Demon Wolf Star

"Su Yi!"

Su Yi had just climbed down from the mountain of corpses when Nan Xiaopao burst out of the crowd. Ignoring the filthy blood covering him, she threw her arms around him and burst into tears.

When she'd seen Su Yi fighting the hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts alone, her heart had nearly shattered. Especially when she heard him roar—she'd felt the sky darken and the world lose its color.

Everyone in front of the mountain of corpses cheered and shouted for Su Yi, gazing at him with feverish adoration.

Seeing Nan Xiaopao cling to Su Yi and cry, they all smiled, feeling that the distance between them and Su Yi had grown smaller.

This Half-Demon was a person, too. He had a girlfriend of his own; he wasn't some merciless monster.

Tan Quanming led the applause for Su Yi. Thunderous clapping rang across the battlefield, and even some of the grown men had tears in their eyes.

Nothing was more stirring than surviving a calamity.

"You fool. I'm this strong—I'll be fine."

Su Yi chuckled softly in Nan Xiaopao's ear. He wanted to stroke her hair and comfort her, but his hands were covered in blood, and he was afraid of getting her dirty.

Nan Xiaopao looked up, wiped away her tears, and huffed, "Next time, you have to tell me first. Do you hear me?"

Su Yi smiled and nodded.

Just then, Tan Quanming came forward and bowed to Su Yi. Struggling to contain his excitement, he declared, "On behalf of everyone in Xiwan City, thank you!"

Without Su Yi, he would have become a sinner. Even if he'd survived, he would have borne the weight of his guilt and never known peace for the rest of his life.

Su Yi waved a hand. "Instead of thanking me, you should work hard at cultivating. Next time, rely on yourselves."

Almost everyone gathered behind them was a man. Hearing this, they clenched their fists and nodded.

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

The entire battlefield was strewn with demonic beast corpses—nearly ten thousand of them. Their fangs and pelts could be made into equipment.

Su Yi surveyed the battlefield and said, "I assume everyone knows who I am. I'm a Half-Demon now, and I need Demon Cores from demonic beasts to cultivate. You can have everything except the Demon Cores."

He wasn't worried that anyone would hide the Demon Cores. If a person swallowed one, nine times out of ten they'd explode and die. Even if they survived, they could easily turn into a monster.

Unless they were like Su Yi and followed the path of the demons.

The people of Xiwan City had received a cultivation technique from the Xuanyuan Human Emperor. It warned against swallowing Demon Cores, so no one dared to take the risk.

What's more, Su Yi had saved their lives.

And so Tan Quanming set everyone to work searching for Demon Cores for Su Yi.

It took a full hour to finish the search.

They found more than two hundred Demon Cores.

Demonic beasts cultivated through several realms: condensing demonic energy, forming a demonic core, becoming a Humanoid Demon, and becoming a Supernatural Demon King. Most of the hundreds of thousands of beasts had barely managed to cultivate demonic power. Demons who had formed a core could speak human languages and possessed considerable intelligence, so they were rare.

Two burly men eagerly took off their clothes, wrapped the Demon Cores in them, and handed them to Su Yi.

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Su Yi led Nan Xiaopao into the city.

No one dared disturb Su Yi. After all, he was their savior, and he needed to rest after the battle.

"All right, let's clean up the battlefield. Take the pelts, teeth, and bones from these monsters. Everyone, be careful."

Tan Quanming began assigning people to clear the battlefield. This battle had made them realize just how cruel the Desolate Ancient really was.

Even with cultivation techniques in hand, they would have to stand together if they wanted to survive.

How many people would still be left in Xiwan City in the end?

It certainly wouldn't be as many as there were now.

As Su Yi and Nan Xiaopao entered the city, they were met with cheers from the citizens all along the way. Seeing him covered in blood, no one dared to embrace or touch him, so they all made way.

"Mom, I want to be someone like him when I grow up."

A seven-year-old boy held his mother's hand and spoke earnestly. His eyes were innocent, despite having witnessed the cruelty of war.

His mother smiled and stroked his head. "I believe you can."

This battle had made Su Yi unforgettable to the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. They would never forget the sight of him standing tall atop the mountain of corpses.

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

As they walked down the street, Su Yi spoke. He was preoccupied with the strange behavior of the Zhouwu Sword and naturally wanted to find somewhere to examine it.

"Can you take me with you?"

Nan Xiaopao hurriedly asked. During the days Su Yi had been gone, she'd worried about him 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 then I won't have to worry about you."

In the apocalypse, people could sometimes be more frightening than anything else.

Although the citizens had started cultivating, none of them could match Nan Xiaopao's One Dragon Power. So Su Yi wasn't worried that she'd be in danger.

It'd be good enough if this girl didn't bully anyone herself.

Nan Xiaopao pouted. "All right, but you have to come visit me often. I'll be at my aunt's place."

"I know."

Su Yi smiled, then waved to signal that she could go back.

Nan Xiaopao nodded and turned to leave, glancing back every three steps. Only when she'd disappeared around the corner did Su Yi leave.

After he was gone, Nan Xiaopao emerged from around the corner again, her gaze complicated as she watched him walk away.

Su Yi sprinted with his eyes closed. He could now avoid obstacles along the way using his other senses.

Just then, another page appeared in his mind.

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 all, several of which had appeared more than once.

Su Yi didn't recognize the names, so he could only choose by how impressive their titles sounded.

The Emperor Su Sect now consisted of three races: humans, demons, and devils. The Human Race had Xia Tianyi and Wu Qingyao; the Demon Race had Old Lord Qiyang and Black Tiger Emperor; and the Devil Race had Devil Lord Qingyan.

The weakest of the three factions wasn't the Devil Race, but the Demon Race.

Ever since Xia Tianyi joined the sect, Devil Lord Qingyan and Black Tiger Emperor had rarely teased Wu Qingyao. The atmosphere in the sect had grown rather awkward.

In the end, Su Yi chose a name that sounded half demon, half devil.

Demon Wolf Star!

The scene shifted at once.

Su Yi 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 this be Demon Wolf Star, who robbed every one of the Seven Dynasties?

Demon Wolf Star: Who are you people? Why are you in my head? You dare mess with me? You're dead! I've got ten thousand ways to torture you to death!

Devil Lord Qingyan: Hmm?

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Hmph!

Demon Wolf Star: Oh no! Devil Lord Qingyan! Xia Tianyi! Can I take back what I just said?

Su Yi was speechless. It seemed Demon Wolf Star was a clown, too.

But judging by what Old Lord Qiyang had said, Demon Wolf Star probably wasn't weak.

Robbed every one of the Seven Dynasties!

After lurking in the sect chat for so many days, Su Yi had learned quite a bit. For example, north of the Qiling Land lay the territory of the Human Race, where seven dynasties stood side by side: Tang, Jin, Zhao, Wei, Xuan, West Buddha, and Great Yuan. The strongest was Tang, hailed as Fierce Tang. Back then, Xia Tianyi had charged into Fierce Tang alone, unstoppable and dazzling the world. He'd been bestowed the title of Sword Saint.
