Berserk God of War

Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Sikong Jing, Pack Up

The crowd outside the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace gradually dispersed.

Ji Ming and the people from the Peng Family of the Long Night Empire were escorted to the Imperial City, and it wasn’t until everyone had disappeared that Emperor Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng appeared at the entrance of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

”Your Majesty, are you prepared to meet Sikong Jing?” Beigong Xianfeng asked, falling a step behind.

Ji Shengmang nodded solemnly, ”Such a genius must be met by the Emperor, and I must also see Shen Qingye. I want to see how the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace managed to fend off the Wangyou Sect.”

Beigong Xianfeng understood in his heart that repelling the Wangyou Sect was something that the Emperor cared deeply about.

He was equally curious about how strong the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace had become.

After being announced, Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng were led by Wen Hu to Golden Dragon Mountain and met Shen Qingye.

At that moment, Shen Qingye was still giving pointers on swordsmanship to Su Yuexi.

Upon seeing the new arrivals, Su Yuexi sheathed her sword and bowed first, ”Beigong Commander, Yue Xi pays her respects.”

Su Yuexi had negotiated with Beigong Xianfeng once before, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

At the moment, Beigong Xianfeng was unaware that Su Yuexi was the War Body and found it strange that Shen Qingye placed such importance on her.

But he did not ask further, greeting her with a smile instead.

In his heart, he thought that Sikong Jing received great attention, with even Shen Qingye personally giving guidance to his wife. He was about to introduce Su Yuexi to Emperor Ji Shengmang.

However, before he could speak, Shen Qingye interrupted him.

”Ji Shengmang, Brother Ji, your timing is perfect. I have a favor to ask of you.”

Suddenly, both Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng were taken aback. What favor did Shen Qingye need from them?

Could it be to have the Long Night Empire withstand the pressure from the Holy Dragon General Academy? Ji Shengmang had considered this, which was why he had a third matter to attend to on this visit—to discuss with Shen Qingye how to handle this issue.

Ji Shengmang had already thought it through, that he would say the Long Night Empire could likely not do much against the Holy Dragon General Academy.

The specifics would still depend on how strong the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace truly was, and how much it was worth for him to invest in.

With these thoughts, Ji Shengmang said, ”Palace Master Shen, please speak your mind.”

In the presence of the Palace Master of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, he wouldn’t put on any imperial airs.

All this time, the Long Night Emperor and the Subacademy Masters of the Three Great Academies were on equal footing.

As long as the bottom line of the Empire was not touched, they wouldn’t tear their faces apart.

”It’s a minor issue. I have already expelled Sikong Jing from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace. Just help me issue a notice,” Shen Qingye said nonchalantly, then suddenly turned to Su Yuexi, ”Yue Xi, focus on your cultivation.”

Su Yuexi nodded without any change in expression and continued practicing her swordsmanship as instructed.

However, the counterparts, Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng, were dumbstruck. The latter couldn’t help but ask, ”Palace Master Shen, what did you just say? You expelled Sikong Jing from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace?”

Disbelief filled their eyes. Shen Qingye spoke so casually that Beigong Xianfeng felt something was terribly off.

”Yes, since Sikong Jing cut down the Main Academy’s disciple of the Holy Dragon General Academy, naturally I had to expel him from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace. Otherwise, how would we cope?” Shen Qingye still spoke indifferently, as though it was to be expected.

Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng gaped at each other, finding her words to make perfect sense.

But, but...

Shen Qingye spoke too lightly; Sikong Jing was a terrifying Martial Arts Genius, and she spoke of giving up on him just like that?

”By the way, just word the notice as I said: Sikong Jing was expelled for cutting down Lu Ding of the Holy Dragon General Academy.”

”That kid is just too disobedient, I explicitly told him not to cut.”

Shen Qingye couldn’t help but mutter to herself before gently giving a couple of pointers to Su Yuexi’s swordsmanship.

Across the way, Ji Shengmang wasn’t too bothered since he had no idea that Su Yuexi was Sikong Jing’s wife, but the Beigong vanguard was completely mystified. You exile a man’s husband and still treat him gently? What’s that about?

And Su Yuexi didn’t even seem to react at all. What on earth was going on?

Next to her, Ji Shengmang was thinking, What am I even doing here?

Oh right, I came to see Sikong Jing and find out how the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace defeated the Wangyou Sect, but now they’ve exiled Sikong Jing, so what can I even do now?

Suddenly, after giving her advice, Shen Qingye asked, ”By the way, did you need me for something?”

Ji Shengmang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, ”We came to see Sikong Jing.”

”Oh, he should be at Drunk Dragon Mountain packing his things right now. You can go look for him there,” Shen Qingye responded nonchalantly.

With a twitch in his mouth, Ji Shengmang and the Beigong vanguard could only take their leave.

But soon, Ji Shengmang couldn’t resist turning back and asking earnestly, ”Palace Master Shen, I heard that the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace crushed Wangyou Sect’s Sect Master Mo Ci. May I know by what means this was accomplished?”

In the end, Ji Shengmang couldn’t help but ask.

Beigong vanguard suddenly had a thought. Could it have been Sikong Jing’s human-shaped demon beast companion who made a move?

With this in mind, he couldn’t help but stare intensely at Shen Qingye.

”That matter? We at the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace have a Reverse Soul Realm Seven Symbols Heavenly Dragon as a guardian, and with the combined forces of our entire palace, we eliminated all the invaders except for Mo Ci. It wasn’t that hard,” she said, shrugging as if it was nothing.

In fact, the Seven Symbols Heavenly Dragon currently only peaked at the Golden Body Realm, but she purposefully implied it was in the Reverse Soul Realm.

This way, many people would back down... And it was only a matter of time before the Seven Symbols Heavenly Dragon reached the Reverse Soul Realm. With all the meridian systems of the original Six Symbols Heavenly Dragon, it would definitely get there within two years.

Sure enough, both Ji Shengmang and the Beigong vanguard were stunned, staring incredulously at Shen Qingye.

Since when did the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace have a Reverse Soul Realm Demon Dragon?

They had never even heard of such a thing!

But they didn’t dare to ask further, so after bowing their fists, the two mounted their rides and set off toward Drunk Dragon Mountain.

Shen Qingye’s calm face slowly turned fierce, and a wave of anger began to brew within her.

”Yue Xi, even though exiling Ajing is a part of the plan, it still pisses me off,” she said.

The plan Sikong Jing had shared on Drunk Dragon Mountain was to prove his innocence by killing Lu Ding, and then use Lu Ding’s identity as an excuse to expel him from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace...

The entire plan was nearing completion, but that sense of dissatisfaction couldn’t stop erupting within her.

”Palace Master, Brother Jing will surely return before long. We must have faith in him,” said Su Yuexi, who cared about Sikong Jing more than anyone else in this world. Yet now, she was the one comforting Shen Qingye.

”Damn it, I need to get stronger fast. I have to protect my own child,” Shen Qingye couldn’t help but shriek, suddenly filled with motivation. After all, every student in the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace was like her child!

...

In midair en route to Drunk Dragon Mountain, Ji Shengmang stared intently in the direction of Demon Dragon Valley and said, ”A Reverse Soul Realm Seven Symbols Heavenly Dragon. The Long Night Saint Dragon Palace has kept itself well hidden. No wonder they could stand up to the Wangyou Sect.”

Beigong vanguard was also staring at Demon Dragon Valley, feeling the terrifying fluctuations emanating from within.

In the East Plain Northern Land, the most fearsome martial artists were mostly from the Seven Sects, Five Sects, Three Academies, and among them, most of the top experts were in the Reverse Soul Realm. Mo Ci, for example, had only just reached the Reverse Soul Realm.

The even more powerful Martial Battle Realm, however, had very few practitioners; it was said that none of the sect masters of the Three Great Academies had reached the Martial Battle Realm.
