Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: The Secrets of Bei Luo

"I’ll introduce the two of you..."

"No need."

A cold voice emanated from the woman’s mouth, cutting off Mo Ningchen unceremoniously. The woman looked at Su Chengyu and softly said, "You are Su Chengyu who won against Long Xuan, right?"

Su Chengyu nodded and replied, "Su Chengyu has seen the Saint Envoy."

Yu Ming glanced at him and said, "No need to be so formal, everyone knows your placement as a Saint Envoy is a done deal, it’s just the procedure."

Su Chengyu’s joining of the Demon Slayer Department was ordained by the Heavenly Son, but due to this very reason, in order to avoid leaving behind any controversy, he had to first hold the position of Substitute Holy Envoy.

This was well known to the individuals of the Demon Slayer Department. However, given that Su Chengyu had obtained the approval of half of the Demon Slayer Saints and also had support from higher-ups, coupled with his triumph over Red Flame, even if others had objections to Su Chengyu, they could no longer voice them.

But just because they didn’t say anything, it didn’t mean they harbored no thoughts; the Yu Ming Saint Envoy evidently had some issues with Su Chengyu.

Mo Ningchen walked up to Su Chengyu and whispered, "Don’t mind him; he’s always this cold to everyone, his temperament is somewhat similar to that of Moon Han."

Su Chengyu nodded and didn’t take it to heart. He could sense that the woman’s gaze held more curiosity than hostility, but what she saw in him, Su Chengyu could not tell.

"Be cautious, this girl also has a natural unusual pupil, but it seems she didn’t use any divine skills just now, and I’m not sure what type of Pupil Skill she possesses."

The reminder from the Heaven-Mending Stone made Su Chengyu take a few more glances at Yu Ming. If it hadn’t been for the Heaven-Mending Stone’s remark, he wouldn’t have realized that Yu Ming also possessed a Pupil Skill.

But then again, who would be a Demon Slayer Saint without some special skills of their own?

Forget someone like Red Flame who marginally made the cut, Mo Ningchen’s physical strength wasn’t inferior to his own, clearly practicing a secret technique similar to the Thunder Resistant Body.

Yu Ming’s Pupil Skill, as it seems, is now the Saint Envoy’s biggest trump card.

"All right, since everyone is here, let’s set off. I’ll explain the specific details of the mission on the way."

Mo Ningchen spoke first and flew off into the sky, while Su Chengyu followed closely with Sword Control. Although not at full speed, he was nearly pushing his limit. Observing Yu Ming alongside, she seemed very much at ease, obviously not reaching her fastest speed.

Late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This was Su Chengyu’s preliminary judgment of Yu Ming’s strength.

Moreover, Su Chengyu had no doubt that a late-stage Nascent Soul like Yu Ming possessed the ability to perform Hollow Vacuum against enemies.

On the way, Mo Ningchen described the specific content of the mission, mainly for Su Chengyu’s benefit. Yu Ming, who had brought back intelligence from the Bei Luo Empire, obviously had a rough idea of what revisiting Bei Luo entailed.

It was not much different from Ye Qingci’s previous conjecture, mainly to investigate the hidden bases of the Demonic Path within the Bei Luo Empire and assess the level of the Demonic Path forces there.

"Has there been any communication with Beiluo official on this matter?"

The relationship between Bei Luo Empire and Xia Country was that of allies; normally, such cross-national actions would involve notification to the other party, making the process considerably smoother. However, in Mo Ningchen’s recently shared mission details, Su Chengyu sensed something slightly different.

Mo Ningchen’s mouth curled into a smirk as he turned to Su Chengyu and said, "You’re quite alert, lad. No wonder Moon Han said you were born to be a Saint Envoy."

Su Chengyu remained silent. He found it hard to imagine what it looked like when Ye Qingci praised him in front of others.

"You felt it correctly. We haven’t negotiated with Bei Luo Empire for this mission, so we must do our best to conceal our identities along the way. This will be our guise for the operation."

As he spoke, Mo Ningchen handed over the fake identity that the Demon Slayer Department had prepared for Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu’s identity was that of a second-generation descendant from Xia Country, Bei Tang Yu.

"Bei Tang Family?"

"Yes, I’ve touched base with them, and they were more than willing to lend you this identity."

Su Chengyu kept silent. The Demon Slayer Department certainly knew how to offer Buddha with borrowed flowers—they arranged the identity but used Su Chengyu’s connections.

The Beitang Family’s prompt agreement was obviously due to their private relationship with Su Chengyu.

Without questioning the tactics of the Demon Slayer Department, Su Chengyu continued, "But why? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to inform the Bei Luo Empire and ease our operations?"

Mo Ningchen did not respond, instead, he looked towards Yu Ming, who advocated this strategy, naturally letting her explain.

"I suspect, through my investigation, that there might be individuals within the Bei Luo Empire who have already colluded with the Demonic Path."

"Is that true?"

Su Chengyu asked, astounded.

If it was true, this was not a matter to be underestimated. After all, Lin Ran falling to the Demonic Path had caused such turmoil in the Capital City. If there were deep collusions within the Bei Luo Empire, it could very likely be the root cause of its downfall.

"Merely a speculation. However, with such matters, it is better to believe they exist than to ignore them. Being cautious is never a bad thing."

Yu Ming’s words were still cold, but she thoroughly explained the situation to Su Chengyu.

"There have also been instances in the history of the Bei Luo Empire where foreigners infiltrated. Considering the Demonic Path has managed to ensure for so long, there definitely are those within the Empire covertly supporting them, which is also what this mission aims to uncover."

Mo Ningchen’s remark beside him piqued Su Chengyu’s curiosity, he asked, puzzled, "The Bei Luo Empire was infiltrated by foreigners?"

"Yes, about a decade or so ago, there was a civil strife within the Bei Luo Empire, and the current Empress ascended to the throne following that turmoil. The root cause of the strife was the invasion by outsiders. Had our Demon Slayer Department not noticed something amiss and intervened across borders, the Bei Luo Empire might have existed in name only by now."

Su Chengyu blinked in confusion and asked, "There was involvement from the Demon Slayer Department? What exactly happened during that turmoil?"

Su Chengyu’s successive questions caused Yu Ming to frown. She turned and looked at Mo Ningchen, saying, "Can we really rely on this guy? He seems to know nothing."

Mo Ningchen scratched his head and said, "Well, it’s his first mission, and it involves the Bei Luo Empire, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know."

Suppressing her discontent with Su Chengyu, Yu Ming explained, "It was the Nether Clan. During the turmoil a decade ago, the Nether Clan infiltrated the Beiluo Royal Family, trying to seize control of the Empire. They were just one step away from succeeding. It was ultimately because the Demon Slayer Department noticed and intervened that the disaster was averted. By the way, the Holy Envoy in charge of the matter, Xu Zijing of Shocking Dragon, was just like you, newly appointed as a Saint Envoy."
