Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Breakthrough Again, Shadow Moon Arrives

"Fortunately, it was given as a reward to Sikong Jing. If it were placed on the counter and someone picked it out and exposed it on the spot, we would be punished."

Speaking of this, Yao Yuzhi gave a bitter smile repeatedly...

To this, Hua Meixi nodded in deep agreement. The Overlord Commerce is very strict in this regard.

However, she asked with confusion, "How did Sikong Jing discover it?"

The items in the treasury are all thoroughly appraised, even the appraisers didn’t see through it. How did he spot it?

"Because of his Iron Bone Flying Vulture..."

Suddenly, Yao Yuzhi seemed to think of something and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Damn, that’s not right. When that kid discovered the inner core, the Iron Bone Flying Vulture hadn’t even entered the treasury; he just now deceived me."

Earlier Sikong Jing had said that the discovery was due to the Iron Bone Flying Vulture having the bloodline of an Iron Winged Divine Vulture.

But the Iron Bone Flying Vulture was called in only after Sikong Jing had made the discovery.

This means Sikong Jing used some other method to find it.

It was only at this moment that Yao Yuzhi realized she had just been fooled by Sikong Jing.

"This brat, damn this brat..."

Yao Yuzhi almost fainted. Ever since Sikong Jing arrived, she felt like she was being played by him from start to finish.

Breaking the Domineering Pattern Array, his exclusive skills, and now the instantaneous discovery of the Fierce Beast’s inner core... this kid could drive a person mad.

After a while, Yao Yuzhi came to her senses and took a deep breath: "Meixi, Sikong Jing is a bit mysterious."

Hua Meixi frowned and shook her head again, saying: "His background and origins are very clear. Elder Mo and the others have investigated; there’s nothing mysterious about them from beginning to end..."

Pausing for a moment, Hua Meixi squinted her eyes and continued: "If there’s anything mysterious, it’s perhaps that he received guidance from Su Old Demon."

Yao Yuzhi’s whole body trembled slightly as she nodded gently and then said: "This is speculation, the possibility is not large, so do not speak of it for now to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Because Su Old Demon’s sword array lies in Sikong Jing’s hometown, there is a possibility of receiving guidance from Su Old Demon.

But what kind of terrifying figure is Su Old Demon, and why would he guide Sikong Jing?

There’s simply no reason for it, even if he did guide him, it wouldn’t be much guidance. Su Old Demon was being hunted at that time, and it was in the Northern Mountain, not the Minglong Mountain Range...

Further, in most people’s eyes, Su Old Demon is full of Demonic Qi, extremely wicked, so why would he randomly guide anyone?

If they knew Sikong Jing was Su Old Demon’s grandson-in-law, perhaps they wouldn’t think this way.

But no matter what force, none knew Su Old Demon once hid in the Canglong Small Domain, and even hid in Sikong Jing’s home.

Subsequently, Hua Meixi asked about why Sikong Jing is not afraid of being punished by Overlord Venerable...

"More important than one corner of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map... he’s really good at pretending."

Upon hearing Yao Yuzhi’s explanation, Hua Meixi couldn’t help but smirk with ridicule, the small amount of goodwill she had built up for Sikong Jing due to his sense of responsibility in protecting his hometown was thoroughly shattered.

"Those who mingle with Hua Lidian are not good things." Hua Meixi continued to view Sikong Jing with her initial impression.

To this, Yao Yuzhi felt somewhat helpless, thought for a moment, and then refrained from saying anything more.

She clearly and completely understood the hardships Hua Meixi and her daughter had previously endured.

...

On this side, Sikong Jing returned to the Northern Courtyard of the Overlord Commerce in Minglong Village where he was staying in the East Plain Northern Land, at this time, Elder Mo and others had also returned with rewards, each with beaming smiles, full of energy.

Sikong Jing’s arrival was naturally welcomed warmly, everybody drank heartily and celebrated lavishly together.

Of course, Guo Zixia and Nu Guang were not present; they were hiding in their room refusing to come out.

Nu Guang perhaps wished to come, but thinking about his relationship with Sikong Jing, he feared that if the latter were displeased, he might just deal with him directly.

After several rounds of drinking, Sikong Jing excused himself and went back to his room.

He needed to enter a cultivation state now, for in ten days he would head to the Central Plains, and he needed to make another breakthrough during this time; no one knew what he might face upon reaching the Central Plains.

Moreover, he needed to get stronger at all times, to step onto the Willow Leaf Saint Manor and to recover Su Yuexi.

He currently had two cultivation tasks, the third Divine Dragon meridian of the Golden Divine Dragon, and the inner core of the Iron Winged Divine Vulture.

The Emperor Martial Stage inner core of the Iron Winged Divine Vulture wasn’t urgent; it could be given to the Iron Bone Flying Vulture to play with and comprehend first, at present of greater importance was the third Divine Dragon Meridian, upon completing which he could immediately break through.

Moreover, it would also allow the Ten Dragons Chaotic Sword Kill to advance further.

Simultaneously, the Six Symbols Dragon God Swordsmanship could immediately be elevated to the Spiritual-grade.

Just like that, day after day passed, Sikong Jing continually comprehending the third Divine Dragon Meridian until the eighth day, when he finally finished comprehending it entirely, and the True Qi within him lightly exploded.

He entered the Third Stage of the Golden Body...

The eight days of cultivation made Sikong Jing somewhat fatigued and bored, so he got up and walked out of the room.

Suddenly, he froze and scanned the surroundings, a slight smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth: "This little creature really doesn’t give up, huh."

Upon stepping out of his room, Sikong Jing immediately sensed a familiar aura, it was the Shadow Moon Rat that had left harsh words in the Batian Valley.

It had actually followed him to Minglong Village.

"Just in time to take this opportunity and conquer it,"

Sikong Jing muttered to himself, preparing to release the power of his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness to search for the whereabouts of the Shadow Moon Rat...

The next moment, suddenly urgent footsteps sounded.

Gongyang Ying rushed in from outside and, upon seeing Sikong Jing, called out: "Brother Jing, look at this little fellow."

While speaking, she pointed nervously to her shoulder.

Sikong Jing was then stunned.

On Gongyang Ying’s shoulder stood a small demon beast resembling a bluish-yellow mouse—it was the Shadow Moon Rat.

Only stunned momentarily, Sikong Jing’s face darkened as he asked, "Shadow Moon Rat, what do you want?"

The Shadow Moon Rat ignored him, instead looking up at the sky with an air of arrogance as if it didn’t want to pay him any attention.

At this moment, Gongyang Ying hurriedly explained: "I don’t know how it happened. I was cultivating in my room just now, and this little thing suddenly dashed in, then clung to me, refusing to let go. It won’t say anything when asked."

Sikong Jing furrowed his brows fiercely, thought for a moment, and decided to release a trace of Master of Ten Thousand Beasts’ aura to exert pressure.

He felt that the Shadow Moon Rat suddenly attaching itself to Gongyang Ying was anything but simple.

Now that he had reached the Third Stage of the Golden Body, perhaps the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts could make the Shadow Moon Rat submit, yet just as Sikong Jing prepared to release it...

Whoosh...

The next instant, the sound of a fierce wind howling arose within the North Courtyard.

Giant Flying Demon Beasts descended on the sky above the North Courtyard, their terrifying demonic power aura pressing down, these demon beasts numbered over a dozen or so, led by a presence at the Martial Battle Realm, with each having an individual wearing pale yellow battle armor on their backs.

In the lead was a woman exuding the Peak of Reverse Soul Realm’s aura, she slowly scanned the people within the courtyard and then asked coolly: "Just now, did any of you see the Shadow Moon Rat?"
