Chapter 1577: Chapter 1578: Traces of Feng Jie Yu

Returning from the Capital City, Su Chengyu ultimately did not continue to press on that question.

The seemingly unanswered response from Xu Zijing already provided a clear and singular answer.

Su Linyuan.

The Grand Ancestor established the nation with many credited as national heroes.

Ye Wujiang, Qiu Tianlin, the former State Preceptor the carefree Taoist, the Military God Li Pingnan... but undoubtedly, the most special and with the greatest contributions was none other than Su Linyuan.

Without Su Linyuan, at that time, Xia Country would not have been possible to gain the support of the Bei Luo Empire, without Su Linyuan, Xia Country would even less likely have obtained the recognition of the Ancient Clan, establishing a friendly relationship.

Even the Earth Immortals who now guard the frontier lands, most of them established this connection with the Xia Country officials because of Su Linyuan.

And that’s only what’s visible, the establishment of systems, embryonic forms of the dual departments... all of these can be said to be inextricably linked with Su Linyuan.

Does Zhao Xuanzhen want to become the next Su Linyuan?

It can be said that without Su Linyuan, even if the Grand Ancestor had a ruthlessly keen vision, he definitely could not have reshaped the legitimate rule of Xia Country amidst the chaos of that era.

Su Chengyu’s expression dimmed, thinking of his grandfather’s last look before vanishing within the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, remaining silent for a long time.

A sleepless night passed, but he still could not comprehend the implied meaning behind Zhao Xuanzhen’s words.

He could only temporarily suppress his doubts and first made a trip to the Demon Slayer Department.

The Demon Slayer Saint Envoy, even without being assigned a task, needs to report his departure from the Capital.

What one is going to do may not need to be detailed, but the general destination must still be reported to the department.

The inconveniences of being a public servant rest here, and the department Su Chengyu belongs to is even more special.

Fortunately, Yang Chengyin is no longer in the department now.

After being encircled for assassination, Yang Chengyin left the Demon Slayer Department as if to avoid suspicions, his whereabouts unknown. Otherwise, Su Chengyu would have needed to be more mentally prepared for this visit.

After completing his report, Su Chengyu came out and just happened to see Yang Qianyan’s figure.

The moment their four eyes crossed, Yang Qianyan did not utter any word and turned around to leave the inside of the Demon Slayer Department.

"Thinking of approaching him but are hesitant because of Yang Junmo?"

Xu Zijing’s voice, tinged with teasing, broke Su Chengyu’s train of thoughts.

Su Chengyu shook his head, looking at Xu Zijing who had popped up unexpectedly and spoke again: "No, I understand that asking him would be fruitless, it’s just..."

"If you want to ask about Sect Master’s matters, then there’s even less of a need, you won’t find out anything."

Su Chengyu looked up at Xu Zijing in surprise.

Xu Zijing slowly began to speak: "The person who organized the assassination was Mo Ningchen, it’s clear to anyone with eyes that Mo Ningchen could not possibly have acted on his own accord, there must surely be the Sect Master’s intentions behind this. But everyone is even more certain that if the Sect Master had this intention, it is because of His Majesty."

"That’s why this matter did not impact the Sect Master in the slightest."

Su Chengyu spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Yes, the Sect Master is taking the blame for His Majesty; naturally, His Majesty will not fault him. Many things are like this, no words are needed to reach a consensus. But..."

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu raised his head to look at Xu Zijing.

"Don’t underestimate the Sect Master, Yang Qianyan’s methods might still be immature, but if the Sect Master indeed wanted to kill you, he absolutely wouldn’t do it like this time, allowing you to detect his involvement."

Upon hearing these words, Su Chengyu chuckled: "The Sect Master still has to fear me, a Saint Envoy?"

Xu Zijing shook his head upon hearing this: "You really don’t understand, eh? Killing you is not a simple matter; there are too many things involved now."

"Hm?"

Su Chengyu was taken aback for a moment. The news of his master’s passing was already known to him, and the Demon Slayer Department should not have been without any hints. Could it be because of Aunt Feng?

"Is there any news from Aunt Feng’s side?"

Xu Zijing smiled and glanced at Su Chengyu, clearly satisfied with his quick reaction, and nodded: "There is a message from a spy of the Demon Slayer Department in the Dark Sea, Feng Jie Yu was seen returning from the Dark Sea with a mysterious person. Unfortunately, the other party has a high anti-surveillance awareness; after appearing for an instant, we lost track of them again and couldn’t confirm who it was. However..."

"However what?"

Su Chengyu asked eagerly.

"Besides discovering strong spatial fluctuations at the location where the two appeared, we also found three Nether Stones of Earth Immortal Level."

It was like a buzzing sound exploding in Su Chengyu’s mind. He naturally understood Feng Jie Yu’s strength; after recovery, she indeed possessed the ability to kill an Earth Immortal, but facing three at once— even if they were just initiates of the Ascending Dao Realm, Feng Jie Yu definitely couldn’t manage such a feat.

"That mysterious man is also an Earth Immortal."

"It is very likely so. However, our spies within the department have searched afterwards but found no further traces, which is really baffling."

Xu Zijing lifted his eyes to Su Chengyu; although he spoke of confusion, his expression seemed to suggest that he understood it all.

Su Chengyu quickly realized: "You mean, Aunt Feng and that person deliberately showed themselves to be found."

"It’s possible. Our spies placed near the Dark Sea are indeed very alert, but to be honest, being able to lock onto an existence of the Earth Immortal Level is somewhat like deceiving ourselves."

Feng Jie Yu lived a solitary life with hardly any friends. How many Earth Immortal level powerhouses could there be who would travel with her?

The identity of the mysterious man irresistibly brought to mind Su Zhedian, who disappeared decades ago.

Even though people do not yet know the relationship between Su Chengyu and Su Zhedian, that Su Chengyu is the adopted son of Feng Jie Yu has become common knowledge.

This was a deterrent, a warning.

"Aunt Feng..."

Xu Zijing patted his shoulder: "Whether it is or not, you, my friend, sometimes have good luck. Otherwise, do you think the siege would have ended so quickly?"

"Hm."

Su Chengyu nodded without saying a word.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"To Luoshui."

"Oh~ to see your old flame? Does your junior sister know about this?"

Su Chengyu suddenly felt a chill, and then looked towards Xu Zijing.

Xu Zijing rolled his eyes and said, "Am I the type to gossip? But even if you haven’t told her, she probably understands. Since she hasn’t said anything, I couldn’t care less about your affairs. Just remember, Su Chengyu, if you dare let down junior sister’s feelings for you, I, Xu Zijing, will be the first to not let you off."

"Brother, rest assured."

Xu Zijing listened to Su Chengyu’s address and rolled his eyes, then turned and left, clearly too lazy to bother further.

After taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu also stepped out of the Demon Slayer Department, his mind still mulling over the information Xu Zijing had just told him, then turned to look in the direction of the Dark Sea.

Aunt Feng, have you found Father?

If you have, why haven’t you come to find me?
