Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Demon Clan Woman

The two of them traveled on their swords, and the journey was relatively uneventful.

However, as they constantly neared the national border, Su Chengyu distinctly felt the probing gazes of the Demon Clan lurking in the dark.

In Xia Country, due to the presence of the Demon Slayer Department, the Demon Clan naturally wouldn’t act blatantly, since once their traces were discovered, the consequences would be death and the destruction of their path.

But even with the great power of the Demon Slayer Department, their human resources were limited. Also, not far from here, it no longer belonged to the lands of Xia Country, which is why these Demons had gathered here.

However, these Demons were mostly cautious and did not attack rashly. A few short-sighted Demons that attempted to ambush Su Chengyu and his companion

were instantly slain by Su Chengyu’s thunderous methods. These creatures, with strength at most on par with a Demon General, now behaved themselves, daring not to approach casually.

"Master, are the Demons outside Xia Country always so rampant?"

Yu Yanshu, noticing for the first time that there were so many Demons in the world, couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate the Demon Slayer Department. Although they might not have a prominent reputation in the eyes of ordinary people, the fact that Xia Country has been peaceful for over a century is largely due to their contributions," Chengyu explained.

Yu Yanshu fell silent upon hearing this, apparently thinking again about Su Chengyu’s decision to go to the Capital City.

Su Chengyu smiled and patted her head, "Don’t worry, Master. The Demon Slayer Department is only responsible for slaying demons and expelling devils; they won’t get involved in those matters concerning you."

That would be the case, provided his identity wasn’t exposed.

Of course, Su Chengyu didn’t disclose this latter thought to Yu Yanshu,

Not wanting Yu Yanshu to overthink, Su Chengyu deliberately changed the subject, "Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the sea area connects to Liuli and Dongying countries where the status of the Demon Clan is completely opposite to ours."

In Dongying, not to mention Demons, even ghosts could be recognized by the nation and even enshrined in temples for people to worship.

Although Liuli Country was much better in this respect, it still had many ties to the Demon Clan in the shadows.

"We’ve crossed the border."

As he spoke, Su Chengyu stopped controlling the sword, and suddenly halted in midair, leaving Yu Yanshu somewhat puzzled.

The next moment, a surge of Demon Qi rose from the bottom of the sea. A fish-dragon with scales and a gaping maw lunged at the two, intending to swallow them whole.

Su Chengyu frowned as a bolt of heavenly thunder struck down directly.

Under the Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique, this Demon General, who was but a step away from becoming a Demon King, was instantly blasted to nothingness, leaving behind only an inner core.

Su Chengyu casually tossed the inner core to the Heaven-Mending Stone, and soon after, he heard the voice of the Heaven-Mending Stone, full of disdain.

"Demons are a dime a dozen here, and though they’re weak, can’t you slay more for me to consume?"

The Heaven-Mending Stone, by now, was clearly not content with just a little replenishment.

However, Su Chengyu ignored it; he wasn’t foolish.

A single strike to kill the enemy and intimidate the surrounding Demons was necessary, but if he truly went on a killing spree, it would surely provoke a hunt from the Demons across the entire sea area.

Not to mention, who knew whether there were Demon Emperors lurking in the deep seas beyond the border; even if there weren’t, revealing his whereabouts in this place was certainly not a good thing for Su Chengyu.

Ignoring the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu’s gaze turned toward the distant Liuli Country, barely visible. He repressed his aura and led Yu Yanshu toward the destination he had already determined.

Liuli Country was an island nation with a landscape chiefly composed of archipelagos.

With Liuli Island at the center acting as the seat of power, the nation’s control spread outwards. The farther away from the central island, the weaker Liuli Country’s hold became.

And the first stop Su Chengyu had set in Liuli Country was a remote small island, Laisong Island, half a hundred nautical miles from Liuli Island.

Laisong Island was not large, with a population density that could be considered moderate. The people there mainly subsisted on the fishing industry, and the food tended to be light.

Su Chengyu didn’t mind this, but after eating, Yu Yanshu was clearly not satisfied. Seeing that Su Chengyu remained silent, she couldn’t help but speak up.

"This cuisine of Liuli Country... it’s peculiar, isn’t it?"

Seeing such a tactful Yu Yanshu, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Traditional food from Liuli Country basically all comes from Dongying, and to be honest... what good things can there really be from there?"

"Forget it, let’s not eat. Home is best."

Looking at Yu Yanshu, who was showing a rare childish petulance, Su Chengyu didn’t say anything. Taking her here wasn’t for the food but rather to gather some information quietly.

While Su Chengyu was still considering who to inquire from, Yu Yanshu’s gaze suddenly landed on a spot and she frowned slightly.

"Master, that sister over there looks a bit strange."

Su Chengyu instinctively looked in the direction of Yu Yanshu’s gaze and indeed saw an elegant and dignified woman in a kimono, with fair skin.

In terms of beauty, the kimono-clad woman was slightly inferior to Lin Chuxue, but her exquisite princess-cut paired with the cherry blossom kimono gave off a Yamato Nadeshiko vibe.

Seemingly aware of Su Chengyu’s attention, the woman’s gaze coincidentally met his.

Su Chengyu nodded slightly as an apology and then quickly averted his gaze.

"Master?"

Facing Yu Yanshu’s puzzlement, Su Chengyu confirmed in response.

"Your feeling is not wrong; she is from the Demon Clan."

"Ah?"

Yu Yanshu couldn’t believe it and her eyes widened in shock.

Although she had faintly felt that there was something off about the woman, she had never imagined that a member of the Demon Clan would dare to live in the human world in the form of a human.

If this were in Xia Country, such a provocation of the Demon Slayer Department’s authority would be enough to prompt them to act and thoroughly exterminate her!

Wanting to take another look instinctively but also worried about being noticed, Yu Yanshu hesitated to continue her observation.

Reading her thoughts, Su Chengyu gently said, "Don’t worry, her strength isn’t too formidable, just a minor demon at the Foundation Establishment stage, skilled mainly in concealment. Although I can discern that she is of the Demon Clan, I cannot ascertain her true form."

Yu Yanshu blinked and asked, "Master, would you like me to use the Primordial Eye to have a look?"

Su Chengyu shook his head.

He believed if Yu Yanshu were to activate the Primordial Eye, no matter what secret technique the other party used, they would have nowhere to hide.

However, there was an unidentified anomaly with the Primordial Eye, and before understanding it clearly, Su Chengyu did not wish to rashly let Yu Yanshu use her Primordial Eye’s abilities.

As for the woman who was blending in with humans under the guise of a demon, Su Chengyu had no intention of getting involved with her.

Yet, just as Su Chengyu was thinking this, an unexpected incident occurred involving the kimono-clad woman.

A few men entered the restaurant and made a beeline towards the woman in the kimono. Yu Yanshu, who noticed this, looked on curiously.

She hadn’t been sure about the kimono woman’s uniqueness before, but she could easily discern the nature of the three men in front of her.

All four were Martial Artists, with the strongest among them being a Martial King and the rest having the strength of a Marquis.

The sudden appearance of the four men clearly surprised the woman in the kimono; she quickly stood up and seemed to be pleading with them.

However, the leader, in response to the woman’s pleading, raised his hand and delivered a slap directly to the woman’s face, causing her blood to flow instantaneously!

Seeing this, Yu Yanshu frowned deeply, almost reacting on impulse.

Noticing her urge, Su Chengyu casually remarked, "You want to help her?"

After a moment of hesitation, Yu Yanshu still spoke up, "Yes, Master, this scene reminds me of some unpleasant past experiences."

"Fine, then go ahead. If anything goes wrong, your master will support you."
