Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: The Yang Brothers

Accompanying the unfolding chess game, Su Chengyu, who had entered the mystic realm, slowly opened his eyes after an unknown period.

The pavilion remained, but the figure of Su Linyuan had already disappeared.

Su Chengyu looked at the chessboard before him, now with a clear outcome, and remained silent. Although he had been engulfed in the mystic state halfway through the game,

it was precisely this clarity that let him feel the weight each chess piece held. Su Chengyu played chess, while Su Linyuan played out his life.

"Grandfather..."

Su Chengyu began softly, reaching out to touch the chessboard one last time.

However, as if sensing Su Chengyu’s intent, the chessboard suddenly turned to dust and completely dissipated into the air as he reached out.

Su Chengyu’s outstretched hand paused in midair, utterly stunned.

Gone.

The last mark left by Su Linyuan in this world.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu composed himself and lifted his head to survey the Cave Heaven where Su Linyuan had last lingered.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I won’t disappoint you."

The breeze continued as before, but Su Chengyu’s promise received no response from anyone.

Su Chengyu smiled, said nothing more, and turned to begin his descent from the mountain.

Though his grandfather was no longer there, one day he would ensure the memory of his grandfather lived in the hearts of all in Xia Country.

"Master?"

"Teacher?"

Stepping out of the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, Yu Yanshu and Bai Huang immediately approached to inquire about Su Chengyu’s condition.

Su Chengyu nodded without offering any explanation.

Taking out the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, this King-grade Divine Artifact inherited from Mount Qingcheng began to show cracks. And the moment Su Chengyu took it out, the sound of shattering echoed, and the divine aura within the King-grade Divine Artifact completely faded away.

After bearing Su Linyuan’s final gift, this King-grade Divine Artifact had finally reached its limit and was completely destroyed.

Bai Huang stood stock-still in shock, finally understanding why Yu Yanshu had taken him out of the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map.

"I hope master doesn’t blame me for this."

With a wry smile, Su Chengyu collected what was now a mundane Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map.

Although it was no longer a King-grade Divine Artifact, since it was the treasure of Mount Qingcheng, it still needed to be returned to Qingcheng.

"Teacher, what was the commotion inside that Cave Heaven just now?"

"It was my grandfather."

"Senior Su?"

Bai Huang’s voice was filled with astonishment. For the younger generation of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, Su Linyuan and the Green Hillock Empress were akin to a legendary Immortal couple.

Su Chengyu nodded: "That was grandfather’s last Divine Sense, and it’s no longer here."

At these words, Bai Huang’s expression turned slightly melancholic. Su Chengyu, seeing what was on his mind, spoke softly, "You needn’t feel this way. Even if grandfather were here, there wouldn’t be much he could do for Qingqiu."

Bai Huang looked up, his eyes firm as he said, "I understand, reviving Qiuqiu is up to me!"

Su Chengyu, satisfied with Bai Huang’s resolve, nodded. Bai Huang indeed needed no worry in terms of determination, what he needed most now was to adopt the right mindset.

Otherwise, the next Heart Demon Tribulation would be the time when Bai Huang perished both in body and Dao.

"Is the path of demons also a Dao?"

Bai Huang’s sudden question caught Su Chengyu off guard. He pondered for a long time without answering, standing silently by the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Bai Huang looked at Su Chengyu’s strange expression and thought he might have said something wrong. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Yanshu grabbed him and shook her head.

"Senior sister, what’s going on with teacher?"

Yu Yanshu glanced at Su Chengyu, made sure that Su Chengyu’s entire mind was immersed in pondering the question, and then continued, "You asked a big question, and master must be seriously considering it."

Bai Huang scratched his head, "Actually, I just asked casually..."

Yu Yanshu smiled, "The asker may be thoughtless, but the listener takes it seriously. Besides, master isn’t just considering it to answer your question; it must also be very important to him."

It was indeed very important.

Su Chengyu had once wondered what differences lay between the current Demon Slayer Department and the one his grandfather had established.

On the surface, it was the attitude towards the Demon Clan.

Yet both tasked with slaying demons, how had his grandfather determined which demons should be slain and which could coexist with the Human Clan?

The former Su Chengyu could never find the right direction to this question, but Bai Huang’s remark had indeed shone a light on him, making him feel that if he could understand this, he might be able to find the answer.

Unfortunately, after some time, Su Chengyu still couldn’t come up with a definite answer, and shook his head helplessly, turning back to say.

"Bai Huang, I might need to ponder this question for a while longer before I can answer you."

Bai Huang nodded vigorously, "Yep, teacher, I’m not in a hurry."

With Yu Yanshu’s reminder just now, he didn’t mention that his question was just casual and simply responded as such.

Su Chengyu nodded, then glanced at the Small Opening derived from the Dragon Slayer Sword and True Dragon Armor.

Although they had both advanced to King-grade Divine Artifacts, deriving their own Small Openings, there was still a significant gap compared to the Small Opening of the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, which had been passed down for generations in Mount Qingcheng.

The scale of the Cave Heavens was incomparable.

After sorting things out simply and moving most items into the True Dragon Armor to free up sufficient space in the Cave Heaven, he then allowed the two to be placed within it.

Yu Yanshu was easier to handle, but Bai Huang had a special identity, and Su Chengyu certainly couldn’t let him move freely around the Capital City. Otherwise, once his Qiuqiu Fox Clan identity was discovered,

Not only would he face annihilation, but it would also be a major trouble for Su Chengyu.

Any merits he had just acquired in the Demon Slayer Department would be wiped away, and even his identity might be traced through clues if someone investigated.

The Demon Slayer Department...

Upon thinking of this name again, Su Chengyu looked up towards the center of power in the Capital City.

He knew that the person he was most concerned about right now was undoubtedly there.

Demon Slayer Officer, Yang Chengyin.

"Brother, what exactly is the Demon Slayer Department’s attitude towards Su Chengyu? Can’t you give me a hint?"

In the Yang Family Mansion, Yang Junmo, who had finally got a chance to see Yang Qianyan, couldn’t help but step forward to probe for information.

Yang Qianyan, who had been holed up in his study upon his return, perusing some materials, glanced at him and said coldly, "Join the Demon Slayer Department, and you’ll naturally find out."

At those words, Yang Junmo instantly deflated like a pricked balloon, losing all his spirit.

Joining the Demon Slayer Department, he might not be able to immediately rise to the rank of Saint Envoy, but becoming a white-clothed Demon Slayer Envoy should be no problem.

With his connections, he wouldn’t need to ask Yang Qianyan for such information.

But Yang Junmo was well aware that once he joined the Demon Slayer Department, there would be numerous restrictions, and even if he learned everything, he couldn’t reveal the slightest bit to Su Chengyu.

Others might dare to risk it, but he would probably be caught as soon as he leaked a hint of information.

While Yang Junmo was contemplating this, Yang Qianyan suddenly turned his head, his gaze landing heavily on Yang Junmo as he spoke with deep seriousness.

"Are you very concerned about this Su fellow?"
