Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Don’t Deceive Yourself Too

Su Chengyu turned his head to glance at Ye Qingci, whose gaze had been fixed on the silent Demon Clan member behind Kuronagi since they had arrived here.

Noticing Su Chengyu’s look, Ye Qingci nodded, "Go ahead, I’ll back you up, but still, be careful."

Su Chengyu was slightly surprised, then immediately understood what Ye Qingci meant.

Although Kuronagi was now a Ninth-rank Demon Emperor, such strength was almost impossible to pose a threat to Su Chengyu, and Ye Qingci would surely know this.

The advice clearly wasn’t for Su Chengyu to be cautious of Kuronagi, but of the Demon Clan elder behind him.

Su Chengyu naturally noticed the elder’s presence as well, but apart from discerning that he was a Demon Monarch, there were no more clues.

Whether it was the earlier interception of Yu Yanshu or the tightly covered Demon Clan member who had arrived, neither had revealed the slightest hint of their own aura.

"Hmm."

Su Chengyu nodded, then with one step, flew down and landed beside Yu Yanshu, who in turn retreated behind Ye Qingci.

Though she also wanted to help Su Chengyu, she was well aware that her strength was far from sufficient to do anything significant here.

"Sister Ye, I’m sorry..."

"Is this how you normally communicate with Su Cheng?"

Yu Yanshu was startled but nodded, "I underestimated the risks of this mission; perhaps I should not have come from the start."

"But he still let you come, so such words are meaningless. If you feel that your strength is lacking, then open your eyes wide, enhance your abilities, do the best in what you can, and strive to achieve what seems impossible, rather than apologizing."

Yu Yanshu stood there stunned, then finally took a deep breath and lifted her head, "I understand, Sister Ye."

Ye Qingci stopped at that, saying no more on the matter.

Although Yu Yanshu held a special identity, she was ultimately a student of Su Chengyu, and Ye Qingci cared but did not want to instruct her too rigidly.

Ye Qingci just didn’t understand why Yu Yanshu, clearly a student of Su Chengyu, lacked so much confidence in herself.

This was the complete opposite of Su Chengyu, who, despite knowing his limits, always liked to force his way into situations.

Turning her head to give Yu Yanshu a brief glance, observing her tense expression as she watched Su Chengyu closely, Ye Qingci suddenly had some understanding.

Perhaps, this was just another way of cherishing something.

Each has their own path, and there are countless ways in Daoism.

Within the serene high platform, something within Ye Qingci seemed to unlock, leaving her momentarily taken aback.

However, this momentary enlightenment eluded her when she tried to grasp its source again.

But Ye Qingci soon let it go, turning her attention back to Su Chengyu.

Although Su Chengyu’s strength was still far from matching hers, she had indeed learned something from him during their trip to Dongying.

What is not yours cannot be sought; what is yours will never escape.

"Sister Ye, Master won’t be in any trouble, right?"

Yu Yanshu asked with some worry.

Ye Qingci glanced at her and said, "Why would you say that? Although that Ninth-rank Demon Emperor has a higher Realm than your master, he is after all someone who has slain a Demon Monarch."

Yu Yanshu was stunned; she had been sent into the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map early in the battle and was unaware that Su Chengyu had indeed defeated the Ping Shan Demon Monarch with his own strength.

Before Ye Qingci spoke up, Yu Yanshu had always thought it was Ye Qingci who intervened and saved Su Chengyu.

Ye Qingci looked at Yu Yanshu and gave a slight smile, "Don’t underestimate your master. In some ways, he truly is a genius. The only difference between him and people like me and Long Xuan is that he was recognized by the world much later."

Listening to Ye Qingci’s words, Yu Yanshu felt slightly more settled inside. At that moment, Ye Qingci suddenly said, "Of course, you are too."

"Me?"

Yu Yanshu laughed, shook her head, and was about to speak, when Ye Qingci spoke first.

"A sect needs three types of disciples to grow stronger. The first type lives a long life and is responsible for passing on the teachings. The second type is shrewd, able to ensure the sect’s growth and development. The third type boasts extraordinary talent and can awe the masses, making your sect’s name known throughout the world with their own strength alone. Yan’er, which type do you think you are?"

Yu Yanshu fell silent.

The first type? Obviously, it was irrelevant to her.

Yu Yanshu knew she had tribulations in her fate, each Heavenly Tribulation being more perilous than the last, almost severing her lifeline directly.

As for the second type, Yu Yanshu didn’t think she was capable of that either.

After becoming a disciple of Su Chengyu, Yu Yanshu was alright interacting with normal people. But when it came to dealing with those worldly matters in a calculative manner, she just couldn’t do it.

Therefore, the answer seemed quite obvious.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Yanshu clenched her fists and looked towards Su Chengyu, who was already clashing with Kuronagi, and said, "I won’t let Master down."

Ye Qingci nodded and also turned her full attention to the battlefield.

Bang!

A punch shattered the black winds filled with yellow sand, and Su Chengyu charged directly in front of Kuronagi, using the power of his physical body to overpower him.

Kuronagi felt his retreat force faltering against the mountainous power of the punch.

With the physical strength from the Hollow Realm combined with Su Chengyu’s close combat techniques, Kuronagi’s methods clearly seemed inadequate in front of Su Chengyu.

While Kuronagi struggled to cope with Su Chengyu’s techniques and kept retreating, shock grew heavier in his eyes.

He looked at Su Chengyu, who had suppressed him with just martial techniques, and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren’t you a Xia Country cultivator? How can your martial skills be so powerful!"

Su Chengyu sneered and replied, "You said that I deceived you, right? Have you ever thought that from the beginning, you were unworthy of cooperating with my true identity?"

"Impossible!"

Kuronagi roared, and a massive black bear, dozens of feet tall, appeared behind him.

As he and the spirit merged into one and pushed forward with a powerful strike, he finally managed to push Su Chengyu back a few steps.

Su Chengyu steadied himself and looked at Kuronagi, who was prepared to fight to the death, and said, "Why bother with this? Our relationship has always been one of cooperation. I got what I wanted, and you reaped the benefits, didn’t you?"

"Shut up! If I had known you were from the master’s homeland, how could I have cooperated with you? You despicable Xia Citizen!"

Kuronagi, emotionally agitated, clearly wasn’t swayed by Su Chengyu’s words.

Su Chengyu only laughed coldly in response, "Don’t talk nonsense. Even if I had revealed my identity to you, with the promise of great rewards, can you honestly say you wouldn’t have betrayed the He Mao Clan? Kuronagi, it’s one thing to try to deceive me, but don’t deceive yourself."

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all!"

Kuronagi retorted in agitation, but his voice betrayed a hint of wavering.

"Deep down, you’ve never been loyal to the He Mao Family. From the beginning to the end, what you’ve feared is only He Mao Ichiro’s Martial God cultivation. Honor and morality? No matter how well you mimic a human, do you really possess such things in your heart?"
