Chapter 1358: Chapter 1358: Sinner

The panicked Lord of Herman watched as the armies around him crumbled into disarray under You Ming and Mo Ningchen’s assault, and, grasping that the situation of others was even worse than his own, he immediately harbored thoughts of retreat.

He had already realized that he was no match for this young man from Xia Country, but he did not believe that Su Chengyu’s strength was enough to completely stop him from escaping.

After all, this fellow before him was a whole realm lower than himself; however, just as Lord of Herman considered retreating, You Ming suddenly appeared behind him, watching him coldly.

Although she did not make a move, she had effectively cut off his retreat.

Lord of Herman froze on the spot, trembling as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"It was you who wanted us dead first."

Su Chengyu spoke calmly, giving You Ming a grateful glance.

Su Chengyu had also noticed Lord of Herman’s intent to retreat, but the reality was that he, like Mo Ningchen, did not possess the ability to stop a being of Martial God’s level from forcefully escaping.

Mo Ningchen could not stop Lays from escaping his grasp, and had You Ming not appeared just now, Lord of Herman would have definitely fled swiftly down that path.

The chance to pursue was there, but once he reached Linbei City, it was highly likely that Su Chengyu would still be unable to do anything to him.

"I am merely following orders! I bear no enmity towards any of you!" Lord of Herman said urgently, sensing that the tide was turning against him and seeking only a way to save his own life.

Su Chengyu asked indifferently, "Whose orders?"

The question made Lord of Herman freeze. He did not know much, but the little he did know, he dared not reveal to Su Chengyu and others.

Seeing that Lord of Herman had secrets to hide, Su Chengyu said softly, "You managed to track us down here; you must have guessed where we’ve been hiding these days, right?"

Lord of Herman looked up at Su Chengyu and asked quietly, "What are you trying to say?"

"Although Senior Chaitov, the War God, did not intervene, do you think he has not noticed everything that happened here?"

A chill shot through Lord of Herman’s heart, and he said in disbelief, "But War God Chaitov has not taken your side..."

"Do you deserve it?"

Su Chengyu interrupted unceremoniously, and Lord of Herman, though resentful, was completely powerless to refute.

Indeed, did he deserve it?

Judging from the actual combat power exhibited by these three from Xia Country, each of them had the strength to match, or even surpass, his own.

The notion of capturing the three with the troops he brought was nothing but a fanciful delusion.

Watching Lord of Herman waver, Su Chengyu continued, "Let me remind you, although I’m not certain who sent you, those people clearly understand our strengths better than you do, yet they still ordered you to move against us. What do you think that means?"

Lord of Herman, somewhat confused, asked, "Why?"

Su Chengyu glanced at You Ming, who turned away, having a clear understanding in her heart but too indolent to play along with Su Chengyu in this charade to help him explain.

Su Chengyu had no choice but to speak for himself, "They want you dead at our hands."

Lord of Herman’s eyes widened as he looked at Su Chengyu.

"Although you have no chance of capturing us, and we definitely won’t be taken by you easily, in the end, you are still the Lord of Linbei City, an official of Bei Luo Empire. You’re a... Brigadier General, right?"

Su Chengyu said, observing the insignia on Lord of Herman’s shoulder.

Lord of Herman nodded, and Su Chengyu then continued, "No matter the reason, what they want is to deflect the problem elsewhere, to irreparably embroil us with the Bei Luo Empire. In the end, it’s just a plain use of you or, to be precise, of the Bei Luo Empire."

Once Lord of Herman City died, the warrant for their arrest issued unilaterally would quickly become a nationwide manhunt by the Bei Luo Empire.

By then, no matter how adeptly Su Chengyu and his companions concealed their identities, with the official endorsement from the Bei Luo officials, there would be no possibility of remaining hidden.

Furthermore, once they became completely hostile towards the Bei Luo Empire, even if the Bei Luo Empire wouldn’t tear its face off with Xia Country, it would become increasingly difficult for them to operate in Bei Luo, revealing the underlying malicious intentions.

Hearing this, Lord of Herman City, finally catching on, said with disbelief, "How dare they!"

"Why wouldn’t they dare?"

Su Chengyu retorted, his gaze landing on Lord of Herman City: "As the Lord of Linbei City, you surely haven’t been completely oblivious to the changes in Linbei City over these years, have you? We’ve only been in Linbei City for a few days. Haven’t you noticed any of the undercurrents brewing beneath its surface?"

Lord of Herman City fell silent. It’s not like he didn’t notice anything at all. However, the things Su Chengyu mentioned, he indeed hadn’t detected anything amiss.

"Considering this is Linbei City, it’s common for some odd folks to come and go, and moreover..."

"And you have Chaitoff, the War God, right?"

Lord of Herman City’s face flushed, and he didn’t dare to continue the conversation.

The Bei Luo Empire’s terrain is vast, and its area is even more expansive than that of Xia Country, but the number of top-notch powerhouses is not as high as Xia’s.

Cities like Linbei City, where a War God is present all year round, are not plentiful; hence the confidence from Lord of Herman City stems from this fact.

"Enough nonsense, he hasn’t said anything, just kill him. Why bother with all the complication?"

On the other side, Mo Ningchen, who had also dealt with a problem, cooperated with Su Chengyu and took it upon himself to play the "good cop."

Hearing this, Lord of Herman City could no longer hold back and blurted out, "I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything!"

Su Chengyu’s menacing aura dissipated, and You Ming also stepped back a few paces, giving Lord of Herman City more room to move. With the three of them surrounding him, there was absolutely no chance for him to escape.

Knowing what the three intended, Lord of Herman City waved for everyone else to return to the city first, leaving himself alone before he spoke.

"The person who wants you dead is a ’sinner’."

"Sinner?"

"Not an identity, but a codename. An information broker from Linbei City, affiliated with a strange organization. This organization’s influence is widespread, casting shadows throughout the entire Bei Luo Empire, and this person is one of the high-ranking enforcers within the organization."

"The Bam Alliance."

You Ming interjected coldly from aside.

"You know of this alliance?"

Lord of Herman City asked with some surprise. Even he had only truly learned of this alliance’s name in the past two years. That the sinner was present in Linbei City was something he had only come to know a few days ago.

"Of course, we know, and we also know that this organization does not only include members from the Demonic Path, but also the Nether Clan."

Lord of Herman City looked up incredulously at Su Chengyu’s words, but witnessing Su Chengyu’s indifferent expression, he understood that the Xia Citizen had no need to lie, and immediately lowered his head to say.

"I’m sorry... I truly wasn’t aware of this. I’m just..."

"Continue, have you met this ’sinner’?"

Lord of Herman City nodded: "He approached me himself, an elderly man who appeared to be an ordinary old fellow. Afterwards, I investigated him, and it seems that he’s working as an Executor at a guesthouse called ’Lantern Inn’."

This sudden revelation made Su Chengyu instantly look up at You Ming, and after a moment of surprise, You Ming nodded.

"That’s the guesthouse we are staying at."
