Berserk God of War

Chapter 1580: Chapter 1580: Ba Lie Venerable Descends

”Sigh...”

Standing there for quite a while, Duanmu Chun sighed helplessly, turning around to leave with a lost expression. He knew Venerable Ba Lian all too well. If it was like Sikong Jing said, Venerable Ba Lian would stop at nothing, even if it meant risking his life.

At that moment, bang bang bang...

Heavy footsteps sounded as the little princess, already a maid of the Yao Residence, ran up to Duanmu Chun in a panic. ”Duanmu, the old woman with inconvenient legs suddenly can’t be found. We don’t know where she went.”

Because Venerable Ba Lian, disguised as an old woman, was arranged into the Yao Residence by Duanmu Chun, she naturally sought him out.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chun slightly regained his composure and replied gently, ”No need to worry, she probably got lost again.”

After speaking, he walked past the bewildered little princess.

In his heart, he was already thinking about how to cooperate with Sikong Jing to keep her in the dark when Venerable Ba Lian returned.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing glanced again in the direction of Hanluan City, then said a few reassuring words to the little princess before rejoining the others in celebratory drinking. Everything would be tackled when Venerable Ba Lian returned.

...

Half a day later, the first match of the Soldier Formation Master Guild in Hanluan City’s competition had officially started.

But Chang Ao was not in the mood to pay attention to this contest; he had just received a message that Sikong Jing had been captured by an Emperor Martial Stage Peak woman who claimed to be an old lover of the Soul Dominator.

Sikong Jing was taken out of Hanluan City’s great array, and no one knew which force the woman belonged to.

The Sect Master of East Night Holy Pond was now continuously tracking her.

Soon after, Chang Ao received a second bad news.

After various investigations, it was confirmed that the people from Yao Residence had actually left Hanluan City the night before, and those celebrating until dawn were just disguises arranged by Sikong Jing...

Which meant, the real Sikong Jing had been captured, and the Yao Residence was nowhere to be found.

The people they wanted to eliminate had all escaped.

Meanwhile, the venerable-level figures of Qianwang Holy Tower naturally got wind of these two messages. They angrily demanded, ”What old lover does the Overlord Soul Venerable have? Find out who this woman is immediately.”

In response, Chang Ao promptly sought out Gong Ying.

As a core figure of Overlord Commerce, she might have known about the Soul Dominator Venerable.

However, Gong Ying was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to know?

Before the Soul Dominator Venerable disappeared, she was still a child, and with the Venerable’s eccentric and adventurous nature, who knows where he had formed emotional entanglements?

”Investigate, investigate, investigate...”

Nonetheless, Qianwang Holy Tower frantically issued orders.

Since the old lover of the Soul Dominator was an Emperor Martial Peak level supreme expert, there surely would be clues to find. In the Central Plains, such masters were rare and each had a legendary reputation.

”By the way, Sikong the little beast seems to have passed on the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array to the people of Yao Residence.”

At this moment, someone in Qianwang Holy Tower suddenly recalled that Yang Yi used the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation in the Han District battle.

Upon hearing this, the Qianwang Venerable’s eyes brightened, and coldly said, ”In that case, we must immediately pursue the people of Yao Residence. Regardless of their disguise, their destination can only be one place, certainly the Overlord Association in Central Central Plains.”

Having made the decision, Qianwang Holy Tower immediately gathered those allied with them, including East Night Holy Pond, and ordered Chang Ao to unlock the array in Hanluan City and move out.

And just as they were about to head out, three figures suddenly caught up.

”Lord Qianwang, I am Yang Zhi, the Family Head of Yang Mansion.”

”I am also nominally the Dominator of East Dominator, and these two are my daughters Yang Li and Yang Hua. Can we join you in pursuing the people of Yao Residence? I hold a deep hatred against Yao Yulou.”

The three figures were none other than Yang Zhi and his two daughters.

Upon hearing this, the Qianwang Venerable’s eyes flashed coldly, and he slowly asked, ”You want to join us in pursuit?”

”Yes, I’m extremely familiar with the situation of Yao Residence and should be able to provide significant assistance to you.” Yang Zhi replied earnestly.

In his heart, he was immensely eager; Gong Ying likely couldn’t stay in East Dominator Branch any longer, and Yang Family had lost their territory in Hanyi District. If Duanmu Chun returned as the Great Dominator, he would certainly die.

Therefore, upon hearing of Qianwang Holy Tower’s pursuit of Yao Residence, he decided to climb the high branches.

Bringing along his two daughters was a means to see if there were any opportunities to become a lady for one of the many Young Masters of Qianwang, even as a concubine...

Qianwang Holy Tower had many young masters; even though Pei Yuzheng died, there were plenty more, and catching one would be thrilling.

With his familiarity with Yao Residence, Qianwang Holy Tower was certainly going to take him.

But as Yang Zhi indulged in such fantasies, the Qianwang Venerable flashed cold eyes, slowly asking, ”The president of Shiyu Commerce in Hanluan City, Pei Feishan, you killed him, right?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi immediately puffed up his chest and said, ”It was me...”

Although he hadn’t killed him, someone had thrown the body near his home prior to the territory competition, and he certainly couldn’t let it go. Previously, he answered this way to prove his strength to Overlord Commerce.

I managed to kill Hanluan City’s Shiyu President, so you must take me along.

Unfortunately, the Qianwang Venerable suddenly ordered a subordinate, ”You stay and finish them. We’re leaving.”

After speaking, without further ado, he led the group swiftly toward the outskirts of Hanluan City.

And Yang Zhi, along with Yang Li sisters, were dumbfounded!

They looked blankly at the remaining Qianwang expert and hurriedly asked in fear, ”Why are you suddenly trying to kill us?”

It makes no sense; I, Yang Zhi, have never wronged Qianwang Holy Tower...

The remaining Qianwang expert responded sinisterly, ”Pei Feishan was one of us at Qianwang Holy Tower; you killed him, hence you must pay with your life.”

With that, the Qianwang expert promptly acted, ruthlessly striking down the Yang sisters Yang Li and Yang Hua.

Yang Zhi was utterly petrified; Pei Feishan had actually been part of Qianwang Holy Tower. He wailed repeatedly, ”It wasn’t me! I didn’t kill him; someone left his body near my Yang Mansion... Ah!”

Before he could finish, he let out a scream and collapsed on the spot.

After the Qianwang expert departed, he still lay on the ground, muttering, ”It truly wasn’t me. Whoever is framing me with a thousand cuts...”

Now he realized, someone had made a deliberate move to frame him by using Pei Feishan’s corpse.

In his mind, Sikong Jing’s image suddenly emerged.

That little beast had warned him before the territory competition that Pei Feishan had strong ties with Qianwang Holy Tower, so it must be Sikong the little beast’s doing... Just at that thought, he perished on the spot.

...

Regarding the murder of Yang Zhi and his daughters, Gong Ying had no interest. They weren’t her direct subordinates anyway.

Days later, the Soldier Formation Master’s duel had completely ended.

This time, the territory battle had fully concluded, and Gong Ying along with the people from the East Dominator Branch were expelled from the East Dominator Courtyard.

After the battle, each force aligned their new territory according to battle results.

The East Dominator Courtyard, excluding the corner where the Soul Dominator Secret Realm was, was entirely chosen by the Hundred Tigers Holy Cave. The formidable Golden Tiger Emperor acted on the spot, forcing Gong Ying to relocate.

Everyone from East Dominator Branch could only be temporarily accommodated at a villa belonging to Overlord Commerce outside the city.

Because there were simply too many people from East Dominator to house within the city.

Presently, she, Gong Ying, had become the laughingstock of the entire city and even the whole Central Plains East.

Gong Ying was nearly bursting with frustration every day.

Finally, half a month after Sikong Jing left Hanluan City, her senior brother, Ba Lie Venerable, descended upon Hanluan City at last.

Upon arrival, Ba Lie Venerable mercilessly delivered... slap!

A fierce slap landed on Gong Ying’s face.
