Chapter 500: Chapter 389: Mysterious Main City (Third update)

Soon, Su Yu had crushed all the iron locks on the bodies of Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui and others. Meanwhile, Jiang Hai stood there in disbelief, almost unable to trust his own eyes.

Ada jumped back onto Su Yu’s shoulder. The blood, as pale as milk, flowed continuously from the Category 5 Lifeform she had just killed. Where the blood touched, it sizzled, and quickly turned the ordinary land into a field of translucent, crystal clear jade-like stones.

Jiang Hai stood on one side, his face bearing a strange expression, as if he still could not accept what was happening in front of him.

When the scene seemed to stabilize, Qin Jiagui hurriedly found Su Yu and anxiously said, "Su Yu, Freedom Village’s other people are still in the hands of the enemy. We must rush back immediately."

Su Yu nodded at him and then walked towards Jiang Hai. With a smile on his face, he said, "Jiang Hai, come with me."

Jiang Hai showed a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Victory goes to the king, and defeat to the bandit. Su Yu, you are indeed a formidable person, far more terrible than we expected in our intelligence reports. And this Category 5 Lifeform on your shoulder... is not simple either. Our City Lord’s Category 5 Lifeform had already reached the sixth stage of growth but was killed so easily..." He shook his head, looking at Su Yu with a wry smile.

Everything that followed became quite simple. Jin Fuhua led his men back to "Peach Blossom Town", while Su Yu, along with Jiang Hai, several hundred Black-clothed Knights, and the people from Freedom Village, rushed back day and night.

When they returned to "Freedom Village", they found a considerable number of Black-clothed Knights entrenched inside, led by a few Sixth-order Powerhouses. No wonder they were able to subdue the hundreds of people in the village with no chance of resistance.

When Jiang Hai arrived, the Sixth-order Powerhouses showed their respects. On hearing the news of the death of the golden-haired elder, the Black Iron City Lord, they were greatly shocked and somewhat doubting. However, as Jiang Hai was the Deputy City Lord, they dared not disobey his orders. Soon, the Black-clothed Knights blocking Freedom Village retreated and gathered outside the village, numbering more than five hundred people.

Su Yu, after seeing that everyone in Freedom Village was safe, was finally able to relax. It seemed that the Black Iron City side was also uncertain about how to negotiate with him and had not dared to harm the people of Freedom Village at that time.

Reflecting on events, Su Yu felt a lingering fear. On one hand, he felt reckless for killing Lika Xiya. On the other hand, he realized that he had underestimated the strength of Black Iron City. One mistake could result in lifelong regret.

After handling everything in Freedom Village, Su Yu watched the still-standing five hundred Black-clothed Knights of Black Iron City from afar. At this moment, Jiang Hai, who stayed in Freedom Village, asked, "Su Yu, what are your plans now?" Inside, he was more eager to find out Su Yu’s plans for dealing with him.

Su Yu turned to look at Jiang Hai, smiling slightly, "Have you never thought about becoming the City Lord of Black Iron City?"

Jiang Hai shook his head. "I am just a mid-level Seventh Order. How could I be capable of ruling a city? Even if I wanted to, the Inspector General would not agree."

Su Yu was taken aback and replied, "Inspector General? Their approval is necessary for someone to become a City Lord?"

Jiang Hai gave Su Yu a profound look before responding, "Su Yu, as I’ve said before, Black Iron City is not made up of a temporary gathering of disorganized people, it has a very long-established order. Each action must follow certain rules and regulations. And the Inspector General is someone sent by the Main City to oversee us. To become a City Lord, you must be approved by the Main City. My power is too weak; it’s hopeless for me to become a City Lord. But for you, there’s hope. At least you possess a Demon Divine Beast. This alone could be enough to win the approval of the Main City."

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, puzzled at the existence of a Main City behind Black Iron City. He slowly said, "So if I killed the Black Iron City Lord... would the Main City tolerate this?"

Jiang Hai laughed and reassured him, "Don’t worry, the Main City won’t interfere with this matter. Generally speaking, the Main City doesn’t interfere in our affairs much, except for the annual tribute and occasional appearances of the Inspector General. Even the recently deceased City Lord had killed the previous Black Iron City Lord and taken over once his power was recognized by the Inspector General. As long as you have the power to show that you are qualified to be a City Lord, that’s enough."

Su Yu began to understand, it seems the Main City acts somewhat like a regulatory manager. He slowly said, "So, all the cities in this world are managed by the ’Main City’? All City Lords must receive approval from the ’Main City’? Even those from the legendary Ten Great Giant Cities also need approval?"

Jiang Hai hesitated before responding with a bitter smile, "Su Yu, I don’t know that much. All I know is that our ’Black Iron City’, as well as the ’General City’ in the West are both under the control of the ’Main City’. I’m not very clear about the others."

Su Yu fell silent, looking at Ada beside him. Ada was smiling at him, nodding slightly and said, "Su Yu, remember your original intention and do what you wish to do. That’s you."
