Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Ba Lie’s Confidence, Return of the Wastrel

At the same time Fu Wang was heading to Teng Mansion, at Batian Cold Mansion!

At this moment, an old man and a middle-aged man were sitting opposite each other in the hall.

The old man slowly spoke: ”Ba Lie, rest assured, I will not vote for the Soul Dominator’s Heir tomorrow.”

The middle-aged man was Ba Lie Venerable, while the old man was Leng Sha’s grandfather: Leng Chan!

These days, Ba Lie Venerable visited his home three times, offering various benefits and promises, along with analyses on the Soul Dominator’s Heir and the Qianwang Holy Tower, finally convincing Leng Chan on the eve of the vote.

Upon hearing this, Ba Lie Venerable stood up smiling...

”Thank you, Leng Dijue, for understanding. The Soul Dominator’s Heir is actually a non-combatant waste, no need to offend the powerful Qianwang Holy Tower for him, and everything is for the benefit of Overlord Commerce.”

Ba Lie Venerable said impeccably, always speaking from the perspective of Batian’s interests while persuading Leng Chan.

At the same time, constantly belittling Sikong Jing and Venerable Ba Lian...

He knew Leng Chan valued the interests of Overlord Commerce and esteemed various Batian geniuses, as long as he made Leng Chan think Sikong Jing was rubbish and Venerable Ba Lian was chaotic, it was a success.

Leng Chan nodded, indicating that he understood these principles.

Eventually, Ba Lie Venerable bid farewell and boarded their Divine Shuttle Ship...

Gong Ying was already waiting on the Divine Shuttle Ship, quickly stepping forward to ask: ”Brother, did you settle Leng Chan?”

”Settled...”

”That old guy initially wanted to support Sikong the little beast after seeing three votes from the Great Heaven Decision. If Dongwu Tianjue hadn’t reacted quickly, there might not have been a second vote.”

”As long as he understands that the Great Heaven Decision doesn’t pay much attention to Sikong the little beast, it’s easy to settle.”

Ba Lie Venerable spoke with a smile, and Gong Ying also smiled, completely at ease.

In just a moment, there was even more reassurance, as Ba Lie Venerable received a communication.

That is to say, Fu Wang also completely confirmed that he wouldn’t support Sikong Jing in the vote tomorrow.

In response, Ba Lie Venerable smiled sinisterly: ”Along with Xin Dijue, the four Earth Decision Makers who previously didn’t raise their hands are already certain not to vote for Sikong the little beast. We’re completely undefeated.”

Earth Decision Maker Old Xin, having the best relationship with Nanfeng Tianjue, made Ba Lie Venerable completely trusting.

As for the fourth Earth Decision Maker who didn’t raise his hand, Ba Lie Venerable was even more reassured, as that Earth Decision Maker was closest to their deceased mentor, so to Ba Lie Venerable, settling Leng Chan and Fu Wang was enough.

Especially Leng Chan, as he was the most hesitant one.

”To avoid trouble, we’ll visit those Earth Decision Makers supporting Sikong the little beast and then visit Xi Tu to ensure that Overlord Commerce won’t protect Sikong the little beast.”

Then, Ba Lie Venerable spoke again: ”Only by letting Sikong the little beast face the Qianwang Holy Tower alone can we let Venerable Ba Lian die.”

He still didn’t pay much attention to Sikong Jing, only concerned about Venerable Ba Lian.

Only if Sikong Jing doesn’t get protection from Overlord Commerce and faces the Qianwang Holy Tower alone...

By then, even if Venerable Ba Lian is suppressed by the Great Heaven Decision, she can be secretly released, and she will go insane to seek revenge on the Qianwang Holy Tower afterward... By then, the Ba Lian Lineage will be completely ruined.

Thus, Ba Lie Venerable took Gong Ying to visit various places.

”By the way, brother, why haven’t Venerable Ba Lian and Sikong the little beast taken any action?”

Gong Ying suddenly thought of this question. Logically, Venerable Ba Lian should be visiting Earth Decision Makers to secure votes, but these days, Venerable Ba Lian and Sikong Jing remained at Teng Mansion without leaving.

To this, Ba Lie Venerable frowned: ”That’s indeed strange, but I heard Venerable Ba Lian is sad and desperate for not getting the whereabouts of the Overlord Soul from Sikong Jing, so she’s been hiding in the Teng Mansion’s small secret realm.”

”As for Sikong the little beast, based on his nature, he likely won’t grovel.”

”In any case, we just need to ensure our votes are sufficient...”

Hearing this, Gong Ying was completely at ease and didn’t ask further.

Unbeknownst to them, when they left Leng Mansion, a figure with frost on the pen slowly walked into the mansion.

He was Leng Sha, cultivating at Teng Mansion, returning home on the eve of the vote after bidding farewell to his mentor Sikong Jing.

...

Teng Mansion...

Fu Wang was naturally not arriving so quickly.

At this moment, Bai Xiaojin found Sikong Jing and bid farewell: ”Mentor, my father sent a message insisting I return home, so I’ll head back now.”

She too had been engrossed in cultivation at Teng Mansion for eight days, feeling a bit reluctant to be summoned back.

After receiving three urgent messages, she reluctantly returned.

Watching Bai Xiaojin leave, Sikong Jing chuckled softly: ”Fu Wang should be arriving soon.”

Sikong Jing knew very well that the poison within Fu Wang would erupt tonight, and he’d surely come to find him.

At this moment, Duanmu Chun approached...

”Ajing, Venerable Ba Lian suddenly returned to the Bai Family without a word and wants us both to go. She’s holding a small banquet to introduce you to all members of the Bai Family and the Ba Lian Lineage.”

Sikong Jing was momentarily stunned by the words, then quietly sighed in relief. It seemed Venerable Ba Lian finally gained composure.

For days, she stayed in the Teng Mansion’s small secret realm, unseen, worrying both Duanmu Chun and Sikong Jing. Fortunately, Bai Hu Venerable was accompanying her, otherwise, they’d have to find a way into the secret realm.

As Sikong Jing was the Soul Dominator’s Heir, Venerable Ba Lian had to formally introduce him to all her followers.

”So Bai Xiaojin was urgently summoned home because of this. Had I known, we’d have brought her along.”

Sikong Jing suddenly thought of this and chuckled.

He didn’t refuse and followed Duanmu Chun to board the Divine Shuttle Ship heading to the Bai Residence.

Regarding Fu Wang’s matter, Sikong Jing instructed Yao Yulou before leaving that if Fu Wang came, to stall him, as the poison in Fu Wang wouldn’t easily cause death, just pain.

...

Back at Leng Mansion, Leng Chan gathered the core members of the family to announce that he wouldn’t vote for the Soul Dominator’s Heir.

Also, he explained the benefits and drawbacks involved, naturally aligning with Ba Lie Venerable’s words that Sikong Jing is a non-combatant not worth supporting, and the Great Heaven Decision’s initial three votes were merely to appease Venerable Ba Lian.

The Leng Family core members naturally nodded in support.

Just then, Leng Chan noticed his eldest son hesitating and said: ”Leng Su, speak your mind...”

Leng Su spoke softly: ”Father, Sha is missing.”

”He hasn’t returned home for nine days. I only discovered it an hour ago and haven’t received any response from him.”

Despite being Leng Sha’s father, only realizing his son was missing for nine days showed how insignificant Leng Sha was in the family, showing his low status within the Leng Family.

If he hadn’t asked the servants in the mansion, Leng Su wouldn’t have known his son hadn’t been seen at Leng Mansion for nine days.
