Chapter 1361: Guest from the Northern Luo Kingdom
Mo Ningchen’s words prompted Su Chengyu to slightly raise his head. There were not many people who could discuss state affairs with Emperor Xia, and judging by Mo Ningchen’s tone, the conclusion was more heavily influenced by the remarks of that mysterious predecessor who ventured deep into the Dark Sea.
This inevitably made him suspect the predecessor, and sensing Su Chengyu’s gaze, Mo Ningchen did not wait for him to ask before taking the initiative to say, "I am also unaware of that predecessor’s name. This matter is something I only came across from the records at the Demon Slayer Department."
Su Chengyu spoke up in confusion, "A predecessor who could discuss affairs with the Grand Ancestor, yet their name wasn’t left behind?"
"There must have been one. After all, a hundred years ago during the chaotic battles, many heroes rose together. There were too many heroic figures by the Grand Ancestor’s side, but not all heroes are remembered. Many who operated in the shadows went unnoticed by the outside world, and for them, anonymity was also a form of protection."
Mo Ningchen’s words naturally did not convince Su Chengyu. Perhaps Mo Ningchen truly did not know the name of that predecessor, but Su Chengyu found it hard not to suspect that this predecessor was none other than Su Linyuan who once delved into the Dark Sea.
However, he also understood that, at least for the moment, there was no possibility of verification.
"What’s our next step?"
You Ming’s single line of inquiry steered the conversation back to the matter at hand.
The Executor had been shattered by Chaitov’s sword and fled to an unknown location; the last clue from the sinner also failed to yield any useful information.
Their mission now seemed to have completely lost direction, as the sinner had said, and appeared to be devoid of any leads. You Ming had no choice but to look to Mo Ningchen.
As the primary person responsible for this mission, Mo Ningchen has been in direct contact with the Demon Slayer Department all along.
