Chapter 1508: Chapter 1509: The Sacred Heart is as Deep as the Abyss

"Lin An?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback and looked at the token with an even stranger expression in his eyes.

"What? Did you really think that just because of the things you did in Bei Luo, His Majesty would be willing to let this token reappear in the Demon Slayer Department? This token is not just a mere Saint Envoy token. In the past, only the most prestigious individuals in the Demon Slayer Department, those His Majesty trusted the most, were qualified to hold this token. With it, even the elders of the Demon Slayer Department would hold you in awe."

Su Chengyu had already noticed this, but along with awe, he also saw Yang Chengyin’s hostility.

"But would the Sect Master allow someone like me to possess this token?"

"That depends on your abilities, and this is also His Majesty’s test for you."

A test?

Su Chengyu sneered inwardly.

He, a Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary, was to touch upon the reverse scale of the current Demon Slayer Officer, facing off against the Peak of the Hollow Void as a mere middle-stage Nascent Soul practitioner.

What kind of sure-to-die test was this?

Indeed, Su Chengyu joined the Demon Slayer Department with Yang Chengyin in mind.

However, Ye Qingci had repeatedly admonished him to never reveal any hostility towards Yang Chengyin without certainty and sufficient evidence. Now, even without having firmly established his footing, he had already become the thorn in Yang Chengyin’s eye.

"Scared?"

Xu Zijing asked with a playful smiling tone.

Su Chengyu shook his head. He knew Lin An meant well, but she was clearly too eager. Right now, he was too much in Yang Chengyin’s spotlight, which was not a good thing at all. It would make his covert investigation into Yang Chengyin even more difficult.

"In fact, it’s not as bad as you think... or perhaps you thought too well of it before. The Sect Master, indeed because of Ms. Feng’s sake, didn’t overtly show hostility towards you, but in fact, he has never completely trusted you. This token merely acts as a catalyst."

Su Chengyu of course understood this, but still...

"Let’s hope, as you said, it doesn’t have much impact."

Su Chengyu sighed and finally spoke.

Watching Su Chengyu like this, Xu Zijing chuckled lightly, reminded of the scene when Lin An came to discuss this matter with him.

"How did you know the Demon Slayer Department has this token?"

After listening to Lin An’s idea, Xu Zijing started with a puzzled question.

"Senior Brother! It’s me asking you, not you asking me!"

Knowing Lin An’s temperament, Xu Zijing could only surrender helplessly.

After that, he not only analyzed the pros and cons of the token for Su Chengyu but even speculated whether His Majesty would agree.

Lin An blinked and pondered for a moment before saying, "If that’s the case, then I’ll go and ask my father. If I pester him for a few days, he should agree."

Xu Zijing replied upon hearing this, "Aren’t you worried about putting Su Chengyu in danger?"

Lin An gave him a glance, "When I advised him not to go to the Capital City, why didn’t he say it was dangerous? What’s this talk about danger now?"

"Do you really trust him that much?"

Xu Zijing didn’t continue but instead asked back.

Only then did Lin An gradually become solemn and looked towards the north, "This man Zhao Ziyuan has set her sights on, he’s not lacking in ability!"

"Don’t let down Lin An’s expectations of you."

Xu Zijing raised his hand and patted Su Chengyu’s shoulder, speaking earnestly.

Su Chengyu nodded firmly and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let Lin An down."

Xu Zijing smiled without saying anything more and turned to find the Dragon Registrar to discuss the matter of conferring titles upon Su Chengyu and the other two.

At this moment, within the Qianjun Grand Hall.

"The Honored One, that Token..."

"It belonged to the previous Sect Master, and the name ’Tian Heng’ was also bestowed by the late Emperor."

Mo Ningchen’s expression turned extremely unsightly as he said, "Could it be that His Majesty wishes to make Su Chengyu the second Xu Zijing?"

"Him, as Xu Zijing? He is not worthy!"

Yang Chengyin said with a cold laugh, clearly not entertaining such a thought.

Mo Ningchen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Then what exactly does His Majesty intend by this?"

"The Emperor knows I do not wish to see this Token within the Demon Slayer Department, so he wants to use my hand to eliminate Su Chengyu."

Mo Ningchen looked up in astonishment, "If His Majesty has this intention, why doesn’t he take action himself?"

"Our esteemed Emperor, of course, does not wish to fall out with his own daughter, nor does he wish to completely rupture ties with his own Ms. Feng."

Mo Ningchen finally understood, "His Majesty wishes to kill by borrowing another’s hand, but isn’t Feng Jie Yu, Ms. Feng, behind that Su Chengyu? If the Sect Master takes action against him, wouldn’t Ms. Feng..."

Yang Chengyin glanced at Mo Ningchen, "If the Emperor wants to kill by borrowing another’s hand, then we must be his sharp blade. Moreover, the Emperor has already given me a reason I cannot ignore to move against him."

Zhao Xuanzhen knew that Yang Chengyin did not wish for the Token to reappear within the Demon Slayer Department, but what Zhao Xuanzhen did not know was...

The reason Yang Chengyin did not wish to see this Token again was not due to any personal grudges, but rather because it bore a secret about him that he could not allow anyone to know.

Right now, Su Chengyu’s Realm isn’t sufficient to unveil the secret hidden within the Token.

But what if Su Chengyu reached the Peak of the Hollow Vacuum, or even becomes an Earth Immortal?

He would absolutely not allow this secret to be known by anyone, not even by the present Heavenly Son!

"Qian Jun."

"Your subordinate is here."

"I want him dead, and his death must be unnoticed by gods or ghosts, do you understand what I mean?"

He immediately realized that Yang Chengyin intended to entrust the task of killing Su Chengyu to him, and his expression turned exceedingly grave.

Seeing this, Yang Chengyin spoke softly, "Qian Jun, you don’t think that Su Chengyu doesn’t know it was you who provided the information about his secret communications with Empress Irina? His strength may indeed be less than yours now and cannot do anything to you, but do you think he will forget this account in the future?"

These words caused Mo Ningchen’s eyes to narrow, as he began to weigh the pros and cons.

Yang Chengyin continued, "Don’t think that just because you are not on the same path, avoiding further contact will ensure peace. Speaking from experience, I can tell you with responsibility, since you are not on the same path, even if there are no conflicts of interest now, there will inevitably come a day when you two are bound to cross swords."

Mo Ningchen looked up and asked, without thinking, "Has the Sect Master also encountered someone similar?"

"Of course, and you certainly know that person as well."

"Who?"

"One half of the Demon Slayer Department’s ’Twin Prides,’ Su Zhedian."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ningchen’s eyes widened with shock and, after the shock subsided, he immediately knelt down and excitedly said.

"Sect Master, I didn’t ask anything just now, I didn’t hear a thing! Sect Master, please eradicate this memory for me, I..."

"No need to be nervous."

Yang Chengyin placed his hand on Mo Ningchen’s left shoulder, slowly helping him up.

"Since I am willing to tell you this, it naturally means I trust you completely. Besides, you’ve been looking for a way to advance to Martial God recently, haven’t you? Once this matter is successfully concluded, I will ensure your promotion to Martial God."

Mo Ningchen swallowed hard, and his heart began to waver...
