Berserk God of War-Chapter 1713: You Are the Second

Sikong Jing’s words were resolute, causing Xiong Tingting’s gaze to freeze once more.

Taking a deep breath again, Sikong Jing stared at Xiong Tingting...

"So, as I said earlier, I’m here to provide you all with more powerful cultivation techniques and martial skills, continuously strengthening your original techniques, turning all of you into true strong warriors."

"As for everything else, things will remain as they are."

"Do not report our presence to the Qianwang Holy Tower, pretend we never appeared, and we won’t ask you to do anything against your will."

"In other words, I’m only offering you a path to strengthen, perhaps Boss Xiang can accept this now?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At this point, Sikong Jing stared deeply at Xiong Tingting...

Xiong Tingting’s previously frenzied eyes softened with Sikong Jing’s words.

She was completely moved.

Previously, when Old Fat Head encountered her, discussions were impossible; Xiong Tingting refused to listen to anything. However, Sikong Jing’s modified cultivation technique managed to break through her defenses.

At that moment, Xiong Tingting could indeed understand.

Looking at her, Sikong Jing gently spoke: "Of course, if you can help us even more..."

"But for now, I can make no promises or assurances. The worst scenario I can assure is that you and your loved ones can die together."

Sikong Jing is determined to break through the Thousand Prison Tower, even if it means facing another demonization.

But without adequate preparation, he fears he cannot guarantee the survival of those imprisoned inside, hence this assurance.

To ensure that at some point, he will definitely break through the Thousand Prison Tower.

Buzz...

With Sikong Jing’s words, Xiong Tingting’s mind kept resonating.

Now, even seeing her daughter was challenging, if possible she truly wished to die alongside her daughter, as her daughter’s imprisonment in the Thousand Prison Tower was incredibly agonizing.

Yet she couldn’t manage it, even the desire to die together was beyond her reach.

"Wah..."

Thinking of this, her tears suddenly burst forth, finally saying amidst sobs: "I promise you, I won’t tell anyone what happened today, we can discuss everything else later."

As soon as she finished speaking, clang clang clang clang...

Sikong Jing unbound all the chains tied to Xiong Tingting, causing her to collapse heavily on the ground.

Then, Sikong Jing spoke softly again: "To formally introduce myself, I am Sikong Jing, the Soul Dominator’s Heir."

"What I’m doing now is particularly to allow each Qianwang Holy Tower pawn, exploited due to their loyalty and emotions, to gain leverage in negotiations with Pei Kuang."

"I will be temporarily stationed at the Batian Branch in Willow Leaf City, you can find me if needed."

"In two days, I’ll have someone bring you the enhanced and refined cultivation techniques in the Green Jade Tube, I bid you farewell for now."

Finishing his words, Sikong Jing turned around without any pause and began to stride towards the door...

Suddenly, Xiong Tingting raised her head and asked: "Wait, how many?"

Hearing this, Sikong Jing halted his steps and slowly turned, smiling lightly: "You are only the second."

He certainly understood Xiong Tingting’s meaning, it was about how many Qianwang Tower pawns he has convinced, and aside from Yao Yulou, Xiong Tingting was currently the second, while Old Xiu was still escaping and hiding without any action.

Even though being the second might leave Xiong Tingting somewhat uncertain, Sikong Jing didn’t want to lie, and approached her sincerely.

Thinking briefly, Sikong Jing added: "Once there’s a third, fourth...I will have someone notify you."

His gaze remained sincerely...

Xiong Tingting paused a moment, then further asked: "Do you really trust me this much? Aren’t you afraid that once you leave, I’ll betray you all?"

She felt that Sikong Jing left too nonchalantly.

"Anyone coerced by Pei Kuang through the Thousand Prison Tower wouldn’t break their promises unless absolutely necessary, and your only absolute necessity is your daughter; only if your daughter suffers would you possibly betray us."

"Until then, you won’t..."

"So if I don’t want you to betray us, I must break the Thousand Prison Tower and rescue all your loved ones."

"This is the chain of mutual trust we cannot sever."

Speaking to this point, Sikong Jing waved his hand in farewell, opened the room door, and addressed the two outside: "Shall we?"

Old Fat Head and Renyou stared dazedly at Xiong Tingting collapsed inside, crying on the floor before looking back at Sikong Jing.

Old Fat Head’s face was filled with amazement, whereas Renyou’s expression showed it was a given...

Ultimately, neither hesitated to follow Sikong Jing’s command and leave Wenxiang Pavilion.

Though Old Fat Head wasn’t sure how exactly Sikong Jing accomplished it, at this moment he was completely convinced by the Young Master.

Just after Sikong Jing and company left, Xiong Tingting staggered to her feet in the room.

"Soul Dominator’s Heir, so it was truly him who killed Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan."

"Such a terrifying and miraculous young man, his strength is unimaginable and commanding respect..."

Xiong Tingting’s face similarly wore amazement, then her gaze fell upon Sikong Jing’s meridian book, as a breeze flipped through the pages, True Qi surged from Xiong Tingting.

Boom...

At this moment, she suddenly reached the top King realm, just half a step away from Venerable.

Xiong Tingting’s wounds instantly healed due to her breakthrough, her temperament changed drastically, from previously enchanting and alluring to an ethereal, sacred aura that captivated hearts.

Though nearing forty years old, she appeared extraordinarily beautiful at that moment.

"Such a powerful technique, it instantly transformed the millennia-old aura of Wenxiang Pavilion."

"And as soon as I receive the refined cultivation technique, within half a month I’m sure to enter the ranks of Venerable."

Saying this, Xiong Tingting suddenly clenched her fist, then took steps to approach the bedside.

She held an old cloth doll on the bed in her arms, saying: "Baby, mother is about to make a big gamble, there might be someone who can truly reunite us, you must wait for mother."

With those words, she hugged the doll tightly, tears streaming down her face.

...

Meanwhile, having left Wenxiang Pavilion, Old Fat Head, Renyou, and others paused in their steps.

Old Fat Head looked hesitantly at Sikong Jing, asking: "Young Master, how should we monitor Xiong Tingting?"

If Xiong Tingting sent messages to Qianwang Holy Tower, it would spell disaster for them, exposing everything.

To this, Sikong Jing smiled slightly: "Just have two people stay by Xiong Tingting’s side, telling her they’re there to monitor her."

At this statement, Old Fat Head and Renyou were equally stunned, directly informing her?

"Yes, directly informing..."

Sikong Jing nodded gently, then added: "As long as Xiong Tingting doesn’t contact Qianwang Holy Tower, she will naturally accept this open surveillance and show actions proving trustworthy."

"This way, we receive first-hand information, and if she has any hesitations, unusual behavior will naturally manifest."

Sikong Jing patiently explained, certainly he wasn’t entirely at ease, he had to ensure the safety of Old Xiu and all involved, and straightforward means were the best way to ascertain Xiong Tingting’s intentions.
