All the doubts dissipated like smoke after Sikong Jing's powerful strike!
At the same time, even the likes of Zhang Duiyi, Weng Ting, and other combat body geniuses were utterly shocked, unable to utter a word.
Weng Ting's understanding of Sikong Jing's strength remained at the level before the Overlord Soul Secret Institute, where it was all about countering her combat body movement technique.
Even though Weng Ting knew that Sikong Jing was much stronger now than back then, she still believed his main combat skill relied on movement technique.
In slaying the four Shiyu Assassins, Weng Ting hadn't witnessed it, so she thought it was due to his uncanny movement technique as well.
When the crossbow arrow pierced Old Ling, Weng Ting saw it very clearly...
It indeed relied on movement technique; she never expected Sikong Jing's spear to be so terrifyingly domineering. That strike, akin to the Iron Winged Divine Vulture, was simply fierce to the extreme.
The terrifying ruthlessness was like a real fierce beast's descent.
Zhang Duiyi and his sister didn't understand Sikong Jing well, only knowing he had triumphed over Wan Tonghui with Spirit and Martial Fusion, and heard continuous praises from Duanmu Chun, but now they truly witnessed Sikong Jing's power.
"So strong, is he really not a combat body?" Zhang Duiyin couldn't hold back anymore, her voice slightly hoarse.
However, Zhang Duiyi didn't answer, still staring fixedly at Sikong Jing's back, with the terrifying image of that Iron Wing strike lingering in his mind. He believed he could withstand it, but definitely not easily.
"Could I have been wrong?"
Hua Meixi murmured to herself, recalling her father, Hua Lidian's, various praises for Sikong Jing. She had seen him in action, more than once, and every time he was unexpectedly strong.
This time, he seemed to truly surpass her. If she hadn't fused with Spirit and Martial ahead of time, she would no longer be his match.
"Wow..."
As the four geniuses were lost in thought, Weng Wu in Weng Yindu's arms spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then directly fainted, seeming unable to face all this.
The expression of Great Elder Weng Yindu was terribly ashen, but even now he could not speak.
Sikong Jing shattered all the doubts with a single strike, broke their entrenched notions against non-combatants in their hearts, and completely dispelled their doubts about Weng Ting's status in the East Dominator Branch.
Wasn't it just right for a strong Reverse Soul Realm to be invited?
Finally, when the collective breathing in the venue grew louder, an old voice resonated heavily in the venue: "Everyone listen, apologize to the Sikong Genius, apologize for our recent rudeness."
It was naturally Family Head Weng Yinke speaking.
With a somewhat agitated expression, he strode forward, then bowed heavily to Sikong Jing: "Sikong Genius, it was entirely our fault just now, please be magnanimous and forgive us."
His voice was extremely humble, completely overwhelmed by Sikong Jing.
Meanwhile, one by one, Weng Family members emerged, each apologizing to Sikong Jing.
Of course, Weng Yindu, even with his mouth shut, could never apologize, and instead, clutching Weng Wu, hid within the crowd without any action.
Faced with the scene before him, Sikong Jing merely smiled and said: "Weng Family Master, I am no genius, just call me Sikong Jing. As for what happened just now, I don't really care."
"It's normal for you to have doubts, but shouldn't you trust Senior Sister Weng? That seems a bit odd, right?"
It was perfectly normal for them to question a Reverse Soul Realm, even if a fifth-grade War Body in Reverse Soul Realm were invited, the Weng Family people would have suspicions, but Weng Ting was their strongest genius.
Such lack of trust was truly hurtful to Weng Ting.
Upon hearing this, Weng Yinke's expression stiffened, hastily looking towards Weng Ting and saying: "Ting'er, this was grandpa's fault."
Sikong Jing's words awakened him as if from a dream, feeling deeply remorseful towards his granddaughter.
Taking a deep breath, Weng Ting slowly walked to Sikong Jing's side and said: "Grandpa, when I left the family, I was still young and unaware that our family had all sorts of people with all sorts of thoughts, but now I fully understand."
Saying that, she looked towards Weng Yindu hidden in the crowd and continued: "This was not grandpa's fault, but some people's fault."
Upon hearing this, Weng Yinke, despite being a Martial Fool, understood the reasoning, having been led by the Great Elder just now.
And among the Weng Family people, their eyes were flickering.
Of course, they knew Weng Yindu had always been dissatisfied with the family head, and Weng Wu had always been unhappy with Weng Ting.
Some even knew Weng Yindu's recent actions were precisely to let Weng Wu replace Weng Ting to bring in external aid to elevate status in the Weng Family...
Unexpectedly, Weng Ting was even stronger than imagined.
A Reverse Soul Realm originally seemed like an opportunity for them, but it turned out to be a huge pit.
At this moment, an elder stepped out and said: "Ting'er, these matters should be discussed later. The East Dominator Geniuses must be tired from their journey, so please invite them to the house to rest first."
The meaning was clear: The internal affairs of the Weng Family should be settled later to avoid making a laughingstock of themselves in front of outsiders.
However, Weng Ting smiled and looked at the elder, saying: "Second Elder, this matter really should be said here... I promised Junior Brother Sikong to ensure he wouldn't be chased around like a dog during the Soul Snatching battle."
"Therefore, some mad dogs should absolutely not participate in the Soul Snatching battle."
Upon hearing these words, the crowd gasped in astonishment.
Simultaneously, Weng Yindu, hidden within the crowd, couldn't help but blush and roar, "Weng Ting, don't go too far."
For she had essentially referred to him, the Great Elder, as a dog, and implied that Weng Wu wouldn't be allowed to participate in the Soul Snatching battle!
Simply outrageous.
But Weng Ting coldly laughed as she looked over: "Oh, so the Great Elder is indeed here, I thought you could teleport?"
She mercilessly ridiculed Weng Yindu for his lack of courage to assume responsibility or admit his mistakes.
After that, Weng Ting turned to Weng Yinke and said: "Grandpa, because of the old dog Old Ling's matter, I promised that if Junior Brother Sikong was bit by dogs during the Soul Snatching battle, I would also withdraw, please decide."
Hearing this, Weng Yinke opened his mouth, turning slowly to look at Weng Yindu, then at Old Ling lying on the ground like a dead dog.
At this moment, Weng Ting added: "Grandpa, I'll first lead the guests to rest."
Having said that, she turned to Sikong Jing and said: "Junior Brother Sikong, please, and Senior Brother Zhang, please..."
Sikong Jing, Zhang Duiyi, and others nodded with smiles, then the four followed Weng Ting past the Weng Family crowd.
A dozen steps later, a blood-curdling scream was heard behind them, followed by dead silence.
Old Ling was dead, his neck pierced by a sword wielded by Weng Yinke.
Subsequently, Weng Yinke declared: "Now I announce, Weng Wu and those from the Great Elder's line are forbidden from participating in the Soul Snatching battle."
With this, Weng Yindu's face turned even redder, and then, led by the Second Elder, the crowd quickly distanced themselves from him. They understood clearly that, for the Soul Snatching battle, the Weng Family had to provide the East Dominator Geniuses with a solid explanation.
The Soul Snatching battle wasn't just Weng Ting and a few outside supports who would participate.
There were still the youth of the Weng Family, yet now the younger generation from the Great Elder's line was excluded, and even those who were on good terms with the Great Elder dared not make a sound...
After all, the East Dominator Geniuses were their trump cards, the deciding factor between victory and defeat.
