Berserk God of War

Chapter 682: Chapter 682: She, Also in the Mountains

Never during the times when she was chased by the Wangyou Sect in the Minglong Mountain Range did Ning Jingjing imagine that there would be a day like today, nor did she expect Sikong Jing to keep thinking about his sister, which was an impossible task.

But now, Sikong Jing was about to achieve that goal, and perhaps they would soon be reunited as brother and sister.

”Giggle giggle giggle...”

Just as Ning Jingjing was reflecting on this, suddenly a woman’s laughter rang out eerily in the mountains.

In an instant, all the members of the 66th Army and the mountain bandits felt their hairs stand on end, and they promptly stood up on guard.

Sikong Jing also abruptly stood up and called out, ”Who’s there?”

The next moment, a graceful figure appeared before Sikong Jing, who was stunned and said, ”Overlord Commerce, Ren Dongmeng?”

The person was indeed Ren Dongmeng, which filled Sikong Jing with confusion, yet he remained wary in his heart.

Even though the Overlord Commerce should not participate in any conflicts, one never knew what might happen in these mountains.

”Sikong Jing, congratulations,” Ren Dongmeng said, not minding his wariness as she walked over with a smile.

With no expression on his face, Sikong Jing still cupped his hands slightly and asked, ”For what joyous occasion?”

”First of all, of course, congratulations on successfully breaking through the encirclement and reaching the Northern Mountain,” Ren Dongmeng said with a light laugh. Then she quickly added, ”Secondly, congratulations on reaching rank 30 on the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List!”

As her words fell, a strong light flashed across Sikong Jing’s eyes, in disbelief and amazement.

Hadn’t Hua Lidian said he should aim for a rank within the top 60? Why did it suddenly jump to rank 30?

”Strange, isn’t it? Of course, it’s thanks to me. I found out about your draw with Gongyang Ying, and then I moved you up to this position. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

Ren Dongmeng appreciated the expression on Sikong Jing’s face, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Conversely, Sikong Jing’s face turned ashen.

If the battle with Gongyang Ying got out, Hua Lidian indeed couldn’t prevent his rank from rising. Drawing a deep breath, Sikong Jing retorted, ”Ren Dongmeng, do I have a grudge against you?”

Clearly, Ren Dongmeng was doing this intentionally; she wouldn’t have appeared before him just to provoke him otherwise.

”No, what grudge could I have with you?”

”We at Overlord Commerce don’t get involved in any conflicts.”

”Isn’t it a good thing for me to raise your rank? How can you look at me this way? Never mind, never mind. I’ll give you the latest list of the Thousand Tyrant List, and then I’ll take my leave.”

Having said that, Ren Dongmeng threw a list to Sikong Jing and then turned to leave.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, tilted her head, and said with a smile, ”Oh right, Wang Ge seems to be in the Northern Mountain too. I should also bring her a list, so as not to play favorites...”

As soon as these words came out, Sikong Jing’s face changed drastically, and he burst out with a murderous intent, ”You dare!”

”Giggle giggle giggle giggle...”

Ren Dongmeng burst into wild laughter, her laughter causing leaves to scatter all over the surrounding mountains, then chuckled, ”Just kidding. I obviously wouldn’t do such a thing; otherwise, it would seem as though I am involving myself in the conflict. But I wonder, how much longer can the Wangyou Sect keep it a secret?”

Without waiting for a reply from Sikong Jing, Ren Dongmeng left with a hearty laugh.

Indeed, she would not bring the list to Wang Ge; she had come merely to flaunt her power and to watch Sikong Jing make a fool of himself.

This allowed her to feel unusually refreshed after having her pride wounded so often recently.

Watching Ren Dongmeng leave, Sikong Jing’s body trembled slightly. He then closed his eyes deeply and opened them again to look at the list.

He saw the names Sikong Jing and Wang Ge closely side by side.

Thump!

The list was crumpled into powder in his grasp... Even though the Wangyou Sect would surely keep his sister from seeing it, having their names so close to each other still added an element of danger. He was afraid, very afraid at the moment.

Out of nowhere, Sikong Jing turned to Ning Jingjing and said, ”My sister is currently in the Northern Mountains. Once I lead you to a safe place, I will go to find her and completely resolve the issues she is facing.”

”Next, I will guide you in the right direction, but during this time I will be entering a state of closed-door cultivation.”

”You will lead the team.”

Sikong Jing was one step away from creating a wholly novel ”Supreme Forget Love Technique” and had to devote himself entirely to his research.

He could not afford to waste another minute.

Ning Jingjing nodded vigorously, promising to do her utmost to avoid disturbing Sikong Jing.

Thus, after everyone had rested and recuperated, they set out again, with Sikong Jing first using the Little Demon Beast to investigate the route through the Northern Mountains. He then relayed the route to Ning Jingjing, allowing her to lead the team forward.

As for Sikong Jing himself, he sat atop a Demon Wolf, eyes closed, entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.

This time, he kept in mind the words of the Feiyun Butterfly. No matter how urgent, he had to remain cautious; the inspiration he held might not be correct, and what he intended to give his sister had to be flawless.

...

War Soul Imperial City, War Soul Sacred Dragon Palace, a deadly silence pervaded the air!

Lian Zhiyu’s father, Lian Kegu, had crossed the Northern Mountains and finally arrived at the site where his daughter, Lian Zhiyu, had been murdered.

At this moment, he was staring intently at the corpse of his daughter, Lian Zhiyu.

Then, slowly lifting his head, he looked at the high-ranking officials of the War Soul Sacred Dragon Palace kneeling before him and coldly said, ”So you claim that at the time of my daughter Zhuiyu’s death, none of you were within the palace. Instead, all of you were provoking the War Soul Star Palace?”

When Lian Kegu had arrived, Qiu Qifeng and others had made various explanations regarding Lian Zhiyu’s death.

Just as they had planned beforehand, they pretended they were not at the War Soul Sacred Dragon Palace at the time and hence could not save her.

Qiu Qifeng, with his entire body trembling, nodded and replied, ”Yes, Elder Lian.”

”Ha, hahaha...”

However, what responded to him was the crazed laughter of Lian Kegu.

Out of the blue, Lian Kegu’s Reverse Soul Realm aura crushed forth as he bellowed furiously, ”As far as I know, you have all been continuously assisting Sikong Jing, and Zhuiyu died because of your grandson, Qiu Baichu, did she not?”

”And what about the changes to the Natural Formation at the Dragon Soul Battlefield? How could Sikong Jing possibly cause such a change to the Formation?”

Each phrase struck Qiu Qifeng and others like a hammer, shaking them to the core with Lian Kegu’s terrifying True Qi, causing them to spew blood repeatedly.

And clearly, Lian Kegu had already conducted a thorough investigation by the time he arrived.

Using various excuses to assist Sikong Jing, Qiu Baichu angering Lian Zhiyu, the story not leading back to Sikong Jing, and so forth...

So he didn’t believe a single word uttered by Qiu Qifeng and the others.

Thud, thud, thud...

Qiu Qifeng and the others kept kowtowing, insisting they had truly tried their hardest to kill Sikong Jing, but to no avail due to twists of fate. Besides, with the Iron Bone Flying Vulture and other Reverse Soul Realm demon beasts at Sikong Jing’s disposal, they could not manage to kill him.

At the same time, Qiu Qifeng vehemently swore that the Natural Formation at the Dragon Soul Battlefield had indeed undergone a change.

Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Lian Kegu believed not a single word.

He growled ferociously, ”Now, call out your grandson Qiu Baichu for me. Since he is the principal offender, regardless of whether what you say is true or false, I want him to be the first to die.”

After saying this, Lian Kegu pointed to Qiu Qifeng and added, ”And, I want you to kill him with your own hands.”

As these words were spoken, the color drained from everyone’s faces on the spot.

No one had expected Lian Kegu to be so ruthless, completely disregarding the circumstances of the incident and how Lian Zhiyu had tried to kill Qiu Baichu at that time. He just went straight for the kill!

So domineering, far more heartless than they had imagined.
