Chapter 187 Eastern Emperor Taiyi
"He is dead, how many times must I repeat myself?"
The silver-faced man flipped over, turning his back on the golden flame figure, his tone full of impatience.
The golden flame figure was so furious that his chest heaved tumultuously, and the pillars of blazing flame around him shook the Immortal Emperor Peak, causing chunks of stone to slide down.
His aura alarmed the Immortal Scorching Ridge, causing roars and ghastly wails to resound intermittently.
No matter how enraged the golden flame figure was, the silver-faced man remained indifferent, even scratching his buttocks at one point.
"Won't you at least give me an explanation?"
The golden flame figure suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
"Life and death are ruled by fate, why should I explain? Immortal Emperor Peak has always been a place of opportunity. You continually placed your child here, hoping it would absorb the fortunes of those who came after. This time it backfired, and whom can you blame?"
The silver-faced man scoffed coldly, unafraid of the golden flame figure.
It turned out that the Golden Crow atop the Immortal Emperor Peak was not always the same one.
Whenever a golden crow came of age, the golden flame figure would take it away and replace it with a new juvenile crow.
"Then you must at least tell me who the murderer is!"
The voice of the golden flame figure was like gritting teeth, fury and murderous intent woven together.
"I have nothing to tell you."
The silver-faced man's words nearly made him vomit blood.
"Tai Yi, you should leave now, follow your brother's example, vie for luck across the world, rather than engaging in such petty schemes."
The voice of the silver-faced man turned somewhat cold, his intent to disperse was plainly apparent.
This golden flame figure was none other than Eastern Emperor Tai Yi!
The supreme ruler of the Demon Clan, brother to Di Jun, named Tai Yi, titled Eastern Emperor, known among the Golden Crow Divine Race as Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Di Jun, strategic and foresighted, chose not to reveal Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, wanting to keep him as a hidden ace for the Golden Crow Divine Race.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi scoffed coldly and turned away then and there.
The vengeance for killing his son, he noted firmly.
Should he ever discover who the true culprit was, he would show no mercy!
...
Above the green mountains and blue waters, Su Yie and others were traveling in the sky on a wooden boat.
"Just a short distance ahead is our Great Qin's teleportation array, and in no more than five days, we will reach Xianyang of Great Qin."
Noble Prince Shangye said to Su Yie with a smile, his interest in Su Yie driving him to want to know more about him.

Xianyang!
Su Yie's face showed no emotion, yet his heart was full of exclamations.
The eastern lands were completely a battleground for the various dynasties of Hua Xia, he increasingly felt that Ancient Wilderness and Earth were inseparably connected.
"The Three Dynasties' Saint Competition is a tradition of Great Zhou, Great Qin, and Great Xia, held once every hundred years, continuing for three thousand years now. Initially, to resist the Malevolent Matriarch of Baili, the Three Dynasties suffered heavy losses, hence set up the Saint Competition, each dynasty putting forth cultivating resources for the winner to use, aiming to nurture top talents of the Human Clan."
"Unlike the trials of clans and sects, the competition also tests wisdom, thus allowing each participant to bring along two guards, with only one restriction: the bone age of the Human Clan must be under one hundred years, and for the Demon Clan under five hundred years."
At this, Noble Prince Shangye couldn't help asking, "You must not be over five hundred years old, right...?"
Bailing Demon Lord, reputed as a prodigy of the new generation among the Demon Clan—many say he is very young, but no exact age is documented.
Su Yie nodded lightly, just over twenty years old, a fact that could astonish countless geniuses.
Seeing him nod, Noble Prince Shangye then revealed a slight smile.
"Those geniuses on the Heavenly Ranking List will also participate in the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, won't they? Its influence is no longer limited to the Three Dynasties. If the Demon Lord joins the battle, it's very easy for him to be exposed to those enemies who hold grudges against him, a single Immortal Sword may not be enough."
Han Yuandao suddenly spoke up, his expression subtle, smiling intently at Noble Prince Shangye.
Upon hearing this, Noble Prince Shangye chuckled lightly, "When we reach Xianyang, I will definitely offer miraculous pills and medicines, heavenly and earthly treasures, I will not let the Demon Lord suffer a loss."
He silently cursed Han Yuandao for his shamelessness!
He also knew the capabilities of the Great Cang Invincible Body, so his heart was bleeding.
Han Yuandao smiled and nodded.
The group continued onward.
Meanwhile, the battle at the Immortal Slaying Stage had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Lands.
The Nameless Imperial Ancestor died suddenly!
The elders of the Human Emperor Temple were forced to retreat!
The Divine Physique Hall ceased to exist!
The name of the Bailing Demon Lord once again shook the world.
This time, the common folk no longer mocked him for overestimating himself, but were shocked instead.
"The Bailing Demon Lord is too powerful!"
"Even the Divine Physique Hall could be overturned; what kind of colossus stands behind him?"
"Even the Five Emperors of the Demon Race might not be able to destroy the Divine Physique Hall!"
"It's said that the Demon Lord is no longer a Half-Demon, but a Golden Crow!"
"Golden Crow? The legendary Royal Family among Demons?"
The news that Su Yie was a Golden Crow also spread, elevating his reputation to unprecedented heights.
Even within Emperor Su's Sect, praises were abundant.
Overlord Luo Fu: Demon Lord, you might replace the Fire Hell Demon Emperor in the future.
Tang Qingtian: Grandpa Su is impressive! My elders in the Sword Sect are also talking about him.
Elder Lord Qi Yang: If wealthy, do not forget each other!
Wux Qingyao: I always knew this day would come, just didn't expect it so soon.
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Unfortunately, it's too late to join the battle; I wanted to spar with the Nameless Imperial Ancestor.
Ren Wolang: Demon Lord, you qualify to be my brother; I will protect you from now on!
Ren Wokuang: You fool, our foster father thinks highly of him.
Ren Wolang: Foster father? Brother Su, I was wrong! I take back what I said earlier!
...
Inside Emperor Su's Sect, except for Yue Qinglong and the Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, everyone was bubbling with comments.
They all knew Su Yie's achievements could not be separated from Emperor Su's assistance, making other members admire Emperor Su even more and contribute resources.
At that moment, another image appeared in Su Yie's mind.
Repository of the Dao list!
This was a newly optimized feature of the Great Dao Communication Device, listing resources in the Repository of the Dao with thumbnail images and the names of contributors.
Demon Wolf Star had handed over more than forty magic artifacts; it looked like a lot, but their grades were not high.
The Empress of the Great Zhou followed closely behind, having already contributed over thirty treasures, most of which were Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Demon Lord Qing Yan, Overlord Luo Fu, God of Slaughter Gong Sunqi, Shangguan Wuji, Xiahou Jinxuan, Corpse Ghost King Xue Li followed closely.
Others were stingy, contributing less than ten treasures.
Especially Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, and the Human Clan hero, Feng Lie, who did not contribute further beyond their sect initiation resources.
Privately, Su Yie felt thrilled with so many heavenly and earthly treasures and pills, enough for him to splurge for a long time.
With that thought, he sat down cross-legged and shamelessly devoured the Spirit Pills in front of everyone.
He was pouring them into his mouth by the bottleful, causing facial twitches in Noble Prince Shangxie and the five generals.
"The Great Cang Invincible Body, truly lives up to its name."
After a long time, Noble Prince Shangxie managed to squeeze out this statement.
What else could he say?
Nothing but crawling flattery and more flattery.
Three days later, another piece of news shocked the world!
The Heavenly Ranking List was updated!
The first place had changed!
Bailing Demon Lord Su Yie, with the Great Cang Invincible Body and bloodline of the Golden Crow Imperial Clan, the marvel of Mystical City, who destroyed the Divine Physique Hall, ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking List!
This news quickly spread to the Central Region of the Eastern Lands and continued to diffuse to the surrounding areas!
