As Ling Dongchuan spoke, everyone fixed their eyes on Sikong Jing.
A sinister grin slowly spread across every face...
Once you become the young family head of the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family, I refuse to believe you won't be tempted.
As long as you are tempted, we'll be safe.
Once we reach a place where we can use true qi, once we leave the Void Rift World, it will be your day of death.
"Everyone, listen up. From this moment on, Sikong Jing is the young family head of our Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family."
To make Sikong Jing fully believe him and take the bait, Ling Dongchuan announced it loudly.
After that, the First Elder, Second Elder, and the rest all voiced their support. Some even directly said to Sikong Jing, "Greetings, Young Family Head."
As they spoke, their thoughts ran wild: At your age, there's no way you can resist such temptation. Announce it now if you want—once the young family head dies, there will no longer be a young family head, won't there?
They all began to relax, all believing they had Sikong Jing firmly in the palm of their hands.

Ling Dongchuan was instantly overjoyed. "Say it. Whatever condition it is, I'll agree to it."
"The condition is that before I become the young family head, you all must stop breathing."
After Sikong Jing said that, he naturally ordered the troops to drive all the treasures forward. Ling Dongchuan and the others, still drunk on their joy, were stunned senseless.
Why?
Why wasn't Sikong Jing tempted? How could he possibly resist such a lure?
What a joke...
How could Sikong Jing possibly be unable to resist such temptation?
This did not even count as
