Sikong Jing seemed oblivious to Gongyang Ying’s gradually resentful and gloomy gaze.
He warned heavily again, "Also, the Detoxification Pill is my own thing. If you dare say it was given by Gongyang Ying one more time, I’ll sprinkle the world’s rare poison in your mouths and, when you’re about to die, give you the antidote..."
"And if done repeatedly forty-nine times, I’ll send you off to the afterlife."
His voice was chilling to the extreme, and imagining the scene he described made everyone shiver unconsciously.
With a cold laugh, Sikong Jing turned indifferently and walked towards the hall exit, naturally moving step by step to the waiting Chou Zhan.
Gongyang Ying looked dumbfoundedly at Sikong Jing’s back, as if he had no intention of acknowledging her.
She had just resolved to follow Sikong Jing in the upcoming quota battle.
But it turned out he wasn’t here to help her; he just wanted to prove he had nothing to do with her. Why should she follow him? She, the proud Miss Gongyang, couldn’t possibly rush up and say, "Sikong Jing, take me with you!"
While Gongyang Ying was in a daze, Fu Jiaoxing suddenly shouted, "Hold on, hit someone and think you can just leave?"
Everyone’s gaze shifted, finally, the top genius of the Three Great Academies appeared.
Sikong Jing stopped his steps, turned back with a cold smile, "Looking for a beating too?"
Instantly, Fu Jiaoxing’s face grew slightly cold.
To be honest, Fu Jiaoxing wanted to strike down Sikong Jing, but he wasn’t confident.
Moreover, making a move now would reveal his trump card to Guo Zixia and Shang Fu, which wasn’t good.
Thus, after hesitating, he continued, "Sikong Jing, don’t you know that it’s forbidden to take action in Overlord Commerce?"
This statement immediately reminded everyone, prompting several people to jump out.
Someone even shouted loudly, "Esteemed members of Overlord Commerce, Sikong Jing acted violently at the banquet."
His voice echoed far and wide, as if unable to beat him, they sought out someone who could punish Sikong Jing.
Seeing this, Fu Jiaoxing laughed coldly, looking to summon the host of Overlord Commerce.
In just an instant, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared.
Behind her were several fighters from Overlord Commerce, all of whom were Dao Inquiry Realm existences, exuding immense power.
Though they wouldn’t interfere with the banquet proceedings, Overlord Commerce had people stationed around to prevent unexpected situations.
Glancing at the scene, the middle-aged woman of Overlord Commerce naturally saw several people’s swollen faces.
Her expression sank, and she asked lightly, "What happened here?"
Junior Sister Lan rushed up first, pointed at Sikong Jing, then at her own face, saying that Sikong Jing attacked someone, adding fuel to the fire by telling how Sikong Jing behaved arrogantly, disregarding the rules of Overlord Commerce.
Anyway, she exaggerated it to the extreme, and everyone present would testify her words to be true!
Even if they were false, everyone would prove them true.
The middle-aged woman listened and her face turned more unpleasant. Looking at Sikong Jing, she asked coldly, "Is this true?"
"Yes, it’s all true," Sikong Jing shrugged, directly admitting.
Gongyang Ying froze once more, Junior Sister Lan obviously exaggerated, couldn’t he defend himself a bit?
Arrogantly admitting, the middle-aged woman said coldly, "As you entered, my people from Overlord Commerce should have made it clear to you that no matter what happens in the Ancient Building, you cannot act out, did you not hear clearly?"
With her words, the Dao Inquiry Realm masters around already pushed forward, waiting for her command to apprehend.
Sikong Jing smiled slightly, "I heard clearly, but I still hit them because I’m Sikong Jing."
Finishing his words, Sikong Jing turned around, faced the surrounding Dao Inquiry Realm masters, and said indifferently, "Move aside."
This attitude left everyone in the banquet hall puzzled. Sikong Jing dared to be arrogant, yet the middle-aged woman in front of him was a deacon of Overlord Commerce, where did he get such confidence?
However, very quickly, everyone showed mocking looks; Sikong Jing was doomed, at least he would be severely crushed by Overlord Commerce.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, the middle-aged woman’s sharp gaze froze, her face changed frantically.
Finally, she waved to the Dao Inquiry Realm masters, ordering them, "Step aside, let him pass..."
The martial arts geniuses looked dumbstruck, unable to help but exclaim, even Guo Zixia wanted to shout out why.
The Dao Inquiry Realm masters also looked bewildered, exchanging glances, but ultimately followed orders and moved aside, letting Sikong Jing pass.
As for Sikong Jing, he swaggered over to Chou Zhan, said with a smile, "Brother Chou, let’s go."
For the first time, Chou Zhan seriously sized up Sikong Jing, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, but ultimately replied with a single word, "Alright."
With that, the two walked out of the Batian Ancient Tower, unimpeded.
Only after the two had left, Guo Zixia couldn’t help but rush to the middle-aged woman, asking, "Deacon Luo, why?"
The middle-aged woman, Deacon Luo, was indeed the deacon of the War Martial Region, Guo Zixia naturally knew her.
"Because, he’s Sikong Jing..."
Deacon Luo murmured to herself, turning away without saying more, unwilling to say or involve herself any further.
Instantly, everyone was more bewildered!
Why could he hit people without being punished just because he’s Sikong Jing?
Could his background be unbelievably deep, was someone in Overlord Commerce protecting him?
But wasn’t he from some Small Domain in the Minglong Mountain Range?
Damn, now they really had to think it over, should they leave the current battle and follow Sikong Jing instead?
No one knew that the reason Deacon Luo didn’t act wasn’t because Sikong Jing’s background was strong, quite the opposite, Sikong Jing was now someone Ju Dan wanted to dismember, someone Elder Mo and others were unsure how to handle.
As a bottom-tier deacon, Deacon Luo simply didn’t want to get involved.
Everything would have to wait until after the judgment of Hua Lidian.
And Sikong Jing dared to speak as he did because he saw this...
Right now, he’s like a broken jar in Overlord Commerce, no matter how he gets smashed, nothing will happen, because they all want to leave him to Ju Dan, and because he knows the five decision makers secretly side with Hua Lidian, making things difficult for the deacons.
"Ah Yin, I misunderstood you just now, I’m sorry."
Amidst everyone’s confusion, Ling Feiyan’s voice suddenly rang out.
With Sikong Jing’s five-finger red seal still on her face, she ran to Gongyang Ying’s side, unexpectedly apologizing.
Gongyang Ying’s expression stiffened slightly, took a deep breath, and replied, "Senior Sister Ling, do you now believe that I have no connection with Sikong Jing?"
"I believe, of course I believe."
Ling Feiyan spoke emphatically, but inwardly thought... no matter your connection, what we see is Sikong Jing standing up for you, and Sikong Jing’s background in Overlord Commerce is unquestionably formidable.
Otherwise, how could he announce his name and Deacon Luo let him go directly?
Perhaps with him, we can easily outperform the geniuses from the other three places in East Plain, now she must please Gongyang Ying, she had to sincerely apologize, had to renew sisterly bonds...
Looking at Ling Feiyan, everyone exchanged glances, naturally seeing through her thoughts.
Junior Brother Liu whispered, "Senior Brother Shang, what do we do?"
