Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: Bam Alliance

"Night Raven is dead," You Ming said.

"How is that possible?"

Mo Ningchen exclaimed in shock.

Su Chengyu was also confused: "Didn’t you say that you didn’t strike to kill?"

"I’ve said that I’m not you!"

You Ming said somewhat angrily, and then explained: "I was certain she was only unconscious at the time, and to prevent any accidents, I even left a special mark on her body. Let alone him, even an Earth Immortal would definitely not be able to detect the trace I left. But when I returned to Linbei City and found her, it was already a corpse."

"Who did it?"

Mo Ningchen asked directly.

You Ming shook her head; she had been investigating this matter back and forth in the past few days, but hadn’t found an answer.

Su Chengyu speculated with a blink: "Could it be that Demonic Path?"

You Ming nodded: "I have the same suspicion. Although Night Raven didn’t seem to know the true identity of the Executor, she must have done quite a few things for the Demonic Path using Night Raven’s identity over the years."

"Or maybe she was one of them too, just not fallen into the Demonic Path, like Lays’ relationship with the Nether Clan."

Mo Ningchen also gave his own idea.

But either way, it was enough reason for Night Raven to be silenced.

"Whether it is or isn’t, there won’t be a definite conclusion now. But one thing is for sure, the Demonic Path hidden within the Bei Luo Empire is likely aware of our arrival, and this operation is probably going to be even more difficult."

Su Chengyu clenched his fist subconsciously: "Sorry, it’s my fault for provoking this guy."

If it wasn’t for the conflict with Night Raven, they wouldn’t have been exposed.

Mo Ningchen patted Su Chengyu’s shoulder and explained: "There’s no need to be too hard on yourself. Trying to probe the identity of the Executor was our unanimous decision at that time; it’s just that the opponent’s strength was beyond our expectation."

Having high risks also comes with high rewards. Looking at the outcome, the three of them took the initiative to expose themselves, but if the strength of that member of the Demonic Path wasn’t so formidable, the three of them might have been able to follow the clues and directly find the Demonic Path’s stronghold in the Bei Luo Empire.

In the end, the real reason for the failure was the gap in strength between the two sides, which exceeded the trio’s expectations.

"I will report this matter to the Demon Slayer Department. With our identities exposed, relying only on the three of us, we are probably insufficient to complete this mission."

Involving the Peak of the Hollow Void, this was not something that the three of them had the power to resolve.

To continue the investigation, more personnel from the Demon Slayer Department would have to be dispatched as support.

You Ming nodded her agreement and then continued: "Qian Jun, there’s another piece of information you should report to the Demon Slayer Department."

"Hm? Is there another discovery?"

Mo Ningchen asked somewhat excitedly.

"Yes, although I didn’t find any clues in Linbei City, on the Nether Clan member that Night Raven sold, I did indeed find out some information."

You Ming had hurried back to Linbei City two days ago for two reasons: one was because of Night Raven, and the other was for that Nether Clan slave.

After expressing her interest in buying, she was ambushed and captured by the Duke of Night Raven and didn’t bring back that Nether Clan member.

But returning to Linbei City this time, she also discovered the place where Night Raven kept those slaves hidden under the estate.

And on the Nether Clan member’s body, You Ming finally found a useful clue.

"Alliance?"

After listening to Night Raven’s report, Mo Ningchen uttered with a hint of astonishment.

You Ming nodded and then produced a badge that featured a black snake and a black dragon. She said, "The black snake represents the Nether Clan, and the black dragon represents the Demonic Path. They have established an alliance within the Bei Luo Empire, called the Bam Alliance."

"Bam?"

Mo Ningchen inquired about the word, looking puzzled.

You Ming explained, "It’s a phonetic translation from the Nether Clan’s language; its original meaning is roughly that of ’swallow’ or ’engulf.’"

Mo Ningchen snorted coldly, "What an audacious claim."

Su Chengyu listened to this response and softly said, "So what we’re facing is not just the Demonic Path, but also the Nether Clan?"

"Yes, it’s bad news, but at least we’ve got a lead. Moreover, I suspect that this alliance’s reach has already started to extend into Xia Country. It’s best to let the Demon Slayer Department know as soon as possible to get prepared."

The appearance of the Nether Clan at the border between Xia Country and Bei Luo Empire was a signal. Considering that Lin Ran had shown up in the Capital City, the alliance’s infiltration into Xia Country might have already begun for quite some time.

Listening to this news, Mo Ningchen’s expression turned solemn. He nodded and said, "I will report this as well, I’m afraid this task may fall on Lone Star or Jinglong to take care of."

Su Chengyu asked, "Is the Cold Moon Envoy not suitable?"

Mo Ningchen knew what Su Chengyu was getting at and explained, "It’s different. Purely in terms of slaying demons, let’s not talk about now; even when Ye Qingci had not yet become an Earth Immortal, his operational efficiency would not be inferior to those two. However, this matter involves investigating a variety of issues within the country. Yang Qianyan and Xu Zijing are more adept at those tasks."

Upon hearing this, You Ming countered, "Is there anything that Zijing isn’t good at?"

Mo Ningchen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, not wanting to argue with someone infatuated with love, continued, "Anyway, most of the envoys of the Demon Slayer Department have their own areas of expertise, and their personalities are mostly distinct. You have interacted more with Cold Moon; you should be able to understand this."

Su Chengyu nodded. Speaking of distinct personalities, Ye Qingci was indeed a standout.

Su Chengyu had some insight into the others as well, like Mo Ningchen, who, despite the domineering title of Qian Jun, acted with exceptional tact.

There was also Red Flame, who was decisive and merciless in actions, and then You Ming by his side, who, like Ye Qingci, was silent and reserved but good at cooperating with others.

"I’m talking to you!"

Seeing her words ignored, You Ming spoke with a trace of anger towards Mo Ningchen.

Mo Ningchen replied helplessly, "Indeed, indeed, our Lord Jinglong is truly an all-rounder."

Despite Mo Ningchen’s casual way of speaking, Su Chengyu could sense that his words were more than just placating You Ming.

This piqued Su Chengyu’s curiosity; would the person coming to Bei Luo to support them be Xu Zijing?

And if the only possibilities for reinforcements were Xu Zijing and Yang Qianyan, Su Chengyu would prefer the former in his heart.

As for the latter, the current Su Chengyu did not wish to have too many dealings with him.

However, as a Substitute Holy Envoy, Su Chengyu did not have the luxury to comment much on the decision of who from the Demon Slayer Department would be the second to go to Bei Luo. Ultimately, it had to be based on the attitudes within the department.

After briefly exchanging information, the three of them quickly decided to leave Linbei City posthaste.

The place was teeming with an array of mixed elements, and staying here could very likely attract the attention of the Bam Alliance once again.

Once they had made up their minds, the three returned to the wooden house. Chaitov, who was working on his crafts and facing away from them, ceased his actions and said, "Planning to leave?"

Mo Ningchen nodded and stepped forward, "We have troubled our senior these past few days. Now that our companion has awoken, it wouldn’t be proper to impose on you further."

Chaitov turned around and nodded, then his gaze rested on Su Chengyu.

"Before you leave, I have a few questions I would like to ask him in private; would that be alright?"
