Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: All Parties Gather

Su Chengyu clenched his fists, remaining silent beside.

Before Ye Qingci had spoken, he had indeed been unaware of the Yihe Jiugui following right behind him.

It could be said that if it wasn’t for Ye Qingci accompanying him, Yihe Jiugui could have remained hidden indefinitely and even chosen to ambush him at any time.

As for the Dongying Ninja with whom an alliance had temporarily been formed, Su Chengyu didn’t trust him much more than he trusted Ye Qingci.

Yihe Jiugui showed no sign of relaxing his vigilance.

"You both may not trust me, but fighting with me right now doesn’t seem like a wise choice, does it? Don’t you want to know who is inside?"

"You know?"

Su Chengyu asked, surprised.

Yihe Jiugui nodded towards the other side of the pool covered by the stone wall: "When it comes to gathering intelligence, I’ll acknowledge being second-best, but no one in Dongying dares to claim they’re first. Cold Moon Envoy, you should have experienced this, right?"

Ye Qingci spoke coldly upon hearing this: "The information is correct, but you should have realized early on that the passageway was a trap, right?"

Yihe Jiugui shook his head: "I could only say I was suspicious, since their arrangements that day were too extreme, and the optimal infiltration route seemed too deliberately laid out. But these were mere suspicions, and besides, even if I had taken the liberty of warning Saint Envoy at that time, Cold Moon Envoy would probably not have changed her route, right?"

"Choosing is my affair."

"And thinking is my affair."

They stood opposed, their attitudes evidently getting tougher in front of the gateway leading to the Dragon Cave.

Yihe Jiugui did not want to kill Ye Qingci. If possible, he did not want to kill anyone present.

Whether it was Dongying or Xia Country, or even the Demon Monarchs within Mount Fuji, Yihe Jiugui did not want to make enemies of them.

But if anyone stood in the way of his search for the path to immortality, he was equally willing to kill anyone for it!

Before the quest for immortality, all can perish!

Witnessing the tension between the two escalating, Su Chengyu felt uneasy. He hesitated about whether to interject and calm them down when a sudden loud noise echoed from the other side of the pool.

The immense shockwave of Spiritual Energy reached them through the stone walls, causing Su Chengyu’s God’s Soul to tremble.

Ye Qingci swiftly dissipated most of the Spiritual Energy’s fluctuations with a wave of her hand, her brows tightly furrowed.

Yihe Jiugui also felt something was amiss instantly, his complexion turning somewhat unsightly—he was clearly concerned about the situation on the other side.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu took the opportunity to directly address him: "Lord Yihe! Who exactly are the people on the other side?"

Although Yihe Jiugui still wanted to leverage this intelligence to maintain the upper hand in negotiations with Su Chengyu and the other, the commotion required Yihe Jiugui to reassess the situation.

After a brief consideration, Yihe Jiugui finally spoke.

"A sixth-grade Demon Monarch from Mount Fuji, Shinazugawa Tengen, and... Long Xuan from Xia Country."

"Long Xuan? What is he doing here?"

Upon hearing the name, Ye Qingci was visibly moved, instinctively reacting.

Shinazugawa Tengen, noting Ye Qingci’s response, also showed some surprise before speaking: "Cold Moon Envoy, do you have a grudge against Long Xuan?"

"It’s none of your business!"

Ye Qingci’s cold and direct words showed a clear dissatisfaction in the face of the Dongying Jiugui’s repeated probing.

Seeing this, Dongying Jiugui already had a rough guess in his mind and blinked as he said, "Saint Envoy, since you are not in cahoots with them, then this matter can be easily settled. Over there, Shinazugawa Tengen and a sixth-grade Demon Monarch are joining forces to deal with Long Xuan; we just need to wait a little longer to see them both suffer injuries."

At these words, Ye Qingci immediately frowned, while Su Chengyu turned his head and asked, "Shinazugawa Tengen? How did he get here too?"

Dongying Jiugui sneered, "That’s what I’d like to ask you!"

Dongying Jiugui’s words were filled with dissatisfaction, clearly thinking that it was Su Chengyu who revealed the location to Shinazugawa.

Su Chengyu, too lazy to defend himself, wondered how Shinazugawa Tengen had found this place and arrived at the Dragon Cave before them.

Ye Qingci, observing Su Chengyu’s confusion, sharply caught onto something and said, "It was your Shadow Escape Amulet."

Su Chengyu was taken aback and then said, "That’s not right, I got this amulet from the hands of Shinazugawa Tengen’s granddaughter; I checked it at the time and there was nothing wrong with it."

"You underestimate our Shadow-rank Ninjas too much."

Dongying Jiugui chimed in, looking at Su Chengyu who still wanted to speak, he continued.

"Even if this amulet had no issues at first, during your last encounter with Shinazugawa Tengen, he could have imperceptibly left a trace right in front of you."

Dongying Jiugui’s words made Su Chengyu freeze on the spot, realizing he had not rechecked the Shadow Escape Amulet afterward; this tactic was beyond what Su Chengyu could conceive.

At this moment, Ye Qingci also said, "During your fight with Ping Shan Demon, I indeed sensed an energy heading towards the outside of Mount Fuji."

Hearing this, Su Chengyu’s mind cleared completely, and he clenched his fists and said, "Was it when the amulet was damaged? I’m sorry, Ye... Saint Envoy, I was careless."

First, he was completely unaware of being followed by Dongying Jiugui, and then he revealed their destination.

Two major errors in one day were evidently hard for Su Chengyu to accept.

"It doesn’t matter, the gap in realms is too vast, which is why I said I didn’t want you to have too much contact with these people."

Ye Qingci, however, didn’t blame Su Chengyu in the slightest, and although she didn’t say it out loud, she thought that Su Chengyu had done quite well.

With the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, being able to maneuver among a group from the Hollow Vacuum and all that occurred in Dongying had already exceeded what Su Chengyu could currently manage.

"Saint Envoy, you’re not being fair. I’ve always treated him with respect since our contact," Dongying Jiugui retorted.

Ye Qingci gave him a cold glance and said without a hint of politeness, "We cannot afford your Dongying courtesies."

Dongying Jiugui, faced with coldness when offering warmth, didn’t take it to heart.

Impatience would spoil great plans, and with the current favorable situation, he did not wish to fall out with Su Chengyu. Missing the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cave would be a real loss.

Dongying Jiugui, who had just probed the other side, had also confirmed that the Dragon Cave was not beyond the water pool, and that what lay beyond was merely an entrance to a passageway leading to a Small Opening.

How to activate it, Dongying Jiugui didn’t know, but he was certain Su Chengyu did.

For now, they just needed to wait quietly right here for the outcome of the life and death match on the other side.

At this silent moment, both Ye Qingci and Su Chengyu harbored the same thoughts, and after another violent disturbance of Spiritual Energy, Ye Qingci’s eyebrows furrowed.

Sensing something was amiss, Su Chengyu asked quietly, "Aunt Ye, what’s wrong?"

"Long Xuan is about to make a serious move."
