Berserk God of War

Chapter 1570: Chapter 1570: We’re Leaving Hanluan City

In short, the battle between the Chaotic District and the Han District has come to an end!

All formations were unlocked following Chang Ao’s command. Immediately after, Chang Ao took a deep breath and looked towards the people in the Hanyi District, particularly at Sikong Jing below, who was holding an ordinary battle flag.

Yes, Sikong Jing was merely holding a normal battle flag, but it did not diminish the radiance about him.

Retracting his gaze, Chang Ao opened his mouth to announce again...

”The competition for young talents and the Emperor Martial Stage has ended. Tomorrow morning will be the third event, which is the showdown of the Soldier Formation Masters.”

”I will announce the detailed rules tomorrow; for now, go home and rest.”

After the announcement, Chang Ao immediately looked towards the Venerable-level figures in the Qianwang Holy Tower nearby. They had already agreed, after Pei Yuzheng’s death, that during the third Soldier Formation Master contest, Sikong Jing should be eliminated!

Thus, Chang Ao needed to return and thoroughly study the battleground for tomorrow’s Soldier Killing Array showdown.

He was determined to create a big trap for Sikong Jing.

Not only did they want to kill him, but they also planned to design something akin to illusions to make Sikong Jing spill the entirety of the Domineering Soul Inheritance. Only then could they compensate for their guilt and avoid punishment from Pei Kuang.

Chang Ao firmly believed that Sikong Jing would partake in the Soldier Formation Master showdown because he possessed the Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Array and had used it to kill everyone in the Qianwang Holy Tower, so he was undoubtedly very confident.

Moreover, the Yao Residence did not have any notable Soldier Formation Masters.

Duanmu Chun would unlikely represent Yao Residence, and Yao Yuzhi was too weak.

Furthermore, the Soldier Formation Master’s contest was equally crucial because it would allocate management rights of certain public territories.

For example, management rights for a mountain filled with Martial Arts Array Patterns for the next ten years... though it was only management rights, it was quite useful for collecting fees, among other things.

Of course, there were also some open areas, which could be used for practicing Soldier Killing Arrays and the like.

After deeply gazing at Sikong Jing for several moments, Chang Ao finally laughed sinisterly and left with the members of the Soldier Formation Master Guild.

Afterward, one Divine Shuttle Ship after another descended into the Hanyi District, which was relieved from the Great Array, taking their disciples and Emperor Martial Stage individuals aboard the Divine Shuttle Ships. In the blink of an eye, the entire Hanyi District was deserted.

But soon, all minor formations from various forces were also unlocked, and ordinary observers in the formations flooded the streets.

They frantically discussed the situation of the territory-snatching battle.

Of course, their main topic of discussion was Pei Yuzheng’s death, and naturally, Sikong Jing’s terrifying methods, with most expressing admiration. However, over ninety percent believed Sikong Jing was doomed to die.

”And don’t think Sikong Jing is that impressive; he borrowed the power of all geniuses and Emperor Martial Stage individuals.”

”Right, he did not fight Pei Yuzheng one-on-one. The true strength of his combat power remains a mystery. The other major forces did not seize the Holy Flag because they feared his Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array.”

Most questioned Sikong Jing’s actual combat power.

Yet, there were dissenters who said, ”I heard he killed many Emperor Martial Stage experts; how can his combat power be weak?”

”Only assassination, what kind of skill is that?” someone immediately countered, ”Besides, he received the Domineering Soul Inheritance; who knows if there are any miraculous treasures within?”

Debates about Sikong Jing were lively and ongoing; regardless, he gained widespread fame.

...

At the same time, Gong Ying returned to the Supreme Dominance Decision Building within the East Dominator Courtyard...

Everyone, including Yang Zhi and Ming Yan, were gathered, but the atmosphere was intensely oppressive until Yang Zhi spoke, ”Gong Da Bajue, what are we going to do now? Do we really have to move out of the East Dominator Courtyard?”

As the words left his mouth, everyone held their breath.

When the final Soldier Formation Master’s battle ends, the territories will be redistributed, and they don’t have a single Battle Flag, so moving is inevitable.

Even if some benefits are obtained from the Soldier Formation Master’s battle, it won’t be enough to keep the East Dominator Courtyard.

In response, Gong Ying made an effort to calm herself and said, ”Hmph, of course, we won’t move.”

This statement left everyone puzzled...

Soon after, Gong Ying coldly explained, ”Duanmu Chun will certainly aim for the East Dominator Courtyard when the territories are distributed; they have the Holy Flag, which allows them to acquire any piece of territory they desire.”

”At that time, we’ll just stay in the East Dominator Courtyard, regardless.”

”He can’t possibly make us leave. There is no one in Hanluan City who will stand up to aid them, and he also wouldn’t dare let anyone assist... otherwise, the Heavenly Decision Makers would not let him off. For now, we just await orders from Overlord Commerce.”

”Also, I have already sent word to my brother, Ba Lie; he will certainly come and manage this.”

With Gong Ying’s explanation, everyone immediately understood.

Duanmu Chun would inevitably desire the East Dominator Courtyard, and all they had to do was shamelessly remain there.

In other words, when Duanmu Chun claims the East Dominator Courtyard in the name of the Yao Residence, regardless of him or Sikong Jing, they are still a part of Overlord Commerce and wouldn’t dare forcibly evict anyone.

Moreover, they definitely would not dare forcefully seize the East Dominator Courtyard and detatch from Overlord Commerce.

Even if on the surface, evicting everyone from the East Dominator is justified, it would incense Overlord Commerce.

Duanmu Chun merely wants to reclaim the position of East Dominator Grand Dominator.

Thus, after realizing this, Gong Ying remained calm; as for subsequent events, they would await the arrival of Ba Lie Venerable.

”After all, as long as Venerable Ba Lian does not appear, we will remain invincible.” Gong Ying pronounced.

Although she might face punishment and lose the position of Grand Dominator, East Dominator would surely still belong to her brother Ba Lie Venerable. More crucially, the Qianwang Holy Tower would not spare Sikong Jing, and eventually, Duanmu Chun would also face consequences.

Following Gong Ying’s words, Yang Zhi also chuckled and said, ”It’s thrilling; it seems Sikong the little beast tried his hardest, yet in the end, he’s merely making a wedding dress for us, achieving nothing for himself.”

Ming Yan, Gong Yi, and others likewise smirked coldly.

They eagerly anticipated seeing the expressions of Duanmu Chun and Sikong Jing being evicted upon Ba Lie Venerable’s arrival.

...

Haner Second District, Yao Residence!

The Yao Residence’s Divine Shuttle Ship descended, and, naturally, Sikong Jing and others were brought back. Awaiting them was the enthusiastic celebration from everyone in the Yao Residence, Nu Hua Team, and Sky Wolf Team...

As everyone emerged from the Divine Shuttle Ship, they shouted loudly and rejoiced merrily.

Nonetheless, Sikong Jing only took a few sips of wine before suddenly speaking, ”Everyone, stop for a moment; I have something to say.”

As his words fell, the crowd abruptly quieted, all smiles directed at Sikong Jing.

Presumably, he intended to say something inspiring...

However, after taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing announced, ”Now is not the time for celebration; we must leave Hanluan City immediately.”

As his voice faded, the joyful expressions of those revelling in the celebration froze...

Yet, Sikong Jing did not offer an explanation and continued, ”Pack your things quickly; we are departing tonight.”

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances before silently nodding, understanding that Sikong Jing was not jesting.

For the pressure from Qianwang Holy Tower would be immense...
