Berserk God of War

Chapter 566: Chapter 566 Deception leads to destruction

About the matter of Dark Wings, calm has temporarily been restored.

However, conversations about Sikong Jing, Xingluo General Academy, and Long Night Saint Dragon Palace within the Long Night Imperial City have been fermenting incessantly, with countless people discussing the terror of Sikong Jing’s clash with Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

”Sikong Jing is so formidable, he should be able to enter the top hundred of the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List, right?”

”Impossible, the reason he was able to slay Bai Changwu and Ji Tingyue was solely due to the terror of the Night Shadow Mad Wolf, a Fierce Beast. I heard it took him several thousand moves just to kill her.”

”I see, but Sikong Jing should still be able to enter the top three hundred, and there’s hope for the top hundred in the future.”

As for the prospects of Sikong Jing, everyone was optimistic, even if he couldn’t make it into the top hundred at present, the future held great opportunities for him.

After all, Sikong Jing had just turned twenty years old, with a full five years ahead of him.

”That’s hard to say, Sikong Jing’s current situation is extremely dangerous. Wangyou Sect wants to kill him, Xingluo Academy wants to kill him, and Holy Dragon General Academy probably wants to kill him too. Can he really live until then?”

”Right, the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace keeps stressing that Sikong Jing isn’t one of their students.”

”With the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace being so adamant, yet still not daring to firmly protect Sikong Jing, it’s evident what he will face... How many Martial Arts geniuses have emerged in this world, but how many truly live long enough to grow?”

On the streets of Long Night Imperial City, everyone was talking about Sikong Jing.

At this time, a man and a woman were also strolling on the street, they were none other than Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi.

Since they had already returned and Beigong Xianfeng had been perfectly revived, Sikong Jing naturally wanted to take his wife out for some fun.

”Brother Jing, how long are you planning to stay this time?” Su Yuexi, hearing the discussions around them, wore a concerned expression.

Her body had already begun to show faint signs of True Qi flickering within, and her whole being seemed even more radiant and attractive. However, Su Yuexi had been cultivating for only a short time and had just barely reached the Transcendent Realm.

”We can’t stay for too long. The news of my return to the Long Night Imperial City will soon reach Wangyou Sect.”

Sikong Jing spoke softly, reiterating that to kill him, Wangyou Sect would definitely stop at nothing, which meant he needed to leave to avoid endangering Su Yuexi and his in-laws.

And as for the Holy Dragon General Academy, they would surely come to question Long Night Saint Dragon Palace because of Lu Ding’s death.

The Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, although growing stronger, was yet insufficient to withstand the pressure of Holy Dragon General Academy and Wangyou Sect.

To this response, Su Yuexi’s gaze dimmed slightly, then she rallied her spirits and asked, ”Then where are you planning to go, Brother Jing?”

Now that ”Dark Wings is dead,” Sikong Jing wouldn’t return to the Long Night Black Burning Army until the outcome of the conflict between Ji Shengmang and Ji Tan, father and son, came through, and he didn’t want to meddle in the courtly struggles for the time being.

After a moment’s hesitation, Sikong Jing replied, ”I should also be heading west...”

He thought of his sister, Sikong Ling; she had already journeyed west following Hua Lidian’s introduction, therefore, Sikong Jing also wanted to take that trip. Moreover, he had to create a distraction on his way westward to divert Wangyou Sect’s attention.

To let Wangyou Sect know that he was no longer in the Long Night Imperial City.

”Ah!”

Just as Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi continued their stroll,

a cry of surprise suddenly came from the end of a distant street, followed by more and more screams rising, with civilians fleeing in a panic.

Crack, crack...

The next instant, the terrifying sound of ice forming echoed from the end of the street, and the buildings around the street were frozen solid.

Upon seeing this, a flash of cold light shone in Sikong Jing’s eyes: ”Wangyou Sect!”

Although this frost power was not from the ”Supreme Forget Love Technique,” it belonged to the power of other cultivation techniques of the Wangyou Sect. Sikong Jing had clashed with people from the Wangyou Sect several times and knew this clearly.

Then, in the next instant, clang, clang, clang...

The sounds of weapons being unsheathed erupted, and a deep voice roared, ”Wangyou Sect, what are you trying to do?”

This was the voice of a middle-aged man.

At that moment, a cold female voice responded, ”Our Sect Master has said, if Beigong Xianfeng dares to deceive her, then she will have his entire family slaughtered. And Beigong Xianfeng... indeed deceived our Sect Master.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s entire body shook violently.

He remembered Beigong Xianfeng’s previous instructions, how he had lied to Mo Ci by saying that he was going to the War Soul Dynasty to assassinate Gongyang Ying. In turn, Mo Ci had gone to the War Soul Dynasty to lie in wait, but now he had returned to the Long Night Imperial City.

Therefore, Mo Ci had actually dispatched the Wangyou Sect’s experts to kill Beigong Xianfeng’s family members.

”Wangyou Sect, you’ve killed my father, and now you want to wipe out our entire family too?” the middle-aged man roared furiously.

The speaker was none other than Beigong Xianfeng’s only son, Beigong Da.

While he was traveling, he was targeted by a powerful member of the Wangyou Sect and was intercepted right in the streets.

”Yes, blame Beigong Xianfeng for his careless talk, for deceiving our Sect Master by saying Sikong Jing would go to the War Soul Dynasty, causing our Sect Master to make a fruitless trip,” the middle-aged female voice said, chilled and filled with killing intent.

In response to this, Beigong Da shouted furiously, ”You are insane, how would my father know where Sikong Jing would be? You all were headed in the wrong direction from the start.”

Even Beigong Xianfeng’s only son did not know that Sikong Jing was Dark Wings. He was now even more grief-stricken and outraged.

He was also unaware that his father had been brought back to life, now within the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

”My father lied in order to survive, to deal with the battles affecting the Youyuan Twelve States... yet you, the Wangyou Sect, killed him without bothering to discern the truth,” Beigong Da roared through gritted teeth.

At this moment, the crowd surrounding them had already scattered, and Sikong Jing could see the situation at the end of the street.

Beigong Da was leading a group of several dozen guards, their expressions filled with rage and despair...

Opposite them stood several experts from the Wangyou Sect, including a middle-aged woman who was a terrifying existence from the Dao Inquiry Realm.

All of them, perched atop Ice Soul Cold Eagles.

The middle-aged woman who had just spoken to Beigong Da shrugged indifferently and replied, ”That’s not our concern; Beigong Xianfeng did deceive, and our Sect Master has decreed that your entire Beigong Family is to be slain.”

As these words were spoken, the temperature around them plunged further, and the frost grew thicker and thicker, chilling to the bone.

Beigong Da’s whole body trembled violently; his True Qi from the Extraordinary realm was suppressed by several people from the Wangyou Sect, unable to manifest. He hadn’t joined the Long Night Black Burning Army, but he did hold an important position within the Long Night Empire.

But as he was suddenly intercepted, the experts of the Long Night Empire were too late to intervene and help.

Facing the terrifying Dao Inquiry Realm expert, Beigong Da felt a bone-chilling coldness... It would only take the blink of an eye for the opponent to kill him.

Thud, thud...

However, just when everyone from the Beigong Family was sinking into despair, heavy footsteps echoed on the icy, frozen ground, accompanied by the sound of ice fragments breaking. A figure moved toward the confronting parties.

”Hm? It’s Sikong Jing...” People in the distance couldn’t help but exclaim.

And Su Yuexi’s palms were slightly sweating, but she made no move and did not stop Sikong Jing from stepping in.

At that time, Sikong Jing slowly said, ”Wangyou Sect, your target is me. Let the Old Commander Beigong’s family go.”
