Berserk God of War-Chapter 1661: Tonight, Take Their Lives

Watching the departing Pei Yuxian siblings, Nanfeng was completely bewildered.

"How am I supposed to gather evidence? Ba Lian, that old hag, is never going to let me get close to the Soul Dominator’s Heir, right?"

Nanfeng felt a splitting headache, his mood sour to the extreme, and ultimately decided to return to discuss with Ba Lie Venerable.

On the distant exquisite Small Divine Shuttle...

Pei Yushan suddenly remarked, "Seventh Sister, Nanfeng is too useless to be of any use. I think it’d be better to have Yao Yulou directly kill that little bastard, it’d be much quicker. Now, it’s probably not difficult for Yao Yulou to kill him..."

At this, a flash of cold light gleamed in Pei Yuxian’s enraged eyes.

Yao Yulou, this little pawn, was now highly trusted by Sikong Jing and others, making it obviously uncomplicated to eliminate his target.

However, after some hesitation, Pei Yuxian shook her head...

"No, we can’t let the Soul Dominator’s Heir die so easily."

"The affair in Hanluan City and the disgrace we siblings suffered today, his single life is far from enough to repay. We should have Yao Yulou collect evidence of non-Saint Body or even non-combatant status."

Then, Pei Yuxian suddenly sent a message, naturally to Yao Yulou.

Nanfeng wasn’t useful, but Yao Yulou surely was...

"Let’s go. We’ll leave Overlord City temporarily and find somewhere outside to await Yao Yulou’s arrival."

With Pei Yuxian’s words, the exquisite Small Divine Shuttle sped away from Overlord City...

What they didn’t know was, shortly after they left, a pair of teenagers slowly emerged.

They were none other than Little Liang and Xiao Jia from the Lingque Clan.

The young boy, Little Liang, calmly said, "Inform Grandpa Xiu to act. Tonight, we’ll take the lives of Pei Yuxian siblings!"

The girl, Xiao Jia, remarked with hatred, "Dare to harm Brother Sikong, kill them."

Having said that, the two vanished from their original position and slipped into the shadows, a Message Bird naturally flying from their hands.

...

Elsewhere, Sikong Jing was swept along by Murong Jianyun to a certain place within the Inner City.

Soon, the elder and the youth walked side by side. Murong Jianyun didn’t speak, and Sikong Jing naturally remained silent also.

Thus, they arrived at the entrance of Ba Yun Secret Realm, where Murong Jianyun finally paused.

He finally turned to look at Sikong Jing, with a bitter smile on his face...

"My young friend, until now I can only remember your surname is Sikong; I often forget your name. How am I supposed to truly turn you into a Saint Body and face the Saint Body test from Qianwang Holy Tower?"

Although Murong Jianyun appeared calm, dealing with demonic accusations with a Saint Body.

But what he thought was the same as Fu Wang: if Qianwang Holy Tower really came to test, he’d have no choice but to personally slay Sikong Jing.

Simply put, it’s just temporarily buying time now.

The reason he singled Sikong Jing out for a talk was naturally to lay a foundation, telling Sikong Jing, I’ve done my utmost; if things go awry, I’ll have to apologize.

For Overlord Commerce, some matters are beyond my control.

Of course, Sikong Jing understood his underlying meaning, lightly saying, "Qianwang Holy Tower doesn’t have a treasure for Saint Body testing."

Murong Jianyun was utterly stunned at these words.

Even with his Great Heaven Decision, he couldn’t ascertain if Qianwang Holy Tower possessed such a thing, given Qianwang Holy Tower’s terrifying reputation; who knows how many treasures they might have.

Moreover, with what Pei Yuxian said before leaving, he also thought it quite possible they did.

"Pei Yuxian was scaring us."

"So there’s no need for the Great Heaven Decision to worry. All they can do is produce evidence that I’m not a Saint Body, perhaps trick me into revealing it myself, and use treasures like the Soul Returning Mirror for proof."

Every word Sikong Jing spoke was exceptionally calm...

However, Murong Jianyun furrowed his brow, asking in a low voice, "How can you be so sure?"

He was obviously asking where Sikong Jing got the information that Qianwang Holy Tower doesn’t have a treasure for Saint Body testing.

To this, Sikong Jing gave a subtle smile.

"By a fortunate coincidence, I came into contact with a hidden pawn from Qianwang Holy Tower. They stationed this pawn by someone suspected to have a Saint Body to confirm and activate it..."

"If Qianwang Holy Tower really had a treasure for Saint Body testing, why go through such trouble?"

What Sikong Jing referred to was naturally Jiang Wanyou and Hua Meixi, but specifics were obviously kept vague.

He spoke only of coincidence...

Murong Jianyun’s eyes brightened intensely at his words, refraining from asking for further details, he said, "Then I’m relieved, we can continuously muddle through using the Saint Body... Anyway, regardless of what others say, outwardly, you are the Saint Body."

As long as it cannot be detected, as long as neither Sikong Jing nor himself gets caught with evidence, there’s absolutely no issue.

No matter others’ suspicions, they’ll just adamantly declare he’s the Saint Body.

To this, Sikong Jing lightly nodded, this matter would be handled as such for the time being.

And for suddenly transforming from a non-combatant to a fearsome, mysterious Saint Body, Sikong Jing naturally accepted it with pleasure.

He was to openly reclaim Su Yuexi, becoming a Saint Body was certainly beneficial.

With Sikong Jing’s assuring words, Murong Jianyun’s mood finally relaxed a little. Then he opened the Ba Yun Secret Realm, before leading Sikong Jing inside...

Clearly, he still had more to discuss with Sikong Jing.

Walking along a small path within the secret realm’s forest, Murong Jianyun took a deep breath and began eerily...

"Did you know? Back then, Su Old Demon’s affair hung like a thread of fear in many people’s hearts. Among them, I often wondered what I would do if I were Su Old Demon ourselves?"

"Or rather, if we had a similarly brilliant disciple like Su Old Demon, how should we react?"

His voice bore a slight tremble, clearly indicating this issue had troubled Murong Jianyun.

"And I never expected that this matter would really happen to me, and the Saint Body was the only solution I could think of."

Murong Jianyun delivered another wave of bitter laughter here.

For such an unexplored territory as the Saint Body, the Central Plains, and lack of understanding were leveraged to deal with it; no other solution came to mind.

Continuing, Murong Jianyun said, "Probably many powerful leaders have similar thoughts like mine; after all, the Saint Body is unpredictable and enigmatic, no one knows what types exist..."

"But when Pei Yuxian said Qianwang Holy Tower possessed the treasure for testing the Saint Body, it truly scared me, thankfully it was just intimidation."

Murong Jianyun was still somewhat shaken when recounting this.

Sikong Jing didn’t comment further; Murong Jianyun’s current words were merely a release of inner tension.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing too considered similar issues, about being accused of demonic traits. But for him, it was rather straightforward, since he had once disguised as Sikong Buwang.

By masquerading with Fierce Beast Blood from Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison...

If Murong Jianyun hadn’t thought of the Saint Body solution earlier, he too would have disguised himself; though Sikong Jing didn’t prefer it, seeing it could limit certain future battles.

Additionally, it increased the likelihood of being discovered, eventually leading to exposure.

More importantly, Sikong Jing disliked pretending as a War Body... Instead, he intended to fight for the legitimacy of non-combatant status, opposing unjust demon accusations by resisting unwarranted claims.
