Berserk God of War

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Preparedness and Stirring the Grass to Startle the Snake

Sikong Jing immediately saw through her thoughts and smiled again.

“Doesn’t Mieqing Venerable dislike disciples disobeying her orders?”

“You’re fine as long as you don’t go in, and as for me, Bi Xian and the others don’t recognize me yet.”

Sikong Jing’s explanation immediately gave Wen Luo a chilling shiver.

She really didn’t want to come to the Ice King Round Tower at first…

If she were recognized by Bi Xian, it would undoubtedly invite all sorts of trouble, even though the current troubles aren’t insignificant.

Especially, Junior Brother Sikong and Bi Xian would definitely get into a fierce dispute in front of Mieqing Venerable over the beating and detention of Bi Zhen and others, so they definitely couldn’t let anyone discover their private visit to the Ice King Round Tower.

Thinking of this, Wen Luo said without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll go to the Emperor’s Limitless Weapon now. Junior Brother Sikong, be careful not to cause any trouble, just watch the excitement from the shadows.”

She was still a bit worried that Sikong Jing might stir up another big storm, so she kept advising.

Sikong Jing nodded with a smile and said, “Hmm, I’ll leave the Wuji Border to Senior Sister Wen Luo.”

In response, Wen Luo smiled back and said, “Junior Brother, I’m counting on you to lead our Changqing Lineage to rise, plus, if I can help Master Wuji, it may bring lots of benefits.”

Wen Luo had no objections to Sikong Jing’s request.

Getting along with Master Wuji is something many powerful people desire, and Changqing Venerable would certainly not refuse.

Furthermore, she sincerely believes that Sikong Jing is the future of the Changqing Lineage, so maintaining a good relationship with him is equally important.

It’s just a small matter to inform Master Wuji.

With that, Sikong Jing watched Wen Luo turn and leave.

His eyes flickered sharply, muttering to himself, “Am I being overly suspicious? After all, Master Wuji has been in hiding for so many years, could he really be exposed at this time?”

The reason for asking Wen Luo to inform Master Wuji to be careful was precisely because Sikong Jing suspected that he might have been exposed, questioning if the so-called major event of the Qianwang Holy Tower coming to Wanbing City had anything to do with the so-called Su Old Demon remnants.

But perhaps his doubt was just too intense.

It was Wen Luo’s few words that aroused his suspicion; if the Golden Robed Youth truly was a talent from the Qianwang Holy Tower, why would he have any reason to claim admiration for himself?

Yin Henzi was nothing but scum in the eyes of the Qianwang Holy Tower, so what if he was dead?

Sikong Jing’s combat ability hadn’t been exposed in Wanbing City either. Even when he defeated Beiming Hanshan Lushan, he held back, and at most he only looked fierce riding on the Absolute Night Demon Wolf.

So it could only be related to saving Master Wuji, thus earning admiration?

But that seemed too strange.

After pondering for a long time, Sikong Jing still couldn’t figure out the key points, but in any case, alerting Master Wuji was a good precaution.

“Better safe than sorry,” he thought, taking a deep breath, and without overthinking, he turned to head back towards the direction of the banquet.

As for the servant leading them, they naturally hadn’t overheard their conversation and didn’t dare concern themselves with the guests’ movements, since even the Ice King Sect Master hadn’t asked Sikong Jing to give way just now…

…

Meanwhile, before Wen Luo left the Ice King Round Tower…

The Golden Robed Youth and the Ice King Sect Master had already stepped into a luxurious beast chariot, slowly departing from the Ice King Round Tower.

At this moment, the Ice King Sect Master asked in a low voice, “Young Master Yu Feng, this Sikong Buwang is now quite close with Qi Wuji, do we really not need to deal with him if he happens to see us?”

The first thought that came to the Ice King Sect Master’s mind upon seeing Sikong Jing was to kill to silence.

At this point, the Golden Robed Youth Pei Yufeng was not yet ready to reveal his identity.

Moreover, he happened to be the 100th son of Pei Kuang, the Tower Master, and what he was about to do was of utmost importance, so the Ice King Sect Master suddenly felt a bit more cautious, thinking it’s better not to leave any potential disruptions…

Previously, Pei Yufeng didn’t even consider silencing and yet expressed admiration for Sikong Buwang.

“Ice King Sect Master, you’re overreacting too much.”

“I haven’t revealed my identity yet, so how would a little servant from the Wunian Saint Sect know who I am? Even if he’s close with Qi Wuji, would Qi Wuji tell him about Su Old Demon?”

After hearing Pei Yufeng’s words, the Ice King Sect Master thought about it and then calmed down.

Indeed, as he said, he was overreacting a bit.

If they truly feared being spotted, Young Master Yu Feng wouldn’t have left through the front door so blatantly.

Thinking of this, the Ice King Sect Master then asked, “So Young Master Pei truly admires him?”

He thought Sikong Buwang merely got lucky to kill Yin Henzi and latch onto Master Wuji’s support, which didn’t seem like a big deal.

“Ha, hahaha…”

Pei Yufeng couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the words, then said, “How could that be? I just feel he has done me a great service. More importantly, this kid can drive Qi Wuji crazy in the future…”

“I have no greater joy than driving people to madness.”

“If Qi Wuji knew it was his benefactor who led to the destruction of his painstakingly developed Lingque Secret Realm, I wonder what mood he’d be in. It would certainly be very, very amusing.”

Speaking of this, Pei Yufeng couldn’t help but smile, full of anticipation.

Originally, he didn’t care about Sikong Buwang at all, but since they coincidentally met, he figured he’d have some fun.

And the Ice King Sect Master was stunned; indeed, it would be extremely maddening. Young Master Yu Feng was still at an age where he enjoyed such games.

Then he shook his head, no longer continuing the topic of Sikong Buwang, and lightly asked, “Young Master Pei, if we go to the Emperor’s Limitless Weapon now, won’t we alert the snake?”

They left the Ice King Round Tower this time, intending to find Master Wuji.

Of course, it wasn’t to expose his identity but to consult with a few Emperor’s Artifacts there, to have a face-to-face with Master Wuji.

That was precisely Pei Yufeng’s original words.

Yet the Ice King Sect Master was still somewhat worried, wondering if Young Master Yu Feng liked fun too much.

“I’m going to alert the snake, but the snake isn’t Qi Wuji, it’s Xiu Hanzi.”

“We already have some leads on Xiu Hanzi, but he seems hesitant, so I intend to fan the flames a bit, to make Xiu Hanzi move, thus we can locate his precise position.”

“But again, without revealing my identity, who would know who I am?”

“Qi Wuji has been hidden for decades; there’s no way he’d think he’s been exposed.”

Pei Yufeng spoke casually, indicating that he wasn’t planning to reveal his identity on this trip, but would instead release some information to prompt Xiu Hanzi into action, and test if he’d send someone to approach Qi Wuji.

The Ice King Sect Master understood, then let the beast chariot proceed.

And they completely didn’t know that at this moment, an Absolute Night Demon Wolf had already rushed ahead of them, heading for the Emperor’s Limitless Weapon.

…

Inside the Ice King Round Tower, Sikong Jing finally stepped into the banquet hall.

Immediately, waves of intoxicating wine aromas greeted him. The entire banquet was bustling with excitement, with the sounds of clinking glasses and, from the center of the banquet, the sounds of fighting…
