Berserk God of War-Chapter 1676: I Guess You’re at the Holy Martial Stage
Even though Murong Jianyun had some intelligence regarding Shiyu Commerce siding with the Qianwang Holy Tower, he couldn’t be completely sure, so he couldn’t help but ask Sikong Jing for confirmation.
But in his heart, he already had an answer...
Of course, this was because Sikong Jing had driven Pei Yuxian to death, forcing them to talk.
As expected, Sikong Jing replied without hesitation: "Of course, one hundred percent true, absolutely certain!"
At this moment, Murong Jianyun felt a chill all over his body.
Why was Shiyu Commerce their mortal enemy?
Because in recent years, they were constantly at odds with Overlord Commerce, and the conflict had escalated to a point of no return, with many members of Overlord Commerce dying at the hands of Shiyu Commerce.
At this time, Sikong Jing whispered again: "Everyone knows the ambitions of the Qianwang Holy Tower. Perhaps someone within Overlord Commerce believes that even if they conquer the entire Central Plains, Overlord Commerce can continue its business."
"However, Shiyu Commerce is completely controlled by them, does Overlord Commerce still have survival space in the future?"
Obviously, if Qianwang Holy Tower controls Shiyu Commerce, would they allow others to take over the business after conquering the Central Plains?
Sikong Jing continued: "In addition to wanting my head, the arrival of the Pei Yuxian siblings also had another important purpose: to at least take back a fragment of the Qianyuan Soldier Map, as instructed by Pei Kuang."
"Without my involvement, would you hand over the Great Heaven Decision or not?"
This was also intelligence obtained by Yao Yulou after interrogating the Pei Yuxian siblings.
With these words from Sikong Jing, Murong Jianyun trembled continuously, closing his eyes deeply.
If Sikong Jing had not suddenly stepped out and said to face the Qianwang Holy Tower after the vote, would Overlord Commerce have surrendered? Without at least handing over the Qianyuan fragment, the Pei Yuxian siblings would surely have issued various threats.
Including the hypocritical declaration of supporting Shiyu Commerce as a threat...
Indeed, the most hateful thing is that they control Shiyu Commerce, snatching their business and killing their people.
And now they come asking for the Qianyuan fragment, it’s a heinous crime.
"The current situation is already urgent, Overlord Commerce can no longer protect itself, can it be secure when all else falls apart? What’s needed now is to secretly and madly enhance our strength."
"Just like what the Great Heaven Decision has been doing, to unite Overlord Commerce strongly."
"At the same time, we need a strong trump card, something that makes the Qianwang Holy Tower think they can’t easily take us down, like how the Great Heaven Decision concealed its Holy Martial Stage strength... But is just one Holy Martial Stage enough?"
As the last sentence fell, Murong Jianyun suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Sikong Jing in disbelief.
In the next moment, he asked frantically: "How, how did you know?"
He was completely bewildered, as the fact about the Holy Martial Stage was only known by Beicang. Could Beicang be a defector to the Qianwang Holy Tower?
In response, Sikong Jing chuckled lightly: "Great Heaven Decision, don’t overthink it, I guessed."
Sikong Jing was telling the truth, it was just a guess... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Because the strength Murong Jianyun exhibited didn’t just seem like that of a top-level Emperor.
More importantly, he entered the Soul Dominator Secret Realm without hesitation, clearly having already guessed his identity.
If he were merely a top-level Emperor, would he dare to stepping directly into the Overlord Soul Secret Realm?
At the very least, he would hesitate...
And these guesses, Sikong Jing of course shared them openly, leaving Murong Jianyun dumbfoundedly standing there, finally smiling bitterly and saying: "It’s not just guesswork, you’re also testing me, aren’t you?"
"Sorry, Great Heaven Decision, it was indeed a test."
No matter how Sikong Jing guessed, he could never be completely sure.
So when he suddenly mentioned the words "Holy Martial Stage," it was a test, and Murong Jianyun, despite his internal turmoil, was immediately exposed by him.
Twitching his mouth, Murong Jianyun now only felt that Sikong Jing was utterly terrifying.
Damn it, who’s the Great Heaven Decision here, and who’s the one who lived all those years?
Facing Sikong Jing, Murong Jianyun felt as if all these years had been for naught, being played around like a fool.
What was even more bewildering was that Sikong Jing seemed very calm about confirming his Holy Martial Stage status. To know, this young boy was negotiating with him as a Holy Martial Stage now.
Was Sikong Jing’s heart made of iron, or did he have means to handle even a Holy Martial Stage opponent?
While Murong Jianyun’s mind was in turmoil, Sikong Jing took a deep breath and continued: "Since I could guess, could the Qianwang Holy Tower possibly not? This trump card is far from enough."
Hearing this, Murong Jianyun closed his eyes deeply for the second time, his entire body slightly trembling.
Even as a Holy Martial Stage, the pressure was immense, and he hoarsely said: "Give me some time to think."
With that, Murong Jianyun stood rigidly still...
Facing the current situation, he had to make the deepest consideration.
The situation was whether to cooperate with the Su Old Demon Remnants, not whether to support Sikong Jing anymore.
One wrong step could lead to complete ruin!
And Sikong Jing, of course, did not disturb him, instead standing patiently.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Murong Jianyun reopened his eyes and asked: "First, I want to know if your identity is exposed, and Overlord Commerce hasn’t a truly powerful trump card, what would you do?"
His voice had become profound!
The implication was: would Sikong Jing drag Overlord Commerce down with him once exposed?
"I am currently a so-called Sacred Body. If my identity is exposed, I can cease to be the Sacred Body and become the Demon instead!"
"Overlord Commerce should sever ties with me and hunt me down."
"And eventually, I will be exposed. At that time, I will indeed publicly sever ties with Overlord Commerce, for I have friends there and cannot allow them to follow me into being hunted by the world."
Sikong Jing’s words were resolute!
Meaning, once exposed, it would indeed show Overlord Commerce was deceived by him, becoming open foes.
Of course, clandestine cooperation could still continue...
Then, Sikong Jing added: "Moreover, what Overlord Commerce and I need now is time. By the time I’m truly exposed, Overlord Commerce will surely have its trump card, or should I say, already developing its own trump card."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jianyun certainly understood his meaning.
Prior to his exposure, Overlord Commerce would already possess the Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Array and parts of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Array, and it would be continuing to grow stronger.
The premise, of course, was continued cooperation, which would lead Sikong Jing to provide these to Overlord Commerce.
"Secondly, I also want to know, how much influence do you have among the Su Old Demon Remnants?"
"Your trip to Willow Leaf Saint Manor should be to bring back Su Old Demon’s son, right? If your influence isn’t significant, why should I trust you, why cooperate with you?"
At this, Murong Jianyun’s expression became incredibly serious.
This matter was extremely important. If Sikong Jing had no sway among the Su Old Demon Remnants, there would be no point in talking.
In response, Sikong Jing said calmly: "Influence? I currently call the shots."
"Hmm?" Murong Jianyun’s eyes widened suddenly, a look of shock on his face.
