270: Chapter 270: Sudden Accident, Xingluo Palace’s Counterattack 270: Chapter 270: Sudden Accident, Xingluo Palace’s Counterattack Yan Shun’s face gradually calmed down as he heard the words, speaking indifferently, “I am aware of the matter, but is it that hard to kill someone with a Spirit Martial Root?

Just have someone keep an eye on him and his family, there will be plenty of opportunities.”

“Would the prominent Lan Family truly be afraid of a small fry from the Canglong Small Domain?”

Having said this, Yan Shun snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He threw out one last remark, “Make sure he’s dealt with quickly, I don’t want people gossiping about the elimination of someone with a Spirit Martial Root.”

Watching Yan Shun leave, Lan Zhuanghe clenched his teeth, deciding to seek out Yan Ruyu once more.

He decided that he wanted to get clear details on Sikong Jing’s family and situation, not just to kill Sikong Jing, but to cripple and kill each of his family members as well—to err on the side of caution and kill rather than let go!

…

Inside the fortress of the 99th Army, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Each Black-armored Soldier wore an expression of extreme indignation on their faces; despite having conquered the 96th Legion, they were forced to retreat because of Yan Shun’s partiality and personal desires.

Ning Jingjing looked at her thirty thousand Black-armored Soldiers and said slowly, “No matter, we have plenty of opportunities.”

“Today we have obtained the Dark Wing Black Burning Sword, we will no longer be considered just a reserve force.

In the near future, we will surely become the strongest legion within the Long Night Black Burning Army.”

Ning Jingjing’s words made the faces of the thirty thousand Black-armored Soldiers look somewhat better, their fists clenched tight!

“We must also acknowledge that it wasn’t me who conquered the Ninety-Six Legion, all credit goes to Sikong Jing.”

Saying this, Ning Jingjing turned her gaze towards Sikong Jing, not far away.

The thirty thousand Black-armored Soldiers felt a jolt of spirit, for the Dark Wing Black Burning Sword was given to them by Sikong Jing; each of their breakthroughs owed to his Green Jade Tube, and the capture of the Ninety-Six Castle was his strategy.

But when all was said and done, he was still an outsider, not one of the 99th Army.

With this thought, their mood greatly improved.

At this moment, a middle-aged Deputy General of the Martial Arts Sect Realm stepped out and asked, “General Ning, can’t we induct Brother Sikong into the 99th Army?

Now that he is in the Innate Realm, Yan Shun has no reason to suppress him any longer.”

Everyone excitedly turned their gaze towards Sikong Jing.

Aboard the Divine Spaceship, Sikong Jing, with the help of Light Crystals, Innate Treasures of Wang Xiang and Wang Wei, had won over the Black-armored Soldiers.

The battle further elevated Sikong Jing’s esteem in their hearts; his solo duel against a hundred Black-armored Soldiers, his Dark Wing Black Burning Sword, his siege strategy—all garnered him immense respect within the ranks of the 99th Army.

Ning Jingjing remained silent, her expression not looking good.

Elder Wei came forward with a bitter smile and said, “If it hadn’t been for Lan Zhuanghe’s incident, perhaps it might have been possible, but now Yan Shun will certainly not allow us to accept Sikong Jing.

The mere excuse of a Spirit Martial Root is enough.”

At once, the crowd sighed, grinding their teeth in frustration!

Sikong Jing stepped forward with a smile, “I appreciate your kind intentions, but even without the military status of the Long Night Black Burning Army, I can still help the 99th Army, whenever you need me.”

For him, he did owe Ning Jingjing a favor.

And both his father-in-law Su Zhenglong and Su Yue Immortal were also in the 99th Army; contributing to the 99th Army was undeniably his duty.

Moreover, they had made their home in the 99th Town, which gave Sikong Jing a sense of belonging.

“If you have any tasks or something tricky to deal with, be sure to let me know.

I might have a way,” Sikong Jing emphasized again.

The thirty thousand Black-armored Soldiers nodded, none dared to underestimate this Spirit Martial Root.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from outside…

A Black-armored Soldier guarding the gate rushed in to report, “Brother Sikong, your wife has come in a hurry, claiming that there’s an urgent matter she must discuss with you.”

Sikong Jing’s face changed slightly, and he dashed out swiftly.

By this time, Su Yuexi had already been led into the fortress, anxiously waiting in the front hall.

After seeing Sikong Jing, she said, “Brother Jing, Dad, Mom, and the Sui Yu brothers have had an accident.”

In an instant, Sikong Jing’s gaze froze.

A couple of days ago, everyone had followed him to participate in the Martial Combat Test at the Long Night Star Palace.

Unable to enter the palace, a few Black-armored Soldiers had taken them for a tour around the Imperial City.

Weren’t they supposed to have returned to the 99th Town already?

“They didn’t return to the 99th Town, I didn’t see them when I went home.”

“This morning, someone appeared outside the 99th Town and passed me a letter through a messenger, Brother Jing, take a look.”

Su Yuexi handed a letter to Sikong Jing.

On it, there were only a few short sentences.

“Spirit Martial Root, do you want to save your family’s lives?”

“Come alone to the Imperial City Thousand Cup Tower before sunset.

Only you may come, and if you are a quarter hour late, I’ll kill one person.”

“Long Night Star Palace, Gu Wei!”

Sikong Jing’s pupils contracted violently.

“What happened?” Ning Jingjing also walked up to Sikong Jing’s side with Elder Wei and asked.

Passing the letter to Ning Jingjing, Sikong Jing’s brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

The next instant, Elder Wei exclaimed in shock, “It’s Long Night Star Palace’s Gu Wei!

After losing to you, he still wants revenge and is using such a vicious method, involving family members!”

At the Long Night Star Palace, Elder Wei had witnessed Sikong Jing defeat Gu Wei, shaming the latter.

Yet who would have thought that Gu Wei would stoop so low as to target Sikong Jing’s family to threaten him?

“Isn’t he afraid of losing face for the Long Night Star Palace?

Is this the behavior befitting a student of one of the Three Great Academies?” Elder Wei said indignantly.

A student of the honorable Xingluo Palace using family as leverage for revenge was simply disgraceful.

“I’m afraid it’s not just Gu Wei.”

Sikong Jing spoke in a low voice, “I fear the students of the Long Night Star Palace have all come.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei was baffled.

It was at this moment that Ning Jingjing asked, “Sikong Jing, you should have been able to join the Long Night Star Palace.

Why would the Xingluo Palace reject you?”

This was a question both she and Elder Wei had long wanted to ask.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Sikong Jing replied softly, “Because the Long Night Star Palace is full of rubbish.”

Saying so, he recounted to them what had happened at the Long Night Star Palace, of course omitting that the Golden Divine Dragon had come from his Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison, and merely mentioning that it was a fearsome Demon Dragon that had passed by and aided him.

By the time he finished recounting, Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei were utterly dumbfounded and thoroughly shocked.

Such terrifying events had transpired after Elder Wei had left the Xingluo Palace.

Sikong Jing had really stirred up a huge commotion, hadn’t he?

He had invoked the Holy Dragon Seven Footprints to resist the dean of the Long Night Star Palace Martial Arts Institute, Bai Changwu.

Moreover, the presence of the Holy Dragon attracted an Ancient Demon Dragon which, upon seeing an injustice, bellowed…

…and razed much of the Long Night Star Palace.

With the leverage of that power, Sikong Jing even managed to kill the deputy dean, Bai Changkong.

Gulp…

Any one of these acts would have been enough to see Sikong Jing dead a thousand, even ten thousand times over.

But to top it off, the Ancient Demon Dragon had left a mark on Sikong Jing, warning the elders and instructors not to intervene or else it would destroy the Long Night Star Palace.

What madness.

Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei felt like they were going insane.

Even the Emperor of the Long Night Empire wouldn’t dare to do this.

But Sikong Jing had done it.
