Berserk God of War

Chapter 2025: Chapter 2025: Auctioning Qian Yuan, Qian Ta’s Pursuit

Qian Ta stood there dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Ever since Sikong Jing eliminated Ba Lie Venerable, he had been relentlessly pondering to figure everything out.

Suddenly, he seemed to have caught onto something and awoke with a start: "Again with retreating to advance, damn it all, it’s deliberate, to expel the Soul Dominator’s Heir so that we cannot accuse Overlord Commerce of colluding with the Su Old Demon remnants."

"And to create such a sensational scene in front of so many people, just to let the whole world know."

"Only through sensationalism can news spread faster..."

Xiong Tingting listened to this, her heart trembled and she immediately understood.

Then she finally understood why Murong Jianyun and the others turned away, because of their internal conflict.

Young Master Sikong will bear it all, just to buy time for Overlord Commerce.

Every step is meant to stall the time and pace of Qianwang Holy Tower’s declaration of war, each step is to keep Overlord Commerce in a favorable position, and he will become the Demon Master Sikong hunted by all...

"What a Soul Dominator’s Heir, really ruthless to himself."

"Deliberately expelling, is it?"

"Then I’ll pursue and hunt the Soul Dominator’s Heir right now; if I publicly capture the demon, how will you, Murong Jianyun, respond?"

All the above was indeed said by Qian Ta, and he immediately took action.

Sikong Jing is now left alone, and Murong Jianyun certainly can’t help him openly anymore, so Qian Ta can move forward to capture him, to let Murong Jianyun and others know what pain feels like.

In a flash, Qian Ta had vanished from beside Xiong Tingting, pursuing in Sikong Jing’s direction.

Xiong Tingting watched, instantly flustered, worrying about what will happen if Young Master Sikong is caught; but she can do nothing, not even send a message to inform Sikong Jing, it’s an impossible matter.

It would be very easy for Qian Ta to discover such attempts.

As Qian Ta left, Murong Jianyun had already turned back around, opening his mouth to break the chaotic scene...

"Everyone is here to purchase the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, yet are distracted by such matters."

"I, Murong Jianyun, here apologize to everyone."

The crowd below heard, still frozen by the atmosphere and not knowing what to say.

Even those who had been clearing the name of Qianwang Holy Tower were temporarily out of words, no one told them what to say now.

At this point, Murong Jianyun continued: "To apologize to everyone, I have decided to continue selling the second batch of Black Jade Paper for the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, rushed out overnight, today..."

Upon these words, a low murmur of delight arose, temporarily forgetting the previous situation.

Today, Overlord Commerce announced only the first batch would be sold, not everyone could buy, it was first come first serve, and now a second batch is available, naturally, those at the back of the line were overjoyed.

Murong Jianyun continued: "I also have another announcement."

He suddenly shook the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map Black Jade Paper in his hand, saying: "This is a part of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation left by Sikong Jing to repay Overlord Commerce’s nurturing, and I plan to set a date for auction."

The moment he finished speaking, the word auction was heavily emphasized by Murong Jianyun, making the whole scene instantly silent.

After three breaths... wow!

The commotion erupted wildly, as if the entire Overlord City could shake.

Murong Jianyun actually said he would auction off the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, even if it’s only a part, it’s still shockingly surprising.

Could it have been misheard, how could this be possible?

At the same time, Qian Ta, who was pursuing Sikong Jing, was violently shaken, nearly falling to the ground.

He incredulously stopped, unwilling to believe it, looking toward where Murong Jianyun was, his eyes widening.

"Everyone, please quiet down..."

Murong Jianyun’s voice arose again, suppressing the commotion, then continued: "Of course, the date is to be determined, and we still need to study these Black Jade Papers left by Sikong Jing."

"But I assure you, there will undoubtedly be an auction for the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, and it certainly won’t be the lowest level."

"We might even follow the example of the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array with a comprehensive sale of relatively lower level Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation."

"Good things should indeed be shared by everyone."

Saying this, Murong Jianyun looked again at the people below the city, deeply observing them, stating: "I also want to say that our Overlord Commerce is a business, we merely like making money, we have no interest whatsoever in conquering the world."

"So for now, we’ll discuss among ourselves and announce the date as soon as it’s decided."

Finishing, Murong Jianyun again clasped his fists in a gesture to the entire city, then turned briskly to descend the watchtower.

The other high-ranking members of Overlord Commerce, regardless of their thoughts, followed suit in step...

Watching Murong Jianyun and others gradually disappear, the crowd outside the inner city erupted into a murmur once again; soon numerous Message Birds flew out of sight—they needed to inform the Sect Masters and elders of their sects.

The Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map being openly auctioned had to be communicated to their Sect Masters.

This matter was far greater than the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array.

Even if the auction items from Overlord Commerce were only a tenth of the full power of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, it was necessary to seize them; after all, they weren’t fragmented maps but usable soldier killing formations.

Yet many individuals stealthily slipped out of the crowd, each speaking sinisterly: "To hell with the auction, just capture the Soul Dominator’s Heir Sikong Jing, and have everything without spending a dime."

Thus, many began discreetly tracking Sikong Jing’s whereabouts.

Now that he’s been expelled from Overlord Commerce, they wouldn’t fear retaliation upon capturing him.

They could even claim a reward from Qianwang Holy Tower, exciting!

...

Meanwhile, Qian Ta was naturally ahead of these people, continuing to pursue Sikong Jing, simultaneously sending out a Message Bird to inform Pei Kuang; the auction of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map must be immediately known by the Tower Master.

At the same time, Sikong Jing’s strategic departure from Overlord Commerce also had to be communicated to the Tower Master...

Qian Ta’s heart surged with murderous intent at this moment, finally locating Sikong Jing by a lake a quarter-hour later, where the latter was quietly seated by the deserted lakeside, with the Split Armor Flying Scorpion half-floating in the water.

Upon landing... whoosh!

Qian Ta used his Spiritual Shadow Power to scan the surroundings, finding nothing threatening.

Thus, he calmed down, eyes fixed on Sikong Jing, hands already deploying a True Qi Barrier to envelop the area...

And Sikong Jing equally raised his head to look back at him, calmly asking: "Do you want my life, or the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map?"

Sikong Jing was well aware of who the pursuer was, though he hadn’t yet revealed it...

Thud, thud, thud...

Qian Ta approached step by step, the terrifying Holy Martial Stage aura pressing towards Sikong Jing, directly counter-questioning: "Was retreating to advance and expulsion from Overlord Commerce your plan? Was auctioning the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map your plan too?"

He did not answer Sikong Jing’s previous question, but instead kept a firm gaze fixed upon the latter.
