Berserk God of War

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: The Head of the Long Night Six Families

”That Sikong Jing, is there any way you could let us meet the Ancient Demon Dragon?” Wu Ding asked with a cheap grin on his face.

Sikong Jing was stunned for a moment before realizing how eager Qin Heng and the others were to see the Ancient Demon Dragon. As members of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, they naturally revered and worshipped powerful demon dragons.

”I’m afraid that’s not possible. I only bear its mark,” Sikong Jing replied slowly.

The so-called Ancient Demon Dragon was, in fact, the Golden Divine Dragon.

It was currently imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison. Even if it were to come out, it wouldn’t be its real body, and without special power to shield it, the Five Heavenly Emperors would detect the Golden Divine Dragon the moment it appeared.

In any case, this secret still had to be kept in the deepest recesses of their hearts, not to be disclosed to anyone.

Looking at Sikong Jing, Qin Heng and the others showed expressions of regret.

Then, they informed Sikong Jing about the establishment of the Eighth Branch and went on to explain, ”Unfortunately, Yao Changgeng, Yu Wenxiong, and several other remnants of the Xingluo Palace have not returned.”

”Had we known earlier, we would have helped you capture Yao Changgeng back at the court hunting ground.”

As Qin Heng spoke, a cold light flickered in Sikong Jing’s eyes; capturing Yao Changgeng now that he had fled would not be an easy task.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing raised his head sharply.

”No, Yu Wenxiong may not come back, but Yao Changgeng might very well return. As the Institute Master of the Alchemy Institute and a top five Pharmacist in the East Plain Northern Land, he certainly has many treasures left in the Xingluo Palace.”

Having said that, Sikong Jing flashed towards the building of the Alchemy Institute and, indeed, found a huge Alchemy Furnace inside.

Afterward, he also discovered many medicines and similar items...

Finally, Sikong Jing found a secret chamber in the innermost room, filled with alchemical texts and even more precious medicines.

At this time, Qin Heng and the others also followed him in...

Turning to them, Sikong Jing slowly said, ”We will wait here, wait for the return of Yao Changgeng.”

The others exchanged looks and nodded deeply.

As Sikong Jing, Qin Heng, and the rest waited for their prey, the Long Night Star Palace gradually settled down.

Yet, at this moment, the Long Night Imperial City was abuzz with rumors.

News of the Xingluo Palace’s defeat to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace had spread throughout the city; much of the information was disseminated by the expelled instructors and students of the Xingluo Palace.

Gradually, tales of Sikong Jing’s feats also spread.

He was incredibly powerful, having slain Peng Peng of the Xingluo General Academy. He was the one who wanted to join the Xingluo Palace but was suppressed, the one who summoned the Ancient Demon Dragon, destroying much of the Xingluo Palace and leading to its continued closure.

In the end, Sikong Jing was simply a Spirit Martial Root...

But now no one believed that, they could only say his Martial Vein talent was hidden very deep, at least too deep for the Long Night Empire to detect.

”Are the people of the Xingluo Palace fools? To just hand over such a supreme Martial Arts Genius to the Holy Dragon Palace.”

”Heh, Xingluo Palace has always been like this, always haughty. This time they truly made me laugh. They gave away a genius to the Holy Dragon Palace for nothing, and they practically handed over the entire Long Night Star Palace to the Holy Dragon Palace for free.”

”Just because they bullied someone who wanted to join them, they ended up with such a fate. The Long Night Star Palace is really too funny.”

”You can’t blame Xingluo Palace, after all, that person was a Spirit Martial Root.”

”Why can’t we blame them? Tell me, why did the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace give him a chance? To put it bluntly, the Long Night Star Palace is just too arrogant, always f***ing looking down on others.”

As more and more news spread, the Xingluo Palace became a big joke.

The affairs of the two academies also became the talk of the town at mealtimes.

...

That day, within the mansion of Prince Ji Han in the Long Night Imperial City.

Continuous cries and sobs rang out. An old man with red eyes looked at Ji Han and spoke in misery, ”Young Prince, you must find a way to avenge our Peng Peng!”

This old man was none other than the Peng Family Master from the Long Night Imperial City.

And just like Ning Jingjing’s Ning Family, the Peng Family was one of the Long Night Six Families.

They even held the position of the first family within the Six Families, with an extremely powerful background and influence. They had sent Peng Peng to the Xingluo General Academy from thousands of miles away, and he even made it onto the East Plain Thousand Tyrant List, his future was full of promise.

And yet now he was dead, killed by Sikong Jing of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

Their hatred was overwhelming, but faced with the powerful Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, even the first family of the Long Night Imperial City was helpless.

Now, the Peng Family could only seek assistance from Young Prince Ji Han, and of course, Seventh Prince Ji Ming as well.

Ji Han took a deep breath and said, ”You are putting me in a tough spot, even if my imperial brother were to intervene, it would be impossible.”

In an instant, the faces of the Peng Family members turned extremely grim, yet they knew that this matter was indeed too complicated to deal with!

”Seventh Prince, to...”

Just then, a voice from outside the Young Prince Mansion came in to report, and shortly after, Seventh Prince Ji Ming walked in, his face looking terrible.

He had just been summoned by the Long Night Emperor, regarding the chaos he caused during the life-and-death battle between the two palaces in an attempt to protect Peng Peng, the matter had been reported in full detail to the Long Night Emperor by Beigong Xianfeng.

As a result, Ji Ming was severely reprimanded by the Long Night Emperor, fortunately... he was not punished!

”Thump...”

Upon seeing Ji Ming arrive, the Peng Family members abruptly knelt down, their eyes reddened as they pleaded, ”Your Highness, Seventh Prince, we beg you to avenge our Peng’er, it seems now only you could have a way.”

At these words, Ji Ming’s expression turned even more unsightly.

He sighed deeply, his words laced with resentment as he recounted the scolding he had just received, and sighed again at the end.

”Peng Family Master, I’m truly sorry to hear about Brother Peng Peng’s death, but I’ve really done my best,” he said.

”In an attempt to save Brother Peng’s life, I even took action during the life-and-death battle between the two palaces, but alas, Old Commander Beigong pulled me back.”

”You should, grieve with restraint!”

With these words, the Peng Family members’ mouths fell open as they sat heavily on the ground.

They knew that Peng Peng had a good relationship with the Seventh Prince, and if there was a chance, the Seventh Prince would have definitely helped.

But, it seemed, there was no chance left.

”Seventh Prince, is there really no way at all?” an old woman said viciously, this person was Peng Peng’s grandmother.

Ji Ming shook his head heavily, what could he possibly do?

Even he could now only wait and see if there was any reaction from the Xingluo General Academy.

”Perhaps, I have a way!”

Just when everyone was at a loss, a somewhat airy female voice came from the surroundings.

Without thinking, everyone looked over and saw a woman dressed as a concubine, except that her face was swollen like a pig’s head.

This woman, of course, was Yan Ruyu.

The Peng Family’s old woman looked at her with disdain, ”What can you, a mere concubine, possibly do?”

The other members of the Peng Family also looked displeased, obviously looking down on Yan Ruyu, the concubine.

But Yan Ruyu didn’t seem flustered at all, her lips curling slightly upward.

All of a sudden, she looked at Ji Ming and said ominously, ”Seventh Prince, I know Sikong Jing the best, all of his family members are now in the Long Night Black Burning Army, and two have become Black-armored Soldiers.”

As soon as these words were uttered, Ji Ming, Ji Han, and the Peng Family Master all raised their heads, their eyes flashing coldly.
