Berserk God of War

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: War Soul Star Palace

Regarding this, Sikong Jing remained unconcerned.

He and the members of the Moon Soul Group rode on Unihorn Thousand-step Horses, with a huge iron rod strapped to his back.

His Imperial Advisor Guard uniform was impressively formidable, and the beard on his face added a touch of mature charm!

”Miss, where is Miss Gongyang going?” Sikong Jing asked the Female Guard of the Moon Soul Group beside him.

Upon hearing this, the Female Guard’s face darkened, ”Who are you calling Miss? Soul Eater, do you still think you’re young?”

Sikong Jing was stunned and smiled bitterly to himself.

He handled his other affairs with extreme care, but such a minor detail accidentally revealed his youth—he was actually only twenty years old, but he deliberately made himself look around thirty.

He quickly laughed it off, ”Actually, I’m not that old, Miss Gongyang...”

Sikong Jing hadn’t finished speaking when the Female Guard interrupted sharply, ”A guard should not have so many questions. Your duty is to protect Miss Gongyang. Where she goes is none of your business.”

After saying this, the Female Guard gave him the cold shoulder. The Moon Soul Group had no good impressions of him as the leader of the Soul Eaters.

Like her, who had once toiled in the Soul Penetration Mountain, it was a disgrace that could never be washed away in her lifetime.

Shrugging his shoulders, Sikong Jing asked no further...

By then, they had already entered the bustling streets, and the voices of the people of War Soul Imperial City could be heard.

”Look fast, Miss Gongyang Ying’s Unihorn Thousand-step Horse carriage.”

Suddenly, countless people became excited, shouting like they were chasing stars.

But suddenly, a different voice arose, ”Haven’t you heard? The Moon Soul Fairy is just so-so; she suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a mere mountain bandit during her trip to Wang Hun State, causing the citizens to suffer immensely.”

As soon as these words came out, countless people were shocked and hurriedly asked what had happened.

”Hehe, I heard that she was captured by the mountain bandits for more than half a month. You can imagine what happened,” that voice sinisterly chuckled, causing the faces of the surrounding people to change drastically.

Being captured alive by those evil-plagued mountain bandits, the Moon Soul Fairy was likely... no longer pure.

”Nonsense...”

Suddenly, another voice roared, ”That’s entirely untrue; these are all rumors. How could the Moon Soul Fairy fail? It was just a trick... The mountain bandit leader has already been captured.”

With this voice, the people of the Imperial Capital began to wildly question, unsure of whom to believe.

Inside the carriage, Gongyang Ying, at this moment, had red rims around her eyes, biting her lips frantically.

Because she cared a lot about public opinion, she deliberately listened to the voices of the people and took all these words to heart, feeling extremely distressed. This would inevitably become an indelible stain in her life.

If she had been defeated in battle, she could have accepted it, but for someone to say she was no longer pure was too hard for a girl to handle.

Even if Soul Eater now said that he never touched a single hair on her head, could people believe it?

It would only smear her reputation further.

In the crowd, those saying these were rumors were sent by her grandfather, but you can’t wrap fire in paper. Within the Dynasty, there were countless people wanting to bring her grandfather down, and this would inevitably become a tool for some people to attack.

Aunt Mian was also inside the carriage. She said hatefully, ”Miss, I’ll go kill those bastards spreading nonsense.”

However, Gongyang Ying shook her head with bitten lips, ”Forget it, wouldn’t making a big move appear even more guilty?”

After speaking, she glanced through the slit of the carriage’s curtain at Sikong Jing’s back. If looks could kill, Sikong Jing would have died several times over, all because of this scoundrel.

But what could she do?

This scoundrel might be bad, but in battle, she truly was no match for him!

And indeed, he had never touched her.

The Unihorn Thousand-step Horse carriage passed by without any major incident.

Two hours later, they arrived outside a large manor adorned with star sculptures within War Soul Imperial City.

The estate stretched as far as the eye could see, and it was indeed the War Soul Star Palace.

Sikong Jing was slightly stunned. His first destination in the Long Night Imperial City, apart from the Long Night Black Burning Camp, had been the Xingluo Palace.

Now, having arrived at the War Soul Imperial Capital, it turned out to be Xingluo Palace again.

However, his current role was vastly different, serving as the personal guard to the Moon Soul Fairy.

”Hahaha...”

Just then, a long laugh echoed from the front of the War Soul Star Palace. A man in a star robe, followed by several others clad in similar robes, approached.

The leading man gently said, ”We welcome the Moon Soul Fairy to our War Soul Star Palace.”

Although Gongyang Ying disliked being called the ’Moon Soul Fairy’, people insisted on addressing her by that title, leaving her helpless.

She had grown accustomed to it and, without objection, lifted the carriage curtain, stepped down, and, wearing a red veil, smiled and said, ”Chief of the War Soul Star Palace, Young Master Dou Youchuan, it’s been half a year since we last met, hasn’t it?”

Her voice was soft and faint, revealing no signs of distress.

”Indeed, our last meeting was at the Imperial Court banquet, and the Moon Soul Fairy was already ranked 30th on the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List, while I had just made it onto the list, which is truly embarrassing.”

Dou Youchuan sighed as if genuinely embarrassed.

But in fact, he straightened his chest with pride, as making it onto the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List was an incredible achievement.

None from the Holy Dragon Palace and Xingluo Palace had made it on the list yet, not counting Sikong Jing who had been expelled.

And here he was, the Chief of the War Soul Star Palace, successfully on the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List.

Just as Dou Youchuan was expecting praise from Gongyang Ying, she unexpectedly asked in astonishment, ”Me, ranked 30th on the Thousand Tyrant List?”

”Uh... didn’t you know?”

”The latest East Plain Thousand Tyrant List has the Moon Soul Fairy at rank 30.”

Dou Youchuan was surprised that Gongyang Ying was unaware since they all paid close attention each month, desperately trying to climb the rankings.

At the same time, a glint flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes.

Nearly a month had passed since the incident at the Yingyue Building, and a new ranking had been released.

Where did his sister Sikong Ling rank, and where was he?

”I really didn’t know.”

Lately, Gongyang Ying hadn’t had the heart to pay attention to such matters.

Moreover, she found it ironic; no matter how skilled in Martial Arts, she had been thoroughly defeated by the Soul Stealer.

Suddenly, she thought to say, ”Young Master Dou, congratulations on making it to the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List too.”

As the granddaughter of Imperial Advisor Gongyang, Gongyang Ying was very experienced in handling such formal exchanges.

”Hahaha...”

Dou Youchuan finally received the Moon Soul Fairy’s praise, laughing joyfully before promptly restraining himself, ”It’s just over 900, really nothing to mention, nothing at all.”

Though he said this, he was extremely proud; despite not aspiring to woo Gongyang Ying.

Being admired by a beautiful immortal was definitely a very pleasant thing.

”Over 900, truly nothing to mention.”

Suddenly, a cold sneer came from the distance, aimed directly at Dou Youchuan, it was like a bucket of cold water.

As the sound fell, the expressions of those around the War Soul Star Palace darkened; then, from behind a Unihorn Thousand-step Horse carriage, several demon dragons approached, with various men and women seated on their backs.

Some were older, some younger... and it was clear without a second glance, these were people from the War Soul Sacred Dragon Palace.
