Once, twice, three times, each attempt yielding no results.
For a moment, Chen Shuo felt a sense of confusion. How could this be happening?
While perplexed, Chen Shuo continued his attempts.
"Puff!"
Just as Chen Shuo was making another try, Su Xiyan's previously normal body suddenly trembled violently. In the next second, she coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
At that moment, Su Xiyan's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
"Xiyan, are you alright?"
Chen Shuo dared not continue and immediately stopped to check on Su Xiyan's condition.
He had been using the gentlest method to probe Su Xiyan's body, which normally shouldn't have any side effects.
How did it turn out like this?
Could it be...
Was this some kind of restriction unique to Demon Hunters? Chen Shuo could only attribute the answer to this.
Fortunately, Su Xiyan's condition wasn't too severe. Chen Shuo only needed to use his spiritual energy to regulate Su Xiyan's body before she returned to normal.
Looking at Su Xiyan who had slightly recovered in his arms, Chen Shuo felt somewhat relieved: "What's going on here? Is this something that happens when Demon Hunters reach the Platinum Realm?"
Su Xiyan shook her head blankly, as this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
She had broken through two major stages before, but none of those breakthroughs were like today's.
Moreover, Su Xiyan could sense that whatever it was, it didn't belong in her body.
After Su Xiyan told Chen Shuo about her feelings, he too became perplexed.
Not belonging to her body? How could this be...
After pondering for a while, they finally decided to give up.
Rather than wasting time deliberating further, it would be better to ask someone with experience about the situation.
Perhaps Su Yuanying and the others could provide answers. After discussing, they decided to tell her father about this matter.
Originally, Chen Shuo's idea was to ask Elder Xu, as he would have more authority to speak on the matter as a Legendary Demon Hunter.
But as soon as he suggested this, Su Xiyan rejected it. Her previous breakthrough had already caused quite a stir in the capital.
She disliked that feeling of being in the spotlight, pushed to the forefront of attention.
So this time, her breakthrough couldn't be known by more people, otherwise her situation would surely cause a huge sensation.
A Gold Tier 3 Demon Hunter slaying a Demon King? What an extraordinary honor!
Once publicized, the matter would become serious.
Let alone how the Monster Hunters' Guild would promote her, the vampire forces would surely set their sights on Su Xiyan as well.
So from any angle, this would put Su Xiyan in personal danger.
Regardless of the consideration, the fewer people who knew about Su Xiyan's breakthrough, the better.
Thinking of these things, Chen Shuo sent Su Xiyan away from the scene as soon as the matter was settled.
Otherwise, if Elder Xu saw Su Xiyan, he might notice something different about her.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, sending Su Xiyan away first was the best solution.
After seeing Su Xiyan off, Chen Shuo returned to the battlefield.
The battle had mostly been settled, with dozens of Half Ghost King vampires all slaughtered by Elder Xu.
The strength of a Legendary Demon Hunter was indeed not to be underestimated. With his power alone, he could annihilate dozens of Half Ghost Kings.
Although Elder Xu looked somewhat disheveled, overall it was considered a great victory.
Su Yuanying's side also reported continuous victories. There were many vampires hidden in the outside world, and although these vampires weren't particularly strong,
they had come out in full force this time, in numbers far greater than the entire Monster Hunters' Guild had anticipated.
Hundreds of vampires were hidden among the crowd, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Fortunately, Su Yuanying led the charge. Under his leadership, along with the members of the Monster Hunters' Guild and vampires like Zhang Chuan from Rong City,
despite being at a numerical disadvantage, they completely overpowered the enemy in terms of strength.
So the battle outside was resolved quite smoothly, and this extermination could be considered a great success.
Leaving the battlefield, Chen Shuo immediately sought out Su Yuanying.
He had intended to use this opportunity to explain Su Xiyan's situation to Su Yuanying, but unexpectedly, Elder Xu rushed over first.
"Elder Xu, we really owe you our thanks for this time."
Facing Elder Xu, Chen Shuo was still quite respectful.
After all, it was thanks to Elder Xu that things went so smoothly this time. However, Elder Xu didn't seem as happy as one might imagine.
Looking at Chen Shuo with a somewhat complex expression, he asked, "Where's the Demon King? Have you already dealt with it?"
Chen Shuo knew that paper couldn't wrap up fire, and there was no point in hiding anything.
At this point, he could only bear the burden alone.
"You... you're not just at the level of a Demon King, are you? If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the level of a Semi-Legendary Ghost Saint?"
Elder Xu said in a deep voice. If he hadn't faced Chen Shuo directly in combat, he wouldn't have noticed Chen Shuo's true strength.
It wasn't until Chen Shuo withstood his full-force attack with his physical body that he realized how extraordinary Chen Shuo was.
What he didn't know was that Chen Shuo's strength actually exceeded that of a Semi-Legendary Ghost Saint.
Of course, Chen Shuo had no intention of telling the whole truth. If they thought he was a Semi-Legendary Ghost Saint, then let them think so.
Hiding one's strength was always beneficial. Otherwise, if he caught the attention of the Monster Hunters' Guild in the capital, he would surely become a target of public criticism.
"What? Son-in-law, you actually have the strength of a Semi-Legendary Ghost Saint?"
Hearing that Chen Shuo had the strength of a Semi-Legendary Ghost Saint, Su Yuanying was also somewhat surprised.
Although he was already a Semi-Legendary Hunter, there was still a world of difference between him and a true Legendary Demon Hunter.
However, upon learning that Chen Shuo was so powerful, he felt both shocked and delighted, but also somewhat worried.
He was glad that he hadn't antagonized Chen Shuo from the beginning, otherwise, with Chen Shuo's strength, wiping them out would have been as easy as lifting a finger.
As for his worry, he was also concerned that Chen Shuo's identity might draw attention from the capital.
Once this matter reached the capital, Su City would surely no longer know peace.
Amidst his shock, Su Yuanying's gaze also fell on Elder Xu beside him.
"Elder Xu, today's great victory is largely thanks to you. How about this, let's go to my residence and celebrate together."
Su Yuanying said with a beaming smile, but his suggestion was immediately rejected by Elder Xu.
"I think we'd better skip the celebration. Don't think I don't know your little scheme."
Seen through by Elder Xu, Su Yuanying could only laugh awkwardly.
"Elder Xu, what scheme could I possibly have? It's just a simple celebration, truly just a simple celebration."
Su Yuanying lied shamelessly, his face not reddening nor his heart racing.
At this point, he had to help Chen Shuo keep things under wraps. If Chen Shuo's identity were to be reported to the capital, things would become complicated.
By then, the Su family might also be implicated. So from any perspective, this matter had to be handled properly today.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
