Master of the Demon Emperor

Convince Qingyi Sect?

The bearded cultivator was overjoyed inside, but he showed a hesitant expression on his face.

In fact, he had already received news that Qingyi Sect was very interested in Mystical City. However, as a major faction of the Orthodox Path, they were unsure of the reason to deploy.

He pretended to be troubled and said, "Qingyi Sect is so high and mighty, wanting to request their movement..."

"If you don't agree, then forget it."

Su Yie waved his hand, refusing to give others the opportunity to extort him.

In his heart, he lamented, Xiwan City, I have done my best, now it's up to you.

If there's no backup, using the Divine Shadow Legion this time would be in vain.

Thinking this, Su Yie took Nan Xiaopao and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

The bearded cultivator quickly stopped Su Yie, showed a look of difficult decision, and gritted his teeth, "Fine! I'll just stake my old face! After all, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of lives!"

The other three elders couldn't help but roll their eyes, this guy really knew how to act.

Su Yie turned his head to look at the bearded cultivator, not surprised but calmly said, "Send the message now!"

He wasn't foolish, for he had learned from Emperor Su's Sect group chat that Qingyi Sect was among the forces concerned about Xiwan City.

The reason he chose Qingyi Sect was also because, through understanding, he knew that Qingyi Sect was truly an honorable sect, not governed by hypocrites.

He was now promising the bearded cultivator, hoping to get Qingyi Sect to arrive sooner.

As for favors?

Ha! Let's wait until Great Wei comes looking for him!

Thus, the bearded cultivator happily took out paper and pen, and sent a message by carrier pigeon, little did he know that Su Yie appeared calm but was actually viewing him as a fool.

Nan Xiaopao pouted, she wanted to speak but stopped herself, and in the end did not say anything.

According to what her mother said, a woman can be commanding and imposing at home, but must give men face when outside.

Meanwhile, the Bat Empress continued to surveil Xiwan City, seeking the Sacred Lotus of Qiling and the Sacred Body of Qiling.

Under the thunderclouds, her Demon Army was incredibly terrifying, sending the whole city into panic, with everyone hiding in their homes.

Tan Quanming didn't dare make a big fuss and specifically had someone communicate with the citizens of Xiwan City through the official website via text, consistently calming the residents.

He even had the residents prepare to abandon the city and run at any moment.

Under the official website, comments rapidly appeared.

"Why won't Su Yie help us?"

"Exactly! Su Yie is so powerful!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Are you idiots? Su Yie was injured before!"

"How long has it been? Isn't he better yet? We're all fellow Earthlings!"

"City Lord, please ask Su Yie for help!"

Most comments mentioned Su Yie, as people tend to depend on the strong, especially in critical moments.

Tan Quanming thought of Su Yie as well but couldn't bring himself to trouble Su Yie again and again, asking Su Yie to risk his life.

Zhang Yicheng, who served as Tan Quanming's chief bodyguard, spoke up, "Let me go find Su Yie?"

Tan Quanming hesitated, caught in a decision.

At this moment, the Bat Empress in the sky above the city commanded, "Slaughter the city!"

The Bat Empress, having heard of the Black Scaled King's tragedy and seeing various forces stirring recently, did not want to delay.

As her words fell, all bats and Demon Birds dove down, like the sky falling, invading Xiwan City.

Doomsday descended once again.

In the north of the city, a man in black walked on the street. Seeing this scene, he shivered all over.

It was Demon Wolf Star.

"Damn! The Bat Empress really is ruthless, truly slaughtering the city without batting an eye!"

Demon Wolf Star cursed under his breath and immediately rushed into the city.

He had to find the Sacred Lotus of Qiling before the massacre of the city ended.

He came to the Land of Qiling not out of curiosity sparked by a chat with members of Emperor Su's Sect; his goal was the Sacred Lotus of Qiling.

If he could steal the Sacred Lotus of Qiling, then his fame would soar.

A man's journey in life pursues nothing beyond fame and profit.

Meanwhile, countless Demon Birds swooped down, rampaging through Xiwan City, this steel forest.

Su Yie, Nan Xiaopao, and the Four Elders of Great Wei also witnessed this scene, which made them all deeply moved.

A bearded cultivator hurriedly shouted, "Run away!"

Nan Xiaopao also grabbed Su Yie's hand, wanting to flee with him.

However, she didn't move him.

"What are you doing?"

Nan Xiaopao asked anxiously. Seeing the sharp look in Su Yie's eyes, she immediately understood his intention.

She became exasperated and quickly persuaded him, "Big brother! Stop fighting back! Once or twice is enough, do you really think you're some undying roach?"

"Superheroes only exist in sci-fi movies. We're in the Ancient Wilderness; how many times can you save them? They ultimately have to rely on themselves! Surviving ourselves is already an issue!"

The Four Elders of Great Wei also halted, exchanging looks.

Has this Half-Demon gone mad?

Thinking he can defeat the Bat Empress after defeating the Black Scaled King and Kuang Chu'e?

He's delusional!

Seeing that Su Yie was unmoved, Nan Xiaopao clenched her teeth, grabbed Su Yie's right hand tightly, and sighed, "Forget it, if we're to die, let's die together. I'm sticking with you no matter where you go, even to death."

The Four Elders of Great Wei grew anxious. If Su Yie died, what would happen to the favors he owed them?

"Don't be foolish! Let's go! How powerful is the Bat Empress! Only a Sword Saint or Demon Lord could defeat her!" the Female Cultivator shouted frantically, thinking Su Yie had gone mad.

Su Yie ignored her; he was not insane.

Apart from not being able to bear it, he still had his own goal.

Each major victory gave him one more chance to pull someone in, and encounters with the Bat Empress were rare.

Besides, the Demon Wolf Star had also arrived at Xiwan City.

Just right to intimidate him!

Thinking this, Su Yie's eyes became even more resolute. He gently patted Nan Xiaopao's hand and smiled, "Just follow me closely!"

With that thought, he briskly walked toward the skyscraper a few hundred meters ahead—his target!

Seeing Su Yie ignore their advice, the Four Elders of Great Wei could only turn and leave.

Su Yie's favors weren't as heavy as their lives.

Soon, they disappeared at the end of the street.

Meanwhile, carnage unfolded in Xiwan City, screams everywhere under the dark stormy sky, making everything appear profoundly horrific.

Wux Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and others were also fleeing, heading directly towards Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao.

"This guy can't be thinking of fighting the Bat Empress, can he?"

Mo Haosheng thought exasperatedly, and he wasn't the only one; others thought the same.

Though they disliked Su Yie's Half-Demon identity, they had to admit, this Half-Demon's sense of justice for the Human Clan was overwhelming, definitely looking to die for Mystical City.

Wux Qingyao frowned, initially wanting to speak, but seeing Su Yie holding Nan Xiaopao, she hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Even if she did, it probably wouldn't change anything, especially since she wasn't close to Su Yie.

Just like that, Su Yie and she passed by each other.

This scene made Mo Haosheng secretly relieved, as it seemed he had misunderstood Wux Qingyao.

Nan Xiaopao noticed Wux Qingyao's look and couldn't help but whisper, "Su Yie, do you know the female disciple from the Luoshui Sect?"

Wux Qingyao seemed like a fairy, which made Nan Xiaopao somewhat resistant, especially the way Wux Qingyao looked at Su Yie.

"Not really."

Su Yie answered quickly, his attention focused on the Bat Empress, so he didn't answer seriously.
