Chapter 51: Why did he turn his head to look at someone?

The voice of Zuo Su spread throughout the entire Divine Path Sect, and every disciple who was still conscious heard his voice.

After a brief silence, intense cheers erupted from every main peak!

"Good!!!"

"Hail to the Left Peak Master!"

"As expected of Senior Brother Zuo, now we have no more worries!"

"Kill! Once we kill all these thieves, it will be over!"

……

Zuo Su's announcement acted as a stimulant for the weary spirits of the Divine Path Sect disciples, sparking astonishing vitality.

In an instant, morale soared, forcing the Disha Sect disciples, who were already at a disadvantage, into a steady retreat.

Some even began to wipe out the invaders without needing support from other disciples.

At this point, the crisis of the Divine Path Sect could be considered basically resolved.

Yet, just as the entire Divine Path Sect was uplifted, one person's mood plummeted into the depths.

"The leader of the thieves has been executed? Are you kidding me!"

The current Sect Master of the Disha Sect, Shen Shi, remained trapped in the temple of Sikong Yu, unable to advance or retreat.

He could not break through the barrier, but he dared not take another step into the temple.

Regarding Zuo Su's announcement, he felt it was incomparably absurd.

"If the leader is dead, then who am I?"

Damn it!

Who exactly died?

Shener, or Shenjiu?

It couldn't be anyone else, could it?

Our strength is clearly so much greater than the Divine Path Sect's; how could we possibly fail!

No, the intelligence provided by the Beigan Dynasty couldn't be wrong...

The Beiganhuangdi could not have lied to me!

But regardless of the situation outside, all Shen Shi could do for now was to use his full ability to create obstacles for the other party.

Having finally adjusted his emotions, Shen Shi simply sat down cross-legged and let out a cold snort:

"You can just linger on in this way!"

"You may have trapped me here, but now, no outsider can get in either; no one can help you!"

The stone statue remained silent, not moving a single bit.

……

……

Meanwhile, Ren Yidao, who was regulating his breath in the arms of Senior Sister, opened his eyes.

He heard a sound transmission.

That person said:

【I am Sikong Yu.】

Ren Yidao's expression changed; he flipped over and sat up, his spirit highly tense.

"..."

After a moment of silence, he wore a serious expression and spoke slowly.

He said:

"Who?"

Who are you?

Sikong Yu: 【... Hmm?】

Ren Yidao: "Huh?"

The scene was somewhat awkward for a moment; neither of them spoke again.

One felt awkward because they had stated their name only for the other not to recognize it, while the other kept pondering who this name belonged to.

Scratching his head, Ren Yidao's conclusion was: I really don't know.

Um, who is Sikong Yu?

Never heard of him!

Should I know?

Hmm, judging by his tone, it seems I should know.

Finally, after a moment of silence, the empty-nest elder chose to bow his head to the ignorant child.

【I am the current Sect Leader of the Divine Path Sect, Sikong Yu... your Senior Uncle.】

Fearing that Ren Yidao might not understand the meaning of Sect Leader, Sikong Yu added an easier-to-understand title afterward.

Ren Yidao:!!!

"Uh, I don't know what Senior Uncle Sect Leader needs from me?"

He had long wanted to find an opportunity to contact the Sect Leader, but had suffered from never having the chance.

If he could have contacted Sikong Yu earlier, many plans would not have been shelved.

And now, regardless of the reason he had made contact, Ren Yidao would absolutely not let this opportunity slip away.

The situation was critical, so Sikong Yu skipped the pleasantries directly.

【The leader of the invaders has been controlled by me, but I cannot kill him.】

"Is there anything I can help you with, Disciple? Do you need me to notify a few Senior Uncles?"

【No need for such trouble.】

Sikong Yu said:

【Lend me your body for a moment.】

Ren Yidao:?

Watching Jing Yueqin seem to calm down completely, Shi Anqi brought Shi Xue over tentatively.

Carefully keeping as far away from Jing Yueqin as possible, Shi Anqi asked in a low voice:

"Brother Ren, how is your situation?"

It really wasn't that he was a coward.

Before today, Shi Anqi had never feared anything in his life, at most worrying that his Evil Qi might affect his relatives in the future.

But after today, there were two more taboos in Shi Anqi's heart.

He was now not only afraid of Ren Yidao's Merit Party, but even more afraid of his Senior Sister going berserk.

Just now, while bringing Ren Yidao through Jing Yueqin's defensive line, Shi Anqi had truly been beaten black and blue time after time.

If he hadn't been agile and nimble enough, and since Jing Yueqin was fighting purely on instinct at the time, he feared he wouldn't have lived to see tomorrow's sun.

Fortunately, this time, Ren Yidao did not pretend not to hear like before and reacted immediately.

However, before Shi Anqi could speak, he sensed something was wrong.

He saw Ren Yidao stand up quietly, and then his neck began to twist bit by bit, turning to a strange angle...

Hm?

Why was he twisting his head like that to look at people?

Did he have a stiff neck? Or was there some special ritual?

Looking him up and down, Ren Yidao said indifferently:

"Are you the current leader of the Beigan dark department? Where is your General Sun? Has he already become a guest retainer?"

General Sun? Which Sun... Oh!

With a serious expression, Shi Anqi replied respectfully:

"After reaching the first rank, Lord Sun insisted on becoming a guest retainer, and is now cultivating more newcomers for the Imperial Court."

"Oh, is that so? To think he can actually retire in peace."

Nodding slightly, Ren Yidao didn't care, and instead said:

"Help me pass a message to Li Long; tell him that the Divine Path Sect has noted this matter."

"We will surely repay it in the future."

Having said that, he vanished from the spot, leaving Shi Anqi standing there with a grave expression.

Looking at her second uncle with some worry, Shi Xue asked:

"Second Uncle, are you alright?"

To be honest, although she was a bit worried, she was excited through and through.

When had Shi Xue ever seen such a scene before? This whole night was simply too spectacular.

Even novels and scripts wouldn't dare write it like this!

As a County Princess, wasn't the reason she wanted to be a Constable to experience this kind of extraordinary life?

She had been having a blast all night long.

Not noticing that his niece's concern for him was only superficial, Shi Anqi shook his head:

"... I'm fine, just thinking about some things."

Li Long was the personal name of the current Beiganbixia, and very few people in the world knew this name.

The previous Brother Ren could absolutely not have known this name.

Thus, Shi Anqi was naturally able to realize who exactly the person speaking to him just now was.

An Asking Dao powerhouse, the Sect Leader of the Divine Path Sect, Sikong Yu.

"..."

Whether this future repayment was for a favor or a grudge, it didn't have much to do with him, a dark department leader.

It's just...

"Why did he tilt his face when he was talking?"

Still couldn't figure it out!

Thump, thump.

Hm?

Shen Shi woke from holding his breath, looking at a delicate and pretty youth with his head tilted, knocking on the transparent barrier.

Upon discovering that Shen Shi had woken up, the youth flashed a brilliant smile at him.

He said:

"Hello, want to buy a cheat?"
