Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: Demon God’s Trail

Yihe Bar.

The atmosphere was subdued, and as the last trace of clarity from the Spiritual Platform faded, Lily collapsed completely onto the man in front of her.

It took Lily quite a while to regain a bit of strength and she crawled out of bed, glancing at Su Chengyu who was immersed in his cultivation, and said helplessly, "It seems I’ve lost."

Most of her spiritual essence had been absorbed. Since the cultivation technique she practiced was not compatible with Su Chengyu’s, Lily didn’t benefit at all from the warmth of that night.

In this war where only one side was destined to win, Lily had been utterly defeated, both in spirit and in body.

"Sorry."

With his cultivation practice ended, Su Chengyu opened his eyes and looked at Lily, uttering only these two words.

Lily offered a shallow smile, "Sorry for what? Aren’t we both grown-ups? Can’t you take responsibility for yourself?"

"I can offer additional compensation for this favor."

As the benefit had been entirely one-sided for Su Chengyu, Lily’s cultivation level hadn’t increased at all. In contrast, Su Chengyu himself was nearing perfection; he could feel he was barely a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

After taking that last step, it would be time for Tribulation.

"Oh? Didn’t you just say you don’t like such transactions?"

Lily opened her mouth with a smile, continuing, "Don’t worry about it, I was simply out-skilled. Although we both used the Dual Cultivation Method, it seems that my technique is still far inferior to yours."

Su Chengyu shook his head, Lily’s Dual Cultivation technique was, in fact, not much inferior to the Supreme Yang Xuan Nu Jue.

However, the technique itself held methods to control others’ minds, which inevitably made it a lesser path.

"If you need it, I can also teach you this technique."

Lily’s lips curled upward, her eyes charming as she looked at Su Chengyu, "What? Do you want to continue?"

"That’s not what I meant. Just taking advantage without giving anything in return doesn’t feel right to me."

Lily exhaled a long breath, softly saying, "It doesn’t count as that, just like you said, it’s all mutual scheming, after all. Before it all started, could you be certain that my technique wouldn’t affect you? I just lost the bet, that’s all. Besides... the experience was quite nice."

Caught off guard by Lily, Su Chengyu was speechless for a while before finally speaking, "It’s really hard to imagine you’re a virgin."

Lily’s mouth corner lifted, "I can’t help it. This is Dongying, and I am from the Yihe Clan, known for using all sorts of people. I haven’t eaten pork, but haven’t I seen pigs run? I’ve made quite the preparations for this day."

"The Yihe Clan invested quite an effort in training you, didn’t they?"

"I suppose so, since true geniuses are seldom willing to join our clan. Not long after I became a ninja, I was told the reason for my existence. But you needn’t worry about it. Win or lose, it’s a kind of liberation for me. After this, I can just be a normal ninja, no longer worrying about being given away to some stranger one day."

"Really?"

Lily smiled as she looked at Su Chengyu, "I consider myself quite lucky that the last person I’m with is you."

"Because I’m not an old man?"

"No, because the technique’s not bad."

"..."

In the art of risqué banter, Su Chengyu admitted he was no match for this woman.

"Let’s get back to the main topic. Did Mr. Su come to our Yihe Clan to ask for help, or to inquire about intelligence?"

"Intelligence."

Dongying is not like Liuli Country; it is a nation where Earth Immortals truly exist. In such a place, Su Chengyu had to be extremely careful with his actions.

"Do you have any news of a Xia Citizen named Ye Qingci?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking about this person?" Lily looked at Su Chengyu with some surprise.

"You know?"

"There’s no need to check; I already know about this person. She’s quite well-known in Dongying now."

After saying this, Lily told Su Chengyu about how Ye Qingci had attacked the Yijing Temple of the Yihe Clan.

"Is there no other news?"

Lily shook her head, "Not at the moment. This White Saint Envoy from the Demon Slayer Department is extremely cautious. In fact, the Yihe Clan had already received requests from the Four Major Guilds to help search for her whereabouts, but to no avail."

Su Chengyu blinked and said, "You haven’t really been looking, have you?"

The corners of Lily’s mouth curved up, "Talking with someone as smart as Mr. Su is so convenient. Indeed, we haven’t gone all out, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t serious. We just haven’t dispatched high-ranking ninjas, that’s all."

In this context, a high-ranking ninja corresponds to the Late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Without even the Late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, how could they possibly find Ye Qingci’s whereabouts? The Yihe Clan’s actions were clearly to avoid directly offending Xia Country.

They weren’t feeding from a golden spoon; their survival was within the gaps, otherwise, there wouldn’t be someone of Lily’s unique status.

Getting up from the tatami to dress in her sleepwear, Lily glanced at her mobile phone and then her expression shifted slightly before she directly presented it to Su Chengyu, "Your timing is impeccable. Had you come a day earlier, you might have missed this sensational event."

On the screen was the news of Ye Qingci’s encounter with an ambush at the Dao River Society that very night.

"That Ye Qingci, is she really just a Nascent Soul?"

Lily turned to Su Chengyu, who was still looking at the message, and asked.

"Yes."

Since Ye Qingci had faced the Onmyoji of the Four Major Guilds, it was certain they had seen her strength, so Su Chengyu saw no need to hide it.

"How audacious, challenging the Four Major Guilds with just the Nascent Soul Realm. It’s nearly akin to storming the Imperial Palace."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu instantly looked up and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The Imperial Palace is where the Dawn Harbor Emperor resides, no doubt inhabited by Land Immortals.

Although the Four Major Guilds are powerful, the legendary Onmyoji of the God Position had not been seen for a hundred years; strictly speaking, the two couldn’t be compared at all.

"It’s true that an Onmyoji of the God Position is rare to see in a hundred years, but don’t forget, the Onmyoji are not of the same lineage as witches; their ties with the Demon Clan are even closer than with the Royal Family."

"The Four Major Guilds have a Demon God backing them?"

Lily nodded, "It’s almost certain. Although there’s no definitive proof, according to the information collected by our Yihe Clan over the years, the Four Major Guilds indeed seem to have been associated with a Demon God in the past few decades."

Su Chengyu frowned with unease and asked hastily, "Can you find Ye Qingci’s location?"

Just as Lily was about to speak, Su Chengyu continued, "I assure you Xia Country won’t hold you responsible."

"You aren’t from the Demon Slayer Department, are you?"

Lily was somewhat perplexed. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Su Chengyu’s promise, but she couldn’t understand why Su Chengyu, a wanted criminal in Xia Country, would care so much about Ye Qingci from the Demon Slayer Department.

Su Chengyu found himself at a loss for words for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Lily said with a suspicious look, "Don’t tell me you and that Ye Qingci have that kind of relationship?"
