Master of the Demon Emperor

Emperor Su's Sect had never been targeted to this extent.

"You want me to take care of Su Lingding, don't you?"

Wux Qingyao raised her head and asked, while gently stroking Su Lingding's hair.

Su Yie shook his head, saying, "You come with me, leave her behind."

He could feel that both the Tai Su Celestial Lord and Tai Su Sword Lord sincerely cared for him, which was why he wanted them to stay behind.

Entrusting them with Su Lingding's care shouldn't be a problem.

But Wux Qingyao was different, she was not related to him and had no connection with the Tai Su Celestial Lord, staying would be too dangerous for her.

Wux Qingyao fell silent, her brow furrowed as she asked, "Can you be at ease?"

"Rest assured, if you leave her here, no one will be able to harm her."

At that moment, the voice of the Tai Su Sword Lord reached them, as she appeared suddenly beside Wux Qingyao.

She looked at Su Yie and asked, "Have you truly decided?"

Su Yie nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, the Tai Su Sword Lord shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Why must you do this? The Heavenly Monarch is targeting Emperor Su's Sect, not you."

Being a doppelganger of the Tai Su Celestial Lord, she deeply knew the Tai Su Celestial Lord's feelings for Su Yie.

"Without Emperor Su's Sect, there is no me."

Su Yie responded, explaining he had once thought about being honest with the Tai Su Celestial Lord, but upon reflecting, he realized he hadn't been with the Tai Su Celestial Lord long enough to be sure of his position in her heart.

So he didn't want to risk it unnecessarily.

Besides, with Su Lingding's talents, perhaps the Tai Su Celestial Lord might take a liking to her?

Straight away, Su Yie and Wux Qingyao teleported back to Yang Jian's side.

"Emperor Su's Sect..."

The Tai Su Sword Lord looked at the spot they had just stood, murmuring to herself.

Struggle flickered through her eyes.

Joining Emperor Su's Sect had added much joy to her otherwise bland life, and unknowingly, she had come to acknowledge the sect.

If Emperor Su's Sect were to perish, could she really act as if it never existed?

She slowly approached Su Lingding, who was still lying on the ground asleep, oblivious that her parents had already left.

...

"Is this The Gate of the Great Dao?"

Black Tiger Emperor leaned in close to Yang Jian, asking curiously.

Yang Jian was sitting in meditation next to The Gate of the Great Dao, guarding it.

The Gate of the Great Dao was nothing but another The Gate of Misfortune, only its surface was even more worn.

Piercing Arm Monkey came over and dragged Black Tiger Emperor away, grumbling, "Stay away from it, lest you mess up the plan. We don't want to die because of you!"

Hearing this, Black Tiger Emperor felt insulted and furiously said, "Are you mocking me?"

"Yes! What are you going to do about it?"

Piercing Arm Monkey arrogantly retorted, challenging Black Tiger Emperor.

"Of course I won't accept that, Brother Monkey, you can't bully your brother like this!"

Black Tiger Emperor protested, though his words revealed his submission.

The other members of Emperor Su's Sect nearby all shook their heads and chuckled. With Black Tiger Emperor as the jester, things were certainly entertaining.

Thankfully, the other few jesters had already passed away.

"How many people haven't arrived yet?"

Su Yie stood up and asked, worried that if they delayed any longer, the Origin Divine Clan might arrive.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha swept his gaze around and said, "Nine Palaces Supreme, Yin Yang God Shaker, Supreme Ninth Level, Tai Su Sword Lord, Li Huahun, Ren Wokuang, Ren Wolang, Desolate Martial God, Qi Taxing, Sun Qitian, Celestial Martial Emperor, the people I know of who haven't arrived yet are just these."

Upon hearing this, Su Yie wondered if all these individuals were related to the Hongmeng Divine Spirits.

The Nine Palaces Supreme, Yin Yang God Shaker, and Supreme Ninth Level were all acquaintances of the Tai Su Sword Lord, and their surnames all represented certain rules, which inevitably led him to speculate wildly.

Besides them, Iron Master Yuanyang God, Yin Baoyang, Divine Authority of the Netherworld, Wei Yao Nie, and Ye Kuanglan had also not arrived.

The first four had never acted in the name of Emperor Su's Sect and thus were naturally unafraid, while Ye Kuanglan had to be stationed in the Reincarnation Land, and besides those within, no one knew he was also a member of Emperor Su's Sect.

Su Yie pondered and said, "When the time comes, if they do not arrive, we shall leave."

Xia Tianyi frowned and asked, "Would that not be problematic?"

After all, Li Huahun, Ren Wokuang, and others were members of the Myriad Demon Court.

Su Yie gave him a meaningful glance and said, "Most of them have the Hongmeng Divine Spirits to rely on."

At this statement, all members of the Emperor Su's Sect's faces turned dramatically.

By now, they abhorred the Hongmeng Divine Spirits to the extreme.

No wonder the Hongmeng Divine Spirits and Origin Divine Clan could precisely locate them; it turned out there was an insider within the Emperor Su's Sect!

However, Li Huahun, Tai Su Sword Lord, and others had not betrayed the Emperor Su's Sect.

Su Yie wanted to explain, but feared that the more he said, the worse it would become, and this incident could also incite their rage.

When the time came to strike back against the Hongmeng Divine Spirits, he would let Li Huahun and others explain.

At that moment, the Celestial Martial Emperor transmitted over.

He stood next to Yang Jian, shook his head, and sighed, "My mother is not here, but I have found my mother, and she will step in to help."

The Black Tiger Emperor blinked and asked, "Isn't your mother the principal consort of the Celestial Emperor?"

The Celestial Martial Emperor glared at him and huffed, "Does your mother qualify to be a consort of the Celestial Emperor?"

The Black Tiger Emperor, furious, wanted to fight the Celestial Martial Emperor, but considering the disparity in their strengths, he had to abandon the idea.

"The Heavenly Consort stepping in? That would be for the best, the Hongmeng Divine Spirits surely wouldn't dare to touch the Heavenly Consort."

Yang Jian said excitedly, causing the Celestial Martial Emperor to lift his chin.

But he then pondered aloud, "My mother can only help you delay time, and moreover, I may not be able to leave with you, as she is worried. After ensuring your escape, I must retreat in seclusion for a million years before her..."

No one objected to this, as they figured if they were the mother of the Celestial Martial Emperor, they would likely do the same.

Time went by.

The three-day period soon arrived.

The Black Tiger Emperor stood up, looked at all the members of the Emperor Su's Sect, and said, "Let's depart, lest the enemy strikes at the very last moment."

"You're right, we're here!"

Just then, Shi Dutian's cold laugh echoed, bringing a killing intent that chilled everyone to the bone.

Shangguan Wuji couldn't help but burst out, "Black Tiger Emperor! Can't you just keep your mouth shut?"

Feeling the many murderous gazes around him, the Black Tiger Emperor shrank his neck and gave an embarrassed smile.

Wang Buqi, Sword Emperor, Victorious Fighting Buddha, and members of the Jidao Sect soared into the air, ready for battle.

Yang Jian then infused his mana into The Gate of the Great Dao, trying to activate it.

They had not tried it before, fearing that The Gate of the Great Dao would consume them. If they couldn't traverse through The Gate of the Great Dao together, they would be in great danger.

Yang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on? The Gate of the Great Dao won't activate..."

Ji Bubai widened his eyes and said, "You've got to be kidding me... this sucks?"

The others gathered around, each channeling their mana into The Gate of the Great Dao.

At that moment, Shi Dutian, leading a hundred Origin Beings, tore through the space and entered this starry sky.

Everyone looked up, and Shi Dutian, wrapped in eerie grey flames, appeared stronger than before.

"Insect, coming to be thrashed again?"

Wang Buqi stared at Shi Dutian, taunting him.
