Capítulo 1811: Chapter 1812: What Hu Xiao Seeks

Su Chengyu looked up and met Hu Xiao’s eyes. After Su Chengyu demonstrated his power to him, this was the first time the two faced such a tense situation.

Seeing this, the Little Fox Chang Li clearly stepped back a few paces in fear, and finally, Hu Xiao spoke first.

“There’s no need for this, sir. I’m just curious why you have chosen to take such a risk. Surely it’s not a test set up specifically for me?”

“That guy is watching from not far away. Your judgment isn’t accurate. He’s a genuine Demon Emperor, and definitely not Low Grade.”

Hu Xiao paused for a moment, then sneered: “That scoundrel, with his strength, still playing mind games with me. If it weren’t for your foresight, sir, I fear I would have been caught by him.”

“That Sword was mostly for him to see. While the outcome is uncertain, I don’t want direct conflict with him in the near term.”

Hu Xiao quickly understood Su Chengyu’s meaning: “I understand, sir. Rest assured, I will do my best to assist you. If there are any new developments, I’ll inform you immediately.”

“Hmm.”

Su Chengyu’s ordinary response left Hu Xiao feeling uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he finally added on.

“I only hope, sir, that you can trust me a bit more. I did harm the Little Fox once, but I promise, whenever she seeks vengeance, I will be there, avoiding any harm to her.”

“Understood, let’s go. If we delay any longer, that guy will start suspecting.”

Without offering any reply, clearly understanding Hu Xiao’s intentions, Su Chengyu let Hu Xiao leave as if turning a deaf ear.

While Hu Xiao was somewhat unwilling, he ultimately chose to leave the cave.

Once Hu Xiao’s presence vanished outside, Su Chengyu finally spat out a mouthful of blood, with the Little Fox immediately rushing to help him wipe it away.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry. I don’t look as bad as I seem, just… I temporarily have trouble controlling my body.”

Su Chengyu forced out that Sword, using the most conservative method.

Instead of calling upon the Power of the Heavenly Dao within, he sank his mind into the Sea of Consciousness, allowing the Power of the Heavenly Dao to naturally accommodate him, actively cooperating with his Sword Momentum.

The effect was there, as it at least allowed Su Chengyu to successfully strike out with that Sword.

But the cost was still present. After the Sword, the Power of Reincarnation returned into his body, immediately facing rejection by other Heavenly Dao powers.

Although the chaos wasn’t directly targeting Su Chengyu, the battlefield was indeed inside him, inevitably affecting him.

Fortunately, among the many Heavenly Dao powers within Su Chengyu, the Road of Destiny was the most orthodox lineage. Even faced with widespread opposition, it didn’t completely succumb.

It merely had its space compressed, likely to re-calm and settle after some time.

This experiment, though taking half a step forward, confirmed something for Su Chengyu.

The conflict of Heavenly Dao Breath within him was like a battle for dominance, akin to seizing a mountain.

Previously, when Su Chengyu wasn’t yet strong, these Heavenly Dao powers of different attributes appeared as bald golden figures.

They didn’t have much else in mind, only persistently assisting Su Chengyu in deductions.

As Su Chengyu’s strength grew, more Powers of the Heavenly Dao manifested.

These golden figures, after dividing portions of Heavenly Dao power, chose to seize mountains to reign, turning from cooperation to competition.

Each wrapped in their respective Power of the Heavenly Dao, none wanted to cooperate, aiming to be the dominant force within Su Chengyu.

Hence, when the Power of Destiny approached Su Chengyu and he swung that Sword, it was met with rejection and oppression from other powers.

If this fundamental issue isn’t resolved, no matter what external efforts Su Chengyu makes, it may all be in vain.

Is it really necessary to choose a single path?

Su Chengyu recalled the advice given by many before entering the Hollow Vacuum: choosing one path in the Heavenly Dao would lead to Immortal status.

Perhaps, by decisively sacrificing some of his powers, this issue would be resolved.

But… is this truly the path he wants to take?

Su Chengyu’s thoughts were muddled; until he figured this out, he wouldn’t make such a choice.

“Sir, has Hu Xiao left?”

Seeing Su Chengyu’s condition slowly improving, the Little Fox Chang Li couldn’t help but ask.

Su Chengyu glanced at her, then questioned.

“Isn’t there something else you want to ask?”

The Little Fox was stunned, biting her lip unsure of how to respond.

Recognizing Chang Li’s inner thoughts, Su Chengyu directly addressed them.

“Rest easy, that’s just Hu Xiao’s self-talk. I’ve said before, as long as you wish, when you speak, it’ll be his end.”

“No! Sir!”

Chang Li interrupted Su Chengyu, raising her head: “Although I’m grateful, sir, even if I want to avenge Grandpa, I must do it myself. Using your power doesn’t let Grandpa rest in peace. Without personally defeating him… everything is meaningless.”

Su Chengyu smiled, having already guessed Chang Li’s inner feelings; hearing it from her provided reassurance, showing she had finally made up her mind.

“Then what exactly are you worried about now?”

Chang Li looked outside, full of suspicion.

“I just don’t understand why Hu Xiao went out of his way.”

“Didn’t he say he’s just seeking my trust?”

“But is doing this…”

“Too risky, right?”

Su Chengyu pointed out the anomaly Chang Li sensed, directly speaking.

“Your intuition is correct. Even if he sensed something off with my condition, the best move would’ve been feigning ignorance. Taking the risk to meet me indicates he seeks more than survival. He’s willing to risk survival for something he wants, which is why he had to come.”

There would be no danger in not coming, but danger was certain when he did.

Hu Xiao must understand this, yet still made the choice, enough to indicate the problem.

“He wants something from you, sir?”

“Indeed.”

Su Chengyu nodded, looking towards Hu Xiao’s departure: “While I can’t determine what now, it surely isn’t just a mere chance for breakthrough that warrants such risks?”
