Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Hua Lidian, There’s a Turnaround

Sikong Jing’s intention was, of course, to find a way to rescue Hua Lidian...

Since this Elder Ge was one of Hua Lidian’s people and apparently had come to rescue him, it proved there was still a chance for things to turn around.

It wasn’t the worst time yet.

Therefore, Sikong Jing gave the Iron Bone Flying Vulture a glance, subtly signaled, and refrained from making any more domineering and extreme moves.

He spared Tian Budian’s life for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ge nodded gently, then turned to Tian Budian and ordered, "Leave Sikong Jing’s Divine Spaceship immediately, let this matter end here for now; don’t let others laugh at our Overlord Commerce."

Tian Budian frowned again, very displeased with Elder Ge’s command, but after thinking, he could only nod in agreement.

He had no choice, he couldn’t defeat Elder Ge.

Thus, he ordered the Dao Inquiry Realm experts to return to their little Divine Spaceships, while he himself landed on the Divine Spaceship of the brothers Lang Yiwei, having many words he wanted to say to Elder Ge.

Or, more accurately... to severely warn Elder Ge.

On this side, Sikong Jing shrugged and said, "Senior Brother Lang, let’s go into Zhanwu City and say goodbye to your two brothers."

Lang Yizhan, hearing this, looked over and said coldly, "Big brother, third brother... we’ll meet at home."

After these words, Changhua passed right by the two men’s Divine Spaceships.

Lang Yiwei and Lang Yizhan’s expressions turned extremely unpleasant, but they quickly drew them back; they still needed to see what attitude Elder Ge would take.

After Changhua had moved away, Tian Budian then withdrew his gaze and said with a cold laugh, "Elder Ge, by doing this... "

Before he could finish, Elder Ge interrupted again, "Deacon Tian, you almost died just now."

"Huh?" Tian Budian was stunned. What did he mean?

Elder Ge, with eyes lowered, stared at him and slowly said, "Did you not notice that Little Flying Vulture? Do you not know how Mo Ci and Deacon Ren Dongmeng died?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Budian’s pupils violently contracted, and suddenly, his body was covered in cold sweat...

He, of course, knew that Mo Ci had been killed by a surprise attack from Sikong Jing’s Iron Bone Flying Vulture; he also knew that Ren Dongmeng had been crushed to death by Sikong Jing using the Iron Bone Flying Vulture.

And the Little Flying Vulture with no fluctuation of demonic power turned out to be the Iron Bone Flying Vulture, reduced in size.

He had completely misjudged the situation. Sikong Jing wasn’t trying to escape; he actually intended to kill him.

Looking at Tian Budian’s frightened and ridiculous expression, Elder Ge coldly retorted, "Deacon Tian, now do you think I’m hindering you, or saving you?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Budian’s attitude changed drastically, and he immediately clasped his fists, "Thank you, Elder Ge, for your timely rescue."

"Hmm."

Elder Ge slightly nodded, then said, "About the matter of Hua Lidian, as far as I know, the higher-ups plan to send someone down to make decisions, even if Ju Dan’s merit is great and fearsome, you taking her side will also be risky... Understand?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Budian’s eyes widened again, asking in disbelief, "Higher-ups, sending someone down?"

Clearly, he was unaware of this.

The so-called higher-ups were naturally the Overlord Association of the Central Plains.

"Yes, the killing of a deacon is no small matter, hence the higher-ups are sending someone down for judgment and decision-making."

"We are not exactly sure who has been sent down yet; there’s a high likelihood they will look favorably upon Ju Dan and handle Hua Lidian and Sikong Jing on her behalf, but there’s also a slim possibility they will not."

"No matter what decision they make, with such significant merit, Ju Dan certainly won’t be in trouble, but your situation, as a lackey, is not so certain."

"Now, do you understand why I didn’t let you take Sikong Jing for yourself?"

Following Elder Ge’s remarks, Tian Budian’s expression crazily shifted before he eventually bowed deeply with a clasped fist.

With people sent down from above to judge this matter, it could be trivial or significant!

If Hua Lidian is judged innocent and released, then my private handling of Sikong Jing could lead to my own punishment.

Suddenly, he lost the arrogant attitude he had towards Elder Ge just moments before, and he absolutely needed to express his gratitude profusely.

"I know you’ve thrown in your lot with Ju Dan, but you’re still a deacon of the East Plain Northern Land, communicate with me more about what’s going on."

Having said that, Elder Ge left promptly without saying another word...

But he quickly came flashing back, suddenly slapping Lang Yizhan with a ... smack!

A heavy slap was delivered, and then he vanished again.

Lang Yizhan screamed miserably as he flew out, nearly crashing over the railing, yet he dared not voice his anger.

This slap, he understood very well, was because of that utterance just now... "Old Witch."

Lang Yiwei did not get involved in his younger brother’s situation but turned to Tian Budian and spoke solemnly, "Deacon Tian, I fear this incident might lead to a demotion by our father, please take some time to come back with us."

In response, Tian Budian replied indifferently, "What’s there to fear? Just tell him I’ve promised to expand the business of Wanbao Pavilion out of the East Plain Northern Land, and your father will be more than happy. For now... I’m busy."

With that, Tian Budian also disappeared after a flash, needing to relay to Ju Dan what Elder Ge had just mentioned.

After Tian Budian left, Lang Yizhan came running back in a disheveled state.

His face flush with red, he said to Lang Yiwei, "Brother, how did this cursed Old Witch suddenly appear? Now that Yisuo will definitely bad-mouth us in front of our father."

Since Yisuo’s performance had been increasingly outstanding, their father often praised him in front of others.

Now, this younger brother of his held the most favor, which filled Lang Yizhan with worry.

To this, Lang Yiwei’s eyes also flashed coldly as he calmly said, "Tian Budian just made it very clear. We’re trying to expand Wanbao Pavilion’s business out of the East Plain Northern Land, a vision for the future."

Pausing a moment, Lang Yiwei continued, "And Yisuo is doomed."

"Although he dodged disaster this time, with his foolish character, he will definitely keep siding with Sikong Jing... Did you see? The more we pushed him just now, the more he insisted on standing with Sikong Jing."

"Hmph, by then, if he survives, it’d be strange. Pressured by Overlord Commerce, our father will surely kill him."

Listening to his older brother, Lang Yizhan finally let out a sigh of relief, secretly admiring how formidable his brother was.

At first, he had even thought of competing with his brother, the very thought now scared him.

The previous few sentences not only highlighted fraternal affection but also allowed them to kill without blood on their hands while also expanding their business.

"Regardless, I’m determined to ensure Yisuo and Sikong Jing die." Lang Yizhan’s hatred surged.

Thinking back to when he was miserably tormented by the duo in the Long Night Empire made Lang Yizhan explode with rage.

Thinking that Yisuo, this naive and worthless fool, had earned their father’s trust and even managed the business of both Long Night and War Soul Empires infuriated him to the utmost, as those should have been his.

Touching his burning face, if not for Sikong Jing and Yisuo, he wouldn’t have been slapped.

Every one of them is a damned scoundrel!

Although Elder Ge just mentioned that the situation concerning Hua Lidian and Sikong Jing might turn around, the likelihood of a turnaround was very small.

...

The Changhua officially entered Zhanwu City, and Yisuo asked with a grave expression, "Junior Brother Sikong, that was extremely dangerous just now."

Sikong Jing nodded and coolly replied to Yisuo, "It’s a pity it also involved Senior Brother Lang. When we get back to Wanbao Pavilion, just listen to your father and don’t meddle in my affairs anymore."
