Berserk God of War

Chapter 2017: Chapter 2017: Madness and Chaos Above and Below the City

Listening to Murong Jianyun’s narration, the entire city remained silent...

Yet countless experts had a flicker of unusual light in their eyes, naturally pondering over Murong Jianyun’s words.

Various rumors had been flying haphazardly these days, but neither the Qianwang Holy Tower nor the Overlord Commerce had publicly spoken out. Now, as Murong Jianyun began to explain the war in Willow Leaf City, everyone naturally listened quietly.

As for believing or not, each faction naturally has its own ideas and judgments.

Meanwhile, Qian Ta, who was searching for Xiong Tingting, turned back with a chilling demeanor.

Murong Jianyun unexpectedly took this opportunity to speak out on the matter of the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall, though it was within expectations...

The only thing unforeseen was why Xiong Tingting hadn’t yet entered the inner city?

Perhaps Murong Jianyun already had the means to make Pei Xie testify publicly?

If that were the case, it would be very unfavorable for the Qianwang Holy Tower.

Even if Pei Xie were to act as a witness, it would be incredibly difficult for the Overlord Commerce to defeat the Qianwang Holy Tower, but it could have a detrimental effect on the Qianwang Holy Tower’s future conquests of the Central Plains...

This would cause certain factions to heighten their vigilance against the Qianwang Holy Tower, thereby creating immense resistance.

Just as Murong Jianyun’s voice nearly echoed throughout the city, Qian Ta also finally discovered Xiong Tingting’s whereabouts. She remained standing atop the steeds of the Overlord City, flying amidst hordes of demon beasts and Divine Shuttle Ships.

At this moment, Qian Ta heard Xiong Tingting inquire, "Lord Ba Jiang, don’t I need to go to the inner city now?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Jiang of Xianwu Town shook the message bird in his hand and softly said, "No, you temporarily don’t need to go... I just received a message from our Murong Datian Decision saying you should remain in the Batian Outer City for now and only move when necessary."

Indeed, Murong Jianyun, while on the Upper City Tower, naturally sent new orders to this Ba Jiang.

If he intended to protect Xiong Tingting, he naturally had to see it through to the end.

Hearing Ba Jiang’s words, Xiong Tingting naturally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat reassured.

She thought: Young Master Sikong had indeed communicated with Murong Datian Decision, ensuring her safety at this moment.

Yet Xiong Tingting’s mind soon became tense once again.

Suddenly, she sensed Qian Ta’s presence, calling to her... She crazily thought: Would Qian Ta still suspect her, and consequently continue to punish her beloved?

Thinking of this, she quickly looked towards Ba Jiang and asked, "Lord, can I leave now?"

The Ba Jiang from Xianwu Town, of course, didn’t know the chaotic matters involved. He nodded and replied, "Leave a few of your message birds with me, and then you can leave. Be sure to receive my message birds anytime."

Since Datian Decision hadn’t said anything, Xiong Tingting could naturally go.

Upon hearing these words, Xiong Tingting hurriedly nodded, promptly leaving a few of her message birds before jumping off Ba Jiang’s steed.

When she landed on the street, there was already someone else by her side—Qian Ta.

Because so many people surrounded them, he only whispered with a sinister tone, "The situation has changed unexpectedly; do you know why Murong Jianyun suddenly altered his decision not to need you to enter the city?"

As soon as this question was asked, Xiong Tingting’s body slightly trembled, and she replied without turning her head, "Returning to the Master of Dark Tower, I don’t know."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ta’s eyes flickered for a few moments before temporarily not responding.

From the previous conversation between Xiong Tingting and Ba Jiang, it was evident that she was indeed somewhat at a loss.

Thinking of this, Qian Ta no longer paid attention to her and instead looked towards the direction of the Batian Inner City Tower, as Murong Jianyun had finished narrating, now to see what trickery he was up to?

And right at this moment...

Beneath the inner city tower, a voice suddenly refuted, "Murong Datian Decision, why do I hear differently from what you said?"

Then, this voice clearly recounted the matter of Qianwang Holy Tower accusing Overlord Commerce...

Such a voice naturally wouldn’t be surprising to anyone, nor to Qian Ta and Xiong Tingting. Since Qianwang Holy Tower anticipated Murong Jianyun would seize the opportunity to narrate publicly and win over people’s hearts...

It naturally would send someone to publicly oppose and raise doubts.

Murong Jianyun, upon hearing this, was equally unsurprised and calmly replied, "Of course, it’s Qianwang Holy Tower slandering us; and Pei Xie is the greatest evidence..."

Saying this, Murong Jianyun again pointed towards Pei Xie...

And just then that voice from beneath the city tower snickered in response, "Then let Master Pei Xie admit it personally."

As this person spoke, others from some factions instigated by Qianwang Holy Tower also joined in the uproar, demanding that Murong Jianyun have Pei Xie personally confirm this matter; otherwise, they wouldn’t believe...

In an instant, the scene beneath the tower where a hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation was purchased became increasingly fiery.

Those unaware of the truth momentarily wouldn’t voice any opinions but were eager to know what Pei Xie would say.

Faced with such a scene, Murong Jianyun had already anticipated it, remaining as calm as ever.

He slowly turned toward Pei Xie, whose voice had temporarily been sealed, and softly said, "Pei Xie, you can speak now."

After speaking, Murong Jianyun unexpectedly lifted the sealing on Pei Xie’s mouth.

The latter was then left stunned, and for a moment seemed somewhat confused.

What was Murong Jianyun up to? He hadn’t even subdued me yet he allowed me to speak publicly...

Wasn’t he afraid I’d say something detrimental to Overlord Commerce?

Previously in the Heavenly Decision Hall, Murong Jianyun said I didn’t need to act as a witness and mentioned making my death exhilarating.

What exactly was in his gourd? What medicine was he selling?

Not only Pei Xie was bewildered, but also Beicang and others were very puzzled, unclear about Murong Jianyun’s purpose, though they knew Sikong Jing was to kill, but couldn’t have Pei Xie speak?

On this side, Murong Jianyun seemed profound, reiterating, "Pei Xie, you may speak now."

At this moment, Murong Jianyun had already realized Sikong Jing was pursuing Ba Lie Venerable, nearing the interior of Overlord City.

Ba Lie Venerable temporarily concealed his aura while weaving through the crowd.

Naturally, Sikong Jing’s pursuit was akin.

But Murong Jianyun had already received Sikong Jing’s slight aura signal, hence immediately allowing Pei Xie to speak...

Next, everything was left to Sikong Jing...

Except for Murong Jianyun, everyone’s attention was fixed on Pei Xie, ignoring Sikong Jing and Ba Lie Venerable’s presence, given that now the scene was bustling and lively.

Many experts also hurried over from various quarters, weaving through the crowd.

Even Qian Ta was merely puzzled and sinisterly focused on Pei Xie.

He pondered whether Pei Xie had truly been subdued?

Finally, under countless gazes, Pei Xie, known as the world’s number one Array Master, grinned; becoming a fearsome Soldier Formation Master meant his disposition was far from ordinary.

Thus, without hesitation, he opened his mouth and shouted, "All of it is nonsense..."

The voice fell, reverberating across the entire Overlord City!

At that moment, the scene fell into a deadly silence, then Pei Xie coldly continued, "What Murong Jianyun said, is all nonsense."
