Capítulo 1866: Chapter 1867: First Exploration of the Origin

The point of light beside Su Chengyu subconsciously flew out, leaning slightly towards the entrance of the passage.

But just as it moved, it was caught by Su Chengyu’s hand.

“Don’t play tricks, I’ve warned you many times.”

“Stop scaring people. I’m just curious and want to take a look. My power is completely restrained by you, and my body is placed in the Small Opening by you. How can I possibly overturn the heavens?”

Su Chengyu naturally didn’t lower his guard because of a few simple words from Vermilion Bird, but these words reminded him of something.

“You can’t escape from that Immortal Core?”

“Nonsense, we aren’t considered normal living beings; in terms of state, we’re more akin to Artifact Spirits. Whoever can control the Immortal Core, it’s like having half of our lives in their grasp. Of course, if we can’t be subdued, that’s another matter.”

Su Chengyu understood the meaning of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core. Even Immortal Soldiers need to recognize a master; they might not have as much authority as Immortal Soldiers, but with more complete consciousness, if they have a way to escape, they naturally won’t obediently comply.

“So that White Tiger fellow might have been directly occupied by that human using some method to occupy the core body.”

After saying this, Su Chengyu glanced at the Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird immediately responded, “I’m not trying to make excuses for it, but theoretically there is indeed such a possibility. It’s just that…”

“The possibility that he did it alone is greater, right?”

Su Chengyu smirked at the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core and said, “I know you don’t mean to speak for him. You wish for a fate worse than yours for him, don’t you?”

Vermilion Bird Immortal Core fell silent. Having interacted with Su Chengyu until now, she somewhat understood that Su Chengyu didn’t look down on her little schemes.

The more revealed, the more Su Chengyu disliked you, so it was better not to speak at this moment.

Seeing Vermilion Bird Immortal Core no longer responding, Su Chengyu then shifted his gaze towards the passage and continued.

“What you say is indeed true. In terms of possibility, that White Tiger Immortal Core being the mastermind behind the scenes is the greatest possibility, but I still don’t want to believe that’s the choice he made.”

Su Chengyu’s interaction with the White Tiger Immortal Core wasn’t long, but he could see that the White Tiger Immortal Core had its own bottom line, which was in stark contrast to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core.

The only question here is how that person, who should have been an ordinary tribe member, could bypass the will of the White Tiger Immortal Core and directly seize the power of the White Tiger Immortal Core, which is also the greatest support for Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s judgment.

In this case, one could say Vermilion Bird Immortal Core was forcibly subdued by Su Chengyu, and he understood the difficulty involved better than anyone.

Not a few people, even if the entire White Tiger Tribe mobilized, would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Unless… a force outside the White Tiger Tribe was used.

Su Chengyu keenly explored the surroundings, yet amidst the mist, besides some remaining demonic power from Hu Xiao, Su Chengyu didn’t feel any presence belonging to other Demon Clan members.

“This doesn’t seem like good news.”

Demon Clan invading amidst the chaos is possible, of course, able to accomplish all this without Su Chengyu and the White Tiger Immortal Core noticing—its realm is at least above the Demon Emperor level.

It’s indeed a considerable trouble. But if it’s not the Demon Emperor, the situation might become even more difficult to control.

Primordial Land.

Because it was the first time hearing this term, and he never expected to find the passage his father spent years establishing, Su Chengyu didn’t pay too much attention to this place.

But if that White Tiger Tribe human had such great fortune, it’s highly probable it’s related to this peculiar place.

And that’s what Su Chengyu fears the most.

Take each step as it comes.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu officially stepped into the passage.

Within the passage that wasn’t spacious, the density of the mist was even thicker than outside.

Clearly, the mist covering the surroundings was spreading from this place.

The pitch-black passage might not obscure Su Chengyu’s view, but the mist hindered his perception of the internal situation.

“Hm? What are these things?”

Not daring to surpass Su Chengyu, Vermilion Bird continued observing the surroundings and quickly noticed significant changes throughout the passage.

Su Chengyu followed her gaze, looking across several pieces, and quickly drew a conclusion.

“It’s the progress of human civilization after you left.”

Upon hearing his words, Vermilion Bird Immortal Core fell silent, not reacting to Su Chengyu’s response.

“What? This was obviously left for you, and you don’t care at all?”

“It’s redundant; we’ve long ceased to be who we once were. Helping humans and such, what does it have to do with us?”

Vermilion Bird Immortal Core spoke directly, not surprising Su Chengyu. As they continued forward, he casually commented.

“Even in the past, it likely wasn’t so simple, right? Ordinary Demon Clan didn’t know the rise of the Human Clan had Empress Nuwa supporting them, but you four certainly did, right?”

“What does it matter what our purpose was! In the end, we achieved Divine Enthronement!”

Vermilion Bird Immortal Core spoke passionately, clearly dissatisfied with Su Chengyu’s remarks.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu merely sneered, “Indeed, Vermilion Bird did achieve Divine Enthronement, but you were left behind, weren’t you?”

“You…”

Vermilion Bird Immortal Core was entirely offended by Su Chengyu’s words. If her life wasn’t currently in Su Chengyu’s hands, she would have already cursed him.

Watching Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s demeanor, Su Chengyu was already considering his plan. He had been pondering over how to handle the issue with Vermilion Bird Immortal Core.

After all, having Vermilion Bird Immortal Core in Ling Xiao’s hands was undoubtedly the best result; they, as a fellow tribe, could maximize the potential left by the Immortal Core.

But Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s previous attitude left Su Chengyu very worried. He understood that if this consciousness wasn’t cooperative, forcibly seizing it couldn’t fully utilize all its power, unless…

Suddenly, Su Chengyu looked up abruptly, his mind intertwined with countless clues at once, a bold idea emerged in his mind.

But just at this moment, a sudden demon wind came from the front, through the mist, Su Chengyu felt the oppressive intent from the opponent.

The Dragon Slayer Sword swiftly flew before Su Chengyu, blocking the incoming strike instantly, and Su Chengyu was already holding Dragon Slayer, ready to swing it at the opponent.

“Wait! My lord! It’s me!”

A familiar yet panicked voice came from the front, and Su Chengyu paused his movement. Amidst the mist, a Tiger Demon cautiously emerged.

“Hu Xiao?”

When Su Chengyu called his name, Hu Xiao transformed back into human form, awkwardly smiling at Su Chengyu.

“Sorry, my lord, the mist was too thick, I didn’t notice earlier…”

Clang!

The Dragon Slayer Sword pressed against Hu Xiao’s neck, and Su Chengyu coldly said to him.

“I said your life belonged to Ali, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill you myself. Understand?”
