Berserk God of War

When Sikong Jing spoke, the old man’s face instantly stiffened...

It wasn’t much to mention the matter of Shuibo Lake, but revealing the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird seemed too risky. It seemed the old man of Black Copper Manor feared more than just Sikong Jing reporting to Holy Craftsman Mountain.

With a slight smile, Sikong Jing stood up without pursuing further and said, "Thank you for the information. I’ll be on my way."

Thus, Sikong Jing slowly stepped out of the door, then suddenly paused and added, "Once you reach Overlord City, you can find someone from the Bai Family of the Ba Lian Lineage and tell them you met me. They will take care of you."

Having said that, Sikong Jing took large steps and disappeared into the Black Copper Manor shop.

The old man of Black Copper Manor couldn’t help but widen his eyes. The reason he revealed these extremely dangerous secrets was that he had already pledged allegiance to Overlord Commerce. What he told the disciples of Black Copper Manor earlier was not entirely true.

He not only wanted to leave Fire Artisan City but also planned to reopen his shop in Overlord City...

So, before his departure, he naturally decided to betray the Holy Craftsman You Family, which had allied with Qianwang Holy Tower.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious man in black was actually from Overlord Commerce, and after Sikong Jing was completely out of sight, the old man of Black Copper Manor suddenly felt a sense of dread. If the man in black wasn’t an enemy of the Holy Craftsman You Family, he would be done for.

He gently touched the injury on his face where he had been slapped, and it still hurt...

"Although it was too rash and risky, it seems like there’s a significant reward."

The old man of Black Copper Manor suddenly felt secretly excited. They might not be a great force, but with the words of the man in black, once they reached Overlord City, their treatment would greatly improve.

So the old man of Black Copper Manor began to make preparations for leaving Fire Artisan City and secretly contacted people from the Batian Branch.

Meanwhile, the Batian Branch in Fire Artisan City had also been driven out by the Holy Craftsman You Family.

...

Leaving the Black Copper Manor, Sikong Jing continued walking on the streets of Fire Artisan City, with a slight smile on his face.

He naturally continued to make his way towards Shuibo Lake, and he secretly said to himself, "Although I know this secret, the Holy Craftsman Fu Family has guarded it for three hundred years, and they probably won’t tell me easily..."

"Hmm, I’ll first go to Shuibo Lake to meet and investigate the target figure before assessing the situation."

Now Sikong Jing’s main goal was the Thousand Prison Tower, and acknowledging the Space Holy Key depended on timing and opportunity. Furthermore, there were powerful fierce beasts related to space transmission in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.

He didn’t necessarily need the secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird.

However, if he could grasp the Mechanical Messenger Bird of the Holy Craftsman Fu Family, it would be crucial for the future war.

By then, the entire battlefield might spread across the world, and having the fastest Message Bird would obviously provide a favorable strategic position, which is also why Qianwang Holy Tower is fully invested in subduing Holy Craftsman Mountain.

Soon, night fell...

Sikong Jing also arrived near Shuibo Lake. At this moment, the central island of Shuibo Lake was radiating with brilliance, earning it the reputation of a famed place of fireworks, though one had to cross the lake to reach it.

At this time, Sikong Jing found that the surroundings of Shuibo Lake were crowded with people, all gathered by the lakeside waiting for something.

Each one dressed differently, clearly indicating that many were not local residents of Fire Artisan City.

They seemed to be admirers who came from afar but had to stay gathered at the lakeside due to their insufficient status to gain entry.

Meanwhile, there were beast chariots adorned with jewels and small Divine Shuttle Ships weaving through the crowd, entering the waters of Shuibo Lake heading towards the central island.

The lakeshore attendees watched them with eyes full of envy.

"I really envy those who can enter Shuibo Lake. I wonder when we will ever have the opportunity to go in."

At this moment, Sikong Jing heard such voices among the crowd...

"Don’t even think about it. Even if you have money, you can’t enter Shuibo Lake. You must be a person of status and significance."

"And recently, as you know, because of the events in Overlord City and Demon Master Sikong, chaos is about to erupt worldwide."

"Holy Craftsman Mountain has already decided to support Qianwang Holy Tower, so those able to enter Shuibo Lake tonight are all incredibly important guests of Holy Craftsman Mountain, and it must be parties supporting Qianwang Holy Tower."

With these words, Sikong Jing understood that tonight’s Shuibo Lake seemed to be a grand banquet organized by the Holy Craftsman You Family.

It was all arranged to discuss how to support Qianwang Holy Tower...

Immediately, someone else chimed in, saying, "With such a grand event, Shuibo Fairy Fu Miaoling is sure to perform, and having the chance to hear her ethereal tune here is already a great blessing."

Hearing the name "Fu Miaoling" caused a slight flicker of light in Sikong Jing’s eyes. She was his target figure.

Sikong Jing now understood that so many people had gathered here, not just drawn by the fame of Shuibo Lake, but solely to hear Fu Miaoling’s ethereal melody from afar...

The popularity of this woman was astonishing.

Unfortunately, this was not her intention. She could have been the Holy Daughter of Holy Craftsman Mountain, yet now she had become a fireworks girl performing music.

The next moment, someone sighed repeatedly and said, "Do you think at such a grand gathering, can Shuibo Fairy manage to protect herself from those scoundrel men? I feel it’s really hard."

Upon hearing this, those around sighed again, thinking that Fu Miaoling might very likely be offered to Qianwang Holy Tower.

Her beauty and allure would surely become a bargaining chip for Holy Craftsman Mountain.

Another person, with eyes reddened, emphatically stated, "Absolutely not. Shuibo Fairy can definitely hold her own. She performs art, not her body."

Despite this declaration, the crowd continued their lament.

Perhaps before, it was possible, but now it was nearly impossible. In such chaotic times, who could still distinguish between art and body trade, even if it were the direct lineage daughter of the Holy Craftsman You Family, she would have to be sacrificed if necessary!

And not to mention, she was merely nurtured by Holy Craftsman Mountain.

As the old man of Black Copper Manor had said, almost no one knew of the Fu Family’s existence now, nor did they know that Fu Miaoling held the ultimate secret of the Mechanical Messenger Bird, so she was regarded merely as a fireworks woman with no standing.

Buzz...

While the crowd continued their discussion, a gentle melody suddenly emanated from the central island of Shuibo Lake, bringing the entire scene to a halt.

Countless people widened their eyes and said, "Fu Miaoling’s ethereal tune is here."

"Don’t speak, don’t disrupt my listening to the melody. The sound here is already faint." Another firmly scolded.

Immediately followed by a silence so profound, you could hear a pin drop as countless people quietly listened to the ethereal tune.

One by one, they fell into a trance.

Sikong Jing also stood still, quietly listening to this piece, as a distressed and melancholic feeling took shape in his heart, the kind of tune only possible after enduring countless oppressions.

It was incredibly soothing, yet it invoked a sense of tears, as if the brilliant Shuibo Lake turned mournful...

Buzz...

Suddenly, the sound of the qin amplified, and waves of sound burst forth from the waters of the lake.
