Chapter 37 So Crazy to Have No Friends
Chapter 37 So Crazy to Have No Friends
What's this sound?
Everyone tensed up, as the sound just now seemed to be buzzing in their ears, making their scalps tingle.
The Four Elders of Great Wei were in an uproar.
"It's really her... the Bat Empress!"
The cultivator with the goat beard spoke with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear.
The female cultivator said, "Let's go, this mission is doomed to fail."
The Sovereign of Great Wei had sent them not only to persuade Su Yie but also to take control of Xiwan City, but now it seemed the Sovereign of Great Wei had been too optimistic.
Their power was not yet enough to swallow Mystical City!
"Wait a bit longer!"
Another cultivator spoke up. There was no hierarchy among the Four Elders of Great Wei; each one was as close as brothers, so his words also calmed the others.
If they ran before the Bat Empress even appeared, how embarrassing would that be once it got out?
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
"Chirp chirp—"
Just then, a chorus of hissing and chirping erupted from the west of the city, as if countless bats and bird demons were shrieking together.
Looking toward the source of the sound, a dense mass was sweeping in from the horizon, stirring up the thunder of a thousand pounds.
"The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"
"Oh my God, what is that sound?"
"It's from the west of the city, come up and look, what is that?"
"How terrifying, could it be a bird demon army?"
The satellite that had just launched broadcasted the scene onto the official website of Xiwan City, terrorizing all the citizens.
Peace had not lasted long before crisis descended again.
"We cannot match their strength; retreat is the best option."
Just then, Feng Long's voice suddenly echoed in Su Yie's mind.
Even it was saying they could not match the strength, meaning that the newcomers were beyond the Nascent Soul Realm!
Su Yie's heart sank slightly as he faced a difficult choice; if he left, Xiwan City would surely fall into dreadful ruin, because the Demon Clan had always been cruel to humans, for whom they showed no mercy—they were merely food.
"What are you thinking about?"
Nan Xiaopao held Su Yie's hand tightly, asking with concern.
Su Yie pondered, "This time the enemy is no ordinary foe."
He didn't go into detail, but Nan Xiaopao understood what he meant.
They were constantly treated as prey, toyed with at will; this feeling filled them with anger while also making them feel powerless.
In the Ancient Wilderness, there was no law to speak of.
It was survival of the fittest!
"She wants me?"
Nan Xiaopao frowned, she wasn't afraid, just very annoyed.
Su Yie stared at the Bat Empress and asked in his heart, "If you make a move, can you defeat her?"
"No, your physical body is not strong enough to withstand the power needed to defeat her."
Feng Long said decisively, causing Su Yie's heart to sink.
Just then, the Four Elders of Great Wei suddenly appeared in front of them.
The cultivator with a goat beard spoke up first, "Su Yie, come with us. That above is the Bat Empress, ruler of a Demon Race Kingdom. Xiwan City can't be saved!"
The other three also spoke out, all hoping Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao would go to Great Wei.
Even if they fled now, they would still be pursued and killed.
Su Yie didn't agree but asked, "If I repel the Bat Empress, can you take in Xiwan City?"
Upon hearing this, the Four Elders of Great Wei fell silent.
At the same time, Su Yie was inquiring within Emperor Su's Sect in his mind.
Emperor Su: Xia Tianyi, Demon Lord Qing Yan, who among you is stronger compared to the Bat Empress?
Black Tiger Emperor: The Bat Empress? Why? Have you taken a fancy to her?
Demon Wolf Star: I've already arrived at Mystical City and saw the Bat Empress. This old hag sure knows how to show off!
Demon Lord Qing Yan: The Bat Empress? Compare her with me?
Xia Tianyi: At most two strikes.
It must be said that Demon Lord Qing Yan and Xia Tianyi are two insufferable proud figures in Emperor Su's Sect, concise and arrogant to the point of having no friends.
Su Yie, having read this, instantly felt relieved.
He opened his eyes and pondered, "If you cannot protect Xiwan City, do you know any orthodox sects or Mighty Tang?"
Sooner or later, he was going to leave. Before that, he must find a guardian deity for Xiwan City, until the citizens have all grown stronger.
"Hmpf, Mighty Tang is overbearing; they would definitely exploit Xiwan City. As for orthodox sects, I know an elder of Qingyi Sect—I can send a message to them, it's just that..."
The cultivator with the goat beard hesitated.
Qingyi Sect, an orthodox sect, even the Luoshui Sect's branch can't compare to its power, an entity that even the Seven Dynasties must respect.
Su Yie immediately said, "As long as you can persuade them, I owe Great Wei a favor!"
The Demon Path, he did not dare trust. Orthodox sects might not necessarily embody true righteousness, but at least they wouldn't openly massacre the citizens of Xiwan City.
