Master of the Demon Emperor

"What have you calculated this time?"

Su Yie glanced at Han Yuandao and asked.

Apart from being well-informed, Su Yie scoffed at his capabilities of calculation.

How many times had this fellow suffered backlash because of his own calculations?

Why hadn't he learned his lesson yet?

Unfazed by the mockery in Su Yie's words, Han Yuandao spoke gravely, "This time, the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition will be unprecedentedly brutal, with rivers of blood and karmic forces soaring to the skies. It's better not to join. Perhaps we should..."

"Flee."

With that, he looked seriously at Su Yie.

He did not care about the innocent, for how vast was this world? Who could possibly save all living beings?

First, take care of oneself!

Su Yie's face remained expressionless as he said, "I will participate."

His voice was soft, but it left no room for Han Yuandao to object.

He was no longer a mere mortal from Earth. Now, commanding a million Demon Soldiers and possessing the Golden Crow Bloodline, his aura was incredibly formidable.

Han Yuandao inwardly gasped, truly, the youth had transformed.

"Since that is the case, I shall risk my life to accompany you! The other spot for Noble Prince Shangxie is mine!"

Han Yuandao gritted his teeth and, after saying this, he turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Yie's lips curled up, revealing a smile impossible to fathom.

While Han Yuandao's calculations might be unreliable, he was not weak in strength and knew much that could assist Su Yie.

Most importantly, it was Han Yuandao's attitude.

Even if afraid, he was willing to take risks alongside Su Yie!

Su Yie adjusted his mood and closed his eyes to cultivate.

The sun set and the moon rose.

Night fell.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the roof's eave of the northern courtyard. He was dressed in a purple-black brocade gown, his long hair up in a golden crown, his face handsome as jade, his brows sharp as swords and eyes starry. His gaze bore an imperious disdain for all beings as he overlooked them.

He gazed down at Su Yie without disturbing him, merely watching quietly.

The nights in Xianyang were cold, filled with a murderous air. The lanterns lit across the city made Xianyang resemble a starry sky.

"Who might you be?"

While cultivating inside the cauldron, Su Yie suddenly asked.

Gazing down from his elevated position, the man in the brocade robe asked, "Are you also participating in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition?"

"Are you one of Bi Jie's men?"

Su Yie asked in return. Noble Prince Shangxie had many enemies, and Bi Jie wanted him dead more than anyone.

Infighting is brutal and chilling; such is the way of the royal family.

"Bailing Demon Lord, if you participate in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, you will die a terrible death. Do you realize how many rulers are watching this competition?"

These words from the man in the brocade robe caused Su Yie to open his eyes, and with a leap, he used his Divine Skills to appear behind the man instantly.

The Zhou Wu Sword materialized in his hand, the blade coming to rest at the edge of the man's neck.

The reflection of the blade illuminated the man's side face, which remained unfazed and haughty as ever.

"Who exactly are you?"

Su Yie demanded coldly. Only a few knew his identity, yet his opponent was aware, which set his mind racing.

Noble Prince Shangxie had advised that before participating in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, it was best for him to conceal his identity to avoid trouble.

"I am the Emperor of Qin!"

With his back to Su Yie, the man in the brocade robe declared proudly, his voice roaring like the Ancestral Dragon, a surge of indescribable aura coming headlong at Su Yie.

Su Yie's pupils constricted as he slowly lowered the Zhou Wu Sword. With his strength, defeating the Emperor of Qin was almost impossible, so why bother maintaining a facade?

Emperor of Qin, Zhao Zheng, ranked fourth in the Worldly Renowned Register, a legend of the Human Clan!

He led Great Qin from a dynasty to a holy dynasty, standing shoulder to shoulder with Great Xia and Great Zhou, leaving a name for all eternity!

Compared to the Emperor of Xia and the Empress of the Great Zhou, the Emperor of Qin possessed more of a legendary aura.

Both Great Xia and Great Zhou had been inherited for tens of thousands of years, but only Great Qin had been established by the Emperor of Qin himself!

As the Emperor of Qin, Zhao Zheng's own strength was also formidable. Legend had it he was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon, who was an unparalleled being that once tore apart immortal gods!

The Emperor of Qin slowly turned around, facing Su Yie eye-to-eye.

The two stood on the eaves, with the bright moon as their backdrop and Xianyang as their backdrop.

"The mighty Emperor of Qin has indeed stooped to seek me out,"

Su Yie said expressionlessly, with the Divine Shadow Legion at his side, he was not at all afraid of the Emperor of Qin.

Moreover, if the Emperor of Qin had wanted to kill him, he would have already made his move.

The corner of the Emperor's mouth curled into a smile, praising, "Worthy of being the top of the Heavenly Ranking List, the one who obliterated the Divine Physique Hall, excellent in temperament and composure. Among my sons, only Shangye can compare with you."

Su Yie was unmoved; are you praising me or your son?

"Let me cut to the chase. I hope you will not participate in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition. Emperors of Xia, Empress of the Great Zhou, the Human Emperor Temple, the Sword Sect, and other major powers of the Eastern Lands' Human Tribe are all focusing on the competition. Given your Golden Crow Bloodline and the Great Cang Invincible Body, your participation might even alarm Di Jun. Then, you would become the enemy of the whole world; neither the Human nor Demon Clans will tolerate you,"

The Emperor of Qin stared into Su Yie's eyes, speaking each word carefully, attesting to how serious this matter was for Su Yie's safety.

Su Yie remained unruffled, calmly retorted, "Even if the whole world turns against me, I must protect the Bailing Territory."

Holding hostility against the entire world, what is there to fear?

If today he could not protect the Bailing Territory, tomorrow he would not be able to protect his own life!

The Emperor of Qin narrowed his eyes, fixing a piercing gaze on him, a subtle aura of killing intent emerging.

Su Yie, fearless, met his gaze and asked, "Why come to warn me?"

From the tone of the Emperor of Qin, it did not seem he meant to threaten, else why would he stand and talk under the eaves?

In Great Qin, anyone who saw the Emperor of Qin had to kneel!

"Although you are a Demon, you possess a human heart, and what's crucial is you are now a Golden Crow. The Golden Crow Divine Race values bloodline above all, and you would not associate with the Great Cang Invincible Body. Hence, you are already an enemy to the Golden Crow Divine Race, and they are also a great enemy of the Human Clan. Therefore, I wish to see you grow and annihilate the Golden Crow Divine Race."

The Emperor of Qin said assertively, not concealing his intentions.

Su Yie laughed, "Aren't you afraid I will become your enemy as well?"

"I am not afraid. In this grand chessboard of the world, it is not so easy to see the endgame. Currently, the Golden Crow Divine Race is powerful; we'll eradicate them first. If you can pose a threat to me, so be it. I am willing to play this game with you, and let's see who has the last laugh,"

The Emperor of Qin said, lifting his chin in contempt.

Who is he?

The Emperor of the Holy Dynasty of Great Qin!

He never feared anyone!

Su Yie fell silent, unsure how to respond.

The Emperor of Qin turned and walked away, disappearing after just three steps, leaving behind only one sentence: "If you insist on participating in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, you might not live long enough to become my enemy."

His voice echoed under the eaves.

Strangely, Han Yuandao did not make an appearance; with his cultivation, he would have sensed any disturbance.

Looking at the majestic imperial palace, Su Yie murmured, "I not only intend to participate in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition but also aim to reach a height where I can compete with you for supremacy over the world."

Having said that, he returned to his cultivation within the Giant Cauldron.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Xianyang City, in an inn.

Liu Xuan and his two brothers were drinking at a table, with a good view of the Xianyang Imperial Palace from the window beside them.

"The destiny of this Three Dynasties' Saint Competition is tumultuous, likely leading to great chaos; we must seize the opportunity, understand?"

Liu Xuan looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Wu and sighed, seemingly reluctant to make such a decision.
