Master of the Demon Emperor

"Eighth brother, you're really impressive."

Tang Qingtian came to Cheng Mobai's side, bumped him lightly, and praised with a smile.

Cheng Mobai's face turned arrogantly smug, but inside, he was shedding tears.

This time, his identity was thoroughly exposed.

How would he explain himself to his lord after returning to Huang You?

He hoped that the Great Xia soldiers wouldn't recognize him.

Cheng Mobai became anxious; to save his life, he had forsaken his dignity, but that didn't mean he didn't resent Su Yie and the others.

Under the clenched teeth of the Great Xia soldiers, the million-strong army moved slowly past them, causing an excruciating agony, as though they were being stepped on by a million people.

Su Yie sat cross-legged on the Giant Gourd, cultivating in silence.

He hoped to break through to the Demon Body Dao Fruit Realm as soon as possible.

Once he achieved the Taoist Fruit, his combat power would undergo a drastic transformation.

It was said that the Taoist Fruit had nine grades, and what grade one could comprehend was crucial for one's future cultivation.

While contemplating this, Su Yie cultivated.

Just then, Cheng Mobai suddenly turned around and, with a flip of his hand, took out a giant hammer and killed towards the Great Xia soldiers, startling the million-strong army.

Su Yie couldn't help but frown.

Faced with Cheng Mobai's sudden attack, the Great Xia soldiers were startled, preparing for battle.

Cheng Mobai, like a tiger amongst sheep, began to slaughter the Great Xia soldiers.

Only one general could barely resist, but was soon smashed to death by Cheng Mobai's hammer.

Several Great Xia generals tried to flee, but Cheng Mobai showed no intention of letting them escape.

Seeing Cheng Mobai pursue them, Li Huahun and Ren Wolang followed, keeping their eyes on Cheng Mobai.

About half an incense stick later, the murderous Cheng Mobai returned, flying back under the lead of the Li brothers.

Everyone looked at Cheng Mobai with wary faces.

This unpredictable fellow would attack at a moment's notice, how could they not fear him?

"Worthy of being one of Huang You's Eighteen Techniques, truly ferocious, I'm glad he's not one of my Great Qin's soldiers," Noble Prince Shangxie thought to himself as he stared at Cheng Mobai.

If such a fierce man was so suppressed by Su Yie that he couldn't even show his temper, it only showed that Su Yie was more ferocious.

"What happened?"

Ren Wokuang, seated on the Giant Gourd, asked.

Ren Wolang answered, "This guy is too ruthless. He wants to kill anyone who knows that he's serving us to silence them."

His words left the million-strong army exchanging glances.

He Youming, the Four Elders of Great Wei, Zhao Rulong, Wux Ruyun, and others from the Seven Dynasties, were all frightened.

Was it really safe to keep such a dangerous person close by?

In the center of the army, there was a carriage that held Nan Xiaopao, Xiang Yu, and Wux Qingyao, who were also discussing the matter.

Cheng Mobai was just like a double-edged sword, with both pros and cons.

Su Yie also noticed the unrest within the army but said nothing.

With Xia Tianyi, Li Huahun, and Ren Wolang present, he believed he could control Cheng Mobai.

...

Xianyang.

As the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition neared its end, many of Great Qin's saintly generals and high officials also began to appear, going to meet with people from Great Zhou and Great Xia to discuss the reward for the competition.

Emperor of Qin also sent out Lu Nitian, as he was strong enough to fight for Great Qin's interests.

Right after Lu Nitian left Xianyang.

A large saber wrapped with the Azure Dragon pattern soared from the city, striking towards the Imperial Palace.

With a bang!

The Array of the Imperial Palace of Great Qin was activated, a red light barrier enveloped the palace, blocking the Azure Dragon saber, shaking Xianyang to its core.

"Yan's Zhang Yide is here! Tyrant of Great Qin, come out and meet your doom!"

Zhang Fei's roar resounded throughout the city, as he, holding the Eight-Zhang Serpent Spear, leaped up like a meteorite, smashing into the Arcane Light Barrier.

His arms bulged with muscle, and using his incomparable brute force, he shattered the Arcane Light Barrier.

Immediately after, he charged directly into the palace.

Liu Xuan and Guan Wu flew over with their brother and stormed the Imperial Palace, intent on eliminating the Emperor of Qin.

The startling change in Xianyang had yet to spread.

This incident would usher in a grand new era, one that would be remembered throughout the ages, but of course, that's a story for later.

...

Night fell.

A million-strong army moved through the forest, the converging Demon Qi deterring the local monsters from drawing near.

Along the way, the army encountered both humans and demons on a daily basis, with their numbers steadily increasing.

Su Yie cultivated while following the conversations within Emperor Su's Sect to understand the outcome of the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition.

Then, a piece of news shook the entire Emperor Su's Sect.

Murong Wudi: Xianyang has been attacked, three mysterious individuals attempted to assassinate the Emperor of Qin and wreak havoc in Xianyang!

Venerable Xuanyuan: Who dares to be so bold?

Lü Wutian: Who are Liu Xuan, Zhang Fei, and Guan Wu? Does anyone know them? Well done!

Empress of the Great Zhou: Was the Emperor of Qin injured?

Overlord Luo Fu: Tsk tsk, looks like internal strife within the Human Clan.

Gui Chouxie: Eh, I also wanted to kill the Emperor of Qin, but someone beat me to it.

Xiahou Jinxuan: The world is going to be in chaos soon, who will rescue me from the Xiahou Clan? I want to make my mark on the world!

...

Su Yie raised an eyebrow, not just him—Li Huahun, Tang Qingtian, Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, Xia Tianyi, He Youming, and Wux Qingyao were all moved.

Who would dare to launch a fierce attack on Xianyang during the critical moment of the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition?

"Why do I get the feeling of Liu, Guan, Zhang?"

With a strange expression, Su Yie wondered if they were the equivalent of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei from tales of chivalry and martial arts?

He had come across the name Sacred Blade of the Azure Dragon, Guan Wu, several times on the invitation list, yet he didn't extend an invitation because there were other names that attracted him more.

Unexpectedly, he was so powerful that he even dared to target the Emperor of Qin.

However, the Emperor of Qin was not dead, only slightly injured, and the trio successfully retreated after accomplishing their mission.

Even if they didn't kill the Emperor of Qin, they sent a signal to the world.

What about the tyrant of Great Qin?

He could still face danger!

Over the past hundred years, among the Three Great Holy Dynasties, Great Qin has been the strongest, with the Emperor of Qin and Lü Nitian advocating for ceaseless wars to crush all opposition.

Few forces dared to resist the tyrannical Great Qin.

However, the affairs of Great Qin were not Su Yie's concern.

His enemies were not Great Qin but the entire Human Clan and the entire Demon Clan.

"Fight all you want, it's the perfect opportunity for me to grow."

Su Yie muttered to himself, recalling the Emperor of Qin's invincible demeanor, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy.

How furious must the proud Emperor of Qin be feeling inside?

To be wounded on his own turf, the Human Tribe of the Eastern Lands will surely become even more unstable.

Gong Sunqi had already issued a wanted order, vowing to claim the heads of Liu, Guan, Zhang.

For a time, the Human Tribe of the Eastern Lands was a scene of great turmoil.

The glory of the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition was overshadowed.

On the second day after the crisis in Xianyang, the Sovereign of the Nether Sky announced his return with great force, summoning his former subordinates to reform the Divine Physique Hall and pursue the Bailing Demon Lord.

Though the Sovereign of the Nether Sky's doppelganger was defeated by Su Yie and others, his strength was beyond doubt.

Three days later, Divine Ghost Lü Wutian suddenly waged war against the border cities of Great Qin, adding insult to injury.

Five days later, Liu, Guan, Zhang were spotted in Great Xia, sparking speculation that they belonged to Great Xia, prompting Lü Nitian to question Great Xia. Alas, no answers were forthcoming, and the atmosphere between the two great Holy Dynasties grew tense.

On the tenth day, the various dynasties within the Human Tribe of the Eastern Lands suddenly went to war, all under Great Xia and Great Qin.

And on that day, Su Yie and the others had already left the Bailing Territory far behind.

They traversed the desert, the million-strong army proceeding without a clear destination.

"Where is the Bailing Demon Lord?"

A voice from above the Ninth Heaven drifted down, causing all humans and demons to look up.
