Pei Yufeng carefully scrutinized Sikong Jing this time, then turned to the Ice King Sect Master and said, "You speak."

Although he was already quite attentive to this little Wunian servant Sikong Jing, Pei Yufeng still felt that the other was not worthy of a direct confrontation with him, so he first handed it over to the Ice King Sect Master.

From this, it was evident that Pei Yufeng regarded Sikong Jing with deep-seated contempt.

Thud...

The Ice King Sect Master took a heavy step forward upon hearing the words.

"Sikong Buwang, it's not just because you saved Qi Wuji's life."

"But because, after discovering Young Master Pei's true identity in the Ice King Round Tower, you sent the Wunian female disciple by your side to notify Qi Wuji. Am I right?"

As he said this, the Ice King Sect Master unleashed a terrifying pressure towards Sikong Jing.

In the main hall, Wen Luo's whole body tensed up, waiting for a summons, waiting for her Junior Brother Sikong to call her out, to deny having gone to the Emperor's Castle—she was to... deny it at all costs!

However, just as Wen Luo was fully prepared, Sikong Jing raised his head and resolutely said, "Yes!"

The word "yes" made Wen Luo utterly dumbfounded and left Renyou with her mouth agape.

Sikong Ling, on the other hand, showed a 'just as expected' expression; she understood her brother's character far better than the two women.

At the same time, Mieqing Venerable's eyes narrowed into a single line...

This also made the Ice King Sect Master and Pei Yufeng across from them look completely surprised. Clearly, they didn't expect Sikong Jing to admit so bluntly, but in the next moment, a terrifying murderous intent erupted in their eyes.

At this moment, they finally knew why Qi Wuji had deceived them.

It turned out that it really was this little servant of the Wunian Saint Sect who had ruined their grand plan.

Suddenly, recalling how he almost lost his life at the Emperor's Castle, the Ice King Sect Master was enraged and shouted, "You damned brat, I'll kill you."

As his voice fell, he directly launched an attack towards Sikong Jing's direction...

Renyou, Wen Luo, and Sikong Ling instantly had their hair standing on end, their expressions tense.

Yet Sikong Jing stood still, watching the terrifying attack belonging to the Ice King Sect Master with an unchanged expression.

Because he knew that Mieqing Venerable beside him would certainly make a move.

Sure enough, in the next instant... humph.

Mieqing Venerable just let out a cold snort, and the power the Ice King Sect Master had unleashed was condensed before Sikong Jing and then shattered, turning into countless ice shards...

Mieqing Venerable's terrifying power was displayed vividly at this moment.

After dealing with it, Mieqing Venerable spoke strongly, "Ice King Sect Master, right? Out of respect for Young Master Pei, I'll spare you this time. If you dare to attack my disciple next time, then... there will be no mercy!"

Her words carried a terrifying killing intent that shook the Ice King Sect Master back three steps.

In the main hall, Renyou and Wen Luo exchanged looks.

They were shocked at Mieqing Venerable's dominance; even though Sikong Genius admitted he had notified Master Wuji, wasn't he supposed to be subservient and even apologize as if he had done something wrong?

Facing the terrifying Qianwang Holy Tower, after all.

The Ice King Sect Master's face turned red at these words, roaring repeatedly, "Mieqing Venerable, are you a remnant of Su Old Demon too?"

A flash of cold light appeared in Mieqing Venerable's eyes, and her previously targeted terrifying murderous intent at the Ice King Sect Master suddenly shot skyward, coldly speaking again: "I'll give you another chance to speak, what is this Venerable?"

With those words, the entire courtyard filled with coldness...

The Ice King Sect Master's expression froze instantly, suddenly feeling as if he had stepped through the gates of hell, his whole body trembling violently.

Finally, he resisted his fear and looked at Pei Yufeng beside him; with his status, he couldn't handle Mieqing Venerable.

Pei Yufeng took a deep breath and stepped forward heavily.

"Mieqing Venerable, it was the Ice King Sect Master being impulsive..."

"But you can't entirely blame the Ice King Sect Master; your actions indeed aroused suspicion because your disciple notified Qi Wuji and ruined my plans, even saving Su Old Demon's remnants."

"I now need an explanation, an explanation from Sikong Buwang."

As Pei Yufeng spoke, Mieqing Venerable retracted her power, calming the courtyard once more.

Both sides remained in a cold confrontation.

Finally, after three breaths, Mieqing Venerable looked at Sikong Jing and said, "Buwang, tell Young Master Pei why you notified Qi Wuji?"

All eyes again fell on Sikong Jing.

Especially Wen Luo, she was bewildered... clearly, Junior Brother Sikong was meant to deny it utterly, so why did he still admit it?

"It's simple. The entire Wanbing City knows I have a good relationship with Master Wuji."

"And you, Pei Yufeng, are someone over the seventh-grade War Body, definitely not an ordinary person, so the rule of 'no entry below Emperor Martial Stage' might easily make Master Wuji offend someone he shouldn't."

"So I asked my Senior Sister Wen Luo to give a heads-up."

As Sikong Jing's words ended, Pei Yufeng's eyes widened abruptly.

He stared dead at Sikong Jing, then flatly asked, "And how did you know that I am someone over the seventh-grade War Body?"

Sikong Jing countered his gaze, shrugged, and said, "Guessed it. Saw it. Felt it."

His voice was still extremely calm, with not the slightest ripple because of Pei Yufeng's identity.

This made Mieqing Venerable beside him, her eyes gleam with brilliance...

Staring intently at Sikong Jing, Pei Yufeng asked again, "And how did you know I belonged to the Qianwang Holy Tower?"

These two questions puzzled Pei Yufeng the most. When he found out that Wen Luo entered and then left the Ice King Round Tower, he pretty much confirmed Sikong Jing had big issues, but he didn't know how the other party discovered it.

Even though Sikong Buwang knew that Qi Wuji was indeed Su Old Demon's remnant, how did he discover his identity?

For this question, Sikong Jing shrugged again.

"I don't know."

"But, isn't the place with the most eighth and ninth-grade Battle Body geniuses in the Central Plains your Qianwang Holy Tower? In the world, who else besides your Qianwang Holy Tower acts as if their eyes are above everyone, casually patting shoulders and treating everyone as subordinates?"

"And what did the Ice King Sect Master say at the time? Meeting by chance, my fortune?"

"Besides your Qianwang Holy Tower, what other force would speak such arrogant words to a disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect?"

Sikong Jing's words sharply targeted Pei Yufeng and the Ice King Sect Master, making their faces gradually become sullen.

Three breaths later, the Ice King Sect Master shouted again, "So you notified Qi Wuji and ruined Young Master Pei's plans because of this."

He nearly roared out these words...

Sikong Jing still directly admitted, "Of course, with people like you who are so self-righteous, of course, I would worry that Master Wuji might offend you. At the time, I didn't know he was Su Old Demon's remnant."

"As for ruining your plans, that's your issue."

"Why didn't you inform the Wunian Saint Sect of Master Wuji's true identity earlier? Why did you hold it so high and mighty, keeping it a secret? Do you look down on my Wunian Saint Sect?"

"Since you look down on us, then you must pay the price."
