Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: Tearing Off the Mask

To confirm whether Su Chengyu and his group are from the Bei Tang Family, the simplest way is to directly contact the Bei Tang Family of Xia Country.

As the largest merchant city between Bei Luo Empire and Xia Country, there are naturally exchanges between Linbei City and the Bei Tang Family, even the Duke of Night Raven herself has made several deals with the Bei Tang Family.

But the Duke of Night Raven will not take the initiative to inquire with the Bei Tang Family, since she and Su Chengyu are currently in complete opposition. Once she contacts the Bei Tang Family and receives a positive response, her conflict with Su Chengyu would escalate from a personal level to a height involving the entire Bei Tang Family.

Before asking, the Duke of Night Raven could explain herself as being unaware, but if the Bei Tang Family side has already received the news, and she is still unwilling to let go of Su Chengyu, that would be a provocation to the entire Bei Tang Family.

In Linbei City, the Duke of Night Raven dares to claim that she has the support of a Land Immortal backing her.

But she is well aware that it’s just a saying, whereas the Bei Tang Family actually does have the presence of a Land Immortal.

You Ming looked up at the Duke of Night Raven and spoke, "Miss Night Raven, since you don’t even dare to confirm whether the young master is from the Bei Tang Family, why continue with such a pretense? You don’t really have the support of a Land Immortal behind you, do you?"

Slap!

The Duke of Night Raven landed a slap directly on You Ming’s face, her eyes fiercely cold as she said, "What right do you have to talk to me like this? Let me tell you, regardless of whether you’re from the Bei Tang Family or not, in my Linbei City, even if the Emperor of Xia Country were to come, he’d have to bow down and speak to me!"

You Ming coldly sneered, looking at the Duke of Night Raven as if she were looking at an idiot. Just by hearing such words, she could understand what kind of person she was dealing with.

It seems she is meticulous but is actually just a frog at the bottom of the well in Linbei City.

Her gaze shifted subtly towards the Executor of the Fourth Grade Martial Emperor, commenting, "Following such a master must be hard on you."

The Executor blinked without saying a word, unfazed by You Ming’s remark.

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Night Raven’s anger intensified, and just as she was about to slap You Ming again, someone spoke up, "Madam, the guest has arrived."

The Duke of Night Raven stopped her hand, straightened her evening dress, then took a deep breath before returning to her chair, "Let them in."

Following her words, Su Chengyu and Mo Ningchen entered the estate led by a maid, to see You Ming bound inside the room.

"Illusory Poison?"

Mo Ningchen spoke with a slight change in expression.

Su Chengyu caught this detail and looked puzzled at Mo Ningchen, then quickly got the answer he wanted from the other’s gaze.

For an ordinary cultivator, Illusory Poison might be lethal; not to mention mobilizing Mana, even without doing anything, Mana would be continuously corroded by Illusory Poison, ultimately leaving one crippled.

That’s why Illusory Poison is known as a toxin potent enough to kill an Earth Immortal, but it seems quite different for You Ming.

Su Chengyu, who had been affected by Illusory Poison once, could develop some resistance; it was impossible that You Ming, who could perceive this, would not have some of this as well.

Aware of this, Su Chengyu walked into the room quietly, his gaze landing on the Duke of Night Raven, and spoke softly, "Duke, we meet again."

The Duke of Night Raven sneered, "Yes, we meet again. Because of you, I had to hastily end the exclusive event I meticulously planned. Do you know how much effort I put into this event?"

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. What the Duke of Night Raven lost this time was not just face, but also prestige and the rules she had set!

But to make everything go smoothly, she had no choice but to get rid of Su Chengyu from the castle first.

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "I thought that the Duke, who likes to set a price on others’ lives, would be accustomed to being priced by others by now."

"Who exactly are you?"

The Duke of Night Raven, tired of arguing over this issue, cut to the chase and directly asked.

Su Chengyu unexpectedly said, "Didn’t my maid tell you?"

"Hmph? The Bei Tang Family? You think I would believe that?"

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Believing or not is up to you, Your Grace. Besides, does it really matter who we are? Is Your Grace worried that we will seek retaliation after returning to Xia Country?"

"A joke!" laughed the Duke of Night Raven coldly. "Even if you are from the Bei Tang Family, or some ancient clan or royal family from Xia Country, you think you can seek revenge on me undetected? This is Linbei City, part of the Bei Luo Empire, not your Xia Country!"

The Duke of Night Raven was agitated, and at this moment, he indeed bore some resemblance to a witch from Su Chengyu’s memories.

He also had to admit that foreign women were indeed more adept at expressing their emotions through expressions, and this ugly display had broadened Su Chengyu’s horizons.

"So what? Does Your Grace want to experience it?"

The Duke of Night Raven frowned and, after a moment of silence, said gravely, "I can let you take the person away, but there’s no precedent of getting something for nothing under my watch!"

"What if I say no?"

Su Chengyu retorted.

The Duke of Night Raven’s anger surged again, and he said excitedly, "I don’t care if you really originate from the Bei Tang Family or not! Paying a price for a slave is within your means, isn’t it?"

Su Chengyu sneered, "Is Your Grace really so miserly?"

"This is my bottom line!"

The Duke of Night Raven knew from experience as a merchant that one should never let others break the rules; otherwise, how could she continue to hold her ground in Linbei City?

Mo Ningchen turned his head to look at Su Chengyu, as he had already grasped the implication. The other party’s stance was clear; they were willing to reconcile with Su Chengyu, but they needed to step down gracefully.

At this moment, Su Chengyu only needed to propose a reasonable price, and the Duke of Night Raven would undoubtedly take the opportunity to back down.

However...

"I have said it before, freedom is priceless."

Su Chengyu spoke forthrightly, and no matter the reason, he would never purchase Fang Qing’s freedom.

This was Su Chengyu’s bottom line.

"You’re seeking death! Black, kill these people for me!"

Now thoroughly infuriated, the Duke of Night Raven dropped all pretense. Upon giving the command, the Executor behind him swiftly moved to attack, appearing behind Su Chengyu in a flash, his palm-turned-sword aiming straight for Su Chengyu’s heart.

Mo Ningchen, who had been carefully observing the situation, instantly appeared, blocking the attack beside Su Chengyu with full force.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu moved as well, his target not the heavily defended Duke of Night Raven who had activated layers of defense, but headed straight towards where You Ming was.

Seeing this, the Duke of Night Raven sneered, "Trying to rescue someone? Such a fool’s dream!"

The moment Su Chengyu approached You Ming, numerous magical circuits appeared on the ground, and a massive Array was fully activated as Su Chengyu got close.

It was apparent that the Duke of Night Raven had been prepared from the start for Su Chengyu to attempt a forcible rescue.

However...

"Your Grace, I do intend to rescue her, but who told you I was planning to step into it myself?"

Su Chengyu’s cold voice echoed, and as he approached You Ming at a certain distance, he suddenly stopped, while a Nether Stone in his hand hurled towards You Ming’s body at high speed!
