Sikong Jing still ignored them and replied with a smile, "Senior Sister Weng, rest assured, the assassin didn't escape."

After hearing this, Weng Ting was momentarily stunned and quickly checked the corpse. After confirming it was truly a Shiyu Killer, she asked, "You killed him?"

Her voice carried a slight tone of surprise and shock.

Sikong Jing nodded and replied, "Yes, I was lucky enough to take him down."

"Impossible!" Xiao Qibo couldn't help but scream abruptly right after Sikong Jing spoke.

But this time, no one paid him any attention, and Weng Ting continued to ask, "What about the other two assassins? Did they escape?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing shook his head again and replied, "No, one died not far ahead, and the other died at the Sea Crossing Realm's Spiritual Shadow spot. I didn't collect their corpses, only their treasure rings."

After speaking, Sikong Jing took out the four assassins' storage rings, holding them in his hand and shook them.

Weng Ting was again stunned by this, as Sikong Jing implied that he had taken down the other two assassins as well, with shock in her eyes growing ever more intense. Suddenly realizing something, she asked, "You... how come there are four assassin rings?"

Clearly, they said there were three, so why are there four storage rings?

Sikong Jing was slightly taken aback before explaining, "There is another one who died not far away after entering the Spiritual Shadow Array."

He was referring, of course, to the first assassin he interrogated.

With her mouth agape, Weng Ting dumbly asked, "All four assassins at the Spirit Movement Realm, you killed them all?"

"Yes, but Captain Hua gave tremendous assistance as well," Sikong Jing said with a hint of humility.

However, Hua Meixi stepped out and said, "I didn't help much. I'm currently on the brink of a deviation. If it weren't for Sikong Jing helping me fend off the three assassins and killing them one by one, I could have been in danger."

With the truth laid bare, Hua Meixi finally spoke the facts.

Earlier, she didn't want to reveal this because she wanted Sikong Jing to personally humiliate Xiao Qibo and his companion. Besides, Hua Meixi knew that without solid evidence, no one would believe what she said.

Instantly, the small town in front of Old Man Spirit Manor fell silent to the extreme.

A few breaths later, Xiao Qibo growled, his face twisted, "Impossible, I don't believe such a waste could kill four assassins!"

He was almost driven insane, expecting to see Sikong Jing's corpse after shutting down the Spiritual Shadow Array.

However, not only was Sikong Jing unscathed, but he claimed to have killed four assassins. Xiao Qibo simply couldn't believe it.

Having faced assassins himself, even handling just two of them was out of his ability.

How could a mere Sky Wolf Little Waste possibly take down four?

Sikong Jing tilted his head, sneered repeatedly, and retorted, "Who are you? Whether you believe it or not, that's none of my business."

Speaking, Sikong Jing gracefully descended from the small building's window and looked at Weng Ting, "Senior Sister Weng, has the stipulated three days not passed yet? Shouldn't we be departing?"

Regarding the assassination matter, Sikong Jing spoke no further; it was a trivial issue.

And since the hidden Shiyu experts hadn't appeared, it was certainly Duanmu Chun causing the stir.

Thus, the matter became even less relevant to him.

Upon hearing this, Weng Ting took another breath. Though the three days hadn't passed, it was indeed time to depart since everyone was present.

As for the assassin issue, she planned to calm down before communicating with Duanmu Chun for clarity.

However, just as she was about to nod, an elderly voice rang out again, "You are not qualified to depart. I do not believe you alone killed four assassins, and you haven't truly passed the Spiritual Shadow Array's trial."

The speaker was, of course, the steward Old Ling.

As he said, he absolutely refused to believe a Reverse Soul Realm waste could defeat four assassins, and since the Spiritual Shadow Array was shut down, Sikong Jing hadn't technically passed it.

In response, Sikong Jing slowly raised his head to glance at steward Old Ling, then turned to look at Weng Ting.

"Senior Sister Weng, you've got me confused."

"You invited me to join your family's Soul Snatching battle, yet there's always an old dog barking. Before entering the Spiritual Shadow Array, you said I wasn't qualified to be invited, and now out of nowhere, claim I didn't pass the array."

"Senior Sister Weng, I think you should be able to provide me with an explanation, right?"

Although Sikong Jing's tone still remained quite courteous, his inquiry was unmistakably clear, as this steward Old Ling's actions represented Weng Ting and the Weng Family's stance.

Boom...

However, just as Weng Ting hadn't reacted yet, Old Ling suddenly exploded with True Qi, "Little waste, how dare you call me an old dog! Let me show you what it means when the heavens are high and earth thick..."

Upon finishing, Old Ling frantically lunged at Sikong Jing, exuding the aura of the third realm of the Spirit Martial Stage, the Shadow Control Realm.

"Old Ling, stop right now." Weng Ting's face turned pale as she was about to shield Sikong Jing.

But, Old Ling ignored her...

Having been slapped by Weng Ting and dared not express anger, but he wouldn't be polite to Sikong Jing. And since Weng Ting shielded such a waste so persistently, he intended to teach him a harsh lesson...

Old Ling wanted Weng Ting to show more respect to a senior figure like himself in the family.

In an instant, Old Ling was upon Weng Ting.

Though he knew Weng Ting's combat body power very well, he took advantage of a lapse and slipped past, directly pouncing at Sikong Jing.

Weng Ting didn't expect Old Ling would persistently circumvent her.

She turned pale again, shouting repeatedly, "Old Ling, I command you to stop!"

Yet Old Ling continued to ignore her, grimly and terrifyingly growling at Sikong Jing, "Little waste, bow down to me!"

Boom...

Old Ling slammed heavily upon Sikong Jing's body... but at that moment, he froze.

At the same time, Weng Ting, who was frantically trying to rush over for rescue, also paused, and Zhang Duiyi's siblings' eyes became slightly fixed, as Sikong Jing's figure suddenly vanished, with Old Ling only striking a phantom of Sikong Jing.

Pff...

Just when everyone was bewildered, a sharp beam shot through Old Ling, a pitch-black crossbow arrow pierced through Old Ling's shoulder, pinning him fiercely against the wall.

Before anyone could react, Sikong Jing appeared seemingly out of thin air in front of Old Ling, holding a crossbow in his hand.

The crossbow bore a second arrow, precisely aimed at Old Ling's forehead, just an inch away.

The scene left everyone utterly stunned.

In the blink of an eye, Sikong Jing's series of dazzling moves had subdued Old Ling, a mighty existence of the Spirit Martial Stage's Shadow Control Realm.

Compared to Sikong Jing, he surpassed by four Great Realms.

Ignoring those around, Sikong Jing said, "The Shiyu Commerce's Spirit Martial Stage Peak killer's crossbow indeed impressive, with powerful force."

Indeed, the pitch-black crossbow in Sikong Jing's hand belonged to the two Spirit Martial Stage Peak killers he had previously encountered.

Though Old Ling wasn't a combat body expert, facing the Shadow Control Realm, Sikong Jing couldn't handle it presently, but he used the Shadow Moon Step to dodge Old Ling's attack, then attacked with the powerful crossbow from the Spirit Martial Stage Peak assassin.

Instantly, Old Ling fell prey.

Finally, Sikong Jing positioned the second arrow right at Old Ling's forehead, emanating a faint sense of killing intent.
