Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377 Shaken You Ming

The Shaken You Ming

Su Chengyu knew many Bei Luo people, some good, some bad.

Among them, whether it was the military officer in the Tower of Eternal Winter who detected his intentions and allowed him through willingly, or Toreyev in Linbei City, who, not wishing to join the Bei Luo Royal Family, still adhered to the rules of the Bei Luo Empire and stayed in Linbei City for nearly a lifetime, Su Chengyu felt a deep respect for them.

But the current tower keeper... Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, the fact that the other party didn’t even think about correcting his mistakes was truly disappointing to Su Chengyu.

"Regret?"

Hearing Su Chengyu’s words, the Tower Keeper scoffed softly, "How do you know I don’t have regrets? Do you know how long I’ve been imprisoned here? Do you understand the desperation of the Nether Clan not even giving me a chance to surrender? Do you know how I lost control of the Tower of Eternal Winter?"

Su Chengyu’s heart was not touched by the first few sentences, but the last sentence made him freeze up, and after exchanging a glance with You Ming, he spoke.

"Senior, were you schemed against?"

"Schemed against? It was not just a scheme, it was a complete trap! Before my arrival, the Tower of Eternal Winter was already in danger. The moment I took charge, the Nether Clan inside and outside the tower united and made me completely lose control of the Tower of Eternal Winter!"

"Internally and externally combined?"

The startling words from the other party made Su Chengyu freeze, connecting numerous lines and clarifications in his mind, and some previously unclear matters instantly became clear.

"Eternal Winter City Lord?"

"Oh? It looks like you’ve met that fellow."

The Tower Keeper’s smile was intriguing as he spoke, understanding that if they had met, their arrival here was clearly a deliberate act of walking into the lion’s den.

Su Chengyu turned to look at You Ming. The City Lord of Eternal Winter had only returned to the city two days ago, when Su Chengyu was busy communicating with the Capital City, entrusting Mo Ningchen and You Ming to meet with him.

You Ming shook his head, "I didn’t notice anything peculiar, but right now I can’t be 100% sure that the fellow is not from the Nether Clan."

After arriving at the Tower of Eternal Winter, You Ming could no longer be absolutely certain that she possessed the Eye Power to see through the identity of someone from the Nether Clan.

After all, she hadn’t noticed that the blonde woman would be from the Nether Clan before she took action.

Su Chengyu pondered for a while and whispered, "It’s okay, perhaps Mo Ningchen already made some preparations."

Mo Ningchen stayed in the city, while the task of infiltrating the Tower of Eternal Winter was undertaken by Su Chengyu and You Ming, a decision made collectively by the three of them.

Previously, Su Chengyu had found it strange why Mo Ningchen had to stay, but now it seemed that perhaps Mo Ningchen had already discovered something.

"Oh? You also have other helpers? Interesting, daring to infiltrate the Tower of Eternal Winter, you must not be ordinary Xia Country Monks, let me think, who would dare to shelter a mixed-blood of the Nether Clan..."

"No need to guess, Demon Slayer Department."

You Ming turned her head not understanding why Su Chengyu would directly reveal their identities to the other party, as in her view, even if their mission failed, they should never disclose their own identities.

However, considering that the person in front of them was also imprisoned by the Nether Clan, she didn’t think too much about it and set it aside.

"So it is, I was wondering why the Red Robed High Priest endured such humiliation and was unwilling to return to the Nether Clan; it turns out it was because the Demon Slayer Department threatened her."

"Threat?"

You Ming expressed her confusion upon hearing this.

"Otherwise, why? If it was just cooperation, why would your mother have been left in the Tower of Eternal Winter all those years ago? She was the Red Robed High Priest of the Nether Clan."

You Ming was somewhat confused by the other party’s words.

Seeing her condition, Su Chengyu immediately spoke, "Don’t let it disturb your mind, his words are merely conjecture."

"Then you tell me, why was she left in the Tower of Eternal Winter?"

"Because she is from the Nether Clan."

"So what?"

Su Chengyu took a deep breath and said, "What you said is not impossible. The Demon Slayer Department could indeed be holding You Ming hostage to threaten the Red Robed High Priest, but it could also be simply due to her identity. The Demon Slayer Department might find it inconvenient or maybe she herself does not wish to live in Xia Country."

"But that’s just your speculation, right?"

"Yes."

Su Chengyu spoke without evasion, then looked at You Ming and said, "However, one undeniable fact is that if You Ming were merely a pawn used for threats by the Demon Slayer Department, she would not possess her current strength, and it would be even less likely for her to appear in Bei Luo Empire, at this Demon Slayer Tower!"

His words instantly snapped You Ming back to reality.

Indeed, if she were just a pawn, why would the Demon Slayer Department nurture her, and why would they let her act in person in the mission to infiltrate the Tower of Eternal Winter? Could there really be someone so sinister within the Demon Slayer Department?

Su Chengyu watched You Ming’s confusion slowly clear up but did not continue speaking; he knew all too well where the biggest issue with his response lay.

If indeed there is someone in the Demon Slayer Department who uses others, exerting control over both people and situations mercilessly, then everything makes sense.

And in Su Chengyu’s mind, there is indeed such a person in the Demon Slayer Department.

Yang Chengyin.

Of course, his decision to bring up these topics now was because he was certain that You Ming’s understanding of Yang Chengyin was surely different from his own.

Different upbringing, different origins, different people being nurtured.

Almost personally raised by the Demon Slayer Department, even without much private interactions with Yang Chengyin, You Ming certainly shouldn’t be someone who hates or questions this Sect Master of the Demon Slayer Department.

As expected, Su Chengyu’s words noticeably stabilized You Ming’s emotions, and the Tower Keeper in the darkness decisively said, "Truly members of the Demon Slayer Department, such mindset is indeed not something ordinary Bei Luo people can compare to. Yet even so, you two won’t be able to escape from the Tower of Eternal Winter."

Su Chengyu cast his gaze toward the dark area where the Tower Keeper was and spoke, "Senior, have you really never thought about escaping this almost endless prison?"

"With you?"

The Tower Keeper scoffed disdainfully.

Su Chengyu continued, "Maybe just the two of us can’t, but what about including Senior and that Red Robed High Priest?"

This comment left the Tower Keeper silent, forced to admit that Su Chengyu’s words were very tempting. If everything was as this man in front said, there might indeed be a possibility to escape from here.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge tremor occurred, shaking the whole space, causing both Su Chengyu and You Ming to sway.

You Ming frowned and asked, "What’s happening?"

The Tower Keeper in the darkness softly said, "The Nether Clan is coming. That’s the sound of the prohibition being breached."

"Forcing it open?"

Su Chengyu looked at the Tower Keeper and asked.

The Tower Keeper sneered, "Alone, I have no way to escape from the Tower of Eternal Winter, but I can manage to enclose myself within this small piece of sky and earth; otherwise, how do you think I have survived all these years?"

Listening to this, Su Chengyu suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "But now it seems like the Nether Clan wants to forcibly break the prohibition. Afterwards, can Senior still ensure your own survival?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Once again, a voice emerged from the darkness, and a sudden chill arose behind Su Chengyu and You Ming.

Realizing there was no way back, Su Chengyu, unafraid, spoke out, "The ones threatening are never us, but the Nether Clan. Senior should be clearer about this than I am!"
