Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: The Demon Clan Takes Action

Before coming here, Su Chengyu had harbored a doubt.

Why was the place pointed to by the map so remote and narrow?

In such a space, let alone hiding any treasures, it would be difficult to even set up a Spirit Gathering Formation for someone to cultivate in seclusion.

After entering the interior of Mount Fuji and seeing the Demon Clan spread out inside, Su Chengyu finally realized something.

He had been mistaken from the very start; the ultimate destination indicated by the map was unlikely the true goal. The so-called treasures left by the True Dragon were not there either.

That place was nothing more than an entrance.

The True Dragon that had achieved the Realm of the Demon God, the greatest secret he left behind or guarded, was not a place but an entrance.

Just like Qingqiu, the Dragon Cave was not in this world but situated within another Cave Heaven!

And among the six treasured seals, the True Dragon Reverse Scale was very likely the key to open that Cave Heaven. Without gathering the six pieces of the True Dragon Reverse Scale, even if someone found that place, no one would be able to locate where exactly the Dragon Cave is.

"Su Chengyu?"

The Jiugui of the Yihe Clan noticed Su Chengyu’s peculiarity and asked in a puzzled voice.

Regaining his composure immediately, Su Chengyu replied, "It’s nothing, I was just wondering if it’s safe here."

The Yihe Clan’s Jiugui chuckled and said, "Entering Mount Fuji, no one dares to say it’s definitely safe, after all, this is the territory of the Demon Clan, and it’s no secret that Yamata no Orochi is suppressed here."

Su Chengyu asked with some confusion, "Haven’t there always been interactions between Yamata no Orochi and the Dongying Royal Family? Why is it sealed here?"

The Yihe Clan’s Jiugui glanced at Su Chengyu lightly and said, "You don’t need to probe me about these matters. Even if I knew, chances are I would not tell you."

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised, "I thought that for the sake of profit, there was no information that the Yihe Clan wouldn’t sell."

"You’re not wrong in thinking that, but what you have offered is still not enough to tempt me. If you could guarantee that the opportunity for ascension will surely fall into my hands, then it wouldn’t just be this matter we could discuss—even the possibility of the Yihe Clan switching allegiance to Xia Country would be on the table."

Su Chengyu gave a slight smile, not taking the other party’s words seriously.

He could not make such a guarantee, and the Jiugui of the Yihe Clan was just speaking off the cuff.

Xia Country and Dongying had been in conflict for a long time, and the animosity between them was beyond reconciliation.

For a force like the Yihe Clan that had been rooted in Dongying for hundreds of years, even if they wanted to switch allegiance to Xia Country, Xia Country would not accept them. Both sides were well aware of this.

For the two of them to maintain their current cooperative relationship was already the best outcome driven by mutual interests. To go further, neither would trust the other.

In the midst of their conversation, the shurikens thrown by the Yihe Clan’s Jiugui had already killed several Demon Generals who had noticed the pair entering Mount Fuji and wanted to send a signal.

The moves of the Jiugui from the Yihe Clan were not only covert but also decisive. The few Demon Generals hidden in the shadows didn’t even perceive the threat coming before they were killed instantly.

It was then that Su Chengyu realized that this ninja from the Yihe Clan, although very polite to him, was still a Shadow-rank Ninja at the Peak of the Hollow Vacuum.

Asking a tiger for its skin, it was just like that, but Su Chengyu seemed to have no other choice.

After all, even with the Jiugui of the Yihe Clan by his side, Mount Fuji was still not entirely foolproof.

Yamata no Orochi...

Could it be the Demon God associated with the He Mao Clan?

Being a Demon God and in the Earth Immortal Realm, there would surely be levels of strength.

Yet aside from Su Linyuan, who was universally known to have reached the rank of Earth Immortal capable of ascension, the exact levels of other Earth Immortals remained a mystery to everyone.

The entity known as Yamata no Orochi was even older than Dongying itself, and its strength was undoubtedly among the top ranks of the Demon Gods.

Even though it had not yet reached the phase of ascension, the gap surely couldn’t have been too wide.

Such power was not something that Su Chengyu could provoke, let alone Ye Qingci who stood on his side—both should absolutely avoid such a being.

Clearly aware of this, Jiugui of Yihe was extremely cautious in his actions, and the two reached a clear consensus on this matter without any need for negotiation.

"Beyond the reclusive Demon God Yamata no Orochi within Mount Fuji, there are eight Demon Monarchs, each guarding a direction and occupying a territory within the mountain. As long as they are not offended, even if some mistakes occur, there is still room for salvage."

Jiugui of Yihe discussed the internal power structure of Mount Fuji with Su Chengyu.

"Do they all obey Yamata no Orochi?"

"How could they? While they fear the existence of Yamata no Orochi, unlike it, they can come and go from Mount Fuji freely. The respect that many from the Demon Clan have for Yamata no Orochi, a Demon God sealed in this place, is mere pretense. Of the eight Demon Monarchs, only three obey Yamata no Orochi directly; the other five have carved out kingdoms for themselves."

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised, "Yamata no Orochi is really content to let them divide the territory under its control?"

"Perhaps it’s inconvenient to take action, or it simply doesn’t care to. At that level of existence, each one has a quirky temperament."

Yamata no Orochi had a famous reputation in Dongying, but there were far more Demon Gods in Dongying than just Yamata no Orochi.

In fact, when Xia Country rose a hundred years prior, beginning to eliminate some of the troublesome demons within its borders, many demons went into hiding at sea, and quite a few eventually chose to settle anew near Dongying.

One big reason Dongying had been able to contend with Xia Country over the years was the covert assistance from these Demon Gods.

Although they did not usually obey the Dongying Royal Family, the moment Xia Country intensified its assault on Dongying, these concealed Demon Gods would take action.

However, that level of conflict was not something Su Chengyu, an ordinary person, could be aware of.

It was a struggle between Immortals; it was a war between nations.

This was also one of the fundamental reasons for the conflict between Xia Country and Dongying.

The animosity of Dongying’s Demon Clan towards Xia Citizens was not the least bit less intense than that of any Dongying citizen.

"Which wave is this?"

Having dealt with another group of demons that had approached them, Jiugui of Yihe, feeling that something was amiss, asked.

"The fourth wave of demons."

Yu Yanshu, who had been in charge of the rear, immediately spoke up.

Just as Su Chengyu was about to ask a question, Jiugui of Yihe frowned and spoke first, "Scattered demons wouldn’t be able to detect us so easily. I have a bad premonition; we may have attracted the attention of one of the Demon Monarchs."

"What should we do?"

Yu Yanshu instinctively spoke up, her gaze also turning towards Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu glanced at Jiugui of Yihe, who immediately nodded, and then Su Chengyu said, "Yan’er, no need to hide your presence, let’s quickly leave this area at full speed."

Without any hesitation and sensing that something was awry, the three of them made no effort to conceal themselves and hastened their pace.

And the moment they revealed their presence, countless strands of Demon Qi immediately locked onto the three of them.
