Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Saint Envoy You Ming

Having delivered the message, Mo Ningchen directly ascended into the sky and left. It was clear that he had just received his orders and had many matters to handle.

Had the visitor not been Mo Ningchen, Su Chengyu would have doubted whether there was a problem with this matter.

"Bei Luo Empire?"

Musing upon the name, Su Chengyu fell into deep thought. Yu Yanshu blinked and asked, "Master, is there a problem?"

"No, besides, this time you should not even entertain the thought of leaving with me. Staying in the Capital City is the safest option for you right now."

As soon as Yu Yanshu opened her mouth, Su Chengyu guessed what the girl was thinking. She had always felt a splinter in her heart for not being able to help him in Capital City. Now that he was about to leave, naturally, she wanted to come with him.

However, Su Chengyu had no intention of taking Yu Yanshu and Bai Huang with him. Although Capital City bristled with danger, thanks to their current residence and the covert protection from Qiu Tianlin, it was his most reliable rear guard. He felt most at ease with Yu Yanshu staying here.

"Has there been some change over the past few decades in the generally amicable relations between Bei Luo Empire and Xia Country, due to the Nether Clan?"

Qiu Tianlin asked Su Chengyu. Logically, the missions of the Demon Slayer Department rarely involved the Bei Luo Empire, normally heading directly to the Dark Sea in the far north or staying within the country’s borders.

Su Chengyu shook his head, "There haven’t been any overt conflicts between the two countries in my memory. But although they have a common enemy, the two have never been entirely straightforward allies."

"Indeed, otherwise, that incident would never have happened."

Su Chengyu immediately understood what Qiu Tianlin was referring to and clenched his fist, "This opportunity is a good one to also investigate the events of that year, just that..."

"What you’re seeking is right here."

A cold voice sounded from outside the door. Su Chengyu turned to see Ye Qingci who had just emerged from seclusion. She placed a thick dossier on the table and softly said, "All the intelligence related to Uncle Su being accused of colluding with Bei Luo Empire is here."

This intelligence was the culmination of Ye Qingci’s years of accumulation; every clue was dubious. However, due to the passage of time and the traces of deliberate cover-ups, Ye Qingci had been unable to find any definitive fault.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu said, "Thank you, Aunt Ye."

Ye Qingci waved her hand dismissively, then looked towards the rear chamber and quietly said, "That person over there is... Lord Chou, isn’t it?"

Only then did it dawn on Su Chengyu who had returned to his senses. Before he could speak, Qiu Tianlin had already walked out from the back room and looked at Ye Qingci, "It’s been a long time since we’ve met, and you have grown so much."

Ye Qingci took a deep breath, "Qingci pays her respects to Lord Chou."

Qiu Tianlin nodded, then asked Ye Qingci, "How is your father doing?"

"He is in good health, but he has already retired from political life and seldom concerns himself with worldly affairs now."

"Withdrawn from worldly affairs?" Qiu Tianlin seemed slightly surprised and then seemed to understand, smiling, "Indeed, that sounds like a choice he would make. It’s good."

Ye Qingci looked puzzled and was about to inquire further, but as if guessing what she was about to ask, Qiu Tianlin said, "If you have any doubts, it’s better to ask your father directly."

With that, Ye Qingci closed her mouth and dared not ask any more questions, "Understood, Lord Chou."

Sensing the peculiar atmosphere between the two, Su Chengyu promptly asked, "Aunt Ye, do you have any particular reasons for arranging my visit to the Bei Luo Empire?"

Ye Qingci looked at Su Chengyu and said, "I don’t know much either, only that it has some connection with the Demonic Path."

"The Demonic Path? How have they become involved with the Bei Luo Empire now?"

Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.

"After the Demonic Path reemerged, it has been active in the north. As for the exact location of their stronghold, the Demon Slayer Department has been continually sending people to investigate. Just a few days ago, the Yu Ming Saint Envoy, who has been following up on this matter, sent a message. They have almost confirmed that one of the Demonic Path’s main strongholds is located within the Bei Luo Empire."

"I see," Su Chengyu suddenly understood. The Demon Slayer Department was planning to take direct action against the Demonic Path.

"But you don’t need to worry too much. Your mission with Qian Jun this time is more about confirming the exact location of the stronghold and the number of people there, rather than completely eradicating the Demonic Path. According to the Department’s internal risk assessment, it’s highly likely that a Land Immortal has already been born within the Demonic Path."

"A Land Immortal?" Su Chengyu inhaled deeply, greatly surprised.

It hadn’t been long since the resurgence of the Demonic Path in Xia Country, and Su Chengyu had never expected that a Land Immortal might already exist.

"Don’t be so shocked. The cultivation methods of the Demonic Path are different from those of Cultivators and Martial Artists. Their harmful practices make it easier to quickly produce a Land Immortal compared to other methods."

"This is also one of the reasons why the Demonic Path can so easily bewitch people’s hearts." Qiu Tianlin also softly interjected.

Su Chengyu nodded and said, "I understand. So our main responsibility on this trip to the Bei Luo Empire is to investigate, right?"

"Yes, that’s basically it. However, you’ll need to confirm the specific details tomorrow with Mo Ningchen personally. He seems to have taken a liking to you, and he has specifically requested your involvement in this operation. If you complete the mission successfully, your promotion to an official saint envoy will be guaranteed."

After giving a few more pieces of advice, Ye Qingci didn’t stay any longer. She stood up and bid farewell to Su Chengyu and Qiu Tianlin before leaving Su Chengyu’s private residence.

Qiu Tianlin, after reviewing the intelligence brought by Ye Qingci, shook his head and said, "There doesn’t seem to be a problem with the items, but this information isn’t sufficient to prove anything."

"Do you mean, Sect Master, that the content is real, but it’s not enough to prove that my grandfather betrayed Xia Country?"

Qiu Tianlin nodded, "Su Linyuan did indeed visit the Bei Luo Empire several times without reporting and logging his visits. Furthermore, from the records, it seems that Su Linyuan never explained what he did there in the end."

Su Chengyu bit his lip, regretting why he hadn’t asked his grandfather in person what he had actually done back then.

Now the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map was completely destroyed, and Su Linyuan’s Remnant Soul no longer existed within it. Su Chengyu had no way of verifying what his grandfather had done in the Bei Luo Empire back then.

Su Chengyu’s gaze wandered over the intelligence, quickly focusing on a common destination in the records of Su Linyuan’s secret visits to the Bei Luo Empire.

The capital of the Bei Luo Empire, Thousand Tents City.

Perhaps there, he could find the answer to his question.

The next day, having made all the preparations, Su Chengyu left the Capital City alone, arriving early at the agreed-upon location where he saw the figure of Mo Ningchen.

Next to Mo Ningchen, Su Chengyu saw a woman clad in black, her face veiled.

Feeling Su Chengyu’s arrival, the woman also cast a cold glance his way. The moment those eyes looked directly at him, Su Chengyu immediately felt as if his entire being had been seen through.

Having received the message ahead of time, Su Chengyu guessed the woman’s identity instantly.

The Twelve Saints of Demon Slaying, with the title Yu Ming.
