Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Certain Death

The answer to this question still remained unanswered. In fact, Su Chengyu dared not directly bring this up for discussion with Zhuang Yihan.

After all, what kind of person Ye Qingci would fall in love with was something Su Chengyu didn’t know, but he knew that person certainly couldn’t be Zhuang Yihan.

As for Zhuang Yihan’s feelings for Ye Qingci, they clearly ran deep, and discussing it would only hurt this guy’s heart.

Unable to sleep all night, Su Chengyu chatted idly with Zhuang Yihan about all sorts of significant and trivial matters in the Capital City.

The six bottles of wine Zhuang Yihan brought were quickly emptied, and in the end, it was Su Chengyu who brought out his private stash, and the two talked until dawn.

"Time passes so quickly."

Watching the dawn break, Zhuang Yihan stretched lazily.

A new day had finally arrived, and he had to continue facing his tomorrow.

"Brother, listen to my advice, deep love does not last long."

Zhuang Yihan was taken aback, then he chuckled lightly, "Thank you, but let me try again at least."

He had once stepped aside due to not being as talented as people like Yang Qianyan, but after meeting Su Chengyu, he also wanted to strive for himself.

Seeing Zhuang Yihan like this, Su Chengyu finally said nothing more, patted his shoulder, and then stood up saying, "Demon Slayer Department, shall we go together?"

"Let’s go?"

The two men exchanged smiles and then set off together towards the direction of the Demon Slayer Department.

The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Department was not located in the heart of Capital City, but the distance was not too far.

It took the two of them just a quarter of an hour to reach the entrance of the Demon Slayer Department.

A thirty-foot-tall black iron gate loomed before them, a strong oppressive feeling hit as merely standing in front of the gate, made Su Chengyu feel an inexplicable aura pressing toward him.

Zhuang Yihan, who was not at the place for the first time, was more accustomed and said softly, "You’ll get used to it after a few visits. This gate has existed since the founding of the Demon Slayer Department. That plaque at the top is said to be from the hands of an Earth Immortal, although it doesn’t have any special formation mechanisms."

Su Chengyu, hearing Zhuang Yihan’s words, then looked up and saw the four characters at the very top of the gate.

Demon Slaying and Evil Subduing.

The thick brush strokes, though having gone through a century of vicissitudes, still carried a sharp vigor, and the familiar handwriting made Su Chengyu feel a strong sense of kinship.

It was his grandfather’s handwriting.

Su Chengyu took a deep breath, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Years had passed since he learned about matters related to his own origins, but this was the first time Su Chengyu had seen traces left by his grandfather in Xia Country.

Before heading to Capital City, Su Chengyu thought he had prepared himself sufficiently.

However, actually seeing these echoes of the past, Su Chengyu still couldn’t contain the unusual stirrings in his heart.

"Su Chengyu, we meet again."

Inside the gate, a gentle and amiable voice sounded, and that cultured scholar appeared once again before Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu looked at the person, put away his emotions, and said with a slight bow, "I’ve seen the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon."

Xu Zijing still wore that inscrutable smile, he nodded slightly, then said softly, "I thought you would join the Demon Slayer Department in a more peaceful manner, but this suits your style."

"My style?"

Su Chengyu frowned slightly, not understanding Xu Zijing’s meaning.

"Unheard of until a stunning debut. To be honest, I think the term ’Shocking Dragon’ really suits you."

Xu Zijing’s calm words caused the rest of the Demon Slayer Department to look at him in surprise, none had expected that Xu Zijing, one of the top powers among the Twelve Saint Envoys, would say such a thing.

It was known that the title of the Saint Envoys was hereditary, and although successors often had little connection with their predecessors, being acknowledged by the predecessor could smooth the path to becoming a formal Saint Envoy considerably.

What did Xu Zijing mean by that? Could it be that the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon thought highly of Su Chengyu?

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly responded, "The words of Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon are indeed shocking as well."

"Don’t misunderstand, I am not so easily retired. If you want to inherit my position, you will have to wait much longer. As for Red Flame..."

"I don’t like the title ’Red Flame’."

Su Chengyu spoke bluntly, interrupting Xu Zijing from continuing.

The title of a Saint Envoy was hereditary and aside from retreating behind the scenes normally, if a Saint Envoy died unexpectedly, a Substitute Holy Envoy would inherit the predecessor’s title.

Su Chengyu, who already had a chance to enter the Demon Slayer Department and who fought a life-and-death battle with Red Flame, naturally made some think he was targeting the position of the Red Flame Holy Envoy from the start.

"Is that so? Although you don’t use it much, I remember that your fire spell is quite impressive," Xu Zijing said of Su Chengyu’s Green Lotus Godfire.

Bestowed by the Earth Core Lotus as a summon for Su Chengyu, the killing power of Green Lotus Godfire was even greater than the celestial thunder invoked by the Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique.

However, Su Chengyu did not employ many fire control techniques, and more often than not, he used Green Lotus Godfire together with the Treasure Techniques of True Dragon and Divine Phoenix.

"It’s just a minor technique I happened upon; I haven’t developed it much, and it’s not worth mentioning," Su Chengyu replied.

Xu Zijing smiled, "It wouldn’t hurt to develop it; that flame is no ordinary matter."

Su Chengyu felt a chill in his heart.

He had initially determined the identities of Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Yu Shuang because of Heavenly Qi-breaking Divine Wind and Divine High Sky Thunder.

With Xu Zijing deliberately mentioning his Green Lotus Godfire, it was hard for Su Chengyu not to suspect that this man might have noticed something, and to doubt whether Xu Zijing was that mysterious Number Two!

Since Number One could be Long Xuan, then Number Two being this Xu Zijing, whose power had reached Hollow Vacuum, was also a distinct possibility.

Just as Su Chengyu internally debated whether to probe Xu Zijing, another voice sounded from the side.

"Talking about this now, isn’t it a bit too early?"

Yang Qianyan’s cold voice rang out, emerging from within the Demon Slayer Department.

Behind him, moreover, followed no fewer than six people.

Among them were Twelve Holy Emissaries, Red Flame, and Qian Jun, and the identity of the other four also became apparent.

With Xu Zijing being the first to arrive, the count of people from among the Twelve Saint Envoys of the Demon Slayer Department had already surpassed half!

"Su Chengyu has seen each of the Holy Envoys," Su Chengyu said courteously, yet he only gave a peer-equivalent clasped-hand salute.

Some among the Saint Envoys invariably showed disapproval, but Su Chengyu did not mind, knowing that for those within the Demon Slayer Department who did not welcome him, no amount of courtesy would stop them from being hostile.

After all, among Su Chengyu’s opponents today was Red Flame, who was from the Twelve Saint Envoys.

"Su Chengyu, are you prepared to die?" the now fully recovered Red Flame stepped forwards and said coldly to Su Chengyu, not hiding his intense killing intent in the least toward Su Chengyu.

During today’s battle to the death, Red Flame dared not speak for others, but he knew that between him and Su Chengyu, one must die!
