Chapter 110 Great Cang Invincible Body
The robed elder was none other than Li Zuxuan!
The Supreme Emperor of Mighty Tang, his own father, Li Mengde!
Li Mengde and Liu Boya were stunned; they hadn't expected the long-missing Li Zuxuan to suddenly appear.
And that too when the Demon Lord was present!
Li Mengde instantly panicked, hurried forward, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you not inform us of your return?"
"Do I need to inform you when I come back?"
Li Zuxuan glared at him, his voice filled with anger.
Li Mengde recoiled from the shout, feeling wronged inside. It was just one question, why such an outburst of anger?
Su Yie stood on the side, watching. He hadn't expected Li Zuxuan, who was so submissive in Emperor Su's Sect, to have such a fierce temper.
Li Zuxuan then turned and walked towards Su Yie, came up to him, and suddenly smiled warmly, his face blooming like an old chrysanthemum. He smiled and said, "Demon Lord, may we have a talk?"
Seeing the somewhat restrained Li Zuxuan, Li Mengde and Liu Boya's mouths hung open.
They could hardly believe their own eyes.
Li Zuxuan was known to be arrogant and domineering; that trait Li Mengde had inherited from him.
Yet here he was, behaving so ingratiatingly towards the Demon Lord?
Su Yie nodded nonchalantly, feeling very pleased inside. Li Zuxuan knew his place well!
Thus, Li Zuxuan led Su Yie away, bowing and scraping in a manner that left Li Mengde baffled for a long time.
"Could the Supreme Emperor know of the Demon Lord's background?"
Liu Boya suddenly ventured boldly, snapping Li Mengde out of his daze.
That was the only possibility!
Li Zuxuan would have no reason to treat the Demon Lord this way otherwise.
"If that is the case, we need to replan."
Li Mengde took a deep breath and said solemnly.
Even Li Zuxuan didn't mind braving great dangers to return, which showed how formidable Su Yie's background must be.
Liu Boya nodded. They were familiar with the Demon Sect, but they knew only about Yaojian Mountain regarding Su Yie.
In a sense, Su Yie posed a greater potential danger.
Elsewhere.
Li Zuxuan led Su Yie to the Imperial Flower Garden, where the two sat down in a stone pavilion.
"Indeed, worthy of the one esteemed by him, the Demon Lord truly has an imposing presence."

Li Zuxuan praised unabashedly, the old rascal still sensible enough not to mention Emperor Su's name.
Su Yie nodded, saying, "Many have said that, and I am tired of hearing it."
"..."
Li Zuxuan's mouth twitched, suddenly at a loss for words.
This guy was shameless, wasn't he?
How was he any different from the Black Tiger Emperor?
"Speak, what brings you back specially?"
Su Yie cut through the awkward atmosphere, getting straight to the point.
In fact, he had already guessed, but he wanted to hear it from Li Zuxuan.
"I hope the Demon Lord can protect Mighty Tang, for in the future, Mighty Tang shall become..."
Li Zuxuan spoke gravely, pausing to scan the surroundings to ensure no one was nearby, then continued in a low voice, "A subordinate power to Emperor Su's Sect!"
In his eyes, Su Yie was a disciple of Emperor Su, surely prioritizing Emperor Su's Sect.
Su Yie pretended to ponder, saying, "That's not easy to say. Now that the Leader of the Demon Cult is after me, I can hardly secure my own safety, let alone protect Mighty Tang. I might even die within Chang An of Mighty Tang."
How cunning!
Li Zuxuan cursed inwardly. We are all in Emperor Su's Sect, did he think I wasn't aware of what Senior Li had said?
Who is Li Huahun?
An existence that even the founder of the Demon Cult must address as "senior brother"!
"Senior Li will soon arrive in Chang An. Then, who dares to kill you? Not even Wei Niantian!"
Li Zuxuan wore a stern expression as he spoke in a grave tone, as if saying if you keep a low profile again, I'll be upset with you!
The next second, his face broke into a smile, "So, I hope you will protect Mighty Tang when it matters. Whatever you want, as long as I can provide it, I will definitely do so."
Hearing this, Su Yie finally showed a smile, "That's more like it. We are all from the same sect; no need to beat around the bush!"
Li Zuxuan chuckled awkwardly.
"I want clues about the Ancient Seven Celestial Swords, or even famous swords of the world will do. You must try your best to help me search for them. The more famous swords I obtain, the safer Mighty Tang will be."
Su Yie stated his demands directly. Li Zuxuan wasn't shocked since he knew that Su Yie was a genius in the way of the sword.
"Actually, we..." Li Zuxuan began with a smile.
But before he could finish, Su Yie interrupted, "That Immortal Sword your son promised me doesn't count!"
Li Zuxuan's expression instantly stiffened, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
His hard-won Immortal Sword was gone just like that?
At that moment, Su Yie seemed to hear something suddenly shatter, the sound crisp and clear.
...
Outside the Seven Dynasties, in the wilderness of the mountains.
Two transformed monsters strolled along, one a valiant man dressed in red with deer antlers, and the other an old man leaning on a cane.
As the valiant man walked, Demon Qi spread from under his feet, making it seem as if he was treading on clouds.
The elder followed closely, appearing aged yet vigorous, his demeanor gentle like a kindly grandfather next door, his fox tail peeking out from under his garment.
"Demon Monarch, just ahead is the Evil Bat Cave. The Demon Kings of this region have all gone to pledge allegiance to the Demon Lord," said the old fox-tail.
He constantly surveyed their surroundings, as if searching for something.
The valiant man addressed as the Demon Monarch nodded, "It's good to take over the Evil Bat Demon's territory, then observe the Seven Dynasties. It's said that the Sacred Body of Qiling is within the territory of the Seven Dynasties and Bailing. Lu Ziwei is back, likely for this reason. More importantly, the Great Cang Invincible Body!"
Sacred Body of Qiling!
Great Cang Invincible Body!
The old fox-tail pondered, "The Sacred Body of Qiling is still manageable, appearing once every thousand years, but the Great Cang Invincible Body is a terrifying constitution that emerges once every ten thousand years, capable of absorbing all the energies of heaven and earth. Can such a small place as the Seven Dynasties and Bailing yield the Great Cang Invincible Body?"
The Demon Monarch shook his head with a wry smile, "Only possibly in Mystical City."
Mystical City!
News of the heavenly descent of Mystical City onto the Land of Qiling had spread throughout the Ancient Wilderness long ago, and many powerful beings were unable to divine its fate, leading to various rumors.
The Demon Monarch, skilled in divination and prediction, sensed that the Great Cang Invincible Body, rare to appear once in ten thousand years, had already emerged into the world.
The old fox-tail also fell deep into thought. Mystical City was too enigmatic, filling him with unease.
The two demons continued onward, preparing to take over the territory of the Evil Bat Demon.
...
In a mansion in Chang An, Su Yie was practicing in the courtyard.
This mansion was arranged by Liu Boya, with guards from the Mighty Tang Imperial Guards outside, preventing any disturbances.
Su Yie furrowed his brows. Inside Emperor Su's Sect, there was a discussion about a serious matter.
Xiahou Jinxuan: Is this true? The Fiend Lord of the Hanging Flame went near the Seven Dynasties?
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: Yes, I encountered him by chance and almost fought with him.
Overlord Luo Fu: It's good you didn't fight. You are no match for the Fiend Lord of the Hanging Flame. Although he's not one of the Five Emperors of the Demon Race, his strength isn't inferior to them.
Empress of the Great Zhou: It might be because of Lu Ziwei. He has a deep-seated enmity with her.
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: The Fiend Lord of the Hanging Flame, huh? Just the right challenge for me!
Fiend Lord of the Hanging Flame!
An existence as strong as the Five Emperors of the Demon Race!
Su Yie felt a headache coming on. If this continued, the Seven Dynasties were really going to be trampled, and even the Bailing Territory would be caught in the vortex.
