Berserk God of War

Chapter 984: Chapter 984: Extraordinary Talent

In the yard where Yao Yulou resides...

At this moment, Yao Yulou stands emotionless, gazing up at the moon.

Suddenly, an eerie voice echoes: ”Yao Yulou, you’ve enjoyed yourself quite a bit over these years, becoming even fairer.”

Despite the sudden voice, Yao Yulou’s expression remains unchanged as he turns to a corner and says, ”Yao Yulou greets the Lord Envoy. I’m not sure why you’ve arrived suddenly, what are your instructions?”

Just then, a dark figure slowly emerges from the corner, a middle-aged man with a pale face.

His entire body seems shrouded in a terrifying darkness...

”It’s been over a decade, and you still haven’t determined if Jiang Wanyou possesses the Demon Charm Battle Body or the Evil Charm Holy Body?” The middle-aged man gazes coldly at Yao Yulou and says icily, ”The lord cannot wait much longer.”

A faint smile tugs at Yao Yulou’s lips...

”Lord Envoy, Jiang Wanyou has never cultivated martial arts, so I can only focus on her daughter.”

”But at present, her daughter is still too young to confirm if she has the Evil Charm Holy Body, which will take another two or three years to reveal.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged Lord Envoy gazes menacingly at Yao Yulou.

After a prolonged silence, he finally says, ”You better not let worldly dust blind your eyes, do not be seduced by beauty, or you and your sister will end up like this stone... Bang!”

With that, the middle-aged Lord Envoy suddenly picks up a stone and crushes it into powder with a bang.

His eyes, like those of a venomous snake, watch Yao Yulou fiercely.

Yet, Yao Yulou remains serenely calm, softly replying, ”You are mistaken, Lord Envoy. I am one hundred percent loyal to the lord, I haven’t even touched Jiang Wanyou, precisely because she might become the lord’s consort.”

Following Yao Yulou’s words, the Lord Envoy’s expression slightly eases.

Earlier, he was concealed in Jiang Wanyou’s room and naturally overheard their conversation; Yao Yulou did not lie.

Suddenly, the Lord Envoy speaks again: ”Now, the lord has a second task for you, which is my real reason for coming.”

Yao Yulou folds his hands, listening to the envoy’s instructions...

”It has long been confirmed that Jiang Wanyou is the daughter of Su Old Demon’s remnant ’Jiang Bi’.”

”Recently, we have almost confirmed that Su Old Demon’s most competent aide ’Xiu Hanzi’ is still alive, and he is the key person for repairing the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map.”

”The lord wants you to find a way through Jiang Wanyou to locate Xiu Hanzi...”

As the envoy speaks, Yao Yulou’s eyes hint at coldness. He raises his head to indicate understanding.

But the next moment, Yao Yulou questions, ”Lord Envoy, the Central Plains are vast, and Jiang Wanyou being Jiang Bi’s daughter cannot be easily disclosed. How can we attract Xiu Hanzi?”

The envoy coldly looks at him, chuckling, ”There are rumors of Xiu Hanzi appearing in the East Plain Minglong Village, but our people couldn’t find him there, hence he is likely in Hanluan City right now...”

”Jiang Wanyou currently obeys your every word, so it’s up to your methods.”

”Make sure not to disappoint the lord...”

With that, the envoy quietly vanishes into the dark corner, leaving Yao Yulou alone in the yard, gazing at the moon, lost in thought, standing silently until dawn.

At this time, the door to the yard opens...

A middle-aged maid enters slowly; it is Ah Yin, Jiang Wanyou’s maid, who reports, ”Master, Madam says she’s going to Chaotic Eighth District, to see a child with Innate Cold Blood Syndrome.”

To this, Yao Yulou smiles and nods, slowly saying, ”Protect Madam well, Hanluan City isn’t very peaceful lately...”

”Yes.”

Ah Yin finishes and prepares to leave when Yao Yulou slowly raises his hand, pointing at Ah Yin’s back.

In an instant, Ah Yin seems struck by lightning.

Then, she stiffly turns around, her eyes vacant, saying, ”Madam’s primary reason is to visit the child with Innate Cold Blood Syndrome; she’s feeling unwell and plans to go to the small clinic in Chaotic Eighth District she visited last time, fearing you’d worry, she didn’t want me to tell you.”

Yao Yulou calmly asks, ”What illness does Madam have, and what’s the clinic called?”

”Ah Yin doesn’t know what illness Madam has, last time Madam didn’t let me in the clinic, and the clinic is called... Xiu Yi!”

After speaking, Ah Yin stands vacantly.

Yao Yulou’s expression finally shifts, several breaths pass before he gently motions.

Ah Yin then turns to leave, her eyes gradually regaining clarity, but she is oblivious to what just happened,

Until she completely disappears from Yao Yulou’s sight, Yao Yulou hoarsely says, ”Xiu Yi? Why encounter Xiu Hanzi at just this time, why?”

Saying this, Yao Yulou slowly vanishes from the spot, his whereabouts unknown.

...

In the largest store of the East Dominator Branch in Hanyi District.

Old He and Old Xiu stride in, immediately being greeted by none other than Di Geng Di Bajue.

This shows the level of importance the East Dominator Branch places on the two elders.

”Good morning, gentlemen, Duanmu Dabajue invites you in.”

Old He and Old Xiu exchange a glance, then, with a calm demeanor, follow Di Geng into a luxuriously appointed private room where Duanmu Chun awaits them.

Upon entering, Old He directly asks, ”Duanmu Dabajue, how is the decryption of our fragmented map progressing?”

Duanmu Chun smiles faintly and hands them the Black Jade Fragmented Map, saying, ”It has been perfectly decrypted.”

Old He pauses, and behind him, Old Xiu’s eyes flash with sharpness.

Immediately, Old Xiu takes the Black Jade Fragmented Map from Duanmu Chun’s hands, probing it with thought, his entire body trembling as his mind is struck by four words... Unique Talent!

Moreover, he’s completely certain this map was decrypted by Sikong Jing, given the same method as used during chess in Minglong Village.

With Old Xiu’s experience and ability, he can see through in an instant, feeling exceptionally eager to apprentice him.

At this time, Duanmu Chun asks, ”Sir, how was the decryption?”

Old Xiu snaps back, laughing, ”Haha, indeed the Overlord Commerce excels in talent!”

He would never reveal he knows who decrypted it, instead, offering compliments.

Duanmu Chun nods slightly, then suddenly points to the chairs ahead, saying, ”Please have a seat, we’ll discuss payment and transaction matters...”

To this, Old Xiu sits down directly and asks, ”Duanmu Dabajue, please tell us?”

Bringing something for decryption certainly requires payment, and while coming, Old Xiu mentioned selling it to the East Dominator Branch.

Of course, they must sit down and discuss properly.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chun’s eyes flash coldly, ”Regarding decryption payment, what I want to know is where you’re from? Why do you possess a fragmented map mainly of the Qianyuan Soldier Kill Map? What are your motives?”

Bang...

As soon as he finishes speaking, the private room door slams shut, and a strong formation aura suddenly emerges around.

”Clarify, then we discuss the purchase price of this map.” Duanmu Chun’s voice is icy to the extreme.
