Berserk God of War

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Sikong Jing is definitely not Dark Wings

Before long, a day had passed.

The Changhua Godship descended upon the Long Night Imperial City—after bidding farewell to Hua Lidian, Sikong Jing merged into the bustling streets of the city, his destination unknown to all.

What everyone did know, however, was that in three days... no, in two days Sikong Jing would cause an uproar in the most prominent family of the Long Night Imperial City!

Thanks to the prior arrival of the dozens of students from the Long Night Star Palace, the news had already begun to spread through the Imperial City, and countless people were aware of Sikong Jing’s forceful return after being expelled from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

The Long Night Imperial City, Wanbao Pavilion.

Sikong Jing quietly stepped inside and said to those present, ”I am Sikong Jing, and I wish to see Senior Brother Lang, Yisuo.”

Two hours later, Yisuo, having rushed from the Night Saint Dragon Palace, arrived at the Wanbao Pavilion.

Upon seeing him, Sikong Jing chuckled and said, ”Senior Brother Lang, help me acquire a demon beast from the Extraordinary Realm. In two days, I want to leave the top family of the Long Night Imperial City in ruins.”

Yisuo was stunned, stammering, ”Junior Brother Sikong, what kind of demon beast do you want?”

Ever since the last incident with Lang Yizhan being sent back to the headquarters of Wanbao Pavilion, Yisuo’s father, also the big boss of Wanbao Pavilion, had indeed started to take Yisuo seriously.

With a wave of his hand, he entrusted the business of Wanbao Pavilion within the Long Night Empire entirely to Yisuo’s management.

Now, it was easy for Lang Yisuo to obtain a demon beast from the Extraordinary Realm.

However, he was shocked; he had not expected Sikong Jing to aim at annihilating the number one family in the Long Night Imperial City immediately upon his appearance.

”It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s from the Extraordinary Realm. Whether it can fly or not is fine; it would be best to have it done today,” Sikong Jing said with a shrug, not particularly caring about the type of beast.

As long as it was a demon beast, and as long as it did not exceed the Extraordinary Realm, he could easily conquer it.

Sikong Jing, having recently developed his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness, could conquer demon beasts across a whole Great Realm without worrying about backlash.

Sikong Jing aimed to use a demon beast from the Extraordinary Realm to boost his combat capability since it was unrealistic to expect to obliterate the top family in the Long Night Imperial City single-handedly.

”I understand...”

Yisuo nodded profoundly, then paused and added, ”Junior Brother Sikong, there seems to be one at the old site of Xingluo Palace.”

However, Sikong Jing shook his head and said, ”Since I have been temporarily expelled from the Saint Dragon Palace, I must not have any further association with it, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

The old site of the Xingluo Palace had become the Eighth Branch of the Saint Dragon Palace, and Sikong Jing did not want to be involved.

Just like he could see Emperor Ji Shengmang if he wished just by asking Shen Qingye to take him, Ji Tan’s behind-the-scenes power would not be enough to stop Shen Qingye.

But it won’t do if it won’t do; he doesn’t want to be involved if he doesn’t want to be involved...

Sikong Jing insisted on seeing his actions through from beginning to end.

With that, Yisuo affirmed his understanding and quickly mobilized the power of Wanbao Pavilion to identify and acquire the nearest and most accessible demon beast from the Extraordinary Realm.

...

Meanwhile, at the Prince Manor, as Sikong Jing was waiting in the Wanbao Pavilion,

Ji Tan looked at the ferocious-looking man before him and asked in a low voice, ”You’re related to Eunuch Zou; you say Sikong Jing appeared on the Changhua Godship and that he singlehandedly slaughtered over a dozen instructors from Xingluo Palace?”

”Yes, Your Highness!”

That man was none other than Zou Fu, the thug from the Changhua.

Upon disembarking, he had rushed straight to the Prince Manor. Normally, given his status, Ji Tan would not have granted him an audience; indeed, he was just one of the many spreaders of Chang Yusu’s publicity, a small fish among many.

But mentions of Sikong Jing immediately captured Ji Tan’s attention, prompting him to summon Zou Fu.

”Give me the details...” said Ji Tan.

Zou Fu immediately detailed what had happened aboard the Changhua Godship to Ji Tan, and finally, he brown-nosed further, ”Your Highness, as soon as Sikong Jing heard I was working for you, he didn’t dare to let out a peep and let me go.”

As he spoke, he embellished the story, making Sikong Jing seem extremely friendly and wary of Ji Tan.

Upon hearing this, Ji Tan’s eyes lit up, ”Is that true?”

”Of course, it’s true, Your Highness! Everyone on the Changhua Godship can testify to it...”

”Your Highness, you are like the sun in the sky; even a formidable Martial Arts genius like Sikong Jing wouldn’t dare offend you!”

Zou Fu continued to flatter extravagantly, listening to Ji Tan laugh heartily, thoroughly delighted.

Of course, it wasn’t Zou Fu’s flattery that caused this, but rather Sikong Jing’s attitude towards him, and he finally waved his hand grandiosely, ”Go receive your reward, and then stay and work in my mansion!”

Hearing this, Zou Fu’s smile became even brighter, and after repeatedly kneeling to thank Ji Tan, he withdrew.

Ji Tan, with a lift of his mouth, muttered to himself, ”Sikong Jing, oh Sikong Jing, you’re truly terrifying, able to slay a dozen tutors from the Long Night Star Palace, and even planning to challenge Peng Peng’s older martial sister and the first family of the Long Night Imperial City in two days.”

”But you never imagined that I’d use you from afar to eliminate the Beigong Vanguard.”

Thinking of this, Ji Tan grew more and more complacent; his tactics were impeccable, if not for the Dark Wings...

His face darkened as he thought of the Dark Wings.

Eight days had passed, and there was still no word from the Dark Wings, and his father, the Emperor, hadn’t met with any young man either.

Thud, thud, thud...

Suddenly, hurried footsteps arose, and Yan Ruyu rushed in, gasping for air as she knelt before Ji Tan, then said gravely, ”Your Highness, I believe I know who the Dark Wings are.”

At these words, Ji Tan bolted upright, asking in a low voice, ”Who?”

”Sikong Jing...”

Yan Ruyu coolly uttered three words, causing Ji Tan to pause, then he inquired further, ”Explain, why do you think so?”

”I have three reasons.”

”First, when Sikong Jing was in the Canglong Small Domain, he was the Invincible God General, an unbeatable presence on the battlefield, hence he could subdue the Long Night Black Burning Army and even approach Netherworld City with his troops in a short period of time.”

Yan Ruyu spoke ominously, having already been informed of the events that unfolded in the Youyuan Twelve States after Ji Tan’s return.

In order to garner further trust from Ji Tan, Yan Ruyu feverishly analyzed the identity of Dark Wings.

”Second, he has a very good relationship with Ning Jingjing.”

”Third, he can come and go freely within the Long Night Black Burning Camp, and, at the time of Ji Ming’s death, he was with seven hundred guards, which must have been the seven hundred Wolf Guards who lost to the Beigong Vanguard.”

As she spoke, Yan Ruyu looked up at Ji Tan, her eyes filled with certainty.

She had thought a lot in the past two days, increasingly convinced that Sikong Jing was Dark Wings; Dark Wings was Sikong Jing.

Meanwhile, Ji Tan slowly approached her, step by step, reaching out to grab her chin. Then, as Yan Ruyu was about to enjoy the forthcoming praise... Smack!

Ji Tan slapped her fiercely, sending Yan Ruyu flying away.

Yan Ruyu, utterly stunned, covered her face and looked up incredulously, ”Your Highness, why did you hit me?”

”Sikong Jing is definitely not Dark Wings!”

The coldness in Ji Tan’s voice reached its apex, ”First, what kind of backwater is the Canglong Small Domain?”

”Even if Sikong Jing could lead troops to sweep through your homeland, it’s entirely different from leading the Long Night Black Burning Army. What does he have to subdue the Long Night Black Burning Army or advance to the gates of Netherworld City?”

”And what does he have to stand against Lu Lungan?”
