Master of the Demon Emperor

What's this sound?

Everyone tensed up, as the sound just now seemed to be buzzing in their ears, making their scalps tingle.

The Four Elders of Great Wei were in an uproar.

"It's really her... the Bat Empress!"

The cultivator with the goat beard spoke with a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear.

The female cultivator said, "Let's go, this mission is doomed to fail."

The Sovereign of Great Wei had sent them not only to persuade Su Yie but also to take control of Xiwan City, but now it seemed the Sovereign of Great Wei had been too optimistic.

Their power was not yet enough to swallow Mystical City!

"Wait a bit longer!"

Another cultivator spoke up. There was no hierarchy among the Four Elders of Great Wei; each one was as close as brothers, so his words also calmed the others.

If they ran before the Bat Empress even appeared, how embarrassing would that be once it got out?

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

"Chirp chirp—"

Just then, a chorus of hissing and chirping erupted from the west of the city, as if countless bats and bird demons were shrieking together.

Looking toward the source of the sound, a dense mass was sweeping in from the horizon, stirring up the thunder of a thousand pounds.

"The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"

"Oh my God, what is that sound?"

"It's from the west of the city, come up and look, what is that?"

"How terrifying, could it be a bird demon army?"

The satellite that had just launched broadcasted the scene onto the official website of Xiwan City, terrorizing all the citizens.

Peace had not lasted long before crisis descended again.

"We cannot match their strength; retreat is the best option."

Just then, Feng Long's voice suddenly echoed in Su Yie's mind.

Even it was saying they could not match the strength, meaning that the newcomers were beyond the Nascent Soul Realm!

Su Yie's heart sank slightly as he faced a difficult choice; if he left, Xiwan City would surely fall into dreadful ruin, because the Demon Clan had always been cruel to humans, for whom they showed no mercy—they were merely food.

"What are you thinking about?"

Nan Xiaopao held Su Yie's hand tightly, asking with concern.

Su Yie pondered, "This time the enemy is no ordinary foe."

He didn't go into detail, but Nan Xiaopao understood what he meant.

"Shall we run away?"

Nan Xiaopao suggested empathetically. She understood the pressure on Su Yie but he had already risked his life for Xiwan City multiple times, and he had done more than enough.

She cared about Su Yie more than the entire city.

Su Yie didn't answer; he too was hesitant.

With the Divine Shadow Legion on their side, he could help Xiwan City avert one crisis, but what about the next?

In the time to come, with various powers converging, even if he stayed, the odds were grim.

"Let's wait and see."

Su Yie sighed, not because he had the heart of a saint, but because he felt a connection with his fellow Hua Xia people from Earth; if he could lend a hand, he would.

Meanwhile, the bat and bird demon army had already flown over Xiwan City, appearing like a horde of devils roaring under the rolling thunderclouds.

Most of the bats were as big as eagles, and other bird demons were even larger, with some wing spans reaching thirty feet, like airplanes hovering in the sky.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This time the number of the Demon Army far exceeded the last one led by the Black Scaled King, with at least a million in their ranks.

Upon witnessing this scene, anyone would feel powerless.

The City Lord, Tan Quanming, upon seeing this, collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale, murmuring to himself, "It's over... it's all over..."

Behind him, Zhang Yicheng was also shaking with fear, having the urge to turn around and run.

"My heavens... it's all over..."

"Abandon the city and flee! Let whoever can survive, survive!"

"Why are there so many monsters attacking again? Do we have a feud with them?"

"Damn it! We haven't cultivated for long enough; this is just a death instance!"

"Did the Xuanyuan Human Emperor really want us to be saviors? He's just playing us!"

Everyone was panicking, and the cries of women and children rang out from every corner of the city.

Although they had embarked on the path of cultivation, their power was too weak, and they still had no means of resistance against the horde of demons.

Just then, thousands of bats scattered, revealing a bewitching and evil figure.

This was a woman with bat wings on her back. Although she was transformed, she wasn't fully human; her hands still resembled bat claws. Her blood-red hair danced wildly in the air, her countenance was enchantingly beautiful, she wore a long dress made of snakeskin, and her gaze was exceedingly sinister.

The Bat Empress!

A Great Demon even more fearsome than the Black Scaled King and Elder Lord Qi Yang!

She looked down upon Xiwan City and said, "All you need to do is hand over the Sacred Body of Qiling and swear allegiance to me, and you can live."

Her voice echoed throughout the city, reaching every corner.

They were being forced to submit, again!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Since they had crossed over to Ancient Wilderness, whom had they offended?

They were constantly treated as prey, toyed with at will; this feeling filled them with anger while also making them feel powerless.

In the Ancient Wilderness, there was no law to speak of.

It was survival of the fittest!

"She wants me?"

Nan Xiaopao frowned, she wasn't afraid, just very annoyed.

Su Yie stared at the Bat Empress and asked in his heart, "If you make a move, can you defeat her?"

"No, your physical body is not strong enough to withstand the power needed to defeat her."

Feng Long said decisively, causing Su Yie's heart to sink.

Just then, the Four Elders of Great Wei suddenly appeared in front of them.

The cultivator with a goat beard spoke up first, "Su Yie, come with us. That above is the Bat Empress, ruler of a Demon Race Kingdom. Xiwan City can't be saved!"

The other three also spoke out, all hoping Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao would go to Great Wei.

Even if they fled now, they would still be pursued and killed.

Su Yie didn't agree but asked, "If I repel the Bat Empress, can you take in Xiwan City?"

Upon hearing this, the Four Elders of Great Wei fell silent.

At the same time, Su Yie was inquiring within Emperor Su's Sect in his mind.

Emperor Su: Xia Tianyi, Demon Lord Qing Yan, who among you is stronger compared to the Bat Empress?

Black Tiger Emperor: The Bat Empress? Why? Have you taken a fancy to her?

Demon Wolf Star: I've already arrived at Mystical City and saw the Bat Empress. This old hag sure knows how to show off!

Demon Lord Qing Yan: The Bat Empress? Compare her with me?

Xia Tianyi: At most two strikes.

It must be said that Demon Lord Qing Yan and Xia Tianyi are two insufferable proud figures in Emperor Su's Sect, concise and arrogant to the point of having no friends.

Su Yie, having read this, instantly felt relieved.

He opened his eyes and pondered, "If you cannot protect Xiwan City, do you know any orthodox sects or Mighty Tang?"

Sooner or later, he was going to leave. Before that, he must find a guardian deity for Xiwan City, until the citizens have all grown stronger.

"Hmpf, Mighty Tang is overbearing; they would definitely exploit Xiwan City. As for orthodox sects, I know an elder of Qingyi Sect—I can send a message to them, it's just that..."

The cultivator with the goat beard hesitated.

Qingyi Sect, an orthodox sect, even the Luoshui Sect's branch can't compare to its power, an entity that even the Seven Dynasties must respect.

Su Yie immediately said, "As long as you can persuade them, I owe Great Wei a favor!"

The Demon Path, he did not dare trust. Orthodox sects might not necessarily embody true righteousness, but at least they wouldn't openly massacre the citizens of Xiwan City.
