Master of the Demon Emperor

Elder Lord Qi Yang intended to take Su Yie away, to avoid Emperor Su causing him trouble.

But the place he was going to was not suitable to take Su Yie with him.

What should he do?

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Elder Lord Qi Yang thought of something and hastily closed his eyes.

Within the chat interface of Emperor Su's Sect.

Elder Lord Qi Yang: Emperor Su, I request assistance, not just for me, but for that Sword Dao genius you have taken interest in as well.

Black Tiger Emperor: Assistance? With so many forces eyeing your Land of Qiling lately, you should be running for your life!

Demon Lord Qing Yan: All of the Seven Dynasties have their eyes on the Mystical City of your Land of Qiling. Stop struggling; even if Emperor Su makes a move, it would be a thankless task.

Demon Wolf Star: Land of Qiling? Is that where the Mystical City appeared from the heavens?

Elder Lord Qi Yang's plea for help stirred up Activity in Emperor Su's Sect.

Even Wux Qingyao spoke up, stating that she was in Mystical City and warned Elder Lord Qi Yang not to harm the people of Mystical City.

Elder Lord Qi Yang ignored her, for although the Luoshui Sect was an orthodox and famous sect, it was nothing compared to the Western Buddha Dynasty or Great Wei.

Emperor Su: If you want to flee for your life, then flee; don't worry about him. I have other arrangements for him.

Elder Lord Qi Yang: Other arrangements? I'm truly envious...

Wux Qingyao: Predecessor of Emperor Su, how are the Seven Dynasties compared to Emperor Su's Sect?

Emperor Su: The Seven Dynasties? With a single word, I can decide their life and death!

Demon Wolf Star: Hiss— Is he really that powerful?

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Tsk tsk, it seems, Emperor Su, that you truly come from a higher plane.

Even the always proud Demon Lord Qing Yan began addressing Su Yie as "you," which made Su Yie quite proud of himself.

He was becoming increasingly adept at bluffing!

At that moment, Su Yie was walking through the woods, trying to head outside to see if he could encounter more formidable monsters.

The reason he agreed to let Elder Lord Qi Yang escape alone was actually that he wanted to take control of Elder Lord Qi Yang's Demon Army.

All the monsters of the Land of Qiling acknowledged Elder Lord Qi Yang as their leader; if Su Yie could take control of them, life would become much easier for him.

Having thought this, he stopped talking in Emperor Su's Sect and focused on searching for monsters.

Leaving Xiwan City, one could encounter monsters everywhere.

However, most of these monsters were at the stage of Demon Qi Condensation, stronger than fierce beasts, but not considered real monsters.

Monsters first cultivate Demon Qi, then use it to condense demonic power, which then solidifies into a Demon Core to become a true Great Demon. After that, they undergo the shape-shifting calamity to become Shape-Shifting Great Demons. Having reached this level, they can gallop through lands, claim the mountains and forests, and be called Demon Kings.

There were very few Shape-Shifting Great Demons in the Land of Qiling, with their strength estimated to be comparable to that of the Crimson Blood Serpent King.

Along the way, any monster possessing some Spiritual Wisdom was violently subdued by Su Yie.

Gradually, he started to be followed by Wolf Demons, Cat Demons, Tiger Demons, Bear Demons, and so on, all still in the stage of Demon Qi Condensation, with bodies much larger than ordinary beasts of their kind, barely able to speak the human language.

In less than half a day, there were already twenty-three monsters following behind Su Yie.

Su Yie sat down in front of a tree, looking at the monsters around him trembling with fright, and said irritably, "Are you all that afraid of me?"

A grey-haired mouse, as big as a domestic dog, spoke up: "We're not afraid; we respect you!"

"Right! Respect! You're much more formidable than Elder Lord Qi Yang!"

Another pangolin added, prompting the other monsters to chime in agreement.

Su Yie shook his head and smiled, suddenly feeling that being a monster wasn't that bad, at least he had so many Imps flattery.

"Do you know who's the most powerful in the Land of Qiling besides Elder Lord Qi Yang?"

Su Yie asked. Blindly searching was pointless; better to have the Imps lead the way.

He needed to subdue the monsters of Land of Qiling swiftly and continue his cultivation.

No matter how many external forces he had, it wasn't as important as becoming stronger himself.

"To the north of the Land of Qiling, at the edge of the territory, there is a Shape-Shifting Great Demon known as the Purple Back Bear King, the most powerful monster of our Bear Clan!"

A Bear Demon said, eyes rolling shiftily, clearly harboring ill intentions.

Purple Back Bear King?

It sounds quite formidable!

"Take me there!"

Su Yie ordered, and the Bear Demon, upon hearing this, was immediately excited.

Thus, he led a group of demons grandly towards the northern edge of the territory. The demons they encountered along the way were still subdued by Su Yie.

Compared to the Human Clan, the Demon Clan understood loyalty better, adhearing to the principle of might makes right. As long as one submitted, they generally would not betray, unless they encountered a stronger Demon King.

The monsters that had surrendered to Su Yie didn't follow along, but with a single long howl from Su Yie, they would all rush to his side.

Meanwhile, Elder Lord Qi Yang stood atop Laojun Mountain and saw this scene. He was secretly annoyed, but out of respect for the authority of Emperor Su, he could only hold back and, with a sigh, took to the clouds and departed.

The reigning Demon King of the Land of Qiling fled just like that, silently and without trace.

Aside from Su Yie and Wux Qingyao, no one knew about it.

...

On the sports field of White Bridge University.

Wux Qingyao sat cross-legged on the grass, meditating with her eyes closed, drawing the attention of many, all stunned by her beauty and aura.

Mo Haosheng wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but she paid him no heed, forcing him to dutifully assess the new disciples.

As of now, over a hundred people had been sent to the Luoshui Sect.

Even though Xiwan City had been blood-washed by monsters, it still had a large population. The Luoshui Sect couldn't finish this feast alone; they received news that other sects had already sent their disciples here, and even the Great Wei and Western Buddha Dynasty had arrived.

Before long, the Four Elders of Great Wei suddenly appeared within White Bridge University. They strolled in. Their clothing clearly marked them as outsiders to Xiwan City, causing the citizens along the way to step aside and give way.

"The Four Elders of Great Wei!"

Mo Haosheng's face changed dramatically when he saw them. He hurriedly ran over, and although the other disciples had not seen the Four Elders before, they had heard of their reputation and were shocked.

The Four Elders of Great Wei had come too!

Wux Qingyao also opened her eyes and rose, knowing the status of the Four Elders in the Orthodox Path was comparable to the Sect Leader of their Luoshui Sect; she naturally could not afford to be discourteous.

"With the arrival of Great Wei, what secrets is Mystical City hiding?"

Wux Qingyao's gaze lowered slightly, her concern for the entire city unwittingly showing.

So many powers were not here for the safety of the people of Xiwan City. Most had their own ambitions.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Just then, a massive explosion rumbled from the eastern district, accompanied by an earthquake, as if something were breaking through the earth.

The faces of the Four Elders of Great Wei changed dramatically, and they immediately leapt up, disappearing over the other side of the academic building.

Mo Haosheng was stunned. What had attracted the attention of the Four Elders of Great Wei?

At the same time.

In the northern part of the Land of Qiling, on the grasslands, a group of Demon Beasts lay prostrate on the ground, forming circle after circle, easily numbering over a hundred heads, all trembling with trepidation and fear.

In their midst, Su Yie was standing on a brawny man.

This man was dressed in trousers made of animal skin, bare-chested, with purple fur growing on his back, and his face still bore the features of a bear.

It was indeed the Shape-Shifting Great Demon, the Purple Back Bear King!

"Even if you kill me, I will not submit!"

The Purple Back Bear King roared angrily, his voice like thunder, causing the wind to pick up across the plains.

Su Yie snorted coldly and pressed down hard with his right foot, causing the ground beneath to collapse and the spine of the Purple Back Bear King to break.

"Stop! I was wrong! I submit!"

The Purple Back Bear King cried out desperately, unable to stop the blood from spraying out of his mouth, in extreme agony.
