Chapter 572: Assassination? I'm the Eyewitness

Of course, Sikong Jing could also make a move to kill.

But without evidence, Sikong Jing would bear an unfounded charge, and one cannot simply allow Sikong Jing to kill Ji Tan and then have Ji Shengmang issue an arrest order under duress.

More importantly, Ning Jingjing was still with the Long Night Black Burning Army, and it wouldn't be difficult for Cheng Yusu to kill her.

At that moment, Sikong Jing said indifferently, "Ji Tan will not initiate a coup d'état at present, as he also does not have full confidence, and the prerequisite for his move is that Cheng Yusu has complete control over the Long Night Black Burning Army."

"And we, shall let him take control," Sikong Jing continued.

"Once the Beigong Commander recovers, once Cheng Yusu returns to the Long Night Imperial City with the Long Night Black Burning Army, and once all the rebels have emerged, that will be the time for our counterattack," he stated.
