Berserk God of War

Sikong Jing did not continue to emphasize who he was.

He then looked at Fu Miaoling with a face full of disbelief and asked again, ”Forget it, let’s put the folded space aside for now.”

”I’m also very curious now, how do you plan to take your Fu Family out of the Holy Craftsman Mountain’s control?”

”Logic dictates that as long as you throw the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird to Qianwang Holy Tower, they will definitely rescue you.”

”Why, then, haven’t you told Qianwang Holy Tower?”

This was a question that Sikong Jing couldn’t quite understand, or perhaps he understood but wanted Fu Miaoling’s confirmation.

Previously, You Yao from the old district mentioned that Fu Miaoling’s stringless musical instrument was intended to use Qianwang Holy Tower to escape, and if Fu Miaoling wasn’t a Thousand Prison Tower chess piece, it would indeed be difficult to contact people from Qianwang Holy Tower.

But now she clearly is a chess piece and has clearly been in contact with people from Qianwang Holy Tower.

Why not tell this secret to Qianwang Holy Tower and thereby exchange it for a chance to escape the Holy Craftsman Mountain?

Evidently, Fu Miaoling hasn’t disclosed that the Mechanical Messenger Birds are crafted by her Fu Family to Qianwang Holy Tower, or else the latter would’ve long rescued the Fu Family, waiting until now is unnecessary.

With Sikong Jing’s words, Fu Miaoling opened her mouth again, still staring at Sikong Jing.

Her mind was somewhat in chaos, and instead of answering, she countered, ”How do you know the secret of crafting the Mechanical Messenger Bird?”

To this, Sikong Jing naturally conveyed truthfully...

That is, it was informed by a small power that has long been in Fire Artisan City, and he then gently spoke.

”My luck is quite good.”

”This small power I encountered happened to be suppressed by Holy Craftsman Mountain, had just sought refuge with Overlord Commerce, happened to know these secrets and wanted to undermine the Holy Craftsman You Family a bit, and thus told me.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Miaoling was skeptical...

Finally, she murmured, ”Turns out there are people in Fire Artisan City who know these things, this small power might not be as simple as just a small power, possibly descendants of the Fu Family Guards who escaped Holy Craftsman Mountain three centuries ago.”

”Turns out, they also seek an opportunity to save us from calamity...”

Listening to Fu Miaoling’s low murmurs, Sikong Jing recognized it internally.

These secrets even Qianwang Holy Tower couldn’t uncover, yet he easily knew them, perhaps Black Copper Manor is indeed the descendants of the Fu Family Guards, they might also use the rise of Overlord Commerce to rescue the Fu Family...

However, Sikong Jing did not dwell on these matters. Anyway, he now understood the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird.

Thus, Sikong Jing asked again, ”Returning to the previous question, why haven’t you told Qianwang Holy Tower?”

At this moment, Fu Miaoling’s whole body jolted...

She stared directly at Sikong Jing, slowly put down the dagger in her hand, but in the next instant... buzz!

The dagger suddenly disappeared from her hand, space folded instantly...

Almost within one percent of a blink, the dagger appeared at Sikong Jing’s brow, about to stab fiercely.

However... clang!

Sikong Jing’s fingers somehow had already stopped by his brow, pinching Fu Miaoling’s dagger, causing it to emit a series of tremors, its tip brimming with terrifying killing intent.

Opposite, the killing intent in Fu Miaoling’s eyes matched the dagger, sharp to the extreme.

But upon seeing Sikong Jing’s fingers pinch the dagger, her eyes slowly dimmed, yet she did not panic, instead heavily sitting on the bed behind her, showing Sikong Jing an extremely cold expression.

Sikong Jing then slowly put down the dagger, full of confusion, and asked, ”Why suddenly try to kill me?”

This left Sikong Jing a bit bewildered, asking about Qianwang Holy Tower led to attempted murder.

Fu Miaoling, isn’t that a bit too random?

Just then, Fu Miaoling couldn’t help but sneer...

”Because I can’t trust your Qianwang Holy Tower, you can imprison my brother in the Thousand Prison Tower to torture him, you can use my brother’s life to torment me, you are unscrupulous...”

”So even if I sided with you, it merely pushes my Fu Family from this abyss into another abyss.”

As the voice fell, Sikong Jing was stunned on the spot, I just said I’m unaffiliated.

When did I become a person from Qianwang Holy Tower?

But it makes sense, my constant questioning of why she hasn’t told Qianwang Holy Tower, uncovering such a secret.

Truly resembles someone sent by Qianwang Holy Tower.

As Sikong Jing reached this thought, Fu Miaoling added coldly, ”During my time in this so-called place of revelry, I haven’t been idle; I’m well aware of Qianwang Holy Tower’s conduct.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing certainly empathized, nodding heavily.

But he asked curiously, ”If you kill Qianwang’s Envoy, aren’t you afraid your brother in Thousand Prison Tower...”

Before he finished speaking, Fu Miaoling shrugged...

She forcefully interrupted, ”Of course not afraid, what do I have to fear? Only I can create the strongest Mechanical Messenger Bird; if I kill you, Qianwang Holy Tower will continue to send people.”

”I am unique, and if I’m dead, my brother might inherit the legacy, he too is unique.”

”Though I failed in assassinating you now...”

”So, Lord Envoy, how do you plan to deal with me?”

As Fu Miaoling spoke, her eyes narrowed fiercely, she was clearly in a desperate posture.

To this, Sikong Jing still didn’t reply, instead, continued to sort out Fu Miaoling’s situation, finally fully understanding her thoughts. Although she is a Thousand Prison Tower chess piece, she’s quite rebellious.

Perhaps because she hasn’t been a chess piece for long, or perhaps because she’s unique.

In any case, she wants to escape the Holy Craftsman Mountain to save the Fu Family, yet she doesn’t want to directly rely on Qianwang Holy Tower... or rather, she doesn’t want the Fu Family to fall entirely into Qianwang Holy Tower’s hands, hence her behavior.

But what’s strange is, despite not wanting to side with Qianwang Holy Tower, why suddenly perform the stringless ethereal melody?

She, whom does she wish to attract?

”Overlord Commerce...”

Suddenly, four big words flashed in Sikong Jing’s mind.

Fu Miaoling intends to attract Overlord Commerce’s attention; she wants to take a gamble to see if Overlord Commerce can save the Fu Family.

As a woman in this place of revelry, she’s privy to many messages.

She’s surely heard much about Overlord Commerce and trusts them more, wanting to leverage today’s chaotic era for a thread of hope for the Holy Craftsman Fu Family.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but... clap clap clap!

He applauded, although he had already seen Fu Miaoling’s integrity, her desperate effort still earned Sikong Jing’s immense respect.

Fu Miaoling stared at the applauding Sikong Jing, frowned unconsciously.

Then, she deeply inhaled and said, ”How exactly do you intend to handle me? My condition is simple: as long as you take my Fu Family out and find a scenic place for us, I’ll serve Qianwang Holy Tower completely.”

As she said this, her gaze dimmed slightly again.

The plan had just begun and already failed; joining the Righteous Sect’s Overlord Commerce was unthinkable now, she was caught by the terrifying Qianwang Holy Tower holding onto her secret, she now desperately must fight to grant the Fu Family a chance to survive.
