Just as everyone from Overlord Commerce was in a daze...
Dozens of civilians who had come to pay respects to Young Master Fu widened their eyes, and then all pushed aside Fu Jiaoxing and others standing before them, rushing towards Sikong Jing. Everyone finally recognized him.
"It is truly Sikong God General, we pay respects to Sikong God General!"
"We pay respects to Sikong God General..."
As the words fell, dozens of people all bowed down towards Sikong Jing, their faces flushed with excitement.
This sudden scene left Fu Jiaoxing dumbfounded, Hua Meixi stunned, and Gongyang Ying with his mouth wide open. Everyone from Overlord Commerce around was all dumbfounded, utterly confused.
But Sikong Jing remained indifferent and calm, saying to the several dozen people in front of him: "There’s no need for such formalities, everyone please rise."
Upon hearing this, everyone trembled as they rose to their feet.
However, in the next moment, Sikong Jing’s gaze sharpened and pointed at Fu Jiaoxing, speaking quietly to the dozens of civilians: "They say gentlemen love wealth and should acquire it righteously. How much benefit did you just receive from this person?"
These words caused the faces of the dozens of people to change dramatically... Of course, they had received benefits for coming to pay respects to Young Master Fu.
Just a moment ago, two people suddenly appeared, saying that if they just went to see Young Master Fu, they could receive ten pieces of Light Crystal.
What is called Light Crystal is something used to make Purple Crystal Coins, something even the lowest civilians in Canglong Small Domain clearly understood.
The value was unbelievably high in Canglong Small Domain.
Fu Jiaoxing’s face dramatically changed, and before the civilians could speak, he quickly shouted, "Sikong Jing, what nonsense are you spouting?"
However, Sikong Jing ignored him and stared at the dozens of civilians before him... Their faces turned pale, and then they slowly knelt again and said, "We’re sorry, Sikong God General, we know we were wrong."
After speaking, they quickly threw away the benefits they had received just now, and immediately many blocks of Light Crystal appeared on the ground.
At once, Fu Jiaoxing’s face turned pale and colorless. He instinctively looked towards Hua Meixi... The latter’s face slowly turned iron green, how could they not know they were deceived just now?
"Captain Hua, I didn’t bribe them, it’s all Sikong Jing playing tricks." Fu Jiaoxing hurriedly and wildly defended himself upon seeing this.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was already in uproar...
"Where is Sikong God General?"
"He’s right over there, let’s quickly go pay respects to Sikong God General."
Outside Beiwu City, there was a commotion, naturally, they heard the exclamations just now from the dozens of people, and then it spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred.
Then more and more people rushed over, all paying respects to Sikong God General, eyes filled with admiration.
"Everyone, please rise, I’m merely passing by, no need to concern yourself." Sikong Jing’s voice was calm yet powerful.
But still, many people lingered unwilling to get up, especially the locals of Yunzhou, they clearly knew a few months ago that the Blood Dragon was slain by Sikong God General.
If Su Beiheng and Ye Wuyan were already dead gods, then Sikong Jing is the living god in their hearts.
Here, Sikong Jing, seeing no way to convince the people, and with more people rushing out from Beiwu City, said nothing further, just instructed them to collect the Light Crystals from the ground and redistribute them.
After finishing, he looked at Fu Jiaoxing and questioned, "Do I need to bribe?"
Fu Jiaoxing opened his mouth wide, his face completely bloodless.
His heart roaring, how could this be, what on earth is the situation?
Oh right, Sikong Jing was born in some Small Domain, and his mother damn it, is from the Sword Formation Small Domain of Su Old Demon.
Perhaps many in the Long Night Empire knew Sikong Jing was born in Canglong Small Domain.
However, Fu Jiaoxing wasn’t from Long Night Empire, how could he possibly know, the rumor simply said it was some Small Domain in the Minglong Mountain Range, as to what the Small Domain was called, why would he care?
The same goes for people like Guo Zixia and those from Overlord Commerce.
Upon figuring it out, Fu Jiaoxing’s heart went into extreme chaos...
Here, Sikong Jing swept a glance at Hua Meixi, whose face was equally unsightly, then shifted back to look at Hua Lidian, "Mr. Hua, it’s not that I ignored your advice, but too many people don’t recognize the kind-hearted, truly sorry about that."
Hua Lidian’s expression was also awkward to the extreme, helplessly looking towards his daughter, why didn’t she believe in Sikong Jing?
And Hua Meixi started trembling all over, for a moment she wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
At this moment, a cadet from the Holy Dragon Academy shouted wildly, "Even if they were bribed by us, so what? Our Senior Brother Fu has at least seen a corner of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, have you ever seen it?"
Anyway, they couldn’t let Senior Brother Fu offend Hua Meixi too severely, otherwise, it would be troublesome.
"Yes, I’ve seen it, I participated in the siege of Su Old Demon, did you?" Fu Jiaoxing said with a face of madness.
Sikong Jing sneered coldly and casually pointed at one of the people from Beiwu City, casually saying, "You, tell him what the situation was when the Beiheng Sword Formation appeared."
"Yes, Sikong God General."
That person immediately stood up after hearing the words, full of pride, he said, "When the Beiheng Sword Formation appeared, the wind and clouds changed, sword light filled Yunye City, and terrible demon beasts appeared in the sky over Yunye City, none dared to approach even half a step."
Someone else jumped out to pick up the conversation, "Meanwhile, Sikong God General was also in Yunye City, to say God General didn’t participate is simply a joke."
"God General was in Yunye City at the time, it was also him who asked us to move out, and he was the one who established this Beiwu City." Another former resident of Yunye City rushed out to speak, each of them sneered coldly at Fu Jiaoxing.
And Sikong Jing then slowly spoke again, "Fu Jiaoxing, I was in Yunye City at the time, right in the center of the Sword Formation. Why didn’t I see you? The mounts of all the major forces were in the sky above the Sword Array, no one dared to come near."
"And where were you, Ancestor Han Long of Imperial Dragon Mountain, at that time?"
Once these words were spoken, Fu Jiaoxing and the others looked like they had eaten excrement, utterly unable to speak.
Just then, a civilian pointed at Fu Jiaoxing and laughed, "So this man was bragging in front of Sikong God General."
"It’s killing me, so this is what happens when a braggart meets someone who knows the truth?"
The crowd laughed crazily, all mocking Fu Jiaoxing.
Fu Jiaoxing’s mind was buzzing, he felt like he was going insane.
He looked at Sikong Jing, then at Hua Meixi, almost fuming mad, and finally at the people mocking him.
Unable to take it, he spat out a mouthful of blood wildly.
In the next moment, he roared at all civilians, "You damn ants and lowly people, I’ll kill you all."
After saying that, True Qi suddenly exploded, and he actually threw a punch at the densely packed civilians of Beiwu City.
"Fu Jiaoxing, are you courting death?"
Seeing this, Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with anger, instantly disappearing from where he stood before appearing above the civilians, casually striking out a palm that stopped Fu Jiaoxing’s attack and dissipated the ripple into nothing.
Next, killing intent surged in Sikong Jing’s eyes: "Dare to harm the people of my Canglong Small Domain, die!"
With those words, before Fu Jiaoxing could react, Sikong Jing’s right hand transformed into a claw reaching for him.
The pitch-black giant claw was about to grab Fu Jiaoxing firmly.
And Fu Jiaoxing was completely stunned mid-air, having no strength to resist, in an instant he smelled the scent of death.
