Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 49 Bailing Demon King

"Perhaps it's a grace from Heaven."

Su Yie said with a light laugh, as if erasing Dong Fangjue was a trivial matter.

This attitude only made the demons revere him more.

Nan Xiaopao pouted, understanding that Su Yie did not wish to reveal the truth in public, so she refrained from asking further.

At this moment, Su Yie turned his gaze toward other cultivators in the distance, and the monsters followed suit, turning as well.

Tens of thousands of eyes looked over, terrifying those cultivators, who hastily fled.

"The lord is dead! Run fast!"

"What is the origin of that half-demon exactly?"

"So terrifying! Yaojian Mountain will surely become a forbidden ground in the future!"

"Could it be that a great power is protecting him?"

The voices of the cultivators grew distant, drawing laughter from the monsters.

Su Yie took out the Demon Core of the Three-Headed Ghost King, wiped it clean, and placed it in the Repository of the Dao. Luo Zhenhai did not say anything.

For him, the allure of a Demon Core was not great.

Now he was greatly curious about Su Yie; he decided to observe Su Yie more to discover just who this half-demon was.

The Shape-Shifting Great Demons like Purple Back Bear King and Ashen Rock Hound King also began to clean up the battlefield.

The subdued monsters prostrated on the ground, quietly awaiting instructions.

Their gazes were all concentrated on Su Yie, devoid of hatred, filled only with fervor.

The Demon Clan worshipped the strong, and what's more, Su Yie had just counted to one before obliterating Dong Fangjue, which was simply astounding.

Following Su Yie would be far more secure than following the Three-Headed Ghost King!

Afterward, Su Yie dispersed the newly subdued monsters, assigning them under different Shape-Shifting Great Demons.

Additionally, cleaning up the battlefield took half an hour, and only then did they set off toward Yaojian Mountain.

As they gazed at the three celestial mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, the monsters were all filled with excitement; this would be their territory, and they would no longer need to wander aimlessly.

"The mountain in the middle is the tallest and has the richest spiritual energy; it should belong to the Demon Lord and Demon Empress!"

Wild Elephant Kui suggested, since they had decided to address Su Yie as Demon Lord, Nan Xiaopao too changed how she referred to herself, becoming the Demon Empress.

Su Yie had no objections, as it was fitting for his status. He couldn't possibly live with the other monsters; claiming a mountain for himself was the only way to live up to the title of Demon Lord.

Nan Xiaopao was even more delighted, having often been depressed about not having chances to be alone with Su Yie; now, she finally had her opportunity.

As Su Yie walked down the mountain path, he trod slowly, his mind filled with all that had happened since arriving in the Ancient Wilderness. Even now, it felt like a distant dream.

He wondered how long this peace would last.

Whoosh—

At that moment, an arrow cutting through the sky, piercing the clouds, aimed directly at Su Yie.

Damn!

He cursed inwardly just as he pondered the duration of the peace, danger struck.

Is the heaven playing with me?

The Su Yie of today was no longer the same as before. His right hand shot up like lightning, grabbing the arrow.

Attached to the arrow's tail was a roll of beast hide.

Su Yie looked towards the direction from which the arrow had come, but saw no sign of the assailant.

He unrolled the beast hide and saw writing, an invitation.

The Bailing Demon King!

The message was straightforward: in three months, inviting nearby demon kings of the Bailing Territory to gather at Sunset Ravine to discuss a campaign against the Human Clan.

Su Yie frowned. Although he had set foot on the Demon Path, at heart, he was still human.

If he refused, he would offend all the nearby demon kings, facing a calamity from which there was no return.

He remembered what the monsters from Three Ghosts Mountain had said: the Bailing Territory was a den of dragons and tigers, even home to ancient monsters thousands of years old, with heaven-reaching cultivation.

This was also why Mighty Tang dared not advance here.

Su Yie felt a headache coming on.

At the same time, he thought of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor. According to the Xuanyuan Human Emperor, he had reversed time to send them here, which meant that in the future, the Human Clan would be slaughtered by the Demon Clan.

There were also Di Jun and Tai Yie. Perhaps they had already become significant figures within the Demon Clan.

If a great war between the Human and Demon Clans were indeed forthcoming, which side should he take?

Su Yie no longer felt like chatting and closed his eyes to eavesdrop.

Inside Emperor Su's Sect, the chatter was still lively.

Black Tiger Emperor: Dong Fangjue's death has had a big impact. Mighty Tang wants to expand into the Demon Realm, but all the major Demon Nations disagree.

Demon Wolf Star: Hehe, if a war between the Human and Demon Clans does break out, I'll be the first to kill you, even though I am a Demon Cultivator, for I am human!

Black Tiger Emperor: Who's afraid? Come at me!

Elder Lord Qi Yang: The Demon Empress of Sunset Ravine is calling together the demon kings of the Bailing Territory, the situation is not good!
