Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: He Mao’s Old Residence

Kuronagi’s hand landed on the Heavenly Pill, and the last bit of clarity compelled him to look up at Su Chengyu and make a statement.

"Brother Chengyu, although I am truly tempted, I must speak plainly before anything else; I cannot guarantee that I will fully support the cooperation with the main family."

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, this is merely a token of gratitude. It has nothing to do with the cooperation."

Hearing this from Su Chengyu, Kuronagi swallowed hard, no longer concerned about the specifics, and directly accepted the two hundred jars of Heavenly Pills.

"Brother Chengyu, you are really too generous. Why should the main family worry so much? Cooperating with someone as generous as you is definitely a win-win situation!"

Su Chengyu smiled noncommittally.

It’s said that the tail wags the dog, and now Kuronagi’s tail was increasingly crooked.

The He Mao Clan had obviously sensed something, which is why they had called Kuronagi away today.

Unfortunately, no sooner had they managed to realign Kuronagi’s stance a bit, than Su Chengyu’s two hundred Heavenly Pills lured him back.

"Brother, you flatter me. But indeed, there’s a small favor I’d like to ask of you."

"Brother Chengyu, why stand on ceremony? Just tell me what you need!"

After receiving the two hundred Heavenly Pills, there was no way Kuronagi could refuse Su Chengyu. As long as it did not involve directly betraying the He Mao Clan, Kuronagi would agree without blinking.

"It’s like this, brother. Today when I went out, although I concealed my aura, it seemed like everyone knew I was a foreigner from JinPing. Do you know why this might be?"

"Oh, that? We in JinPing, whether demons or humans, all carry a jade pendant that bears the JinPing aura. Yours is that of a guest, but don’t worry too much about it—aside from a few old immortals, there aren’t many who dare to provoke someone seen with my Mo Cui."

"Not necessarily," Su Chengyu laughed. "Today, Crane Cried sought me out—it was his family’s younger generation looking for trouble with me, wasn’t it?"

Kuronagi was suddenly at a loss for words. Both knew well that Crane Cried’s descendants had come specifically for Su Chengyu—they naturally wouldn’t afford Kuronagi any respect.

Previously Kuronagi could have said such things, but now, after taking so many things from Su Chengyu, how could he voice such thoughts?

Wouldn’t that be admitting that his influence in JinPing was utterly useless?

Seeing Kuronagi’s state, Su Chengyu struck while the iron was hot, "Brother Kuronagi, I don’t want to cause any trouble, I just don’t want those nuisances finding me again. Could you give me an ordinary token so I can have some peace these few days?"

Kuronagi hesitated a bit. Although it wasn’t exactly betrayal, it was certainly treading on the edge of what was permissible.

"Brother, sooner or later I will be cooperating with JinPing. When that time comes, wouldn’t the He Mao Clan still grant me such a token? It’s merely a matter of sooner or later."

Su Chengyu, seizing the moment, finally swayed Kuronagi, who took a deep breath and pulled an unmarked jade token from his chest and tossed it to Su Chengyu. "Drip your blood into it, and it will bind to you. Then other demons from JinPing won’t recognize you as a foreigner."

Su Chengyu immediately did as Kuronagi had instructed, and indeed, the jade token, originally carrying only the JinPing aura, was marked by Su Chengyu’s presence.

"Little brother, be careful. This token will prevent ordinary people of JinPing from recognizing you. But those who reside in JinPing for long can still tell you’re a foreigner. Don’t get exposed, or I won’t be able to handle it."

Su Chengyu collected the token and reassured confidently, "Don’t worry, Brother Kuronagi, I have it all figured out."

Kuronagi nodded, still feeling slightly unconvinced but unable to say more at this point, primarily since he had accepted two hundred top-notch Heavenly Pills from Su Chengyu.

Kuronagi was well aware of the value of this trinket.

After all, receiving favors makes one obligated, and eating someone’s food makes one short of words.

After giving Su Chengyu a few last words of caution, Kuronagi stood up and asked Su Chengyu to prepare mentally for tomorrow’s visit to the main house before leaving the place.

After Kuronagi had left, Yu Yanshu still felt somewhat surreal, saying, "That’s it? We got the Token just like that?"

Su Chengyu chuckled, "What’s so strange about that? Kuronagi trusts me. He never thought my visit to JinPing was targeting the He Mao Clan. As long as nothing big happens, even if it gets exposed, at most he’ll just face some punishment. Don’t forget, he’s still a Demon Emperor."

Yu Yanshu blinked, "I still think this bear demon was too casual."

"That’s because you know I’m planning to sneak into the He Mao Clan tonight. Without that context, trading two hundred Heavenly Pills for an identity proof, which do you think is more important?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yanshu began to understand a bit more.

"Men die for money and birds die for food. Those who walk the path of cultivation are bound to take risks, everyone just chooses different risks. Tonight, you should leave JinPing. No matter how things unfold tonight, it’s certain you can no longer stay here."

Yu Yanshu nodded, understanding that Su Chengyu was resolved to take a risk.

After all, the He Mao Family was different from the Liuli Golden Palace. Even though Shuten-dōji of the Golden Palace was a Demon Monarch, his presence was always hidden, and showing up would bring a lot of trouble.

Even if they couldn’t trace it back to himself, Su Chengyu had no doubt the He Mao Family would adopt an attitude of better killing mistakenly than letting go, and forcibly keep him.

Tonight would be Su Chengyu’s last chance.

As night fell, Su Chengyu concealed his aura and left the place alone.

He traveled through the air over JinPing and quickly arrived at the spot agreed upon with Bai Huang, surveyed the area briefly, and soon noticed Bai Huang, who had arrived earlier than him, and appeared silently behind him.

Bai Huang instinctively turned his head upon sensing someone, but Su Chengyu quickly covered his mouth.

"Don’t speak, it’s me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Huang then relaxed, releasing his guard.

"How long have you been here?"

"I arrived an hour ago, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone else nearby."

Su Chengyu nodded and looked towards the other house not far from the He Mao main house.

This location was also part of the He Mao main house’s domain, though it was no longer inhabited. If it wasn’t for the regular cleaning, one might think it had been abandoned.

"This place used to be the main residence of the main house, but it was abandoned as the family grew in number."

"You can tell, there’s a Formation centered around the Five Elements here, very intricate, likely crafted by several Heavenly Yin-Yang Masters. Fortunately, now there’s no mana maintaining its operation, otherwise, just entering it would cost a lot of trouble. Take out the Jade Pendant and check."

Upon hearing this, Bai Huang immediately took out the Yin Pendant, the jade pendant emitting a white light that flickered at a much faster rate than before when it was at Bai Huang’s home.
