Chapter 1544: Chapter 1545: Killing Just One Person

Luo Changping did not speak and vanished from Su Chengyu’s line of sight; within the entire Great Formation, Su Chengyu could no longer find the figure of this Sixth Grade Martial Emperor.

It wasn’t that he might not make a move again, but he definitely would not expose his identity and act as overtly as he did this time.

This fellow is also watching.

Watching whether I can be the person who can save Xu Nanzhi.

"Brother Su..."

"Call me Chengyu."

Su Chengyu interrupted directly; the two had known each other for some time, and this time Zhuang Yihan even came voluntarily to help. It would be too formal for Su Chengyu to still treat him as an outsider.

"Chengyu, what did you mean by saying that a Saint Envoy must leave today?"

Su Chengyu turned his head with a smile and said, "Within the Capital City, who else has the power to pull together the Ancient Clans and possess so much information, if not the Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary?"

Zhuang Yihan fell silent and did not speak, guessing at Su Chengyu’s thoughts, who continued, "Indeed, besides the Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary, there are others who could do such a thing, but I do not believe they have a reason to act."

"You already have a suspect within the Demon Slayer Department?"

"Yes."

Su Chengyu spoke softly, then looked in the direction of the northeast gate, "Two people, but which one specifically? I need to see with my own eyes to know."

Zhuang Yihan frowned and said, "Do you still plan to take the initiative to act?"

"Without Luo Changping and Xiao Yuanfeng, two Martial Emperors acting, they will need a lot of time to break the formation. Dealing with the culprits before the formation is breached is the best way to put an end to tonight’s matters."

"But..."

Boom!

A huge booming sound erupted from another side; even with the Array Eye acting as a barrier, the massive shockwave still made its way here.

Eight directions were guarded by Hollow Vacuum, although two had left, the attacks from the other locations remained extremely fierce.

"Yihan, I know this is asking a lot, but can you help me hold one location?"

Zhuang Yihan let out a light laugh and replied, "Isn’t that why I came here? But to be honest, I can only hold one location; my strength..."

What Su Chengyu carelessly tossed at him was the Wasteland Battle Halberd in his hand, a bold and sudden action that made Zhuang Yihan freeze in place, looking at Su Chengyu in disbelief.

He never thought that Su Chengyu would be willing to lend an Immortal Artifact to him.

Su Chengyu responded with a smile, "You risk your life to help me; what’s an Immortal Artifact compared to that? Could it be more important than my life?"

"But..."

"Rest assured, the Wasteland Battle Halberd for me is now just icing on the cake, a means to increase my offensive options. Although you won’t be able to wield it directly, just by letting it act autonomously, it can still provide you with no small amount of help."

Zhuang Yihan took a deep breath looking at the candid Su Chengyu and nodded emphatically, "I will not fail you."

Su Chengyu smiled and patted Zhuang Yihan’s shoulder: "Remember, staying alive is what’s most important."

"Got it!"

After dropping this sentence, the two parted ways.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Artifact Spirit of the Wasteland Battle Halberd was obviously somewhat dissatisfied, but also understood that Su Chengyu’s action was a necessary move under the circumstances.

After all, even with the protection of the Great Formation, the likelihood of Zhuang Yihan resisting an invasion by a Hollow Void Realm cultivator was almost impossible.

Zhuang Yihan would not pose a problem. Like a Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu would only leave a mess behind for the Wasteland Battle Halberd to handle. The temporary combination of Zhuang Yihan and the Wasteland Battle Halberd could actually be seen as mutually beneficial.

"Kid, don’t hold me back later, or else I won’t care whether you live or die."

The voice of the Artifact Spirit sounded in Zhuang Yihan’s mind, causing him a moment of startlement. Quickly regaining his composure, Zhuang Yihan took a deep breath and said, "Senior, please rest assured."

In the midst of their conversation, a man and a halberd had already appeared at the location of the southwest gate. The one attempting to breach the gate was a third-level cultivator of the Hollow Void Realm, just one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the realm.

Dressed in a black robe without any hint of an Immortal’s aura, his techniques and methods were more akin to an assassin on the battlefield.

Zhuang Yihan felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at this man but could not recall his name at the moment. The man had already spotted Zhuang Yihan the instant he appeared, and his figure vanished immediately, reappearing right behind Zhuang Yihan the next second. His Magic Artifact emerged along with his figure, swiftly striking towards Zhuang Yihan’s back.

Clang!

"Focus! I’m not here to clean up your mess!"

The Wasteland Battle Halberd collided with the King-grade Divine Artifact, emitting intense golden light from the friction. Zhuang Yihan came to his senses and retreated dozens of meters with a swift step.

Zhuang Yihan looked at the King-grade Divine Artifact that clashed with the Wasteland Battle Halberd without falling short and, with surprise in his eyes, finally recalled that this Emei Dagger-like Magic Artifact was that famously known artifact.

"Han Tianshi?"

The unmasked man in black curved the corners of his mouth and holding the Emei Dagger, chuckled and said, "Impressive eye power. I didn’t expect there to be young people in the Capital City who recognize the artifact of my sect."

Zhuang Yihan furrowed his brows and said, "The treasured legacy of the Shadow Thorn Gate, how could I not recognize it? Since you possess Han Tianshi, then you must be the leader of the Shadow Thorn Gate, Elder Ying, right?"

The Shadow Thorn Gate had existed in Xia Country for an exceedingly long time, and it could be said that all assassin organizations in the history of Xia Country were intricately linked to the current Shadow Thorn Gate.

However, the Shadow Thorn Gate truly established itself in Xia Country and formed an official division under the name of the Shadow Stinger only over three hundred years ago.

Yin Mo was one of the founders of the Shadow Thorn Gate three hundred years ago.

All this information was clearly recorded in the archives of the Dragon Soul Department, and Zhuang Yihan remembered it clearly.

"Correct. It’s been many years since I last came to the Capital City. To encounter someone like you among the young generation here makes my visit worthwhile indeed," said Yin Mo.

Zhuang Yihan, with his eyebrows tightly knit, looked at Yin Mo and spoke, "Yin Mo, the Shadow Thorn Gate has always been tacitly allowed to exist by the officials because you do not commit overly egregious acts. But do you know the consequences of successfully assassinating a Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary?"

"Of course I know, but I also have reasons that compel me to act," Yin Mo replied.

"What reasons?"

Zhuang Yihan continued to press.

With a smirk, Yin Mo said, "Just because I admire you doesn’t mean I will tell you everything. If you want to know the answer, speak with your fists."

"Then I hope you won’t take offense, Senior!"

As his words fell, Zhuang Yihan’s figure instantly appeared beside Yin Mo, his fist gathering strength and targeting Yin Mo’s face.

Seeing Zhuang Yihan’s inexperienced technique, Yin Mo laughed slightly. After a spin, he wrapped around Zhuang Yihan’s body and forcefully slammed him to the ground.

Spurt!

Blood splattered, and with just one hit, Zhuang Yihan was severely wounded by this elder of the Shadow Thorn Gate. The immense gap in strength left him completely powerless against Yin Mo.

Gazing coldly at Zhuang Yihan, Yin Mo spoke in a soft voice, "Do you know why you’re still alive?"

Battered, Zhuang Yihan looked up at Yin Mo, not understanding.

"This time in the Capital, I came to kill only Su Chengyu."
