Chapter 1557: Chapter 1558: Everyone’s Open Strategy

"How is this possible! You were clearly on the brink of death just now, how could you still have a trump card?"

The abyssal demon had witnessed everything that unfolded within Qilong Court from the shadows. He was fully aware that, had it not been for the arrival of Lin An and Xu Zijing, Su Chengyu would have been long dead. He could never have anticipated that Su Chengyu still had a means at his disposal.

With a cold sneer, Su Chengyu spoke, "There are some things I can’t use against them, but I don’t need so many reasons to use them against you."

"You..."

The abyssal demon’s face underwent a drastic change as he attempted to resist, but even if the Dragon Vein was weakened at the moment, Qiu Tianlin, who was once an Earth Immortal, was not someone that a mere remnant soul of the Demonic Path could resist.

Su Chengyu slowly approached the abyssal demon, his gaze falling on the Yu Jian on the ground, yet he did not act rashly.

His Divine Sense cautiously reached out, and as expected, as soon as Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense neared, a wisp of green smoke rose, and Cui Manlou’s familiar face instantly appeared before Su Chengyu.

"We meet again, Su Chengyu. Or perhaps, I should call you Lord Saint Envoy Tian Heng?"

There was undisguised mockery in his words, but Su Chengyu remained undisturbed inside, "Indeed, the Yu Jian is fake, but it’s the hiding of your own God’s Soul within it that’s real. Your soul must be connected to your physical body, right? You dare to enter the Capital City without fear of being traced back?"

Cui Manlou chuckled lightly, casually replying, "Without such capabilities, that Earth Immortal in your courtyard wouldn’t be able to do it either. Although I don’t know the reason, it’s very likely that he can’t leave the courtyard, presumably due to illness with his body."

"So what?" Su Chengyu continued to inquire.

Cui Manlou, who had been pacing with his hands behind his back, suddenly halted, turned around, and looked at Su Chengyu, "So, you’ve arranged for someone else to follow Lord of the Sect, right? Your tactics are indeed clever, we couldn’t find any trace at all. Even if it’s not an Earth Immortal, it must be someone who has found the Dao, right?"

So-called people who have found the Dao are those who have discovered the Immortal Ascension Road. Whether one can ascend or possess the stature of Celestial Beings will have a huge impact on their strength. They belong to the Peak of the Hollow Void.

Long Xuan, Ye Qingci, and Lin An, who had just attained the Hollow Void Realm, could dominate within the Hollow Void Realm, not even considered on the same level as the others, precisely because of this reason.

"It is an Earth Immortal."

Hearing this, Cui Manlou simply scoffed, "You say it is, so let it be. In any case, we can’t find the trace of the Lord of the Sect, which is a fact. Your move of feigning advance by retreating, actively relocating the Sect Hierarch out of the Capital City, indeed caught me off guard. Had it not been for this, I wouldn’t have risked this trip into the Capital."

"You finally agree to believe me, and to do this trade with me."

"The trade must be made, but there’s no need for belief. I had no choice but to step into your open plan, but our fundamental stances are ultimately unchanged."

The smile-laden words of Cui Manlou sent a chill through Su Chengyu’s heart, gazing upon the God’s Soul before him that he could easily destroy, yet he ultimately did not act recklessly.

As the other party had said, he too had reasons he could not ignore for contacting them.

"Speak then, what do you want to know? I’m not so pedantic as to refuse answering even about the affairs within the Interior of Demonic Dao. As long as you ask, I’ll try to tell you as much as possible," the abyssal demon offered.

"Oh? You would betray your comrades just like that?"

Cui Manlou smiled and said, "They wouldn’t mind. After a hundred years, they’ve long been eager for Xia Country to make a move against them."

"Dressing up betrayal so righteously, you truly are shameless."

"You could choose not to ask."

Unaffected by Cui Manlou’s taunts, Su Chengyu spoke directly, "Tell me, where are the masters of the Three Mountains Nine Caves of the Demonic Path hiding? What are their respective realms?"

"How could I be certain of their realms? I haven’t met them all. But I know that a hundred years ago, half of those twelve were already Earth Immortals."

"Where is it?"

"Three Mountains, you know one, General Ridge. The other two are Zixiao Mountain and Green Jade Gorge."

Su Chengyu was familiar with Zixiao Mountain, which is one of the mountains in the Northeastern Seven Provinces, but it was the first time he heard of Green Jade Gorge.

As if knowing what Su Chengyu was thinking, Cui Manlou directly said, "Stop guessing, I’ll tell you directly. It’s one of the thirteen major mountains in Southern Xinjiang, a valley surrounded by mountains. Many have entered over the past century, but all have entered never to return."

The land of Southern Xinjiang has always been a perilous area for Xia Country, even more so than Qinling. Since the reemergence of the Demonic Path, Xia Country has always suspected the presence of the Demonic Path within Southern Xinjiang, but they have never found any trace. Now, at last, they know the specific location.

"What about the remaining nine caves?"

Cui Manlou rolled his eyes, "How would I know so much? I’ve met several of the Cave Masters, but I really don’t know all the specific locations of the Nine Caves."

"You..."

"Don’t rush, the place you most want to know about, I made a point of inquiring about before I came here. Azure Sky Cave, right?"

Su Chengyu paused and narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "How do you know that?"

With a cold snort, Cui Manlou walked over to sit down next to Qilong Court and calmly said, "The nosy old bull of Qingcheng Sect is seeking death, making such a fuss that the news is already all over the Demonic Path."

"Is the Master of Azure Sky Cave also an Earth Immortal?"

"What else? Would one kill a Hollow Vacuum and risk their own life? That old bull is surely not foolish to that extent, right?"

"Watch your mouth!"

Su Chengyu said through gritted teeth, unable to tolerate any further.

Sensing the murderous intent head-on, Cui Manlou finally toned it down a bit and said, "Between Daoist Cang Qing and the Master of Azure Sky Cave, it’s really hard to say who has higher strength. But the fact is, Daoist Cang Qing actively sought him out in Azure Sky Cave, and indeed, he had no chance of coming out alive."

"Where exactly is Azure Sky Cave!"

Su Chengyu asked urgently.

He was originally supposed to meet with Bai Qiu and Ao Tian in the Capital City, but because they couldn’t find the specific entrance to Azure Sky Cave, they had to change the meeting place to Luoshui.

In recent times, Su Chengyu has been monitoring the group’s situation using the Earth Core Lotus. Just two days ago, Mengmeng asked about Azure Sky Cave in the group, which obviously meant they still hadn’t found the specific whereabouts of the Master.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s impatient demeanor, Cui Manlou, who had always answered every question, suddenly stopped and smiling, looked up at Su Chengyu.

"I’ve said so much, isn’t it now your turn to speak?"

A frown crossed Su Chengyu’s brows; he stood still, realising why Cui Manlou had been so responsive, without any worry that Su Chengyu would turn his back on him after getting everything he wanted.

After all, this was Capital City, where he was but a Remnant Soul, and Su Chengyu, with Qiu Tianlin at his side, could easily dissipate this God’s Soul right now.

Cui Manlou was so brazen in coming here because he had calculated that Su Chengyu’s nature, once aware of the condition of True Master Cang Qing, would definitely break the pot to ask to the end.

"What if I tell you and then you turn around and leave?"

Smiling unabashedly, Cui Manlou said, "This is a matter of trust. But it doesn’t matter. You might not trust me, and I can wait. Whether you lose patience and scatter this God’s Soul or someone from the Demon Slayer Department or Dragon Soul Department comes to kill me, I don’t mind, it’s just a God’s Soul. However, you might never find out the exact location of Azure Sky Cave then. When the time comes, I’m afraid you won’t even manage to retrieve the body of that nosy old bull."
