"Su Yi!"

Su Yi had just stepped down from the mountain of corpses when Nan Xiaopao rushed out from the crowd. Ignoring the filthy blood covering his body, she threw herself into his arms and burst into loud sobs.

Having watched Su Yi fight the army of hundreds of thousands of Demons and Monsters alone, her heart had nearly shattered. Especially when she heard his roars, she felt as if the sky had turned dark and the world had lost all its color.

The people before the mountain of corpses were all cheering and shouting for Su Yi, gazing at him with fanatical eyes.

Seeing Nan Xiaopao hugging Su Yi and crying, they all smiled, feeling as if the distance between them and Su Yi had narrowed.

This Half-Demon was, in fact, also human; he had a girlfriend of his own, and was not some cruel, heartless monster.

Tan Quanming took the lead in applauding for Su Yi. Thunderous applause erupted across the battlefield, and even some of the burly men had tears in their eyes.

Surviving a catastrophe was the most stirring feeling of all.

"Silly girl, I'm so strong, I'll be fine."

Su Yi whispered with a smile by Nan Xiaopao's ear. He wanted to stroke her hair to comfort her, but his hands were caked in blood, and he feared dirtying her.

Nan Xiaopao looked up, wiped away her tears, and huffed, "Next time, you must tell me first, do you hear me!"

Su Yi nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Tan Quanming walked up, bowed to Su Yi, and suppressing his excitement, shouted, "On behalf of everyone in Xiwan City, I thank you!"

If not for Su Yi, he would have become a sinner. Even if he had survived, he would have carried that guilt, unable to find peace for the rest of his life.

Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Instead of thanking me, you should all strive to cultivate so that next time, you can rely on yourselves."

The people gathered behind were mostly men, and upon hearing this, they all clenched their fists and nodded.

Tan Quanming looked up and reminded him, "You should collect your spoils first."

Across the entire battlefield, there were corpses of Demons and Monsters everywhere, numbering nearly ten thousand. The fangs and fur of these creatures could be crafted into equipment.

Su Yi scanned the battlefield and said, "I assume everyone knows my identity. I am a Half-Demon now and need the demon cores of these creatures to cultivate. Aside from the cores, everything else belongs to you."

He wasn't worried about anyone hoarding the cores; if a human were to swallow a demon core, nine times out of ten they would explode and die. Even if they survived, they would easily turn into a monster.

Unless, like Su Yi, they walked the path of the demon.

The people of Xiwan City had received the inheritance of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor's techniques, which explicitly stated that one must not ingest demon cores, so no one dared to take the risk.

Furthermore, Su Yi was their savior.

Just like that, Tan Quanming mobilized everyone to search for the demon cores for Su Yi.

A full hour passed before the search was complete.

There were over two hundred demon cores in total.

In the cultivation of Demons and Monsters, the realms were divided into Demon Qi Condensation, Demon Power Forming a Core, Transformed Great Demon, and Divine Ability Demon King. Most of the army of hundreds of thousands of creatures had only barely managed to cultivate demon power. Only those who had formed demon cores could speak human language and possessed significant intelligence, making them quite rare.

Two burly men enthusiastically took off their clothes to wrap the demon cores and handed them to Su Yi.

Under the worshipful gazes of the people, Su Yi led Nan Xiaopao into the city.

No one dared to disturb Su Yi; after all, he was their benefactor, and having just finished a battle, he needed rest.

"Alright, let's hurry and clear the battlefield. Take the fur, teeth, and bones of these monsters, and everyone be careful."

Tan Quanming began to order the people to clean up the battlefield. This war had made them realize the true cruelty of the Desolate Ancient era.

Even if they obtained the method of cultivation, they had to remain united, or it would be difficult to survive.

Who knew how many people would be left in Xiwan City by the end?

Certainly not as many as there were now.

As Su Yi and Nan Xiaopao entered the city, they were met with the adoration of the citizens along the way. Seeing Su Yi covered in blood, the citizens didn't dare to hug or touch him, so they all stepped aside to let them pass.

"Mom, I want to become someone like him in the future."

A seven-year-old boy holding his mother's hand said earnestly, his eyes pure, even after witnessing the cruelty of war.

His mother smiled and stroked his head, saying, "Mom believes in you."

This battle made the hundreds of thousands of people in the city remember Su Yi. The masses would never forget the figure of him standing proudly atop the mountain of corpses.

"I don't want to stay in the city."

Walking down the street, Su Yi spoke up. His mind was currently preoccupied with the anomaly of the Zhouwu Sword, so he naturally needed to find a place to study it.

"Can you take me with you?"

Nan Xiaopao asked hurriedly. During the days Su Yi had disappeared, she had been worried every single day.

Su Yi pointed outside the city and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm going to the mountaintop to cultivate. You'll be safer in the city, and I'll be able to rest easy."

In the apocalypse, human hearts were sometimes even more terrifying.

Although the citizens had all begun to cultivate, none could match Nan Xiaopao's strength of one dragon, so Su Yi wasn't worried about her encountering danger.

It would be a miracle if this girl didn't bully others instead.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaopao could only pout and say, "Fine, but you have to come back to see me often. I'll be at my aunt's house."

"I know."

Su Yi smiled slightly, then waved his hand, signaling that Nan Xiaopao could head back.

Nan Xiaopao nodded and turned to leave, looking back every three steps until she finally disappeared around the street corner, at which point Su Yi also departed.

After he left, Nan Xiaopao emerged from the street corner again, gazing at his retreating back with a complex expression in her eyes.

Su Yi sprinted while keeping his eyes closed; now, he could rely on his senses to dodge obstacles along the way.

At this moment, a page appeared in his mind once again.

Please invite any one of the following living beings to join the Emperor Su Sect:

Feng Lie!

Daoist Qingfeng!

Tang Qingtian!

White Fox Queen!

Night Poison Willow King!

There were twenty-six names in total, and several of them had already appeared more than once.

Su Yi did not recognize these names and could only choose based on the prestige of their titles.

Currently, the Emperor Su Sect was divided into the Human, Demon, and Devil races. The Human race had Xia Tianyi and Wu Qingyao, the Demon race had Old Lord Qiyang and the Black Tiger Emperor, and the Devil race had the Qingyan Devil Lord.

The weakest of the three factions was not the Devil race, but rather the Demon race.

Ever since Xia Tianyi joined the sect, the Qingyan Devil Lord and the Black Tiger Emperor had rarely teased Wu Qingyao, and the atmosphere within the sect had become quite subtle.

In the end, Su Yi chose a name that sounded both devilish and demonic.

Demon Wolf Star!

Immediately after, the screen changed.

Emperor Su has invited Demon Wolf Star to join the Emperor Su Sect.

Wu Qingyao: Another devil.

Black Tiger Emperor: Hiss—Demon Wolf Star! How did this guy get in here!

Old Lord Qiyang: Could it be the Demon Wolf Star who robbed the Seven Dynasties?

Demon Wolf Star: Who are you people? Why are you in my head? Daring to play tricks on your grandfather, are you looking for death? I have ten thousand ways to torture you to death!

Qingyan Devil Lord: Hmm?

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Hmph!

Demon Wolf Star: Oh my god! Qingyan Devil Lord! Xia Tianyi! Can I take back what I just said?

Su Yi was speechless; it seemed Demon Wolf Star was also a clown.

However, judging by what Old Lord Qiyang said, Demon Wolf Star should not be weak.

Robbed the Seven Dynasties!

Having lurked and watched the screen for so many days, Su Yi had learned quite a bit of information. For instance, to the north of the Qiling Land lay the lands of the human race, where seven dynasties stood: Tang, Jin, Zhao, Wei, Xuan, West Buddha, and Great Yuan. The strongest was the Tang Dynasty, known as the Fierce Tang. Back then, Xia Tianyi had single-handedly stormed the Fierce Tang, unstoppable and stunning the world, earning him the title of Sword Saint.
