Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: Life and Death Arena

Su Chengyu was unaware of the exact reason why Red Flame wished for his death, but the moment he realized that even when dealing with Lin Ran, Red Flame could have chosen to stand by and watch, longing to see him die at the hands of the Demonic Path, he understood that Red Flame absolutely must not be spared.

Such a man, alive, was always a ticking time bomb to him.

If he truly wished to become a part of the Demon Slayer Department, Red Flame would definitely become a significant obstacle on his path forward.

Thus, even though he knew that killing Red Flame at this time would bring considerable trouble, Su Chengyu didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

After all, once he left this place, it would be even more difficult for Su Chengyu to find a reason to make a move against Red Flame.

However, just as Su Chengyu was about to make his move, a figure suddenly appeared between the two, speaking coldly, "Gentlemen, the conflict with the Demonic Path has just ended, is it really appropriate to start infighting now?"

"Infighting? This guy isn’t one of us. Or are you saying that he’s part of your group? Zhuang Yihan."

Zhuang Yihan, whose name was directly called out by Red Flame, furrowed his brows slightly but still suppressed his anger and said, "Red Flame Holy Envoy, no matter what, Su Chengyu has also made great contributions this time. Even if what he said just now was somewhat inappropriate, it’s perhaps ill-suited for you to engage him in combat, isn’t it?"

"It’s him who wants to make a move."

Red Flame said coldly.

Su Chengyu also sneered, "It was you who wanted me dead first."

Upon hearing this, Red Flame’s pupils dilated instantly, "Su Chengyu! You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense!"

"Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, everyone here has seen it with their own eyes, and you know it in your heart! Or are you saying that as a Demon Slayer Saint, when facing the Demonic Path, you only have the meager abilities you showed earlier?"

"Su Chengyu, do you even know the rules?"

Red Flame looked somewhat ugly; he never expected Su Chengyu to dare bring this matter up so openly.

"Facing an external enemy, you can betray your comrade? Dragon Soul Guard Sir, is this the rule of the Capital City?"

"Certainly not," Zhuang Yihan said coldly.

"Slander! Pure slander!"

Red Flame burst out, unwilling to accept the accusation leveled against him by Su Chengyu.

"Whether it’s slander or not, we both know very well."

Su Chengyu said coldly, without any intention of backing down.

Seeing Su Chengyu being so aggressively confrontational, Red Flame’s murderous intent deepened, "Zhuang Yihan, you saw it, he is the one being aggressive. Since he insists on distorting the truth, don’t blame me for taking firm action."

Zhuang Yihan’s brows furrowed. He had stepped in, partly with the intention of helping Su Chengyu out of the predicament, as carelessly killing a Red Flame Holy Envoy would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble, even if justified. But at this moment, Zhuang Yihan realized that Su Chengyu had no intention of leaving any way out for himself.

Is this the kind of man he is?

Zhuang Yihan was somewhat surprised and didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Right then, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall, "Since this matter can’t be clearly explained, why not settle it with a life-and-death duel?"

This unexpected voice made Zhuang Yihan instinctively turn his head, and everyone in the room also looked towards the direction of the entrance at that moment.

A group of people dressed in Demon Slayer Department uniforms entered the Lin Family’s Residence. Many restrained the remaining offenders of the Lin family, and three who were in charge and marched towards the center of the council were the ones speaking.

The one speaking was the stern-looking man among the three.

Lone Star Yang Qianyan.

"Big brother? Why did you come?"

Yang Junmo was the first to respond, speaking with surprise.

Lone Star Yang Qianyan coldly glanced at Yang Junmo, "You can come, and I can’t?"

Yang Junmo knew his elder brother harbored some resentment against him and didn’t dare to continue speaking. He approached Su Chengyu and whispered, "This is my elder brother Yang Qianyan, the Lone Star among the Twelve Holy Emissaries. That one is Qian Jun, Mo Ningchen, one of the Twelve Holy Emissaries. And another one is..."

"I know, the Cold Moon Envoy, Ye Qingci."

Su Chengyu hadn’t expected to see Ye Qingci at the Demon-Hunting Assembly, especially since he had just returned from Dongying and she, having recently broken through to Hollow Vacuum, really shouldn’t be showing her face.

However, now that the Lin Family had been exposed to the Demonic Path, Ye Qingci’s appearance here wasn’t surprising anymore.

Su Chengyu nodded at the three and said, "I have seen the three Saint Envoys."

Ye Qingci’s face was expressionless, and she didn’t even nod, clearly avoiding suspicion, while Qian Jun Mo Ningchen gave Su Chengyu an extra glance, evidently curious about this person who had gained a modest reputation within the Demon Slayer Department recently.

Yang Qianyan made no effort to disguise his interest in Su Chengyu and said, "Su Chengyu, do you have any objections to a life-and-death fight?"

"Of course, I have no objections; I’m just worried..."

"Rest assured, once the life-and-death fight agreement is signed, whoever can stand to the end in the arena, no one else can interfere, not even The Honored One. Since you say Red Flame wants to put you to death, yet you cannot produce the necessary evidence, I think this is the only way to resolve it."

Su Chengyu remained silent, not saying a word. Although he indeed wanted to personally put Red Flame to death, he genuinely didn’t have any evidence.

After all, Red Flame hadn’t kicked him when he was down at that time, having merely done nothing at all, and his inaction made it impossible for Su Chengyu to prove that Red Flame earnestly wished for him to die at Lin Ran’s hand.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chengyu said, "I have no objections, but as for the Demon Slayer Department..."

Yang Qianyan understood Su Chengyu’s meaning and softly said, "I will explain this to the Sect Master; you can be at ease. What about you, Red Flame?"

"Of course, I can. Actually, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome; either way, I will make sure he dies at my hand."

"Idiot."

Ye Qingci, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, causing Red Flame to frown.

But upon looking at this woman who had overtaken him without him realizing it, Red Flame felt angry but dared not voice it.

It seemed only then did Yang Qianyan remember Ye Qingci, and turned to ask, "Cold Moon Envoy, do you have any objections to this matter?"

"No objections."

Ye Qingci spoke lightly, then glanced at Su Chengyu.

Although it was but a casual look, Su Chengyu still sensed the special meaning in her gaze.

Su Chengyu’s brow furrowed. Did Aunt Ye not want him to agree to it?

His mind racing, Su Chengyu, who had caught on to Ye Qingci’s hint, did not understand why she would caution him so, as he could find no trap in it whatsoever.

After all, if it were just a life-and-death battle, Red Flame didn’t seem to stand a chance against him.

While Su Chengyu was internally puzzled, another voice echoed from within the Lin Family’s Residence.

"If it is to be a life-and-death battle, then may I ask if my Long family could also take part?"

In an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man’s voice rose, the speaker being one of the senior stewards of the Long family.

"Mr. Su, you haven’t forgotten the unsettled account between you and our Long family, have you?" the old steward’s voice barely fell when Su Pingping also stood up, "If it’s going to be that exciting, then count me in as well. I have an accusation against Su Chengyu, lacking evidence just the same, this way of resolving things seems pretty good."

Watching these people emerge one after another like a disturbed hornet’s nest, Su Chengyu finally realized why Ye Qingci had cautioned him.

However, after a brief contemplation, Su Chengyu took a deep breath, looked around, and spoke.

"In that case, if there’s anyone else who wants to settle accounts with me, Su Chengyu, come forward. Today, no matter how many come, I, Su Chengyu, will meet them all!"
