Master of the Demon Emperor

Black Tiger Emperor: Losing to Overlord Luo Fu isn't a disgrace!

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: I'm still not strong enough.

Overlord Luo Fu: Don't belittle yourself, your Sword Intent injured me. It's just that your physical body is not as strong as mine.

Demon Lord Qing Yan: That's right, Xia Tianyi, you're still young, you will surpass him sooner or later.

Wuu You: Our Human Clan's younger generation of geniuses really are as numerous as fish in a river.

...

All members of Emperor Su's Sect were comforting Xia Tianyi. In the past, a confrontation with Overlord Luo Fu would have been a matter of life and death for Xia Tianyi, but now that both had joined Emperor Su's Sect, it was merely a sparring match.

Although Xia Tianyi lost, the gap between their strengths was not significant.

As Xia Tianyi himself said, he had learned much from this battle, and his swordsmanship was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Su Yie secretly wondered, if Xia Tianyi were to break through, could he defeat Overlord Luo Fu?

Just at this moment, Shangguan Wuji suddenly started to provoke Overlord Luo Fu. Even Demon Lord Qing Yan couldn't stop him, which made Su Yie also suppress a chuckle.

He was too lazy to speak, and thought to himself, "Why didn't I get the chance to invite people to this battle at the Mysterious Ancestor's Tomb?"

The Great Dao Communication Device did not answer him, leaving him to give up on the question.

He continued to consume Dragon Strength Pills.

In three days' time, his strength increased by the equivalent of twenty dragons. While consuming the Dragon Strength Pills, he was also absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, which increased his demonic power.

His mastery of Divine Skills also became increasingly smooth and effortless.

About five more days passed.

Su Yie's strength reached the Strength of Four Hundred Dragons; with a roar, he could shake mountains and rivers.

Xiao Ying suddenly flew over, perching on Su Yie's shoulder, and began chattering: "The Demon Empress said you can return now. I'm doing very well here, my master is very fond of me. She has already passed on the Jiaye Temple's guardian cultivation technique to me, you can rest assured, Su Yie."

Roar—

The Crimson Flame Lion King roared violently, startling Xiao Ying so much that its feathers nearly fell out. It angrily said, "Call her Demon Lord! You must not call her by name!"

Su Yie's forehead bulged with veins; this darn creature was definitely venting its own frustrations!

"Hmm, you go back then. If the Demon Empress has any matters, you must report to me promptly."

Su Yie nodded, and Xiao Ying immediately flew away, clearly frightened by the Crimson Flame Lion King.

Su Yie then rode the Crimson Flame Lion King back to Demon Mountain.

He couldn't afford to stay away from Demon Mountain for too long. What if something happened while he was away?

The Crimson Flame Lion King was eager to return and started sprinting on all fours.

...

Demon Mountain.

Atop a neighboring peak, dozens of Demon Birds perched, including eagles, vultures, and cranes.

Ying Tianchou stood before a vulture the size of a man and asked, "Is this true?"

"Yes, the Demon Mountains at the edge of the Bailing Territory have been subdued by a mysterious force. They have surrounded the territory and what's strange is that there has been no news at all," the vulture spoke in human tongue, its words filled with confusion.

Ying Tianchou frowned and murmured, "With the Demon Emperor dead, the neighboring Demon Clans are getting restless."

Without Su Yie, he did not wish to make decisions rashly and could only instruct his subordinates to keep watch.

He looked towards the horizon and muttered to himself, "The one who covets Bailing Territory the most should be the Evil Bat Demon. His daughter died in Mystical City, and the Demon Lord also comes from Mystical City. I fear Demon Mountain will be his key focus."

The Evil Bat Demon!

Renowned alongside the Bailing Demon Emperor, and also the father of the Bat Empress, the monsters only knew of the Bat Empress' infamy, unaware that the Evil Bat Demon stood behind her. Otherwise, the Demon Kings who suffered at her hands would have sought revenge long ago.

If it really was the Evil Bat Demon, that would be troublesome!

Ying Tianchou sighed. If in the end Su Yie didn't return, he would have no choice but to flee.

...

In the dense forest, the Crimson Flame Lion King ran like the wind, stirring up the flowers and grass in its wake.

Su Yie rode on it, eyes closed, looking at the chats between the members of Emperor Su's Sect, something he did often when he had spare time.

He did this to understand the Ancient Wilderness and to remember the famous figures, so that he could directly recruit them to Emperor Su's Sect in the future.

Currently, the most active were still the Black Tiger Emperor, the Demon Wolf Star, and Elder Lord Qi Yang.

Following them were Demon Lord Qing Yan, the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands, Shangguan Wuji, Overlord Luo Fu, Li Zuxuan, and Wux Qingyao.

Wuu You and Xia Tianyi appeared less frequently.

Li Huahun was even more elusive, diving deep like the big fish in an online chat group of the future world, who always kept a low profile until they surfaced, startling the entire group.

"Demon Lord, ahead lies a powerful surge of spiritual energy," the Crimson Flame Lion King suddenly said, causing Su Yie to open his eyes.

Powerful spiritual energy?

Could it be a blessed land or Heavenly and Earthly Treasures?

Su Yie's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged the Crimson Flame Lion King to go and check it out.

A few miles ahead, at the end of the forest, was a cliff a hundred yards high, with a waterfall cascading down from above, powerful enough to destroy everything in its path.

Below the waterfall was a clear lake, its surface glowing with a blue light, absolutely beautiful.

Dozens of sharp rocks protruded from the lake, where two figures were currently in a standoff.

One human, one demon, with the demon having taken on human form, dressed in a purple brocade robe, handsome yet devilish, wearing a pair of fox ears; opposite him was a black-clad young man holding a long sword, his head covered by a conical bamboo hat.

"To think that a disciple of the Sword Saint is merely this."

The purple-robed fox demon sneered, his words filled with contempt.

"The genius of the Demon Clan, Purple Lord Fox, is nothing much either," the black-clad young man retorted with a cold huff, standing his ground against the purple-robed fox demon.

With a loud boom!

The lake exploded, water splashed everywhere, and the human and demon clashed again.

The black-clad young man swung his sword like lightning, while the Purple Lord Fox countered with his sharp claws against the sword, creating sparks everywhere.

Sword shadows shimmered on the surface of the lake as they fought back and forth, moving from the lake to above the waterfall without needing any support to soar into the sky.

Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King leapt out from the woods and saw their battle, prompting the Crimson Flame Lion King to stop quickly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator and a Condensed Spirit Demon King," the Crimson Flame Lion King said with a grave voice. With Su Yie around, he was not afraid.

Su Yie's gaze fell on the waterfall, where amid the cascades, twinkling lights suggested the presence of a strange treasure.

He immediately leaped towards the waterfall.

Although he had reached the Mystic Demon King Realm, he still did not possess the art of flying; when he had time, he would ask the demons about the Art of Riding the Clouds and Commanding the Mist.

Even though he couldn't fly, leaping a hundred meters was nothing to him.

The Purple Lord Fox and the black-clad young man, seeing Su Yie's move, were immediately furious and turned to attack Su Yie.

Su Yie flipped his hand and released the Zhou Wu Sword, which quickly landed under his feet. He stepped on it forcefully, changed direction, and using his Divine Skills, he charged in front of the Purple Lord Fox and the black-clad young man with fists like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

Boom! Boom!

The Purple Lord Fox and the black-clad young man were sent flying backward, spitting blood.

A Divine Power Demon King, managing to hurt a Condensed Spirit Demon King and a Nascent Soul Cultivator in an instant, was simply unimaginable!

Su Yie then followed into the waterfall, his figure disappearing from the sight of the Crimson Flame Lion King.

"This is truly too domineering!"

The Crimson Flame Lion King exclaimed as his gaze inadvertently settled on the Purple Lord Fox, recognizing his identity, and his eyes widened.

"Could it be that he is the Purple Lord Fox? Oh no! This fellow became a disciple under Overlord Luo Fu ten years ago, and although he might not be favored by Overlord Luo Fu, he is still one of Luo Fu's men!"
