Chapter 1125 A deal with the bounty hunters

With Ren Xiaosu鈥檚 current strength and vigilance, it was impossible for normal people to steal anything from him without his knowledge.

So the moment someone bumped into him on the street, he took advantage of the situation and allowed the other party to steal his tracker.

The thief had taken possession of a small tracker from Ren Xiaosu, but he did not know what it was, so he could only take it back and hand it to whoever was pulling the strings.

This helped Ren Xiaosu successfully locate where Chen Cheng and the young sorceress, An鈥檃n, were hiding.

Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n were caught off guard by this. Their original plan was to steal Ren Xiaosu鈥檚 wallet or belongings to learn more about his background.

But instead of finding out anything about him, Ren Xiaosu found their secret residence.

Vaduz was an important city, and the blacksmith鈥檚 workshop these bounty hunters had set up in Vaduz was actually one of their more important 鈥渟afe houses.鈥?/p>

If any of their compatriots encountered danger, they could hide in the basement of the blacksmith鈥檚 forge until the danger had passed.

There was enough food stored in the cellar, as well as a fresh change of identity prepared for them.

This safe house was what gave them the confidence to escape being tracked by the magus order over the years.

But now the safe house had been located by Ren Xiaosu. The blacksmith in charge of concealing the safe house had also been knocked out by Ren Xiaosu in a single strike. The burly man, who stood nearly two meters tall, could not even stand up.

Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n felt a sense of defeat. Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to look so surprised. After all, you鈥檝e already learned from the sheeple that I鈥檓 not from the Kingdom of Sorcerers, right? I鈥檓 afraid that the Central Plains鈥?pace of development is probably much faster than y鈥檃ll expected.鈥?/p>

An鈥檃n was first to regain her composure. 鈥淲hy are you looking for us?鈥?/p>

鈥淲ait a sec, let me correct you there.鈥?Ren Xiaosu found a chair and sat down. 鈥淵鈥檃ll deliberately left the trade caravan knowing I was aware and deliberately led me away. I should be the one asking this question. Why鈥檙e you looking for me?鈥?/p>

Chen Cheng went over and helped the blacksmith up. Then he said to Ren Xiaosu, 鈥淲ho exactly are you? What鈥檚 your relationship with Ren He, the rider you mentioned?鈥?/p>

Ren Xiaosu gave it some thought. 鈥淚 only relayed the information to y鈥檃ll because I wanted to know what my relationship with him is. So have y鈥檃ll relayed my information to your other companions yet? Can you tell me about your organization and what y鈥檃ll know?鈥?/p>

Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n looked at each other. Then the young sorceress said, 鈥淲e don鈥檛 know who the person you鈥檙e talking about is, but we鈥檝e heard of the name.鈥?/p>

鈥淭hat鈥檚 good news.鈥?Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, 鈥淭ell me in more detail.鈥?/p>

鈥淏ut we don鈥檛 know the details yet. We only heard our father and his generation鈥檚 people mention it. If you want to know more, you鈥檒l have to come with us to Ghent City,鈥?An鈥檃n said.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment before smiling happily. 鈥淎re you trying to lure me to Ghent City to make use of me?鈥?/p>

An鈥檃n鈥檚 hands that were at rest by her sides suddenly balled up into fists. She always felt the young man in front of her could guess what she was thinking when she spoke with him.

This feeling was really uncomfortable. She was constantly put in a passive position.

鈥淭o be specific, we鈥檙e not trying to make use of you, but we need that person who鈥檚 protecting you. He鈥檚 really strong. We鈥檙e willing to use him as the foundation for our deal with you. Go to Ghent City and help us with a task, and we鈥檒l tell you what you want to know,鈥?An鈥檃n said calmly.

Ren Xiaosu thought back for a couple seconds before laughing. 鈥淎re you referring to the person who killed the fleeing bandits?鈥?/p>

So they were thinking about making use of Old Xu鈥檚 combat strength. However, what they did not know was that Old Xu was actually just one of his powers.

Ren Xiaosu did not want to explain either. He believed Old Xu, the pinnacle of close quarters combat, would greatly surprise all the physically weak sorcerers.

鈥淵es.鈥?An鈥檃n鈥檚 voice turned cold. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter if you鈥檙e unwilling to go to Ghent City, but I鈥檓 afraid you鈥檒l have to find out for yourself what you wish to know.鈥?/p>

Ren Xiaosu looked at An鈥檃n with great interest. 鈥淚 believe that y鈥檃ll don鈥檛 have any reinforcements here in Vaduz. Since I can locate your hideout and am brave enough to come here alone, where do you get the confidence to talk like this to me?鈥?/p>

An鈥檃n sneered, 鈥淲e have two sorcerers over here. If you think you鈥檙e so strong, why don鈥檛 you try us?鈥?/p>

As soon as her words trailed off, Ren Xiaosu rushed Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n. He grabbed their necks with his steely hands and forcefully lifted them before slamming them against the walls of the blacksmith鈥檚 workshop.

In that instant, the Eyes of True Sight Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n were furtively holding in their hands dropped to the ground.

Russell had written in the Introduction to Sorcery that when he faced the Central Plains rider, he did not even get a chance to recite any incantations.

If even a talented and experienced archmage like Russell was not able to fight back, there was even less of a chance that young sorcerers like Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n could.

Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n struggled with all their might, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from Ren Xiaosu鈥檚 control.

Just as the blacksmith and his apprentice were about to sneak an attack on Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu suddenly let go and took a step back, leaving Chen Cheng and An鈥檃n to fall to the ground.

Ren Xiaosu snatched the blacksmith鈥檚 broadsword from his hand and snapped the blade with both hands. 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 even hold your own weapon properly, so don鈥檛 talk to me about your tactics. Tell your elders that I鈥檒l go to Ghent City. And if your goal is to pit yourselves against the sorcerers, let鈥檚 just say we share a common interest. As for your intention to make use of me, it鈥檇 be better if you put that on the back burner.鈥?/p>

Ren Xiaosu turned around and left the blacksmith鈥檚 workshop, leaving the blacksmith, An鈥檃n, and the others looking at one another.

Before this, they had never come across an enemy as strong as this based purely on physical strength. As such, they were utterly defeated by Ren Xiaosu.

It was also at this moment they understood the young man was actually extremely powerful. 鈥淲hy would such a person be willing to be a fringe sorcerer鈥檚 steward? What鈥檚 his goal in coming to the Kingdom of Sorcerers?鈥?Chen Cheng said in a daze.

An鈥檃n looked unconvinced. She looked at the blacksmith and said, 鈥淯ncle Gris, please relay this news about him to Ghent City and tell Father and the others to be careful.鈥?/p>

鈥淢hm.鈥?Gris nodded solemnly. As someone who did physical work, he naturally understood how terrifying the power Ren Xiaosu had just displayed was. Everyone in the organization had to treat this variable that was about to arrive at Ghent City seriously

Ren Xiaosu, having left the blacksmith鈥檚 shop, heaved a sigh of relief. When he was just about to break the metal sword, he really was a little worried he couldn鈥檛 do it. Fortunately, the other party鈥檚 forging skills were not that good.

And thus, another problem came up. Ren Xiaosu had found the blacksmith鈥檚 workshop with the GPS tracker, but he did not put a tracker on Melgor. He had lost his way.
