Berserk God of War-Chapter 1592: Ba Lie Requests an Audience, Playing the Victim
Sikong Jing’s words immediately made Nanfeng stand up abruptly: "How dare you..."
But this time, before Xi Tu and Beicang could stop him, Dongwu irritably cut in: "Nanfeng, if you speak again, perhaps it’s best we ask the highest Heavenly Decision Maker to handle this matter."
I’m already caught in a dilemma, and you, damn it, still want to mess around?
Nanfeng’s mouth twitched at those words, and he ultimately could only shut his mouth.
Then Dongwu looked at Sikong Jing, finally saying in a serious tone: "Fine, the truth is as you said, Gong Ying really lacked judgment, so I now decide...to restore Duanmu Chun as East Dominator Grand Dominator Decision."
He agreed, he had to agree...
The Heavenly Decision Maker cannot act without justification, otherwise, how would he gain respect?
If these matters were to spread out, he, Dongwu, would be mocked by the entire Overlord Commerce as Gong Ying’s babysitter.
Otherwise, both Xi Tu and Beicang would also seek out the highest Heavenly Decision Maker.
And given the current situation, even the highest Heavenly Decision Maker would surely restore Duanmu Chun as East Dominator Grand Dominator Decision.
In fact, with the stark contrast between Duanmu Chun and Gong Ying’s performance in Hanluan City, it’s destined that Duanmu Chun would only receive a reprimand, it’s destined that Gong Ying must be removed; otherwise, they would be ridiculed by all.
The only difference is whether the position of East Dominator Grand Dominator Decision should continue to be given to the Ba Lie Lineage.
Initially, Dongwu certainly intended to continue giving it to the Ba Lie Lineage.
That’s why he wanted to suppress Duanmu Chun’s objections, but with the appearance of Sikong Jing, he had no choice but to change his mind.
Sikong Jing proved their intelligence failures.
He very much proved that Duanmu Chun, despite being hunted by numerous factions, could turn decay into marvel.
Of course, Dongwu was aware that Duanmu Chun wasn’t that marvelous and knew it was likely all Sikong Jing’s doing, but in name, Duanmu Chun was their leader; this was an unchangeable fact.
More importantly, Sikong Jing held the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, held the land in Hanyi District, held the eighth-grade battle body.
To obtain these things, Duanmu Chun had to be reinstated as East Dominator Grand Dominator Decision.
With Dongwu’s reluctant agreement, the people at Yao Residence finally smiled.
And Duanmu Chun clenched his fists tightly, his eyes redder than ever; he looked gratefully towards Sikong Jing...
Xi Tu and Beicang exchanged glances, nodded in satisfaction.
Nanfeng and several Earth Decision Makers had darker expressions, but they also realized the situation couldn’t be changed.
At this moment, Sikong Jing cupped his fists, smiling and saying: "Dongwu Heavenly Decision, wise."
Dongwu, upon hearing this, kept his gaze fixed on Sikong Jing, his expression naturally not looking too good.
Dongwu had never been so firmly grasped by a youngster before, but he lightly exhaled and asked: "Now, do you admit you are still a member of Overlord Commerce?"
With Duanmu Chun’s matter settled, it was Sikong Jing’s turn.
He must give this youngster a taste of his place...
Sikong Jing didn’t hesitate and nodded: "I am the Soul Dominator’s Heir, so naturally I’m a member of Overlord Commerce."
Upon hearing this, some Earth Decision Makers, extremely displeased with him, felt surges of anger: damn it, why didn’t he say being the Soul Dominator’s Heir meant being an Overlord Commerce member earlier?
Now saying such dignified words, isn’t it just because he’s satisfied with the handling of Duanmu Chun?
This brat truly infuriates people.
Dongwu also slightly exhaled, relieved that Sikong Jing didn’t reply with... depends on the situation!
Since Sikong Jing fully admitted to being an Overlord Commerce member, it would be easier to handle; he could let him know the vastness of the world.
And as Dongwu was about to begin...
Suddenly, a voice from outside said: "Honorable Heavenly Decision Makers, Ba Lie requests an audience with Junior Sister Gong Ying."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes flashed with brilliance, followed by various colors; Dongwu had just made a decision, and now Ba Lie was here seeking an audience, likely causing him frustration to explode.
Everyone’s gaze returned to Dongwu; he, the Dong Tianjue, would still decide this matter.
Dongwu glanced at Sikong Jing, then nodded and said: "Come in."
His voice was neither joyful nor sorrowful...
The decision just made would sooner or later have to be notified to Ba Lie Venerable, and now that he’s here, it saves the hassle.
...
Outside, Ba Lie Venerable said: "Junior Sister, Luo Bajiang has made it very clear; the Heavenly Decision Makers and Earth Decision Makers are greatly displeased with Duanmu Chun, plus Nanfeng Tianjue reacted extremely strongly. You must seize the opportunity."
Gong Ying nodded heavily upon hearing this: "Rest assured, Senior Brother, I’m quite adept at playing the victim."
With a slight smile, Ba Lie Venerable looked at Luo Bajiang guarding the door, thanking him: "Luo Bajiang, allow me to treat you to drinks upon your return."
"Ba Lie Venerable, you’re too kind."
Luo Bajiang chuckled and then watched as Ba Lie Venerable and his Junior Sister, along with Ming Yan and Gong Yi, entered. He then smirked and said: "That Duanmu Chun, a person destined to fall from grace, wants me to help him? Ridiculous."
He hadn’t aided Duanmu Chun earlier and now clearly informed Ba Lie Venerable about the Heavenly Decision Makers’ attitudes.
Certainly believing Duanmu Chun was bound to fail, inevitably sent to a perilous place for business.
Whereas Ba Lie Venerable was entirely different, achieving great success by retrieving two Qianyuan Soldier Killing Maps from East Plain, and now, although not very old, had reached the powerful peak level of a venerable.
In the future, he surely would become a Heavenly Decision Maker!
"Venerable Ba Lian is getting on in years, but incapable of becoming a Heavenly Decision Maker; even without retirement, incomparable to Ba Lie Venerable."
Luo Bajiang secretly dreamed, his eyes full of disdain toward Venerable Ba Lian.
Suddenly...knock knock knock.
One of his subordinates ran over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Immediately, Luo Bajiang’s eyes sparkled: "There’s such a thing? Hurry and bring them in..."
The subordinate nodded promptly and left.
At that moment, Luo Bajiang chuckled again; this subordinate mentioned an older woman and a younger woman seeking an audience at Batian Outer City.
They were, in fact, people from Yao Residence brought by Duanmu Chun.
Seeing the situation wasn’t right, they intended to expose... the wrongdoings Duanmu Chun committed.
...
In the Heavenly Decision Hall, Ba Lie Venerable strode forward with Gong Ying and Ming Yan.
Then, their eyes naturally fell upon Duanmu Chun and others, showing expressions of deep resentment.
But Sikong Jing stood at the forefront among the Yao Residence Guardsmen, blocked, unnoticed by them.
As they bypassed the Yao Residence crowd, Sikong Jing was already behind them; they naturally wouldn’t turn back to look, as the small house generals of Yao Residence held no interest for them.
None of them perceived Sikong Jing inside; they believed he had been taken away.
Ba Lie Venerable deliberately led the trio to surpass the Yao Residence group by a few positions.
Then he bowed deeply towards the depths of the Heavenly Decision Hall: "Ba Lie, meet the four Heavenly Deciders and nine Earth Decision Makers."
After the Heavenly Decision Makers and Earth Decision Makers nodded slightly, Ba Lie Venerable immediately commanded his Junior Sister beside him: "Gong Ying, kneel!"
Thump...
Upon hearing this, Gong Ying immediately knelt down, and without waiting for the Heavenly Decision Makers and Earth Decision Makers to speak, proceeded to kowtow repeatedly: "Honorable Heavenly Deciders and Earth Deciders, Gong Ying is guilty, Gong Ying has committed grave sins!"
