Master of the Demon Emperor

The reason I chose the Divine Ghost Emperor was because his name seemed the strongest.

Sure enough, once this person joined the Sect, even the Black Tiger Emperor dared not tease him, only Tang Qingtian and Ren Wopiao still skirted the edge of death by brazenly testing him.

"Emperor Su's Sect is becoming more and more powerful, we need to keep up with the pace or we'll end up like Tang Qingtian and Ren Wokuang, mere jesters."

Su Yie advised Nan Xiaopao, appearing highly conscious of potential crises.

However, he was inwardly laughing uproariously.

He was looking forward to the day when he would reveal himself as Emperor Su. What would the expression on Nan Xiaopao's face be?

The very thought excited him a little.

Nan Xiaopao had no idea what Su Yie was thinking. She nodded earnestly and said, "If we can't keep up in strength, we wouldn't even dare to speak within the Sect."

For instance, members like Li Mengde, Li Zuxuan, and He Youming from the initial stages of Emperor Su's Sect dared not interject while the big shots were talking. Only late at night, or when no one else was speaking, would they unleash their pent-up words, serving as the Sect's seasoning.

Such was the Emperor Su's Sect, with people talking at all hours of the day, and new members joining in an explosive frenzy.

The Divine Ghost Emperor was extremely arrogant, even furious, believing he was being mocked.

It wasn't until Yang Jian and the Tai Su Sword Lord turned up that he finally fell silent.

After learning about the origin of Emperor Su's Sect, the Divine Ghost Emperor hesitated for a while but eventually chose to join the Sect and contributed the resources required for admission.

He offered a Ghost Artifact of Seventh Grade quality, which for an Extraterrestrial power, seemed quite petty.

It's worth mentioning that the Northern War God also knew the Divine Ghost Emperor and even had a grudge against him, though it was not a mortal vendetta.

It was said that the Divine Ghost Emperor was a Ghost Emperor from an Extraterrestrial realm, with Divine Skills so strong that even Extraterrestrial Immortal Gods could not do anything to him.

Su Yie felt smug within, my judgment is as sharp as ever.

"Demon Emperor, could you perhaps slow down?"

The voice of Qing Jushi floated from behind, tinged with a melancholic grievance.

Su Yie pretended not to hear and instead urged the Ant Queen to speed up even more.

He wanted to see whether Qing Jushi was all bark and no bite, or deliberately concealing his strength.

No matter how fast the Ant Queen flew, Qing Jushi managed to keep up, always looking exhausted, but somehow, he just wouldn't collapse.

Afterward, the Ant Queen didn't stop but intended to fly straight to the Immortal Forbidden Zone.

...

Beneath a sky filled with thunderclouds, an eerie castle stood on the land, daunting and foreboding.

Within the castle, in a grand hall, a Blood Robe elder was in the midst of a thunderous rage. He was burly, over two meters tall, his pallid hair coiled atop his head, lips blood-red, and even the sockets of his eyes appeared red, menacing like a Fierce Demon, instilling fear at a glance.

"Find out for me! I want to see who dares to kill my son!"

"I will make them wish they were dead!"

The Blood Robe elder roared repeatedly, causing dozens of black-clad people kneeling below to tremble violently.

He glared at the black-clad men and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Scram!"

"Yes!"

The black-clad men immediately disappeared, turning into wisps of black smoke.

A middle-aged man in black brocade emerged from the darkness, his attire deluxe and malevolent, his presence filled with the authority of a superior being. He pondered aloud, "Based on the images relayed back from the Golden Spirit, the other party is likely connected to Emperor Su's Sect. There's mention of the Golden Crow and Emperor Jiang Mo, clearly indicating they are not from the Southern Wilderness—otherwise, how could they not recognize the name of Second Young Master Xiang?"

The Blood Robe elder attempted to calm his emotions and said, "Emperor Su's Sect?"

At the mention of this name, his eyes shone flickeringly.

He had heard various rumors about Emperor Su's Sect—a Sect whose depths were unfathomable. Unless necessary, it was best not to provoke them.

His most beloved and esteemed son had been killed, and that was something he could not tolerate!

"We could pass the information to the Holy Pool and use them to strike indirectly. Since they've been humiliated by the Supreme Dragon Shaking, their reputation is in tatters. If they find out the whereabouts of other members of Emperor Su's Sect, they are bound to act," suggested the middle-aged man in brocade, prompting the Blood Robe elder to contemplate deeply.

Even if he still sought revenge, he first needed to understand the true strength of Emperor Su's Sect, lest he capsize in the gutter.

"Hmm, you arrange it, within half a year, I want the corpses of those two!"

The elder in the Blood Robe waved his sleeve, his tone brooking no refusal.

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe bowed with clasped hands and then disappeared into the darkness.

…

Su Yie, who was cultivating atop the Ant Queen's head, was unaware that the tycoon of the Demon Path in the Southern Wilderness had set his sights on him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Fifteen days had passed since the battle in the depths of the earth.

It was worth mentioning that he could not store the Jade Bracelet in the Repository of the Dao or the Storage Ring, perhaps because it housed a living Candle Dragon, and the Repository of the Dao didn't accept living beings.

Su Yie turned and asked, "How much further to the Immortal Forbidden Zone?"

According to the map, it seemed they were close.

The map was somewhat blurry, and some of the mountains and rivers no longer existed; if Qing Jushi had not been there, they would surely have gotten lost.

According to Qing Jushi, they had not been deceived; it was just that the map was too ancient, and the times had changed.

Su Yie still felt irritated at heart and decided that once he had the chance to pass that city, he would definitely settle accounts with that fat elder.

"Soon, at most five days. The Immortal Forbidden Zone is vast, and we can start by getting a feel for the situation at the periphery," Qing Jushi responded weakly from behind, like a beaten dog.

Don't be fooled by his weariness. The fellow had been following them for fifteen days, acting like this every day, yet he had not died of exhaustion.

Su Yie turned back, looking towards the end of the horizon, filled with anticipation for the Immortal Gate, yet also with a trace of worry.

This journey to the Immortal Forbidden Zone would probably be fraught with danger.

"Li Huahun requests to be teleported beside Su Yie, do you agree?"

Just then, a request popped into Su Yie's mind, causing him to freeze.

Could it be that Li Huahun had come out of seclusion?

He hesitated for a moment but accepted the request.

The journey ahead was dangerous, and having one more combatant couldn't be better.

Li Huahun's father had unfathomable strength, comparable even to an Immortal God, and the training these past days might have brought about a leap in Li Huahun's strength, especially since he was touted so highly within Emperor Su's Sect.

Immediately following, a figure materialized behind him, a handsome young man dressed in white.

Li Huahun!

Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao both stood up and turned to look.

"Why have you come?"

Nan Xiaopao asked warily, her face full of hostility.

Li Huahun ignored her and nodded to Su Yie, saying, "Su Yie, long time no see."

Su Yie narrowed his eyes; he found that he could not see through Li Huahun.

Could it be that Li Huahun had progressed faster than him during this period?

Seeming to detect Su Yie's confusion, Li Huahun explained, "My strength has always been suppressed. Recently, some of it was released. Do you know how old I am?"

"How old?" Su Yie asked.

"A secret."

"…"

Su Yie rolled his eyes and suddenly felt an urge to kick Li Huahun over the edge.

Just at that moment, Qing Jushi suddenly flew to the side of the Ant Queen. He twisted his head and stared at Li Huahun, exclaiming, "Demon Emperor! Be careful, keep your distance from him!"
