Master of the Demon Emperor

"The Eastern Lands are vast, Overlord Luo Fu wouldn't care about the Bailing Territory. I'll apologize later if necessary."

The old demon said carelessly, but couldn't help frowning.

Overlord Luo Fu was one of the Five Emperors of the Demon Race in the Eastern Lands. With just one order, he would be dead without a doubt.

However, Overlord Luo Fu probably wouldn't get angry over the Bailing Territory.

Hearing this, the other Demon Kings nodded in agreement.

Just thinking about the Seven Dynasties of the Human Clan next to the Bailing Territory made the Demon Kings nearly drool.

Humans were born with Innate Taoist Bodies, perfect for cultivation. Other races transformed into human shapes for this reason. To the demons, humans were the best food.

Thus, they began discussing how to conquer the Bailing Territory.

Even though the Bailing Demon Emperor was dead, the Bailing Territory was still vast and not easy to conquer.

...

Six days later.

Su Yie and the others reached the border of the Human Clan at full speed. Looking at the city walls at the edge of the desert, Su Yie said to Wux Qingyao, "Let's part ways here."

Wux Qingyao nodded and walked away with her sword, her white dress fluttering like a wandering female warrior.

Watching her back, Nan Xiaopao waved and said, "Sister Wux, see you again if fate allows!"

Wux Qingyao didn't look back, raising her hand to wave her sword as she left gracefully.

The Crimson Flame Lion King sighed inwardly, The Imp Empress just walked away like that, the Demon Lord is really pathetic!

If Su Yie knew his thoughts, he would have torn him apart alive.

Then, the Crimson Flame Lion King turned and ran west.

"Su Yie, are you a bit reluctant?"

Nan Xiaopao suddenly turned to Su Yie and asked, her eyes sharp.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Su Yie was taken aback and said irritably, "Hugging you, how dare I be reluctant?"

"Tch, all men are big pigs' trotters."

"You talk like you're a little pig's trotter."

"But seriously, will you take concubines in the future? This is not Earth anymore, can I control you?"

"I am so loyal!"

"Then don't avoid my gaze! Compared to you finding other women, I think Sister Wux is better, at least I don't dislike her."

"Really?"

"Ha! Gotcha!"

The two began to playfight on the Crimson Flame Lion King's back, talking and laughing all the way, making the journey less dull.

It would take some time to reach Jiaye Temple.

With the Crimson Flame Lion King as their mount, no cultivators or monsters approached them en route.

However, their presence was noticed by the Human Clan, as they traveled along the border and would naturally be seen by soldiers. The Crimson Flame Lion King was simply too conspicuous.

The Crimson Flame Lion King ran fast in the wild, comparable to a Ferrari speeding on Earth.

About eight days later, they were close to Jiaye Temple.

Wux Qingyao had mentioned that heading west along the Human Clan's border, one could see red smoke rising, and that would be Jiaye Temple.

"Wait, let's rest here for a few days."

Su Yie suddenly called to the Crimson Flame Lion King, directing him to a riverbank not far away.

There were still a few days until the Divine Shadow Legion could move out again, and he had to wait.

Jiaye Temple was no simple place. What if they changed their minds and became hostile towards demons?

Nan Xiaopao, thinking he was reluctant to part, nodded in agreement.

The two of them sat by the river, while the Crimson Flame Lion King went hunting for them.

"If you really can enter Jiaye Temple, be cautious. Message me if anything happens."

Su Yie reminded her. As he spoke, he beckoned with his right hand, and a parrot the size of a fist swooped down, exquisite and delicate.

Nan Xiaopao's eyes lit up. She instinctively raised her hand, and the parrot landed on it.

"Greetings, Demon Empress, I'm Xiao Ying."

The parrot's voice was ethereal and childish, like a little kid.

Su Yie introduced, "Her mother was a demon formed from a Demon Core. She was born eight months ago, she's a female parrot. If there's anything, have her deliver messages to me. She's familiar with the route now."

"She's so small, what if a monster eats her?" Nan Xiaopao hugged Xiao Ying, looking pained.

Su Yie was speechless. Sister, she's a monster too!

Thus, Nan Xiaopao became acquainted with Xiao Ying, completely ignoring Su Yie.

After a while, the Crimson Flame Lion King came back with a sheep in his mouth, dropped it by the river, and said with a smile, "We can have roasted lamb tonight!"

For the next few days, they waited by the river. The Crimson Flame Lion King was very perceptive. If there was nothing to do, he would stay far away and not disturb Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao.

When the Divine Shadow Legion's cooldown time ended, Su Yie decided to set off.

Jiaye Temple was located in the mountains, between two peaks, with more than a dozen temple buildings arranged like steps, with red-tiled roofs and white walls, looking majestic in the mountains.

Su Yie, Nan Xiaopao, and the Crimson Flame Lion King emerged from the forest and stood at the foot of the mountain, staring at Jiaye Temple with expressions of awe.

Jiaye Temple appeared transcendental. Each individual temple was ancient and unremarkable, but together, it felt as if a Great Buddha was chanting sutras on the mountain.

Solemn!

Holy!

"Jiaye Temple is sacred ground, no demons allowed. Leave quickly."

A cold female voice sounded, strict but without loathing or hatred.

This made Su Yie gain a better impression of Jiaye Temple. At least they didn't immediately attack or humiliate them.

Monsters in the Human Clan territory usually received poor treatment.

Of course, the reverse was also true.

"We have a Sacred Body of Qiling here, and we hope your temple can take her in!"

Su Yie said loudly. Despite his good impression, he was ready to summon the Divine Shadow Legion, as he sensed many powerful beings in Jiaye Temple.

These nuns lived up to their reputation!

As soon as he finished speaking, several strong auras descended, causing the Crimson Flame Lion King to crouch and roar.

Xiao Ying also trembled on Nan Xiaopao's shoulder.

Ten nuns in kasayas flew from Jiaye Temple, moving in a line, like immortals walking on air.

Su Yie instinctively shielded Nan Xiaopao to protect her from harm.

Soon, the ten nuns landed in front of them. The leader, a middle-aged nun with a severe expression, stared at Nan Xiaopao and murmured, "It really is the Sacred Body of Qiling!"

The other nuns also examined Nan Xiaopao with curious expressions.

"There's been a rumor of a Sacred Body of Qiling appearing in Mystical City recently. Could it be you?"

The middle-aged nun asked Nan Xiaopao, her eyes showing a hint of excitement.

Nan Xiaopao hesitated, but under Su Yie's signal, she cautiously nodded.

"Very well, from now on, you will join Jiaye Temple to avoid walking a wicked path. I am Ling Sang, the abbess of Jiaye Temple. Are you willing to take me as your master?"

The middle-aged nun directly extended an olive branch, surprising the other nuns who looked at each other in disbelief.

Ling Sang!

Su Yie raised his eyebrows. This name had come up when inviting people before. Had he known this, he would have recruited her earlier.

"Okay, but…"

Nan Xiaopao nodded, looking hesitant.

"What is it?" Ling Sang smiled, her sternness melting like ice, becoming kind.

Nan Xiaopao fidgeted and shyly asked, "Do I have to shave my head to join Jiaye Temple?"
