Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Guidance

"Shuten-dōji? I’ve never seen it."

Su Chengyu firmly denied without any hesitation.

"Mr. Su need not be tense, I am not here to avenge Shuten-dōji," the witch explained immediately, understanding what Su Chengyu was wary of.

Smiling, Su Chengyu said, "Firstly, I’m not afraid you’re here for revenge. Secondly, I really haven’t seen Shuten-dōji. At the very least, I’ve never directly faced that guy and it’s even less likely that I’m the one who killed him."

Although Su Chengyu from Liuli Country did come into contact with Shuten-dōji, he had indeed never fought with him.

When Shuten-dōji appeared, Su Chengyu was coincidentally taken into that strange realm by the Hongmeng Heavenly Book, and it was Chiyomiko who fought against him. As for the death, that was entirely the doing of Long Xuan.

"So Shuten-dōji really is dead?!"

The witch did not care about Su Chengyu’s explanation, only latching onto the fact that she cared about most, her face full of joy.

Su Chengyu found it a bit strange, but still replied, "Yes, he’s dead. He died at the hands of Long Xuan."

"Long Xuan?"

Even in Dongying, Long Xuan had a long-standing reputation, although not many knew of his true realm.

But nearly a year ago, before Long Xuan entered seclusion, everyone already knew that this outstanding young man from Huaxia possessed strength that could rival the Hollow Realm.

Su Chengyu carefully observed the witch’s demeanor, and seeing nothing but joy, he finally spoke.

"Does Shuten-dōji have a grudge against your shrine?"

The witch nodded and said, "My master died at the hands of Shuten-dōji, and my disciple was humiliated to death by him. Sadly, I was powerless and couldn’t take revenge with my own hands. Now that Shuten-dōji has died, my heart is much more at ease."

"Even if you can’t deal with Shuten-dōji, surely the He Mao Clan can, right?"

The shrine operated by the witch on behalf of the He Mao Clan, though not very powerful, was the only one open to the public, and it held a special significance for the whole He Mao Clan.

The actual status of this witch was far higher than her own strength.

If she had requested it, the He Mao Clan had no reason not to help her take care of Shuten-dōji, unless the He Mao Clan had some connections with Shuten-dōji.

However, the witch shook her head, "I can only tell you, Mr. Su, that the He Mao Clan has no direct connection with Shuten-dōji, but they wouldn’t help me kill him either."

After all, the witch was from the He Mao Clan, and her grudge with Shuten-dōji was personal. The He Mao Clan would definitely not take action over such a personal matter.

Listening to the witch’s words and grasping at the vague clues, Su Chengyu asked, "Is it because of Shuten-dōji’s bloodline?"

Surprised, the witch looked up and then laughed, "Mr. Su knows even this and still claims you’ve never seen Shuten-dōji?"

"I haven’t seen him if I say I haven’t seen him, believe it or not that’s up to you."

Su Chengyu couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore and turned around, planning to leave the place.

"Mr. Su."

"Is there anything else?"

Su Chengyu stopped in his tracks, ready to take action at any moment.

"Nothing, although I don’t know what you are here for, you might as well try your luck at the ancestral shrine. That’s where you are most likely to find what you are looking for. Of course, whether you believe that is also up to you."

The witch spoke softly, then bowed respectfully and slowly left the pavilion.

Su Chengyu didn’t speak and swiftly flew away from the shrine. After distancing himself from the shrine, he then turned his gaze towards the direction of Mount Fuji.

"Su kid, you aren’t looking to get yourself killed again, are you? You believe that woman and really want to go there? That accursed place is obviously inhabited by a Demon God."

The weary voice of the Heaven-Mending Stone echoed in his mind.

Su Chengyu gave a sideways glance: "Do I look that stupid to you?"

Although the witch claimed it was up to him to believe or not, Su Chengyu was almost certain that she had no good intentions.

It would be fine if she was using her own ways to help the He Mao Clan, but what he feared most was the witch leading trouble away from the He Mao Clan to someone else.

Instead of leading it to He Mao, she might be guiding Su Chengyu, or even all the people who came from Xia Country to Dongying, directly into opposition with the Demon God Yamata no Orochi.

"I’m not in a rush to invite that kind of trouble."

"I have a feeling you’ve been involved in quite a few things like this..."

The Heaven-Mending Stone muttered in its heart, having grown accustomed to Su Chengyu and starting to tease him without any courtesy.

Su Chengyu didn’t mind, knowing that he owed much to the Heaven-Mending Stone for this trip to Dongying.

If it were just for the Hua family, Su Chengyu would have suffered a significant setback.

"I have a good grasp of the situation, let’s go take a look at the He Mao Family first."

Leaving that statement behind, Su Chengyu finally decided on his destination and headed towards the direction of JinPing County.

At the shrine, following Su Chengyu’s departure, a regular witch appeared at the witch’s side and asked in puzzlement.

"Master Witch, why would you want to help those people from Xia Country?"

"We can’t slay demons ourselves, and the He Mao Family can’t help us slay them. If there’s someone willing to take the lead for us, why wouldn’t we be happy?"

The witch said with a light laugh. She didn’t plan against Su Chengyu, but in a certain sense, she indeed betrayed the He Mao Clan, albeit with a little misunderstanding involved.

She mistook Su Chengyu for being an accomplice of Ye Qingci, therefore subconsciously assuming that Su Chengyu was also targeting the Demon Monarch.

The information she provided wasn’t related to the Emperor’s Six Treasures but to the hiding place of that Demon Monarch.

Mount Fuji was not only home to Demon Gods, but recognized Demon Monarchs could also hide there.

Ye Qingci’s target was also hidden there.

Unfortunately, Su Chengyu, who did not realize this, did not pass the news to Ye Qingci immediately.

JinPing, the dwelling place of the He Mao Clan.

The He Mao Clan quite naturally became the local overlords of JinPing, and the influence of this aristocratic family that had once been mountain bandit chieftains was much greater than what outsiders could see.

And how could one aspire to truly enter Dongying’s top circle of power without having any connections with the Demon Clan?

"The Demon Qi in this place isn’t weak either."

Observing the Demon Clan transformed into human forms and living in JinPing County, Su Chengyu was slightly shocked, knowing such a thing would be absolutely unthinkable in Xia Country.

"Tsk tsk, this sight is quite nostalgic; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen humans and demons coexisting like this."

The Heaven-Mending Stone said with a hint of reminiscence in its voice.

Surprised, Su Chengyu asked, "Are there also demons among the Immortals in the Immortal World?"

The Heaven-Mending Stone rolled its eyes at him, clearly thinking the question was nonsensical. "Kid, in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless planes, all kinds of different clans exist, and humans are just one of them. Humans call other clans demons or foreign clans, but in the eyes of those clans, aren’t humans also a foreign clan?"

Su Chengyu nodded.

"For example, the things you find in the Questioning the Dao Sect are not just strange demons; even more bizarre creatures exist there. Although we’re not close, I quite like the sights there," the Heaven-Mending Stone said.

Being a unique being born from the Heaven-Mending Stone with its own consciousness, the stone itself didn’t realize that it was also one of those strange creatures.

Just as Su Chengyu was about to say something, an ordinary-looking Demon Clan man passed by him, and suddenly two alerting words echoed in his ear.

"Run now!"
