Sword Soul Feng Long

Within less than a quarter of an hour, Su Yi arrived beside a small river outside the city and first washed himself off.

The Emperor Su Sect had grown lively again with Demon Wolf Star's arrival. It was clear that Demon Wolf Star had the makings of a real big-mouth.

With a thought, Su Yi could block out the Emperor Su Sect's images in his mind.

He discovered that he could use the Dao Vault directly, as if an independent space were hidden in his mind. He could store things inside and take them out again. With just a thought, anything stored in the Dao Vault would appear out of thin air in his hand.

After taking a fresh set of clothes from the Dao Vault and putting them on, he began getting used to the Great Dao Phone fused into his body. Once he had adapted, he started examining the Zhouwu Sword in his hand.

"What was that voice just now?"

"Could it really have become a spirit?"

Sitting beneath a tree, Su Yi ran his fingers over the Zhouwu Sword and muttered to himself.

"Hmph, you're the one who's become a spirit."

The mysterious voice spoke again, making Su Yi jump.

Damn!

How dare you scare me!

Su Yi immediately tossed the Zhouwu Sword to the ground and stomped on it.

"Brat, what are you doing? I'm the one who saved your life!"

The mysterious voice cursed furiously in Su Yi's mind.

"Who are you, exactly?"

Su Yi asked. The Zhouwu Sword had helped him more than once, but he still had to be on his guard.

"I am the Immortal Sword's Sword Soul, named Feng Long! Now get down and bow to me!"

The mysterious voice huffed, revealing its name and origins.

The Immortal Sword's Sword Soul, Feng Long!

Su Yi was intensely curious. Was there really such a thing as a Sword Soul?

"You're the thing!"

Feng Long cursed. During the earlier battle, the Great Dao Phone had fused with Su Yi, causing the Zhouwu Sword to fully acknowledge him as its master. As a result, Feng Long and Su Yi could communicate mind-to-mind.

Su Yi wasn't angry. If anything, he found it amusing.

"Aren't you the Zhouwu Sword? Why are you called Feng Long?"

"Hmph, Emperor Zhouwu was only one of my masters!"

"Oh. So can I call you Su Yi Sword from now on?"

"That sounds awful..."

After talking for a while, Su Yi finally learned that he had made the Zhouwu Sword acknowledge him as its master.

From then on, unless he died, the Zhouwu Sword could only serve him.

"So that's how it is. I'm your master now." Su Yi clicked his tongue in wonder.

He had already experienced just how powerful the Zhouwu Sword was.

Did becoming its master mean he could use it whenever he wanted?

Feng Long was speechless. This kid was greedy indeed.

Just then, a Demon Cloud came flying over, with Old Lord Qiyang riding on it.

Su Yi silently put away the Zhouwu Sword. The moment it entered the Dao Vault, Feng Long lost consciousness. Compared with the Great Dao Phone, it was still far too weak.

Thud!

Old Lord Qiyang landed and smiled at Su Yi. "Congratulations on defeating the Black Scale King. You've become a Demon King in your own right."

A Demon King?

Su Yi curled his lip. He was still looking for a chance to change his cultivation path.

"Did you need something?" Su Yi asked coolly. He didn't like Old Lord Qiyang.

The cultivation technique scroll he'd given Su Yi was impossible to understand. To avoid looking foolish and giving himself away, Su Yi hadn't dared confront him about it in the Emperor Su Sect.

"You killed the Black Scale King. The Great Demon King behind him certainly won't let you off. He's a true Supernatural Demon King, only one step away from reaching the next realm."

Old Lord Qiyang's expression was grave as he spoke. He now considered Su Yi one of his own and wasn't telling him a single lie.

A Great Demon King?

Su Yi narrowed his eyes. So it really was a case of killing the young and having the old come after him?

"That Great Demon King is called the Black Leopard Emperor. He built a sizeable kingdom of the Demon Race and has more than ten Demon Kings under his command. You'd better ask the person backing you to help."

Old Lord Qiyang warned him. Though Su Yi possessed the Hundred Dragon Strength, it was clear to him that Su Yi had only begun cultivating recently. His demonic power was pitifully weak and utterly mismatched with his physical strength.

The person he meant was Emperor Su.

Unbeknownst to him, Emperor Su was Su Yi himself.

The Black Leopard Emperor?

Su Yi looked a little strange. He couldn't help asking, "What's the relationship between the Black Leopard Emperor and the Black Tiger Emperor?"

"You know the Black Tiger Emperor? The person backing you must have told you. The Black Leopard Emperor is the Black Tiger Emperor's sworn younger brother, but they've fallen out. Whenever the two emperors meet, they see red, and they often fight until both are badly hurt," Old Lord Qiyang replied.

At the same time, he thought even more highly of Su Yi.

Emperor Su had even introduced members of the Emperor Su Sect to Su Yi. Clearly, he wanted to cultivate Su Yi as a priority.

As for whether Su Yi might be Emperor Su?

It never even crossed his mind!

Emperor Su's pressure was terrifyingly powerful. How could this kid possibly impersonate him?

"Mm. Thanks for the warning."

Su Yi nodded slightly, neither servile nor arrogant.

When dealing with a cunning Demon King like Old Lord Qiyang, he couldn't show fear.

Old Lord Qiyang hesitated. His eyes shifted, then he smiled. "Cultivate well. If you have any questions about demonic techniques, come find me at Laojun Mountain anytime. And for now, I'll order the demons of Qiling Land not to harm anyone from your Strange City."

With that, he turned and rode off on his cloud.

The Cloud-Riding Technique!

Su Yi watched with envy. When would he be able to master a demonic technique like that?

After Old Lord Qiyang left, Su Yi took out the Zhouwu Sword again, ready to pry some answers out of Feng Long.

As a Sword Soul who'd been around for so long, it might know some powerful cultivation techniques!

Caw—

The Luoshui Golden Eagle cried out beneath the blue sky. Five Luoshui Sect disciples stood on its back.

At the front was a woman in a white dress embroidered with golden thread. She had a slender waist, black hair spilling over her shoulders, and a jade hairpin in her hair. Her skin was as smooth as cream, and her refined features were cool and aloof, like those of an immortal who had no ties to the mortal world.

Beside her stood Mo Haosheng, smiling ingratiatingly.

"Junior Sister Qingyao, the trip to Strange City is dangerous. You must be careful." Mo Haosheng fanned himself as he spoke, putting on an elegant, dashing air.

Wu Qingyao closed her eyes to rest and didn't reply.

Uh...

Mo Haosheng's mouth twitched. He noticed the other three disciples trying not to laugh and gave a fake cough. "Aside from Old Lord Qiyang, a Half-Demon has appeared in Strange City recently. Even Old Lord Qiyang can't do anything to him. Last time, it was I who stepped in..."

"Hmph!"

Wu Qingyao suddenly snorted, her brows knitting in displeasure.

Mo Haosheng trembled with fright and asked cautiously, "Junior Sister Qingyao, what's wrong?"

Wu Qingyao still didn't answer him, making him even more embarrassed. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He was secretly furious, but didn't dare show it. The frustration was eating him alive.

In truth, Wu Qingyao wasn't deliberately trying to humiliate him. She was in the middle of a battle!

Inside the Emperor Su Sect's chat window.

Demon Wolf Star: Ohoho! The beauty's mad! Luoshui Sect, huh? Next time, I'll swipe the panties right off your founding matriarch. Scared?

Wu Qingyao: Hmph. There isn't a single decent person in the Devil Race!

Black Tiger Emperor: Hahaha, Demon Wolf Star, aren't you afraid of offending Senior Sword Saint?

Demon Wolf Star: What does the Sword Saint have to do with the Luoshui Sect? We can't back down! Backing down means losing, and if you lose, you lose for life! A man's face is everything!

Devil Lord Qingyan: Are you itching for a beating? Watch out, or Emperor Su will kick you out!

Demon Wolf Star: Uh... You can kick people out? I don't believe it. If they invited me in, they must need something from me!

Sect notice: Emperor Su has kicked Demon Wolf Star out of the Emperor Su Sect.

The first update of the night! If you don't vote, you'll be kicked out of the Emperor Su Sect!
