Master of the Demon Emperor

Su Yie, accompanied by the Crimson Flame Lion King, searched for a place to stay, encountering Shape-Shifting Great Demons and cultivators who had mastered the dan entry technique all along the way, yet the atmosphere in Demon City felt somewhat eerie.

Along the road, because Su Yie rode the Divine Power Demon King, he attracted many stares.

"Isn't that the Crimson Flame Lion King?"

"Daring to ride on the back of the Crimson Flame Lion King… could it be the Monster Lord of Yaojian Mountain?"

"The Demon Lord? The recently famed Demon King? How is he only at the Shape-Shifting Great Demon Realm?"

"Don't underestimate him; his realm is just a disguise!"

Every Demon King and monster they encountered along the way looked at Su Yie with a mix of awe and fervor.

As arrogant as the Crimson Flame Lion King was, now being so obedient under the Monster Lord showed the Lord's formidable power.

The Human Cultivators also overheard the demons' discussions and quietly took note of Su Yie's name, resolving to be cautious when they met him in the future.

Soon, Su Yie sat down in front of an old tree, with the Crimson Flame Lion King lying beside him, starting to rest.

Su Yie took a deep breath and began to meditate.

Demon City did not appeal to him, so he had no desire to wander further.

Enhancing his cultivation was the priority, especially since the great battle between the two clans was about to begin.

With one day left before the banquet of the two clans, more cultivators and Demon Kings entered Demon City.

…

Night fell.

Su Yie sat under the tree as if in deep meditation, motionless, but a gentle breeze, stirred by the influx of spiritual energy, circled around him.

The Crimson Flame Lion King slept soundly, its snores thunderous.

At that moment, shouts of anger came from the street ahead where a cultivator was in conflict with a Great Demon.

Su Yie paid it no mind and continued his cultivation.

If the Demon Emperor wanted to discuss territories, he couldn't allow his subordinates to clash with the Human Clan, because that would only turn Demon City into a battlefield.

Elsewhere, Black Tiger Emperor entered the city with his followers, deliberately not bringing Elder Lord Qi Yang to avoid angering the Demon Emperor.

Although Elder Lord Qi Yang was of no concern to the Demon Emperor, the battle at Xunfeng Mountain had started because of Qi Yang.

"Quite lively," the Black Tiger Emperor remarked, wondering if he might meet Demon Wolf Star and Wux Qingyao.

After all, they were all secretly part of Emperor Su's Sect.

But he always believed that one day, Emperor Su's Sect would rise to prominence, dominating and unrivaled!

And to him, Emperor Su was like an Extraterrestrial Immortal God.

The arrival of Black Tiger Emperor caused quite a stir, as he controlled an area of monsters and was a genuine Condensed Spirit Demon King.

The moon set and the sun rose.

Early the next morning, the banquet of the two clans was about to begin.

The location was a battlefield in the northern part of Demon City, covering several miles, and it was a place used by Demon City for mortal combats.

As Su Yie rode forward on the Crimson Flame Lion King, the crowd around them swelled, full of monsters and cultivators alike.

On another street, Demon Wolf Star beamed slyly, thinking to himself, "This is truly a thief's feast!"

Soon after, he started weaving quickly through the crowd, committing frenzied thefts.

His techniques were cunning, stealing silently and unnoticed.

He even stole from the monsters.

With the cultivators and monsters focused on the upcoming banquet, naturally, they didn't notice their possessions being stolen.

It's worth noting that the great comparison of realms between the two clans had already spread, so they were all looking forward to it.

Before long, Su Yie could see the battlefield, its walls towering twenty zhang high, with many pavilions on top, unlike other stone towers in the city, exuding an ancient charm.

After entering the battlefield, Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King happened to encounter the Luoshui Sect.

"Hello there, Imp Empress!"

The Crimson Flame Lion King greeted Wux Qingyao, causing her ears to turn slightly red.

They had all heard of Su Yie's current reputation, the Demon Lord!

Naturally, the Demon Empress was the Demon Lord's woman.

Upon hearing this, Su Yie could only laugh and cry.

"Shut up!"

Mo Haosheng couldn't help but shout angrily, immediately regretting his words after he had spoken.

"Roar——"

The Crimson Flame Lion King roared directly at Mo Haosheng, the Divine Power Demon King's lion's roar was truly terrifying, instantly causing Mo Haosheng's eardrums to burst and bleed, turning all the cultivators and monsters at the battlefield to look towards him.

When they saw Su Yie and Wux Qingyao, they instantly guessed the truth and cast sympathetic glances at Mo Haosheng.

The roar of the Crimson Flame Lion King was only directed at Mo Haosheng, the other disciples of the Luoshui Sect were unharmed.

Wux Ruyun immediately shielded Mo Haosheng as he was the sect leader.

Su Yie patted the Crimson Flame Lion King on the head, signaling him to be quiet, then smiled at Wux Qingyao and said, "I still remember the favor of the Bone Healing Pill from the other day, if you encounter any trouble, find me."

At these words, countless gazes fell on Wux Qingyao.

The cultivators were shocked, the monsters jealous, for this was a promise from the Demon Lord.

Wux Qingyao nodded slightly, although the two had not directly communicated before, the atmosphere was very subtle.

Following that, Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King walked towards the Demon Clan.

The battlefield had rows of steps with tables and chairs already set up on both sides, one for the Demon Clan and one for the Human Clan, to prevent any outbreaks of conflict.

"We could bring that girl into the Qingyi Sect."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ye Zhonggang said to the old cultivator beside him while looking at Wux Qingyao, and the old cultivator nodded in agreement.

They were not interested in Wux Qingyao, but rather in making connections with Su Yie through her.

Although the Qingyi Sect was a major sect, Su Yie's potential and qualities had moved them deeply.

At the very least, they could not afford to be enemies with Su Yie, with Wux Qingyao there, they hoped to keep him in check.

Demon Wolf Star and Black Tiger Emperor also noticed this scene, but they paid it no mind, as they temporarily did not recognize Wux Qingyao.

After the guests from both clans had taken their seats, Su Yie began to survey the Human Clan's side.

There were approximately five thousand from the Demon Clan, and about the same from various sects and the Seven Dynasties of the Human Clan.

He noticed the forces of the Demon Sect, all dressed in black robes, their eyes fierce, in no way inferior to those of the monsters, led by a burly man with a face full of scars, idly playing with a wine cup.

Protector of the Demon Sect, Lu Yao.

In the Demon Sect, protectors ranked just below the Four Lords.

Rumor had it that Lu Yao and Ye Zhonggang were mortal enemies, always coming to blows whenever they met.

Lu Yao was also one of the top existences among the Human Cultivators this time.

Beyond that, he also paid attention to the Seven Dynasties, whose leaders appeared far from ordinary.

Soon, the Demon Emperor arrived following the Black Raven Archer, landing on the highest loft at the top of the battlefield.

"Before the banquet begins, let's stir up some spirits, shall we? I believe you've all heard about my proposal for a realm contest, let's start with a match between the Shape-Shifting Great Demons and those who've achieved the pill formation through the laws," said the Demon Emperor, laughing boastfully, his face full of pride, causing an excited roar to erupt among the monsters in the battlefield.

The Human Clan side had no objections either, they too wanted to dampen the spirits of the Demon Clan.

"Demon Lord, please enter!"

The Demon Emperor instructed, and as his words fell, all the monsters turned to look at Su Yie, while the Human Cultivators also began to search with their eyes for who the Demon Lord was.

"It's him..."

Wux Qingyao furrowed her brows, well aware of Su Yie's strength.

After this battle, Su Yie feared he would become the enemy of the Human Clan, which made her heart ache.

Su Yie leaped gracefully, landing lightly in the center of the battlefield, calm and collected, forming a stark contrast with the grandioseness of the Demon Kings.

"Which of you humans will compete?"

The Demon Emperor looked towards the Human Clan side, his voice loaded with meaning, his taunting tone clear to all.
