Berserk God of War

Looking at Sikong Jing’s calm and composed expression, Ye Wushen still felt worried in his heart.

He asked hoarsely, ”Ajing, facing a terrifying Holy Martial Stage expert and the troops of Imperial Dragon Mountain, how certain are you?”

He was truly getting nervous now. Last night, when nothing had been confirmed yet, he could still stay calm, but now everything was completely confirmed!

More importantly, they still had no idea how many people Imperial Dragon Mountain would send!

”Hold out for ten days... or eight days at least, and the reinforcements from my Overlord Commerce will arrive.”

Sikong Jing did not answer how confident he was, instead he spoke lightly.

Originally, it would take Murong Jianyun ten days to depart from Overlord City and arrive, but Sikong Jing had sent a message in advance, so the time would be shortened. This was also part of the confidence Sikong Jing gave Ye Wushen— even if he was using him, he couldn’t keep him in terror all the time...

”In short, just do everything according to what I said last night.”

This time, Ye Wushen agreed without the slightest hesitation, promising he would definitely obey his orders.

And when he walked out of Sikong Jing’s Judgement Tower, he happened to run into Ye Wuzhi. He hurriedly said, ”Third Brother, your big brother did many wrong things in the past, don’t take it to heart.”

When he finished speaking, Ye Wushen’s eyes had already narrowed slightly. Of course he wasn’t just here to apologize and smooth things over.

To this, Ye Wuzhi only kept a cold face and didn’t reply...

However, Ye Wushen’s skin was as thick as city walls. He continued with all kinds of nice words, talking about regret and brotherhood and the like, before finally asking his real purpose: ”Third Brother, how did you reach the Emperor Realm?”

Hearing this, Ye Wuzhi couldn’t help but sneer. ”Ye Wushen, in the future if you have something important to ask, just ask directly.”

He did not call him big brother, but directly called him by name.

Ye Wushen was somewhat embarrassed, but he still put on a face full of curiosity and kept forcing himself to keep smiling.

In the end, Ye Wuzhi answered, ”Why do you think Ajing was able to survive the attack of a Holy Martial Stage expert?”

Hearing this, Ye Wushen was instantly at a loss: How the hell would I know?

”For nearly three thousand years, no one has been able to enter Patriarch Liu Duoye’s Holy Tomb, but Ajing is a Sacred Body, so he went straight in.” Saying this, Ye Wuzhi said nothing more and turned to leave.

But very soon, his voice drifted back faintly: ”Remember, don’t say I told you.”

Of course this was to make Ye Wushen keep this matter a secret.

At this moment, Ye Wushen’s entire body was already trembling violently. He stared blankly at Ye Wuzhi’s back, then said, ”Third Brother, you’re still good to your big brother. Big brother will never sell you out, don’t worry!”

In Ye Wushen’s eyes, Ye Wuzhi had definitely softened again.

This was obviously something Sikong Jing wanted him to keep secret, yet he told him. This third brother of his was really stupid to the point of bubbling over.

Anyway, it was completely confirmed!

Sikong Jing definitely had something in his hands that could let people of Willow Leaf Saint Manor reach the Holy Martial Stage, and it wasn’t just the Willow Leaf Holy Wall, it also came from Patriarch Liu Duoye. He’d gone into the Holy Tomb!

And he had definitely used this to cure Ye Wuzhi, and also used it to escape the terrifying strike of that Holy Martial Stage powerhouse.

”I have to curry favor with him, I must get all of Patriarch Liu Duoye’s secrets.”

Thinking this to himself, Ye Wushen happily left the Batian Branch.

But right after, he let out a sinister smile. ”Heh heh, as long as I reach the Holy Martial Stage, I’ll take back from this little beast what should have belonged to Willow Leaf Saint Manor... The things of Patriarch Liu Duoye are not for outsiders to take!”

After muttering this to himself, Ye Wushen flickered and disappeared outside the Batian Branch.

On the other side, Ye Wuzhi came before Sikong Jing.

He looked at Sikong Jing, who was flipping through some documents, and said, ”Ajing, Ye Wushen will now completely obey your every word.”

The so-called chance meeting between Ye Wushen and Ye Wuzhi just now had of course been intentionally arranged by Sikong Jing.

What Ye Wuzhi had said was even less a matter of stupidity or soft-heartedness, and was likewise something Sikong Jing had deliberately told him to say.

The goal was to make Ye Wushen more obedient, especially during the great battle with Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall; they had to make him obey unconditionally.

At this time, Ye Wuzhi spoke again with some concern, ”But in the future, Ye Wushen might turn against you...”

Before he could finish, Sikong Jing slightly lifted his head and smiled. ”Young Master, just be at ease. Ye Wushen can’t beat me at this game.”

Ye Wuzhi’s mouth opened a bit. In his eyes, Sikong Jing instantly became even more terrifying...

He thought, would Sikong Jing really walk down the demonic path?

Seeing Ye Wuzhi’s somewhat simple and worried expression, Sikong Jing spoke softly again, ”If the person opposite you is sincere, treat him with sincerity. When facing shameless people, of course you have to be fiercer and more ruthless than they are. That is the way to survive in this cruel world.”

Sikong Jing understood Ye Wuzhi’s worries about him, so he gave him a reassuring justification and philosophy.

Ye Wuzhi’s entire body trembled violently when he heard this. Only now did he come to fully understand Sikong Jing.

Then, Sikong Jing put away the documents in his hand and said again, ”When my Grandpa Su was young, he always held illusions about Willow Leaf Saint Manor. He thought that one day Willow Leaf Saint Manor would accept his and Granny Ye’s relationship, so he spared their lives till now.”

”But along the way for you and me, Young Master, we’ve seen clearly enough—they’re incorrigible.”

Listening to these words, Ye Wuzhi stood there in a daze and slowly closed his eyes.

If, back then, the young Su Beiheng, Brother-in-law Su, had not held any illusions about Willow Leaf Saint Manor and had directly taken control of Willow Leaf Saint Manor the way Sikong Jing did now, perhaps all those things afterward would never have happened.

Later, Brother-in-law Su had of course seen it clearly as well, but by then he had already been forced onto the path of the Demon, with everyone shouting to kill him.

”Grandpa Su has given me many warnings. Of course I can’t repeat his mistakes.” Sikong Jing spoke again, firm and decisive.

Ye Wuzhi immediately thought of Sikong Jing’s current situation. With Brother-in-law Su’s lessons, would his road be smoother?

No, the path he walked now was even harder than Brother-in-law Su’s back then.

Because very soon, everyone on the Central Plains would know he was Su Old Demon’s grandson-in-law, whereas when Brother-in-law Su started out back then, he didn’t have this background that made everyone want to beat him.

Brother-in-law Su had been able to grow into a top powerhouse of the Central Plains more smoothly, but Sikong Jing had to hack his way forward through thorns at every step.

At this moment, Sikong Jing suddenly smiled again. ”Young Master, you must prepare yourself to become Willow Leaf Manor Master and change everything about Willow Leaf Saint Manor. This was also Patriarch Liu Duoye’s instruction.”

Sikong Jing then went on to tell Ye Wuzhi about Liu Duoye...

The most important point was that Liu Duoye had never laid down any rule against marrying out or marrying in; everything had been fabricated by someone later.

After speaking, Sikong Jing left the Judgement Tower, leaving Ye Wuzhi standing there in a daze, motionless.

...

On this side, Sikong Jing arrived at another building of the Batian Branch.

He met Ye Ke and the other eleven, as well as the dozens of elite side-branch experts of Willow Leaf that he had selected last night...

Seeing Sikong Jing, someone immediately stepped forward and said, ”Great Judge Sikong, we’ve more or less grasped it. Please verify it for us.”

Then they had Sikong Jing examine their results...

When he came back last night, Sikong Jing had spent the entire night instructing everyone present in the Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation, and he also had Ye Ke and the other eleven continually answer their questions.

After half a day, the dozens of newcomers had already achieved some minor results.
