Berserk God of War

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Dark Wing Young Sculpture

Baili Que lifted her head upon hearing this and replied, ”Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace, He Jia and Shui Yuyin.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s eyes erupted with an intense cold glint...

At that moment, Baili Que spoke in a low voice, ”If I hadn’t battled with that demon beast guarding the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core for a day and a night, they absolutely could not have snatched away the core.”

As she spoke, Baili Que gritted her teeth in anger.

She then explained to Sikong Jing what had happened in the Cold Flame Forest.

During a previous adventure for training, Baili Que had already learned of the location of the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core within the Cold Flame Forest, but around many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, there would always be terrifying demon beasts guarding them.

Previously, Baili Que was not strong enough to dare to attempt retrieving it...

It wasn’t until she acquired Sikong Jing’s six Black Refining Dark Hook Claws that she felt confident enough.

Even so, she had to battle the demon beast for a full day and night before she succeeded in killing it.

And when she took the core and was about to leave, that’s when He Jia and other Heavenly Dao Palace students appeared, claiming that the core belonged to their Heavenly Dao Palace.

In the end, it was as Sikong Jing knew.

Baili Que was severely injured by He Jia and others, became a prisoner at their feet, and the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core was taken from her.

”However, the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core is not in He Jia’s possession but was taken away by Shui Yuyin. This female student of the Heavenly Dao Palace did not accompany He Jia in escorting me to the Long Night Imperial City.”

”After leaving the Cold Flame Forest, Shui Yuyin left alone with the core.”

In the end, Baili Que addressed the issue that Sikong Jing was most concerned about.

When Baili Que was sent to the Long Night Imperial City, it was led by He Jia, and she clearly knew who all were involved.

”So you’re saying, the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core is currently at the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace?”

Sikong Jing frowned deeply, now this was going to be troublesome.

With his current strength, challenging the Heavenly Dao Palace students was no problem at all, but they also had elders and instructors among others—would they let him easily take the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core away?

Probably the best outcome would be that he could leave, but would still be unable to take the core.

”It should not be in the Heavenly Dao Palace. At that time, I heard Shui Yuyin saying she would take the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core home to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday.”

”And Shui Yuyin is the young lady of the Shui Family of Wenti City.”

Upon hearing this, a glint of determination flashed through Sikong Jing’s eyes, and he declared without hesitation, ”Let’s go, head to Wenti City!”

...

An hour later, in the Long Night Wenti City, Sikong Jing and his two companions on two mounts arrived at the Wanbao Pavilion.

Manager Wan, who had just returned with Lang Yizhan, hurried out to greet them upon receiving the news, and inquired, ”Second Young Master Lang graces us with your presence, may I ask how I can be of service to you?”

Manager Wan looked at Lang Yisuo with a face full of eagerness to please, but a glint of suspicion flickered in his eyes.

Having just left Long Wenti Hall, why had Second Young Master Lang followed so quickly? Could he have changed his mind about dealing with Lang Yizhan?

Meanwhile, Lang Yisuo got straight to the point and asked, ”What kind of family is the Shui Family of Wenti City?”

This question deepened the confusion on Manager Wan’s face, but he promptly answered.

”The Shui Family is one of the strongest families in Wenti City. Its Family Head, Shui Bingqu, is a high-level master of the Third Realm of Daoist Martial. However, what makes people truly wary of the Shui Family is not Shui Bingqu, but their young lady, Shui Yuyin.”

”This lady is an Inner Palace Student of the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace and ranks within the top five in the Heavenly Dao Palace.”

”Her Martial Arts Talent is terrifying to the extreme; it is said she has reached the Xuanhai Realm, and her future is immeasurable.”

Even Manager Wan was full of praise for Shui Yuyin, and after speaking, he looked at Lang Yisuo and asked, ”Young Master, today happens to be the birthday celebration of Shui Bingqu. Are you planning to attend?”

After speaking, the shopkeeper still looked at the three men with confusion, not understanding why they suddenly wanted something from the Sikong family.

But a bad premonition lingered...

At this moment, Lang Yisuo and Baili Que both turned their eyes to Sikong Jing.

Today is Shui Bingqu’s birthday celebration, and Shui Yuyin will definitely be at the Sikong family’s home to offer the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core as a birthday gift. However, if they waited until the birthday feast was over and Shui Bingqu stored away the flower core, it would be even more troublesome.

And since Shui Bingqu is a powerhouse of the Third Realm of Daoist Martial, outright robbery was definitely not an option.

Considering this, Lang Yisuo said softly, ”Junior Brother Sikong, with my status, if I go to ask for it, the Sikong family would not dare to refuse.”

As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper’s heart shuddered, indeed it was not a good affair.

However, Sikong Jing muttered to himself, ”Third Realm of Daoist Martial...”

After finishing, he suddenly turned to the shopkeeper and asked, ”In Wanbao Pavilion, do you have any demon beast mounts that have reached the Daoist Martial Realm?”

The shopkeeper’s spirits jolted, and he quickly replied, ”There are no tamed mounts, but we have just acquired a Dark Winged Dragon Eagle of the Second Realm of Daoist Martial, which has yet to be tamed.”

Dark Winged Dragon Eagle?

Sikong Jing’s eyes lit up as he spoke quickly, ”Excellent, I’ll take it.”

In an instant, the shopkeeper’s expression changed slightly as he hurriedly explained, ”The Dark Winged Dragon Eagle is a terrible Fierce Beast, and ordinary people simply can’t tame it, plus it was Third Young Master Lang who instructed us to purchase it... uh!”

When Lang Yizhan was mentioned, the shopkeeper’s voice got stuck.

”Lang Yizhan instructed it? Then I must have it all the more, as for it being untamed...”

At this point, Sikong Jing showed a slight smile and said lightly, ”Bring it over then.”

The shopkeeper’s mouth fell open as he instinctively looked towards Lang Yisuo.

”Since Junior Brother Sikong asked you to bring it over, don’t talk nonsense, just bring it over right away.”

Lang Yisuo had an absolute trust in Sikong Jing, without the need to even consider.

In the end, the shopkeeper had no choice but to send someone to bring the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle over. The Dark Winged Dragon Eagle was not large in size, only about the height of two men, but when it stretched its wings like swords, they spanned several meters long.

Its body carried a tyrannical and terrifying aura, and its sharp, hateful gaze swept over everyone present as if it wished to devour them all.

For someone like Lang Yisuo, he couldn’t help but shiver fiercely, intimidated by its gaze.

At this, the shopkeeper took a deep breath and looked at Sikong Jing again.

”Young man, I know you are a Martial Arts Genius.”

”But the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle belongs to the category of Fierce Beasts, entirely different from ordinary demon beasts. Even if it is only a Second Realm Dark Wing Young Sculpture, it can easily tear apart an ordinary Third Realm demon beast.”

”Taming it requires a lengthy process.”

”Even the most skilled Beast Tamer in East Plain Northern Land would need at least three months, not to mention that such Fierce Beasts would rather die than easily submit to the Human Clan.”

The shopkeeper’s words were earnest and kind, trying to urge Sikong Jing to reconsider his actions.

If Sikong Jing were to be devoured by the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Second Young Master Lang.

However, Sikong Jing merely nodded casually and stepped closer to the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle in front of him while replying, ”Indeed, Fierce Beasts won’t be easily tamed by people; they have their own fierce pride.”

”Indeed so...”

The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Sikong Jing understood and would no longer stubbornly try to subdue it.

But in the very next moment, the shopkeeper cried out in alarm, ”Wait, young man, don’t touch it!”
