Chapter 1924: I’ll Go Rescue Them, You Wait Here
With young master Pei Yusheng’s words, Feng Leibao’s face immediately showed a chilling smile...
That’s right, Su Yue Immortal is indeed a demon!
Previously, he had given Pei Yupo a new task, which was to make up for the failure in the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall; essentially, he still needed him to openly eliminate Murong Jianyun, but now that Pei Yupo basically couldn’t do it, he would do it himself.
"Young master, I’ll head down first then."
After saying this, Feng Leibao immediately descended from the Thunderstorm Roar Beast...
Instantly, it felt as if a bolt of lightning struck down from the Willow Leaf North City, seemingly about to crash straight onto the arena.
Murong Jianyun, who was healing his injuries, suddenly looked up and stared with wide eyes, saying coldly: "Feng Leibao is coming down!"
Everyone was shocked to their core; Sikong Jing heard this and immediately withdrew the Duoye Seal, saying: "Great Heaven Decision, be ready to rescue anytime."
Murong Jianyun nodded heavily upon hearing this and was just about to step off the arena...
But Sikong Jing suddenly thought of something and stopped him, saying: "No, I must go save her; you all continue healing and wait."
The moment he said this, Murong Jianyun and others were stunned on the spot...
Could it be that Sikong Jing wants to personally rescue Su Yue Immortal and face Feng Leibao? Is it to give them more time to heal?
"You temporarily cannot have too much contact with my sister-in-law Yue Xian; I suspect she’ll soon turn into a demon." Sikong Jing’s hoarse voice rang out, reminiscent of his own past experiences.
Before everyone could react, Sikong Jing added in a low voice: "Prepare the Split Armor!"
As his words fell, a large claw slowly emerged from the cabin.
At this moment, the Split Armor Flying Scorpion was also within the Divine Shuttle Ship of Overlord Commerce, serving as a huge force multiplier for them, and it also needed to protect Su Yuexi at all times.
Simultaneously, a crackling sound...
The electric light in the cloud layer seemed to pierce through space, crashing heavily onto the arena, forcing the battle between Su Yue Immortal and Pei Yupo to end; the two instinctively separated and each landed at the edge of the arena.
They looked up, simultaneously fixing their gazes on the figure emerging from the electric light...
Everyone inside and outside the city who could see the arena focused on this suddenly appearing figure, and everyone, except for those on the two Divine Shuttle Ships, was utterly surprised.
Who is this terrifying figure?
The next moment, Pei Yupo growled lowly: "Feng Leibao, why are you suddenly on the arena?"
Although he had been turned into a monkey by Su Yue Immortal, he just did not want to concede defeat immediately; Pei Yupo simply could not bear the consequences of losing. Overwhelmed by successive setbacks, he completely lost all calmness and judgment.
Therefore, the interruption by Feng Leibao naturally irritated him to the extreme.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Feng Leibao’s eyes; he looked down on Pei Yupo even more but still said coldly: "This gambling fight ends here; there’s no need to continue."
He had come down to prevent Pei Yupo from continuing to disgrace himself.
But as his voice fell, Pei Yupo, wide-eyed, shouted: "What do you mean, there’s no need, I..."
Again, not fighting is even more humiliating.
The whole world would say Pei Yupo is incompetent and would be mocked by his siblings; his favored heart couldn’t take it either.
After all, he was the number one among all his siblings.
Yet, Feng Leibao interrupted heavily: "Because she is a demon!"
Saying this, Feng Leibao slowly extended his finger and pointed at Su Yue Immortal, a cruel smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
At that instant, Pei Yupo was dumbfounded, as were Pei Chang and Ye Wushen and others; everyone on the Overlord Commerce’s Divine Shuttle Ship couldn’t help but look at Sikong Jing, who was ready to make a move to rescue, and immediately understood what he had just meant.
Su Yue Immortal, so terrifying without being a combatant, was the so-called demon.
That’s why Sikong Jing didn’t want Murong Jianyun to go rescue her right away but was planning to personally intervene.
Temporarily, he did not want to entangle Overlord Commerce too much with Su Yue Immortal...
At this time, Sikong Jing murmured aboard the Divine Shuttle Ship: "Qianwang Holy Tower is not the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall right now. If they want to launch a full-scale war, they will definitely need an excuse, and having my sister-in-law Yue Xian as a demon is the best excuse."
"Even if it becomes entangled beyond clarity from here on..."
"However, Murong Datian Decision cannot publicly acknowledge any kind of cooperation with Sister-in-law Yue Xian; this way, certain forces on the Central Plains wanting to help Overlord Commerce won’t be too put at a disadvantage."
Indeed, if Overlord Commerce firmly denied any collusion with Su Old Demon Remnants, the situation would be much better.
If a force like Sacred Canggu Peak wished to assist Overlord Commerce, they could simply say there was no connection between Overlord Commerce and Su Old Demon Remnants.
But if the opposite were true, if Overlord Commerce were confirmed to be colluding with Su Old Demon Remnants, no forces could actively step forward to aid them; they would all have to consider whether they might also become demons hunted by everyone.
Meanwhile, Qianwang Holy Tower could use this as a pretext to rally the world against Overlord Commerce.
"Therefore, I must take action, and I might also turn into a demon; Overlord Commerce would soon need to expel me."
"We’ll handle this when it comes; for now, let’s try to maintain the initiative..."
If Sikong Jing were also made into a so-called demon, Overlord Commerce would naturally need to quickly distance themselves from him, a situation Sikong Jing was not unfamiliar with; back in the East Plain Northern Land, he once had the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace expel him.
But now, we’ll have to see how things develop, perhaps hoping for a better outcome.
With Sikong Jing’s words, chills ran through Murong Jianyun and the others’ bodies.
The great cause of demon-slaying held by the Qianwang Holy Tower was unbearably oppressive, yet it demanded careful consideration.
Meanwhile, on the arena, Pei Yupo gradually came to his senses under Feng Leibao’s accusation, his eyes slowly lighting up.
At the Divine Shuttle Ship where Pei Chang was, Chang Sanghuang, Ye Wushen, and others also stood up immediately, their eyes widening likewise.
Indeed, Su Yue Immortal could be considered a demon...
Feng Leibao, continuing to stare at Su Yue Immortal, said: "You are a demon, the granddaughter of Su Old Demon."
At that moment, Su Yue Immortal was also in a daze; she certainly knew about her grandfather’s affairs, but since she arrived on the Central Plains, she had mostly been within the Willow Leaf Holy Tomb, so her knowledge and understanding of the Central Plains were quite limited.
So she was a bit dazed momentarily.
She could only coldly retort: "Because my grandfather is the so-called demon, so I am a demon?"
To this, Feng Leibao stepped forward...
He replied slowly: "This is only part of the reason. The people of the Central Plains aren’t so petty to think that because you are the granddaughter of Su Old Demon, you must be a demon; otherwise, your whole family would have been exterminated already."
Feng Leibao grandly stated, as if Qianwang Holy Tower was acting generously.
Then, with a slight twitch of his lips...
"As long as you live properly, even the direct descendants of Su Old Demon don’t have to be demons, but you now are a demon..."
"Because you, without being a combatant, possess such martial arts combat power, you can only be a demon."
This statement sent a chill through Su Yue Immortal’s entire body as she realized, isn’t this what her grandfather had gone through?
