Capítulo 1867: Chapter 1868: The Primordial Gate

Feeling the sword edge so close, Hu Xiao instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The last time he felt such intense killing intent from Su Chengyu was in that swamp, the moment he himself first exposed his killing intent towards Su Chengyu.

He couldn’t comprehend how Su Chengyu saw through his façade, realizing that his previous strike was not a mistake, but a deliberate act.

The urge to deny and counter was swallowed up under this intense killing intent, and he dared not speak it.

Facing an obviously different attitude from Su Chengyu, Hu Xiao finally just said.

“Master, I understand…”

Not daring to deny, much less to admit, Hu Xiao had no courage to argue under Su Chengyu’s questioning at this moment.

He strongly suspected that if he did anything else to displease Su Chengyu now, Su Chengyu would take action against him without hesitation.

“How did you break through the bottleneck and reach the Demon Emperor Realm?”

Su Chengyu coldly spoke, pinpointing the main reason Hu Xiao dared to attack him.

“Just luck, after I sent away the Little Fox, I stumbled my way here. There is a door at the back. I didn’t go in, but I gained a bit.”

Su Chengyu glanced at Hu Xiao coldly, then withdrew his sword.

“Lead the way.”

“Yes, Master.”

Hu Xiao turned and led in front, not daring to voice any opinions, still unclear about where his earlier sneak attack had exposed him.

But at this moment, Su Chengyu’s expression was indifferent, showing no clues Hu Xiao could discern.

In fact, Su Chengyu hadn’t discovered anything.

Just within the clash, he sensed Hu Xiao had ascended to the Demon Emperor, and boldly made this assumption, then tested it verbally.

Although it was just a moment, Su Chengyu replaced himself in Hu Xiao’s position and would most likely do the same.

If it were on normal days, Su Chengyu wouldn’t mind playing along a bit, then laying the cards on the table.

But now, with an uncertain path ahead, Su Chengyu didn’t want any further mishaps from Hu Xiao.

So the warning was real, and the killing intent was even more genuine.

“Is this the door you mentioned?”

Su Chengyu looked at the tightly closed door in front, noticing the fallen bodies of the White Tiger Tribe nearby, frowning.

“Did you kill these people?”

Hu Xiao paused, about to deny it, but Su Chengyu spoke first: “I don’t want to hear lies.”

“Master, you misunderstood, it’s really not me. If I intended to harm them, I would at least clean up here, right? Swallowing a few people is not exactly troublesome… I just didn’t want to ruin the scene, fearing it might trouble you.”

Su Chengyu didn’t speak, examining the states of several people, and indeed, they didn’t appear to have died by Demon Clan methods.

Their breaths severed, internal veins seemed to have experienced a rampage, and their Qi Sea was destructively damaged beyond look.

Such a tragic state did not appear to be killed by others, but rather as if something was wrong with their bodies.

“By the way, have you noticed anyone entering while you were here?”

Upon hearing the question, Hu Xiao immediately shook his head: “The mist here is too dense, if you came closer, I nearly missed it, if you meant that bizarre figure within the mist, even if he came in, I doubted I could sense it.”

“When you first saw him, what was his realm?”

Upon hearing, Su Chengyu immediately pursued the question.

Hu Xiao thought for a moment: “Probably just at Demon King level, seemed just slightly above the Little Fox’s realm, but this guy is very peculiar, his realm kept rising as he acted. After the Little Fox left, he quickly reached the later stage of the Demon Emperor, I sensed things were wrong so I hid myself.”

“You then hid here accordingly?”

Su Chengyu looked at Hu Xiao, sneering as he spoke.

Understanding Su Chengyu’s implication at once, Hu Xiao hurried to explain.

“Master, you knew my aim all along? With clues right in front now, I couldn’t let it pass, and wasn’t it you who sent me here to investigate?”

Su Chengyu snorted, not fussing over it with Hu Xiao.

On this issue alone, Hu Xiao hadn’t crossed any lines, so his attention turned back to the door in front asking.

“Since you sensed behind this door likely leads to the Primordial Land’s entrance, you must have tried to open it, right?”

Hu Xiao dared not conceal, confessing directly: “I did try, but the door seemed nailed in place, whether using brute force or demonic power, it didn’t budge a bit. Truly bizarre, clearly no Technique prohibitions are here.”

Su Chengyu listened, smiling without reply, aside from the Demon Clan perspective that saw no obstacles, the special aspect of the door was quickly noted upon his arrival here.

Not because Su Chengyu’s perception was exceptionally acute, nor did the Heavenly Dao Breath reveal what ordinary people couldn’t see.

But on this door, Su Chengyu sensed an extremely familiar clarity.

Supreme Xuanqing Jue.

This Cultivation Technique that accompanied Su Chengyu from Enlightenment to the Hollow Vacuum, though not fully grasping all its mysteries, he was intimately familiar with its property and characteristic aura.

Even now, as Su Chengyu began reconstructing the Circulation within his body, parts of the Supreme Xuanqing Jue showed many resemblances.

And on this door, Su Chengyu felt that exceptionally familiar aura.

Without a doubt, this door clearly had a Prohibition, and just like the murals along the passage, it was left behind personally by his father Su Zhedian.

“Master? Did you notice something?”

Perceiving Su Chengyu’s apparent discovery, Hu Xiao couldn’t resist speaking up to him.

Su Chengyu glanced at it, stating: “I have a way to open the door, but it requires you.”

“Me?”

Hu Xiao said in disbelief, eyes somewhat evasive.

“How can you expect me when even you can’t…”

“No, it must be you.”

Su Chengyu spoke frankly, then looking toward the door said: “Rather than a kind of restraint on this door, it’s more like a lock, a mechanism. Using the appropriate method, no additional Vital Force is needed; the door can be opened.”

Hu Xiao blinked, looking at Su Chengyu expectantly.

“Human Clan blood, and Demon Clan demonic power.”

Su Chengyu placed his hand on the door, gently stroked, revealing a hidden blood stain.

Hu Xiao’s eyes lit up instantly, excitedly exclaimed: “This is that weird guy’s palm!”

“Correct, it seems indeed you engaged with him for a while. He’s Human Clan, his blood similarly can act as the catalyst, and that demonic power apparently belongs to the Immortal Core buried here.”
