Chapter 1443: Chapter 1444: The One Who Breaks the Game

A single sentence made Su Chengyu freeze on the spot; he never expected that the first message he received upon returning to Xia Country would be this.

Bei Tang Ru Meng’s strength was very clear to Su Chengyu. At the Peak of the Hollow Void, she was the one who defeated the threat of the Dao Heart Demon Seed of the Demonic Path and was also the most active Hollow Void Realm powerhouse during the Demon Slaying Conference.

Not only that, but when it comes to understanding the Demonic Path, Dream Entering Elder is definitely one of the top experts in the whole Xia Country.

What was most important was that she was an old acquaintance who had known his grandfather.

"Done by the Demonic Path?" asked Su Chengyu.

Bei Tang Qianxiao nodded: "Half a month ago, by a Demonic Path called Cui Manlou."

Su Chengyu looked up at Bei Tang Ru Meng in surprise: "Are you sure it was Cui Manlou?"

Bei Tang Qianxiao was somewhat puzzled by Su Chengyu’s reaction: "What’s wrong? You know him?"

"Just a week ago, I saw her in the city of Qian Ding in Bei Luo Country."

This had Bei Tang Qianxiao bewildered as well. It was completely possible for a powerhouse of Hollow Void Realm strength to hurry from Qin Chuan City to Bei Luo Country within a week, but it would undoubtfully come with significant exhaustion, and it seemed that Su Chengyu had clearly crossed hands with this Demonic Path named Cui Manlou.

Bei Tang Qianxiao thought of thousands of methods but in the end shook her head: "It makes no sense. Although Elder Bei Tang died due to his schemes, that guy was also heavily injured. It’s impossible for him to have recovered so quickly and then fled to Bei Luo."

A strange atmosphere spread between the two. Su Chengyu took a deep breath and said, "There must be something fishy about this incident. Either the Cui Manlou we know is a fake, or..."

"Or there’s more than one Cui Manlou."

Bei Tang Qianxiao took over Su Chengyu’s words, then raised her head to say: "I will report this to the family. Are you coming to Qin Chuan with me?"

Su Chengyu pondered for a moment before speaking: "I might as well go. I am not in a particular hurry right now, and since Elder Bei Tang passed away, as the younger generation, it’s only proper for me to offer my condolences."

"Okay, I’ll inform the family. Please wait a moment."

Bei Tang Qianxiao turned around and walked to the two young members of the Bei Tang Family, briefly communicated with them, then used the Bei Tang Family’s secret technique to report Su Chengyu’s upcoming visit. She soon gave Su Chengyu a look and the four of them headed toward the Bei Tang Family’s residence.

"After Elder Bei Tang passed away, his wandering soul once came to me in a dream, wanting to entrust something to you."

On the way, Bei Tang Qianxiao spoke to Su Chengyu using a voice transmission technique, and Su Chengyu quickly responded: "If I hadn’t come, this item wouldn’t have been given to me, right?"

To this, Bei Tang Qianxiao did not hide anything: "Yeah, although I understand that even if you didn’t come, it would definitely be because you had urgent matters, but after all, it was Dream Entering Elder’s final entrusted task, so I didn’t dare to decide on my own."

"Understood."

Su Chengyu spoke softly and did not hold any resentment against Bei Tang Qianxiao for this. The fact that Bei Tang Qianxiao was willing to speak frankly with him was enough to show her trust in him.

On the way, Su Chengyu and Bei Tang Qianxiao talked about some Demonic Path-related events that had happened in Bei Luo, and Bei Tang Qianxiao also shared some intelligence with Su Chengyu, including details about Dadao Mountain.

"Dadao Mountain is located over in the Northeastern Four Provinces. When the anomaly appeared, our Bei Tang Family also heard some rumors. Despite the distant location, two youngsters from our Bei Tang Family went to Dadao Mountain."

"Did they die there?"

Su Chengyu began to speak.

"One has perished, another has returned, but the mind of the one who returned has also been greatly impacted. Despite the clan’s expenditure on numerous elixirs, recovery remains elusive, and treatment has now been abandoned."

Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s words were clearly tinged with anger, after which she slowly turned to look at Su Chengyu and asked, "Was that Cui Manlou truly just at the Tongxuan Realm at the time?"

Su Chengyu confirmed with his answer, "Cold Moon Envoy personally informed me, there can be no falsehood. Besides, if even Dream Entering Elder could fall at his hands, dealing with some ordinary martial arts practitioners hardly seems significant now."

In terms of realm and strength, Bei Tang Ru Meng doubtlessly outclassed the Cui Manlou known to Su Chengyu.

Moreover, considering Bei Tang Ru Meng’s understanding of the Demonic Path and her cautious nature, outmaneuvering a cohort who had long forgotten what the Demonic Path entailed was not an issue at all.

"This Cui Manlou will undoubtedly become a major threat Xia Country must face against the Demonic Path in the future."

Bei Tang Qian Xiao clenched her fist quietly before looking at Su Chengyu and asking, "Looking at him, do you think of someone?"

"Do you mean Long Xuan?"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao nodded, "Such a flamboyant manner, such terrifying talent, he is to the Demonic Path what Long Xuan is to Xia Country."

However, Su Chengyu shook his head, "Setting aside the approach to seeking the Dao, though Long Xuan may be considered somewhat extreme, he would never stoop to petty thievery."

"Of course, this cannot be generalized, after all..."

Bei Tang Qian Xiao paused halfway through her sentence and then looked at Su Chengyu, "You should know by now, he is the mysterious Number One, right?"

After pondering for a while, Su Chengyu replied, "Yes, Yang Junmo mentioned this matter to me in Capital City."

It wasn’t exactly as stated, but Su Chengyu feared being exposed. Given the fact that Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Yang Junmo were at odds, he was certain that Bei Tang Qian Xiao would never confront him about it.

Noticing the disgust evident on Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s face, Su Chengyu, even more convinced of his inner conjecture, chuckled, "Initially, I thought it would be most difficult to find any clues about Number One’s identity, yet as it turns out, it’s Numbers Two and Seven who continue to leave no trail."

"It’s not entirely without clues."

Listening to Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s rebuttal, Su Chengyu expected her to mention the identification of Number Two within the Demon Slayer Department and Dragon Soul Department, yet to his surprise, Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s gaze fixed firmly on him.

Feeling a sudden jolt of apprehension, Su Chengyu swallowed quietly and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t suspect me to be Number Two, do you?"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao shook her head, "Of course not. You’ve only just joined the Demon Slayer Department; judging by Number Two’s knowledge and the strength displayed, it’s obvious he has been with the Demon Slayer Department or Dragon Soul Department for quite some time. However, even if you are not Number Two, in my view, you definitely know who Number Two is."

Su Chengyu wore a face of confusion, not understanding the meaning behind Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s words.

Only then did Bei Tang Qian Xiao continue, "Don’t you find it strange? From Number One to Seven, aside from Number Seven who likely hasn’t emerged, even the identity of the mysterious Number Two has been confirmed to have made contact with you, hasn’t it?"

Su Chengyu was momentarily stunned, then after careful thought, he realized that did indeed seem to be the case.

After all, the identity of Number Two had almost been narrowed down within the Demon Slayer Department and Dragon Soul Department, and as someone now belonging to the Demon Slayer Department, Su Chengyu most likely had crossed paths with Number Two.

Feeling incapable of refutation, Su Chengyu looked at Bei Tang Qian Xiao and continued to inquire, "So what now?"

A glint of certainty flashed in Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s eyes as she asserted, "In my opinion, to fully uncover the identity of everyone, you are the key person to break the impasse! You might even be the clue that Taoist Qingxuzi deliberately left for us."
