Berserk God of War

Chapter 705: Chapter 705: My Achievements Are Unparalleled, What Position Am I In

At the same time, several experts from the Wangyou Sect tensely watched Ji Shengmang, fearing he would utter the three words ”Sikong Jing.” Should he dare to speak, they would preemptively strike and kill.

Even if punished by the Young Sect Master, they must kill first.

Ji Shengmang’s mind was in utter chaos, truly faced with death... should he pronounce Sikong Jing?

Perhaps by doing so, Wang Ge might spare his life, but rumor had it that she would lose her power and die.

After struggling for a long time, Ji Shengmang eventually slowly closed his eyes.

He silently sighed deeply; he could not fail Sikong Jing, whether it was waiting for Sikong Jing’s return to counter Ji Tan or owing to the kindness of Beigong Old Commander and himself, he could not dishonor them.

Moreover, even if Wang Ge were to lose her power, he would not possibly have a way to survive.

Thud...

The next instant, Sikong Ling’s sword pierced through Ji Shengmang’s chest, and the latter’s eyes widened before he fell straight down. Eunuch Zou immediately stepped forward to check, nodding at Ji Tan after a few breaths.

This nod naturally confirmed that Ji Shengmang was thoroughly dead, causing Ji Tan to burst into laughter.

He gave Wang Ge a fist salute, exchanged a few polite words, then left with Yan Ruyu.

Before leaving, he added, ”Young Sect Master, once I handle what follows, I will inevitably order the annihilation of the entire Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, to avenge... Mo Ci Sect Master.”

Simultaneously, Yan Ruyu stared intently at Sikong Ling, her brow deeply furrowed.

She still wanted to know the exact nature of the relationship between Wang Ge and Sikong Jing, but she dared not speak or ask.

In a blink, only the several experts of the Wangyou Sect were left in the room.

There was also Eunuch Zou, who was preparing to deal with the body, Ji Shengmang’s corpse, and Sikong Ling.

An expert from the Wangyou Sect exhaled deeply and asked, ”Young Sect Master, can we go back to our rooms now?”

No sooner had they spoken than Sikong Ling’s lips slightly curved.

Suddenly, she rolled up in front of Eunuch Zou and with a push of her palm, released a blast of palm wind. The latter’s eyes widened as he thudded to his knees, his body instantly rolling with chilly air, shivering incessantly.

Eunuch Zou trembled incredulously, trying to ask something but was too cold to speak.

”Young Sect Master, what are you doing?” a few Wangyou Sect experts were also stunned, instinctively asking.

However, Sikong Ling’s lips curled again, swish, swish, swish...

She disappeared on the spot, turning into multiple illusions, and in an instant, the several Wangyou Sect experts followed in Eunuch Zou’s footsteps.

They knelt down directly, their bodies shivering as cold engulfed them.

They also widened their eyes in shock. How could the Young Sect Master’s combat power be so fearsome?

Eunuch Zou is a First Realm Inquiry, and all of them are in the extraordinary fifth realm.

The Second Elder, specifically assigned to watch over the Young Sect Master, believed they were capable. After all, the Young Sect Master was only in the extraordinary third realm. Yet, with just a few illusions, she had subdued them all.

They couldn’t believe it, and with the Young Sect Master’s sudden attack, what was she trying to do?

At that moment, Sikong Ling silently returned to Ji Shengmang’s corpse and chuckled, saying, ”Long Night Emperor, you can get up now.”

At this revelation, Eunuch Zou and the others shook uncontrollably, their mouths agape.

And Ji Shengmang also slowly sat up.

He stared at Sikong Ling in disbelief... The sword strike he had just endured was supposed to be fatal, but after he fell, he suddenly realized that there was a force within the Sword Qi protecting his heart.

It placed him in a state of feigned death for a moment, yet he did not understand why Wang Ge had done this. Why had she saved him?

”Do you know why I saved you?” Sikong Ling’s cold voice slowly rose.

After seeing Ji Shengmang shake his head, Sikong Ling continued to explain, ”Because even at the brink of death, you did not betray my brother Sikong Jing’s name. You felt you should not wrong my brother, could not let him suffer.”

”So, your relationship with my brother must be good, right?”

As these words echoed, the room seemed to plunge into a crazy chill and silence.

Several Wangyou Sect masters in the room were dumbfounded. How did the Young Sect Master know, and why hadn’t her powers broken?

At the same time, Eunuch Zou was gnashing his teeth violently, trembling more fiercely.

Ji Shengmang could hardly believe it either. Wang Ge and Sikong Jing were siblings, and he had survived due to his thought of not betraying Sikong Jing. Was what Wang Ge cultivated really the ”Supreme Forget Love Technique”?

”Let me introduce myself. My name is Sikong Ling, and I am Sikong Jing’s younger sister.”

Sikong Ling said with a smile, then she tilted her head slightly and added, ”Next, you deal with this Old Eunuch, and I’ll handle these few Wangyou Sect elders. Then we’ll wait together for my brother to arrive.”

”My brother should have already arrived.”

After speaking, Sikong Ling sweetly smiled again and then turned to walk towards the few Wangyou Sect masters, innocently asking: ”I wonder if you elders still acknowledge me as your Young Sect Master?”

She blinked her large eyes, but the few Wangyou Sect masters already felt a chilling dread.

Ji Shengmang took a deep breath, gazing at Sikong Ling’s retreating figure with admiration and quickly calming down. He then raised his eyes to Eunuch Zou and stalked over, his voice full of murderous intent, ”Either the entire clan is executed, or you die alone.”

Eunuch Zou trembled violently, eventually kneeling down like a lump of mud.

At the same time, the trembling Wangyou Sect masters asked, ”Young Sect Master, since you’ve acknowledged your brother, why haven’t your powers broken?”

Adoration flashed in Sikong Ling’s eyes as she proudly replied, ”Because my brother is super powerful.”

...

Time passed by gradually, and Ji Shengmang’s room calmed down temporarily.

At that time, a mighty voice of Ji Tanhao suddenly sounded: ”The former emperor passed away, and the whole nation mourned. But rewards are due for merits. Now, as emperor, I will first reward the meritorious subjects for their victories in the Youyuan Twelve States.”

”Subsequently, we will hold the funeral rites for the former emperor.”

With his voice, the entire Imperial City appeared extremely solemn. Discussing merits and rewards was critical to warming the hearts of the subjects, letting them know the importance, with the former emperor’s mourning scheduled afterwards to showcase the importance of the new emperor Ji Tan’s loyal ministers.

This was also the advice given by Yan Ruyu, which Ji Tan was very pleased with.

Following that, the sounds of granting rewards continuously spread across the Imperial City, and as expected, Cheng Yusu became the biggest beneficiary, seamlessly becoming the Great Marshal of the Long Night Empire.

Cao Yi and other Vice Commanders also received their rewards, but they were temporarily tasked with defending the city and quelling rebellions, hence not entering the palace to claim their rewards.

Inside the Ye Emperor Hall, silence pervaded...

The positions of the ministers began to shift, with those aligned with Ji Tan’s power moving forward, smiling broadly, while those not in Ji Tan’s faction paled and retreated, likely facing their doom.

At that moment, Ji Tan, clad in the Dragon Robe, stood at the highest place in the Ye Emperor Hall.

He watched everything within the hall with utmost satisfaction, pride clearly written on his face, then his expression turned to one of sorrow as he said, ”Alright, positions are set, rewards granted. Next, for the former emperor...”

Before he could finish, a cold voice suddenly emanated from outside the Ye Emperor Hall...

”Wait a moment. Given my supreme achievements, what reward should I receive, and what should be my position?”
