Berserk God of War

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1724: Yue Xi Returns First, Bearing Gifts

Now, the strong individuals of Willow Leaf Saint Manor were all prepared to tear the Soul Dominator’s Heir to pieces, and someone even whispered, ”Not only that, we must take an eye for an eye and flatten the Batian Branch.”

However, Ye Wushen, after his eruption of anger, suddenly calmed down.

After a slight change in his expression, he suddenly swept his gaze over all the Willow Leaf powerhouses: ”Don’t act rashly. If the Soul Dominator’s Heir dares to do this, he must have some confidence. Maybe the Batian Branch is a heaven and earth net for us.”

As his voice fell, all the angry people shuddered slightly, considering this possibility.

Without a dragon’s pool or tiger’s den, how could the Soul Dominator’s Heir dare to act so audaciously in Willow Leaf City?

But Ye Wuyu gritted his teeth and replied, ”But brother, can we really do nothing? Soon this affair will spread across the city, maybe even throughout the Central Plains, and we cannot afford to lose face.”

The affair at Shitian Court was like stepping on their heads and defecating; they absolutely could not remain silent regardless of the situation.

To this, Ye Wushen pondered slightly before saying, ”Let’s go back to the manor first, gather our forces, and then surround the Batian Branch. We’ll start the Soldier Killing Array and crush the Batian Branch bit by bit.”

”We’ll encircle the Batian Branch layer by layer and then flatten it step by step.”

As Ye Wushen spoke, the eyes of the crowd sparkled, listening attentively.

”This way, we can demonstrate our might and force the Batian Branch to wail while ensuring we don’t fall into a trap.”

”And if the Soul Dominator’s Heir doesn’t have the cards to oppose us, then we can directly flatten the Batian Branch to the ground.”

Hearing this, the Willow Leaf powerhouses nodded repeatedly...

They, being at the venerable level and above, could possibly fall into a trap, especially since they were few in number. If two top-level emperors suddenly appeared with formations and Emperor’s Artifacts in sync, they would surely suffer casualties.

But if the entire Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s forces were mobilized, there would be no problem at all.

This is Willow Leaf City, and their advantage lies in their numbers.

Additionally, creating a large spectacle would let everyone know the consequences of offending the Willow Leaf Saint Manor; even the Overlord Commerce would face the same fate.

This is to restore the face lost with the destruction of Shitian Court.

”Furthermore, Shitian might also have been captured by the Soul Dominator’s Heir, and we must press him to return the people,” Ye Wushen added quietly.

After receiving everyone’s affirmation, he heavily declared, ”Let’s go back immediately.”

Thus, under Ye Wushen’s leadership, the Willow Leaf powerhouses returned to the Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Ye Wushen then issued orders to gather the main forces of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor. Immediately, the True Qi and Soldier Killing Array energies of the manor surged, and countless people and demon beast mounts gathered around the Willow Leaf Saint Manor...

An hour later, the assembly was complete.

Then, Ye Wushen began to address the soldiers of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor, revealing the destruction of Shitian Court.

However, he could not tell the ordinary soldiers of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor the full truth. He merely stated that it was the Soul Dominator’s Heir’s humiliation and declaration of war against the Willow Leaf Saint Manor, and they must rescue Liu Shitian and flatten the Batian Branch.

”Flatten the Batian Branch...”

Everyone was stirred up, harboring a strong urge against the Batian Branch.

Meanwhile, in a corner on a small mountaintop far away where the troops were assembling, Mei Xiaofang, looking pale, asked, ”Zhenglong, did Ye Wushen say that Yuexi was taken? What’s going on?”

Mei Xiaofang, staying inside the Willow Leaf Saint Manor, could clearly hear Ye Wushen’s frantic mobilization of troops.

She also heard his earlier words.

It was just those less truthful speeches...

Just earlier, Ye Wushen told the Willow Leaf soldiers that Su Yuexi was also present in Shitian Court last night, and the Soul Dominator’s Heir declared war on them under the excuse of wanting to save the granddaughter of Su Old Demon...

Naturally, he also mentioned that Su Yuexi was kidnapped by the Soul Dominator’s Heir, causing Mei Xiaofang to be nervous and anxious.

As for the previous incident of Liu Shitian abducting Su Yuexi, planning to let Liu Zhi have his way, Ye Wushen said nothing about it.

These tacitly approved events could not be publicly disclosed.

Otherwise, it would have been detrimental to Ye Wushen’s reputation.

Regarding Mei Xiaofang’s nervousness, Su Zhenglong could only hold her hand tightly and said, ”It’s okay, it’ll be okay.”

He was just as anxious, knowing that Ye Wushen was about to attack the Batian Branch.

He couldn’t predict what would happen next, as Sikong Jing hadn’t informed him of the plan, and telling Mei Xiaofang everything would only increase her fear and worry.

At least, for now, the pretext for Ye Wushen’s mobilization was to save Su Yuexi.

So Su Zhenglong just hid in a corner of a small mountain, watching from afar the mobilization of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Just then, Ye Wushen finished his speech and commanded loudly, ”Set out, flatten the Batian Branch, rescue Shitian Venerate, rescue... Ye Yuexi!”

At this moment, Ye Wushen deliberately emphasized rescuing Su Yuexi to enhance her value and status within the Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

If she were indeed to be offered as a gift to a powerful backer later, this bargaining chip would be magnified.

With his words, the crowd shouted in unison, ”Flatten the Batian Branch, rescue Shitian Venerate, rescue Ye Yuexi!”

Yet, at the moment when morale was high at the Willow Leaf Saint Manor, ready to set off...

A chilly voice suddenly echoed: ”I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but I’ve already returned.”

As the voice fell, the Willow Leaf soldiers who were shouting in unison suddenly paused in bewilderment.

The cold and murderous faces of Ye Wushen and the other powerhouses also froze.

The next moment... roar!

A Double-Horned Demon Tiger appeared suddenly, and the person riding atop was the very person everyone was preparing to rescue. Dressed in a jade-green dress, who could it be but Su Yuexi?

”Yuexi?” Mei Xiaofang also saw from afar and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Su Zhenglong’s eyes widened, and he quickly glanced around, but apart from Su Yuexi, he saw no one else.

Sikong Jing didn’t return with her? Why did Yuexi come back alone?

At this moment of general befuddlement, the Double-Horned Demon Tiger landed on the ground, stopping several dozen meters in front of Ye Wushen and the others.

Then, Su Yuexi gently lifted her dress and gracefully dismounted.

Once on the ground, Su Yuexi calmly looked at Ye Wushen, giving a slight bow: ”Manor Master, Grand Uncle, I’ve returned.”

At this moment, Ye Wushen and the others were still a bit stunned.

Why did Su Yuexi return? Why did the Soul Dominator’s Heir let her come back?

”Could it be...”

Suddenly, Ye Wushen thought of something, then intensely stared at Su Yuexi: ”It’s good that you’re back. Now return home to rest immediately. We still need to set off to save Shitian Venerate.”

Speaking this, he gave Su Yuexi a warning, laden with murderous intent in his eyes.

He speculated that Su Yuexi might be siding with outsiders.

She had appealed to the Soul Dominator’s Heir for help, and Ye Luuwei among others mentioned her having a somewhat ambiguous relationship with the Soul Dominator’s Heir at the banquet hall, so her return at this time was likely to cause trouble for the Soul Dominator’s Heir, warranting Ye Wushen’s stern warning.

If she dared to speak carelessly, the consequences would be dire...

However, Su Yuexi showed no fear of Ye Wushen’s warning, and instead, said clearly and coldly, ”Grand Uncle, I returned this time with a gift, the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array.”

Saying this, Su Yuexi immediately took out the Black Jade Paper given to her by Sikong Jing from her storage space.

It was indeed a bargaining chip for negotiation.
