Chapter 1558: Chapter 1559: Bixiao Cave

"You came to the Capital City reckoning that I couldn’t refuse?"

Listening to Su Chengyu’s words, Cui Manlou spread his hands and said: "It’s not like that. After all, although I have probed your strength several times, I do not know what kind of person you really are, or what position Cang Qing True Master holds in your heart."

Su Chengyu spoke sarcastically: "Yet you still dare to take such a risk?"

"It’s somewhat risky, but it’s not as bad as you describe. Even in the worst-case scenario, it would just mean the complete dissipation of this strand of God’s Soul, along with you losing some insignificant information. Compared to the benefits gained, it’s obviously still worth the risk."

"How insignificant it is. But even if I inform you of Yan’er’s whereabouts, how can I be sure that the information you give later won’t be a lie? In other words, how can you be sure that what I say is the truth?"

"I can rest assured on this matter. As I’ve said, those pieces of information are just insignificant to me, their value only depends on how much you value them. As to whether you are willing to tell the truth..."

Halfway through his sentence, Cui Manlou abruptly stopped, blinked at Su Chengyu and said: "Of course, I have my ways to discern whether you’re telling the truth or not. Naturally, I can’t tell you the method itself. You just need to understand that I definitely won’t reveal the intelligence of Azure Sky Cave to you before you disclose the real location."

Bluffing?

Looking at Cui Manlou behaving this way, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but suspect it.

After all, even Su Chengyu could not determine whether a Cultivator of Hollow Void strength was telling the truth or lies, his gaze turned puzzledly towards Qilong Court, hoping for Qiu Tianlin to give him some hints.

And soon he received a response from Qiu Tianlin that there was no way to verify the truth.

He couldn’t be certain of Cui Manlou’s capabilities, but judging from Qiu Tianlin’s experience in interrogation, such a thing was clearly possible.

Seeing that he couldn’t get a definite answer from Qiu Tianlin, Su Chengyu could only turn his attention back to Cui Manlou and after a long while, he spoke softly.

"I sent Yan’er and another disciple of mine overseas. There is a small island near Dongying where I had settled the Snake Tribe. With the Capital City in such a tumultuous state, I let Yan’er go there first."

Cui Manlou smiled, then looked at Su Chengyu and said: "Do I look like a person that’s so easy to deceive?"

Su Chengyu’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "You wouldn’t be planning to deny whatever I say and then just slip away, would you?"

The things Su Chengyu had just mentioned were half-truths. The Snake Tribe being overseas near Dongying was true, but the place he mentioned that Yan’er had gone to was false.

Mixing truth with lies was a test for Cui Manlou, and of course, it was natural.

However, listening to Su Chengyu’s words, Cui Manlou sighed and said: "I consider you the biggest stumbling block on the path to the resurgence of the Demonic Path. Why do you still view me as a minor figure in your eyes? I’m quite willing to make this deal, but if you’re not willing to do so, then forget it. I will take my leave."

After saying these words, Cui Manlou stood up, clearly having no intention of staying any longer. Seeing this, Su Chengyu finally couldn’t help but speak out.

"Wait!"

"Is there something else?"

Cui Manlou turned and asked while hovering in the air.

Su Chengyu was breathing heavily, pausing for several seconds before finally speaking: "Give me a moment to think."

"One quarter of an hour. If you’re still unwilling to speak after one quarter of an hour, then forget it. I don’t have time to waste here with you."

In the span of a quarter of an hour, Su Chengyu was caught in a fierce internal struggle.

On one side was Yan’er’s safety, on the other was Cang Qing True Master’s resolution. Su Chengyu didn’t want to easily give up either, but now such a dilemma was placed before him...

"Teacher..."

"Just ask your conscience, neither side will be wrong. Since there is no right or wrong, I cannot give you the answer."

If it were the Qiu Tianlin of the past, he might weigh the pros and cons, but the Qiu Tianlin who had long since become indifferent to life and death understood that between advantages and disadvantages, there were other things far more important.

And at this very moment, this was the exact issue Su Chengyu was facing.

It’s not about gain or loss, right or wrong.

It’s all about the heart.

In the span of a quarter of an hour, time had flashed by so swiftly that it was the first time in his life that Su Chengyu felt time could pass so quickly.

"Su Chengyu."

In the air was Cui Manlou’s urging voice; after Su Chengyu took a deep breath, he finally spoke.

"Yan’er and another one of my disciples are on their way to Qingqiu together."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this answer, Cui Manlou blinked and then chuckled: "It seems not to be a lie, yet it’s not entirely the truth either."

Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed tightly, daring not to utter another word, fearing that he would reveal anything more.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s demeanor, Cui Manlou continued: "Where is Qingqiu?"

"I don’t know."

Cui Manlou squinted at Su Chengyu, then quickly caught on, laughing: "It’s the homeland of that Fox Demon beside you, isn’t it? You allowed those two to travel together, not even asking for the location before removing yourself from the equation, quite resolute indeed."

Su Chengyu remained silent. It was because he feared the emergence of such a scenario that he had not allowed Bai Huang to inform him of the whereabouts of Qingqiu.

"This is the truth; I’ve said all that I can," Su Chengyu finally looked up and told Cui Manlou.

Cui Manlou rolled his eyes: "Enough, it seems there’s indeed no useful information to be gained from you. That’s sufficient, the exact location of Azure Sky Cave is right here."

A Yu Jian landed in Su Chengyu’s hand, and before he had a chance to examine it closely, Cui Manlou continued: "Although you’re not fair, I’ll still give you an extra piece of information. It’s about the Azure Sky Cave Master. Ten years ago, he failed to breach Heaven’s Gate, his Demon Core covered in dust, his body harboring a lethal weakness. Knowing this weak spot, not only Cang Qing True Master but any ordinary Hollow Vacuum Cultivator could pose a great threat to him."

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu looked up at Cui Manlou with a doubtful expression.

With a sly smile, Cui Manlou said: "Don’t look at me like that. What’s wrong with strife within the Interior of Demonic Dao? Eliminating that guy with your help naturally suits my interests."

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you. The location of his vulnerability is also included in the Yu Jian. Take it as you will. Demonic Abyss, let’s go."

After dropping these words, with a wave of his hand, Cui Manlou instantly disappeared from the spot alongside Demonic Abyss.

The Demonic Qi lingering in the air dissipated rapidly.

Only Su Chengyu was left holding the Yu Jian, speechless for a long time, looking towards the south and muttering: "Yan’er, you both must be safe."

Before heading to Qingqiu, Yan’er and Bai Huang had to first visit Longjiang and then head to Serpent People Island. It would be a while before they turned their course towards Qingqiu.

All Su Chengyu could do was relay the destinations that Yan’er would request to Cui Manlou, in exchange for clues about Cang Qing True Master.

Even so, Su Cheng, who had intended to visit Qingqiu later, could no longer afford to delay his journey.
