Chapter 57 Special Treatment
```
"This is Sunset Ravine, the power center of the Demon Clan in the Bailing Territory."
The Crimson Flame Lion King exclaimed, his words filled with reverence.
Sunset Ravine Demon City is a place countless monsters in the Bailing Territory yearn for, including the Crimson Flame Lion King himself. Unfortunately, the Demon City isn't a place one can simply go to whenever they wish.
The White Spirit God spoke, "How many souls must be hidden beneath this demon city?"
As expected of a mountain god, truly compassionate.
Su Yie mocked inwardly. He disliked those who pretended to be just, whether human or demon. If they truly possessed a sense of justice, then they should show it through their actions.
Just like the wars in Xiwan City, Su Yie had felt fear, had been afraid, but he still took action.
Fear is not terrifying, what's terrifying is not daring to acknowledge one's fear.
"Let's go!"
Su Yie patted the Crimson Flame Lion King on the head, instructing him.
The Crimson Flame Lion King immediately leaped, plunging down the cliff, followed closely by the White Spirit God. Compared to the Crimson Flame Lion King, her movements were even more graceful.
The cliff was three hundred meters high, but to the two Divine Power Demon Kings, it wasn't much.
Soon, they landed in the woods.
Before long, they arrived at the great gate of the Demon City.
The walls of the Demon City were thirty feet high, and the monsters guarding the gate numbered in the dozens. Leading them were two Divine Power Demon Kings, both already transformed, though they still retained some features of their original forms.
"Do you have an invitation?"
A tall bullhead Demon King holding a great saber asked, his voice as deep as a bell, quite intimidating.
Su Yie produced the invitation with a flip of his hand, the same beast skin brought by the swift arrow that day.
"Oh? Yaojian Mountain Monster Lord?"
The bullhead Demon King glanced at the beast skin with interest, his gaze lingering on Su Yie.
The other demons also turned to look; the Monster Lord's reputation had grown very loud in the Bailing Territory recently, having subjugated an army of one hundred fifty thousand monsters in less than six months—a nascent power among the Demon Clan that even the Demon Emperor was interested in.
Su Yie was expressionless. Though he was still at the peak of Shape-Shifting Great Demon Realm, he no longer considered Divine Power Demon Kings to be a threat.
"The Demon Emperor has decreed that if the Monster Lord arrives, we shall personally escort you to meet with the Demon Emperor."
The bullhead Demon King suddenly smiled broadly and turned around, signaling Su Yie to follow.
The Crimson Flame Lion King was instantly excited, proudly carrying Su Yie into the city.
The White Spirit God, however, did not receive the same courtesy and could only blink her expressive eyes as she watched Su Yie's retreating figure.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that Su Yie would one day become a Great Demon King of extraordinary stature.
Her intuition was usually very accurate, hardly ever miscalculated.
Meanwhile, the bullhead Demon King began to chat with Su Yie: "My name is Niu Wu, but you can just call me Old Niu from now on. We're all brothers in the future."
Niu Wu was nearly two zhang tall, wearing a set of worn black armor. He was a black ox that had attained enlightenment and possessed an imposing presence.
"Hmm, I'm called Su Yie."
Su Yie responded softly. As for the latter part of Niu Wu's statement, he pretended not to hear.
He had no desire to serve the Demon Emperor.
So, under Niu Wu's guidance, they made their way towards the Demon Emperor's Palace.
Along the way, they saw many Demon Kings and Human Cultivators, who all looked at Su Yie with puzzled expressions.
A Half-Demon laughing and talking with a City-Guarding Demon General?
It's known that Half-Demons were frowned upon by both the Human and Demon Clans, so such treatment could only imply that this Half-Demon was very powerful.
Yet his realm was clearly that of a Shape-Shifting Great Demon.
Su Yie ignored the peculiar gazes from those around him, while the Crimson Flame Lion King held his head high, strutting around as if he were unbeatable in the world, like a rooster striding forth.
Soon, they passed by the Stone Tower where Luoshui Sect was based.
"Eh? Isn't that Su Yie?"
A disciple of Luoshui Sect exclaimed in surprise, for he too had once gone to Xiwan City to recruit disciples.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples turned to look, including Mo Haosheng and Wux Ruyun. Even Wux Qingyao, who was in meditation, opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Su Yie riding atop a majestic Miraculous Lion King, they were all dumbfounded.
```
Several months had passed, and Su Yie was doing this well already?
Mo Haosheng watched, grinding his teeth with envy burning in his eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wux Ruyun had also heard of Su Yie, so she furrowed her brows.
Hadn't Su Yie fought through hundreds of thousands of the Demon Army for the sake of Human Clan? Why was he now joining the Demon Clan?
Wux Qingyao blinked her beautiful eyes, a smile unconsciously spreading across her lips.
She had always admired Su Yie.
Although she despised monsters, there was a kind of tenacity about Su Yie, a resilience that transcended races, which deeply moved her.
Especially that day, when the Bat Empress attacked the city, everyone was running out, but only Su Yie, without hesitation, charged into the city. That silhouette, she had not forgotten to this day.
Mounted on the back of the Crimson Flame Lion King, Su Yie felt her gaze and turned his head to give her a slight smile.
He still remembered the favor of the Bone Healing Pill from before, and after all, Wux Qingyao was also a member of Emperor Su's Sect; they belonged to the same group.
The disciples from the Luoshui Sect turned their heads in unison towards Wux Qingyao, and when they saw her smiling, they were all stunned.
Wux Ruyun was also slightly stunned; it was the first time he had seen his daughter smile at a young man.
Mo Haosheng clenched his fists, nearly rushing out to beat up Su Yie.
All right.
That was all he could wish for.
Su Yie quickly looked away. He was a good man of the twenty-first century; he couldn't be flirtatious!
However, Wux Qingyao truly was beautiful, with an air of immortality about her, an absolute goddess.
And, this was the Ancient Wilderness, not modern Earth...
Cough, he couldn't keep thinking about this!
Su Yie averted his gaze and looked forward.
Niu Wu found this amusing; it seemed Su Yie was not as cold as he appeared on the surface. Had he also left behind feelings when he was with the Human Clan?
He turned back to Su Yie with a smile and said, "That woman truly is peerless. Brother, you can win her over!"
The rascal deliberately raised his voice, so the entire street could hear him, cultivators and monsters alike.
Upon hearing this, Wux Qingyao's cheeks blushed slightly, and she closed her eyes, feigning calm as she continued to meditate.
Mo Haosheng, hearing these words, felt as if his liver was about to explode, nearly spewing blood.
At that moment, he felt cuckolded again, and so profoundly at that.
The rest of the journey passed without encountering any acquaintances.
Upon arriving in front of the Demon Emperor's Palace, Niu Wu said, "Brother, wait here for a moment. I will go in and inquire with His Majesty, the Demon Emperor. If His Majesty is busy, it's easy to anger him."
Su Yie nodded; he was very curious about the Demon Emperor.
The sovereign who loomed over Bailing Territory, what kind of presence would he have?
After Niu Wu entered the palace, the Crimson Flame Lion King couldn't help asking, "Demon Lord, are you picking wildflowers behind the Demon Empress's back?"
Bang!
Su Yie slapped him on the head, nearly shattering the Crimson Flame Lion King's skull with the power of almost two hundred and fifty dragons. His limbs gave way, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.
"You talk nonsense again!"
Su Yie snorted coldly, while the Crimson Flame Lion King's eyes teared up from the pain.
Then, Su Yie added, "Remember, don't tell the Demon Empress about this."
Damn!
You're clearly feeling guilty!
The Crimson Flame Lion King cursed inwardly, furious yet not daring to speak out. He, Mr. Lion, had never felt so aggrieved in his life.
Whoosh!
Just then, a whizzing sound approached.
Su Yie's eyes narrowed, and his right hand shot up like lightning, catching a black arrow that was shooting toward him.
In front of the Demon Emperor's Palace, who dared to make a move?
