At this moment, Gongyang Ren finally understood, and his body was brimming with a killing aura!
Sikong Jing had slain the real Soul Eater Leader and taken his place as the Soul Eater, starting to lay out his plans with his own granddaughter, Gongyang Ying. His true purpose was only one, to ambush Mo Ci within the Imperial Advisor Mansion.
The reason he had not laid a hand on Ying'er, the reason he controlled the mountain bandits to not kill the common people, was not because of his deep love, nor was it because he wanted to wash the mountain bandits' reputation clean again.
It was because... he was not the truly evil-filled Soul Eater Leader.
The reason he was not the extraordinary second realm as rumored, but only in the Daoist Martial Realm and with terrifying combat strength, was precisely because he was Sikong Jing.
The reason he did not become a personal guard was not out of fear of being misunderstood, but to set up the environment for the assassination of Mo Ci.
