Master of the Demon Emperor

Gazing at this row of vines intertwined to form a wooden wall, the cultivators all stopped, their expressions somewhat stunned.

The man in black stared at Su Yie, his eyes widening as if he had seen some inconceivable being. He muttered to himself, "Three-legged Golden Crow... how is it possible... Could it be that he has come from the Eastern Lands?"

In the current age, Golden Crows only lived in the Eastern Lands.

When the beings of the Southern Wilderness thought of the Eastern Lands, the first thing that came to mind was the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow is the sun, rising from the east.

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to Nan Xiaopao, and a strange smile spread across his face.

Nan Xiaopao was dressed in a spotless white gown, her features charming, skin delicate and fair, eyes curved like crescent moons. Her long hair was pinned up behind her head with a hairpin, with two strands lying against her cheeks, and together with her bangs, she looked utterly different from the average woman, igniting his Heart Movement in an instant.

This woman, he must have her!

With that thought, he chuckled and said, "Miss, could it be that the Golden Crow is your pet?"

Having a divine beast as a pet, this woman's background must be extraordinary.

If she were to fall for him, that would be a wonderful thing.

Nan Xiaopao was taken aback and cursed furiously, "Your whole family are my pets!"

The man in black was stunned, as were the cultivators behind him.

This woman looked so beautiful, with a dignified aura, so why were her words so crude?

"Miss, do you know who our young master is?"

"Young master, kill her!"

"Hmph, this woman has insulted our young master so blatantly, she must be captured and made a slave for our young master!"

"Everyone be careful, this demoness is no simple matter. With a Golden Crow as her pet, and that ant beside her being so strange and of unknown origin..."

"Could she be from some beast-taming clan?"

The cultivators discussed amongst themselves, most of them not taking Nan Xiaopao seriously.

The man in black was named Xiang Han, a pride of the Southern Wilderness Demon Path, second only to Ke Tiancheng. At just a hundred years old, he had already reached the Immortal Destiny Realm and was considered by the creatures of the Southern Wilderness to have the potential to become an immortal.

Xiang Han raised his palm and smacked it down, dispersing all the vines of the Sacred Lotus of Qiling into flying wood chips that filled the sky.

He stepped forward, walking towards Nan Xiaopao.

As for Su Yie, he left him alone. Even if this Golden Crow achieved a breakthrough, it would only reach the Heavenly Void Realm, far inferior to him, not a concern at all.

If he subdued Nan Xiaopao, the Golden Crow would belong to him as well.

"Stop right there, I know Emperor Jiang Mo, if you dare to come any closer, beware that Emperor Jiang Mo leaves you with no ground to stand on!"

Nan Xiaopao shouted sternly, with an expression as if to say she had a powerful backer.

In reality, she was not at all familiar with Emperor Jiang Mo, and had not even spoken to him.

But in the Southern Wilderness, it was only Emperor Jiang Mo who held any deterrent power, as for Supreme Dragon Shaking, he had become a stray dog, no longer in the Southern Wilderness.

"Emperor Jiang Mo?"

Xiang Han halted his step, a strange smile appearing on his face.

The cultivators also burst into hearty laughter, some even holding their stomachs and laughing so hard that tears streamed from their eyes.

A female cultivator, clutching her belly, laughed, "Little girl, do you know what Emperor Jiang Mo is to our young master?"

Nan Xiaopao frowned and asked, "What is he?"

"Our young master is the Demon Path pride, Xiang Han, known as Second Young Master Xiang. Emperor Jiang Mo is his uncle, how could you not recognize him?" the female cultivator scoffed with contempt on her face.

Nan Xiaopao was embarrassed and quickly inquired in her mind.

Nan Xiaopao: Senior Jiang, do you know Xiang Han? He says you are his uncle.

Supreme Dragon Shaking: What's the matter, you've run into trouble?

Emperor Jiang Mo: I am alone in this world, where's this nephew from?

Demon Wolf Star: Hahaha, is someone trying to act tough with you, saying that Emperor Jiang Mo is his uncle? Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

Savage Devouring Heavenly Mouse: 666, a face-slapping moment!

Li Huahun: Give me half a month more, and I will emerge to ensure that you all have no worries for the rest of your lives!

...

Upon learning that Emperor Jiang Mo did not know who Xiang Han was, Nan Xiaopao immediately relaxed.

With a loud bang!

A huge vine rose up, propelling her into the air, where she stood with her hands on her hips and snorted, "Whether you are Second Young Master Xiang or little brother Xiang, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiang Han thought she was outraged and embarrassed and smiled blissfully, "How would you be impolite?"

The other cultivators also burst into laughter, taunting Nan Xiaopao. Nan Xiaopao was merely at the level of Cultivation of the Astral Projection Realm, how could she possibly deal with them?

"Little girl, do you think you can beat so many of us?"

"With those flying ants by your side?"

"Hahaha! You must want to die of laughter!"

"Your Golden Crow can't help you, and even if it could, it's not enough, it's too weak."

"Come on, I, your grandpa, will let you have three moves!"

The cultivators mocked while encircling Nan Xiaopao.

Nan Xiaopao was infuriated, holding the Blood Gourd in her left hand, and grabbing the cloth at the mouth of the bottle with her right hand, she threatened, "This is your last chance, once I make my move, even an Immortal God won't be able to save you!"

Her words made the cultivators laugh even harder, and immediately, some of them took out their magic artifacts, preparing to strike at Nan Xiaopao.

Xiang Han did not stop them, instead, he watched smiling blissfully. Although Nan Xiaopao's background might be powerful, in the Southern Wilderness, who did he need to fear?

Besides, this was a desolate and uninhabited area, where no one would see.

Worst case, he could hide the Golden Crow until his cultivation was complete. Then, he could command the Golden Crow to traverse the world, who would dare seek revenge against him?

"Your girl is in trouble."

Feng Long teased Su Yie in his mind. Even though Su Yie's heart was filled with murderous intent, he did not lose his composure. With the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants swarming around, Nan Xiaopao wouldn't be in trouble.

Nan Xiaopao directly opened the Blood Gourd, and a thunderous buzzing sound emanated from inside the gourd, deafening to hear.

The cultivators were instantly horrified and backed away, but it was already too late.

Countless Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants flew out from the Blood Gourd, attacking the cultivators directly.

"What are these things?"

"No good! Run! These are Ancient Vicious Insects!"

"So fast! Aaah—Save me!"

"My leg…"

"Everyone, run for your lives!"

Panic-stricken, the cultivators scattered, with Xiang Han being the fastest, fleeing like a Thunderclap across the sky. In less than ten breaths, the other cultivators were sucked dry by the Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants, a terrifying sight to behold.

Even Nan Xiaopao couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands, muttering to herself, "These are all my little darlings..."

Xiang Han, at the level of the Immortal Destiny Realm, flew extremely fast, but unfortunately, he was no match for the Ant Queen's speed.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The Ant Queen's wing flapping sounded like thunder behind him, nearly scaring Xiang Han's guts out.

"What is that thing... Why is it so terrifying..."

Xiang Han roared inside his heart as he felt the life-forces of his companions vanish.

The Bloodthirsty Golden Flame Ants were incredibly powerful now, having absorbed the blood of two Immortal Gods, how could Xiang Han resist?

Soon, the Ant Queen caught him, giving him no chance to resist, as it sucked his blood dry.

All were annihilated!

While undergoing his Transcend Tribulation, Su Yie let out a shriek, and those illusions were completely dissipated by him, with the Sacred Lotus of Qiling playing no small part in this.

The Heavenly Tribulation also reached its most critical juncture!

Above the rolling Thunderclouds emerged an extremely domineering shadow, as imposing as the Heavenly General of yore, towering hundreds of feet tall, looking down upon the land.
