As the God-Devouring Demoness said this, the hairs all over her body stood slightly on end. No matter what, she was still being watched by the Burial Emperor Rules...
Her mental projection immediately shattered and vanished.
Meanwhile, Sikong Jing's true body, Su Yuexi, and the others kept turning over the God-Devouring Demoness's words in their minds.

But did any of that truly matter?
Whether she said it or not, Sikong Jing still had to fight for it. He still had to go up and face it in a decisive battle.

They could not let Sikong Jing carry any shackles.
