The departure of Su Yi went unnoticed by the citizens of Xiwan City. On the second day after he left, some of the more prominent individuals also began to leave in groups.

They all believed that staying in Xiwan City would lead to no good end. Just like that, the number of people in Xiwan City dwindled, making those who remained even more terrified.

Although Xiwan City was populous, most people had mediocre cultivation talent. Many, like Su Yi, possessed the Five Elements Severed Pulse Body or the Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, meaning they had no cultivation talent at all and dared not leave the city.

Zhang Yicheng, the chief bodyguard of Tan Quanming, also left the city, but Tan Quanming did not; he swore that he would live and die with Xiwan City.

The news of the death of the Bat Queen also began to spread.

The Emperor Su Sect alone was buzzing with constant discussion.

East Marsh Flood Dragon King: The Bat Queen? Tsk tsk, that famous female demon of the continent is dead? I heard she was quite flavorful, what a pity.

Black Tiger Emperor: Big Brother, how do you know so much?

Qingyan Devil Lord: The Bat Queen had ambiguous relationships with many great demon kings of the Demon Race; I fear this matter is far from over.

Demon Wolf Star: What do those great demon kings count for? Are they as powerful as the Divine Shadow Legion?

Wu Qingyao: Is the Strange City no longer defensible?

While Su Yi lurked in the chat, he led five thousand demons across mountains and ridges.

Along the way, the Purple-Backed Bear King had recruited three Humanoid Demons. Including their personal guards, the total number exceeded five thousand—roughly five thousand two hundred demons in all. Their strength was uneven, effectively forming a small Demon Army.

The Demon Army marched forward in a grand, imposing manner, and no demons dared to provoke them along the way.

At dawn the next day, they continued their journey, leaving the edge of the Qiling Land. After Su Yi displayed his overwhelming power, the three Humanoid Demons dared not play any tricks and behaved quite obediently for the time being.

"Great King, where is our destination?"

A Humanoid Demon asked. He was a dog demon named the Grey Rock Dog King, still retaining dog ears and a nose, covered in dog fur, and possessing decent strength.

Su Yi pondered, "It would be best to find a blessed land suitable for us to inhabit."

"The Five Wilds and Ten Lands are occupied everywhere by demon kings and demon emperors; it's difficult," another Humanoid Demon named the Kui Savage Elephant chimed in.

The Purple-Backed Bear King remained silent. Although he was stronger than the three Humanoid Demons, he had never left the Qiling Land and knew very little about the outside world, so he felt embarrassed to speak.

There was also a taciturn Humanoid Demon named the Red Sky Wing, a red eagle that had cultivated into a demon. It was said he came from another region, having fled to the Qiling Land where he was taken in by Old Lord Qiyang.

"The Bat Queen is dead, and her old lovers will surely come to avenge her. If we want to settle down and establish a base, we must stay far away from here," the Grey Rock Dog King continued.

His words were acknowledged by Su Yi and the other great demons.

"Head east. We will stop once we find a suitable place."

Su Yi decided. As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Nan Xiaopao.

In the Desolate Ancient era, they would depend on each other for survival.

Nan Xiaopao was not afraid; on the contrary, she was very excited.

The Purple-Backed Bear King shouted, "Little ones, spread out! Find some non-toxic fruits on the way for the Great King and the Queen. Don't go too far, and if there's an enemy attack, look out for each other!"

"Yes!"

The surrounding demons responded. At this moment, they were traveling through mountainous terrain. Looking out, the hundred-mile radius was nothing but barren hills and wild ridges, though there were small groves in the valleys and slopes.

One thousand of the Purple-Backed Bear King's demons ran off in various directions.

The benefit of subduing so many small demons was the convenience; Su Yi finally understood why so many people craved power.

The journey was quite joyful. The demons they encountered either dared not provoke them or were domineeringly subdued by Su Yi.

Battle after battle left the demons completely convinced, and their hearts were filled with admiration for Su Yi.

Even great demons who had just entered the Supernatural Demon King realm were torn apart by Su Yi if they were too arrogant.

Just like that, five days passed in a flash.

Every night, Su Yi absorbed the Demon Core of the Bat Queen. It took five full nights for him to absorb it completely. His strength skyrocketed to the Ten Dragon Strength, and the power of his blood and qi made the other demons shudder.

When they learned that the Demon Core Su Yi had absorbed belonged to the Bat Queen, they were all terrified.

In the Demon Race, the Bat Queen's reputation was not small.

On this day, Su Yi led the demons into a canyon. He had been subduing demons along the way, bringing the number of demons behind him to eight thousand, with two additional Humanoid Demons.

"Great King, the demonic aura here is extremely heavy. We must be careful."

The Purple-Backed Bear King warned. This fellow looked fierce, but ever since leaving the Qiling Land, he had been extremely cautious—to put it bluntly, he was a coward.

Su Yi nodded, not taking it to heart, as he did not sense any danger.

Eight thousand demons marched into the canyon in a grand procession, creating quite a stir, especially since many of the demons were massive in size.

Above the valley was a cliff. A sparrow stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the demons below. Its grain-sized eyes stared at the demons, and a faint red light could be seen flickering within them.

With a flutter!

It flapped its wings and flew away, quickly disappearing into the distance.

The sun hung high in the sky. The canyon was wide, and the road was full of gravel. Looking ahead, there seemed to be no obstacles.

"Awoooo--"

As they walked into the center of the canyon, a wolf howl echoed from above, startling all the Demons and Monsters into looking up.

On a cliff face a hundred meters high, a black wolf stood at the edge, howling toward the sky. It had a mouth full of fangs, a body five meters long, and incredibly sturdy limbs.

As its howl spread, one Demon and Monster after another emerged from the cliffs on both sides. Most were wolf demons, but there were also tigers, leopards, bears, and dogs, all looking down with fierce eyes.

"An ambush, just as expected!"

Purple-Backed Bear King hurriedly grabbed his fang-club, preparing for battle.

Grey Rock Dog King shouted, "We are just passing through, we have no intention of seizing your territory!"

Demons and Monsters were extremely territorial. Along the way, they had encountered many who mistook them for invaders, though fortunately, they had avoided combat after some explanation.

Moreover, being in the canyon put them at a topographical disadvantage, making it unsuitable for a fight.

"Heh, it is we who want to eat you!"

Just then, a voice filled with contempt and cruelty rang out. A Demon King standing three zhang tall walked to the edge of the cliff, looking down at them.

This Demon King had a mane and a humanoid shape, but with a green face, fangs, and exaggerated muscles, he exuded immense pressure. His eyes, in particular, were filled with violence and malice, clearly intending to devour every Demon and Monster below.

"This guy is strong; he is definitely a Supernatural Demon King!"

The taciturn Red Sky Wing suddenly spoke up, adding, "He might even be stronger than Old Lord Qiyang."

"What are you afraid of! They don't have as many Demons and Monsters as we do!"

Nan Xiaopao waved her hand, not to mention that Su Yi was still with them.

No sooner had she finished speaking than more and more Demons and Monsters appeared on both sides of the cliff, stretching out like two black lines toward the end of the horizon. This sight made the group even more nervous.

"Remember, the Demon King who is going to eat you is named King Aisha!"

The Supernatural Demon King laughed wildly. As his voice fell, the Demons and Monsters on both sides of the cliff began to shriek and roar, incredibly excited because they were about to have a feast.
