Chapter 1523: Chapter 1524: The Shackles of One’s Life Story

Shen Qin watched Su Chengyu speeding towards him and subconsciously tightened his grip on the peach blossom in his hand.

He understood the gap between himself and the man before him; all he could do in the face of such a strike was to barely cling to life, nothing more.

However, just as Shen Qin was about to fight desperately, those mountain spirits and wild monsters who had been hesitant until now did not hesitate to leave Shen Qin’s body, causing the mana within his body to plummet more than just a whole level in an instant.

"Truly, in the face of disaster, every being flies apart."

With an indifferent tone ringing in his ears, Su Chengyu’s strike pierced straight through Shen Qin’s body.

With his eyes widened, Shen Qin looked down at himself to see a large hole in his abdomen that had nearly split his body in two. Su Chengyu’s blow had not only directly destroyed his Dantian but had also affected his Sea of Consciousness, causing severe damage to Shen Qin’s Divine Sense.

Even so, Su Chengyu did not let his guard down. He turned his head and aimed the Wasteland Battle Technique at the back of Shen Qin’s head, speaking coldly, "Given your association with the Demonic Path, I should, by all means, spare your life."

Shen Qin sneered, "But I presume you won’t take me to the Demon Slayer Department, will you?"

"Didn’t you also make preparations for this, hence you made this move? Has everything been arranged with the main Shen Clan as well?"

Shen Qin glanced at Su Chengyu, "Of course, after this incident, my Shen Clan will fully ally with the Demonic Path. You won’t be so lucky when we meet again."

"Whether I’m lucky or not, I don’t know, but you definitely won’t get to see it."

A strike blasted directly into Shen Qin’s head, instantly shattering his body into pieces.

The petals of the peach blossom began to disappear, and the countless fragments of Shen Qin’s body also fell to the ground, with only the peach blossom branch floating in the air unaffected.

Su Chengyu collected the unowned peach blossom branch into his minor world and then leaped down, looking at the hundreds of frantic members of the Demon Clan and said coldly, "For those of the Demon Clan who fled last, I grant you the time it takes for an incense to burn; anyone who hasn’t left by then will bear the consequences."

The mountain spirits and wild monsters who left Shen Qin’s body on Hua Wan’s order knew that Su Chengyu would arrange an escape route for them. However, for those who sensed Shen Qin’s defeat and chose to save themselves by leaving, Su Chengyu naturally had no obligation to bear any responsibility for them.

Hearing Su Chengyu’s words, these panicked mountain spirits and wild monsters naturally fled in all directions.

Su Chengyu watched this all unfold with a cold detachment, ultimately not pursuing them to the bitter end.

For one thing, Su Chengyu understood that their allegiance to the Shen Clan was largely driven by the overall environment of Xia Country.

Secondly, there is indeed some difference between mountain spirits and pure Demon Clan members. Most spirits born from flora rarely threaten humans; doing so doesn’t bring them any benefit, which is why the old Demon Slayer Department did not completely eradicate such beings.

After landing beside Yang Junmo, who was struggling with some prohibitions, Su Chengyu slightly frowned, then turned to look in Hua Wan’s direction and asked, "Do you have a way to unlock this prohibition?"

Hua Wan was still somewhat wary of Su Chengyu, standing beside Bai Huang without daring to come closer, she just shook her head, then seemed to recall something and said.

"The prohibition Lord Shen used to set, there might be a connection with that peach blossom branch."

"Peach blossom branch?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu took out the peach blossom branch again and indeed found an aura on the prohibition that was connected to the peach blossom branch.

With Shen Qin’s death, Su Chengyu, of course, could now freely manipulate the ownerless peach branch.

Using the guidance of the peach blossom branch, he quickly found the key to the prohibition and stripped away a hidden strand of Demonic Qi.

The violent Demonic Qi was extremely agitated, even more so than when Su Chengyu personally faced the General Mountain Master. Su Chengyu could only suppress it straight into the peach branch.

With the suppression of the King-grade Divine Artifact, the Demonic Qi finally settled down completely.

"It seems that the Shen Clan’s connection with the Demonic Path is deeper than I initially thought."

Su Chengyu murmured to himself, then fully secured the peach branch. Until the Demonic Qi on the branch was completely resolved, this King-grade Divine Artifact could not be used by him.

"It’s not surprising. After all, having lain dormant for a hundred years, during this time the Demon Slayer Department has also uprooted quite a number of families and aristocratic families related to the Demonic Path. However, a big fish like the Shen Clan surfacing is still a first."

Having spent these few months in the Capital City, Yang Junmo had evidently been following some of this news closely and was even more informed than Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, looking at the now freed Su Chengyu, smiled: "Knowing how chaotic the world is now, you still don’t focus on improving your realm. Aren’t you just making trouble for yourself?"

Yang Junmo said helplessly: "Who knew these dogs would be so blind as to even dare to lay hands on me. It’s absolutely lawless. Seems I can’t stay in the Golden Core Realm anymore; truly, it’s time for the Tribulation. The pressure is enormous."

"You’re feeling the pressure? You’ve been holding back your Nascent Soul Tribulation for quite a while now; crossing the Tribulation is just a matter of minutes for you."

Yang Junmo gave a sidelong glance and said: "The pressure I feel isn’t about crossing the Tribulation."

Seeing Yang Junmo’s ambiguous words, Su Chengyu didn’t continue to feign ignorance and directly asked, "You’ve indeed sensed something, haven’t you?"

Seeing Su Chengyu put it that way, Yang Junmo no longer avoided the topic and said, "In the past, I couldn’t be bothered to concentrate on cultivation because I had an elder brother above me, and there was no need for me to worry about family matters."

"What about later?"

In the past, although Yang Junmo was not serious about cultivation, he was certainly not neglecting it. But now, he was clearly resistant.

"Later? Later, of course, it’s because I don’t want to cultivate anymore. There’s a pile of troublesome matters, either to be pulled in to confront the Demonic Path like my elder brother or even to align with them. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even have to face you with sword drawn. I just can’t figure out, how did you manage to offend my father?"

Looking at Yang Junmo’s troubled expression, Su Chengyu laughed.

In the end, the guy spoke his mind.

"I don’t know, maybe your father just doesn’t like the look of me," Su Chengyu said.

"Impossible."

Yang Junmo declared, "My father has always disliked everyone; just disliking someone wouldn’t make him want to deal with you. I initially thought to stay out of your troubles, since with your cultivation speed, after a while even if I wanted to intervene, I surely wouldn’t be able to. It seems I’ve misunderstood something."

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu asked with interest.

Yang Junmo sat down on the mountain top and, gazing at the sunset that was about to end in the distance, softly said: "I never understood why Ye Qingci cared so much about cultivation. Clearly born a woman, clearly having such an excellent elder brother in the family, why she still needed to prove herself so much. To be honest, I think there’s something wrong with her mind."

Unable to help himself, Su Chengyu laughed: "Would you dare to say that in front of the Cold Moon Envoy?"

The moment he heard that, Yang Junmo immediately got anxious: "You’d better not snitch, if you do, there’ll be no end to this with me."

Su Chengyu continued with a light laugh: "How about now?"

Yang Junmo’s expression gradually calmed down as he said softly: "Now I kind of understand, whether I want to stay out of it or protect one side, if I don’t have the basic strength, I have no right to choose at all. My background really brought me a lot of conveniences, but it is also the biggest shackle on me."
