Berserk God of War

Chapter 1458: Chapter 1458: Battling for Territory—Some Rejoice, Some Grieve

If Yao Yulou dares to die, then the Qianwang Holy Tower will take Yao Yuzhi to the Thousand Prison Tower to meet their parents, and her future fate will be no different from Yao Yulou’s current situation.

For the sake of his sister Yao Yuzhi, Yao Yulou can only obey.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing’s hatred surged, murderous intent boiled, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and asked, ”Uncle Yao, what promise did Pei Kuang give you? How can you truly bring your parents back?”

This is crucial, as giving subordinates benefits and promises is necessary when treating them like chess pieces.

However, Yao Yulou shook his head and sighed deeply...

”No promises at all. In Pei Kuang’s eyes, I’m just an insignificant piece among countless others. As long as he controls the families of these pieces, he can do whatever he wants with them.”

”Allowing us to see our family every few years is already the greatest favor he grants us.”

Sikong Jing’s eyes widened; the fact that there were no promises at all meant Pei Kuang was utterly heartless...

”Pei Kuang has said that those of us with strong feelings and righteousness are the most ridiculous people in the world, and also the easiest to manipulate.”

”As long as he grasps our feelings and righteousness, we will inevitably become his most loyal dogs.”

As he said this, Yao Yulou’s fists clenched tightly, and his teeth bit down hard enough to draw blood.

”I have no way to rescue my parents; I can only ensure they remain alive.”

”I can’t afford to be unfilial, and so Pei Kuang manipulates me at will. I can’t let Yuzhi bear these burdens either, so I can’t die!”

”Therefore, there are some things you can’t tell me explicitly.”

Sikong Jing was speechless, longing to demonize right now and kill Pei Kuang...

But that’s impossible...

With his current realm, not even demonizing would allow him to kill Pei Kuang, for the Pure Spirit Heart only had two chances left, and if he delved too deeply into demonization, he’d waste those chances and never be able to return.

Only by continuing to grow stronger, reaching the Emperor Martial Stage, could he demonize and surge into the Holy Martial Stage while maintaining his consciousness.

Only then would there be a chance.

Sikong Jing had initially thought that if Pei Kuang offered any promises, he could find a way to help Yao Yulou fulfill the promise and rescue his parents.

But Pei Kuang gave not even the slightest opportunity.

As for not saying things too clearly, it was because Yao Yulou feared being exposed one day and being forced to reveal Sikong Jing’s secrets.

He was afraid of being forcibly manipulated, especially since Sikong Jing was also a remnant of Su Old Demon.

”But rest assured, Ajing, if it ever comes to that point, I won’t stay alive.”

”I can only apologize to my parents for my lack of filial piety, not just because of you...”

”But because I fear that one day I, too, will be locked in the Thousand Prison Tower, and Meixi will replace my current situation, becoming a chess piece.”

Yao Yulou once again spoke softly, revealing a deep, bitter smile...

The fear of his sister Yao Yuzhi replacing him kept him from daring to die, while the fear of Hua Meixi stepping in forced him to consider death as the only option... For Yao Yulou, even when baring his heart to Jiang Wanyou, he couldn’t escape his sorrowful fate.

He could only struggle in his suffering, striving to protect everyone bravely.

Ultimately, the two were left with nothing but silence and heavy pressure!

A full half a moment later, Yao Yulou resumed with a laugh, ”I received news that tomorrow Young Master Pei 106 will come, and he will personally participate in the Chaotic District battle, during which he will undoubtedly investigate Pei Feishan’s death...”

”He will also investigate Meixi, so I’m counting on you by then.”

”Moreover, after the Chaotic District battle, I might leave Aunt Jiang, and at that time, she and Meixi will also rely on you.”

Having said that, Yao Yulou sighed deeply, then continued with a smile, ”I’m going to find your Aunt Jiang.”

Now, he didn’t want to waste a single moment and just wanted to stay close to Jiang Wanyou all the time, so he disappeared in a flash.

In front of the study, only Sikong Jing remained standing quietly.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing spoke softly, ”Old Xiu, I want to investigate the list within the Qianwang Holy Tower’s Thousand Prison Tower, I want to change their fate, I want to help them break the Thousand Prison Tower...”

”Those who are affectionate and righteous should not be treated like this.”

”Moreover, once this is broken, these so-called Qianwang Chess Pieces will become our greatest aid.”

Sikong Jing had never wanted to help Yao Yulou and these people as much as he did at this moment.

The future aid was one thing, but it was those who were affectionate and righteous that truly resonated with him.

Old Xiu emerged quietly from the shadows...

He had initially come back after receiving Sikong Jing’s notification that Gong Ying might lead forces to attack the Yao Residence, but due to the fear of Saintess Canggu and Venerable Ba Lian’s madness, she had not come to kill Sikong Jing, the Domineering Soul Inheritor, to cover her tracks.

Thus, Old Xiu found himself without any battle opportunities, yet happened to overhear the conversation between the two.

Upon hearing what was said, he replied in a low voice, ”Young Master Sikong, this is difficult, but we should indeed give it a try.”

With that, Old Xiu disappeared...

Now that the Beast Poison within Old Xiu had been removed, his martial arts strength was rapidly recovering and advancing.

And Sikong Jing murmured, ”Those with strong feelings and righteousness are easy to control, but when the backlash comes, can you, Pei Kuang, withstand it?”

At this moment, Sikong Jing’s eyes were filled with a murderous aura!

...

In the blink of an eye, dawn broke...

The once-in-a-decade Chaotic District battle of Hanluan City was finally about to begin.

The Han District of Hanluan City was bustling almost beyond words, and under the guidance of Yao Yulou and Duanmu Chun, Sikong Jing, Yang Yi, and others boarded the Divine Shuttle Ship and set off for the outskirts of Hanluan City...

Outside the city, there was a place called Hanfeng Mansion, specifically built to serve as the starting point for the Chaotic District battles.

Every Chaotic District battle in Hanluan City would commence from Hanfeng Mansion, and participants would start their confrontations from there.

Even from a distance, one could see the sky over Hanfeng Mansion was densely crowded with Divine Shuttle Ships, as Hanluan City was just too vast, and the forces participating in the Chaotic District battles were almost countless.

This included even the small local forces of the Chaotic Eighth District.

These small local forces also wished to advance further; they sought to break into the Chaotic Seventh District to seize a bit of territory, which would change their fate in the Chaotic Eighth District, allowing them to climb to another level.

Therefore, every Chaotic District battle was chaotic and terrifying.

The Divine Shuttle Ship from the Yao Residence soon flew from the Han District to above the Chaotic District...

At that moment, Sikong Jing’s gaze slightly sharpened as he softly said, ”Why are there so few people in the Chaotic District?”

The Han District was just bustling with all kinds of people, and the taverns and shops were crowded to the brim... all engaged in discussions about the Chaotic District battle, but as soon as they reached the Chaotic District, it seemed entirely different.

It was desolate, with empty buildings as if it was a ghost city.

The first two Chaotic Districts were okay, but the further back, the more desolate it became, giving the impression of entering a ghost city.

Regarding this, Yang Yi explained in a low voice, ”For the Han District, the Chaotic District battle is a grand event, but for the people of the Chaotic District, it is a disaster, particularly for the Chaotic Seventh District and Chaotic Eighth District...”

”Because the battlefield for the young people is every piece of land in Hanluan City.”

”We will all engage in fierce battles starting from the Chaotic Eighth District, fighting our way to the Han District, to Hanyi District.”

”Within this, the Han District will protect themselves using formations and treasure powers, and there will be experts appearing from time to time; however, there are no experts providing protection in the Chaotic District... especially in the Chaotic Eighth District, almost everyone is left to fend for themselves.”
