Berserk God of War

Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Sky Wolf Team Member, Please Take a Seat

Inside the Energy Gathering Manor, a middle-aged man worriedly asked, ”Deacon Ba, is there really no problem with this matter?”

The middle-aged man was Master Lu, the Gathering Energy Manor Master, and opposite him stood a slightly sly-looking man, around thirty years old. He was Ba Xiaoshan, the executor of the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace incident.

He patted his chest and laughed, ”No problem at all. Master Lu can simply keep the item well hidden.”

”This matter was instructed by a super influential person from the East Dominator Branch, and the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is just the beginning of it. When the situation escalates further, no one will pay attention to the whereabouts of this ancient furnace.”

This was all Ba Xiaoshan, the small Deacon, knew. He was completely unaware it was used by Li Feng to suppress Sikong Jing.

He was even more unaware that after being directed, an order had been issued to capture him alive.

Though Lu Ju was full of worry, the thought of acquiring the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace, something he had dreamed of, with minimal cost, dissolved his fears, leaving him excited.

At this moment, Ba Xiaoshan added, ”If Master Lu is afraid, I’ll temporarily stay within your Gathering Manor. If anything does happen, just blame it on me and you can push me out.”

The auction was set for tomorrow evening. He had taken leave for these two days and was staying directly at Gathering Manor.

He was absolutely certain there wouldn’t be any problem. This was a big event orchestrated by a major figure from East Dominator, serving as a welfare for himself.

Moreover, the secret director he received instructions from was terrifying, leaving him without a choice.

Lu Ju then completely relaxed, chuckling lightly, ”Alright, Deacon Ba.”

”Just rest here at Gathering Manor until the auction. Haha, I’ve just brought over a little princess from a small domain in the East Plain Minglong Mountain Range. She’ll be sent to your room immediately.”

”This evening, Deacon Ba can enjoy himself here in my Gathering Manor.”

Upon hearing these words, Ba Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed with anticipation.

The East Plain Minglong Mountain Range had many small domains, and the little princesses there were in high demand. Typically, someone like him, a small Deacon, would have a hard time acquiring one, but Lu Ju... was really accommodating!

Thus, Ba Xiaoshan was cheerfully led by the manor’s servants to a room in the back courtyard.

Meanwhile, Lu Ju dashed to the hall entrance and looked both ways along the corridor before quickly shutting all doors and windows, returning to the center of the hall filled with excitement.

Finally, he adjusted the lights to the brightest setting.

Taking a deep breath, a gleam sparkled from his hand, and an ancient furnace suddenly appeared on the table.

The ancient furnace had two Cloud Gathering Beasts engraved on it. It was the stolen item for tomorrow night’s auction, the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace.

Lu Ju stared intently at the ancient furnace, then circled around it, continuously evaluating.

”Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.”

”I never thought I, Lu Ju, would actually obtain this ancient furnace. Once I comprehend its secrets, I can break through to the Spirit Movement Realm.”

The Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace contained a cultivation technique altered from the Emperor Martial Stage Cloud Gathering Beast meridian: the Cloud Gathering Technique!

Lu Ju was cultivating the incomplete Cloud Gathering Technique; once he comprehended the secrets within the ancient furnace, he could possess the complete Cloud Gathering Technique. Breakthroughs at that point would be effortlessly achieved.

The complete Cloud Gathering Technique was at the Lower Emperor Grade, a treasure that couldn’t be acquired even by selling hundreds of Energy Gathering Manors.

”It’s a good item, but you need to survive to enjoy it.”

Just as Lu Ju was about to start his comprehension, a cold voice eerily echoed in the fully enclosed hall.

”Who?”

Instantly, Lu Ju’s whole body’s hair stood on end, exclaiming in shock.

He then instinctively moved to store the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace in his storage space.

Yet at that moment, his hand grasped nothing but air. His eyes widened as the ancient furnace appeared to float away from his grasp, landing ten meters ahead.

Next, a peculiar figure gradually emerged behind the ancient furnace.

Before him appeared a young man in black whom he had never seen before.

”What swift movement technique! Who are you? Return the furnace to me!” Lu Ju’s True Qi erupted and moved to strike the young man.

But then, the black-clad youth stepped onto the ancient furnace and slowly spoke, ”If you want to expose the theft, then burst your True Qi and draw the entire manor’s people here.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ju immediately ceased the release of his True Qi, instead gathering it within an inch of his body.

Afterward, he stared at the black-clad youth before him, coldly questioning, ”Who exactly are you?”

The black-clad youth raised his eyelids slightly, calmly replying, ”East Dominator Sky Wolf Team, Sikong Jing!”

Those words instantly cooled the entire hall, Lu Ju’s eyes locked in place, his legs slowly starting to shake, teeth chattering, producing a ”kaa kaa kaa” sound.

Clearly, he was terrified, terrified to the point of collapse.

After a while, he knelt down with a thud, expressions crazed with pleading, ”It’s not my fault, it’s that bastard Ba Xiaoshan’s doing. He said it was directed by a super influential person to steal this, that it’s something internal East Dominator Branch wants to do.”

Facing a team from the East Dominator Branch, even if only one person, Lu Ju wouldn’t dare retaliate. He could only beg repeatedly.

”Oh? So Ba Xiaoshan said this?” Sikong Jing coldly asked.

Lu Ju gulped audibly and recounted everything Ba Xiaoshan had said about a super influential person from the East Dominator Branch instructing him to do something big.

Even Ba Xiaoshan didn’t know what the big event was.

After hearing this, Sikong Jing smiled slightly, ”I see. But the orders I received were...”

After a pause, Sikong Jing tossed over the task scroll he demanded from Yang Yi. Lu Ju swiftly grabbed it and glanced at its contents, then slumped to the ground.

”No, no way, I’m innocent!”

”Even if I’m guilty, it’s not a grave crime, not warranting death. I really thought I was helping the influential people of the East Dominator Branch.”

”I want to confront Ba Xiaoshan’s backer. I’ve never offended him!”

Lu Ju’s voice carried madness, his whole body lunging again at Sikong Jing.

Next moment, Sikong Jing calmly said, ”You’d better restrain your True Qi further; otherwise, there’ll be no chance of remedy.”

Immediately, Lu Ju paused, withdrawing his True Qi. He stared blankly at Sikong Jing and asked, ”There’s still an opportunity for remedy?”

He believed the team’s deployment was merely about executing orders without mercy, hence his initial resistance.

If there was a chance for remedy, then naturally, he wanted to hear how it could be remedied.

”I want to know who the influential person behind Ba Xiaoshan is?” Sikong Jing asked, staring at him, ”Ba Xiaoshan chose you, or rather, the person behind him chose you. You should be familiar with them, right?”

Lu Ju paused, then stared fixedly at Sikong Jing.

Suddenly, he slowly regained composure and began to smile cunningly. He summoned over two chairs with his hands, sat first, and said, ”Sky Wolf Team member, please take a seat.”

Lu Ju’s voice became unexpectedly clear and bright.

And Sikong Jing, slightly surprised, squinted his eyes and sat down, scrutinizing Lu Ju up and down.

This manor master changed his mood quickly.
