Berserk God of War

Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: When She Goes Crazy, She Even Curses Herself

At that moment, thump, thump, thump...

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the staircase of the tavern as a tall woman dressed entirely in black made her way up, her face concealed by a black veil.

Upon reaching the top, she immediately locked her gaze onto Sikong Jing and walked to sit across from him.

Sikong Jing withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the veiled woman in front of him, then said, ”Sorry, I don’t share tables.”

Unfortunately, the veiled woman stared intently at him and asked, ”Sikong Jing, where is that old bastard Overlord Soul?”

The veiled woman was direct and blunt, mercilessly exposing Sikong Jing’s currently sensitive identity.

It was as if she intended to give Sikong Jing a good shock!

After speaking, the corners of her mouth, hidden beneath the veil, tugged slightly, as if ready to enjoy the sight of Sikong Jing’s panicked expression...

This little rascal miraculously avoided all pursuits with the Fierce Beast Blood, and now he’s undoubtedly feeling triumphant, only to be suddenly exposed by her; any normal person would be thrown into chaos.

However, the veiled woman was completely miscalculated...

Sikong Jing showed no reaction upon hearing her words, only appearing slightly surprised.

Was he scared stiff, or did he not know how to react?

Or perhaps he was just thick-skinned?

The veiled woman was puzzled, then silently resolved to herself: What a mysterious and troublesome brat, remaining so calm in such a situation. Very well, I’ll prod you even harder, you can’t be unafraid.

With that thought, the veiled woman spoke in a cool voice, ”The whole of Hanluan City is looking for you right now. If you dare not reveal where that old bastard Overlord Soul is hiding, I’ll throw you out immediately...”

”Don’t think that shaking off all your pursuers means you can shake me off, you can’t.”

The veiled woman’s voice was chillingly cold, her gaze sharp as a knife, as if intent on piercing through Sikong Jing.

And Sikong Jing’s astonished expression finally returned to normal, yet he still showed no fear but instead asked with a peculiar expression, ”Why are you looking for Venerable Ba Lian? What are you to her?”

Although saying this aloud, in his heart Sikong Jing was secretly guessing: Venerable Ba Lian, what are you up to now?

Indeed, the veiled woman before him was none other than Venerable Ba Lian herself, whom he was waiting for.

There was no way Sikong Jing couldn’t recognize her because it was he who deliberately left clues for Venerable Ba Lian to find him.

Last night, when the Yao Residence members set out, he noticed something left on him by Venerable Ba Lian, but he intentionally didn’t remove it, so now, apart from Venerable Ba Lian, no one else could track him.

In other words, if Sikong Jing hadn’t deliberately left clues, Venerable Ba Lian wouldn’t have found him either.

However, Sikong Jing never imagined that Venerable Ba Lian would appear in the guise of a veiled woman. While waiting, he had wondered whether Venerable Ba Lian would sweep him away or create some grand spectacle first.

Now, Sikong Jing found himself even more puzzled...

Venerable Ba Lian should have already learned from Duanmu Chun that only by mastering the Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map could they find clues to Venerable Ba Lian’s disappearance. Why then suddenly pretend to threaten him?

His astonishment stemmed precisely from Sikong Jing’s sense of the inexplicable.

Therefore, he naturally pretended not to recognize Venerable Ba Lian in front of him and counterquestioned.

”A sworn enemy, an enemy until death.”

The veiled Venerable Ba Lian responded decisively: ”That old bastard Overlord Soul mistreated me when he was young, and I’ve searched for decades just to kill him. Now that his successor finally appears.”

With this, Sikong Jing was once again dumbfounded. Venerable Ba Lian even pretended to be an enemy of Venerable Ba Lian?

”Don’t tell me you don’t know that old bastard Overlord Soul’s whereabouts, and don’t try to fool me with any excuse...”

”If you dare to say ’no,’ I’ll blow up the entire city, leaving you without a grave.”

Venerable Ba Lian said, staring fixedly at Sikong Jing, waiting to see if he’d reveal the old bastard’s whereabouts.

Yet Sikong Jing continued to stare blankly at her, until he finally came to his senses, lowly replying, ”The place where Venerable Ba Lian went is extremely dangerous; if you went there, it’s almost certain death.”

At the sound of his voice, Venerable Ba Lian’s entire body shook violently, silently roaring in her heart: The little brat indeed knows the old bastard’s true whereabouts.

”I love dangerous places. Even if it means death, I’ll find him to kill him with my own hands,” Venerable Ba Lian growled, ”Just tell me where he is, and I’ll take you out of the city right now.”

Saying this, her eyes bore into Sikong Jing, thinking...

Now that I’m pretending to be Ba Lian’s archenemy and threatening you, you must be ready to tell me.

The more dangerous the place, the more you will say, surely you want to see... the enemy of the Overlord Soul old bastard stepping into death.

Looking into Venerable Ba Lian’s fervent, even trembling gaze, Sikong Jing finally realized why she hadn’t revealed her identity—it was her suspicion of his deception, suspecting he deliberately withheld Overlord Soul’s whereabouts.

Whether disguising as the Old Woman or now as the female enemy, Venerable Ba Lian merely sought to know her husband’s whereabouts.

Smiling wryly in his heart, this situation was indeed difficult!

On one hand, Venerable Ba Lian had entrusted him not to speak, and on the other, his wife had waited for decades.

Whether he spoke or not, he was in a difficult position...

Opposite him, Venerable Ba Lian watched Sikong Jing’s expression wavering between suspicion and disbelief, her passion and trembling growing even more intense. Her terrifying aura suddenly pressed upon Sikong Jing, feigning a fierce demeanor: ”Speak quickly, or die.”

Sikong Jing looked at her with a face full of wry smiles, and after pondering for a moment, sighed, ”Don’t play games, Venerable Ba Lian.”

He finally decided to expose Venerable Ba Lian’s identity.

With these words, the once fiercely aggressive Venerable Ba Lian was dumbfounded, her eyes darting wildly as she exclaimed, ”What did you just call me? What nonsense are you spouting?”

Damn it, how did this kid recognize me? Did I just mishear?

Watching her, Sikong Jing quietly replied, ”Venerable Ba Lian, regarding Venerable Ba Lian’s whereabouts, all I know is that it’s extremely dangerous.”

Sikong Jing continued to emphasize that he had recognized her.

And this time Venerable Ba Lian undoubtedly heard him clearly, stunned and staring at Sikong Jing, then fiercely retorting, ”What nonsense are you talking? How dare you say I am that dead slut Ba Lian? I am not her at all.”

She decided to deny it; after all, Sikong Jing had never seen her, so he must only be guessing.

When she went mad, Venerable Ba Lian even cursed herself, for she temporarily couldn’t admit it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to trick out the old bastard’s whereabouts.

In response, Sikong Jing could only smile wryly once more and then gently spoke...

”Venerable Ba Lian, the Mind Spirit Shadow left by Senior Soul Dominator in the Secret Realm said he only ever had you as a woman in his life. How could he have mistreated any other woman?”

”So you won’t fool me.”

To calm Venerable Ba Lian, Sikong Jing could only provide a benevolent lie.
