Berserk God of War

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: Sikong Buwang, Boundless Prospects

Soon, the Cold Soul Old Ghost angrily asked, ”Master Wuji, Yin Henzi is despicable and treacherous. Why did he do this?”

Of course, he was furious; Yin Henzi was indeed malicious.

If it weren’t for Master Wuji’s prowess, the Cold Soul Old Ghost would have been unable to clear his name.

As the Cold Soul Old Ghost posed his question, everyone listened intently, curious about Yin Henzi’s previous actions.

In response, Master Wuji replied with confidence, ”He wanted to obtain various Emperor’s Artifacts from me, frame Beiming Hanshan to gain merit for the Wunian Saint Sect, using the pretext to lure me away from the Emperor’s Castle, and then excuse...”

He explained bit by bit, yet he didn’t mention anything about Sikong Jing’s so-called Holy Artifact.

He merely stated that Yin Henzi was bold enough to attempt to kill him.

In any case, Master Wuji possessed numerous treasures, and if given the chance, many would covet them.

Overall, Yin Henzi was insidious and venomous.

”Fortunately, this Brother Sikong arrived at the last moment and persuaded the Absolute Night Demon Wolf to fight against Yin Henzi and kill him, saving my life.”

”Previously, I suspected Brother Sikong had ulterior motives, which is why I didn’t emerge from the wolf’s belly initially.”

”After our recent conversation, I’m wholly convinced that Brother Sikong is indeed my savior.”

At the end of his speech, Master Wuji attributed his survival entirely to Sikong Jing.

He stated that initially, the Absolute Night Demon Wolf couldn’t act against Yin Henzi, but was convinced only after Sikong Jing arrived.

Of course, no one doubted this, as demon beast mounts were known for their unwavering loyalty.

Ultimately, Master Wuji turned to Sikong Jing and sincerely said, ”Brother Sikong, I apologize for my earlier misunderstanding. Thank you for saving my old life. Please accept my homage.”

After speaking, Master Wuji humbly bowed deeply to Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing looked at him speechlessly, feeling that he had become unexpectedly famous?

However, it’s acceptable, the fame was under the name of Sikong Buwang, so it didn’t matter, and he responded, ”Master, there’s no need for this. I merely detest Yin Henzi’s excessive cruelty.”

Following this, Little Liang hurriedly brought Xiao Jia and the people from the Emperor’s Limitless side over to pay a deep tribute to Sikong Jing.

Though still a bit confused, since even the master paid homage, everyone naturally followed suit.

Other powerful figures from Wanbing City stared brightly at Sikong Jing, thinking this Young Sikong Buwang would likely become favored by Master Wuji, eager to make connections.

But the next moment, a different voice echoed...

The Cold Soul Old Ghost suddenly asked, ”Brother Sikong, we appreciate you clearing Beiming Hanshan’s name, but as a disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect, aren’t you afraid of punishment for killing Yin Henzi?”

As soon as he spoke, the entire place fell silent once more.

Indeed, the Cold Soul Old Ghost had just mentioned that Sikong Buwang was a servant disciple of the Changqing Lineage in the Wunian Saint Sect.

That’s why Master Wuji only recently spoke of misunderstanding him, right?

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing sneered and replied, ”Don’t worry about Beiming Hanshan; this is a matter within my own Wunian Saint Sect.”

As a disciple of the Wunian Saint Sect, this was the expected attitude toward Beiming Hanshan.

Such words were certainly more appropriate, and by standing firmly, Sikong Jing didn’t have to say much else.

The Cold Soul Old Ghost pursed his lips and suddenly smiled sinisterly, ”If Brother Sikong encounters any trouble in the Wunian Saint Sect, remember to find me. The doors of Beiming Hanshan will always be open for you, Brother Sikong.”

Evidently, the Cold Soul Old Ghost was attempting to hook Sikong Jing, who was favored by the Emperor.

In response, Sikong Jing shook his head and said, ”No need for that; I trust Master Wuji will resolve any issues for me.”

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the Cold Soul Old Ghost.

And everyone understood in their hearts, even after killing Yin Henzi, Master Wuji would certainly help Sikong Buwang resolve troubles.

Thus, Sikong Buwang’s confidence was soaring.

”Alright, thank you all for your concern. In a few days, I will host a banquet at the Emperor’s Castle to thank everyone.”

”Now, please head back!”

With Master Wuji’s words, everyone left without hesitation, albeit regrettably gaining nothing from this event, and all the credit went to Sikong Buwang, causing envy!

In an instant, only the Emperor’s Divine Shuttle Ship remained, along with Little Liang and Xiao Jia and others from the Emperor’s Limitless side.

Seeing them, Master Wuji spoke again, ”Little Liang, Xiao Jia, you should head back first; I’ll take a walk with Brother Sikong.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jia stepped forward, ”Grandpa Wuji, he...”

”No worries, Brother Sikong is family; you understand... next, you should call him Brother Sikong.” Master Wuji smiled, with deep meaning in his words.

Little Liang and Xiao Jia trembled slightly, staring at Sikong Jing in disbelief.

”Family” naturally meant: he was also one of Grandpa Su’s people.

Little Liang had previously mentioned that Sikong Jing resembled Grandpa Su, and now, so suddenly, he became family.

Though Little Liang and Xiao Jia had many questions, there wasn’t time to ask at the moment because in the Emperor’s Limitless, some were family and some were hired, so they took their leave...

And just as they were about to leave, Master Wuji spoke again, ”Little Liang, Xiao Jia, meet me at the usual place when you return.”

Upon hearing this, their bodies trembled slightly, nodding with surprise.

Finally, everyone left, leaving only Sikong Jing, Master Wuji, and the Absolute Night Demon Wolf in the snowy land.

An elder and a youth, one sitting, one standing. Finally, Sikong Jing lightly tossed a flask of wine over and said, ”Master Wuji, Grandpa Su has passed away, buried alongside Granny Ye, in my hometown.”

Master Wuji trembled violently upon hearing this, then opened Sikong Jing’s wine and drank deeply.

Then, Sikong Jing recounted how Su Old Demon was hunted by powerful figures from various forces, and about the formation of the Beiheng Sword Formation, informing Master Wuji.

Meanwhile, the latter was unknowingly already moved to tears.

”It’s my fault, even though I’ve become a master and gained power, I didn’t have the courage to investigate further.”

”If I had been bolder and built my power stronger, perhaps I could have helped Eldest Su when he broke free from oppression or when he was hunted!”

Master Wuji clutched his head in agony, trembling violently.

From this, it was clear that Master Wuji had always been cautious, more so than Old Xiu and Old He, so by the time he received the news, it was too late.

He hadn’t even found half a family member before Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing gently comforted him, ”Grandpa Su didn’t have to die; he simply longed to be with Granny Ye.”

Recalling the scenes of Grandpa Su building his own tomb, Sikong Jing still felt overwhelmingly shocked and heartbroken.

And Master Wuji cried and nodded fervently.

He knew well how deeply Eldest Su loved his wife, and amidst his sobs, he couldn’t help but curse, ”Those forces are detestable; ultimately, the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map ended up in their hands.”
