CHAPTER 1090: CHAPTER 1090: IGNORE THE DEADWEIGHT

Regarding the threat from Shi’an Leader, Duanmu Chun didn’t take it seriously and instead focused his gaze on Sikong Jing.

He saw Sikong Jing had already leapt down from the Iron Bone Flying Vulture and stood before the Spiritual Shadow Array...

Pei Feishan was completely clueless that, to Sikong Jing, the sword skill of Shi’an Killer lacked some spirituality. And he was equally unaware that four super strong individuals were hidden around the Spiritual Shadow Array.

It was at this moment that the elderly man, who previously appeared as a butler, reappeared and said, "Are you Sikong Jing?"

Once Sikong Jing nodded in confirmation, the elderly butler said, "In front of you is our family’s Spiritual Shadow Array, similar to the Soul Snatching Battlefield. Our young lady, Miss Weng Ting, wants you to experience the feeling of the Soul Snatching Battlefield beforehand."

"Only by passing through the Spiritual Shadow Array can you qualify to participate in the Soul Snatching Battle."

"In addition, you must pass through the Spiritual Shadow Array within the stipulated time, or else return to Hanluan City."

At this point, a disdainful look flashed in the eyes of the elderly butler.

The words he said were completely different from those he just said to the siblings of the Zhang Family. Towards the Zhang Family siblings, he asked whether they were interested; for Sikong Jing, however, it was ’fail to pass, and return to Hanluan City,’ just short of saying "get lost."

Sikong Jing could easily discern the contempt in the butler’s tone, furrowing his eyebrows slightly as he asked, "Did your Miss Weng Ting say this?"

Inviting him with such disdain made Sikong Jing both displeased and puzzled.

The elderly butler straightened his chest, replied coldly, "Our Miss Weng certainly wouldn’t say it like that, but that’s the meaning."

At that instant, Sikong Jing understood.

With Weng Ting’s character, she shouldn’t hold such contempt for people. It must be this elderly man before him, displeased after hearing about Sikong Jing’s situation that he was merely a non-combatant at the Reverse Soul Realm.

However, even if Weng Ting didn’t disdain him, she might want to test him. If he couldn’t even pass the Spiritual Shadow Array, he really wouldn’t have face to participate in the Soul Snatching Battle later.

It’s also possible that Weng Ting was just obligated by Duanmu Chun’s influence to extend the invitation to him.

That’s why she arranged this Spiritual Shadow Array, hoping he would retreat knowing his limits.

Upon thinking this, Sikong Jing smiled serenely, saying, "Experiencing the feeling of the Soul Snatching Battle beforehand? I indeed want to give it a try."

Regardless, Sikong Jing would not return just like that.

He planned to pass through the Spiritual Shadow Array first, then decide whether to participate in the Soul Snatching Battle. At that time, he’d observe Weng Ting’s attitude. As long as he passed the Spiritual Shadow Array, the decision was his to make.

If Weng Ting truly held the same attitude as this elderly man, then he wouldn’t join.

"Since you want to try, go ahead. It’s a heavenly opportunity for you."

The elderly butler believed that for a waste like Sikong Jing, who was a non-combatant, even the Spiritual Shadow Array would be a mercy.

Saying this, he tossed a Mechanical Messenger Bird to Sikong Jing, arrogantly stating, "If you feel you’re about to lose your life, send me a message, and I’ll mercifully save you."

It’s clear that in the view of the elderly butler, Sikong Jing might even die in the Spiritual Shadow Array.

Then, Sikong Jing slightly raised his eyebrows as he took the Mechanical Messenger Bird, and in the next moment, it "popped" into powder.

He coldly replied, "No need, if I’m so unfortunate as to lose my life, so be it."

Observing the disdain from others, Sikong Jing wouldn’t remain composed or care about the old man’s reaction, turning around to stride towards the Spiritual Shadow Array, but he could still hear the mocking laughter behind him.

Just as Sikong Jing was about to step into the Spiritual Shadow Array, two figures flashed from afar.

Sikong Jing slightly turned his head, seeing a pair of man and woman already landing.

The man’s posture was upright, his face fair like a woman’s, exceedingly delicate, emitting an aura of the Peak of Martial Battle Realm.

Of course, this person was Xiao Qibo, an outsider invited by Weng Ting from the Martial Battle Realm.

Beside him, the woman wore a red veil, but Sikong Jing didn’t need to look to know she was Hua Meixi.

For her body was exuding a strong Sixth Grade Demon Charm Battle Body aura.

Then, a gleam of light flickered secretly in Sikong Jing’s eyes, murmuring, "Sixth Grade Demon Charm Battle Body, indeed upgraded."

Simultaneously, Hua Meixi naturally noticed Sikong Jing’s presence, her gaze slightly complex calling, "Sikong Jing..."

Just after saying his name, Hua Meixi completely didn’t know what to say.

Still, it was that matter; she indeed didn’t know how to face Sikong Jing, owing two lives!

Sikong Jing laughed, "Captain Hua, so you accepted Senior Sister Weng’s invitation as well. Whatever it is, let’s discuss it at Lingzhuang."

After speaking, Sikong Jing didn’t even greet Xiao Qibo, intending to turn towards the Spiritual Shadow Array.

Previously, he was unaware that Hua Meixi was also invited by Weng Ting, or even that Hua Meixi had awakened from her coma. Judging from her appearance, it seems she had something to tell him, but the surrounding environment was indeed unsuitable.

Hua Meixi seeing this, couldn’t help but call again, "Sikong Jing, I..."

She suddenly wanted to ask about the Shiyu Killer matter and tell Sikong Jing that she and Uncle Yao wanted to save him, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn’t know how to say them... as there were other people around.

The incident of killing two Spirit Martial Stage Peak killers was truly too extraordinary, not fit for public discussion.

Just as Sikong Jing was about to turn back, a soft voice sounded, "Captain Hua, don’t mind this trivial man destined to hold back. Let’s continue discussing how to break through the Spirit Martial Stage."

As the voice fell, Sikong Jing shifted his gaze slightly to the delicate man beside, then smiled indifferently.

With no more words, he stepped into the Spiritual Shadow Array.

Being looked down upon as a non-combatant was too normal. Sikong Jing didn’t mind at all; now, he has half a foot in the Spiritual Shadow Array. The aura inside seemed intriguing...

And just as Sikong Jing entered, the voice of the elderly butler came again behind him.

"You two are Young Master Xiao and Captain Hua, right?"

"This is the Spiritual Shadow Array, I don’t know if you’re interested in challenging it; if not, I can take you up directly..."

Upon hearing this, a small smile curved on Sikong Jing’s lips; the attitude compared to him was worlds apart.

For him, it was ’fail to pass and get lost,’ while others were asked if they were interested, no interest meant not challenging directly.

With a smile, Sikong Jing brushed it off, and the next moment he was immersed in the Spiritual Shadow Array...

Outside, Hua Meixi could only helplessly withdraw her gaze, a bit displeased looking at Xiao Qibo beside her. Saying Sikong Jing was destined to hold back, can someone capable of killing Spirit Martial Stage Peak killers hold back?

She and Xiao Qibo had casually met on the way here, and with his charismatic approach, insisted on tagging along for Martial Arts discussions.

Moreover, projecting a Fifth Grade Battle Body wanting to guide her attitude, Hua Meixi was entirely uninterested, more importantly, despite wearing a veil, his gaze toward her was still filled with desire.

Every word spoken and every glance by the seemingly delicate Xiao Qibo made Hua Meixi feel uncomfortable throughout.

Taking a deep breath, Hua Meixi ignored Xiao Qibo and asked the elderly butler, "I am, of course, interested."

With that said, Hua Meixi without a second thought, flashed and darted into the Spiritual Shadow Array.
