Berserk God of War

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: How to Respond? He Is a Sacred Body!

At this moment, Pei Yuxian felt as if her mood was soaring through the roof.

Just a moment ago, Murong Jianyun had held her in a tight grip from his high moral ground, but now the tables had turned. If he dared to claim ”protection,” then the scene from decades ago with Su Old Demon would reignite.

It was precisely the time to rally the world against the Demon, and incidentally, eliminate the entire Overlord Commerce.

Glaring at Murong Jianyun, she echoed his earlier words about the people of the world. Now, it’s my turn to do the same for you, ”the people of the world.”

At this moment, Venerable Ba Lian shouted again, ”Pei Yuxian, who says that a non-combatant is a demon? He is my husband’s heir. Why is it strange for him to have such power?”

Venerable Ba Lian knew the gravity of the situation and again brought up her husband.

To this, Pei Yuxian showed a dismissive expression, Your damned husband again?

”Who does your husband think he is?”

”Even if he is in the Holy Martial Stage now, if he can elevate a non-combatant to this level, then he is also a demon.”

Pei Yuxian’s expression turned wild once more.

As soon as she uttered ”demon,” she continued to pin it on Murong Jianyun sternly, ”Will you suppress Ba Lian and let me personally remove this little demon, or will you do it yourself?”

”Or perhaps, is your Overlord Commerce willing to defy the world by protecting a demon? Answer me now, Emperor Yun.”

At this point, Pei Yuxian’s True Qi surged throughout her body, roaring to the heavens.

Meanwhile, Venerable Ba Lian gritted her teeth and spoke heavily, ”Who doesn’t know my husband, he’s able to...”

Before she could finish, Sikong Jing intervened, advising, ”Venerable Ba Lian, there’s no need to argue with such people. I believe the Great Heaven Decision will give her a satisfying answer. We just need to wait patiently.”

He remained exceedingly calm, his voice not loud but in the surrounding silence, it reached the ears of the higher-ups at Overlord Commerce.

One by one, they couldn’t help but look over, confused as to why Sikong Jing remained so composed.

Whether it was Yu Liman, Beicang, or Xi Tu, their hearts were in turmoil, especially Yu Liman, who never expected this would occur so soon, despite foreseeing the future.

The heir of the Overlord Soul had only just risen.

On the other side, Duanmu Chun and Yao Yulou clenched their fists in anger but believed Sikong Jing would definitely resolve this.

At this time, Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward, saying, ”Great Heaven Decision, why are you hesitating? If he’s a demon, he must be killed!”

Gong Ying also said, ”Great Heaven Decision, our Overlord Commerce is not part of the Demon Path; we cannot collude with the demon.”

They followed Pei Yuxian’s phrasing closely, intent on pinning it down hard!

Ba Lie Venerable said nothing but repeatedly sneered at Sikong Jing for his audacity, confident that despite Murong Jianyun’s unwillingness, Sikong Jing was doomed...

At this moment, Murong Jianyun struggled to maintain composure but was deep in thought.

He ignored Nanfeng and Gong Ying, instead focusing on the other Earth Decision Makers.

What he saw were mostly feelings of resentment, reluctance, and even some indignant grief. He also looked at some expert members of Overlord Commerce who gathered, noticing their dissatisfaction as well.

At least over half were filled with hatred toward Pei Yuxian and Qianwang Holy Tower for labeling them.

Of course, there were worries and some thought the heir of the Overlord Soul should be killed...

But, more people leaned towards supporting the heir of the Overlord Soul.

Finally, Murong Jianyun’s gaze again fell upon Sikong Jing.

He reminisced on the events in the Heavenly Decision Hall, where Sikong Jing stepped forward to take the blame, recollecting what he said. If he didn’t have their support and trust, Pei Yushan’s head would have rolled.

Even facing such terrifying accusations, this young man remained remarkably calm.

”This young man just said I will provide a satisfying answer.”

Murong Jianyun deliberated extensively, ”If I accuse him of being a demon and punish him, what will happen? Does he have any means left that could doom Overlord Commerce?”

He pondered whether Sikong Jing, with such ease, had more strategies at his disposal.

”No, if I don’t support him this time, the morale at Overlord Commerce will crumble; that in itself is a terrifying outcome.”

”I nearly made a mistake once, I cannot afford a second one.”

With these thoughts, Murong Jianyun slowly lifted his head and looked at the Pei Yuxian siblings hovering outside the city tower.

”Murong Jianyun, my patience is limited.”

Pei Yuxian demanded decisively, her face smug to an extreme.

At this time, Dongwu stepped forward, gritting his teeth, ”Great Heaven Decision, the big picture matters more.”

His intent was clear; this was the critical moment of life and death for Overlord Commerce, and protecting the heir of the Overlord Soul could be disastrous.

Though he internally felt sorry for Sikong Jing, it could not be helped.

Suddenly, Murong Jianyun chuckled lightly, smiling under everyone’s gaze, ”Emperor Yu Xian, there was something I didn’t want to say, but now I must.”

”Huh?” Everyone wondered what Murong Jianyun was planning to announce.

The next instant, Murong Jianyun pointed to Sikong Jing, declaring: ”The heir of the Overlord Soul is actually not a non-combatant, he is a Sacred Body!”

With these words, silence fell instantly, shocking everyone present.

Was the heir of the Overlord Soul indeed a legendary Sacred Body?

Even the Pei Yuxian siblings were stunned, their smug expressions frozen in disbelief.

Immediately, Pei Yushan’s expression sharply changed, ”Nonsense, you’re just making excuses.”

Simultaneously, Sikong Jing began to smile gently.

Murong Jianyun had made his decision; he intended to use the Sacred Body as an excuse to counter the demon accusations and was determined to protect Sikong Jing.

”Of course, it’s not an excuse. Why do you think the Overlord Soul chose him as an heir? Precisely because he is a Sacred Body.”

Murong Jianyun stated calmly, ”Originally, this was the top-secret of our Overlord Commerce, but to avoid unjust charges against the heir of the Overlord Soul, we had to make it public.”

With that, Murong Jianyun focused back on the Pei Yuxian siblings, saying slowly, ”Now, do you understand?”

As his voice dropped, Pei Yuxian’s earlier good mood darkened considerably, glaring at Murong Jianyun.

She didn’t expect this old fox to pull such a move.

Finally, Pei Yuxian couldn’t help but shout: ”He is a Sacred Body? Fine, fine, then tell me what kind of Sacred Body he is?”

Shrugging, Murong Jianyun calmly said, ”What type of Sacred Body is inconvenient to disclose now, as we are still assessing. Since Sacred Bodies are rarer than Holy Martial Stage experts, we’ll let you know once confirmed.”

”Now, Nanfeng, see the guests out!”

With that, Murong Jianyun gestured toward Nanfeng, implicitly urging him to see off the Pei Yuxian siblings.

Nanfeng’s mouth dropped in surprise, unsure whether to escort them out.

But he didn’t seem to have a choice...

Murong Jianyun’s words indicated that for now, they were unwilling to hand over the heir of the Overlord Soul.

If there were further objections, Nanfeng would surely face consequences.

Reluctantly, Nanfeng approached the Pei Yuxian siblings, saying, ”Emperor Yu Xian, allow me to escort you out of the city.”
