Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3017 - 3037: Bluff, Keep Bluffing!

"What, dare not?"

Lu Sen’s smile deepened, both profound and smug, "Is it because he is of the Human Clan?"

Damn it!

Bai Manmei’s heart turned icy cold as she calculated how she could take action to ensure she could capture these people. Yet, the result of her calculations was extremely pessimistic.

Even though Bai Manmei was powerful, with a mysterious Time Divine Ability at her disposal, she couldn’t possibly kill these individuals.

How easy would it be to kill a Daluo Initial Immortal?

If she weren’t a Quasi-Saint, it would be exceedingly difficult to completely kill someone of the same realm.

At this point, there was no sense in Bai Manmei’s making excuses. She decided to adopt a contrary approach, "Yes, you’re not wrong, he indeed is of the Human Clan, but the reason I went with him to the Black Sky Immortal Domain was to handle an important matter for the Great Wilderness Palace. If it goes well, even the Demon Emperor would be pleased."

"I didn’t want to leak any information, so I took him alone to the Great Wilderness Palace. Today, you stumbled upon us. If this causes any leaks, leading to the plan’s failure, you will take full responsibility and personally explain it to the Demon Emperor."

Lu Sen’s smile suddenly stiffened, his gaze becoming unsure and skeptical.

Great Wilderness Palace?

Demon Emperor?

These words were quite intimidating!

He felt that Bai Manmei was most likely lying, but what if she was telling the truth?

"You don’t scare me," said Lu Sen coldly. "What is this important matter you speak of? If I am truly mistaken, I will apologize and guarantee that the news will not be leaked. However, if you can’t give a clear account, then you’ve added yet another crime to your list!"

Bai Manmei was merely making up a story off the top of her head, how could she come up with an explanation that would satisfy Lu Sen on the spot?

Lin Chen, who had been observing the situation, now basically confirmed that Bai Manmei had not betrayed him. This fellow named Lu Sen must have sensed something back in Feixue City, hence why he had followed their trail.

Seeing Bai Manmei struggling to find a convincing reason, Lin Chen spoke calmly, "The Great Wilderness Palace harbors a group of humans, likely the ones who came to the Demon World during the previous war between the two realms. By using my Human Clan identity to make contact with them and then gaining the trust of the senior management of the Great Wilderness Palace, we could finally investigate the current status of the Great Wilderness Saint."

"Now that the war between the two realms is raging intensely, with Saints destined to intervene, even though the Demon World holds the advantage at the moment, with various Demon Emperors taking action and the Immortal Emperors seemingly unable to withstand, what if other Saints from the Immortal Realm join the fray? Like that Mixed Element Saint, for instance?"

Lu Sen furrowed his brows, what Lin Chen was saying roughly made sense!

If the Saints were going to engage in the war, determined to achieve a clear outcome, then as a ruler of the Demon World, it’s only natural to figure out the status of the Great Wilderness Saint.

Though the Shadow Saint and Blood Saint hardly managed affairs or appeared in public, they certainly wouldn’t cooperate with the Human Clan to turn against the Demon Race. But the Great Wilderness Saint might not be as predictable.

The Great Wilderness Saint and the Demon Emperor were on extremely bad terms. Considering that the Great Wilderness Palace could accept strong warriors from the Human Clan and ally with them, could the Great Wilderness Saint team up with the Immortal Emperor?

At this sensitive moment, it is entirely plausible for the Demon Emperor to want to investigate the Great Wilderness Saint’s situation, but this shouldn’t be shared by a member of the Human Clan, right?

Though Bai Manmei was strong, ambitious, and had a future, she was just an Inspector of the Mercenary Association, not even considered part of the Demon God Temple. How could such a critical matter be entrusted to Bai Manmei?

As Lin Chen spoke, Bai Manmei’s thoughts raced.

Putting it that way, it seemed possible!

Bai Manmei, her tone cold, added, "This is confidential; naturally, not everyone is privy to it. I was given a secret order by a certain member of the Round Table Meeting, and I shouldn’t be sharing it with you. But since you’re insistent, I can only reveal this much. If you leak it, leading to severe consequences, then you will have to take responsibility."

With this new narrative, even the previously certain Lu Sen started to doubt.

Covert instructions from the senior management of the Round Table Meeting?

This wasn’t impossible either!

The Mercenary Association, with seven Quasi-Saints in the lead, also had members with a rapport with the Demon Emperor. By delegating the task to the Mercenary Association, the Demon Emperor could thus circumvent the Demon God Temple. Should any issue arise, there would be leeway for mitigation.

If he were to send someone from the Demon God Temple to snoop on the Great Wilderness Saint, wouldn’t that be tantamount to openly declaring his intent to strike at the Saint?

If that cornered the Great Wilderness Saint, and he indeed allied with the Immortal Emperor, hatching plots against the Demon World and dividing its territory, such an occurrence wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.

Lu Sen asked in a heavy voice, "Where did he come from?"

Without hesitation, Bai Manmei answered, "He’s a survivor from under the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation, captured by me. His strength is notable, and he knows some information about the spies who entered the Demon World back then. So I promised him that if he cooperated, I could take him to the Great Wilderness Palace. He escapes death, I complete my mission..."
