Master of the Demon Emperor

In the midst of the desert.

A man in tattered clothes holding a spear grasped a bronze bow and shot arrows in succession, turning spiritual power into projectiles, targeting the Great Demon circling in the sky.

It was a monster with the head of an eagle and the body of a man, its wings flapping, concealing sounds of thunder and wind.

His speed was incredibly fast, always easily dodging the man with the spear's spiritual power golden arrows.

The spear-bearing man was none other than Zhao Rulong!

A general under the Ancestor of the Seven Dynasties, Wuu You, hailed as a war god-like figure by the Seven Dynasties.

Zhao Rulong, dressed simply yet standing tall and broad-shouldered, radiated an imposing aura of aged strength.

"Zhao Rulong, you've grown old! Why not quickly submit to our great king, otherwise, I'll make sure you suffer a miserable death!"

The Eagle Demon mocked, yet Zhao Rulong remained indifferent and continued shooting his arrows.

A kilometer away, Su Yie and Xiang Yu stopped and looked on at the Eagle Demon and Zhao Rulong, causing Su Yie to frown.

This Eagle Demon's aura was very strong, at least at the level of the Astral Projection Realm cultivation, so why would it appear in the Bailing Territory?

There were no Demon Kings of the Astral Projection Realm in Bailing Territory.

And what was Zhao Rulong doing here?

Thinking this, Su Yie closed his eyes and inquired in his mind.

Within Emperor Su's Sect.

Su Yie: Wuu You, why has your Zhao Rulong come to the Bailing Territory?

Demon Wolf Star: Zhao Rulong? The war god of the Seven Dynasties?

Ren Wokuang: What's so great about Zhao Rulong compared to my elder brother?

Tang Qingtian: We'll see how you grovel at my feet after your brother dies!

Wuu You: Zhao Rulong? He's still alive?

Xiahou Jinxuan: Keep on arguing! If you dare, don't stop!

...

Clearly, Wuu You was also confused and was unsure of the situation.

After Su Yie mentioned that Zhao Rulong was in trouble, Wuu You pleaded for his help, hoping Su Yie would intervene if Zhao Rulong faced danger; of course, if it was too risky, that would be another matter, and Wuu You wouldn't hold a grudge against Su Yie.

Su Yie didn't immediately agree, but he was inclined to lend a hand.

If he could win over Wuu You, that would be ideal.

Having already connected with the Piercing Arm Monkey, Su Yie couldn't intervene as Emperor Su himself; naturally, he needed to forge alliances with other powerful individuals for his benefit.

Seeing Zhao Rulong refusing to surrender, the Eagle Demon's eyes flashed with deadly intent, preparing to slay Zhao Rulong.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Su Yie shouted, his vitality so vast it shook the firmament.

The Eagle Demon turned sharply, demanding fiercely, "Half-Demon, mind your own business!"

The moment Su Yie approached, the Eagle Demon had sensed him. Although Su Yie's vitality was strong, he was merely a Condensed Spirit Demon King, not nearly enough to be a match for him.

Su Yie flew on his sword, with the Zhou Wu Sword and the Sword of Defeated Grudges appearing in each hand.

His gaze calm, he locked eyes with the Eagle Demon, evidently ready for battle.

"Do you know who I am? If you dare to attack, the entire Bailing Territory will be buried because of you!"

The Eagle Demon threatened coldly, while Zhao Rulong also turned his gaze toward Su Yie, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

He didn't recognize Su Yie and didn't understand why Su Yie would intervene.

Having lived over two thousand years, his time was nearing an end, and he saw through many of life's entanglements.

"The Bailing Territory is my turf; who dares to be presumptuous here?"

Su Yie said indifferently, his feet placed on the Heartbreaking Sword as he drew increasingly closer to the Eagle Demon.

"You are the Demon Lord?"

The Eagle Demon narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, clearly having heard of Su Yie.

"Knowing that, shouldn't you be leaving?"

Su Yie snorted. He was eager to test his might.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even at the Mystic Demon King Realm, he had dared to battle Demon Kings of the Astral Projection Realm. How much more so now?

Just then, an incredibly strong aura wafted over from the distant eastern horizon. Although it stirred neither thunder nor lightning, they all felt its advent.

The Eagle Demon's complexion drastically changed and he swiftly took off, caring no longer for Zhao Rulong.

Zhao Rulong frowned, but Su Yie smiled.

"That direction is Jiaye Temple. It seems Ling Sang is quite powerful, to scare off the Eagle Demon of the Astral Projection Realm merely with his aura."

Zhao Rulong seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

Su Yie turned his head towards him and said, "My name is Su Yie, and I know Wuu You."

Wuu You!

Zhao Rulong's face changed dramatically, and he quickly asked, "Is His Majesty still well?"

Xiang Yu was stunned and thought to herself, "Wuu You? Which Wuu You?"

She naturally knew the name of the Ancestor of the Seven Dynasties, but wasn't Wuu You long dead?

"He was being pursued not long ago, but fortunately, he escaped that disaster."

Su Yie replied, curious about who was after the lives of Wuu You and Zhao Rulong.

Could it be the same force?

Zhao Rulong took a deep breath and said, "Could you lead me to His Majesty? Once the matter is settled, I will surely repay you."

Repay?

Su Yie scrutinized him, his gaze peculiar.

Zhao Rulong felt embarrassed under the scrutiny and coughed awkwardly, saying, "After all, I have lived for two thousand years and have hidden many things, which I will later bestow upon you."

Two thousand years!

Xiang Yu's beautiful eyes widened. It was rare for anyone to live for a thousand years, let alone two thousand.

Could it be that the Wuu You mentioned by Su Yie was really the Ancestor of the Seven Dynasties?

"Could you tell me who your enemies are?"

Su Yie asked with curiosity as the Heartbreaking Sword brought them before Zhao Rulong.

Zhao Rulong's face was gloomy. He clenched the Bronze Bow in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "It's okay to tell you. Given today's events, you have offended them too, and they will not let this go."

"They are the Divine Physique Hall, which specially harbors beings of various formidable physiques, including humans, demons, spirits, and the like from all races."

"My sovereign has a unique physique and was targeted by them. We have been in hiding for two thousand years precisely because of the Divine Physique Hall, which led to the collapse of our kingdom."

Divine Physique Hall!

Su Yie furrowed his brows, immediately worried for Nan Xiaopao.

If the Sacred Body of Qiling were to be discovered, the Divine Physique Hall would inevitably set their sights on it.

And then there was his Great Cang Invincible Body.

"Where is the Divine Physique Hall and how powerful are they?"

Su Yie inquired, feeling reassured by the presence of Emperor Su's Sect.

How formidable could they be compared to the Empress of the Great Zhou, Li Huahun, or the Piercing Arm Monkey?

Zhao Rulong shook his head and sighed, "No one knows. They just appear and disappear like ghosts. Once they fix their sights on you, they won't stop unless you're dead."

Su Yie couldn't help thinking deeply.

Xiang Yu, however, furrowed her brows. Her status was too low to come in contact with the Divine Physique Hall. The Worldly Renowned Register of the Zhao Dynasty was of the lowest level; incomplete and with no mention of the Divine Physique Hall.

"Let's go to Jiaye Temple. Abbot Ling Sang also wants to meet you," Su Yie said, sure that Ling Sang's expulsion of the Eagle Demon had not been a matter of chance.

Abbot Ling Sang?

Zhao Rulong paused and said, "Is the old lady still alive?"

Three thousand years ago, Ling Sang had taken the Malevolent Matriarch of Baili as her master, and he had assumed that Ling Sang had already reached nirvana.

"Once you go, you will know," Su Yie said as he seized Xiang Yu and flew with his sword toward Jiaye Temple.

Zhao Rulong immediately sprinted, his running speed on the ground was no less than Su Yie's flying speed.

Elsewhere.

Fifty li away, the Eagle Demon stopped, still frightened. He muttered to himself, "That aura just now... it was definitely an existence beyond the Astral Projection Realm... Could it be Jiaye Temple?"

Jiaye Temple, he dared not offend, yet every time he thought of the Demon Lord, he ground his teeth in rage. Turning back with a vicious tone, he declared, "Demon Lord... you're finished!"

It wasn't just Su Yie— the entire Bailing Territory and Jiaye Temple were now objects of his hatred.

Once he returned to the Divine Physique Hall, he would definitely report this incident!
