Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: Liuli Golden Palace

Regarding Su Chengyu’s two speculations, Hua Qian didn’t dare to make wild guesses.

After all, regardless of which one of Su Chengyu’s speculations was considered, the implications for her and even for the entire Hua family would certainly not be minor, so she could only turn her head to look at the Golden Palace, the symbol of the highest power center of Liuli Island.

However, she never detected any Demon Qi, which felt somewhat odd to Hua Qian, yet she didn’t dare to question Su Chengyu’s judgment.

Su Chengyu couldn’t be bothered to explain anything, firstly because it wasn’t necessary, and secondly because he couldn’t confirm anything indeed.

The Demon Qi of that high pavilion was indeed very well hidden; even Su Chengyu, from such a close distance, hadn’t noticed where the Demon Qi was.

Although Su Chengyu hadn’t perceived it, the divine sense within the Sea of Consciousness of the Dragon Slayer Sword responded continuously, emitting a sword’s hum.

Beheading Dragon Breaking Heaven were both Extreme Artifacts, and their forging methods were very similar, yet their experiences were completely different.

Su Linyuan once wielded this sword, vanquishing demons and slaying dragons, turning it into a spirit sword that naturally had a superior suppressive effect on the Demon Clan.

In terms of perceiving the Demon Clan, not to mention Su Chengyu, even Ye Qingci wouldn’t dare claim to be on par with the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Keep in mind that Ye Qingci, who came from the Demon Slayer Department, also had a specialized method for detecting demons, making her far more sensitive to the Demon Clan than ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, from the reaction of the Dragon Slayer Sword, Su Chengyu knew that within the pavilion called the Liuli Golden Palace, there was a demon, and its strength was at least at the Monster Monarch Level.

"Has Liuli Country historically ever had a Demon Monarch?"

Su Chengyu asked Hua Qian.

Hua Qian shook her head, "When Liuli Country was founded, there were twelve Royal Witches and one Divine Samurai, but definitely no Demon Clan of Demon Monarch level. However, during that great war, a Demon Monarch from Dongying did come to Liuli Country..."

The Witch lineage, in terms of level, is equivalent to that of a cultivator, but does not have corresponding ranks for Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.

A formal witch is already equivalent to the Tongxuan Realm, a Grand Witch to the Golden Core, the Royal Witch corresponds to the Nascent Soul Realm, but the highest level of Servant of God Witch can only achieve the level of the Hollow Realm.

According to the inheritance of the Witch lineage, a witch cannot ascend to become an Immortal, and ultimately, they are just servants close to the gods.

Indeed, most cultivation systems derived from the main Xia Country cultivation system are like this, with only a very few having the possibility to step into the Land Immortal status.

And they often have to pay a huge price, or face incredible difficulty.

According to the traditional Dao Sect view, these practices are just clever tricks and crooked paths.

"Does Liuli Country still have a Servant of God Witch now?"

Su Chengyu continued to ask Hua Qian.

Hua Qian shook her head, "The current chief witch of Liuli Country is merely a Royal Witch at the peak, and she has not received divine favor to become a Servant of God."

Su Chengyu nodded, then already had plans in his mind.

After sitting quietly in the courtyard for half a day, building his strength, he asked Hua Qian to use one of her Innate Divine Abilities to conceal his aura.

Hua Qian didn’t ask what Su Chengyu was going to do, only cautioning, "Mr. Su, my Innate Divine Ability can only mask your aura for an hour. After an hour, I won’t be able to keep hiding your presence."

"Mhm."

Su Chengyu leapt out the window, his figure completely merging with the night, leaving no trace behind.

Having left the courtyard, Su Chengyu’s target was clear, the Liuli Golden Palace where the Royal Family resided.

Although it was confirmed that a Demon Monarch existed within the Golden Palace, Liuli Country was still ruled by humans, and Su Chengyu knew that unless absolutely necessary, this hidden Demon Monarch would definitely not make a move hastily.

Having confirmed that Liuli Country did not possess a Divine Samurai Witch equivalent to the Hollow Realm, Su Chengyu decided to utilize the innate divine ability of the Tail Dragon Carp to conceal his presence and ventured into the Liuli Golden Palace to investigate.

"You really aren’t afraid of death, are you? Knowing that a Demon Monarch is there, you still choose to take such a risk? Let me say it upfront, I don’t have any strength left right now, so I can’t help at all,"

the Heaven-Mending Stone, which had just regained some strength, said to Su Chengyu with annoyance, increasingly regretting why it ever got involved with Su Chengyu’s ’pirate ship’.

"Though it’s a bit risky, the value in trying is still there."

If it were just for the Emperor’s Six Treasures, Su Chengyu certainly wouldn’t be so bold, but a God-ranked Elixir might be Yu Yanshu’s only hope for recovery, naturally worth the risk.

Moreover, Su Chengyu’s actions were not simply borne of arrogance. Before coming here, he had extracted the two True Dragon reverse scales from the Heavenly White Dragon Seal and the Heavenly Black Dragon Seal and merged them into the True Dragon Armor.

Now, the defensive capability of the True Dragon Armor had also been significantly upgraded. Even without the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu was confident he could withstand one or even two attacks from someone in the Hollow Realm.

Of course, it couldn’t be their full-strength attacks, otherwise even if the True Dragon Armor wasn’t destroyed, Su Chengyu, as the wearer, would not be able to withstand the massive invasion of mana and would lose consciousness or even perish before anything else.

The Heaven-Mending Stone, knowing that it couldn’t persuade Su Chengyu, didn’t bother saying anything else. It had come to understand that Su Chengyu often acted without regard for the cost when it came to people close to him.

The Liuli Golden Palace had a total of ten floors above ground and three below. According to the judgment of the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Demon Monarch had taken residence on the upper floors, so this time, Su Chengyu’s intention was to explore the underground.

Easily avoiding the outermost guards, Su Chengyu cautiously made his way downstairs.

The first underground level was manageable, with only a few witches equivalent to the Tongxuan Realm patrolling. Naturally, they were incapable of stopping Su Chengyu, who smoothly proceeded to the next level.

The second underground level was much more spacious than the first, with a long passage lined with numerous vermilion door frames, leading to an ancient shrine at the end.

The witches guarding this area were clearly stronger than those on the first level. Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense quietly spread out, and he immediately detected several Grand Witches residing here.

Su Chengyu approached cautiously, utilizing the innate divine ability of the Tail Dragon Carp to arrive near the shrine with some scares but no real danger.

And around the perimeter of the shrine, Su Chengyu immediately sensed the protection of a formation.

The formation itself was not particularly ingenious, but it was very meticulous. Su Chengyu would inevitably trigger the formation and expose his infiltration if he wanted to break through the formation to enter the shrine.

Just as Su Chengyu was feeling troubled, a sudden noise from behind made him instantly alert and jump onto the overhead beam.

To Su Chengyu’s surprise, the person who followed him to the front of the shrine was not one of the witches stationed there.

It was a woman, wrapped in black clothing, who had stealthily made her way here without a sound.

Although her face was unseen, the tight black clothing perfectly outlined her shape.

The woman might have been petite, but her figure was surprisingly curvy, appearing irresistibly alluring against the backdrop of the night.

However, Su Chengyu was not in the mood to appreciate the scene, simply murmuring in slight astonishment.

"A fellow traveler?"
