Berserk God of War-Chapter 1642: Slim Chances, But We Must Try
In that moment, Pei Yuxian’s expression changed slightly.
However, before she could react, Murong Jianyun had already arrived out of nowhere, bringing with him the Beicang Tianjue.
He, with a single step, stood before Venerable Ba Lian and looked at Pei Yuxian. He lightly clasped his hands and said, "Emperor Yu Xian, why did you come from afar without informing this old man, so that I might fulfill my duty as host?"
His voice was calm and without waves, old yet restrained, courteous yet imbued with a strong sense of deterrence!
More importantly...
The sword light from Murong Jianyun just now vividly demonstrated his power. With one sword, he broke through the sound wave attack of the top-level Emperor Pei Yuxian, showing that his combat power surpassed Pei Yuxian.
To the observers, Murong Jianyun was also a top-level Emperor, but even among top-level Emperors, there are distinctions of strength.
Murong Datian Decision obviously could suppress Pei Yuxian.
Following Murong Jianyun’s words, Pei Yuxian also coldly stared back at him.
Gradually, she showed a slightly displeased expression, but quickly regained her composure and coldly sneered: "Murong Datian Decision is indeed formidable. Tomorrow, I will officially visit you."
At this point, Pei Yuxian looked towards Pei Yushan and said indifferently, "Yushan, let’s go."
With just these two sentences, Pei Yuxian immediately flitted away, and Pei Yushan naturally followed suit.
They left just like that, leaving people astonished.
But Sikong Jing knew very well that since Murong Datian Decision had arrived in time and could suppress her, Pei Yuxian understood she couldn’t take a limb from Venerable Ba Lian nor gain any advantage.
Thus, there was no point for them to stay any longer.
And the so-called formal visit naturally indicated that tomorrow she would officially visit Murong Jianyun in the name of Qianwang Holy Tower.
Then, Pei Yuxian would take Sikong Jing’s head right in front of Murong Jianyun.
Now, it was still nighttime, and the Overlord Commerce vote hadn’t yielded a true result. Qianwang Holy Tower also hadn’t formally visited. Taking his head now wouldn’t be fierce enough, not intimidating enough.
A formal visit, followed by a public execution, was what Pei Yuxian wanted to do.
In an instant, Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan disappeared from the sight of Murong Jianyun and the observers of Teng Mansion, and the entire Teng Mansion quieted down, with everyone’s gaze falling on the airborne Murong Jianyun...
At the same time, Venerable Ba Lian slowly looked toward Murong Jianyun.
He said softly, "Old Murong, it’s been a long time, thank you just now, but regarding Ajing’s matter..."
The threat from Pei Yuxian was clear, so Venerable Ba Lian had to seize this opportunity to say something to Murong Jianyun.
But before he could finish, Murong Jianyun calmly interrupted, "Let’s wait for the result of tomorrow’s vote. Everything will be decided by the vote."
His voice was very calm, still with no fluctuations.
Subsequently, Murong Jianyun’s gaze slightly shifted to Sikong Jing, who was standing on the Split Armor Flying Scorpion.
With just one glance, he was slightly astonished, not because of Sikong Jing’s appearance or anything, but because of the Split Armor Flying Scorpion!
Obviously, the fact that the Split Armor Flying Scorpion had become Sikong Jing’s mount surprised Murong Jianyun.
However, he was only startled for a moment before regaining his composure and without asking much, withdrew his gaze, and said lightly to Venerable Ba Lian, "Alian, your progress is rapid. It would be great if Old Teng were still here."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Ba Lian’s expression suddenly stiffened...
She certainly understood Murong Jianyun’s meaning; it was that Overlord Soul would surely be very pleased if he knew her current strength.
Before she could react, Murong Jianyun smiled and said, "I am going back first. Tomorrow, I will abstain from the vote."
After lightly emphasizing this, he crossed out in the direction of Batian Inner City.
Meanwhile, Beicang deeply observed Venerable Ba Lian for a few moments, similarly without saying anything, and followed along.
Soon after, Murong Jianyun’s voice resounded again, "It’s all right, everyone go home and rest!"
His voice spread far away, naturally addressing the approaching Xi Tu and Dongwu, suggesting they need not come.
Instantly, streams of light stopped with his voice.
Ultimately, the streaks of light all returned, and Xi Tu and Dongwu clearly had no intention of contacting Venerable Ba Lian. Since Murong Datian Decision intervened and all was temporarily calm, there was no need for them to do anything further.
With the sensitive timing of tomorrow’s vote, it was wise for them to avoid any contact with Venerable Ba Lian.
Thus, Overlord City regained its peace, and the Teng Mansion also returned to tranquility, finally devoid of any outsiders.
However, in just a moment... Wow!
Venerable Ba Lian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her body swaying slightly in the air.
In response, everyone present urgently called out, "Venerable Ba Lian!"
And Sikong Jing naturally rushed to steady Venerable Ba Lian, who was about to fall, while riding on the Split Armor Flying Scorpion.
However, before Sikong Jing could say anything, Venerable Ba Lian immediately said, "Let’s go, follow me to Teng Mansion’s small secret realm."
With that, she instructed Sikong Jing to take her on the Split Armor Flying Scorpion and disappeared toward the rear courtyard of Teng Mansion, where the small secret realm was located.
She didn’t dally but appeared extremely anxious.
Before leaving, Sikong Jing naturally briefed Yang Yi, advising everyone to quickly rest and recuperate...
He naturally understood the reason for Venerable Ba Lian’s urgency; she had genuinely realized the gap between herself and a top-level Emperor like Pei Yuxian and was eager to strengthen herself.
Teng Mansion’s small secret realm supposedly contained something that could rapidly enhance her strength, but it depended on whether Sikong Jing could create a miracle again.
In the blink of an eye, Venerable Ba Lian and Sikong Jing arrived at the rear courtyard.
Under her instruction, they descended from the back of the Split Armor Flying Scorpion in front of the rockery where Sikong Jing had first entered Teng Mansion... it was apparent that this rockery was the entrance to the small secret realm.
And at that moment... Wow!
Venerable Ba Lian once again spat out blood fiercely. Sikong Jing hurriedly supported her and asked, "Venerable Ba Lian, are you okay?"
It seemed that Venerable Ba Lian was quite severely injured...
To this, Venerable Ba Lian replied deeply, "I’m fine, not dead yet."
"But tomorrow is likely to be problematic; the strength of top-level Emperors exceeds my imagination."
"I can’t defeat Pei Yuxian, and Pei Yuxian can’t defeat Murong Old Man. Tomorrow we will be very dangerous, extremely dangerous!"
Saying this, Venerable Ba Lian lifted her head, her eyes staring red at Sikong Jing...
And Sikong Jing naturally understood what Venerable Ba Lian meant; she couldn’t withstand a top-level Emperor with her current strength, whether facing Pei Yuxian or any potential suppression from Murong Datian Decision!
"I must become a top-level Emperor before the sun rises, otherwise, I leave my fate entirely to others."
"Ajing, come with me to the secret realm now to see the item..."
"Although the chance is slim, we must try."
Saying that, Venerable Ba Lian gazed at the rockery in front, then unleashed her power to open the entrance to the small secret realm.
