Berserk God of War

Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Cloud Gathering Technique

Thus, Sikong Jing asked quietly again, ”Is there anything else?”

”That’s all I know.”

Lu Ju gently shook his head and said, ”Of course, there might still be Zhong Yang behind Zhong Pu. He is the uncle of Zhong Yujun and the person in charge of the Judger and tomorrow night’s auction.”

In an instant, Sikong Jing’s eyes gleamed, and he memorized the name Zhong Yang.

”Oh, I just remembered something small.”

”Not long ago, I accidentally offended Zhong Yang, which might be the reason why I was chosen to be sent to my death.”

Sikong Jing’s eyes were cold as he completely memorized Zhong Yang’s name.

Previously, Lu Ju said he never offended any big shots behind Ba Xiaoshan, and Sikong Jing was also puzzled as to why Lu Ju was chosen to die.

One must know that Li Feng’s order was to directly kill Lu Ju.

It’s not like bringing in an innocent person to kill is unheard of, but it’s still rare.

Previously, Sikong Jing told Yang Yi to start with Lu Ju to find out exactly which figure Lu Ju offended in the East Overlord Chamber of Commerce, and the person who was offended was highly likely the real planner behind this incident.

The one giving orders was Li Feng, but he certainly wouldn’t handle this matter personally, so there must be a middle-level person planning it.

Now it can basically be confirmed that it’s Zhong Yang.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing suddenly asked: ”Master Lu, are you so sure the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is genuine?”

With these words, Lu Ju shuddered violently.

He stared intently at the ancient furnace under Sikong Jing’s foot and said, ”Of course it’s real. I cultivate the Cloud Gathering Technique, and I can feel the aura of the technique from the furnace.”

Then, he explained why he was so fond of the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace.

”It turns out this ancient furnace contains a lower Emperor Grade cultivation technique.”

Sikong Jing only knew of this now, but to this day, he still couldn’t completely verify the authenticity of the ancient furnace.

After all, everything was speculation; perhaps the task was real, or perhaps Li Feng had other means.

So Sikong Jing reached out his hand and gently touched the ancient furnace. After three breaths, he slightly curled his lips and said, ”It seems my guess was correct; this furnace is indeed a fake, just as I suspected.”

He had just sensed the ancient furnace and confirmed it was indeed a counterfeit.

So Li Feng’s method to trap him was to wait until the Sky Wolf Team handed the fake ancient furnace to the auction house, then identify it on the spot as fake, thus placing great guilt on the Sky Wolf Team.

One must know that the auction represents the Overlord Commerce’s integrity.

”Impossible, I just said the furnace carries the aura of the Cloud Gathering Technique, it can’t be fake.”

Lu Ju’s voice refuted, heavily interrupting Sikong Jing’s thoughts...

The latter raised his head slightly and then lightly picked up the ancient furnace with his foot, held it in his hand, wiped it, and threw it back to Lu Ju, saying, ”Look again, is there still the aura of the Cloud Gathering Technique?”

Lu Ju froze and then sensed it with his mind, standing dumbfounded on the spot.

Thud...

The ancient furnace hit the ground heavily, and he said dumbfoundedly, ”Fake, it’s actually a counterfeit. How can this be?”

Sikong Jing certainly wouldn’t explain that this was Li Feng’s trick.

Lu Ju looked up and asked again, ”How did you do it? Even I didn’t notice. How did you erase the aura of the Cloud Gathering Technique from it?”

This time, Sikong Jing still wouldn’t explain, as the Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts, he could naturally erase it.

To make it look authentic, the furnace had indeed been imbued with some aura of the Cloud Gathering Technique, but it was a cultivation technique modified by the demon power meridians of the Cloud Gathering Beast, so Sikong Jing could easily absorb the aura to resolve it...

If it was a genuine ancient furnace, Sikong Jing would certainly be able to instantly see the Cloud Gathering Technique engraved on it!

Without the presence of the Cloud Gathering Technique, it was undoubtedly a fake.

”Alright, I’ve almost figured things out. Now, I have one more request.” Sikong Jing slowly stood up.

The color on Lu Ju’s face remained one of unwillingness and resentment. He felt used and manipulated by Zhong Pu and others behind Ba Xiaoshan. They endangered his life and provided a fake product. What a bastard!

As for Sikong Jing not explaining his question, Lu Ju was naturally helpless.

In the end, he could only ask back, ”What request do you have?”

”Your Cloud Gathering Technique.” Sikong Jing said calmly.

Lu Ju’s face changed dramatically, but he quickly concealed it and said, ”A mere remnant technique, it’s of no use to your team, is it?”

For a team, even obtaining the complete Cloud Gathering Technique isn’t that difficult, so why want a remnant technique?

”It is useful to me.” Sikong Jing still gave no explanation.

Ultimately, Lu Ju took a deep breath and handed over the Green Jade Tube containing the Cloud Gathering Technique. His life and future were now all in the hands of the Sky Wolf Team, and he dared not resist in the slightest.

Sikong Jing took the Cloud Gathering Technique and casually stored it within the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl.

At the same time, he also stored the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace inside.

After finishing, Sikong Jing turned and said, ”Open the formation, and I will report everything to our captain as it is, and he will handle the matter properly.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ju could only unlock the formation, then watched Sikong Jing’s back with complex feelings.

Suddenly, wild thoughts filled his mind...

”Once you leave, I’ll immediately send someone to find Zhong Pu. Your Sky Wolf Team seems to be a team that attracts hate; there’s no way I’ll pin my life entirely on you.”

Of course, Lu Ju would only send someone, also not daring to pin his life on Zhong Pu.

After all, Zhong Pu wanted him dead; the threat he would send was to warn that the Sky Wolf Team had already discovered his secrets and crimes, then look for bigger means to secure his life.

The best would be to get the genuine Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace...

Heh, heh, and finally get the Overlord Commerce’s rival, Shiyu Commerce, involved for even more security.

Thunk...

Just as Lu Ju’s thoughts were running wild, he suddenly heard a clear sound of flesh being pierced, so close to his ear that he instinctively looked down.

He saw a sword impaled in his heart, with his blood flowing down the sword.

Lu Ju looked up in disbelief, seeing Sikong Jing, who had seemingly left, now standing in front of him.

The life-taking sword was his!

At this moment, Sikong Jing said gently, ”Master Lu, I told you that a moment of carelessness might get you killed by me.”

Wow...

Lu Ju spat a mouthful of blood, dumbfoundedly asking, ”Why? I clearly told you everything, and you even promised not to kill me, that you’d ensure my safety.”

He stared wildly at Sikong Jing, this Golden Body Realm assassin was truly terrifying, too cruel!

”Weren’t you thinking about sending someone to find Zhong Pu after I left? But I didn’t want to alert them prematurely, otherwise, wouldn’t asking Ba Xiaoshan directly be clearer and more straightforward?” Sikong Jing said coldly.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Ju spat another mouthful of blood, ”You could have just had someone watch me!”

”However, the order we received from the Sky Wolf Team was... to kill you.” Sikong Jing’s voice still carried a smile.

”You, you, you... so ruthless, are you still human? I was innocently implicated!”

Lu Ju’s eyes began to glaze, his voice hoarse as he cursed Sikong Jing madly.

And at this moment, Sikong Jing’s gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

”Originally, you could have survived, but then you decided to mess with the little princess of the Minglong Mountain Range’s Small Domain, didn’t you? And brought quite a few slaves from the Small Domain, didn’t you? So, you deserve to die!”

Pfft...

Sikong Jing withdrew his sword, and Lu Ju fell softly, tremulously asking, ”Do you know that little princess?”
