Master of the Demon Emperor

"Challenge the Demon Lord? With your strength, do you even need to challenge? Judging by your performance just now, the Demon Lord is probably no match for you,"

Su Yie said without changing his expression. He needed to send this guy away lest he really stir up trouble at Yaojian Mountain.

Li Huahun suddenly stopped, staring at Su Yie, and said, "Why do I feel like you know me? Have we met somewhere before?"

Of course we have!

I relied on your shadow to slay enemies numerous times!

Su Yie hummed in his heart, but shook his head expressionlessly on the surface and said, "I have never met you before, but I wish I knew someone as strong as you."

"Alright, then we are friends from now on!"

Li Huahun stared intently at Su Yie as he spoke.

Su Yie was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you being a bit rash?"

Is this the same Li Huahun who would kill someone's entire family over a disagreement?

He seemed completely different from the Li Huahun in Emperor Su's Sect.

But thinking back to the earlier scene of Li Huahun slaughtering the eighty-one ghosts of Green Hill, he suddenly sobered up.

This guy might be pretending!

Moreover, he always felt that Li Huahun's presence here was no coincidence.

"Not rash. Mainly, your aura makes me very comfortable. Since I was born, you are the first person I've felt good about," Li Huahun said, his gaze fixed on Su Yie as if there were flowers on Su Yie's face.

At this moment, Great Wei's soldiers also gathered, looking at the corpses on the street, their scalps tingling.

The eighty-one ghosts of Green Hill died too miserably!

All without intact corpses!

"Hiss— are they all dead?"

"Be careful, those are ghost ritual artifacts!"

"Not necessarily, perhaps they are the bones of a cultivator from the city."

"Right, still be cautious!"

The soldiers cautiously approached the ghost ritual artifacts, while Su Yie and Li Huahun quietly left and moved to another street hundreds away.

At this moment, the city's cultivators and civilians all gathered elsewhere, so only the two of them were on the street.

After dusk, night fell, and it gradually grew dark.

"What's your name?"

Li Huahun asked, his eyes clear, showing no hint of malice.

Su Yie replied, "Su Yie."

"Hmm, I'm leaving now. Having met you, I don't need to go to Yaojian Mountain anymore. See you again if fate allows."

Li Huahun turned and jumped to the top of a nearby loft. Su Yie quickly asked, "Wait! Why are you looking for me?"

He didn't believe Li Huahun's words, that it was just a coincidence to meet him and like his aura.

Without turning his head, Li Huahun dropped a sentence, "In the vast Ancient Wilderness, only you and I are not bound by the fate decreed by heavens."

Fate not bound by the heavens?

Su Yie frowned. What did that sentence mean?

Could Li Huahun also be a time traveler?

No!

There were a whole city's worth of people who traveled with him; it definitely didn't refer to time traveling.

Su Yie fell into deep thought, holding that sentence firmly in his mind, feeling it was not a simple message.

Unable to figure it out, he no longer dwelled on it.

Soon, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon learning that Su Yie had slain all eighty-one ghosts of Green Hill, Cheng Tao was thrilled and immediately took Su Yie to the city treasury with Xiang Yu following, as instructed by Su Yie. After all, Xiang Yu was well-informed, at least more so than Su Yie.

The treasury was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, located in an underground chamber. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

The chamber was spacious, filled with piles of gold and silver treasures, magic artifacts, and cabinets displaying various miraculous pills and medicines along with heavenly and earthly treasures.

"This is the Tiger Bone Pill, very suitable for demons' body refinement."

"This is the Golden Spirit Flower, which blooms only once in a thousand years."

"This one's not bad either, said to come from Lotus Root, though it's uncertain whether it's true or not."

"Wow, my lord, this one's a must-have..."

Listening to Xiang Yu's suggestions, Cheng Tao's mouth twitched, and the generals behind him hesitated to speak, watching Su Yie continuously gathering treasures, their hearts aching.

"Heaven is jealous of me too!"

Cheng Tao groaned inwardly, as most of the treasures he had accumulated over the years had been chosen by Xiang Yu.

He had already promised Su Yie, and given the legends about Su Yie, he could only endure it.

A full incense stick of time had passed before Su Yie, completely satisfied, took Xiang Yu and left.

Cheng Tao felt so heartbroken he could barely breathe and didn't escort Su Yie personally. Instead, he had a general take Su Yie and his companion to rest, planning to use the teleportation array the next day to send Su Yie to the border to participate in the war.

He didn't dare vent his frustrations now, as Su Yie was a trump card invited by Great Wei.

...

Late at night.

Su Yie was meditating inside the house, and Xiang Yu was staying in the next room. The courtyard was guarded by soldiers, ensuring their safety.

The war of the Seven Dynasties had already entangled the righteous and the demonic paths, and his current strength was not yet enough to determine the outcome of the universe.

At this moment, in Emperor Su's Sect, Li Huahun suddenly spoke.

Li Huahun: I met the Demon Lord today too, he's indeed impressive. His future achievements will definitely surpass Old Dog Shangguan.

Black Tiger Emperor: Damn! The big guy is online!

Elder Lord Qi Yang: Senior Li also encountered the Demon Lord?

Wux Qingyao: You didn't do anything to him, did you?

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: How is he?

Overlord Luo Fu: Hmm, are you the guy who made Shangguan Wuji submit?

...

Su Yie twitched his mouth as he read. Evidently, Li Huahun had recognized his identity.

Wux Qingyao and Xia Tianyi warmed his heart; their first concern was for his safety.

Normally, Shangguan Wuji would jump out and boast at this point, but tonight with Li Huahun around, he probably wouldn't dare show up.

While Su Yie continued to cultivate, he watched their chat, making his observation not so dull.

The topic soon shifted from him to the war of the Seven Dynasties.

Li Zuxuan and Demon Lord Qing Yan took sides, claiming that Mighty Tang would definitely win. Wux Qingyao, Wuu You, and Ling Sang opposed the war, criticizing them.

A verbal battle continued until late into the night.

Su Yie actually learned quite a bit from this. First, both the Demon Sect and Mighty Tang were resolute, wanting to unify the Seven Dynasties.

Second, Jiaye Temple was very concerned about the war of the Seven Dynasties.

Third, Overlord Luo Fu was also watching this war and even joked about possibly getting involved.

Adding to this were Li Huahun and Xue Li, who were also within the Seven Dynasties.

The situation was deeper than Su Yie had anticipated.

He decided to only lend a hand for Great Wei once; otherwise, he was done if he got too involved.

The night deepened.

A cold wind blew in from the window, and in the candleless room, Su Yie hid in the darkness. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and two sharp beams flashed through them.

"Who's there?"

Su Yie whispered sharply, feeling as if he was being watched.

"Stop looking. You won't find me, for we are not in the same dimension,"

the voice of Xuanyuan Human Emperor entered Su Yie's ears, sending chills down his spine.

The very existence he dreaded most had sought him out.

Su Yie struggled to remain calm and asked softly, "What do you want?"

"I sent you to Ancient Wilderness; why have you chosen the Demon Path?"

Xuanyuan Human Emperor asked, his voice calm yet exerting great pressure on Su Yie.

After all, Xuanyuan Human Emperor held unfathomable divine skills.

"I had no choice."

Su Yie replied, his heart settling down as well.

Thinking back to the pains of his initial journey through dimensions, his anger was hard to contain.

"Remember your identity. You are human, not a demon."

Xuanyuan Human Emperor continued, his tone slightly warning.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
