Berserk God of War-Chapter 1666: Great Heaven Decision—Regret Has Set In
The reason for not keeping Sikong Jing by his side for cultivation was precisely Beicang’s suggestion.
Everyone knew that Sikong Jing was not a Sacred Body, and everyone thought if there was an issue, they would just push Sikong Jing out and eliminate him. Keeping him by the side would make it too obvious, and would certainly cause concern about future issues.
As long as there was worry among the people, various sinister thoughts would arise and affect unity.
At the same time, the matter of Sikong Jing being able to extend and repair the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment must also remain the utmost secret.
And this secret, for the time being, could only be known by him and Beicang. However, if he stayed by the side, it would definitely arouse others’ suspicions.
If this secret was discovered, Sikong Jing would become the second Xiu Hanzi, and everyone would want to get their hands on him.
Beicang slightly nodded and said, "Yes, let everyone think we are protecting Sikong Jing just for the sake of face, just because we are displeased with Qianwang Holy Tower’s oppression...this way, Sikong Jing can be safer."
When Murong Jianyun issued the words that Sikong Jing was his greatest reverse scale, he almost openly declared that he wanted to make Sikong Jing his direct disciple or even his first disciple.
Fortunately, Beicang stopped him immediately.
And when Murong Jianyun calmed down, he of course immediately understood the hazardousness within.
He muttered to himself, "From now on, my Holy Martial Stage is the trump card, the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map may become our second trump card, and Sikong Jing might even be the third trump card in the future..."
"What exactly should I arrange for him? Judger? Ba Jiang?"
Murong Jianyun was a bit troubled by this arrangement, but since declaring him a core genius, he must be given some tasks.
The most important thing is to find ways to help him grow quickly.
To this, Beicang gently laughed and said, "I think we can have a discussion with Sikong Jing, perhaps he has his own ideas?"
Hearing this, Murong Jianyun twitched his mouth.
It sounded as if he, the Great Heavenly Decision Maker, must listen to the little guy, but in the end, he still nodded and said, "Let’s wait a few days first, let him play around in Overlord City for a few days."
Sikong Jing and others have faced constant danger all the way here, indeed, they need some rest...
...
And just as Murong Jianyun and Beicang were speaking...
Nanfeng and Ba Lie Venerable, who had just left the Heavenly Decision Hall, gathered together again.
Among them, Ba Lie Venerable said in a low voice, "Clearly, after the Great Heavenly Decision Maker’s impulsiveness, there’s no turning back."
"Previously, he was fired up by Sikong the little beast, thinking if he didn’t protect him, it would be a disgrace to all the Earth Decision Makers."
"Now, he regrets it."
Regarding the previous matter of Sikong Jing suddenly stating in the Heavenly Decision Hall his willingness to face the Qianwang’s accusations regardless of the vote, Ba Lie Venerable and Nanfeng, of course, fully understood, considering it a method for Sikong Jing to win people’s hearts.
Especially, to win over Murong Jianyun’s heart.
At the time, Murong Jianyun and many Earth Decision Makers were swayed by Sikong Jing, standing up for him during the Demon’s accusations.
In Ba Lie Venerable’s opinion, after calming down, the Great Heavenly Decision Maker surely regretted it, otherwise, how could he not keep Sikong Jing by his side? Especially, saying he would send him out on missions...
Heh, this is Murong Jianyun preparing to disregard him, a prelude and warning indeed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Of course, Venerable Ba Lian reaching top-level Emperor status is also crucial, which Murong Jianyun can’t ignore," Nanfeng added. He had no idea Murong Jianyun was a Holy Martial Stage expert, so the threat posed by the top-level Emperor Ba Lian was immense.
"Damn it, how did that old witch Ba Lian suddenly progress so fast?" Gong Ying cursed angrily.
Everything was because of Venerable Ba Lian’s terror, leading to the current situation extremely unfavorable for Ba Lie Lineage.
"Senior brother, what should we do next? I’m afraid we can’t stay in Overlord City much longer."
Gong Ying asked worriedly again. Previously, their Ba Lie Lineage had seized the Great Dominator Technique position of East Dominator and had been crazily suppressing Ba Lian Lineage. Now that the latter was so powerful, they would definitely retaliate.
Taking a deep breath, Ba Lie Venerable replied flatly, "Now, we must endure!"
"Ba Lian and Sikong the little beast, they’ve already lost absolute support from the Great Heavenly Decision Maker. They’re just a castle in the air... Once it’s proven that Sikong the little beast isn’t some damn Sacred Body, their lineage will all have to die."
Listening to Ba Lie Venerable’s words, Nanfeng and Gong Ying kept nodding, knowing that patience and waiting were all that was left.
...
Yu Liman, Leng Chan, and Old Xin were also gathered together at this moment, holding a replica of the Hundred-man Soldier Slaughter Map in their hands, remaining silent until Leng Chan finally spoke, "The Great Heavenly Decision Maker shows signs of regret, what should we do?"
Old Xin naturally didn’t know what to do, so he looked towards Yu Liman.
The latter lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It’s not necessarily regret, perhaps it’s just a way to protect the Soul Dominator’s Heir, we don’t need to worry too much, just continue supporting the Soul Dominator’s Heir."
"As for the future, the Soul Dominator’s Heir might still bring us surprises..."
"The most crucial thing now is that the Overlord Commerce needs to unite, we Earth Decision Makers and Venerables must unite."
"Even without the matter of the Soul Dominator’s Heir, Qianwang Holy Tower would sooner or later target us. The two pieces of Qianyuan Soldier Fragment are what they covet, this is a life-and-death struggle."
With Yu Liman’s hoarse words, Leng Chan and Old Xin nodded heavily, no longer speaking as they studied the Hundred-man Soldier Slaughter Map.
...
At night, Xianwu Town outside the city was silent.
In Xianwu Manor, Pei Yuxian received a message and, after reading it, said, "Nanfeng says Murong Jianyun is in over his head; once we find evidence of the Non-Saint Body, the old man should compromise with us."
Pei Yushan nodded but secretly frowned and said, "Yao Yulou, why hasn’t he arrived yet?"
The night grew deeper, yet Yao Yulou still hadn’t arrived, leaving Pei Yushan somewhat displeased...
But Pei Yuxian remained calm and said, "Why hurry? Since Murong Jianyun already regrets it, we don’t need to rush. Perhaps in a few days, we can return to the Inner City of Overlord, and have Murong Jianyun personally behead the Soul Dominator’s Heir."
As long as Yao Yulou obtained evidence for them, they could forcefully return to Overlord City.
Now that Yao Yulou had proved trustworthy, his being held up was normal, as he still had to host a victory banquet.
However, just as Pei Yuxian was fantasizing about obtaining conclusive evidence in a couple of days, suddenly, an elderly voice echoed heavily within Xianwu Manor, "You probably won’t have the chance..."
The voice was startlingly abrupt, causing the siblings Pei Yuxian to bristle in shock, exclaiming simultaneously, "Who?"
The next moment, buzz!
A bizarre and powerful transparent light shield instantly enveloped the entire Xianwu Manor.
Immediately, a terrifying Emperor’s Artifact aura descended from the sky, suppressing the entire Xianwu Manor. Then the elderly voice sounded again, "Pei Kuang’s daughter, Pei Kuang’s son, tonight I’ll send you to the afterlife."
Rumble...
As the elderly voice fell, Pei Yuxian and her brother shot out of the hall and looked towards the gate of Xianwu Manor.
Then they saw an old man sitting in a complicated mechanical wheelchair, pushed by a pair of young teens entering. This sight made the siblings stare in shock, both exclaiming, "Su Old Demon Remnants, Master Wuji."
The person coming was indeed Master Wuji, and the transparent light shield was his Emperor’s Array, with the young teens behind him being Little Liang and Xiao Jia.
Hearing this, Master Wuji raised his head and laughed...
"Heh heh, we knew all along there’s no Demon Dream Witch."
"We knew all along the Soul Dominator’s Heir was on his way to Overlord City, and we also knew that Qianwang Holy Tower would send the Ten Emperors and Hundred Venerables to question, to intimidate Overlord Commerce."
"When you sent people to the east to search for us, we had long set this trap here waiting for you."
Master Wuji made his entrance straightforwardly, filled with killing intent.
