Berserk God of War

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: The Great Array Restarts, Citywide Lockdown

With a twitch of his lips, the Golden Tiger Emperor looked again at the demonic monkey in front of him.

His face turned an ashen gray as he said, ”Sikong Jing’s methods are truly miraculous. He was able to turn the demonic power within the demonic monkey into an aura belonging to himself so seamlessly that even I was deceived.”

Whoosh...

As soon as the Golden Tiger Emperor’s words fell, the demonic power in the area suddenly dispersed like a raging wind.

One by one, the Emperor Martial Stage demon beasts returned to their original positions, as the bottle tossed out by Sikong Jing had been completely emptied of blood, which had been snatched and devoured by the most powerful dozen or so demon beasts.

In an instant, the street returned to calm, but Sikong Jing’s shadow was nowhere to be found.

Everyone who had just chased out of the grand square, whether in the open or hidden, stood dumbfounded.

Someone burst out, screeching, ”What on earth happened? Why did the demon beasts suddenly fall into chaos?”

A second person emerged from the shadows, stating, ”Sikong Jing probably obtained some terrifying Fierce Beast Essence Blood from the Domineering Soul Inheritance. When someone shattered the bottle he’d thrown, it drove the beasts mad, disrupting our lock on him.”

One after another, as people listened to this analysis, they roared in anger...

”Damn it, it’s that Domineering Soul Inheritance again. Just how many good things did the Soul Dominator Venerable have?”

Now, everyone harbored great resentment towards the Soul Dominator Venerable...

Amid the chaos, another strong individual hurried to question their mount about what kind of blood could make them so frenzied.

”Gulp...”

A certain Emperor Martial Stage demon beast mount gave a stifled burp and lowly replied to its master, ”I swallowed too fast just now, didn’t notice what creature’s blood it was, but it sure was thrilling and powerful.”

Upon hearing this, its master cursed aloud, ”You swallowed it, yet you can’t even sense what it was?”

This Emperor Martial Demon Beast blinked its eyes, then replied, ”I need to digest it immediately, or other beasts will tear me apart.”

Such a reply left its master speechless.

Overall, all the demon beasts present were similar to this one.

After swallowing, they immediately digested and absorbed it without caring, so not a single demon beast knew whose Fierce Beast Blood it was.

At this time, someone else angrily shouted, ”What’s the use of asking about the Fierce Beast Blood now? Hurry up and find the person first.”

These words served as a reminder to everyone around, both overt and covert, and they began flashing like meteors in all directions, continuing the frantic search for Sikong Jing’s whereabouts... but of course, they could no longer find him.

”Damn it, which wretched dog was it that shattered Sikong Jing’s bottle just now?”

”Exactly! Knowing Sikong Jing is cunning and has unusual methods, yet still shattered it, how brainless can you be?”

”Don’t let me find out who did it, or I’ll deal with them!”

One by one, they yelled curses, seething with anger.

Hidden, the Golden Tiger Emperor’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he asked the elder beside him in a low voice, ”Just now, no one saw it was me, right?”

The elders around him exchanged glances, confirming that no one saw it.

However, in front of them was a certain demonic monkey, clearly aware...

Its legs went weak as it quickly said, ”I don’t need you to take me as a disciple, I’m willing to become your mount.”

The poor monkey, in a moment of carelessness, changed sects.

Elsewhere on the street, Yang Zhi asked in a low voice, ”Gongda Bajue, what should we do now? We absolutely can’t let Sikong Jing escape.”

Gong Ying’s face was also ashen, and then her entire body shook slightly as she looked toward Haner Second District, shouting, ”Damn it, Sikong Jing came alone and said Duanmu Chun and the others were busy with something. Fearfully, the people from the Yao Residence have all fled too.”

As she spoke, Gong Ying suddenly accelerated, rushing in the direction of the Yao Residence.

Immediately, one face after another changed drastically and chased after her.

And of course, it wasn’t just Gong Ying and others from the East Dominator who rushed. Many others thought of the Yao Residence as a means of departure and dashed away as well,

As expected, when they reached the Yao Residence, it was already deserted, like a dead mansion.

”Damn it, no wonder that Sikong little beast went to the venue alone. Turns out, the people from the Yao Residence really have all left.”

”And it’s not that they just left; they likely left last night.”

”Check, immediately check the whereabouts of the Yao Residence people. They surely haven’t gone far, might still be within Hanluan City.”

Orders were rapidly spread out.

The entire Hanluan City went into a frenzy once again, yet no one initially thought that Sikong Jing would so decisively withdraw from the Soldier Formation Master’s battle, and now it’s too late to find anyone.

...

In the large square in front of the Soldier Formation Master Guild, Chang Ao naturally received all the news.

His old teeth gnashed as he said viciously, ”That Sikong little beast is really ruthless. I should have thought about it when he withdrew from the Soldier Formation Master’s duel. The people of the Yao Residence must have already escaped, damn it.”

At this moment, the many strong individuals of the Qianwang Holy Tower, with the help of Chang Ao’s subordinates, had already freed themselves from Cang Lin’s suppression.

A Qianwang Venerable Level figure growled lowly, ”No, you should have thought sooner that they would come to withdraw from the Soldier Formation Master’s duel.”

Hearing this, Chang Ao couldn’t help but feel restless, why the hell didn’t you think of it sooner?

But he could only hold back his anger...

”Last night, I clearly sent people to watch over the Yao Residence. They almost celebrated till dawn.”

”And Sikong Jing came daringly alone, who would’ve thought the people of the Yao Residence had all left?”

His words reflected the collective sentiment on the spot; it wasn’t that no one suspected that Yao Residence might leave, mainly, because since Sikong Jing came to the Soldier Formation Master’s venue, it was thought Yao Residence shouldn’t leave.

Because they still needed to protect Sikong Jing.

But who would have thought, Sikong Jing, when faced with such a terrifying situation, could indeed escape?

The situation unfolded just as Sikong Jing had planned: he drew all attention upon himself, allowing people from the Yao Residence to easily slip away.

”Alright, stop with the nonsense. How can we find the people?” the Qianwang Venerable Level figure asked in a cold voice.

Chang Ao’s face transformed wildly, and then he resolutely said with an idea, ”Now, I’ll have all the major forces issue a joint order, using the pretext of Su Old Demon remnants appearing to reignite the Hanluan City Great Array and seal the entire Hanluan City.”

Upon hearing this, the Qianwang crowd had their eyes light up, nodding vigorously.

Chang Ao’s order was quickly passed down.

Subsequently, the Hanluan City Great Array, originally used for the district contest, was immediately reactivated. Apart from the Sacred Canggu Peak, no force would oppose it, as most still sought to obtain Sikong Jing...

And the Sacred Canggu Peak is just trying not to be targeted by anyone right now, certainly having no say.

After the lockdown, various forces began sending people out for a frantic search, nominally in pursuit of Su Old Demon’s remnants, but in reality, they were all looking for the Yao Residence people. Sikong Jing slipped through like an eel.

But as long as they could find the people of the Yao Residence, Sikong Jing surely couldn’t escape...

Sadly, no one knew yet that the Yao Residence’s Divine Shuttle Ship had long departed Hanluan City, partly because someone had seen the Yao Residence celebrate until dawn last night, suggesting it couldn’t exit the expansive Hanluan City in such a short period.

Even if they went out, there should have been some trace...

...

In the Hanba District, at a certain tavern, a young man in black was sitting and drinking.

He, of course, was Sikong Jing, now being searched all over the city. After using his Beast Blood to ignite the demon beast mounts and using a certain demonic monkey to shake off the Golden Tiger Emperor’s lock, he had darted over to the Hanba District...

However, he could no longer progress as the entire Hanluan City had been sealed off by the Great Array.

Two arrays were activated separately, sealing both the Chaotic District and Han District...

Thus, he casually found a tavern, ordered some food and drink, and leisurely appreciated the chaotic scene outside.

He was now waiting for someone, someone who could take him out of Hanluan City, and that someone was none other than Venerable Ba Lian.
