Chapter 993: Chapter 993: The Soldier Domain Shatters, Leaving Only Sikong

Facing the overwhelmingly strong Duanmu Chun, Old Xiu chuckled coldly.

“Oh, really? Since the soldiers in your hands are so formidable, lend me some first.”

Upon finishing, the ripples beneath his feet erupted once more, instantly surging outwards like a tempest, encapsulating some members of the East Dominator Team in a flash.

“Wha… What’s happening?”

“We’ve been wrapped by something, we can’t move.”

The front line of team members were terrified, as if bound by the ripples, and then their True Qi suddenly rebelled, no longer under Duanmu Chun’s control.

In the blink of an eye, they were controlled by Old Xiu, turning to suppress Duanmu Chun’s Soldier Killing Array.

Suddenly, the entire Qianyuan Soldier Domain expanded.

Duanmu Chun and his companions were dumbfounded.

Old Xiu not only forced controlled soldiers this time but also forcibly snatched them, and Duanmu Chun, also an Array Master, could not resist.

Gazing at the somewhat flustered Duanmu Chun and his group, Old Xiu smiled faintly, “Duanmu Chun, think of a way to retrieve your soldiers before fighting me again.”

After saying this, Old Xiu turned his back on Duanmu Chun and returned to the Xiu Yi Clinic.

Although he forcefully controlled a layer of team members, commanding them to counterattack Duanmu Chun was still quite difficult, and for now, Old Xiu had done enough; he just needed time…

Upon landing, Old Xiu said, “Old He, take Little Jiang and sneak out immediately.”

Now that the Qianyuan Soldier Domain has been established, the surrounding enemies won’t be able to see what happens here, so Old He can quietly take Jiang Wanyou away, ensuring she has no ties to the Xiu Yi Clinic.

With a heavy nod, Old He took Jiang Wanyou and quietly slipped away.

Sikong Jing watched Jiang Wanyou’s departing figure, remaining silent; now was certainly not the time to talk about other matters.

Once Jiang Wanyou’s safety was assured, Old Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to Sikong Jing, “Young Master Sikong, we should hurry and leave too.”

Certainly, he needed to leave during this time as well. No matter how much forced control of troops he had, he couldn’t be a match for Duanmu Chun. The people from the East Dominator Branch would only grow more numerous and stronger, and other forces might arrive to fish in troubled waters.

And as he left, he would naturally take Sikong Jing with him…

But Sikong Jing suddenly shook his head and said, “Senior Xiu, I don’t want to go with you.”

“Hmm?” Old Xiu was stunned upon hearing this; Sikong Jing didn’t want to leave?

With a gentle smile, Sikong Jing said, “Senior Xiu, may I ask you one more question?”

“Young Master Sikong, feel free to ask,” Old Xiu quickly replied.

Sikong Jing stared at him and asked deeply, “Does your newly built force now have the power to contend against Willow Leaf Saint Manor? Do you have the strength to storm into Willow Leaf Saint Manor and rescue my wife?”

This question left Old Xiu instantly silent.

Sikong Jing immediately understood that their newly formed force was still far from being able to contend against Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

But after a while, Old Xiu still said, “We can give it a try…”

Obviously, Old Xiu understood Sikong Jing’s intention.

If they couldn’t rescue his wife, Sikong Jing felt there was no point in leaving, and Old Xiu also understood his urgency, so he was prepared to agree to give it a try.

However, Sikong Jing gently shook his head.

“Senior Xiu, I can’t selfishly send your newly built force into the fire, even if you could truly oppose Willow Leaf Saint Manor, there are still threats like Qianwang Holy Tower, leading to inevitable destruction.”

“So I can’t leave now; I must temporarily remain in the East Dominator Branch to find my own opportunity.”

“If an opportunity arises, I will definitely need your help, but for now, I can’t and have no right to ask you to risk your lives for me, so please, Senior Xiu, don’t mind me for the time being.”

Upon saying this, Old Xiu stared blankly at him, his heart full of shock.

Sikong Jing was not only unfazed by being called Young Master, but he also insisted he had no right to ask for such sacrifices. Why would he think like this?

By human nature, shouldn’t one begin planning major events after gaining the assistance of powerful people and forces?

More so, he was desperately eager to rescue Su Yuexi.

“Because I only received Grandpa Su’s legacy and have done nothing for you.”

As if seeing through Old Xiu’s mind, Sikong Jing smiled and said, “It’s irresponsible to have you go through fire and water for me without any contribution from my side, so I say I am not truly your Young Master yet.”

Still looking at Sikong Jing in a daze, Old Xiu completely understood — he didn’t want to take without giving.

Clenching his fists tightly, Old Xiu then closed his eyes deeply.

After a while, Old Xiu hoarsely said, “If you don’t come with us, Duanmu Chun won’t let you go.”

Sikong Jing smiled faintly, “Duanmu Chun overheard us talking before and knows I rejected your mentorship. Since I’ve stayed so openly, he likely won’t do anything to me.”

Hearing this, Old Xiu was still worried…

But Sikong Jing continued to smile, “Rest assured, I am confident I can handle it.”

Just then, Old He returned alone after escorting Jiang Wanyou away. He curiously asked, “Old Xiu, why haven’t you left yet?”

Old Xiu looked at Sikong Jing, then bowed deeply once more, saying, “Take care, Young Master Sikong. We’ll find a safe time to contact you again after we leave.”

With that, Old Xiu moved swiftly to Old He’s side and said softly, “Let’s go!”

Old He was stunned by the words, “Young Master Sikong, he…”

“I’ll explain it to you later. Leave immediately,” Old Xiu urged Old He without further explanation, knowing he was about to lose control of the forced soldiers in the East Dominator Team, and leaving any later would be too late.

And so, Old Xiu and Old He disappeared from the Xiu Yi Clinic while Sikong Jing watched them leave.

Sikong Jing then slowly sat down, and all he had to do next was… wait for Duanmu Chun to attack.

Boom, boom, boom…

Outside, loud explosions rang out as the Qianyuan Soldier Domain began to collapse, along with the chaotic screams of the Chaotic Eighth District residents, and finally Duanmu Chun’s triumphant laughter, “Xiu Hanzi, let’s see how you stop me now!”

His victory seemed imminent!

The entire Qianyuan Soldier Domain was starting to fall into disarray.

Duanmu Chun commanded, “Someone, seal off the Xiu Yi Clinic and the surrounding area for me, let no one escape…”

He still didn’t know Old Xiu and Old He had already fled.

Of course, Duanmu Chun was prepared for such scenarios, hence he imposed blockades.

And just as Duanmu Chun issued his order, a strange figure dropped into the chaotic Chaotic Eighth District.

This person sneaked through the streets with a weird smile, whispering to himself, “East Dominator Branch, thank you for breaking through the Qianyuan Soldier Domain, but I’m taking on Xiu Hanzi…”
