Master of the Demon Emperor

Within Emperor Su's Sect.

Emperor Su invited Great Sage Equaling Heaven to join his sect!

Black Tiger Emperor: A newcomer! Another newcomer has arrived!

Elder Lord Qi Yang: Last time, just as the Ten Thousand Barbarian Elephant Emperor was about to contribute resources to join the sect, he died. I hope this newcomer can utter a second sentence.

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: Huh? What's going on?

Venerable Xuanyuan: What about the empress, are you all going to target the Demon Lord next?

Divine Ghost Lü Wutian: Daring to take the name equal to Heaven, quite audacious, though slightly inferior to my 'Wutian'.

…

After Great Sage Equaling Heaven joined the sect, he did not cause a significant stir. After all, Emperor Su's Sect already had many members, and since Great Sage Equaling Heaven was not very famous, only some lower-ranked members like the Black Tiger Emperor and Elder Lord Qi Yang took notice.

For the Black Tiger Emperor, welcoming newcomers was the only way he felt his presence.

Yet, unlike most newcomers, Great Sage Equaling Heaven boldly refused to hand over the resources required for joining and even questioned why he should.

Instantly, the firepower within Emperor Su's Sect turned against him; they cursed him for being foolish and not cherishing the opportunity that had fallen into his lap.

Great Sage Equaling Heaven acted like a stubborn youth, simply refusing to agree.

Members began to suggest expelling him from the sect. Some even more ruthlessly demanded his eradication.

Su Yie found himself in a dilemma. If he kicked out Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he would waste an invitation opportunity. Yet, he couldn't bear to simply eradicate him, especially since Great Sage Equaling Heaven wasn't arrogant but simply unwilling to give resources.

Just then, Piercing Arm Monkey suddenly appeared.

Piercing Arm Monkey: Brother Sun, how did you get here?

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: Eh? You're here too?

Li Huahun: You know him?

Piercing Arm Monkey: Of course, I owe my current status all to Brother Sun's guidance!

Black Tiger Emperor: Damn! Is this newcomer a big shot too?

…

After Piercing Arm Monkey appeared, Su Yie's dilemma was also resolved. Piercing Arm Monkey began to persuade Great Sage Equaling Heaven, telling him not to miss this opportunity.

"Could he really be the otherworld version of Sun Wukong?"

Su Yie, stroking his chin, curiously thought. If that were indeed the case, how wonderful it would be.

The first superhero in the hearts of 21st-century Hua Xia people is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

A national-level existence!

Su Yie also liked Sun Wukong very much, and ripples of emotion stirred in his heart.

"Hey, why is that guy still clinging to your waist?"

As Su Yie was lost in thought, Nan Xiaopao suddenly appeared next to the Crimson Flame Lion King, folding her arms across her chest and asking with a cold snort.

Su Yie opened his eyes and replied, "You've seen it act like this before. I can't pull it off."

He felt helpless; sometimes, he really wanted to smack Xiao Bai fiercely.

"Tsk, you seem to be enjoying it quite a bit."

Nan Xiaopao turned her head away with a jealous look, clearly aware that Xiao Bai was a female dragon.

"Demon Empress, the Demon Lord probably wants to train it to be an Imp Empress. Clinging to the waist is part of the training," the Crimson Flame Lion King said coldly and indifferently. The moment the words were out, Su Yie slapped it down, causing it to kneel on all fours, shaking the ground with a thud, while the surrounding Demon Soldiers looked up in response.

Nan Xiaopao grew even more dissatisfied and pinched Su Yie's thigh before leaving.

Defenseless civilians stood in the middle of the Demon Army, which was guarded on all sides by Xia Tianyi, Li Huahun, Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, Tang Qingtian, He Youming, Han Yuandao, and Fang Tian Divine Fist.

The moment Tang Qingtian heard that Su Yie was going to establish a Demon Nation, he became immediately excited and decided to follow Su Yie.

Having finally escaped, he had no intention of going back.

A fascinating world awaited his exploits.

Soon, Sun Qitian had submitted the resources required for joining the sect.

Su Yie checked through the Repository of the Dao list and found it was a Golden Core, the size of a thumb, detected to be nontoxic by the Great Dao Communication Device.

It's worth mentioning that the treasures in the Repository of the Dao now numbered over ten thousand items, including collections from the sub-branches of the Divine Physique Hall and the Dragon Emperor's Cave Mansion. The Black Tiger Emperor had contributed the most resources within Emperor Su's Sect, though they were mostly items of little value. It appeared he aimed to accumulate quantity over quality.

The real big spender was the Empress of the Great Zhou, with superior magic artifacts, pills, heavenly and earthly treasures, cultivation techniques, and formations. It was for this reason that Su Yie hadn't eliminated the Empress of the Great Zhou.

Although the Empress of the Great Zhou was one of the leaders in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, she was upright and often provided intelligence to Emperor Su's Sect. She even warned them about the attack from the Sovereign of the Nether Sky, hence Su Yie still held her in high regard.

The most miserly was the Piercing Arm Monkey!

Even the less wealthy hero, Feng Lie, had started to submit resources, but the Piercing Arm Monkey simply wouldn't, occasionally even undertaking missions to help lower-ranked members of Emperor Su's Sect.

He truly was driven mad by poverty.

Xianyang.

As Su Yie departed with a massive army, the entire city was abuzz.

"Still wants to establish a Demon Nation? That's too arrogant!"

"What do you mean we can't tolerate him? Isn't he the one rampaging and killing everywhere?"

"Actually, the Bailing Demon Lord is quite pitiful, always provoked by others."

"This demon absolutely must not be allowed to continue growing, it's too dangerous!"

"A demon is a demon, those following him will only regret it!"

Various voices erupted throughout the city, and even though a few people were moved by Su Yie's speeches, they were overwhelmed by the majority.

Spreading sedition!

This was the sentiment of the majority.

Inside a guesthouse, Guan Wu squinted his eyes and said, "This youngster carries the aura of an emperor."

His words made Liu Xuan uncomfortable, though Liu Xuang concealed it well.

"Unfortunately, he is ultimately a demon, an enemy of the Human Clan." Liu Xuan shook his head, hinting this to Guan Wu.

Guan Wu was most loyal, and the sight of Su Yie fleeing with so many innocents certainly struck a chord with him.

Zhang Fei muttered, "This demon's got too many tricks up his sleeve, not straightforward at all!"

He huffed internally, aware that not everyone could be as movingly eloquent as his elder brother.

Meanwhile, the Emperor of Qin and Lu Nitian had both issued orders targeting Su Yie.

A million-strong army marched on, carrying mortals with them, neither too fast nor too slow.

With so many powerful martial artists as escorts, Su Yie was not worried and took the opportunity to train.

As Xia Tianyi had said, they were heading south, towards the edge of the Eastern Lands near the boundless ocean.

Along the way, the army encountered many people. If someone wished to join, Su Yie would welcome them, but if there were doubts raised about an individual—say, someone known for villainous deeds—he would expel them.

For instance, one individual had once slaughtered a nameless village and was pursued by disciples of the Qingyi Sect. Many disciples could testify to this, frightening the culprit into fleeing immediately, even too afraid to make excuses.

Among the mortals, there were both good and bad.

As night fell, the army continued its march.

They must first leave the Bailing Territory!

Su Yie sat atop Ren Wokuang's gourd cultivating, taking out the Golden Core from Sun Qitian; he wanted to see what kind of pill someone who could teach the Piercing Arm Monkey could produce.

"Stop! Enemy ahead!"

Just then, Xia Tianyi, who was at the forefront, suddenly spoke.

The startled army halted. A million demon soldiers drew their weapons ready for battle, and Su Yie also opened his eyes to look ahead.

In the darkness of the night atop the mountain ridges, there stood a figure like a Demon God, five zhang tall, holding a massive hammer, with a head as big as a house.

"Bailing Demon Lord, where do you think you're escaping to?"
