Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Hidden Intent to Kill

Izumo Society.

"Ye Qingci! What exactly do you want? We’ve already said that we don’t know where that Demon Monarch you’re looking for is hiding!"

This Heavenly Yin-Yang Master from the Izumo Society spoke with full anger toward Ye Qingci.

However, Ye Qingci, who was in the air, seemed as if he hadn’t heard at all, and from a distance, a sword strike was launched toward the Izumo Shrine.

From within the Izumo Shrine, two Shikigami flew out, attempting to block the sword with their shoulders, but this tactic only managed to slow the fall of the sword’s edge for a moment.

In just a few seconds, the two Shikigami were reduced to nothing beneath the sword’s edge, landing directly on the eastern gate of the Society.

And Ye Qingci, having completed that sword strike, made no pause before his figure vanished from the Izumo Society.

The Heavenly Yin-Yang Master was so angry at Ye Qingci’s instantly dissipating presence that he almost spat blood.

To keep her, impossible; to pursue her, inferior in battle; He certainly had laid a trap as tight as a web of heaven and earth within the Izumo Shrine, yet Ye Qingci, as if she knew their deployment in advance, no matter how they arranged it, could not be caught in it.

He had thought about going up and fighting Ye Qingci, but this woman, who appeared and disappeared like a ghost, always followed her appearances with a single sword strike.

The sharp sword glow directly severed the prohibitions of the Izumo Society, dealt a heavy blow to the Society, and then she turned around and left immediately, never giving him the chance to engage in combat.

"It’s strange, she did not act like this before. Why does it seem like she’s adamant that we know the Demon Monarch’s information this time, and has started to wear us down?"

Noticing the commotion here, another Heavenly Yin-Yang Master from another part of the Izumo Society came over with a frown.

The two brothers were both Heavenly Yin-Yang Masters raised by He Mao, with indistinguishable strength, and together in a joint attack, they could exert the power not inferior to that of a mid-stage Heavenly Yin-Yang Master.

"Big brother, sorry, I let that person escape again."

Akai Shigeru shook his head; he had also encountered Ye Qingci a few times and knew that every time she appeared, it was just for a hit-and-run. If it were him, he couldn’t keep her either.

"It’s not your fault. We really don’t have a good way to deal with her constant harassment; I just don’t understand how she knows about our deployment."

"Is big brother suspecting that there is her informant within the Society?"

Akai Sei grasped the point immediately, and with a swift thought, he said, "I will investigate this personally, and I will not let anyone who dares to betray the Society get away."

Akai Shigeru nodded, reassured to let Akai Sei carry out the investigation.

The more he thought about it, the more that seemed the only possibility; otherwise, it didn’t make sense how Ye Qingci could always avoid the traps they set.

It surely couldn’t be that a Shadow-rank Ninja was secretly helping her gather information, could it?

That would be too absurd.

"I’m getting a bit annoyed."

Ye Qingci spoke coldly, addressing the ninja dressed in all black, lying on the roof beam beside her.

The Yihe Jiugui, with closed eyes, then opened them and proactively said, "I have a special identity, although I can help you investigate, I definitely cannot join forces with you directly against the Izumo Society."

He provided covert assistance to Ye Qingci, but if he were to directly confront the Izumo Society, which was represented by Ye Qingci from the Demon Slayer Department, he would inevitably make the entire Yihe Clan the public enemy of Dongying.

"No need, just tell me the arrangement, and I alone can deal with the two of them," she said.

Upon hearing this, Jiugui of Yihe raised an eyebrow and reassessed Ye Qingci. He could sense that this woman, at the Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm, possessed the strength to confront Hollow Vacuum, but her statement still compelled Jiugui to reassess her power.

Had he misjudged her? Had she already reached Hollow Vacuum? Otherwise, how could she dare to say such a thing?

Noticing Jiugui’s gaze, Ye Qingci turned her head indifferently, "If you want to know my true strength, why not just try me?"

Jiugui then withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and explained, "Haven’t I already told you? I was entrusted by Su Chengyu to assist you here."

"I know, and that’s why you’re still able to stand here alive and speak to me."

Ye Qingci’s blunt words gave Jiugui a headache.

He found that compared to Su Chengyu, this woman was much harder to deal with.

Jiugui had originally not wanted to come himself and had thought of sending trustworthy disciples like Lily, but considering that he would have to deal with Ye Qingci, he eventually changed his mind.

First, he was quite interested in this legendary figure from Xia Country, and second, he was worried about misunderstandings stemming from others.

As it turned out, Jiugui’s judgement was very correct. Having not intended to interact directly with Ye Qingci, he was soon detected by her upon arriving at the Izumo Society and, without hesitation, she attacked him.

Thus, Jiugui had no choice but to reveal the details of the deal he had arranged with Su Chengyu, which allowed him to avoid a deadly confrontation with her.

"Miss Ye, you must already know that Mr. Su has now infiltrated JinPing. The longer we can restrain those two Heavenly Yin-Yang Masters here, the more assured Mr. Su’s safety will be," he said.

Hearing this, Ye Qingci was unmoved, "You seem to have misunderstood something. I’m not here to help Su Cheng, I have my own matters to attend to."

While receiving the deployment information about the Izumo Shrine from Jiugui allowed her to harass the shrine without taking risks, the past few days had proven that this approach had no effect.

Therefore, regardless of whether the Izumo Shrine knew the whereabouts of the Demon Monarch, she had to bring things to an end.

Upon hearing this, Jiugui asked, "Are your injuries healed, Miss Ye?"

Ye Qingci frowned and her expression turned colder again, "You talk too much."

Jiugui smiled faintly, "Well then, tonight I will scout the Izumo Shrine’s deployment for Miss Ye one last time. After that, what you do is none of my concern."

"You’re leaving?"

Ye Qingci’s face was expressionless, but a flash of murderous intent deep down in her heart swiftly passed.

Jiugui smiled and said, "Miss Ye, rest assured, I won’t make a move against Mr. Su. I am someone who does not like to take risks, and until the entrance to the Dragon Cave is truly in sight, I will cooperate with Mr. Su and you as much as possible."

After saying this, Jiugui vanished from the spot in an instant. Ye Qingci turned to look at the opened window; outside, Jiugui’s presence had completely disappeared.

In the darkness of the night, Jiugui, clad in black, had arrived near the Izumo Society, but he didn’t immediately infiltrate it. Instead, he turned his head in the direction of Ye Qingci and muttered to himself.

"Such a well-hidden murderous intent, despite having been in contact for so long, I never realized this woman still harbored such strong vigilance against me. This woman is not simple."
