“Zijing, do you really think that Su Chengyu and the other two can stop the Bam Alliance’s offensive in the Thousand Tents City?”
Amidst Mount Belsar, the tallest peak of Bei Luo, the middle-aged man’s calm words hardly seed to reflect that a great battle was imminent.
Hearing this, Xu Zijing nodded and replied, “I can’t guarantee it one hundred percent, but apart from staying personally in Thousand Tents City, I believe no one could do it better than him.”
“Even Ye Qingci can’t?”
Yang Chengyin imdiately retorted.
“It’s feasible to suppress by force, but Ye Qingci in the Nascent Soul Realm absolutely can’t.”
“Hmph, in the end, you just want to pass this favor with Bei Luo to him, making him the second Xu Zijing of Bei Luo Empire.”
Yang Chengyin softly voiced his thoughts, but Xu Zijing shook his head: “He can’t be the second, I am always a special existence in Bei Luo, just like the Red Robed High Priest can only communicate through , no one can replace that.
But I believe he can do sothing different.”
“Reason.”
Yang Chengyin asked plainly.
“Ask one’s own heart.”
“Do you an to say that the others in the Demon Slayer Departnt do not take the tasks of the departnt to heart?”
“Sect Master, it’s not about not taking it to heart but the lack of empathy.
Even including , the envoys in the departnt can’t and won’t empathize with others.
Whether it’s , Lone Star, or even Qian Jun, we are all people whose duties outweigh emotions.
Cold Moon Envoy, seeming indifferent, might feel touched inside, but she has suppressed her emotions for decades and is used to repressing her feelings.
No need to ntion the others, they are indeed less likely to waver on departnt’s tasks over personal feelings.”
“But Su Chengyu will.”
“Yes, this is what makes him special, and why I believe he is the only one who could possibly turn the tide in Thousand Tents City now.”
“How can he turn the tide?”
Yang Chengyin continued to ask.
Xu Zijing shook his head: “I don’t know, Bei Luo has its secrets, so of which even I haven’t deeply explored or can’t explore.
How far Su Chengyu can probe depends ultimately on him.”
Yang Chengyin chuckled lightly and finally glanced sideways at the envoy appointed by the Heavenly Son to the Demon Slayer Departnt and asked, “What if he fails?”
“At worst, he can still ensure the safety of Princess Irina, with the foundation unshaken.
Even if severely weakened, Bei Luo will definitely not fall into the hands of the Nether Clan within a hundred years.
My Xia Country can still be carefree.”
“One hundred percent?”
Xu Zijing did not speak.
Nothing can be one hundred percent successful, not to ntion what the situation in Thousand Tents City may develop into, Xu Zijing couldn’t possibly know it like the back of his hand.
Besides, Su Chengyu is after all just a Nascent Soul.
Knowing the answer in his mind, Yang Chengyin softly said, “The best outco, Su Chengyu can stabilize the chaos at Thousand Tents Palace.
By then, he will not only win the gratitude of Bei Luo Empire, but Xia Country will also reward him highly.
Next best, save the royal lineage of Bei Luo.
He will still be a savior to Bei Luo as Xu Zijing once was, and can successfully beco the Demon Slayer Saint, inheriting the title that no one has taken up since the establishnt of the Demon Slayer Departnt.
And beyond that…”
“Running out of the Capital City with his tail between his legs.”
Yang Chengyin was quite surprised by Xu Zijing’s words, having thought Xu Zijing might still prepare sothing for him, he softly said, “It seems you are not that optimistic about him.”
“I favor him because of my junior sister.
And if he can’t even secure the safety of Bei Luo, then it would an I was wrong about him.
Such a person does not deserve my junior sister.”
Yang Chengyin hmphed softly but did not continue.
He had known Xu Zijing for so many years, clearly understanding that the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon, like his father, had never misjudged anyone.
Thousand Tents Palace.
The sinner was as silent as when first seen, aware that Su Chengyu in front of him was discussing strategies with others using Divine Sense, yet he was not in a hurry to make a move.
Back then, due to an impulsive decision which branded him a sinner of the Nether Clan, he no longer rushed things.
And that lack of urgency amounted to more than a decade, as he finally revisited this city within Thousand Tents, he naturally did not care about this short mont.
The three people in front of him, in his presence, were but moths in a secret room, destined for no other fate than fluttering towards the scorching fla.
“Have you finished discussing?”
Speaking unhurriedly, the sinner looked down at Su Chengyu from his perch above the black sea.
“Discussing?
What is there to discuss?”
Natasha spoke coldly.
Su Chengyu, puzzled, shifted his gaze to the Heaven-nding Stone by his side.
“This old creature wants the little girl, he stated that if we are willing to hand over the little girl, he would let us all go.”
Queen Irina?
Su Chengyu was puzzled, understanding that the Nether Clan would target Irina, but this concession was completely beyond what Su Chengyu expected given the Nether Clan’s attitude towards the Human Clan.
“Stubborn resistance is not a wise choice, you should know that even if the three of you join forces, it’s impossible to break out of the encirclent of our clansn.”
As the sinner had anticipated, with him directly in front, the strength he displayed ant that Su Chengyu could at best only hold him off, and winning was entirely impossible.
Due to the sinner’s presence, the surrounding Nether Clan had blocked all exits, aning one could only forge a bloody path if they wished to escape.
However…
“Xia Citizen, can I trust you?”
Natasha’s sudden question stunned Su Chengyu, who after a mont instinctively replied, “I’m sorry, even if I use all my strength, I cannot assure that you and Her Majesty The Queen can leave safely, his Nether Technique has a wide reach, I can’t stop him from targeting you…”
“I’ll hold him off, I an you take Her Majesty The Queen and leave.”
Natasha’s words left Su Chengyu frozen in place, completely taken by surprise by her decision.
He had confronted Natasha before, and although this forr royal guard had considerable strength, she certainly wasn’t enough to hold off a Nether Clan mber in the late stages of Hollow Vacuum.
But just as Su Chengyu was about to speak, Natasha quickly said, “There’s no ti left, the more we delay, the more Nether Clan will gather here, making your breakout even more difficult.
Although I haven’t fully trusted you, but after all, you are a person appointed by Sir Xu Zijing, I’ll entrust Her Majesty The Queen to you.”
“You…”
“Listen!”
Natasha cut off Su Chengyu abruptly, her assertive manner left him unable to react.
“Take Her Majesty The Queen and leave Thousand Tents Palace, as long as Her Majesty The Queen is still here, our Bei Luo Empire will never fall to ruin, the future of Bei Luo is in your hands, Xia Citizen.”
Her words fell, and Natasha didn’t give Su Chengyu any chance to respond.
Her War Qi transford, a golden aura wrapped around her body, racing through the air like a bolt of lightning towards the sinner.
And with each step Natasha took, the majestic life force of the War Emperor within her diminished noticeably.
But a hundred ters, to Natasha rely ten steps, and she already had a head full of grey hair!
