After Demon Wolf Star was kicked, the Emperor Su Sect exploded in an instant.

Black Tiger Emperor: My god, he was actually kicked?

Qingyan Devil Lord: Tsk tsk, this kid was too arrogant, he deserved it!

Wu Qingyao: The Sect Master is wise.

Old Lord Qiyang: What happened?

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Kicked out of the Emperor Su Sect? It seems Emperor Su does not necessarily need us.

Inside a city, the bustling streets were filled with the sounds of peddlers. People dressed in ancient attire moved back and forth, and occasionally a carriage would drive by, causing chaos on both sides of the street.

In an inn by the roadside, a black-robed youth sitting in the corner suddenly slammed his wine bowl onto the table, startling the surrounding people into turning their heads to look at him.

"I was kicked?"

The black-robed youth wore a look of astonishment. He was not handsome, appearing quite ordinary, but his eyebrows were very dark, giving him a cold and sinister air.

He was none other than Demon Wolf Star, the thief who had plundered seven dynasties and remained uncaught!

Having joined the Emperor Su Sect for the first time, he found the text chat in his mind novel and had been chatting enthusiastically, but he never expected to be kicked by Emperor Su halfway through his bragging.

He was both angry and unwilling.

It was simply too embarrassing...

And to think it happened in front of Qingyan Devil Lord; how was he supposed to survive in the demonic path in the future?

His face burned with shame. Ignoring the strange looks from those around him, he thought anxiously: "How do I get back in?"

Recalling carefully, the mysterious sect capable of absorbing Qingyan Devil Lord and Xia Tianyi must be powerful. According to what Black Tiger Emperor said, once joined, one would receive the protection of the Emperor Su Sect. Although his thieving skills were peerless, he had too many enemies and naturally wanted to seek shelter.

Just as he was desperately craving a return to the Emperor Su Sect.

Far away on the other side of the world, a request message appeared in the mind of Su Yi.

Demon Wolf Star requests to return to the Emperor Su Sect. Do you agree? If you do not agree, you may choose to blacklist him permanently!

He can return?

Su Yi was amused and immediately chose to agree.

He discovered that he could only choose to recruit people when he achieved a major victory or breakthrough, so he would recruit whoever he could, as long as they did not violate his principles.

Inside the Emperor Su Sect.

Emperor Su has agreed to let Demon Wolf Star return to the sect.

Black Tiger Emperor: Eh? He's back in? Quick, quick, quick! Hand over the entry resources!

Qingyan Devil Lord: You brat, don't embarrass our demonic path again, or I will tear you apart myself!

Wu Qingyao: Hmph.

Old Lord Qiyang: It really is Demon Wolf Star, the Thief King of the demonic path!

Demon Wolf Star: I surrender, I'll pay, I'll pay! I'll hand over my Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, is that enough?

Watching the chat within the Emperor Su Sect, Su Yi suddenly found a bamboo scroll in his hand. He opened his eyes and took a look; the first things to catch his eyes were seven powerful, calligraphic characters.

Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps!

Judging by the conversations of the other Emperor Su Sect members, this footwork technique was not simple; even Qingyan Devil Lord did not rate it poorly.

However, this was not Demon Wolf Star's trump card.

It was not just Demon Wolf Star; even the Demon Emperor Divine Technique handed over by Black Tiger Emperor was the same—it was not a rare treasure within the Demon Race. Upon learning this, Su Yi almost vomited blood, and his favorability toward Black Tiger Emperor dropped significantly.

Then there was the Zhouwu Sword; although it was an Immortal Sword, it was unusable for others and carried huge risks, making it like a chicken rib.

The seemingly honest Black Tiger Emperor was actually quite cunning.

On the contrary, the Dragon Strength Pill from Qingyan Devil Lord had the highest value.

Perhaps it was because of their guilty conscience that they had not yet asked the Emperor Su Sect for help.

Su Yi began to browse the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps. This footwork possessed the profundity of a divine ability; at its peak, one could move a thousand miles in an instant. Of course, that was just a beautiful ideal. This footwork made one's movements erratic during battle, making it difficult for enemies to track, which was quite practical.

Afterward, Su Yi took out a demon core and began to cultivate.

Although the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps tempted him, his current demon power was too low to execute various demon arts.

With over two hundred demon cores, he could at least bring himself close to the realm of condensing demon power into a pill; it might even allow him to break through directly.

After the army of Black Scale King retreated, Xiwan City began to celebrate. This great victory made the people of the entire city even more united.

In the following days, everyone worked hard at cultivation, all taking Su Yi as their goal.

Unfortunately, they had been left far behind by Su Yi from the start. Trying to catch up was harder than ascending to heaven, especially since Su Yi, who was more talented than them, was also working harder than them!

It was not until four days later that Mo Haosheng, Wu Qingyao, and other disciples of the Luoshui Sect arrived, sparking another wave of assessments.

On the playground of Baiqiao University.

"What? Black Scale King is attacking?"

Mo Haosheng was greatly shocked and asked in disbelief.

A Luoshui Sect disciple nodded and said, "He came with an army of hundreds of thousands, and then..."

"And then what?" Mo Haosheng pressed, for Black Scale King was a demon king even more famous than Old Lord Qiyang, ruling over a vast territory with a demon kingdom backing him.

"Then he was repelled by that half-demon single-handedly... and Black Scale King died as well..."

Speaking of this, the disciple also wore an expression of disbelief.

Mo Haosheng and the others were all struck with terror, and even Wu Qingyao was moved.

Before coming here, she had already heard Mo Haosheng mention that half-demon, which made her think of the sword-wielding demon talent that Emperor Su had spoken of.

Could it be that he was the one who killed Black Scale King?

"How is that possible? Has that guy already become this strong?"

Mo Haosheng said with a trembling voice; he had been thinking about taking revenge, but now he was nearly scared out of his wits.

Wu Qingyao spoke up, "Alright, let's begin the spiritual root assessment."

Mo Haosheng snapped back to reality, only then realizing that he had lost his composure.

Subsequently, the Luoshui Sect disciples suppressed their emotions and began to assess the people who had come to seek the Dao.

The people queuing on the training ground were all chatting, and the topics of conversation almost entirely revolved around the great battle from a few days ago.

"What realm do you think Su Yi is in?"

"Not sure, it's said that Black Scale King is even stronger than these Luoshui Sect disciples!"

"Sigh, if only Su Yi could teach us."

"Su Yi is a demon, how could he teach us?"

"Tell me, why would he choose to be a demon?"

The Luoshui Sect disciples had incredibly sharp hearing, so their expressions were somewhat unsightly, and they were not as amiable as before when receiving new disciples.

Wu Qingyao, however, was full of curiosity about Su Yi and wanted to find an opportunity to see him for herself.

Someone who could fight off an army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts for the sake of the human race was definitely not a villain.

Even if he was a half-demon, he was a half-demon with humanity.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed in a hurry.

Outside the city, atop a mountain peak.

BOOM!

The entire mountain peak trembled slightly as Su Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was enveloped in black demon power.

He had broken through!

Humanoid Demon!

Because he was originally human, after breaking through to the Demon Power Pill Realm, he crossed directly into the ranks of a Humanoid Demon.

All two hundred-plus demon pills had been exhausted, and his current demon power already surpassed that of the former Red Blood Snake King, though it was still far from that of Old Lord Qiyang.

Su Yi opened his eyes, his pupils actually glowing with a red light.

Just then, a giant fan flew in from the horizon. Standing on the fan were four figures—three men and one woman—dressed in archaic attire. They looked to be in their forties or fifties, possessing the air of immortals, and their target was clearly Su Yi.

Su Yi stood up immediately, watching them vigilantly.

He was a demon now, and humans and demons were irreconcilable; the other party might attack him on sight.

Thanks to ☆Yue Qinglong★ for gifting 103,133 book coins, becoming the fourth Alliance Leader of Myriad Demon Emperor, and also the Alliance Leader with the highest fan value for this book. The Emperor Su Sect was shaken and expressed their willingness to recruit him into the sect.
