Chapter 1274: Who Are You?

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Who Are You?

"What a mess, I didn’t expect even Long Dong that old geezer to show up."

Cang Xue clearly spoke with a hint of disgust, still not hiding her dissatisfaction with Su Chengyu.

Mo Ningchen turned his head and glanced at Cang Xue, saying, "Would you dare to say that in front of the Director-General himself?"

Cang Xue gave Mo Ningchen a disdainful look, too lazy to bother with this fellow.

Everyone knew that Quanzhen Sect’s three great ’True Men’ were on very good terms, and even though Long Dong, as their junior brother, was long not listed in the Quanzhen’s records, their affection was unquestionable.

Furthermore, picking the moment Zhao Shijue clashed with Su Chengyu to strike, it went without saying for whom Long Winter True Man’s sword was unsheathed; it was just that everyone tacitly understood and said nothing.

The one who unsheathed the sword could only be from Quanzhen or the Respectful Heaven Bureau, and either way, it would ultimately point to the recluse Director-General of Respectful Heaven Bureau deep in the palace.

"I wonder who the Long family will send to take action."

Miaofeng turned her head toward the direction of the Long family, it was predetermine earlier on that the Long family would act last, a stipulation they had insisted on; not even Prince Jue could deprive them of this, not for a moment.

This forced the prince to make his entry as the third combatant.

As for whom the Long family would send out in the end, nobody knew yet.

"No matter who they send out, as long as it isn’t Long Xuan, nobody from the Long family can stand a chance against this guy."

"What about the older generation?"

Miaofeng turned her head and asked Yang Qianyan.

However, Yang Qianyan still shook his head.

The Long family has resided in the Capital City for many years, and the clan did not have any generational talents.

Among those older than Long Xuan, indeed there were a few Martial Gods and one Hollow Vacuum Immortal, but having seen Su Chengyu’s capabilities, they didn’t believe that those few Long family elders who clung to age and elixirs to achieve Hollow Vacuum could threaten Su Chengyu.

"So why can’t it be Long Xuan?"

Cang Xue’s simple statement made everyone pause.

"If it really is Long Xuan, wouldn’t that be somewhat too much of a bullying?" Mo Ningchen said awkwardly, obviously still reluctant to accept this reality.

Cang Xue scoffed, "Qian Jun, this is a fight to the death, not a friendly spar. The Long family has come to settle scores, why can’t it be Long Xuan? They are considered peers after all."

Qian Jun didn’t speak, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.

What Cang Xue said was the truth, but from the start, nobody had considered the possibility that Long Xuan would fight.

After all, the gap was too large.

Going beyond one’s realm to face an enemy, Nascent Soul facing off against a Demon Monarch...

The feat that Su Chengyu had only recently accomplished, Long Xuan had done not just once, but several times years ago.

And as for the emergence of Dragon and Tiger, Long Xuan’s attempt at becoming an Earth Immortal was no secret within the Demon Slayer Department.

How could Su Chengyu possibly have a chance at survival against a cultivator who was only a hair’s breadth away from Heaven’s Gate?

All eyes turned to Ye Qingci; they could all see that Ye Qingci had clearly taken a stand to be Su Chengyu’s support.

If the Long family truly intended to send Long Xuan, the first person to object would definitely be Ye Qingci.

"Young Master..."

"I know."

Long Xuan interrupted the housekeeper’s words and turned his head to look at the Martial Arts Field.

After three consecutive battles, Su Chengyu’s consumption was not small. Although he just took an elixir and was quickly recovering his mana, the drain on his Divine Sense was not something that could be recovered in a short amount of time.

Understanding this, Long Xuan finally took to the skies and stepped onto the Martial Arts Stage.

"Long Xuan of the Long family, here to Question the Dao."

"It’s over."

Hearing Long Xuan’s words echo throughout the Demon Slayer Department, Yang Junmo slapped his own forehead, instantly feeling as if his heart had turned to ash.

Beside him, Zhuang Yihan’s brows were also tightly furrowed, then he subconsciously lifted his head to look towards Ye Qingci in the distance.

The gaze of those at the Demon Slayer Department similarly fell on Ye Qingci, who, as if already knowing this would happen, stood still without any intention of intervening.

Su Chengyu faced Long Xuan and tentatively asked, "I suppose you wouldn’t go easy on me, would you?"

"I don’t have such a habit."

Long Xuan spoke softly, his calm words like a deep, unfathomable dark pool.

Su Chengyu felt a sudden increase in pressure as he looked at the man before him. He didn’t understand why Long Xuan had gone back on his word, having clearly promised Ye Qingci not to strike at him, yet now he was standing on the Martial Arts Field. But it seemed there was no time left for further thought.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu asked one last time, "Will this be a duel to determine the winner, or a fight to the death?"

"Do you not know my rule?" Long Xuan responded.

"What rule?"

Su Chengyu was somewhat at a loss, completely unclear about what the other was referring to.

Seeing that Su Chengyu did not pretend to understand, Long Xuan said, "I have traveled through mountains and rivers, visited Immortals and asked about the Dao under the heavens, and in the process of Questioning the Dao, I have always fought those within the same realm."

Su Chengyu, hearing these words, immediately thought of the stele with Long Xuan’s name inscribed on it at the foot of Mount Qingcheng. Su Chengyu blinked and said, "That name... on Mount Qingcheng..."

"I left it when I visited Qingcheng Sect back then. It’s just a pity that the person who answered my Questioning the Dao was not Master Cangqing."

There was an obvious hint of regret in Long Xuan’s voice.

Su Chengyu hesitated briefly and then looked at Long Xuan, as if seeing through his thoughts, Long Xuan once again spoke, "I will lower my strength to the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, but I will say it once more, I do not have the habit of holding back."

The Heaven-Mending Stone consoled, "It looks like he’s not here to fight you to the death, really. If you lose, just use this as an excuse to apologize to the Long family. I reckon your troubles might pass with that."

The Heaven-Mending Stone spoke clearly, and Su Chengyu also understood this was probably the best outcome he could hope for.

After all, the Long family had a Land Immortal presiding. The matter of him killing Long Li had to be addressed to the Long family.

The Long family pushing Long Xuan to participate was clearly a move to reclaim their standing. Su Chengyu, lacking the strength and influence of the Long family, should already consider it quite fortunate if he could step down this gracefully.

At the very least, Long Xuan did not seem to genuinely want to kill him; otherwise, there would have been no need to suggest lowering his realm.

Even though Long Xuan was a few years older than Su Chengyu, they were, after all, considered contemporaries.

Having understood this, Su Chengyu took a deep breath, his heart filling with more respect for Long Xuan.

This favored child of heaven was unique in his actions, but his character was beyond reproach. Moreover, knowing that Long Xuan was the possessor of the first Earth Core Lotus Fragment, Lin Yang’s impression of him improved significantly.

The seven possessors of the Earth Core Lotus Fragments formed a kind of small group. Although they were scattered across the world without apparent connections, there was indeed a bond in everyone’s heart.

Since Long Xuan had said thus, Su Chengyu naturally intended to take advantage of the situation, saying, "Then let it be a duel to determine the winner. If I lose, I will visit the Long family to admit my fault and seek punishment."

"Already lowering your realm and yet only dueling for victory or defeat, how dull. If the Long family doesn’t even have the thought of holding you accountable, then we might as well not fight at all."

Cang Xue’s voice carried a tone of mockery from outside the field, causing Su Chengyu’s eyebrows to furrow.

Long Xuan, however, turned his indifferent gaze toward Cang Xue and asked,

"Who might you be?"
