Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Make a Deal
Two demon generals, accompanied by snake people, surged toward Su Chengyu to attack. Su Chengyu conjured the Dragon Slayer Sword, its blade sweeping out, and with a stroke of pacifying Sword Qi, he pushed back the snake people, saying, "I’m not here to disrupt the sacrifice, nor am I with those outsiders attacking us. I just want the True Dragon Divine Bone. There’s no need for us to come to blows upon meeting, is there?"
"Every member of the Human Clan deserves to die," said one of the snake people, bristling with killing intent.
"Queen Capia, let’s not be hasty. Could you listen until I’ve finished speaking?" Su Chengyu called out loudly.
Queen Capia, who had already opened her eyes, spoke, "What do you want to say..."
Seeing that Queen Capia had spoken, the snake people didn’t make another move against Su Chengyu, but they remained extremely vigilant, encircling Su Chengyu with a watchful gaze.
"The people attacking from outside are from the Yu Clan, led by Yu Feng, the favored grandson of the Yu Clan’s chief, wielding the Yu Clan’s Divine Artifact: the Mountain and River Cauldron. Your people won’t be able to hold them off. Yu Feng has vowed to cleanse the Snake Spirit Desert with blood, exterminate the snake people, and seize both the True Dragon Divine Bone and your own life’s serpent bone. The fate of the Snake Tribe is sealed, beyond redemption. The downfall of the Snake Tribe is today!"
Su Chengyu bluntly analyzed the current situation for Queen Capia.
"I don’t need you to analyze the situation for me. I believe in my people, and even if it comes to the last one, we will not retreat," she said.
Queen Capia’s eyes shimmered with a emerald light, and Su Chengyu didn’t dare to look directly into her eyes for fear of falling victim to her petrification spell.
"As the queen of the Snake Tribe, surely you do not wish to see your people eradicated? I would like to propose a trade. I can ensure that the Snake Tribe isn’t wiped out and can continue to thrive within the Kunwu Realm," Su Chengyu said.
Although the Snake Queen was both ruthless and ferocious, she cherished her people dearly. Having been revered as the queen, it was her duty to lead the Snake Tribe and ensure its proliferation and strength.
Su Chengyu’s words struck a chord with Queen Capia, touching on her deepest concerns.
"With your power, do you really think you can repel the formidable enemies from the Yu Clan?" Queen Capia said coldly and dismissively.
"I cannot," Su Chengyu admitted frankly.
"Then how can you ensure their safety?" Queen Capia asked.
Su Chengyu summoned the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, a scroll that floated in the air, slowly unfolding, emitting a faint cyan light.
"This is the treasure that protects Mount Qingcheng, the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map. Within the painting, a space exists on its own. I can take the surviving snake people away, to evade this catastrophe. If the Snake Tribe does not perish, it can continue to flourish; otherwise, they will face certain extinction."
Su Chengyu knew that he stood no chance in forcibly taking the True Dragon Divine Bone, so he came up with this proposition to trade with Queen Capia. Whether she would agree or not, he had no idea, but it was a risk worth taking.
"Your Majesty The Queen, the Human Clan is despicable and untrustworthy, they never keep their word. We must not believe his lies. There’s still hope; perhaps the Second Elder, with the power of the Spirit Snake Banner, will be able to repel the enemy. We can’t give up," said the High Priest.
The High Priest was an elderly female snake person with a face full of wrinkles, and her piercing triangular eyes glared at Su Chengyu with killing intent and loathing.
With a sigh, Queen Capia said, "High Priest, there’s no need to console me. The premature opening of the Kunwu Realm is fated, and the great calamity that has befallen the Snake Tribe is unavoidable."
"Even so, we are willing to follow Her Majesty to death. Should Your Majesty perish, the Snake Tribe will lose its faith," the High Priest declared.
The four elders at the altar and the other snake people all expressed their determination to follow their queen and face death together.
Queen Capia spoke with conviction, "I have the responsibility to protect the Snake Tribe; this is my mission. I absolutely cannot allow the Snake Tribe to be completely wiped out."
"Even so, this human lad cannot be trusted. Her Majesty The Queen, the Snake Tribe no longer has any way out. We might as well fight until our last breath rather than let the Human Clan take advantage of us," the High Priest said through gritted teeth.
The bizarre emerald light in Queen Capia’s eyes gradually receded as she spoke softly, "I believe in him."
"Why? Humans are despicable and untrustworthy," both the High Priest and the Elders could not understand.
Su Chengyu himself was also somewhat taken aback. Did Queen Capia just say she trusts him?
Queen Capia asked Su Chengyu, "The sword in your hand. Is it the Dragon Slayer Sword?"
"Yes!"
Su Chengyu nodded and with a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Slayer Sword flew from his hand, and a Shadow of the True Dragon emerged from the sword, emitting a dragon’s roar.
"It indeed is the Dragon Slayer Sword; it seems you are that man’s descendant," Queen Capia said.
"Do you know my grandfather?" Su Chengyu was taken aback and asked in surprise.
"You could say I know him... High Priest, you should recognize this sword as well, shouldn’t you?" Queen Capia spoke to the High Priest.
The High Priest, looking at the Dragon Slayer Sword exuding a deep blue glow, nodded, "Indeed, it is the Dragon Slayer Sword."
Su Chengyu thought carefully; that’s not right. Before his grandfather reach the Hollow Realm, he was always reading in the Su Clan’s library and never left. Before entering the library, he hadn’t yet begun his path to enlightenment, his talent was mediocre, and it was impossible for him to have entered the Kunwu Realm for trials. After stepping into the Land Immortal Realm and entering the second layer of the Kunwu Realm for his trials, how could he have met Queen Capia?
A surge of perplexity filled Su Chengyu’s heart... But since there was some connection, and Queen Capia was willing to trust him, it wasn’t easy to delve too deeply. He decided to finalize the deal first!
"Your grandfather, when he was undergoing trials in the Kunwu Realm, once visited the Snake Spirit Desert, also in pursuit of the True Dragon Divine Bone. At that time, I wasn’t the queen of the Snake Tribe yet. Your grandfather was perhaps the most astonishing human genius I had ever seen. He once battled the previous Snake Queen. With his Golden Core Realm, he defeated the Demon Emperor Stage Queen and took three treasures from our Snake Tribe. Both I and the High Priest witnessed that battle with our own eyes," Queen Capia said with a hint of reminiscence.
"How many years ago was that?" Su Chengyu couldn’t help asking.
"Over forty years... Now when I think of it, it feels just like yesterday," Queen Capia said.
Su Chengyu secretly wondered; over forty years ago, that definitely couldn’t have been his grandfather, Su Linyuan. Over forty years ago, his grandfather was already in the Land Immortal Realm. How could he have come to the first layer of the Kunwu Realm?
At that moment, the Artifact Spirit of the Dragon Slayer Sword conveyed a thought to Su Chengyu, "I suddenly remember some past events. The person she’s talking about is not your grandfather but your father, Su Zhedian. When he came to the Kunwu Realm for his trials, your master gave me to him. Your father acquired the True Dragon Divine Bone, the lifebound serpent bone, and the Ten-thousand-year-old Snake Spirit Green Crystal from the Snake Tribe, crafting a Flying Sword and naming it the Sky-splitting Sword."
"That’s how it is!"
Su Chengyu’s confusion cleared, and his doubts were resolved.
"Her Majesty The Queen, if it was over forty years ago, then the person was not my grandfather but my father," Su Chengyu stated truthfully.
