Chapter 1332: Chapter 1332: The Attacked Military Tent

"Prepare for the worst, we may not just be dealing with a single Martial God."

Mo Ningchen’s conclusion deeply shocked Su Chengyu.

He had considered that the trip to Bei Luo Empire wouldn’t be peaceful, but he hadn’t expected everything to happen so quickly.

Looking at the North Luo Soldiers patrolling outside as usual, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but think of the soldiers on the borders of Xia Country and then said, "Aren’t we going to discuss their intentions at all? As soldiers, would they truly disregard everything and take action against us?"

"Su Chengyu, do you know what inevitability in history means?"

Su Chengyu shook his head. The judgments the two had made today indeed made Su Chengyu question his own understanding.

"The so-called war is the intensification of contradictions to a certain extent. Whatever becomes the catalyst, war is inevitable. Conversely, when there’s no intention for war between two nations, as long as there’s a plausible excuse, the nations absolutely won’t start a war easily."

Su Chengyu fell silent and said, "So Lays understands that today’s Xia Country cannot possibly start a war with Bei Luo Empire, which is why he acts so recklessly? But..."

"There are no buts."

You Ming said indifferently, "As long as Lays is confident he can pin the blame on someone else, even if all three of us die here, he won’t provoke retaliation from Xia Country, at most it will offend the Beitang Family. That’s how interactions between countries work, constantly testing each other’s limits. If you don’t strike first, you can only silently endure."

In his mind, Su Chengyu suddenly thought of Ye Qingci, who went alone to Dongying, acting very boldly.

Without concealing his identity, he directly challenged the Four Major Guilds, and though Dongying wanted to eliminate Ye Qingci, they never dared to act openly.

The attacking party always holds the initiative, and the defending party often has to pay a greater cost to turn the tide.

"Thank you, I understand a bit now."

Su Chengyu spoke softly.

Mo Ningchen said, "It’s normal for you not to understand since you’ve just joined the Demon Slayer Department. Now, our Xia Country is a major nation, holding official status. In public, you must show strong presence, otherwise, what’s the point of Xia Country’s struggle to rise to this position after a hundred years?"

Su Chengyu clenched his fist and said, "So, if we had come here as members of the Demon Slayer Department, it would have been a completely different situation, right?"

"Of course, knowing that we belong to the Demon Slayer Department, whoever dares to keep us here for three hours, that alone could warrant a charge of delaying military operations, even if it escalates to the Beiluo Royal Family, do you think they’d dare refuse?"

You Ming’s cold voice revealed strong confidence in the Demon Slayer Department.

Mo Ningchen slowly said, "But this is also good, it lets us see which forces the closest frontier army to our Xia Country is colluding with."

Because she didn’t want to reveal her identity, You Ming did not use her Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.

Although she looked down on Lays, his strength as a Martial God was still a genuine threat, and using Divine Sense recklessly could likely expose her own strength.

Mo Ningchen, however, had fewer concerns, spreading his Divine Sense throughout the entire tent.

As a bodyguard, he didn’t conceal his strength as an Eighth-Rank Warrior Emperor. Since he was on guard duty, it also served as a deterrence to Lays.

Su Chengyu carefully watched the soldiers outside. The patrolling soldiers had taken several rounds, and the number of personnel was noticeably decreasing. Most were no longer staying within the military tents.

Just when Su Chengyu sensed that something was increasingly amiss, Mo Ningchen suddenly looked up and said, "Lays’ aura has disappeared."

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu frowned and looked at Mo Ningchen, who glanced at You Ming. After seemingly reaching a consensus, Mo Ningchen instantly left the spot.

Su Chengyu, puzzled, asked, "What is Brother Mo Da doing?"

"Drawing the tiger away from the mountain."

"Is Brother Mo Da alone? Isn’t that too dangerous?"

Su Chengyu voiced his concern.

You Ming glanced at Su Chengyu and said, "Mo Ningchen is that tiger."

Only then did Su Chengyu realize and looked back at You Ming, "He’s the tiger being lured away, and we are the bait?"

"Here they come!"

As soon as Su Chengyu finished speaking, You Ming became alert, and suddenly their tent was attacked by a group of strange people.

A group of martial artists, each with strength at the Martial King level, launched an indiscriminate aggression against the entire North Luo border army, and immediately, a warning siren sounded within the tent!

The North Luo border army reacted quickly, but most of the main force had already left. The soldiers in the tent were far less skilled than their opponents, and it took only a few minutes for their defenses to be breached, pushing directly into the interior of the tent.

Inside the tent, Su Chengyu watched the situation outside and frowned, puzzled, "This doesn’t look like the work of the Demonic Path."

You Ming swept her gaze over the group and immediately furrowed her brow, "It’s the Nether Clan."

"Hm?"

Su Chengyu turned his head just as You Ming materialized an Edgeless Black Sword in her hand, ready to strike.

"Wait! If you act now, wouldn’t our disguise be completely exposed?"

"The Nether Clan must die! Moreover, if I don’t act now, these North Luo border soldiers will surely have their spirits destroyed by the Nether Clan’s techniques, turning them completely into the Nether Clan’s puppets!"

The strength of the Nether Clan lies not in their physical bodies or techniques, but in their ability to control the body!

Unlike the Demonic Path’s destruction of spirit, the Nether Clan’s divine skills can turn any creature into a thoughtless fighting machine.

Although You Ming did not know why the Nether Clan appeared on the border line between Xia Country and Bei Luo Empire, she was certain that if she did not act now, all these North Luo border soldiers would become the Nether Clan’s puppets.

"Then it seems more appropriate for me to act, especially since you are only..."

"I can stop the Nether Clan from turning them into puppets! Can you? If I delay any longer, all these North Luo soldiers will become prisoners of the Nether Clan!"

You Ming was visibly agitated, a stark contrast to her usual composure, and although Su Chengyu did not understand why, he quickly spoke up.

"Though I don’t have the means to stop the Nether Clan, can’t we simply kill them?"

Su Chengyu’s gaze shifted to those odd, gray-skinned, humanoid creatures, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Hearing this, You Ming’s brow tightened, "Can you?"

Outside, the number of Nether Clan members was at least three hundred. Despite their varied strengths, including some at the Martial Emperor Realm, facing them alone seemed rather daunting for Su Chengyu.

Faced with You Ming’s skepticism, Su Chengyu calmly responded, "I admit, in some aspects I may not yet qualify as a Demon Slayer Saint, but if I can’t even manage killing, then I don’t deserve the title of Substitute Holy Envoy, either."

With the Demon-slaying Sword in hand, Su Chengyu’s gaze fixed on the Nether Clan, his Sword Qi scattering everywhere.
