Master of the Demon Emperor

As the Demon Wolf Star watched the Divine Shadows slay demons, he turned his head to look at the ground, his expression was extremely gloomy. Wasn't his shadow right there?

Why had another popped up?

At that moment, he noticed the words of Wux Qingyao within Emperor Su's Sect in his mind.

Wux Qingyao, "Are those shadows Emperor Su's divine skills?"

Black Tiger Emperor, "Shadows? What shadows?"

Demon Wolf Star, "Emperor Su? Oh my! No wonder, I encountered a shadow with all my strength and spells! It's exactly like my shadow!"

Emperor Su, "Hmm, this is this Emperor's divine skill, creating shadows of you all that are identical in strength. This Emperor has named it the Divine Shadow Legion and will send them to assist you when you're in trouble in the future!"

Demon Wolf Star, "Hold on! Divine Shadow Legion? Was it the shadow of Xia Tianyi that just slew the Bat Empress?"

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi, "My shadow?"

Su Yie added another pretense in his mind, then opened his eyes and smiled at Nan Xiaopao, "Open your eyes."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Nan Xiaopao was as antsy as a cat ready to pounce, having wanted to open her eyes for ages, so at his word, she immediately did.

"What happened?"

Nan Xiaopao hurriedly asked, instinctively looking up only to see no trace of the Bat Empress, just a hundred-meter-long hole in the rolling thunderclouds.

Su Yie shrugged and said, "A mysterious strongperson just made a move and killed the Bat Empress in a second. I didn't even get a chance to lift a finger."

He even feigned a regretful sigh, as though he was a battle maniac.

"Is that so?"

Nan Xiaopao gave him a skeptical look, then walked to the railing and looked over the entire city.

At this time, the screams in Xiwan City had considerably lessened while the roars of monsters had increased.

Although the Divine Shadow Legion was only six people strong, they demonstrated overwhelming power that swept away everything.

The half-hour limit seemed rather long now.

Su Yie, holding Nan Xiaopao, leaped down, landing on the street, and asked her, "Anything else you want? We need to be quick, we're about to leave this city!"

Nan Xiaopao shook her head, "No need anymore, I should get used to not relying on modern society's products."

On hearing this, Su Yie laughed and immediately took Nan Xiaopao's hand and started walking out of the city.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looking back at Xiwan City, now engulfed in flames and dust, and sighed softly, "I hope you remember this pain and strive to cultivate!"

Nan Xiaopao tugged at him, consoling, "Stop thinking about it, you could not have done better for this city! Without you, they'd probably all be dead."

Although she also felt some pity, she did not want to see Su Yie risking his life to fight.

The two quickly left the city.

Elsewhere, the Divine Shadow Legion swept through all the demons within Xiwan City and quickly descended underground. When they reemerged, they appeared behind Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao, following behind them, unnoticed by Nan Xiaopao.

From the appearance of the Divine Shadow Legion to the end of the war, it took less than fifteen minutes, demonstrating their formidable power.

Even so, Xiwan City had countless casualties, with fewer than one hundred thousand people surviving.

Because of the thunderclouds obscuring the Sky Dome, the woods were dark and gloomy, as if numerous monsters and demons were lurking, spying in the shadows. Any mortal entering here would surely be trembling in fear.

"By the way, how is your auntie's family doing?"

Su Yie asked, wondering if this girl had actually forgotten her own relatives.

"Manting was selected by the Luoshui Sect for her exceptional talent. They made an exception and took her parents to the Luoshui Sect."

Nan Xiaopao replied, which made Su Yie come to a realization.

Wasn't Nan Xiaopao all alone these days?

Su Yie felt a touch of guilt but said nothing, just kept it in his heart.

"So, where are we heading next?"

Nan Xiaopao curiously asked, for they knew nothing about the Ancient Wilderness.

Upon hearing this, Su Yie smiled and said, "First, let's go to the plains, I need to gather my subordinates."

Subordinates?

Could it be the monsters from the Land of Qiling?

Nan Xiaopao instantly guessed the truth, after all, Su Yie had mentioned they would be dealing with monsters in the future.

She didn't bear too much aversion towards the monsters of the Land of Qiling; after all, those monsters hadn't disturbed Xiwan City during this time.

Moreover, those monsters would become subordinates to Su Yie.

Soon, they crossed through the woods and arrived above the plains, where the Divine Shadow Legion also dissipated.

To use it again, they would have to wait a month.

With the fall of the Bat Empress, the thunderclouds began to disperse, and streaks of sunlight drenched the land, shining inside Xiwan City as if heralding the arrival of peace and light.

Su Yie took Nan Xiaopao to a huge rock, leapt upon it with a bound, stood atop the rock and looked up to the sky, howling long and loud, his howl resonating powerfully under the thundercloud sky for a long time.

The surviving citizens of Xiwan City all heard his voice, and with the monsters inside the city already killed, they all thought it was thanks to Su Yie's efforts.

"Alas, we've been saved again..."

"How many people died… Next time, can Su Yie still save us?"

"Where should we go from here?"

"It's only me left... I'm scared...Mom...Dad..."

"Why must we face one disaster after another!"

After the brief war ended, there were no cheers of joy inside Xiwan City, and despair had yet to dissipate.

Time and time again, the losses had broken the hearts of most people.

Meanwhile, monsters from the Land of Qiling were all rushing towards the direction of the howling sound.

"Hurry up, everyone! The Great King is summoning us!"

The Purple Back Bear King was running at the fore, waving a wooden club studded with dozens of sharp teeth, followed by an impressive array of monsters of various races, most of whom had not condensed a Demon Core.

Nan Xiaopao felt the plains beginning to shake, growing more and more intense as if thousands of troops were approaching.

She suddenly got nervous, and Su Yie suddenly picked her up and leaped back atop the huge rock.

"In the future, I want to become a Demon King, what do you think?"

Su Yie spoke softly, fearful that Nan Xiaopao might harbor a strong aversion to demons.

Now that he had been diagnosed as a Five Elements Extreme Pulse Body, he could only become a Demon Cultivator, committed to this path indefinitely.

If he wanted to return to Earth, he had to find the Xuanyuan Human Emperor, or reach a height equivalent to the Xuanyuan Human Emperor's.

"Of course, that's great; this way, you can be safer."

Without a second thought, Nan Xiaopao replied directly.

Letting Su Yie venture alone in the Demon Clan, she was even more uneasy, so she wanted to follow him.

Ever since awakening the Sacred Body of Qiling, she was full of confidence that she would definitely be able to help Su Yie in the future.

Upon hearing this, Su Yie's face immediately broke into a joyful smile.

Soon, the first batch of monsters arrived, surrounding the rock and prostrating themselves on the ground, circle after circle, with as many as two to three hundred.

After a while, the Purple Back Bear King arrived with the main force, and the number of monsters gathered there exceeded ten thousand.

"Great King, is the Bat Empress dead?"

The Purple Back Bear King asked cautiously, his gaze flitting nervously towards Xiwan City, fearing discovery by the Bat Empress.

The other monsters were also trembling with fright; the oppressive might of the Bat Empress had been so powerful that all the monsters of the Land of Qiling combined would not be enough for her to slay.
