Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Demon Slayer Department Head

Su Pingping’s protective strike came from the hands of this old Su Clan matron, and upon seeing that strike, Ye Qingci had already thoroughly determined the other party’s identity.

The others who heard what Ye Qingci had said all looked at the old matron in surprise, and among them, there were some who had guessed that this old Su Clan matron had changed her appearance and aura, but they had not expected the person accompanying Su Pingping to the Capital City to actually be the Su Clan’s Su Zi, who had recently topped the list of beauties under heaven.

"Second on the list of beauties, truly living up to the reputation, an Earth Immortal? The Ye Family really has virtue in their ancestors."

The old matron spoke softly, her voice undisguisedly filled with envy.

Su Zi was the most promising among the younger generation, but the path of cultivation she followed dictated that her progress in dual cultivation of magic and martial arts could hardly be fast. Being able to reach the Hollow Void Eighth Level in less than a century was already an outstanding existence within the Su Clan.

For Ye Qingci, who had reached the level of an Earth Immortal in just a few decades of cultivation, even she could hardly avoid feeling envious.

Although Ye Qingci did not like being linked with the Ye Family, after all, this was the Demon Slayer Department, this was the Capital City.

Ye Qingci did not find it convenient to say too much and looked at Su Zi coldly and said, "You have not yet answered my question."

Su Zi did not speak immediately and turned her head to look towards the stage.

The Wasteland Sky Halberd that descended from the sky, carrying the intent of splitting heaven, pierced through the strike left by Su Zi with unstoppable force. The power of the Immortal Artifact was displayed to the fullest in Su Chengyu’s hands.

Now that Su Chengyu had mastered the second stance of the Wasteland Sky Halberd, using the Desolate Sky Battle Ground had already unleashed more than eighty percent of the strike’s power.

No one doubted that even a true Hollow Void would have to go all out against this strike from the Immortal Artifact.

"I did not break the rules, the protective magic artifact was indeed crafted by me yesterday, but now it can be considered Su Pingping’s property."

"I know."

Ye Qingci spoke indifferently, clearly understanding the game the other party was playing.

Elixirs, magic artifacts, puppets... any items used by one’s own power before a life-and-death battle can be counted as a part of the combatant’s own strength.

But this rule is not limitless, after all, for a Land Immortal, if they wished to do something like this, it would directly break the balance of a life-and-death battle.

Let alone a conflict of Nascent Souls, even if it’s a Hollow Void level, once the power of a Land Immortal intervenes, the nature of the life-and-death battle completely changes.

So normally, Land Immortals would not directly help participants in a life-and-death battle, even if there was assistance it would be weakened to a certain extent.

Although Su Zi was not a Land Immortal, she understood that being too ostentatious would easily draw discontent from the people of the Capital City, so the strike she gave to Su Pingping was also toned down quite a bit. Of course, in Su Zi’s view, this level of power, combined with Su Pingping’s schemes, was enough for Su Chengyu to die ten thousand times over.

But as for the outcome...

Bang!

The war ax pierced through the body, and Su Pingping’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Su Chengyu in front of her.

Until the end, she still didn’t understand how Su Chengyu managed to break through the Great Peng formation, let alone how he managed to breach the protective strike taught to her by her senior, Su Zi.

However, these doubts would no longer be answered. As her consciousness began to dissipate, Su Pingping’s vision started to narrow, her sight gradually darkening, and lacking any possibility of survival with her Nascent Soul directly pierced by the war axe.

The war ax swept across.

Su Pingping’s body, like rotten flesh, was flung into the corner of the Martial Arts Field. Su Chengyu turned his head to look at Su Zi, who still disguised her true appearance, his eyes not hiding the disgust within.

He had guessed that Su Pingping had a backup plan, but indeed hadn’t expected that this backup would turn out to be a substantial strike left behind by a late-stage Hollow Void powerhouse.

If it hadn’t been for the protection of the True Dragon Armor and the Heaven-Mending Stone, even if Su Chengyu had overcome Su Pingping, I myself would have been severely injured.

Looking at Su Chengyu with a smile, Su Zi said, "Su Chengyu, I haven’t overstepped my bounds, have I? Otherwise, the Cold Moon Envoy would have slapped my face long ago, right?"

Su Chengyu clenched his fists in silence, choosing not to retort.

The other party had handled the affair flawlessly. Even if Su Chengyu felt discontented, he had no grounds to take issue with Su Zi.

The Su Clan, more despicable than I had thought.

"You did overstep."

Ye Qingci’s sudden words caused both Yang Qianyan and Xu Zijing to frown, for in their view, while Su Zi’s methods might be despicable, they certainly didn’t break the rules.

Su Zi turned to look at Ye Qingci and asked, "What now? Is the Cold Moon Envoy planning to bully others with her power?"

"I think you overstepped. Do you have a problem with that? If you really think it’s inappropriate, we can settle it with a duel to the death."

Su Zi’s brow furrowed as she faced the domineering Ye Qingci and said in an instant, "Ye Qingci! Don’t go too far! Just because you’re an Earth Immortal, don’t think I’m afraid of you! If you want to kill, then kill. If it comes to that, the Su Clan will completely break with your Demon Slayer Department, something our clan has never feared in a thousand years!"

"I can suppress my power... but never mind, even if I did, you wouldn’t stand a chance."

Ye Qingci’s casual words almost made Su Zi spit out blood in anger. Although she was of the Hollow Void Eighth Level, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? However, before Su Zi could speak, Ye Qingci’s Sky-splitting Sword was already in her hand, pointing at Su Zi.

"Take one strike from me, and this matter will be put to rest."

Su Zi looked at Ye Qingci in confusion and asked, "Just one strike?"

"Yes, and I won’t use any Earth Immortal Techniques. Consider it a reciprocal courtesy for the protection you gave Su Pingping."

"And what if I refuse?"

Though it was only one strike, Su Zi had to consider the risk with Ye Qingci being so confident.

"First, I’ll kill you, then I’ll deal with the Su Clan."

The chilling words carried a strong resolve. Yang Qianyan was about to speak out, but was stopped by Xu Zijing at her side.

Yang Qianyan looked at Xu Zijing with confusion, but Xu Zijing only shook her head slightly, signaling her to observe silently for now.

After all, the Su Clan was one of the Ancient Clans. If a direct conflict broke out between the Demon Slayer Department and the Su Clan, the relationship between the entire Xia Country and the Ancient Clans would become extremely delicate.

In the middle of a tumultuous period of resurgence for the Demonic Path, Yang Qianyan truly did not understand why Ye Qingci insisted on provoking the Ancient Clans.

As Yang Qianyan hesitated whether to intervene, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall, silencing everyone.

"The Su Clan indeed owes an explanation. One strike is quite reasonable."

The moment the voice sounded, all of the Holy Emissaries besides Ye Qingci bowed in the direction of the hall.

At the Martial Arts Field, Su Chengyu also froze on the spot, his heartbeat unconsciously accelerating.

There was no doubt which person in the Demon Slayer Department could command such respect from the Twelve Holy Emissaries!

The Head of the Demon Slayer Department, Yang Chengyin.
