Sikong Jing stared fixedly at Cheng Yin amid the tribulation and said nothing...
He was still wondering why Cheng Yin had drawn a punishment tribulation. Sikong Jing recalled Mystic Jade Emperor's words: those mysterious powerhouses could not leave the hundred-meter radius in which they were confined.
Yet when he had appeared, those mysterious powerhouses had used Fire Rock Mountain from the Hell Array to fashion bodies for themselves and deal with him.
Then came the full release of his Mad Beast Sword Dao. The God-Devouring Demoness had suddenly appeared and found Su Yuexi. The mysterious figure who had warned him had also appeared at that time.
Then there was Cheng Yin, altered by the mysterious powerhouses, seeking to seize the Nine Heavens Emperor's method of using demons to restrain demons.
"Thorns are everywhere..."
"Was saving Cheng Yin also that so-called rule deliberately targeting me?"
A chill surged through Sikong Jing's heart as he murmured inwardly, "From the first two punishment tribulations, the so-called rules must also operate within rules themselves, so they cannot deal with me without limit."
"But they can keep applying pressure within the bounds of those rules."
"Like saving Cheng Yin—they exploited whatever rule Cheng Yin had violated, allowing Yin Spirit Evil Qi to sweep him away."
If the rules could simply strike and kill without any restrictions, Sikong Jing would have died long ago.
Everything targeting him had to operate under the rules.
Cheng Yin must have violated some rule too, giving them an excuse to pull him out and save him...
"No matter what, Cheng Yin must die immediately."
"Otherwise, with his current Nine Heavens Sword Dao, he may be able to help Yu Mang's true body break out of the Hell Array. That would be dangerous."
Yu Mang was even more terrifying than that
