Master of the Demon Emperor

"Emperor Su's Sect? What sect is that?"

"Ren Wolang? Never heard of him!"

"Nameless ones dare to break into the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition! Kill him!"

"I don't care if you are from the 'Losing Emperor's Sect' or the 'Winning Emperor's Sect'! Slaughter him!"

The generals from Great Xia cursed angrily, striking out together, wishing to slay Ren Wolang on the spot.

Ren Wolang, holding his huge saber, laughed wildly, "Come on! If you can't chop me to death, then wait for me to kill you!"

With that, he swung his saber, tearing through the air and unleashing countless waves of Sword Qi toward the Great Xia generals.

The battle on the borders of the Bailing Territory did not catch the attention of the Three Dynasties.

The capitals of the Three Great Holy Dynasties were each focused on Xiwan City, Qingyi Sect, and Chang An, because these three places had the highest concentration of Exotic People.

Having arrived in Ancient Wilderness almost a year ago, not all Exotic People were concentrated in Qingyi Sect; many had already started operating independently.

Among them, Chang An, being the most prosperous city among the Seven Dynasties, naturally attracted the interest of the Exotic People.

Elsewhere.

Xiwan City.

Tang Qingtian stood atop the city wall, sword in his right hand, looking down at the several dozen cultivators outside the city with a mocking smile, "With your Uncle Tang here, if you dare to storm the city, first ask my sword!"

A genius of the Sword Sect, his cultivation was naturally extraordinary, reaching the mid-stage of the Innate Dao Fruit Realm, and he was arrogantly confident.

"It's him! Tang Qingtian from the Sword Sect!"

"That Heir of the Nine Heavens Sword?"

"Too arrogant! Kill him!"

"Random killing is allowed in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, let's take him down together!"

"But wouldn't offending the Sword Sect be bad?"

The cultivators could hardly contain their rage, unable to tolerate Tang Qingtian's provocation.

Soon, they joined forces and attacked Xiwan City in unison.

Xiwan City was not just under the watch of Tang Qingtian, but also Han Yuandao and Noble Prince Shangxie.

Inside Xianyang City, Tang Qingtian's arrogance had caused quite a stir.

The Sword Sect was the foremost swordsmanship sect in the Eastern Lands. Its sect master was said to have become an Immortal Land Deity, pursuing the Void Shattered Technique realm, and was one of the Human Clan's top powerhouses.

However, the sect master of the Sword Sect had been in seclusion for many years, having not appeared in the world for a long time, and he hadn't shown himself even when the vicious ape caused havoc at the Sword Sect's gates.

The partnership between Tang Qingtian and Noble Prince Shangxie led many to speculate wildly.

Inside the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor of Qin laughed even more.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could gain the allegiance of the Sword Sect through Noble Prince Shangxie?

If the Sword Sect were to assist Great Qin, the dynasty would surely grow even stronger.

In an inn.

Guan Wu said to Liu Xuan, "Big brother, if the Sword Sect helps Great Qin, it would be unfortunate."

Liu Xuan shook his head, his words full of profound meaning, "The Sword Sect won't help Great Qin. That old senior has high morals and principles and won't allow his disciples to aid a tyrant. That Tang Qingtian is probably just connected to the Demon Lord."

His words were filled with disdain for Great Qin.

The Emperor of Qin was impatient for success and would eventually ruin himself.

Zhang Fei laughed hee-hee and said, "When do we take action? I can hardly wait."

"Don't rush."

Liu Xuan shook his head and smiled. Judging from their conversation, the three men lying low in the small inn seemed to have the capacity to overturn the Holy Dynasty of Great Qin.

The great battle of Xiwan City had already erupted.

But a piece of news spread like wildfire across the Bailing Territory and the Seven Dynasties.

The Bailing Demon Lord and the Sacred Body of Qiling were in Jiaye Temple!

As soon as the news was out, many competitors rushed toward Jiaye Temple.

Above the barren plains, Bi Jie walked leisurely along with Zhao Yuxuan, whose face was covered in blood, exuding murderous intent.

They had just survived a deadly battle. One of Bi Jie's subordinates had been tragically killed, but Zhao Yuxuan was uninjured, and the blood on his face was that of the enemy.

"Damn it! The bastards of Great Zhou dared to besiege me!"

Bi Jie walked on, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his anger difficult to quell.

Zhao Yuxuan said softly, "Your Highness, rest assured, with me here, no one can harm you."

Whoosh—

At that moment, a flying knife sped through the air and directly stabbed Bi Jie's right shoulder, spraying fresh blood.

Zhao Yuxuan's face changed drastically, instinctively moving in front of Bi Jie, turning around to see where the enemy was, but there was no trace of any other creature on the vast wilderness.

Bi Jie was so angry he almost cursed out loud; he wanted to scold Zhao Yuxuan, "What did you just say?"

Could this slap in the face have come any quicker?

Can anyone still trust you?

No wonder you're only second on the Heavenly Ranking List!

He cursed inwardly, pulling the flying knife from his right shoulder with his left hand and noticed a roll of paper hanging from it.

He carefully took it down to check and found a line of words written on it.

"Gather all contestants to Jiaye Temple to execute the Bailing Demon Lord and seize the Sacred Body of Qiling!"

Bi Jie was stunned for a moment, then handed the paper to Zhao Yuxuan, who also froze upon reading it.

Although they didn't know where Jiaye Temple was, it wouldn't be difficult to find; just asking any monster could reveal the location.

However...

Zhao Yuxuan looked vigilantly around and muttered, "Who exactly is targeting the Bailing Demon Lord?"

The Three Dynasties' Saint Competition has just started; does it have to be this thrilling?

"Let's go; we must obtain the Sacred Body of Qiling!"

Bi Jie huffed, acquiring the Sacred Body of Qiling would make him the most glorious figure.

He wanted to become the Crown Prince of Great Qin, and to achieve that, he needed to be the most dazzling figure in this Three Dynasties' Saint Competition!

Kill the Bailing Demon Lord and get the Sacred Body of Qiling!

That would be the best answer to give to the Emperor of Qin!

Zhao Yuxuan nodded, his heart surging with excitement. If he could execute the Bailing Demon Lord, wouldn't he be able to return to the top of the Heavenly Ranking List?

Under normal circumstances, he might not dare to dream of it, but at this moment, with so many contestants joining forces to besiege the Bailing Demon Lord, how could he not be tempted?

So the two of them started by looking for monsters to inquire about the direction to Jiaye Temple.

…

Jiaye Temple.

Su Yie spent nearly half an hour recovering his demonic power.

After recovering his demonic power, he explained to everyone the origin of his Golden Crow bloodline.

He was already an enemy of the Golden Crow Divine Race; he had no fear of the truth being discovered.

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in admiration.

Although Su Yie spoke lightly, anyone could imagine the hardships he faced.

"Being swallowed by a Golden Crow, only someone with your strong physique could survive; anyone else would have turned to dust instantly."

Ling Sang exclaimed, looking at Su Yie with a new light.

Previously, she thought Su Yie only had great talent and luck; now, she realized that what was most valuable about him was his resilience.

Nan Xiaopao stood to the side, silent, head bowed, her mood very low.

Su Yie got up, took her hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, aren't I fine?"

Ling Sang gave a slight smile and withdrew with the nuns.

Nan Xiaopao sobbed quietly, "You were in so much pain, and I wasn't by your side."

Su Yie ruffled her hair, tangling her locks, and chuckled, "Silly girl, just focus on your cultivation. In the future, you can protect me."

Then, to distract Nan Xiaopao, he shared the incident with the Malevolent Matriarch of Baili.

When Nan Xiaopao heard that the previous Sacred Body of Qiling wanted to take Su Yie as a disciple, she wasn't startled or delighted; she was instead quite angry.

"That stinking old woman, daring to steal my man. Wait until my Sacred Body matures; I'll deal with her myself!"

Nan Xiaopao spoke resentfully, her words laced with jealousy.
