Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: A Sword that Opens Mountains

Ye Qingci, who had been rooted to the spot, turned to look at the black sphere in his hand, then at Ye Qingci again, and finally towards Abe no Seimei, who was looking back with a smile that was not quite a smile.

What’s going on?

How had nothing happened, yet he had stumbled upon such a treasure for free?

Oh, that’s not right, Yamata no Orochi is already dead; it’s not that nothing happened, it’s just that they arrived half a step too late.

"Rest assured, I haven’t tampered with this thing, and he is a Demon God, so the Demon Core won’t have as great an effect on him as it would on others."

It was only after hearing Ye Qingci’s transmitted words that Su Chengyu felt somewhat relieved. He silently tucked the black sphere into his storage space within the Small Opening, and then Su Chengyu’s gaze returned to Ye Qingci and Abe no Seimei.

For some reason, he always felt there was something odd about the atmosphere between the two of them.

"Su Chengyu, since you’ve accepted it, our accounts are settled."

It was only after Su Chengyu took the Demon Core that Abe no Seimei finally spoke up.

Ye Qingci frowned and immediately said, "I won’t let you lay a finger on him."

"Me, lay a finger on him?"

Abe no Seimei was taken aback, and then smiled: "Saint Envoy Ye, you must have misunderstood something. I just don’t want to have any more entanglements with these Su-named folks. I just wanted to settle the account clearly. Why would I harm them? I’m not a Xia Citizen."

His words hit the nail on the head, revealing Su Chengyu’s identity and his treatment within Xia Country. Ye Qingci didn’t know how the person before her had come to notice these things, but instinctively, this put Ye Qingci on alert.

Abe no Seimei looked at this scene and couldn’t help but laugh again: "No need to be tense, I’m not a blabbermouth, and besides, if I told Xia Country about these things, would Xia Citizens believe me?"

Ye Qingci did not deny it; she knew full well that even if the other party actively spread Su Chengyu’s identity to Xia Country, they still would not take it seriously.

The identity of this person in front of her was too special. The current situation in Dongying, where Human Clan and Demon Clan stand united, can be said to be curated single-handedly by the person before her.

A half-demon, living among humans as a member of the Human Clan, while in the capacity of a Demon God, forging connections with various Demon Gods.

It could be said that without him, Dongying would have perished utterly during the great war a hundred years ago.

And to the words of such a person, Ye Qingci was the same, she wouldn’t believe a single word he said.

Glancing at the corpse of Yamata no Orochi nearby, Ye Qingci’s eyes shifted slightly as she said, "Since you don’t plan to take action, we will take our leave."

Ye Qingci had come for Yamata no Orochi; although their purposes were different, they both did not want to miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to kill Yamata no Orochi. Now that Yamata no Orochi was dead, there was no longer any need for her to stay here.

Moreover, facing Abe, Ye Qingci did not have absolute confidence in victory, especially with Su Chengyu by her side.

She didn’t want to get Su Chengyu involved in a conflict that was far beyond what he could handle.

"Hold on."

Abe no Seimei suddenly spoke, then his gaze fixed on Ye Qingci: "I did say I wouldn’t lay hands on him, but when did I say you could leave?"

Ye Qingci narrowed her eyes at Abe no Seimei and said in a soft voice, "Was the bit of Qi you deliberately released earlier meant to lure me here?"

Abe no Seimei smiled and said, "Smart, worthy of being the girl who achieved Earth Immortal status ahead of that Long Xuan. However, precisely because of that, I cannot let you return to Xia Country."

Upon hearing these words, Su Chengyu subconsciously clenched his fist and then found the courage to speak: "White Fox senior, Ye..."

Bang!

A burst of Sword Qi exploded in front of Su Chengyu, and the stream of Demon Qi that had suddenly launched towards Su Chengyu was instantly repelled by the Sky-splitting Sword.

Su Chengyu quickly retreated several steps. Before the Sky-splitting Sword appeared, he hadn’t even noticed the approach of the Demon Qi.

"Abe no Seimei, you promised you wouldn’t lay a hand on him!"

"One thing at a time, talking nonsense comes with a price."

Abe no Seimei’s gaze turned towards Su Chengyu, "Do you think you have the right to speak in this place?"

Swallowing hard, Su Chengyu was finally fully aware of who the person before him really was.

The only god-ranked Onmyoji in Dongying, a hybrid of Human and Demon Clans, the most crucial link between the Dongying Royal Family and the Demon Clan.

Indeed, what right did he have to plead in front of such a person?

Ye Qingci stood in front of Su Chengyu, shielding him from Abe no Seimei, squinting, he said, "So your target is me?"

Abe no Seimei nodded, "Long Xuan, I can let him return to Xia Country, to be honest although this guy has some talent, I don’t think he can compare to Su Linyuan, no... not even to Su Zhedian. But you are different, for the future of Dongying, you must die here..."

Ye Qingci blinked and said softly, "While I’m flattered that you say so, I still want to say that underestimating Long Xuan will lead to regret."

"Oh? Really? I would like to see how someone who only knows about the utmost reason of Heavenly Dao, who believes in The Way of Nature, is going to make me regret."

Ye Qingci chuckled lightly, non-committal; the old Long Xuan might have been like that, but Ye Qingci could feel that Long Xuan had changed upon departure, no longer fixated solely on the fate dictated by the Heavenly Dao.

However, it was enough to touch upon such matters and let them be; Ye Qingci didn’t believe that making Abe no Seimei take Long Xuan more seriously would lead to sparing him.

"What if I refuse to fight?"

"He dies."

The battle between Immortals was hard to separate into life and death, largely because they were both Earth Immortals. If one wished to flee, the other would hardly be able to stop them.

Naturally, Abe no Seimei could persist in pursuit, but how far could he chase? How long could he keep up?

Once Ye Qingci stepped into the territory of Xia Country, and Abe no Seimei still insisted on the pursuit, it would be a path to his own destruction.

Abe no Seimei’s recent move against Su Chengyu was not truly aimed at Su Chengyu but was a threat intended to force Ye Qingci into combat with him.

"It seems I don’t have much of a choice."

Ye Qingci said softly as the Sky-splitting Sword found its way back to her hand.

Abe no Seimei unfolded the Ying Yang Fan and swayed it lightly, then laughed, "You can rest assured about one thing, after you die I won’t harm him, even if he wants to avenge you with his life, I will send him back to Xia Country."

Ye Qingci chuckled coldly, "Should I be thanking you then?"

"You’re welcome."

With narrowed eyes, sword in hand, Ye Qingci leapt towards Abe no Seimei in a direct assault.

As the formidable Ye Qingci charged towards him, Abe no Seimei smiled subtly, waving the Ying Yang Fan in his hand. The ground beneath cracked open as the lava fissures came to life, pulling up a curtain separating the entire space in an instant, obscuring Ye Qingci’s vision.

On Ye Qingci’s side, not only was the sight of Abe no Seimei gone, but the sensation of his presence had also vanished in an instant, as if he had disappeared from the world itself.

"Since you’ve divided this space in half, I’ll just have to split the mountain!"

Ye Qingci spoke coldly, the amassed Sword Momentum now shifting target, pointed directly at Mount Fuji itself, where Abe no Seimei had vanished!

"One Leaf Bodhi!"

With one sword strike, Ye Qingci’s sword light soared into the sky, piercing through the peak from where the lava lay.

Above the mouth of Mount Fuji, a towering sword light burst forth, illuminating the entire night sky of Dongying in an instant!
