Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Soul Snatching Battle, I Accept

Watching Weng Ting’s departing figure, a gleam flashed in Duanmu Chun’s eyes.

“Sikong Jing, I’ve already given you a path to leave Hanluan City for a while for growth. Seize the opportunity to crazily improve before you return, so no one has any reason to underestimate you.”

“Time and space are both there; it’s up to you whether you can grasp it.”

“Moreover, if the Soul Snatching Battle of Weng Ting’s family succeeds, it will greatly benefit your Spiritual Shadow.”

He was talking to himself, as he didn’t yet want to tell Sikong Jing too much. He would only step in if Sikong Jing insisted on refusing Weng Ting’s invitation… to persuade Sikong Jing to agree…

Currently, in Hanluan City, Shiyu Commerce wishes to retaliate against Sikong Jing, and there are quite a few people in the East Dominator Branch who want him dead as well.

Therefore, Duanmu Chun offered Sikong Jing this path to first leave Hanluan City for a while.

Of course, the Soul Snatching Battle is also extremely perilous.

Success aside, one must return alive first. But at least the individuals Sikong Jing will face won’t be terrifying existences like Yang Zhi or Pei Feishan.

…

At the Sky Wolf Court, Sikong Jing’s cultivation was interrupted again.

He looked somewhat surprised at the person who came to find him and then smilingly said, “Senior Sister Weng, Captain Yang has already entered the Soul Dominator Secret Realm. If you have something to discuss with him, please wait until he exits the realm.”

In Sikong Jing’s view, Weng Ting was surely here to find Yang Yi, and it seemed the two had a fairly good relationship.

Sikong Jing also had a good impression of Weng Ting.

She was a natural genius but didn’t have that aloof demeanor most geniuses possessed, and she kept her word. Yang Yi also had high regard for her.

However, after he spoke, Sikong Jing noticed that Weng Ting was scrutinizing him continuously. He asked in confusion, “Senior Sister Weng?”

Recently, many people had been looking at him like this, as if trying to see through him.

Upon hearing this, Weng Ting slowly retracted her gaze and immediately replied, “I’m not here for Yang Yi, but for you.”

She did not see anything particularly special about Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing was full of confusion again, wondering what he had that would interest Weng Ting.

“I’m planning to invite you to join my family’s Soul Snatching Team.” Weng Ting stopped beating around the bush and directly told Sikong Jing about the matter of inviting five outside experts, and he was one of the invitees.

“Originally, I wanted to invite your Captain Yang, but he couldn’t participate, so I thought of you.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s expression became perplexed beyond measure. Weng Ting actually came to invite him… It’s well-known outside right now that he was able to kill Wan Tonghui because of the Emperor’s Artifact given by Yao Yulou.

In Weng Ting’s view, wasn’t he supposed to be a drag?

“It was the Great Dominator Technique that recommended you to me, saying that you would definitely be my special force, so I believe him,” Weng Ting added.

Instantly, a gleam flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes, and he immediately understood.

Because Duanmu Chun knew about his Spirit and Martial Fusion, and this move was likely intended to create a space for him to avoid all the sharp edges of Hanluan City, Sikong Jing’s impression of Duanmu Chun grew fonder.

Pondering for a moment, Sikong Jing asked, “Senior Sister Weng, what is the Soul Snatching Battle? What are the benefits?”

He had quite a few things he needed to focus on for cultivation, and if it wasn’t very useful, Sikong Jing wasn’t interested in participating.

Although there were many dangers remaining in Hanluan City, he wasn’t without ways to handle them.

Weng Ting straightforwardly replied, “Firstly, my family is a lower Emperor-grade force. If you are willing to participate, you naturally won’t lack benefits and rewards, which you can rest assured of.”

Being able to enter the Emperor-grade proves that there are strong individuals of the Emperor Martial Stage in the family, and in the Central Plains, they’ve truly entered the upper echelon.

“Secondly, why is it called Soul Snatching?”

“Precisely because in the Soul Snatching Battlefield, there are all kinds of Spiritual Shadows, left by some Spirit Martial Stage experts after their death. Every ten years, a Spiritual Shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage expert appears.”

“What we need to compete for are these Spiritual Shadows of Emperor Martial Stage experts.”

“As long as you snatch the Spiritual Shadow of an Emperor Martial Stage expert, it can strengthen your own Spiritual Shadow. Even if you can’t snatch it, you can experience the impact of various kinds of Spiritual Shadows in the Soul Snatching Battlefield, gaining deeper insights into the Spirit Martial Stage.”

“Of course, the most crucial aspect of the Soul Snatching Battle is to seize the strongest Spiritual Shadow, which is very important for my family.”

With Weng Ting’s explanation, Sikong Jing understood.

The Soul Snatching Battle could greatly benefit Weng Ting, who had just entered the Spirit Martial Stage. It could also allow those who have not yet reached the Spirit Martial Stage to experience what a Spiritual Shadow is, thus making Spirit and Martial Fusion smoother.

It had a significant benefit for reaching the Spirit Martial Stage…

It’s known that whether it’s a War Body or an ordinary person, the opportunity to enter the Spirit Martial Stage is equal, and many people spend their whole lives stuck at the Peak of the Martial Battle Realm, unable to advance, including many powerful War Bodies.

Seeing Sikong Jing’s interest, Weng Ting continued, “But ugly words first, the Soul Snatching Battle involves not only our family but also several other forces of the same lower Emperor-grade, including individuals like me who have joined major forces.”

“Therefore, a misstep could cost your life. Once dead, there’s no benefit.”

After speaking, Weng Ting stared at Sikong Jing…

And precisely because of the great danger, those Fifth-Grade War Bodies from the East Dominator Branch refused one after another.

Sikong Jing’s expression remained unchanged; what kind of struggle did not have life-threatening risks? He was used to such things, and he suddenly asked in a low voice, “Senior Sister Weng, are there Demon Beast Spiritual Shadows in the Soul Snatching Battlefield?”

Upon hearing this, Weng Ting looked at him, puzzled, and then nodded, “Quite a lot.”

“Good, then I’ll accept Senior Sister Weng’s invitation.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing agreed without hesitation. Wherever there were demon beasts, there were things he could gain and improve with, and he was curious to see what a Demon Beast Spiritual Shadow looked like.

Weng Ting was stunned again. Why did he agree just because there were Demon Beast Spiritual Shadows?

However, Weng Ting didn’t question further, nodding as she tossed out a map and said, “In three days’ time, gather at the marked location on the map. If you’re late, we won’t wait for you.”

“That’s it for now, I’m leaving.”

After speaking, Weng Ting left the Sky Wolf Court.

Sikong Jing unfolded the map to look at it and realized that the marked place was the Old Man Spirit Manor, thousands of miles away from Hanluan City.

Retrieving the map, Sikong Jing murmured, “Only three days, seems I need to pack and depart immediately.”

Hanluan City was extremely vast; even within the East Dominator Courtyard, one needed small Divine Shuttle Ships for transportation. Traveling to Old Man Spirit Manor with an ordinary-speed Divine Shuttle Ship would take one and a half days.

Sikong Jing didn’t intend to use the Sky Wolf Team’s Divine Shuttle Ship, so it would take even longer.

With a low laugh, Sikong Jing said, “Iron Bone, get ready to depart. On the way, I want to devour the inner core of the Iron Winged Divine Vulture.”

The Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger Meridian recorded within was too powerful and complex, not something that could be resolved in a short time. Therefore, Sikong Jing was finally prepared to swallow the Emperor Martial Stage Iron Winged Divine Vulture’s inner core procured from Minglong Village.

Currently, this inner core was still in the hands of the Iron Bone Flying Vulture, being played with and comprehended daily.
