Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: A Woman
Su Chengyu confirmed that there were no other tricks on the jade charm and it was purely for one-way communication, and then he crushed the jade charm directly while sword-flying over the sea.
Watching that Divine Sense drifting towards the distance, Su Chengyu slightly narrowed his eyes.
This was probably the closest he had ever been to Long Xuan.
At this moment, he could fully strike and destroy this Divine Sense, but he knew it was meaningless.
In the end, it still depended on whether the two of them would meet in this vast sea.
He didn’t think that someone as cold as Long Xuan would particularly come here to find him because of the Long family’s enmity with him.
Moreover, Long Xuan’s demeanor at the Golden Palace hadn’t shown much interest in him.
If it weren’t for The Great Path Manifestation that surrounded him, perhaps Long Xuan wouldn’t have appeared in the Golden Palace at all.
"The world is so vast, surely I won’t always bump into this guy," Su Chengyu muttered to himself.
"Who knows? With your luck, trouble always seems to follow," Heaven-Mending Stone, now replenished with the breath of Dao and more mana-filled than before, was not always asleep as before and took the rare opportunity to chat with Su Chengyu.
"If I could, I would indeed hope to have some peace," Su Chengyu said with a light chuckle.
"Give it up. With your personality where you find trouble even when there’s none, do you really think you want peace?"
Su Chengyu neither agreed nor disagreed, refraining from explaining anything.
He was not oblivious to the fact that he was always at the center of trouble, not to mention the widespread entanglements involving Yu Yanshu and the Earth Core Lotus.
From the moment he Ascended Dao, Su Chengyu’s fate had been tied to the fall of Su Linyuan, and he inevitably had to investigate how his grandfather went from being a founding noble to his eventual downfall.
However, the truth was nearly uncovered.
Su Chengyu calculated the days. He had stayed in the Golden Palace for ten days, and now only one month was left from the two-month deadline.
Within one month, he had to advance to Nascent Soul!
"Who goes there!"
Just as he entered the waters of Dongying, a strangely looking demon suddenly appeared in front of Su Chengyu.
This creature was standing upright on the surface of the sea, its body completely green. Su Chengyu, seeing such a creature for the first time, paused and hesitated.
"He Tong?"
"How audacious! I am the great sea envoy of the Dongying border territories, Lord He Tong! Who are you, and report your name at once!"
Listening to the other’s tone, Su Chengyu found it somewhat amusing but still softly said, "I come from the Demon Hunting Office of Xia Nation, you can call me ChengYu."
"Again... again Xia Nation?"
Upon hearing this word, He Tong’s already large, bell-like eyes widened by yet another thirty percent, then without any hesitation, he dived straight into the sea.
Leaving Su Chengyu alone in the wind, somewhat disordered, not understanding what had happened.
Though the other spoke in a comical manner, to audaciously stop people like that, he must have some connection with the Dongying authorities. Su Chengyu was indeed somewhat unprepared for this mouse seeing a cat type of reaction.
Probing the seabed with his Divine Sense, but no longer finding the aura of that fellow from before, Su Chengyu could only give up and no longer ponder over it, boldly stepping into the territory of Dongying Country.
Deep under the sea, several shrimp soldiers and crab generals gathered near He Tong’s residence, somewhat puzzled, said, "Lord He Tong? Why did you just let that Cultivator go?"
"Not letting go? Seeking death, are you? Do you have any idea what I’ve been through this past month!"
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other, clearly not understanding what He Tong meant by his words.
"Got a smoke?" He Tong looked up at the sky and feigned depth as he spoke.
One shrimp soldier thought for a moment before responding, "Lord He Tong, we are under the sea."
"Can’t I just take a drag?"
He Tong asked heatedly, unable to understand why these guys were so clueless.
"Taking one drag is pointless, better come ashore with me to smoke."
"I want to smoke wherever..."
Already in a bad mood, He Tong was about to curse reflexively at the intruding voice, but the glimpse of the arrival’s attire from the corner of his eye drastically changed his expression, and he immediately knelt to the ground.
"Great Onmyoji...Lord! Why have you come?"
Wearing a tall hat and a hunter’s kimono with purple and gold trim, He Tong knew this attire was only worn by those from the four great Yijing Temples who qualified as Onmyoji!
And such a high-ranking person, regardless of their strength, was not someone a minor He Tong could afford to offend.
"Can I not come? If I didn’t come, how many more people would you let in this month?"
He Tong swallowed hard and stuttered, "Lord, though I have let people in, I have recorded everything, waiting to report them all on the reporting day."
He Tong’s strength was indeed not weak, but to stop the true powerhouses as the Demon King would clearly be impossible, so the higher-ups did not excuse his avoiding combat.
"But you should know that if special individuals enter the territory, you must report them immediately, right?"
He Tong’s heart pounded as he trembled, "Lord, I was shortsighted and did not know whom you are referring to."
"A woman."
"A woman?"
A chill ran down He Tong’s spine, and the image of that stunning human woman flashed through his mind.
"Lord...half a month ago, indeed, a woman from Xia Country entered the territory through me."
"Then do you know that this Xia Country woman is from the Demon Slayer Department?"
He Tong’s eyes widened, then he started frantically kowtowing, "Lord forgive me, her strength was far beyond mine! I dared not interrogate her and was unaware of her identity!"
"Forgive? Telling me this isn’t useful, go explain it to the cabinet."
The Onmyoji spoke coldly; he had come here not to seek justice, but merely to take this man away.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, He Tong immediately asked, "May I ask, Lord, what did that woman do?"
The Onmyoji glanced coldly at He Tong and said softly, "She trespassed into Yijing Temple, slew a hundred demons, and gravely injured several Great Onmyoji."
He Tong, hearing the chilling news, swallowed hard and continued to ask, "Has that woman been apprehended?"
"If she had been apprehended, why would I still be here looking for clues? She’s still fleeing within the country, whereabouts unknown."
The Onmyoji’s eyes flashed dangerously; although he hadn’t experienced that night’s raid personally, many of the demons he nurtured had died that night, and he obviously harbored deep hatred for her.
Sensing the hatred in the other’s eyes, He Tong felt as if he had found some hope, and he immediately said, "Lord! I have another piece of information that might be of some use to you!"
"Speak." The Onmyoji spoke to He Tong coldly.
"Just now, someone claiming to be from the Demon Slayer Department has entered the territory through me. It wasn’t long ago, and Lord, if you pursue now, you might still catch up!"
