Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: A Suitable Way to Die

Su Chengyu turned his head in surprise and asked in astonishment, "Long Xuan is taking on two opponents at once and still holding back?"

He knew that Long Xuan’s strength had already reached the Peak of the Hollowed Void, but if Shinazugawa Tengen was indeed looking for an opportunity to ascend to immortality, he must also be a strong figure standing at the Peak of Hollow Void, and at this moment, he had the assistance of a sixth-grade Demon Monarch as well.

Even if Long Xuan had a way to deal with both of them, could he really afford to hold back?

"He suppresses lower-grade opponents, conceals his abilities against those of the same level, and even against those stronger than him, Long Xuan would not easily use his true strength.

It’s a habit that Long Xuan has always had, according to him, if he uses his full power from the start, there would be no meaning to the trial."

Although Ye Qingci had not seen Long Xuan take action many times, she still clearly remembered these provocative words he spoke back then.

"Speaking of which, it seems like Long Xuan said this during his time at Mount Qingcheng."

Su Chengyu was startled, then he spoke, "The inscription at Mount Qingcheng was left by him at that time?"

Ye Qingci nodded then looked at Su Chengyu, "Why, do you want to vindicate Mount Qingcheng?"

Feeling his heart touched by her pinpointing his fleeting thought, Su Chengyu said somewhat awkwardly, "I know I can’t do it now, but it’s okay to think about it, right?"

"Thinking is fine, but once you think about it, if you can’t achieve it, it will be difficult to let go."

Ye Qingci’s words were spoken lightly, but they held great weight. For many cultivators, many initial whims, if unattainable, could at best become obsessions affecting their cultivation, and at worst become demons that completely block the cultivator’s path to further cultivation.

However, upon hearing these words, Su Chengyu didn’t take them to heart, "If I can’t let go, then I won’t let go. One day I will accomplish it."

Ye Qingci nodded in approval, seeing Su Chengyu’s attitude, she knew that the untouchable impression Long Xuan had previously left in Su Chengyu’s heart had been greatly diminished.

"Saint Envoy, sorry to interrupt the two of you, but based on your discussion, it seems that you don’t just hope that Shinazugawa Tengen dies inside, but you truly believe that Long Xuan won’t be defeated?"

Yihe Jiugui, who had been silent until now, asked with some confusion. After observing for a while and confirming their thoughts, he still could not understand why they would make such a judgment.

"If Long Xuan were that easy to kill, he wouldn’t be Long Xuan."

Ye Qingci spoke softly, her gaze drifting toward the distance. She had never met Shinazugawa Tengen and was unclear about the strength of this Shadow-rank Ninja serving under the Dawn Harbor Emperor.

But that did not affect her belief that Long Xuan would surely win this battle.

Yihe Jiugui felt a sudden unease in his heart, his gaze shifting toward the distance with added urgency.

Noticing his actions, Ye Qingci said softly, "If you care so much about what’s happening over there, why not project that scene here for a closer observation?"

Yihe Jiugui frowned and looked at Ye Qingci with alertness, "How do you know I left eyes over there?"

Ye Qingci did not hide it and directly said, "You are, after all, a Shadow-rank Ninja, claiming to be the best at gathering intelligence in Dongying. If you went over there and couldn’t even manage that much, Dongying must be weaker than I thought."

Su Chengyu listened to their conversation, puzzled, not quite following their meaning, when Yihe Jiugui no longer pretended, and with a wave of his hand.

A puff of grey smoke rose from the rock wall, and within the smoke, a blurred scene from that place appeared.

Only now did Su Chengyu realize what was happening and asked, "Is this the Mirage Technique?"

Ye Qingci nodded, "It is a ninjutsu unique to the Dongying Ninja lineage, quite similar in effect to the Mirage Technique, but even more covert. Coupled with the fierce battle already underway, that’s why the hidden eyes went undetected."

"Isn’t that even more powerful than surveillance?"

Ordinary surveillance can’t capture a Cultivator’s methods, let alone function normally under their watch, should the Cultivator wish to interfere with electronic operations.

Yet, the technique of the Yihe Jiugui could be deployed right under the noses of three Hollowed Void Level powerhouses, which speaks volumes about its efficacy.

"The concealment is indeed quite good, but even for this Shadow-rank Ninja, using the eye technique requires staying within a certain distance, doesn’t it?"

Yihe Jiugui felt a chill in his heart as Ye Qingci bluntly exposed the greatest flaw of his ninjutsu. If it had not been for the realization that Ye Qingci’s strength had not reached the Peak of the Void, he would have been greatly worried that Ye Qingci was one of the competitors vying for his Immortal fate.

"There’s no need for idle talk, you had me deploy it because you want to see the situation over there, right?"

Ye Qingci did not speak but turned to look at Su Chengyu.

She had Yihe Jiugui use his ninjutsu primarily for Su Chengyu’s benefit.

Su Chengyu understood Ye Qingci’s intention immediately. Ye Qingci wanted him to discern the state of affairs inside and find a way to open the Dragon Cave.

Seeing that Su Chengyu had already started searching for a way to unlock the Small Opening, Ye Qingci too cast her gaze onto the battle scene.

From her perspective, she also wanted to see the true strength of Long Xuan in action.

"Old man, are you sure this guy has been in the Hollow Vacuum for only a year?"

The sixth-grade Demon Monarch, currently in quite a sorry state, addressed Shinazugawa Tengen, feeling as if he had walked the line between life and death more than once in the encounter. Had Shinazugawa Tengen not been at his side, he had no doubt he would already be a corpse.

He found it unbelievable that Long Xuan had only been in the Hollow Vacuum for less than a year.

Shinazugawa Tengen, however, seemed to be in much better shape with few injuries. In his view, had he not held back, Long Xuan would already be dead.

"Why would I lie to you? This fellow was actively cultivating as a late stage Nascent Soul just a year ago."

"To advance from the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the Peak of the Void in one year! Are you kidding me?"

The sixth-grade Demon Monarch spoke agitatedly, clearly disbelieving Shinazugawa Tengen’s explanation.

Yet facing the Demon Monarch’s heated words, Shinazugawa Tengen was unconcerned, "Even if your lord were here, I’d say the same. The truth is, you’ve been secluded in Mount Fuji for too long, unaware of the remarkable talents that have emerged in the world. There are numerous distinguished figures, and the one before us, Long Xuan, certainly ranks as one of the foremost. Am I right, Mr. Long Xuan?"

"I am not distinguished."

Long Xuan replied coldly to Shinazugawa Tengen, yet despite a slight shift in his aura just before, he did not immediately make a move, as if contemplating something.

Shinazugawa Tengen, somewhat puzzled by Long Xuan’s behavior, said, "Mr. Long Xuan, do you intend to leave like this? The Great Formation of Mount Fuji has been laid out; even an Immortal would need quite some time to break through. I advise you to stop contemplating and surrender without a fight; I can grant you a swift end."

"I have an idea."

As if he hadn’t heard Shinazugawa Tengen at all, Long Xuan, who had come to a decision, suddenly spoke up and refocused his attention on Shinazugawa Tengen.

"This manner of death suits you well."
