Capítulo 1862: Chapter 1863: A Sky Full of White Mist

“Alright, alright, I was just saying how easily that guy compromised, I was saying clearly he still had…”

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, suddenly realizing something, abruptly shut its mouth, but Su Chengyu, who had already reacted, immediately squinted and pressed on.

“You knew all along that he had another plan?”

“More or less~ Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t have the need to tell you in the first place, this wasn’t within the scope of our bet, was it? Blame yourself for trusting that guy too much.”

Su Chengyu didn’t speak, he took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the girl beside him.

From the current situation, it was true that he was played by the White Tiger Immortal Core.

But Su Chengyu always felt that something was off. Not to mention that the White Tiger Immortal Core suddenly disappeared, leaving the lives of tens of thousands in the White Tiger Tribe entirely in his hands.

Moreover, this action clearly does not match with how the White Tiger Immortal Core almost acted like it was making its last arrangements.

Su Chengyu could accept that he misjudged a person.

No one can be perfect and meticulous. Su Chengyu, having traveled to this day, often faced danger due to his excessive trust in others.

Even though he had changed a lot, he never thought he wouldn’t make mistakes again.

But this time, Su Chengyu felt it wasn’t just about trusting the wrong person with the White Tiger.

“What, still don’t believe that guy would break your agreement?”

Su Chengyu looked at the coldly mocking Vermilion Bird Immortal Core beside him and said directly, “Don’t use your view to look at others. Whether he still wants to struggle, I’m not sure, but I know the White Tiger Immortal Core and you are definitely not the same kind of people.”

“Hmph, stubborn as a dead duck.”

Too lazy to pay attention to the still disdainful Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, Su Chengyu raised his hand, collected several prohibitions laid out in the distance, and then stood up to take one last look at the girl with the Heavenly Slaughter Body.

Chang Li, watching the hesitating Su Chengyu, found it strange, and after glancing at the girl over there, took the initiative to say.

“If the lord can’t bear it, Ah Li is willing to help the lord take action. Don’t worry, just an ordinary person, Ah Li won’t let her feel any pain.”

Su Chengyu smiled at these words, and the inner turmoil completely dissipated.

“You’re right, just an ordinary person, not to mention that this matter is not yet clear. Even if it’s really his machination, what does it have to do with this innocent girl?”

“But…”

“There’s a rightful debt and owner for every grievance. If it is truly the White Tiger Immortal Core’s doing, I should hold him accountable for this.”

After speaking, Su Chengyu flew away from the cave where the White Tiger Tribe’s people were seeking refuge, astonishingly without laying a hand on even one of them.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core perceived all this, inwardly mocking, obviously contemptuous of Su Chengyu’s seemingly hypocritical actions, even whispering complaints inside the Small Opening of the Dragon Slayer Sword.

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword sensed this and was naturally furious, gathering its Sword Intent to teach the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core a lesson, but was stopped by Su Chengyu.

“Master?”

“No need to care about others’ opinions, you should understand the most important reason why I do this.”

After a moment of silence, the Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword responded firmly.

“True to oneself.”

These words finally brought a smile to Su Chengyu’s lips.

Indeed, upon realizing that the White Tiger Immortal Core might have plotted against him, Su Chengyu did consider using this group of ordinary people, at the very least taking that girl as a bargaining chip when confronting the White Tiger Immortal Core in an emergency.

But Chang Li’s words ‘just an ordinary person’ reminded Su Chengyu that, for the girl, she was completely an ordinary person placed entirely outside the matter.

If Su Chengyu truly took her as leverage to threaten the White Tiger Immortal Core, how would he be any different from those so-called Great Emperors who disdain all living beings in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds?

Follow one’s heart.

Su Chengyu once believed this to be an extremely simple matter, but to this day, he realized that the hardest thing in one’s life is to keep true to one’s heart.

Buzz!

A massive sword resonate echoed before Su Chengyu, and the overwhelming pressure from the fog in front forced the Dragon Slayer Sword to lower its head and escort Su Chengyu back to the ground.

Looking at the white mist completely enveloping the surroundings, Su Chengyu frowned slightly, trying to control the sword once more, but even the Dragon Slayer could not freely traverse within the white mist.

“Sorry, master…”

The Soul of Dragon Slayer Sword expressed a remorseful sound, and Su Chengyu shook his head to comfort it.

“It’s not your fault, it seems the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core wasn’t exaggerating, this pervasive white mist has indeed reached the level of Heaven and Earth Laws.”

Among the heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao Breath is the fundamental element forming the Heaven and Earth Laws, which interact, creating one rule after another, constituting the operation of heaven and earth.

Though the mist before him was not like the passage between the realms, rigidly refusing entry to anything, it indeed locked everything nearby within its own rules.

Su Chengyu turned to look at Chang Li beside him: “Ah Li, was this where you were attacked?”

Chang Li looked around, her brow furrowed: “I can’t quite recognize, but based on the distance traveled, it shouldn’t be. According to the journey, we should have been in a deeper place by then.”

“So at that time, the range covered by the white mist shouldn’t have been so vast, right?”

Chang Li nodded to confirm Su Chengyu’s speculation.

Su Chengyu remained silent, the nature of this mist was special; neither Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense nor the Mountain and Sea Scroll could discern the surrounding area.

Besides, with Hu Xiao and Chang Li having already encountered danger here, Su Chengyu had to be serious in dealing with it.

“Ah Li, you stay in this Small Opening for now, I’ll let you out once it’s safe.”

Chang Li knew Su Chengyu had a Cave Heaven space that could store living beings, but this was the first time he took the initiative to bring her into it, also understanding this matter was no small ordeal.

After all, when Su Chengyu had previously stormed the Thunder Pond, he was not as cautious, naturally not daring to say much about this arrangement.

While placing Chang Li in the Small Opening, Su Chengyu released the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core along the way.

To avoid any accidents, he directly applied the prohibitions of Heavenly Dao Breath of Merit and Fate to the Immortal Core’s body to prevent her from having any chance of escaping amidst chaos.

“You’re this attitude when asking someone for help.”

“It’s not asking for help, it’s questioning. Know your own position, I can make it easy for you, I can also make you wish for death over life.”

“You…”

“It was you who abandoned your dignity as a God Beast, my patience with you has long been exhausted.”

Su Chengyu’s tone was cold, his murderous intent in his words was not concealed at all, he looked at the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core and got straight to the point.

“Tell me, what is the fallback plan the White Tiger Immortal Core left behind.”

“I won’t…”

“I’m pressed for time, you have only one chance to answer, don’t bet your life on it.”
