Chapter 1044: Demon Clan Woman
The two of them traveled on their swords, and the journey was relatively uneventful.
However, as they constantly neared the national border, Su Chengyu distinctly felt the probing gazes of the Demon Clan lurking in the dark.
In Xia Country, due to the presence of the Demon Slayer Department, the Demon Clan naturally wouldn’t act blatantly, since once their traces were discovered, the consequences would be death and the destruction of their path.
But even with the great power of the Demon Slayer Department, their human resources were limited. Also, not far from here, it no longer belonged to the lands of Xia Country, which is why these Demons had gathered here.
However, these Demons were mostly cautious and did not attack rashly. A few short-sighted Demons that attempted to ambush Su Chengyu and his companion
were instantly slain by Su Chengyu’s thunderous methods. These creatures, with strength at most on par with a Demon General, now behaved themselves, daring not to approach casually.
"Master, are the Demons outside Xia Country always so rampant?"
Yu Yanshu, noticing for the first time that there were so many Demons in the world, couldn’t help but ask.
"That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate the Demon Slayer Department. Although they might not have a prominent reputation in the eyes of ordinary people, the fact that Xia Country has been peaceful for over a century is largely due to their contributions," Chengyu explained.
Yu Yanshu fell silent upon hearing this, apparently thinking again about Su Chengyu’s decision to go to the Capital City.
Su Chengyu smiled and patted her head, "Don’t worry, Master. The Demon Slayer Department is only responsible for slaying demons and expelling devils; they won’t get involved in those matters concerning you."
