Situ Ba sounded as if he was asking after Ji Fengyan, but his expression revealed otherwise.

Ji Fengyan’s eyes were chilly. She tightened the grip on her sword and fixed a murderous glare on Situ Ba.

“That expression is so scary.” Situ Ba chuckled as if he couldn’t feel Ji Fengyan’s blood-thirsty energy. He glanced at Ji Fengyan in disdain and spoke in a repulsed tone.

“If I remember correctly, you were on pretty good terms with Yang Shun? It’s not surprising. One is a young and immature Terminator, while the other is a pitiful old man past his prime. No wonder you two got along well. Yang Shun must have taught you much over that period? Were you not glad? A useless General making a little brat like you his pet. What a big joke.”

With that, Situ Ba once again looked at the heavy sword in Ji Fengyan’s hands.

“Ji Fengyan, do you think you could stay safe by clinging onto Yang Shun’s coattails? The both of you colluded and hid the maps for the demon tunnels. And to what end?”

Situ Ba suddenly laughed out loud.

“Even if you don’t give them to me, so what? I have always gotten everything I wanted!”

Situ Ba raised his hand and signaled behind him.

A short and small-sized soldier walked out trembling in fear.

It stunned Ji Fengyan when she saw him!

That soldier was wearing the armour of the Blaze Army.

“Yang Shun would never dream that his very own soldier, whom he treated like a brother, would be the one to betray him.” Situ Ba laughed maniacally.

They could not ascertain the legitimacy of the map that Ji Fengyan had given them. Meanwhile, the Blaze Army were also keeping a close watch on their own maps, not giving the Green Nightmare Army even a glimpse of them.

However…

“Yang Shun had always been so naïve. He really thought his own soldiers would follow him unswervingly. Too bad, he was still under the illusion that the current Blaze Army is still as good as it was in the past. The glorious name of the Blaze Army had long eroded. Do you know, I only had to promise a vanguard position in the Green Nightmare Army to this fellow—he was so flattered that he delivered that map right into my hands.” Situ Ba narrowed his eyes as he watched Ji Fengyan’s face darken. He had never felt so delighted in his life.

“You exploded the tunnel which General Yang was in on purpose.” Ji Fengyan stared frostily at Situ Ba. It was not a question but a statement of fact.

Situ Ba had no intention of denying and casually nodded.

“You are right. I did that on purpose.”

Ji Fengyan’s breathing slowed. She narrowed her eyes and the murderous aura in her eyes intensified.

Faced with Ji Fengyan’s savage countenance, Situ Ba was not the least bit nervous. In fact, he said casually, “Yang Shun was old. Having reached the age of 34 as a Terminator, it was time for him to reach the end of his life. The Blaze Army had long deteriorated and was not worthy of everything the Emperor had given upon them. I am only helping the Kingdom to stop wasting resources.”

No shame, no guilt. Situ Ba’s high-sounding pronouncements made it seem as if he was being logical about it all.
