Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Slaying the Demon

"You? You think you’re worthy?"

The Empress of Liuli sneered, no longer hiding her condition; scales faintly visible on half of her face.

These non-human features were proof of demon transformation, a body of a human but with a snake’s tail, scales covering the face.

The extent of the demon transformation of this Empress of Liuli was far deeper than Su Chengyu had imagined.

Watching this scene, Su Chengyu silently sighed, "I initially thought that you were merely controlled by the Demon Clan. I did not anticipate the invasion of the Demon Clan to be so profound."

The emergence of the Demon Man was not possibly forged by the Demon Clan unilaterally. It could only happen with humans willingly seeking the power of the Demon Clan, undergoing the transformation from human to Demon Man.

Considering the entire Liuli Royal Family had degenerated into Demon People, the royal lineage of Liuli was beyond redemption.

"Willingly degenerating, opting for self-destruction. What a waste of the efforts Xia Country put forth a hundred years ago to maintain the independence of Liuli Country!"

Through the Emperor’s Six Treasures, Su Chengyu had learned some history of Liuli Country.

He understood that to preserve its independence against Dongying’s counter attacks, Xia Country had significantly exerted itself. However, the martyrs of those times could never have imagined the fall of the Liuli Royal Family to such a state.

"What right do you have to criticize our choice?"

Empress of Liuli angrily said.

"As a citizen of Xia Country, why shouldn’t I have the right to speak?"

"Xia Country? All it amounts to is a bunch of opportunists looking out for their own interests! What ’saving Liuli from perilous circumstances’? Nice words! Weren’t you just hoping we would act as a buffer between Xia Country and Dongying? Now that Xia Country has grown stronger over the years, haven’t you thought about annexing Liuli?"

"Did we annex you?" Su Chengyu said coldly, looking at the Empress of Liuli.

"That’s because you don’t dare!"

The words of the Empress of Liuli completely refreshed Su Chengyu’s perception of naivety; he glanced at Chiyomiko, then burst into restrained laughter and said, "Empress of Liuli, can it be that, in your life, you have never stepped out of this Golden Palace of Liuli?"

Chiyomiko’s face appeared somewhat embarrassed, but she nodded nonetheless.

On hearing this, the Empress of Liuli furrowed her brows and said, "I know Xia Country is powerful, but if you move against our Liuli Country, will you only be facing us? Dongying Country will also send a large number of experts to support us. Can Xia Country withstand that?"

"You’re right; indeed, there are a few Earth Immortals in Dongying. But... what does it make you, Liuli Country? Do you really believe that Dongying would send their precious Earth Immortals to help a Demon Man protect Liuli Country? Do you think you deserve it?"

"You..."

"Why don’t you call those envoys from Dongying over and see if they’ll help you? Oh right, didn’t you have some conflicts yesterday? They might even help me."

The Empress of Liuli frowned, clearly surprised that Su Chengyu was aware of even this.

The conflict with the Sword Saint from Dongying from yesterday was known to few; the Empress of Liuli immediately looked towards Chiyomiko.

Chiyomiko quickly shook her head in denial, "Your Majesty, I said nothing!"

"Even suspecting your own people, and you dare claim trust in Dongying? Even if I believed you, do you believe it yourself?"

"Shut up!"

In a fit of rage, the Empress of Liuli’s green pupils flickered with a demonic light, her fierce gaze fixed on Su Chengyu, "Sharp-tongued boy from Xia, I really want to see whether it’s your mouth or your body that is tougher! Chiyomiko!"

After the Empress spoke, Su Chengyu turned his eyes towards the struggling Chiyomiko.

"Royal Witch, do you have an answer for my earlier question?"

The Empress of Liuli furrowed her brows at this scene and shouted harshly, "Chiyomiko! Do you dare betray the Liuli Country?"

"Your servant dare not!"

Chiyomiko immediately knelt down. Since the inception of the True Dragon Shrine, its entire purpose had been to support the Liuli royal family as the legitimate rulers, establishing Liuli as an autonomous nation independent of Dongying, amidst the vast sea.

But... but were the actions now truly correct?

"Then why do you hesitate! This fellow is certainly from the Demon Slayer Department, and now that he has learned of my identity as a Demon Man, he absolutely cannot be allowed to return alive to Xia Country!"

The Empress of Liuli spoke agitatedly.

Although she had been defiant earlier, she was well aware that once her identity as a Demon Man was known to the citizens of Xia, the Demon Hunting Office of Xia Nation would definitely not let her off.

The Demon Slayers of Xia were merciless towards demons, and even more so towards those who sided with the Demon Clan.

As an overseas island nation that Xia had always supported, the Demon Slayer Department would absolutely not tolerate a government ruled by Demon Men in Liuli.

But Chiyomiko was well aware that if Su Chengyu were to die within the borders of Liuli Country, it would signify enormous trouble for the entire nation, as the other party might possibly be one of the Twelve Holy Emissaries.

Recognizing the concerns in Chiyomiko’s heart, Su Chengyu took the initiative to speak, "So that’s why your emperor had a conflict with the Dongying delegation yesterday, was it to pin the blame of my death on Dongying?"

The Empress of Liuli sneered, "You seem to understand well, but what good will that knowledge do you? A mere Golden Core Realm dares to venture deep into my Liuli Golden Palace, today you will not escape even if you had wings!"

"That remains to be seen."

Su Chengyu said with a smile, looking at Chiyomiko, "Miss Chiyomiko, I can assure you, as long as you are willing to help me. The Demon Slayer Department will surely do all they can to assist you, helping Liuli Country restore order."

Chiyomiko was startled, then stood frozen in place, "But..."

Without giving Chiyomiko a chance to continue, Su Chengyu spoke sternly, "Chiyomiko, whom does your True Dragon Shrine truly pledge loyalty to—the Demon Man or the millions of citizens of Liuli Country? Has the True Dragon Shrine, passed down through three generations, forgotten even this most basic principle under your watch?"

The royalty of Liuli Country was initially capable individuals uplifted by the True Dragon Shrine, and Su Chengyu believed that, had it not been for the covert aid of Xia, they would not have possibly escaped the control of Dongying.

But the current royal family of Liuli, what remained were merely this deranged Demon Man!

Chiyomiko bowed her head, trapped in a dilemma.

Seeing this, the Empress of Liuli’s brows tightened, and, making a swift decision, she slammed her palm on the dragon throne and flew directly towards Su Chengyu.

"After I deal with this Xia brat, I’ll handle you!"

The judgment of the Empress of Liuli was very decisive, realizing Chiyomiko’s hesitation, she no longer placed hope directly on Chiyomiko.

In her view, as long as Su Chengyu could be killed, Chiyomiko would have no room to waver thereafter unless she wanted the complete destruction of Liuli Country. Otherwise, she could only choose to comply with her decision.

If worse came to worst, she still had that person behind her to suppress Chiyomiko!

"A mere Golden Core Realm dares to be so arrogant. Are all Xia citizens as presumptuous as you?"

The aura of the Empress of Liuli surged violently, revealing her true strength which was now that of a Second-Class Monster Emperor, no longer concealing it.

However, watching the Empress of Liuli charging towards him, Su Chengyu calmly spoke, "Without the protection of this esteemed Royal Witch, did you really think you count for anything in my eyes?"

Su Chengyu, who had long discerned the strength of this Demon Empress, never regarded her as a threat from the start!

The sword flew like a dragon!
