"Sir, can you take with you?"
Hu Xiao seized the opportunity, leaving no chance behind as he proactively asked.
Su Chengyu already knew his intent, and instead of directly responding, he looked over at Yang Junmo.
"Didn’t you have so doubts about my words? Well, this fellow is here, and you can ask him what our world looks like in his eyes."
Yang Junmo quickly caught on, imdiately understanding Hu Xiao’s purpose, and smirked at the corners of his mouth.
"I was wondering why he behaves so contradictorily, turns out he has already noticed that we aren’t native to this world."
Hu Xiao awkwardly forced a smile: "Every family has its own difficult scriptures to read. If it weren’t for not being able to stay here, I wouldn’t have such thoughts. So, Sir, is it convenient for you to tell about the things on that side?"
"That’s a small matter, but..."
"Don’t mind , say what you want to say, and don’t say what you don’t want to. There’s no agreent between and him on this matter, and there’s even less acquaintance."
"Understood. Then the task of finding the way is entrusted to you."
Seeing Su Chengyu nod, Yang Junmo shifted his attention to Hu Xiao, pondered a little, then spoke.
"To talk about the biggest difference between our side and yours, it is indeed the disparity in status between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan."
"I sowhat understand that."
"Is that so? Then let’s move a step further. The capital city of the country I am in is called the Capital City, which is also the place of my birth. It’s not very large, but within such a small territory, there are dozens of forces entrenched."
"Are there places where the Demon Clan is entrenched?"
Hearing this, Hu Xiao followed up, as he had previously heard from Su Chengyu about the dire situation of the Demon Clan over there.
"There are, but rather than entrenched, it’s more like imprisoned. The place is called the Demon Suppression Tower..."
Understanding well the conflicts between the Xia Country and the Demon Clan, Yang Junmo quickly got to the point, using the Demon Suppression Tower as a starting point, beginning to tell Hu Xiao about the past entanglents between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan of the Xia Country.
Yet neither Yang Junmo nor Su Chengyu knew that a major upheaval had recently occurred at the Demon Suppression Tower.
Xia Country, Kyoto, in front of the Demon Suppression Tower.
The Great Formation that originally covered the Demon Suppression Tower, capable of withstanding an attack from an Earth Immortal, had already been completely breached.
Amid the ruins of broken walls, there was not only chaotic nature’s spiritual energy but also residual demon qi dispersing in all directions.
Within the rubble, two n and a woman proceeded forward side by side, their expressions complex as they surveyed the devastation around them, evidently each lost in their own thoughts.
"A formation that stood for decades was so easily broken, a pity for its exquisite design. Today’s Xia Country probably has no one capable of rebuilding it, right?"
The woman standing on the far right was the first to speak, then looked at the white-haired old man in the middle.
"This great formation was crafted by Lin Yuan back in the day. Though I assisted, my tasks were rely so odd jobs. His Majesty asks to co now; while I can’t refuse, I’m afraid His Majesty will be disappointed."
Ye Wujiang spoke softly, his tone full of lant, reflecting not only on the fallen Demon Suppression Tower but also on the passage of ti and the changes in people and things.
The man on the other side of the old man maintained a much calr deanor.
"Father, even Big Brother Su is..."
Ye Wujiang glanced at Ye Qingming and chuckled: "I know, he was the object of admiration for you two since childhood. He was indeed a genius of extraordinary talent, worthy of being a role model for you. But you have never seen what your Uncle Su was like back in the day; it’s not sothing that can be described by a few words like high-spirited. Besides... whether Splitting Heaven can return to the Capital City is still uncertain."
Ye Wujiang’s words brought silence back to the scene, the turmoil over the Demon Suppression Tower, the assertion of authority on Mount Longhu, the fragntation of the cave heavens of the Su and Tian families.
In just a few months, too many things had transpired.
Ye Qingci, who originally believed that even without directly getting involved, she still had so understanding of the situation, now found that there were still many unknown matters being orchestrated behind the scenes.
"In the end, no one expected Yang Chengyin to betray at this mont."
Ye Qingming sighed heavily, his expression complex.
"Qingming, are you saying this as the Dragon Soul Sect Master or as yourself?"
Ye Wujiang’s question left Ye Qingming montarily stunned. Realizing the importance of the question, especially under his sister Ye Qingci’s gaze, he beca more aware.
Taking a deep breath: "Father, although we ca here for official duties, my stance is external."
Ye Wujiang chuckled lightly: "That’s not like your forr style."
"That’s because Father taught well."
Ye Wujiang instilled a clear distinction between public and private matters in Ye Qingming from an early age. Yet at this mont, Ye Qingming was very clear that what his father wanted was not the usual self, clearly demarcated between public and private matters.
"Good, since you can articulate this, it ans you are finally beginning to understand what true impartiality is."
Ye Wujiang raised his head to look at a damaged part of the Demon Suppression Tower: "Private is for family, public is for country, great public is for the world."
"There’s a world because there’s a family."
Ye Qingci interjected.
Ye Wujiang, hearing Ye Qingci’s argunt, wasn’t angry but softly said: "Indeed, yet often there’s no such thing as perfect harmony. Even Yang Chengyin, who lurked for so many years, ultimately abandoned his so-called ho in the Capital City."
"So, the matter of the Demon Suppression Tower unrest, with only Yang Chengyin and Yang Qianyan escaping, is true?"
Ye Wujiang cast a disdainful glance at his son: "You are, after all, the current Dragon Soul Sect Master, and yet this information needs to be passed to you?"
Ye Qingming awkwardly scratched his head, pouting: "I’m just double-checking, since I hardly have an intelligence network within the Demon Slayer Departnt."
Ye Wujiang made no comnt, rely turned to look at Ye Qingci.
"Indeed, Yang Chengyin’s control over the Demon Slayer Departnt is quite complete. Despite him not openly stating much, anything happening within the departnt does not escape his notice."
"Including you?"
Ye Qingming asked with so surprise.
"Including . However, I’ve done nothing shady, and my investigations into him were conducted openly."
Previously, Ye Qingci rarely discussed her situation within the Demon Slayer Departnt with her father and brother; this was nearly their first ti having such a candid conversation.
Ye Qingming, having absorbed all this information, felt even more puzzled: "So why is it, after so many years, that this particular mont is when his secret dealings with the Demonic Path are exposed?"
Seeing Ye Qingming finally zero in on the crux of the issue, Ye Wujiang leisurely began to speak.
"That is the main reason I’m questioning your stance. Qingming, do you genuinely believe that Yang Chengyin wanted to betray at this ti?"
