Berserk God of War

Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Zhanwu City, Lang Yiwei

Shang Fu’s body stiffened completely, and he nearly slapped Ling Feiyan’s face with his palm.

”Dammit, couldn’t you have asked me in private?”

”Now if I say I’m not confident, wouldn’t it be extremely embarrassing? What if those considering supporting me decide to run off?”

Having no choice, Shang Fu could only stiffen his chest and said with an air of mystery, ”Of course, I am fully confident. If Sikong Jing still had that Beast Arm, he would be a difficult opponent, but with only one hand, I can finish him within a hundred moves.”

This boast made Shang Fu utterly uncomfortable, so he found an excuse to hurriedly return to his room.

When the others heard this, they let out a long sigh of relief, relieved that Senior Brother Shang was confident; otherwise, they really might’ve had to consider other options.

Half a moment later, the fleet began to head in the direction of Zhanwu City.

On the deck, Gongyang Ying quietly asked Ling Feiyan, ”Senior Sister Ling, I feel that Senior Brother Shang might not be as confident as he claims, right?”

If he was so sure, why didn’t he just challenge Sikong Jing to a duel before?

Besides, Sikong Jing is the one who defeated you, Senior Sister Ling, who ranks sixth on the Thousand Tyrant List, with a single move.

However, this remark greatly annoyed Ling Feiyan, who retorted sharply, ”Don’t make wild guesses. I’ve told you Senior Brother Shang is just playing the fool to catch the wise. Do you really think he didn’t make a move just now because he’s not confident?”

Seeing Gongyang Ying tacitly agree, Ling Feiyan continued with extreme earnestness, ”Of course not. Senior Brother Shang is only concealing his true strength to avoid easy detection. He intends to surprise everyone during the Overlord Commerce’s quota battle.”

After speaking, Ling Feiyan’s eyes were filled with stars.

Meanwhile, Gongyang Ying’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, recalling his grandfather’s warning not to fall in love lightly, for a woman in love can easily become illogical. It seemed this was indeed the case.

...

On this side, the Changhua continued on its steady course toward Zhanwu City.

Sikong Jing continued his cultivation as usual, not believing that Xingluo Academy would dare to attack him, especially at this critical time.

Even if they wanted to, Gongyang Ying would certainly warn them, claiming that Sikong Jing had a second fearsome demon beast at his disposal.

Gongyang Ying didn’t know that the human-shaped demon beast was Sikong Jing himself.

Comfortably cultivating, Sikong Jing finally emerged from his room and came onto the deck a few days later as the Changhua neared Zhanwu City. Lang Yizhan approached him and said hoarsely, ”Junior Brother Sikong, Steward Hua has indeed not appeared.”

In his eyes was a deep sense of worry...

The absence of Hua Lidian before the Changhua arrived at Zhanwu City meant that Sikong Jing might face the peril of being completely annihilated.

Nodding his head, Sikong Jing looked expressionless as he gazed at Zhanwu City, even larger than Long Night Imperial City.

Yet in his heart, he wasn’t as worried but still hesitated before saying, ”Senior Brother Lang, if you want to help me, after entering the city, help me find a mercenary group of a hundred thousand men.”

No matter what, he had to take all necessary precautions; a hundred thousand mercenaries could unleash the full potential of the Soldier Killing Array.

Lang Yizhan’s eyes gleamed, and he nodded firmly in agreement.

Sigh...

Just then, a gale suddenly arose.

The second Divine Spaceship, without warning, began to approach from the direction of Zhanwu City.

Lang Yizhan’s eyes lit up, and he happily said, ”Junior Brother Sikong, that is the Divine Spaceship of Wanbao Pavilion, it must be coming to pick me up.”

Soon, the opposite Divine Spaceship drew near.

The two men standing on it, however, plunged Lang Yizhan’s excitement about returning home into the depths of despair, as his pupils contracted uncontrollably.

He stood there, stupefied for a moment, before finally calling out to the older man, ”Big brother.”

The person on the bow of the ship opposite was none other than his eldest brother, Lang Yiwei.

The other, even younger one, was his third brother, Lang Yizhan, whom he and Sikong Jing had once dealt a heavy blow. Now the two of them had come together to meet him, and it probably wouldn’t mean anything good.

Sikong Jing’s eyes also narrowed slightly, of course, he still remembered Lang Yizhan, who was also a student at the Heavenly Dao Academy.

His gaze then turned to Young Master Lang, Lang Yiwei, who exuded a mature and steady demeanor.

After the Divine Spaceship halted, he, with his small mustache, stretched out his hands and smiled at Lang Yisuo, ”Second brother, welcome home.”

A smile was on Lang Yiwei’s face, showing no hint of hostility, even giving off the feeling of an elder brother’s affection for his younger sibling.

But beside him, Lang Yizhan revealed a faint cold smirk, arms crossed, without speaking.

Lang Yisuo took a deep breath; he was no longer the old honest and too-nice guy. He replied with a smile, ”Thank you, eldest brother. I’m so happy that you took time out of your busy schedule to come and meet me.”

As he spoke, he didn’t board the Divine Spaceship opposite to embrace his elder brother; instead, he bowed deeply.

Lang Yiwei did not seem to mind as he retracted his hands and continued with a smile, ”Second brother, there’s another important matter the third brother and I need to inform you about, a message from father for you.”

Getting straight to the point, Lang Yisuo’s expression slightly solidified, and he felt somewhat nervous inside.

Lang Yiwei went on, ”It’s like this, you previously sent a message inquiring about Steward Hua of the Overlord Commerce, didn’t you? Father said that Steward Hua has encountered a big problem and told me to inform your Junior Brother Sikong to immediately stay away from Zhanwu City.”

As the words fell, Lang Yisuo instinctively looked towards Sikong Jing, his expression becoming grave again.

Sikong Jing was also stunned. Earlier, Lang Yisuo had received a reply from the head of Wanbao Pavilion, who told him not to investigate matters of the Overlord Commerce. He never expected that right after their arrival at Zhanwu City, Lang Yiwei would come to warn him to leave.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing’s gaze fell on Lang Yizhan again. Could they really be this kind-hearted?

Turning back, Lang Yisuo hastily responded, ”Thank you, eldest brother. I will discuss this matter with my Junior Brother Sikong...”

Before he could finish speaking, Lang Yizhan suddenly interrupted with a strange tone, ”Second brother, eldest brother hasn’t finished speaking yet.”

Lang Yisuo was taken aback and instinctively looked back at Lang Yiwei.

The latter smiled subtly, his eyes suddenly narrowing as he said, ”But I think, our Wanbao Pavilion is countless levels below the Overlord Commerce. It’s really not good for father to meddle in the affairs of the Overlord Commerce... very bad indeed...”

Hearing this, Lang Yisuo’s pupils once again began to constrict, a very bad premonition arising.

Lang Yiwei continued, ”So, elder brother thinks that we shouldn’t let Sikong Jing stay away from Zhanwu City. In fact, we should also leak the news that he is approaching Zhanwu City to the Overlord Commerce.”

As soon as the words ended, Sikong Jing’s eyes gradually became fierce... As expected, the visitor meant no good.

Lang Yisuo’s face changed drastically, and he could not help but exclaim, ”Eldest brother, you actually...”

Before he could finish, it was Lang Yiwei who interrupted this time, ”And I informed the Overlord Commerce before your arrival. They will soon send people. They said they must capture Sikong Jing, this co-conspirator of Hua Lidian.”

...Whew...

With Lang Yiwei’s words, a sudden gust of cold wind rolled up between the two Divine Spaceships, causing Lang Yisuo to shiver violently.

The Changhua’s arrival at Zhanwu City was not recorded in any scheduled itinerary, only Wanbao Pavilion knew about it.

Therefore, Overlord Commerce was also unaware of the exact time Sikong Jing would arrive.

This was what Hua Lidian and Lang Yisuo had agreed upon before.

In other words, if Junior Brother Sikong insisted on entering the city, they would have had time to prepare, time to deal with any situation from the Overlord Commerce. But now, his eldest brother and third brother had directly reported their schedule to the Overlord Commerce.

Moreover, this was in defiance of their father’s orders.

It seemed that something serious indeed had happened to Hua Lidian. Overlord Commerce was intending to come directly for Sikong Jing, calling him a co-conspirator.
