Talent

Su Yi skillfully retrieved the Demon Core of King Aisha, while the other demons began searching for Demon Cores to hand over to him.

"From now on, for any demons you kill yourselves, just give half the resources to this King."

Su Yi announced loudly, drawing cheers from the demons.

If it were any other Demon King, they would have taken everything and only distributed a tiny fraction to their subordinates afterward; this was the first time they had encountered a Demon King as generous as Su Yi.

Most importantly, Su Yi was incredibly strong. Following such a great King meant they would be unstoppable, sweeping through everything in their path.

For a moment, the demons felt not just awe toward Su Yi, but an added sense of gratitude.

"Little ones, hurry up and clean up! In the future, you must serve the King well so he doesn't always have to take action himself!"

Purple-Backed Bear King shouted, his face filled with an excited smile.

Following Su Yi was truly the right decision!

The other Humanoid Demons also revealed smiles, including the usually stoic Red Sky Wing.

Nan Xiaopao also began searching for Demon Cores for Su Yi, not showing the slightest disgust at the filth of the corpses.

Meanwhile, far away on the other side, Xiwan City was being approached by another major power: the righteous sect, Qingyi Sect.

Leading the group was Elder Ye Chonggang, whose strength surpassed even Kuang Chu'e; among the Seven Dynasties, those who could contend with him could be counted on one hand.

"What a tragedy."

Ye Chonggang stood atop his flying sword, looking down at Xiwan City with a look of pity on his face.

He appeared to be in his early thirties, dressed in green robes. Although his features were unremarkable, his gaze was sharp, and every movement radiated the dignity of a superior.

Behind him followed thousands of Qingyi Sect disciples, all flying on swords, creating a spectacular sight.

"We are the righteous Qingyi Sect. From this day forward, our Qingyi Sect will take you in. We will not let you be slaughtered by demons again, nor will we enslave you. We will treat you like our subordinate towns, and those with talent may join the Qingyi Sect to seek the path of immortality!"

Ye Chonggang's voice spread throughout the entire city, causing all the citizens to cheer.

Ever since Xiwan City had collapsed, the people remaining in the city had been living in terror, fearing that disaster would strike again.

This time, they had finally waited for their savior.

"I wonder if that Half-Demon is here."

Ye Chonggang thought to himself. With the wars occurring in Xiwan City recently, Su Yi had the greatest reputation. Although he didn't hold Black Scale King or Kuang Chu'e in high regard, he was quite interested in Su Yi.

If he could subdue him, that would be for the best.

Even righteous sects kept demon beasts as mounts or as guardian beasts for the sect.

Night fell, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Su Yi sat cross-legged on a hillside absorbing the Demon Core, while Nan Xiaopao cultivated beside him. Most of the other demons were asleep, and the wilderness remained very quiet.

While cultivating, he listened to the chat among the members of the Emperor Su Sect. Upon learning that Xiwan City had been taken under the protection of the Qingyi Sect, a smile appeared on his face.

If Xiwan City had been slaughtered to the last person, he would have felt terrible; after all, they all came from Earth.

Fortunately, the Four Elders of Great Wei had persuaded the Qingyi Sect.

"If we meet again in the future, I won't help you anymore."

Su Yi thought to himself. The next time they met, they might very well be enemies.

After all, humans and demons walk different paths. Even if he didn't treat the human race as an enemy, could others truly see through the rights and wrongs?

At this moment, East Marsh Flood Dragon King suddenly popped up.

East Marsh Flood Dragon King: I recently heard that Luofu Tyrant Emperor is heading to the Qiling Land. Who among you is still in the Qiling Land? Leave immediately!

Black Tiger Emperor: Luofu Tyrant Emperor? Is this true? Why is he going to the Qiling Land too?

East Marsh Flood Dragon King: Bat Queen once bore him a son.

Demon Wolf Star: Damn! That woman managed to hook up with Luofu Tyrant Emperor? I'm leaving right now! Can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to!

Wu Qingyao: Xiwan City has been occupied by the Qingyi Sect. Can Luofu Tyrant Emperor break the city?

Qingyan Devil Lord: Luofu Tyrant Emperor is very strong; the Qingyi Sect will find it hard to resist unless other sects help.

Luofu Tyrant Emperor?

Su Yi's heart stirred. Could that guy be coming to seek revenge on him?

It seemed he would have to pick up the pace during the day; otherwise, if Luofu Tyrant Emperor tracked him down, that would be bad.

Even Qingyan Devil Lord and East Marsh Flood Dragon King said Luofu Tyrant Emperor was very strong, so Su Yi naturally had to be careful.

With that thought, he continued to absorb the Demon Core of King Aisha.

His Demon Emperor Divine Technique was almost at the second level, and with his Demon Core Condensation, his demonic power would surely take a leap forward.

He also had to practice the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword; it was his only sword technique, and he had to master it.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Su Yi led the demons to continue their journey.

Along the way, Nan Xiaopao was manipulating the Qiling Holy Lotus. The Qiling Holy Lotus could control all surrounding vegetation, which was incredibly miraculous, leaving the group of demons secretly astonished.

The Queen is also very strong; she must not be provoked!

They could all sense Nan Xiaopao's talent, and if things continued this way, it wouldn't be long before she surpassed all of them, with the exception of Su Yi.

That afternoon, they arrived at a vast desert. Ahead, sandstorms filled the air, and the wind howled as if malicious ghosts were shrieking.

Purple-Backed Bear King walked at the very front, scanning his surroundings vigilantly, terrified of another ambush.

"Spread out, but keep within ten feet of one another so we don't lose our way."

Kui Savage Elephant gave the order. He saw the sandstorm ahead growing increasingly intense and knew they had to spread out; otherwise, if they were attacked, they would be trapped like beasts in a cage.

The Demons and Monsters scattered, occupying a radius of a thousand meters as they marched forward in a grand, imposing procession.

As they ventured deep into the desert, the sandstorm suddenly receded, which was incredibly bizarre.

"Stop!"

Purple-Backed Bear King suddenly shouted. All the Demons and Monsters followed his gaze and saw a figure appear on the horizon, strolling toward them.

The Demons and Monsters immediately grew alert. Those who had not yet taken human form began to bare their teeth and growl, attempting to intimidate the stranger.

Su Yi narrowed his eyes, for he could not sense any demonic aura coming from the individual.

This meant the person was either very weak or stronger than him.

It was highly likely to be the latter.

As the distance closed, they saw that the newcomer was a man dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat that obscured his face. He held a blade in his right hand, and blood was dripping from the edge.

He acted as if he didn't see the thousands of Demons and Monsters before him, continuing to walk at his own pace.

Su Yi stepped in front of Purple-Backed Bear King, watching the man calmly.

Soon, the man in black stopped fifty meters away from them.

"Which way to Qiling Land?"

The man in black asked. As soon as he spoke, the Demons and Monsters grew tense, as most of them were from Qiling Land.

Su Yi raised an eyebrow and pointed in the direction leading away from Qiling Land, saying, "Keep walking in that direction, and you'll get there."

The Demons and Monsters were speechless; why was their seemingly cold-blooded King so devious?

The man in black turned around immediately and began walking in the direction Su Yi had pointed.

But after only two steps, he stopped again.

"You have sword qi on you. Are you a swordsman?"

The man in black turned his head to ask Su Yi, the blade in his right hand beginning to hum.

Su Yi raised an eyebrow and replied, "And if I am?"

"Fight me. I am the Blade Demon Luo Zhenhai, and I have sworn to defeat every swordsman in the world. I heard that Xia Tianyi appeared in Qiling Land and even slew the Bat Queen, which is why I am heading there. Your strength is decent; fight me. We shall stop once the winner is decided."

The man in black replied, and as he spoke, he raised his blade and walked toward Su Yi.
