293: Chapter 293 General Ning Goes Home 293: Chapter 293 General Ning Goes Home Seeing everyone’s expressions, Senior Brother Lang was on the verge of tears; he was always known for helping the weak and maintaining a good reputation.

The feeling of being doubted was truly unbearable.

Suddenly, he saw Sikong Jing and called out with a brightened expression, “Junior brother, you’ve come at the perfect time, quickly tell them that it was you, a Level 1 apprentice, who led me through the trials of the Golden Dragon Mountain Path.

Prove it for me!”

As he spoke, Senior Brother Lang’s voice began to tremble.

Sikong Jing was stunned, and the other students from the Golden Dragon Mountain also looked over, with curiosity and suspicion in their eyes.

“Senior Brother must be joking, it wasn’t me,” Sikong Jing spoke softly hesitantly, then headed down the mountain and away.

In an instant, Senior Brother Lang was dumbfounded.

After a while, he shouted desperately, “Junior brother, you can’t do this to me.

It was clearly you who led me through the Golden Dragon Mountain Path.

Prove it quickly, otherwise I’ll never be able to clear my name even if I jump into a river or the sea!”

However, Sikong Jing ignored him, his lips curling into a smile as he walked faster and faster.

He still had to keep his affairs secret, it was better not to be too conspicuous for the time being, and telling the truth would surely bring a heap of trouble, perhaps even leading to interrogation.

Since Qin Heng hadn’t yet returned to the Academy, Senior Brother Lang had to bear the brunt of it.

“Senior Brother Lang, you’ve really disappointed us, you could at least find a better excuse,” said a group of people, sighing continuously.

In fact, no one believed his story; a Level 1 apprentice conquering the trial of the Golden Dragon Mountain Path and bringing Senior Brother Lang along?

What a joke.

“Junior brother, junior brother…

don’t leave,” Senior Brother Lang called out in desperation, and he truly cried.

Sikong Jing walked even faster, soon descending Golden Dragon Mountain and arriving at the Task Hall, where he encountered Master Wen.

Yu Yan happened to not be in the Task Hall that day.

“Master Wen, how is my task coming along?” Sikong Jing asked with concern.

Master Wen Wen shook his head and replied, “No one has shown any interest.”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes as he spoke firmly, “Then I’ll raise the price to 3 million points.”

At this statement, Master Wen’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Have you created another new Beast Skill?”

“Yes, I’ve gleaned two kinds of Beast Skills from the two at the Martial Dragon Palace; now I can carve them into the Green Jade Tube.”

Sikong Jing nodded, took the blank Green Jade Tube under Master Wen’s excited gaze, carved the two Beast Skills, and in exchange, received 1.6 million points, plus the 600,000 from Baili Que, and the previous 800,000, totaling 3 million!

When Sikong Jing left, the Light Crystal Task List had been updated, with the points reward for collecting two types of medicine increased to 3 million.

“In less than a month, five high-level Hong-grade Beast Skills, that’s terrifying.”

Watching Sikong Jing’s departing figure, Master Wen murmured to himself, eyes wide with shock.

…

In 99th Town, when Sikong Jing returned, it was as peaceful as ever.

He quickly went to his father-in-law Su Zhenglong’s house and shouted, “Yue Xi, I’m back.”

After finishing his call, he pushed the door open, but the house was empty.

It was dinnertime, and his mother-in-law Mei Xiaofang and Su Yuexi should have been at home.

“Could they be at Su Yue Immortal’s house?”

Since both Su Yue Immortal and Su Zhenglong could join the Black Burning Army, they owned two houses in the 99th Town.

Just as Sikong Jing was about to turn towards Su Yue Immortal’s house, he heard footsteps approaching from outside.

There was also the voice of a middle-aged woman, who was heard saying, “Mei Xiaofang, have you thought it through?”

Then came the voice of his mother-in-law, Mei Xiaofang, “It’s impossible, go away.”

As soon as the words fell, the unfamiliar middle-aged woman sneered and spoke, “Mei Xiaofang, don’t push your luck.

If you don’t agree to this, do you know what will happen to your husband and eldest daughter?”

There was a moment of frozen air, and Mei Xiaofang screamed suddenly, “What do you want to do?”

The middle-aged woman scoffed in reply, “Your husband and your eldest daughter are now in the Black Burning Reserve Camp, and they are participating in a very brutal training, where deaths can happen at any time.”

Between the lines, the threat was clear.

“You also know my husband is a Deputy General in the Martial Arts Sect Realm of the 99th Army, it would be very easy to kill them,” the middle-aged woman’s voice was ice-cold, sending chills throughout Mei Xiaofang’s body.

Within the house, Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with cold light, and a killing intent emerged.

However, Sikong Jing did not come out immediately but chose to listen to what this middle-aged woman wanted his mother-in-law to agree to.

“You dare?

General Ning won’t let you off,” Mei Xiaofang screamed out, her body shaking violently.

“Kikikiki…”

The middle-aged woman laughed softly, “You probably don’t know yet, General Ning went back home two days ago.

It’s said that she was caught for breaking some family rule, and at least she won’t be able to come back tonight.”

“Killing your husband and eldest daughter, even if General Ning comes back, we can make it look like an accident.

Such a simple matter.”

In an instant, Mei Xiaofang felt a bone-chilling coldness.

“Our son-in-law won’t let you off either,” Mei Xiaofang bit her teeth, but in the end, that was all she could say.

But the middle-aged woman still laughed heartily, “Your son-in-law is just a little apprentice in the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, who knows when he will be back?

Even if he comes back, do you dare to tell him the truth?”

“Your youngest daughter, Su Yuexi, will soon be climbing into General Lan’s bed.

Do you dare tell your son-in-law about this?”

“When that happens and the deed is done, do you dare to tell him?”

Boom!

As soon as these words fell, Sikong Jing, who was inside the house, could no longer restrain himself and suddenly stepped forward, his terrifying killing intent threatening to drown the middle-aged woman opposite Mei Xiaofang.

A hoarse voice, like a demon’s, resounded, “What did you just say?

Say it to me again!”

Thud!

After speaking, Sikong Jing took another heavy step, shaking the middle-aged woman to the ground with a thump.

“Ajing, you’ve finally come back.”

Mei Xiaofang called out in surprise, then hurried over and explained, “This woman is the wife of Pan Zha, the Deputy General of the 99th Army, but they’ve already aligned themselves with General Lan Zhuanghe of the 96th Legion.”

“Just these past few days, she has been harassing us.”

“She says, if we don’t send Yue Xi to the 96th Town, we won’t be able to stay in 99th Town anymore.”

“And recently, Yue Xi and I dared not leave 99th Town for even a step.

People from Lan Zhuanghe’s side have been watching us all the time.”

Upon seeing Sikong Jing, Mei Xiaofang felt like she had found her backbone and spilled all the details, then added, “Now they also want to use the lives of your father and Yue Xian to threaten us.”

“Without General Ning inside the 99th Army, it’s Deputy General Pan Zha who calls the shots.”

The more Sikong Jing listened, the colder his gaze became.

With Ning Jingjing around, 99th Town had been absolutely safe, but he had not anticipated that Ning Jingjing would be forced to return home and that the united 99th Army would also immediately show changes.

And this Deputy General Pan Zha had obviously been bought over by Lan Zhuanghe.

“Where is Yue Xi?

Where is she now?” Sikong Jing asked anxiously.

Mei Xiaofang quickly replied, “She’s at Sui Yu’s house.”

“These past few days, some hooligans from 99th Town have been troubling her.

I’m worried she might get secretly kidnapped, so we had to hide her at Sui Yu’s house, looked after by his parents for the time being.”
