Berserk God of War

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Psychic Connection

Cao Yi heard the words and lowered his head, furrowing his brows. The human-shaped demon beast had indeed stayed in the 67th Castle for only a short dozen breaths or so.

”Su Yuexi, is that Sikong Jing’s woman?” Cao Yi suddenly asked.

A glint flashed in Ning Jingjing’s eyes. She had no idea how Cao Yi came to know about Su Yuexi’s situation, but she still nodded and replied, ”She is Sikong Jing’s wife, just in the 66th Town that just happened...”

Ning Jingjing narrated the events concerning Su Yuexi and others in the 66th Town, which, of course, also included the chaos in the town.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi frowned again and asked in a low voice, ”Do you think that Wangyou Sect came to rescue Su Yuexi? You know Sikong Jing better, does he have any connections with Wangyou Sect?”

At this moment, Ning Jingjing became even more convinced that it was Sikong Ling who had sent the demon beast to save her sister-in-law.

Perhaps Sikong Ling had already encountered Sikong Jing.

However, after pondering for a moment, Ning Jingjing still replied with an expressionless face, ”Vice Commander Cao, Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi are both from Canglong Small Domain. Do you think they could have any relations with Wangyou Sect?”

No sooner had she spoken than Cao Yi also opened his mouth. Indeed, there could not be any relation.

Between the two, there was a parallel line that could never intersect.

”Forget it, let’s wait for the Beigong Commander to come back and deal with it later.” Feeling a headache, Cao Yi decided to put the matter on hold for the time being.

And Ning Jingjing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t know the specifics of Sikong Ling and Sikong Jing’s circumstances at present; everything was mere speculation. Thus, of course, she could not reveal the fact that Sikong Jing had a sister in Wangyou Sect.

Mainly, since Wangyou Sect still wanted to kill Sikong Jing, this matter couldn’t be leaked for the time being.

If things were not as she guessed, it could cost Sikong Jing his life.

And so, Ning Jingjing led her eighty thousand troops back to the 66th Town.

Upon arrival, Xia Dalian hurried over to report what had happened in the small woods.

Ning Jingjing was immediately stunned and said, ”You mean, the human-shaped monster had appeared in the Canglong Small Domain before?”

”Yes, I suspect it has something to do with Sikong Jing.”

Xia Dalian nodded firmly, then added, ”It also stole my Er Hong... that is, the Flying Blood Colorful Winged Horse, the one that Sikong Jing always rode. But now, Er Hong doesn’t recognize me anymore.”

Suddenly, Ning Jingjing’s mind became even more chaotic. Could it be that it wasn’t a demon beast sent by Sikong Ling?

Or perhaps Sikong Ling had secretly sent the demon beast, silently protecting her brother all along?

It was too enigmatic; perhaps only Sikong Jing’s return would reveal the answer.

...

In the skies and on the ground of the Long Night Imperial City, tens of millions of demon beast mounts galloped past, startling countless passersby into retreating.

As for the blue Divine Spaceship, it had already been swallowed up among the demon beasts, hardly visible to the naked eye.

”The Long Night Black Burning Army, what are they up to? You can’t be practicing siege warfare in the Long Night Imperial City.”

Many denizens of the Long Night Imperial City recognized these as mounts of the Black Burning Army, and couldn’t help but be dazed.

At the same time, the Black-armored Soldiers of the Black Burning Army also drove their Divine Spaceships to catch up, continuously trying to regain control of the tens of millions of mounts.

Regrettably, no matter what methods they used, none of the mounts heeded their commands.

At this time, Sikong Jing fixed his gaze on the residence of the Lan Family.

As soon as he entered the Imperial City, he had casually grabbed a student dressed in Xingluo Palace attire to guide him to the Lan Family.

At this moment, the unlucky Xingluo Palace student stared at Sikong Jing with a trembling voice and said, ”Demon beast senior, the Lan Family’s place is almost in sight. It’s that manor up ahead, can you let me go?”

The Xingluo Palace student’s face was filled with terror, ceaselessly pleading with Sikong Jing.

However, the response he received was...

Crack, the student’s neck was twisted and broken on the spot, and he was killed instantly.

In the subconscious of Sikong Jing, who had been demonized, all people of Xingluo Palace must die; thus, the latter died after finishing his guidance.

In the Lan Family Mansion, Lan Gou returned home with Su Yuexi and her mother...

”Bring that mother and daughter to me.”

As soon as Lan Gou entered the door, he immediately gave the order and then proceeded to the mansion’s main hall, sitting down carelessly.

Soon, Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang were also brought to the center of the main hall.

Lan Gou squinted his eyes as he stared at the mother and daughter, feeling immensely satisfied.

”Half a month has passed, do you know how I spent this past half month?”

”Both of my sons are dead. My Zhuang River had such a bright future, but he was killed by that Sikong the little beast.”

As he said this, Lan Gou’s face twisted into a ferocious snarl, ”Tell me, how should I punish you two?”

”Master...”

The very next moment, a scream rang out.

A middle-aged woman ran out and, pointing at Su Yuexi and her mother with a distorted face, she shrieked, ”Master, was it their family’s man who killed my dear Zhuang River?”

The middle-aged woman was none other than Zhuang River’s mother, Zhong Li, who glared at Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang like a madwoman.

”Why could your family’s man be so cruel and kill both of my obedient and lovable sons?” Zhong Li’s face twisted with fury as she charged at Mei Xiaofang, slapping her across the face.

However, her blow was blocked by Su Yuexi’s hand.

Seeing this, Zhong Li shrieked again, ”You little whore, you dare to block?”

Su Yuexi stared back at her, discarding her usual frailty as she retorted, ”Have you ever asked what your sons did to deserve death?”

”What did they do? My sons were so filial and lovable, what could they possibly do?” Zhong Li screeched in retort.

Su Yuexi fixed her gaze on Zhong Li and said emphatically, ”Zhuang River tried to harm General Ning, and he also wanted to harm me. He colluded with our 99th Army’s Deputy General Pan Zha, trying to force me to my death.”

She still remembered, half a month ago, she almost got delivered to Zhuang River in the 96th Town by Deputy General Pan Zha for his humiliation!

As for Zhuang River’s brother, he nearly laid his hands on her in Xingluo Palace as well—they deserved to die, of course.

But no matter how vehemently Su Yuexi spoke, Zhong Li didn’t care at all.

”Force you to death? That would be an honor for you.”

”For a little country girl like you coming from the Small Domain to be forced to death by my Zhuang River, it proves that you were worthy of his attention.”

Upon hearing Zhong Li’s words, Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang stood agape, could there really be such a mother?

To force someone to death was an honor?

No wonder the Zhuang River brothers were inhumane; they had such an unreasonable mother.

”Someone, someone come here!”

”Tie these two to the pillar, I want to whip them to death.”

Zhong Li shrieked once more and immediately, guards from the Lan Family rushed in, binding Su Yuexi and her mother.

Then, Zhong Li took a whip and sinisterly approached Su Yuexi and her mother.

”Don’t hit Yue Xi, if you want to hit someone, hit me,” Mei Xiaofang screamed in fear, yet still pleaded.

Zhong Li raised an eyebrow and sneered, ”Neither of you can escape, you both will be hit.”

”I’m going to whip you until your skin splits and your flesh bursts, and I’ll have the guards of the Lan Family take turns playing you to death.”

As she spoke, Zhong Li turned to the surrounding Lan Family guards and ordered, ”Strip them naked.”

Instantly, Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang’s complexions turned ghastly pale.

Su Yuexi screamed, ”As a woman, how could you do something like this?”

”Haha, you think you’re women? Little rural servants from the Small Domain, you’re not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as me,” Zhong Li didn’t see Su Yuexi and her mother as human at all and commanded again, ”Do it!”

And just as a few Lan Family guards with fierce expressions advanced towards Su Yuexi and her mother...

From a distance, aboard the Divine Spaceship, Sikong Jing murmured, ”That’s Yue Xi’s voice. Yue Xi is in danger, Yue Xi, Yue Xi...”

Roar!

The last ”Yue Xi” transformed into a mournful roar, echoing across the sky.

Perhaps it was a connection of the soul, or perhaps Sikong Jing’s demonization had granted him a terrifying spiritual sense.

He seemed to hear Su Yuexi’s voice.

A strong feeling told him if he was even a moment later, it would be too late, but the Lan family was still some distance away!
