Berserk God of War

Chapter 1677: Chapter 1677: A Terrifying Identity

”Regardless of Xiu Hanzi, He Congsheng, or Qi Wuji, all must listen to me.”

Since this is a negotiation, Sikong Jing wasn’t being too polite to Old Xiu and the others, responding forcefully: ”Even when it comes to bringing back Grandpa Su’s son, it’s up to me.”

Sikong Jing’s voice remained calm, and naturally, his father-in-law couldn’t take away his right to speak either.

As the words landed, Murong Jianyun’s heart was a whirlwind. He glared at Sikong Jing, with only one thought: On what grounds?

Clearly, Xiu Hanzi should have been the one with the primary say!

Clearly, Sikong Jing was merely someone chosen by Xiu Hanzi, how did he leap to a position with more authority than Su Old Demon’s son? How could such a thing happen?

Unless...

Murong Jianyun’s heart suddenly started pounding uncontrollably as he hoarsely asked: ”Before Su Old Demon died, he met with you!”

He had guessed right!

At this moment, Sikong Jing was seen by Murong Jianyun as not just a remnant of Su Old Demon.

But rather, the heir of Su Old Demon!

This identity was enough to nearly scare him out of his skin, his mind was buzzing, the heir of the Soul Dominator combined with Su Old Demon’s heir, it was simply too wild, too explosive!

Regarding this, Sikong Jing’s gaze suddenly became profound.

Then he said softly, ”I am going to Willow Leaf Saint Manor to bring back my wife. That day, because she was identified as Su Old Demon’s granddaughter, she was forcibly taken away by Willow Leaf Saint Manor.”

He spoke in a storytelling tone... softly narrating...

”That day, my wife and I were in our hometown, Canglong Small Domain, when the people from Willow Leaf Saint Manor suddenly descended. And being a mere small figure from an obscure domain, I was naturally unworthy to become the son-in-law of Willow Leaf Saint Manor.”

”Thus, they ’wiped me out.’”

Murong Jianyun stared at Sikong Jing, his scalp tingling, his mind already imagining the scene at that time.

People from Willow Leaf Saint Manor forcibly took Sikong Jing’s family to snatch the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map from Su Old Demon.

Then attempted to eliminate him, but he did not die.

Instead, he risked everything to borrow the power of Overlord Commerce to reach the Central Plains...

”Given my current situation, I certainly can’t go directly to retrieve my wife; otherwise, I would follow Grandpa Su’s downfall and be hunted down instantly, and it would be even more terrifying than Grandpa Su back then.”

”Hence, I need to use the name of Overlord Commerce.”

”A Holy Body Genius from Overlord Commerce paired with a Sixth Grade Battle Body female genius from Willow Leaf Saint Manor, is certainly a good match.”

At this moment, Murong Jianyun slowly chewed over Sikong Jing’s words, gradually coming to realization.

If he publicly goes to retrieve his wife now, it would be identical to what happened to Su Old Demon back then; hence, Sikong Jing transforms into a genius of Overlord Commerce and heads to Willow Leaf Saint Manor to legitimately bring back his wife.

However, Murong Jianyun shook his head again, saying: ”Your wife is known to be Su Old Demon’s granddaughter, if you become Su Old Demon’s granddaughter’s husband, it will lead many to make connections.”

If Sikong Jing publicly goes to Willow Leaf Saint Manor now to claim his wife, what would people from the Central Plains think?

But Sikong Jing said, ”Even if people make connections now, so what? The Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map is divided into eight pieces; even if I’m Grandpa Su’s heir, is there anything really worth being overly concerned about?”

”As long as I reunite with my wife, some will speculate if I might join Su Old Demon’s ranks, which cannot be changed.”

Su Old Demon’s children would certainly find it easy to join Su Old Demon’s remnants, perhaps Willow Leaf Saint Manor also guards against this.

”I’ve already offended Dead Thousand King Holy Tower completely; adding more enemies won’t matter.” Sikong Jing spoke with a smile.

Grimacing, how could it not matter?

This will lead people to associate Overlord Commerce as colluding with Su Old Demon remnants.

It could lead to speculation that Overlord Commerce might have been involved in the death of Pei Yuxian siblings.

Sikong Jing undoubtedly knew what Murong Jianyun was thinking...

He said quietly, ”It’s the same old saying, sooner or later, I’ll be exposed. What I need now is time.”

”Before sending me to Willow Leaf Saint Manor, it’s unnecessary to mention that my wife and I are already a pair; I’ll feign newly knowing my wife, granting us more time.”

By not openly acknowledging his marital relationship with Su Yuexi initially, no one would start associating things related to Su Old Demon’s heir.

Murong Jianyun closed his eyes again, saying, ”Can you delay your trip? That way, you’ll have more time.”

His implication being, no need to rush.

To this, Sikong Jing’s tone turned low: ”Pei Yuzheng went to Sacred Canggu Peak demanding the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment, Pei Yuxian siblings went to negotiate with Overlord Commerce, Willow Leaf Saint Manor controls Grandpa Su’s family and holds the largest Qianyuan Soldier Fragment...”

”Great Heaven Decision, do you think Dead Thousand King Holy Tower can give us much time?”

His mouth agape, Murong Jianyun understood, Dead Thousand King Holy Tower is already acting, collecting all the Qianyuan Soldier Fragments.

Overlord Commerce has two pieces, Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s piece being the largest, surely the key target.

Even more terrifying, once Dead Thousand King Holy Tower acquires the complete Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, conquest will begin.

Murong Jianyun’s heart kept trembling as he asked further, ”How long do you think it will take?”

That is, how long does Dead Thousand King Holy Tower plan to take to obtain the complete Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map?

Sikong Jing pondered for a moment and said, ”Heavenly Dao Sacred Land is very strong, so the time is hard to estimate, but the time given to Overlord Commerce and other forces like Sacred Canggu Peak is definitely not much, probably within a year and a half.”

The most dangerous Heavenly Dao Sacred Land might be left for the last grab.

But forces like Overlord Commerce will presumably act beforehand, even a year and a half being slightly optimistic.

At this moment, Murong Jianyun truly sensed the terrifying crisis.

Finally, he stared seriously at Sikong Jing: ”Reiterate the trump cards you can offer Overlord Commerce.”

Murong Jianyun was completely moved, driven by the urgent crisis.

Simultaneously, Sikong Jing had already answered his two questions; the former was indeed the leader of Su Old Demon’s remnants now.

On this side, Sikong Jing adjusted his expression and said: ”Domineering Soul Soldier Killing Map, part of Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, people from Dead Thousand King Holy Tower hidden within Overlord Commerce, the matter of Shiyu Commerce has been mentioned...”

”And also, creating at least one more Holy Martial Stage!”

As he finished that sentence, Murong Jianyun shuddered uncontrollably all over...

Sikong Jing continued to look at him with a serious expression: ”Venerable Ba Lian has a high likelihood of reaching the Holy Martial Stage, probably within half a year.”

This was the biggest and strongest bomb he offered Murong Jianyun.

Two Holy Martial Stages versus one were entirely different concepts, already enough to suppress most forces in the Central Plains.

Directly transform from top-tier to the top of the top-tier...

While Murong Jianyun’s heart was ablaze with enthusiasm, Sikong Jing further said: ”But Venerable Ba Lian wasn’t the one I mentioned could ensure at least one Holy Martial Stage because it’s still uncertain; what I meant is a guarantee of that without a doubt.”

Murong Jianyun went blank again, a little confused by Sikong Jing’s words.

Then he stammered, asking: ”You mean, you can certainly create another Holy Martial Stage powerhouse besides Ba Lian?”

If that’s the case, it would be too thrilling.

If Venerable Ba Lian reaches Holy Martial in half a year, wouldn’t that mean there’d be three?

But is it possible?

Murong Jianyun felt Sikong Jing was boasting because it was something he didn’t even dare to dream of achieving.
