Berserk God of War-Chapter 733: This Pie, Cannot Be Eaten
Chapter 733: Chapter 733: This Pie, Cannot Be Eaten
Two titleholders in one person, astonishing the world!
However, as more and more people came to know of Sikong Jing’s deeds within the War Soul Dynasty, no one voiced objections anymore; at the same time, the news that Sikong Jing had single-handedly killed Yu Wenxiong spread far and wide across the land.
The Invincible Divine General, Sikong Jing, was truly deserving of his title.
Meanwhile, the fact that Sikong Jing and the Wangyou Sect Young Master were siblings also gradually became known, and his fame grew immensely.
Yet, there were displeased voices saying, "No matter how strong Sikong Jing is, what can it amount to? Having offended the Three Great Academies, his demise is certain. Once the academies make their move, he will undoubtedly die."
Someone loudly argued, "That might not necessarily be the case. Now Sikong Jing has the support of both the Wangyou Sect and the Long Night Empire."
"The Wangyou Sect lost a Sect Master, and I heard even the Great Elder is dead... What can his sister, the Young Sect Master, do?"
"I think the Heavenly Dao Academy will be the first to strike. Two Reverse Soul Realm powerhouses and a super genius, Pang Ruanyi, all died here; they cannot tolerate this humiliation."
"Right, they will definitely destroy the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to intimidate the East Plain Northern Land."
The news of everyone from the Heavenly Dao Academy who came here being annihilated had of course already spread.
In short, there were all sorts of opinions, but they were just topics of conversation over tea and meals.
On the day of his enthronement, Sikong Jing also went to the Imperial Palace, giving Ji Shengmang face.
After all the rewards had been distributed, Sikong Jing was summoned by Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng to the study in the back garden of the Imperial Palace. The two looked at Sikong Jing intently and then bowed deeply in thanks.
If it weren’t for Sikong Jing, the two of them would certainly have become corpses by now, and the Long Night Empire would have definitely faced turmoil.
As for acquiring the Youyuan Twelve States, that would have been impossible.
Seeing this, Sikong Jing quickly waved his hand and said, "You needn’t do this; some of these issues were also caused by me."
In the end, the three looked at each other and smiled, ceasing such formalities.
Suddenly, Beigong Xianfeng said solemnly, "Ajing, next month you are destined to enter the top ten of the East Plain Thousand Dominator List. Do you know what being in the top ten, or precisely the top 18, means?"
At these words, Sikong Jing was stunned and replied softly, "It means getting the chance to go to the Central Plains."
With that, Beigong Xianfeng and Ji Shengmang exchanged glances, then it was Beigong Xianfeng who asked, "Did Palace Master Shen tell you?"
"Uh..."
Sikong Jing was momentarily speechless, then shook his head and said, "Not exactly. Mr. Hua mentioned it casually when I killed Ren Dongmeng."
At that, Ji Shengmang could not help but exclaim as he stood up abruptly, "Overlord Commerce has already issued you an invitation?"
Damn, Overlord Commerce is really fast.
"Not exactly a formal invitation. It was just a few words Mr. Hua mentioned offhand when I killed Ren Dongmeng." Sikong Jing shook his head; the new list hadn’t come out yet, so it couldn’t be considered a real invitation.
"What? You killed Ren Dongmeng?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Beigong Xianfeng’s eyes, then as if struck by a realization, he nearly collapsed to the ground exclaiming, "What did you say? You, you, you...killed Overlord Commerce’s steward?"
At these words, Ji Shengmang almost smashed the table.
The death of Ren Dongmeng, neither Long Night Saint Dragon Palace nor Wangyou Sect had made public.
To avoid unnecessary troubles...
Hence, not until Sikong Jing mentioned it did Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng learn of it.
They definitely knew who Ren Dongmeng was. Unlike Mr. Hua who was low-key and humble, she always liked to boast and show off in public, so even though she was responsible for the War Soul Dynasty region, she was a very well-known figure.
And now, she had been killed by Sikong Jing?
Sikong Jing even managed to kill a steward of Overlord Commerce; this was simply...terrifying.
"Yes, but there’s no need to worry. Ren Dongmeng intervened in the power struggle first, and Mr. Hua will handle it well." Sikong Jing smiled, fearing that the two were overly concerned about this matter.
This was not a matter of handling or not handling; rather, how had Sikong Jing become so perverted as to kill existence even stronger than Bi Mo Ci?
How could Sikong Jing be so bold?
As for Su Yuexi’s War Body secret, Sikong Jing did not reveal it because he did not mention the causes and consequences.
The two thought that Ren Dongmeng had only intervened in the struggle between the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Beigong Xianfeng rubbed his aching head and finally said, "Although Hua Lidian has made assurances, Ren Dongmeng surely has friends in the Overlord Commerce. Sigh... If you are thinking of going to the Central Plains, it will probably be fraught with thorns."
Hearing Beigong Old Commander’s words, Ji Shengmang’s eyes sparked, the Old Commander was hinting at keeping Sikong Jing here.
Sikong Jing then asked, "Do you two understand the actions of the Overlord Commerce?"
They nodded heavily. Every five years, the Overlord Commerce would select the top eighteen from the Thousand Tyrant List to go to the Central Plains; they could not possibly be completely unaware of this.
Hundreds of years ago, the Long Night Empire also had a super genius who was among the top eighteen and had also left.
Of course, he had never returned.
Next, Beigong Xianfeng began to explain some of the rules of the Overlord Commerce.
"First, there is struggle. The East Plain Four Regions compete for the slots to go to the Central Plains, and supposedly, only a dozen people have this opportunity." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed. So, there would be a contest among geniuses from the East Plain Four Regions?
Hua Lidian also made it very clear; it was only an opportunity to go to the Central Plains, not a guarantee of going.
"What about those who are eliminated?" Sikong Jing asked, thinking of this.
Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng looked at each other, and this time Ji Shengmang explained, "Basically, none of them can return; it’s said to be a battle to the death, several dozen people compete for a dozen spots, and almost all the others die."
His pupils slightly dilated, Sikong Jing nodded, and a cruel atmosphere immediately spread.
"And those dozen or so who are decided mostly can’t return either, all dying in the Central Plains."
"The occasional lucky ones who do return become deacons of the Overlord Commerce, and they absolutely never mention anything about the Central Plains."
Beigong Xianfeng’s voice grew deeper, looking at Sikong Jing and said, "In other words, the Overlord Commerce painted a big pie for the Martial Arts geniuses of the East Plain Four Regions, and then they all died serving its purpose."
"Ajing, the Central Plains might be fascinating, but staying in the East Plain Northern Land is also good."
"You need to think it over carefully and not be tempted by those so-called pies."
Beigong Xianfeng and Ji Shengmang urged him, one after the other, both not wanting Sikong Jing to leave.
Sikong Jing had not yet decided on this matter and eventually clasped his fists, indicating he would think it over carefully, then bid farewell and left.
Walking on the streets of the Long Night Imperial City, Sikong Jing suddenly felt a bit lost. To truly become the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, he needed a broader stage, but his family was all in the East Plain Northern Land.
Perhaps he could go later, but now was not the time to leave.
"Ow..."
Just as Sikong Jing was lost in his thoughts.
Suddenly, a cry of sorrow came from the direction of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace—the tragic scream of the Iron Bone Flying Vulture breaking through the sky.
Instantly, Sikong Jing’s expression changed.
Following that, the entire Long Night Seven Dragon Mountain seemed enveloped by ice and snow, covering everything as if instantly transforming into a massive iceberg.
Sikong Jing’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in a low voice, "Supreme Forget Love Technique?"
