Master of the Demon Emperor

"""

Facing Lu Yao, who wielded the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, the Demon Emperor's face was ice-cold, but he did not panic.

"Do you realize you are giving me the opportunity to declare war?"

The Demon Emperor stood up, looking down at Lu Yao as he solemnly asked.

As the Demon Lord of the Bailing Territory, he had no desire to be blackmailed.

Did they truly believe that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner would make him compromise?

For a moment, Lu Yao began a standoff with the Demon Emperor, and the collision of their two immensely powerful auras generated wild winds that swept across the heavens and the earth.

The demons and cultivators alike were terrified; if the two of them started fighting, many present, including monsters and humans, would not be lucky enough to escape unscathed.

Ye Zhonggang also frowned; he had not expected Lu Yao to be so impulsive.

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

The Black Tiger Emperor muttered as he stared at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner in Lu Yao's hand, having heard of its fearsome reputation.

The Demon Wolf Star, upon seeing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, immediately began to sneak away.

Meanwhile, he was communicating within Emperor Su's Sect.

Demon Wolf Star: Brothers, retreat quickly!

Wux Qingyao: You're being a coward?

Demon Wolf Star: There's no choice but to be cautious. If used to sacrifice to the banner, that wouldn't be good.

Black Tiger Emperor: Slow down, wait for me.

Wux Qingyao: ...

Elder Lord Qi Yang: What exactly happened?

Like that, the Black Tiger Emperor also quietly led his subordinates in retreat.

Wux Qingyao whispered to Wux Ruyun, "Shall we retreat as well?"

Wux Ruyun shook his head, his face calm as he said, "This is a major event for the Human Clan, we cannot back down."

Wux Qingyao fell silent.

"My Lord... do we flee?"

The Crimson Flame Lion King asked cautiously. He didn't care about any war between the two races; staying alive was what mattered most.

"Don't panic!"

Su Yie said sternly, jokingly. He had yet to collect his reward for participating in the battle from the Demon Emperor, so how could he just leave?

Facing the domineering Demon Emperor, Lu Yao's anger surged rapidly.

As a protector of the Demon Sect, Lu Yao was domineering in his actions and had never been afraid!

Lu Yao immediately channeled his spiritual power into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, and in a flash, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling emitted from the banner.

Boom —

Thunderclouds suddenly converged overhead.

Evil spirits appeared in this world, defying even the heavens!

All the demons and cultivators within Demon City became frantic, not expecting the banquet to break down so swiftly.

The Demon Emperor's face showed a slight change, not expecting Lu Yao to be so insane. He then turned his hand over and took out a long knife, its blade pitch black and its edge blood red, exuding an aura of bloodthirstiness.

"Demon Sect, you will be held responsible for the annihilation of the Seven Dynasties!"

The Demon Emperor said with a cruel smile. The Bailing Territory bordered the territories of the Human Clan's Seven Dynasties, with various sects and schools also among them, some even rising above royal authority.

Lu Yao sneered and immediately released the wronged spirits within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. Countless black wronged spirits flew out from the banner like schools of fish, innumerable.

As the wronged spirits appeared, chaos ensued on the battlefield instantaneously.

Most of the wronged spirits charged towards the Demon Emperor, but many were completely out of control.

"Ahhhh —"

"Run quickly!"

"What is this thing! It's hurting our own people!"

"You fiends from the Demon Sect!"

The entire battlefield descended into pandemonium. Su Yie leapt onto the back of the Crimson Flame Lion, ready to leave.

Three wronged spirits suddenly lunged at him, moving with such speed that they could be compared to shape-shifting great demons.

The Crimson Flame Lion opened its mouth and spewed forth rolling blazing flames, burning all three wronged spirits to ashes.

With a roar, Lu Yao leaped into the air, wielding the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner as he charged at the Demon Emperor.

Ye Zhonggang and the senior cultivator followed suit, jumping in to support Lu Yao.

"If the Demon Emperor could be slain here, peace could be restored to the Seven Dynasties for a hundred years!"

Seeing this, the Demon Kings charged at the Human Cultivators, and the first salvo of the war was officially launched.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Your Majesty, retreat!"

Li Linlang escorted Li Mengde away, knowing they couldn't change the outcome of the battle and that retreating was a better option.

The rulers of the other six dynasties also left under the protection of their subordinates.

"Sect Master! We should leave quickly!"

Mo Haosheng urged urgently, and as he spoke, he turned and slashed with his sword, cutting a Wronged Spirit that had attacked from behind in two.

But in the next second, the Wronged Spirit recovered and lunged at him again, screaming with a horrifying face, especially under the dark thunderous sky.

Wux Ruyun's face was grim, and he did not respond.

The disciples of the Luoshui Sect immediately panicked, quickly forming a circle and fighting back to back with each other.

In midair, Lu Yao and his two companions surrounded and attacked the Demon Emperor. They were all fast, able to fly without relying on magic treasures. The Demon Emperor was even more formidable, wielding the Black Blood Blade and fighting three against one without being at a disadvantage.

Sword Qi surged, pouring down and causing the stones of the battlefield to shatter and fly.

The Crimson Flame Lion carried Su Yie everywhere to avoid the chaos, calling out while dodging, "Demon Lord, let's escape!"

As for the Demon Emperor's reward, he had already cast it aside.

This place was simply too dangerous!

Su Yie looked around; even if the Demon Emperor won this battle, he reckoned the Demon Emperor would still be injured.

Wait!

Suddenly, Su Yie thought of something and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go. First, let's bring her over!"

He spoke and nodded toward Wux Qingyao.

He felt obliged to save her, both for the Bone Healing Pill's favor and because Wux Qingyao belonged to Emperor Su's Sect.

The Crimson Flame Lion was immediately overjoyed and hurried towards the Luoshui Sect.

Like a tank rampaging without fear, the cultivators and monsters along the way were all knocked flying by it.

The disciples of the Luoshui Sect noticed his charge and quickly got out of the way. Wux Qingyao also prepared to evade. That's when she saw Su Yie reaching out his right hand to her.

She hesitated, then strangely lifted her own left hand.

As the Crimson Flame Lion ran past her, Su Yie grabbed her hand, hoisting her up into his arms.

"Roar—"

The Crimson Flame Lion let out a roar, leaped over the towering surrounding wall.

"First, let's see if we can find the Demon Treasury."

Su Yie commanded, unconcerned about the Demon Emperor's rage.

It had been two months since the battle at Xunfeng Mountain, and the Divine Shadow Legion had long since recovered.

"This... may not be a good idea?"

The Crimson Flame Lion hesitated, worrying about the Demon Emperor's rage if he discovered this later...

"Just do it!"

Su Yie spoke sternly, his voice filled with murderous intent, frightening the Crimson Flame Lion into shivering.

Wux Qingyao, finding herself so close to Su Yie for the first time, blushed and asked softly, "Can you rescue my peers as well?"

"Your Sect Master is too stubborn, how could we rescue them?"

Su Yie refused flatly, not wanting to burden himself with a group of liabilities.

Wux Qingyao sighed deeply, wishing to struggle and return to support her sect, but unfortunately, Su Yie's arms were like steel pincers, rendering her immobile.

"You won't be able to help them if you go back. If they perish, you can rebuild the Luoshui Sect, and they will be without worries. That would be perfect,"

Su Yie persuaded, while at the same time, the Crimson Flame Lion roamed the Demon City looking for the Demon Treasury.

Soon afterward, they arrived at the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The Crimson Flame Lion instinctively looked back and, seeing that the Demon Emperor was still entangled by Lu Yao and the others, stepped into the Demon Emperor's Palace with relief.

Su Yie took out the Zhou Wu Sword, and any demon he encountered on the way was slain before they could even detect their presence.

The Sword Qi was mighty!

Wux Qingyao had seen videos of Su Yie's great battle with the Black Scaled King's army, and his Sword Qi was nowhere near as powerful as it was now.

She was secretly astounded; "Such a swordsmanship talent, no wonder he was chosen by Emperor Su."
