Master of the Demon Emperor

"Someone's coming."

Nan Xiaopao turned to look, her right hand quickly slapped the ground, and the Sacred Lotus of Qiling burrowed into the earth, disappearing from sight.

The Sacred Lotus of Qiling was most powerful under the earth; to prevent danger, she took the initiative to move the Sacred Body of Qiling underground, ready for battle at any moment.

Hundreds of Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants occupied the desert, posing a sufficient threat to any enemy.

Soon, the cold light stopped, and to everyone's surprise, it was a woman. She wore a blue dress, her hair cascaded down freely, and although her features weren't stunningly beautiful, they were above average.

She looked at the hundreds of Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants on the sandy beach, her pretty face changing slightly, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

"Are these the Ancient Vicious Insects... Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants?"

Cold sweat began to form on her forehead, her fear growing.

If they were truly Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants, it would be a disaster for the Southern Wilderness.

Su Yie watched her coldly; seeing this many Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants and the woman still refusing to leave, he suspected she had ulterior motives.

Nan Xiaopao asked, "What is your business here? If there's nothing, please leave."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the blue dress immediately turned and prepared to fly along the coastline, but just then, she caught a glimpse of Su Yie and was immensely shocked, causing her to stop once again.

Women have a strong sixth sense. Nan Xiaopao caught on instantly and, feeling immensely annoyed, pursed her lips.

"Are you the Great Cang Tyrant Body?"

The woman in the blue dress stared at Su Yie and asked. He remained indifferent and did not respond.

He wondered to himself, since when were there so many with the Great Cang Tyrant Body? Just like the Heavenly Prides of the Endless Ocean.

Since when did so many appear? Weren't there supposed to be only one Emperor's Body and King's Body in the same generation?

"If you don't leave now, don't blame my children for being impolite!"

Nan Xiaopao huffed, and all the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants turned their heads towards the woman in the blue dress, scaring her into a cold sweat and causing her immediate escape.

Su Yie did not dislike Nan Xiaopao's action; on the contrary, he appreciated it.

He came to the Southern Wilderness to search for the Immortal Gate and did not want any complications.

Even if the woman in the blue dress was a Great Cang Tyrant Body, what was it to Su Yie? She was no different from a mortal spirit in his eyes.

Afterward, they rested on the sand for two hours before riding the Ant Queen deeper into the Southern Wilderness.

"Do you have a method to contain these insects? These Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants are too big, and they might attract a lot of trouble later on."

Su Yie asked in his mind; previously, in the Eastern Lands and Endless Ocean, he was not afraid, as the ant swarm could deter enemies, but entering the Southern Wilderness was different, with too many strong individuals. Once the news got out, it could likely attract many powerful beings to snatch them away.

"You'd need a Spatial Artifact of at least Grade Five. Do you have one?"

Han Yuan asked in his mind, and Su Yie immediately responded affirmatively. As the owner of Emperor Su's Sect's Repository of the Dao, the repository contained thousands of Magic Artifacts with mostly decent grades, so locating a Spatial Artifact would be easy.

Immediately, Han Yuan taught Su Yie a spell, which also required some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to create restrictions inside the Spatial Artifact, forging an independent space where living creatures could survive.

For the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants, as long as there was True Sunflame or fresh blood, they could survive, so the required restrictions were not complex.

He took out a blood-colored gourd; this gourd was a tribute from the Undying Emperor, a sixth-grade medium-rank quality.

"What is this? What are you doing?"

Nan Xiaopao curiously asked, "It's only been a year, how come Su Yie seems to know everything?"

Su Yie didn't hide anything, only he didn't mention the origin of the Blood Gourd, and Nan Xiaopao didn't ask either. After all, Su Yie had accessed the Dragon Emperor's Treasure Vault and the Imperial Palace, owning countless treasures. He was a famously wealthy man within Emperor Su's Sect.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures required for the restriction weren't rare items, their main purpose was to maintain the living space rather than to specify any particular Heavenly and Earthly Treasure.

Following Bai Yuan's instructions, it took Su Yie half a day to modify the Blood Gourd. At the same time, he dropped the essence blood of the Ant Queen into it, so the ant colony wouldn't resist entering the Blood Gourd.

After successfully making the modification, Su Yie tested it out. As soon as the Blood Gourd was opened, a strong suction force pulled the ant swarm inside. He tried it several times and felt it worked very well. Nan Xiaopao was also curious and took the Blood Gourd for a try, finding it fun.

"When will you give me a few, not many, just five or six, and let them breed on their own?" Nan Xiaopao cooed, looking after the little ones as they grew. Besides Su Yie, the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants spent the most time with her, and she had grown fond of them. Aside from her and Su Yie, no one else would even think about getting close to the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants.

Su Yie nodded and said with a smile, "No problem."

The breeding speed of the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants was incredibly fast, and their numbers were exploding geometrically. In another year, their numbers might exceed two thousand. Even giving half of them to Nan Xiaopao was not an issue, let alone just five or six?

When Nan Xiaopao got Su Yie's approval, she cheered immediately.

The company of each other made the journey less dull.

After about three days of travel, they discovered a city.

Su Yie collected the Ant Queen into the Blood Gourd and wore it at his waist, then entered the city with Nan Xiaopao.

Han Yuandao only mentioned that the Immortal Gate was in the Southern Wilderness, but Su Yie still needed to ask around for the exact location.

Wherever there was a city with clusters of living beings, there were always intelligence organizations. In the Ancient Wilderness, trafficking information was the most lucrative business.

After wandering around for a while, they arrived at a tower call Mysterious Heavenly Tower, where many people were coming and going. The spacious hall could hold hundreds of people, and all walks of life gathered there.

"Have you heard? Haotian Wuxiang has descended into the Southern Wilderness and is preparing to challenge the Holy Pool."

"It's said that Emperor Jiang Mo seems to be returning to the Demon Path, but who knows if that's true."

"Times of trouble, indeed. Not all of the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers have made their appearance yet, and things are only going to get more chaotic."

"The Holy Dynasty is about to select a new royal consort. Will you be participating?"

"I want to join, but I don't have the strength. Even Ke Tiancheng, the pride of the Demon Path, is participating. Why would I go just to meet my death?"

As Su Yie listened to the conversations of the people around him without showing any reaction, he approached a servant and said, "I don't want to wait in line. How many Spirit Stones will it take?"

Upon hearing this, the servant knew a big client had arrived and immediately led Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao upstairs.

They reached the third floor where there weren't many people. It seemed that each floor had a different price for inquiries.

Soon enough, Su Yie entered a small room with Nan Xiaopao following him.

A fat old man sat behind a table, lazily drinking tea. He glanced at Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao and nonchalantly asked, "What information do you two wish to acquire?"

Su Yie took out the Immortal Gate Map and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"

He intentionally erased the Immortal Gate from the map, leaving only images of two peaks, undulating terrain, and the big river that cut the land in half.

The fat old man didn't seem to care at first, but the moment his small eyes caught sight of the map, they widened, and his whole body straightened up as he took the map shakily into his hands. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

Oh no!

Could this old man recognize the Immortal Gate?

Su Yie inwardly cursed, finding the situation unfavorable, but then the fat old man said, "This place looks very much like a forbidden area. If you want to know more about it..."
