Berserk God of War

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Mysterious Old Man, Mutual Probing

”I’ve been searching here for several days, but I just can’t find any clues,”

”Logically, Mom and Dad should have left us something, but there’s nothing.”

”Moreover, we just can’t get out, which is really strange.”

Sikong Ling blinked her large eyes, finding it suspicious that such a secret space was left without anything in it, and not allowing them to leave—she wondered whether this place really belonged to her parents...

Otherwise, why would there be no way out?

Sikong Jing was also completely puzzled, his thoughts quietly reaching out to the entire mysterious space.

Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he stepped in front of Sikong Ling, squinting his eyes and said coldly, ”It’s not that Mom and Dad won’t let us out, but someone has tampered with this space.”

As soon as these words came out, the originally pleasant little space suddenly became gloomy, as if a cold wind howled past.

Sikong Ling’s face changed drastically, her eyes widening in disbelief.

At that moment, Sikong Jing looked up at the dense tree and slowly said, ”I’ve already found you, come out.”

”Ah...”

A light sigh rose from the tree, followed by a figure slowly drifting down. It was an old man with half-white hair, his face somewhat gaunt and pale.

His white beard was unkempt.

His clothes were also disheveled, giving off a scruffy appearance.

After landing, he squinted his eyes and stared at Sikong Jing, then said, ”The kid is pretty capable, both of us are in the Extraordinary Third Realm, but your sister hasn’t noticed me for days. How did you find me?”

Sikong Jing’s eyes were wary. He did not know who the elder was but knew that he was probably another top-notch expert on the level of a Blood Refining Ancestor, although he did not feel any malice or intent to kill from him.

Therefore, Sikong Jing was very calm.

”I not only found you, but I also know that you are seriously injured and have been afflicted with a terrible Beast Poison.”

In fact, Sikong Jing was able to find the old man not because his thoughts were particularly powerful, but because of the Beast Poison.

Sikong Jing had just smelled the terrifying scent of a demon beast, and although the old man had hidden it very deeply, it could not escape his Master of Ten Thousand Beasts’ sense of smell. Following the scent with the Spiritual Platform Sea Power, he naturally discovered the old man’s presence.

The old man was stunned at these words, and then his gaze suddenly turned cold.

”Hmph, talking big without a draft. You probably have some kind of treasure that’s tracking me, don’t you?”

”From your conversation just now, it can be heard that you are locals of this Small Domain.”

”But now, you must have joined some major Central Plains Force, haven’t you?”

It was evident that the old man didn’t believe Sikong Jing’s words at all, thinking that Sikong Jing had discovered him because of a tracking treasure.

Taken aback, Sikong Qing didn’t understand what was meant by these words.

After a moment of thought, Sikong Jing’s eyes sparkled, and he lifted his head to reply, ”You don’t believe it?”

Vaguely, he had guessed who the old man might be, but he needed to test and probe further.

The old man scoffed and said, ”Young man, your abilities and talents are quite impressive...”

”Your parents’ ability to open up such a ’Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm’ is also no ordinary feat, but this habit of boasting is not good, and it includes your own sister too.”

Facing Sikong Jing, the old man showed a sense of strange disdain.

Blinking, Sikong Ling said with some anger, ”Ridiculous, what has my brother boasted about to me?”

She simply didn’t believe that her brother would deliberately boast. Although sometimes he deceived her, all those lies were benign.

”He just lied to you, claiming he killed the Blood Refining Ancestor... Utterly ridiculous. Is the Blood Refining Ancestor someone he can kill?” The elder laughed coldly, seemingly very pleased with uncovering Sikong Jing’s lie.

But in the next moment, Sikong Jing used his right hand to undo his clothing, revealing a blood-red bead.

The elder’s previously smug look slowly turned to shock, and it took him a while to exclaim in disbelief, ”The Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl?”

Sikong Jing then covered his clothing again and replied, ”Now, do you still think I’m boasting?”

The haphazard beard at the corner of his mouth twitched wildly.

After a long pause, the elder asked heavily, ”Did you really kill the Blood Refining Ancestor? How did you do it?”

The Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl was the most infamous treasure of the Blood Refining Ancestor.

Now that it was in Sikong Jing’s possession, it was certain that it wasn’t a boast—such a treasure could only accept a new master if the Blood Refining Ancestor was dead.

This matter left him no choice but to believe.

However, Sikong Jing did not directly answer but instead countered, ”Before that, you need to tell me why you’re in my home? What is your relation to my parents, and why must you trap my sister?”

This so-called ”Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm” was left by his parents; it was impossible for it to trap him and his sister.

Therefore, it could only have been done by the elder before him, but why the elder would stay here, whether he knew the parents or not... Strangely, from what he had just said, it seemed as if he didn’t know them.

Regarding this question, the elder paused before responding, ”I have no relation to them, I don’t know who your parents are. I simply stumbled upon this Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm by accident and hid inside.”

”As for trapping your sister... it’s because she has the aura of the Wunian Saint Sect on her, and I’m being chased by them.”

”Had it not been for your sister’s anxious worry, and had the message bird not been non-committal about my identity or anything relating to my chasers, I wouldn’t have deliberately set it free.”

Sikong Jing was stunned by these responses, before he gradually came to an understanding.

He believed the elder’s words; stumbling upon the Spirit Origin Small Secret Realm was accidental, and the same was the coincidence with his sister... Being pursued by the Wunian Saint Sect further confirmed the elder as the person he had surmised.

And the message bird had been released deliberately, solely because of Ling’er’s anxiety and concern.

Meanwhile, the elder continued, ”Of course, you’ll also have to stay here with me for now. Now, can you tell me how you killed the Blood Refining Ancestor?”

As he finished speaking, a wary look flashed through the elder’s eyes.

If Sikong Jing was capable of killing the Blood Refining Ancestor, then it was very likely he could kill the elder as well, so the question was of utmost importance.

The elder added another sentence, ”Or was it some Central Plains Force that helped you kill him?”

He still insisted that Sikong Jing had joined some Central Plains Force...

Or perhaps his parents were some incredible figures themselves, so it was possible that a Central Plains Force revered him greatly.

In any case, Sikong Jing now gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Sikong Jing stared back at him and said deliberately, ”Willow Leaf Saint Manor.”

As soon as those four words were spoken, the elder’s previously relaxed expression instantly became sharp and penetrating, like streaks of lightning flashing by, the surrounding fragrance of flowers and birdsong once again darkened, oppressive to the point of near madness.

Sikong Ling’s expression turned fierce, her True Qi circulating faintly, and then she subconsciously reached out to grasp Sikong Jing’s left hand.

Instead, she grasped at thin air.

All of a sudden, her face turned pale, and Sikong Ling uttered anxiously, ”Brother, your left hand—why is it gone again?”
