Berserk God of War

Chapter 1732: A Steady Stream, the Money Tree

The Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl was originally called the Thousand Veins Dragon Pearl. It became a terrifying treasure due to the Blood Refining Ancestor setting up the Blood Devouring Array.

Now, Sikong Jing hasn’t completely unlocked the final layer of restriction inside the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl, meaning he hasn’t fully claimed it as his own. As a result, there are still some extremely secretive things within the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl.

Once encountering a strong practitioner from Imperial Dragon Mountain, the Blood Devouring Array automatically emits a subtle, secretive wave.

Even though there was a soundproof barrier around the guest room, Ancestor Han Long still sensed it.

"Master, whether the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl has been taken by someone or not, we should immediately reclaim it..."

The young man beside Ancestor Han Long was also his disciple.

At this moment, he lightly licked the corner of his mouth. He didn’t care about the death of Blood Refining Ancestor nor why the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl suddenly appeared from the remote East Plain, but he was very interested in the Emperor’s Artifact itself.

Once acquired, it would be theirs.

In response, Ancestor Han Long nodded and said coldly, "Let’s first clarify the matter and see who obtained your Blood Refining Master’s Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl. I’ll go out and inquire carefully now..."

Hearing these words, Ancestor Han Long’s disciple’s eyes were full of expectation, rubbing his hands eagerly.

...

Outside Willow Leaf Manor, Sikong Jing, who had already boarded the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, smiled slightly.

Although Ye Wushen was also despicable, someone who values interests above all else isn’t difficult to deal with...

Sikong Jing’s negotiation this time was: release of so-called Sacred Body making him dare not to act rashly, Liu Shitian’s mistake occupying the path first, then proposing marriage with an irresistible betrothal gift for Ye Wushen, making him realize that only by agreeing could he gain the greatest benefits.

But regardless of anything, Sikong Jing always maintained a high-pressure stance towards Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

I am domineering, but you can do nothing about me. If you act against me, the loss will be immense, even total ruin. I’m bullying you, but we might also become relatives, so what will you choose?

Everything went very smoothly, at least for now, Ye Wushen was coerced to the point where he must protect Su Yuexi.

Thinking about it, Sikong Jing suddenly murmured to himself, "Although things are temporarily going smoothly, given the shamelessness of Willow Leaf Saint Manor, there might be more troubles. I need to prepare."

"Especially the Liu Family, they definitely won’t compromise easily."

Another hidden move in Sikong Jing’s negotiation was to create a rift between the Ye Family and Liu Family, making things easier to handle in the future. However, currently, the Liu Family might impulsively act out, so preparations are necessary.

"And regarding the so-called betrothal gift, I need to go back and study further."

At this point, Sikong Jing’s lips curled up slightly...

Would he really offer a grand betrothal gift?

That would depend on Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s future attitude and take into account Su Yue Immortal’s situation. If the other party delays handing her over, Sikong Jing certainly would not easily give a grand betrothal gift.

With that, Sikong Jing stopped thinking further and returned to the Batian Branch.

...

On the other side, in the main hall of Willow Leaf, Ye Wushen finally spoke, "What do you think, how can we maximize the benefits?"

He didn’t mention anything about eliminating Sikong Jing but directly asked about benefits...

This indicated that Ye Wushen no longer intended to send forces for revenge over the Shitian Court incident and had to agree to the Soul Dominator’s marriage proposal. What he wanted now was only benefits.

Hearing this, Liu Shizeng couldn’t help but step forward, "Manor Master, do we really have to accept this?"

In his heart, there was still a strong sense of dissatisfaction!

In response, Ye Wushen’s old face showed a bitter smile, then he took out the Black Jade Paper of the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, saying, "Shizeng, take a look at this Black Jade Paper first. If anyone can unseal it, perhaps we still have a chance not to accept it."

With that, he handed the Black Jade Paper to Liu Shizeng.

In fact, what he had just contemplated was not whether to compromise with Sikong Jing, but how to placate the Liu Family members.

The Black Jade Paper was the first method he thought of...

The next moment, Liu Shizeng naturally tried to break the restriction within but was completely at a loss. Later, the Black Jade Paper was passed around among all the core powerhouses of Willow Leaf without anyone being able to break the restriction within.

When Ye Wushen took back the Black Jade Paper, he added, "Although the Soul Dominator’s heir didn’t say it, this must be one of the betrothal gifts. Just the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array is something we absolutely need to obtain."

Immediately, Liu Shizeng was rendered speechless, especially since he couldn’t unlock the Black Jade Paper.

No matter what, he outwardly had to consider the interests of Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Seeing Liu Shizeng’s silence, Ye Wushen spoke in a low voice again, "The Soul Dominator’s heir can basically be confirmed as a Sacred Body. He himself is also a form of betrothal gift. Having Ye Yuexi marry a Sacred Body seems not bad, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but twitch their mouths; it was not just "not bad," it was exceptionally favorable.

At that time, they would have a Sacred Body as a son-in-law.

This was a stark difference from Elder Su in the past. A non-combatant was a disgrace, but marrying into a Sacred Body was an honor and a prestige.

"Moreover, he can also forcibly control troops; where else can such talent be found?"

Ye Wushen had long agreed in his heart, so he continued to speak positively of Sikong Jing, "You’ve all seen, he even deployed part of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation just now, and this will also be part of the betrothal gift."

As Ye Wushen spoke, the originally angry and unwilling Willow Leaf core members became increasingly tempted.

Now, even some Ye Family members blamed Liu Shitian inwardly. If he hadn’t gone mad and kidnapped Su Yuexi, sparking such a commotion, they wouldn’t even need much consideration for the Soul Dominator’s proposal involving the Sacred Body and grand betrothal gifts...

Yet, they didn’t realize that permitting Su Yuexi’s kidnapping was something Ye Wushen had tacitly allowed.

At that time, Ye Wushen felt it was okay whether Su Yue Immortal married off or not, but now it was impossible. The engagement had been privately agreed upon long ago.

Of course, people thought it couldn’t entirely blame Liu Shitian. Who would have thought Su Yuexi would fall in love with the Soul Dominator’s heir after just one day? It’s absurdly quick, and Su Yuexi had been married before.

She used to insist she had a husband and wouldn’t marry, but now fell head over heels at the sight of someone she liked. It’s utterly shameless.

Despite their silent condemnation, the people of Willow Leaf Saint Manor had to continue discussing interests...

"Now it’s about how to acquire more from the betrothal gift."

Ye Wushen then returned to the previous issue, how to maximize benefits.

"Since he said we could ask for anything, we should not hold back and take everything he can offer."

Hearing this, Willow Leaf Saint Manor’s people began to chatter and discuss...

But it was at this moment that Liu Shizeng quietly added, "There’s also the issue of Su Old Demon’s family not being as loyal to us. They might even despise us, and marrying her off might result in them becoming our enemies."

He still didn’t want to give up and didn’t want this matter to settle easily. All he wanted was to avenge Liu Shitian.

Upon these words, the people paused their debate again.

But Ye Wushen shook his head and smiled, "No matter, as long as we secure enough benefits."

"Also, the bargaining chip of Ye Yue Immortal must not be easily let go. We must hold onto it firmly, ensuring the Soul Dominator’s heir continues to provide us with benefits, treating him as our money tree..."
