Just like that, Jin Liwu explained everything bit by bit.
As for the Yang Family elder's covert sword strike at the end and Yao Yulou's sudden appearance, he naturally had no idea how to explain them.
Once Jin Liwu had finished, Duanmu Chun stared at Sikong Jing in utter shock.
This kid had suddenly reached the Fifth Reverse Soul Realm. Then, at that realm, he had instantly killed the Dream Snatcher Captain before engaging Wan Tonghui—the Eastern Hegemon's strongest captain—in a life-or-death battle.
And damn it, he had defeated him head-on.
At least for now, Sikong Jing had won. One of Wan Tonghui's hands was already a bloody mess of bone and flesh; there was no way he could win if they kept fighting.
Gulp...
Thinking of this, Duanmu Chun could not help swallowing hard. Wan Tonghui possessed a fifth-grade battle body and stood at the peak of the Battle Martial Realm, while Sikong Jing had nothing—at most, he had opened his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness ahead of time.
How could he possibly have beaten him? And how had he beaten him?
Just then, Yao Yulou interrupted Duanmu Chun's thoughts. "Grand Tyrant Judge, no matter how arrogantly invincible Little Brother Sikong may seem, Wan Tonghui agreed to this life-or-death battle himself. The Yang Family elders have no reason whatsoever to interfere."
The moment those words fell, the expressions of everyone in the Yang Family changed, especially those who still did not know the truth.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with Yao Yulou's words.
Yet someone from the Yang Family still stepped forward and said heavily, "It's their betrothal banquet, and he comes here for a life-or-death battle. What kind of behavior is that?"
That was indeed a valid reason. It was rather too disrespectful.
But Yao Yulou merely sneered.
