Master of the Demon Emperor

Su Yie hesitated for quite a while, deciding between Tang Qingtian and Shangguan Wuji.

Feng Lie, being a hero of the Human Clan, his joining would only disrupt the balance of Emperor Su's Sect. Shangguan Wuji would too, but Shangguan Wuji was not a hero of the Demon Path. If Feng Lie joined, he'd likely unite Xia Tianyi and Wux Qingyao.

On the other hand, Shangguan Wuji might have a grudge against Demon Lord Qing Yan, possibly forming his own faction.

As for Tang Qingtian, this fellow had appeared too many times, and Su Yie felt a bit reluctant.

After much inner conflict, Su Yie sighed and said, "Sorry, Tang Qingtian, maybe you're not the protagonist; heaven doesn't favor you."

Having said that, he directly chose Shangguan Wuji.

Right after, the phone page in his mind switched to the chat screen of Emperor Su's Sect.

Emperor Su invited Shangguan Wuji to join Emperor Su's Sect!

Demon Wolf Star: Uh... Shangguan Wuji? Same name?

Li Zuxuan: Shangguan Wuji? A legend of the Demon Path?

Demon Lord Qing Yan: What youngster dares to impersonate my master?

Shangguan Wuji: Hmm? Little Qing? You dare call me a youngster?

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Master...

...

With the addition of Shangguan Wuji, Emperor Su's Sect instantly went into an uproar.

Even Xia Tianyi and the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands stopped lurking.

Su Yie watched with his mouth agape; Shangguan Wuji was Demon Lord Qing Yan's master?

Damn!

If he's your master, why react with a tone of a vendetta when someone brings him up?

Are you sick!

Su Yie grew worried, seeing this trend, Emperor Su's Sect would be ruled by the Demon Path for a long time unless he could choose someone comparable to Shangguan Wuji.

But with Demon Lord Qing Yan ranked among the Four Kings of the Demon Sect, how strong must his master be?

Who could match him?

Su Yie began to investigate, learning more about Shangguan Wuji's background.

It turned out that today's Demon Sect was founded by Shangguan Wuji, but a thousand years ago, having greatly advanced in his demon skills, he attempted a breakthrough and went berserk, dying explosively as a result.

His downfall led to the darkest period for the Demon Path when the Demon Sect was as vilified as a rat crossing the street, despised by everyone; hence, Demon Lord Qing Yan did not want to mention him because during that time, the elders of the Demon Sect had advised Shangguan Wuji against practicing those demon skills, but he didn't listen.

At the height of his power, no one in the path of good or evil could contend with Shangguan Wuji, not even the Demon Clan dared to provoke him.

Even Xia Tianyi and the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands dared not be too assertive in front of Shangguan Wuji.

Black Tiger Emperor: Senior Shangguan, it's time to contribute resources for joining the sect.

Shangguan Wuji: Hmm? Resources for joining? When have I ever feared anyone on the paths of good and evil?

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Master... this isn't the Demon Sect...

Shangguan Wuji: I've always been this arrogant, plucking stars and moons with my hands, and treading over all lands with my feet. Who dares to toy with me?

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Crazy...

Demon Wolf Star: Awesome...

Su Yie watched, burning with anger, putting on quite the show!

He immediately let his anger show, speaking out within Emperor Su's Sect.

Emperor Su: A brazen young upstart dares to be so rampant! The legend of the Demon Path counts for what? I am the legend of the All Heavens Universe! With just a breath, I can show you the scenery of hell!

Shangguan Wuji: You... Aaaaah!

Demon Wolf Star: Damn! Emperor Su! Stop messing with us! Aaaaah!

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Master... you old undying fellow! You'd be better off buried in the soil! I can't take it...

Wux Qingyao: Senior...

Immediately following, Xia Tianyi, Black Tiger Emperor, Elder Lord Qi Yang, and the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands all painfully begged for mercy.

Su Yie quickly regained his composure, his anger subsiding and the pressure that enveloped all members of Emperor Su's Sect also dispersed.

At that moment, members of Emperor Su's Sect wherever they were, still felt unnerved.

The authority of the Great Dao Communication Device only tortured the spirit of Emperor Su's Sect members to their limits, it wouldn't cause their deaths, otherwise Wux Qingyao would have died long ago.

Only by using the authority to erase, could one kill a member of Emperor Su's Sect.

After showing his power, not only Senior Shangguan but even the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands began to fear Emperor Su.

Eventually, Shangguan Wuji straightforwardly handed over the sect entry resources, including a Demon Sword named Heartbreak.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Heartbreaking Sword was a Fifth-Grade High-grade Magic Instrument, the Demon Sword that brought Shangguan Wuji to fame. Supposedly, it had slain over ten million beings and was a gift from his master.

Upon seeing it, Demon Lord Qing Yan became annoyed and questioned why Shangguan Wuji hadn't passed Heartbreak Sword to him.

Shangguan Wuji answered nonchalantly that he had been reluctant to part with it at the time.

Demon Lord Qing Yan fell silent, in this instance, silence was more profound than words.

At this moment, Su Yie was examining the Heartbreak Sword in his hands. This sword was a dozen centimeters longer than the Zhou Wu Sword, about three fingers wide with silver-edged blades and a dark center adorned with blood-red stripes. Its hilt resembled the mouth of a ferocious tiger.

Holding the Heartbreak Sword, Su Yie felt its coolness.

By then, he had also disconnected from the Great Dao Communication Device, and Feng Long's consciousness was restored.

"Eh? What a fine Demon Sword!"

Feng Long exclaimed, "Where did you pick this up, lad?"

Su Yie disregarded the comment and began to swing the Heartbreak Sword.

He found it quite suitable.

He then began to perform the basic techniques of the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword, noticing the style was now more domineering and less agile.

"This sword should be handled with care, it's easy to fall into demonism," Feng Long warned, his tone peculiar.

Hmm?

Jealousy?

Su Yie raised an eyebrow as he thought, and Feng Long, like a cat with its tail stepped on, cursed, "You're the one who's jealous, talking like I'm some damsel."

"You're not even a damsel, you're just a Sword Soul. Please recognize your own status!"

"It enrages me too! Go ahead and use it then!"

Feng Long said no more, obviously sulking.

Thus, Su Yie's training regimen now included the Heartbreak Sword. Using a Demon Sword to master the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword wasn't too challenging for him. He planned to practice using a two-handed sword, which might be very useful in the future.

As for the dangers inherent in the Demon Sword, he didn't really mind. He wasn't even scared of the easily demon-possessed Sacred Body of Qiling, let alone a Demon Sword.

Moreover, cultivating as a Demon Cultivator was inherently risky.

Of course, his greatest reliance was still the Great Dao Communication Device.

Time flew by swiftly.

Before he knew it, two months had passed.

The number of Shape-Shifting Great Demons in Yaojian Mountain had increased to twenty, and the number of monsters had reached a staggering one hundred and fifty thousand.

Among them were thirteen thousand Imps of the Demon Qi realm and twenty thousand Great Demons of the Demon Core realm.

In the Bailing Territory, he was now a well-known and influential Great Demon King, all within just over three months.

Furthermore, his cultivation realm was still stuck in the Shape-Shifting Great Demon Realm, always one step away from the Mystic Demon King Realm.

One day, Su Yie prepared to head to Sunset Ravine.

In this intervening period, although the Demon Emperor was furious, he had not indiscriminately slaughtered Demon Kings. He extensively invited entities from the righteous and demonic paths of the Human Clan, as well as people from the Seven Dynasties, reportedly to discuss territorial matters between the Human and Demon Clans. Wux Qingyao also came with Luoshui Sect.

Furthermore, Qingyi Sect, which had taken in Xiwan City, was also sending representatives.

Several sects and clans, including the Demon Sect, were among those coming from the Demon Path, but since Demon Lord Qing Yan was hunting down traitors from the Demon Sect, he couldn't attend, thus Su Yie missed the chance to see his style.

To prevent the invasion of Yaojian Mountain, Su Yie only took the Crimson Flame Lion King with him to Sunset Ravine, a journey fraught with danger. Naturally, he wouldn't bring Nan Xiaopao, who had already become very strong. Apart from Luo Zhenhai, none of the creatures on Yaojian Mountain could rival her, especially with her protected by the Sacred Lotus of Qiling.
