Master of the Demon Emperor

Stepping on a blade, moving against the current!

Even though they were thousands of kilometers apart, Su Yie could already feel the powerful Sword Qi emanating from the other party.

Compared to Xia Tianyi and Lu Ziwei, it was in no way inferior, and was even faintly stronger.

"It's him! Blade Master!"

Han Yuandao's expression darkened slightly. His words made Su Yie raise an eyebrow and think, "So it is him!"

Such powerful Sword Qi, in his knowledge, only the Blade Master Peng Canghai, on par with Sword Saint Xia Tianyi, had the qualification to control.

Peng Canghai skimmed over the water on his blade, kicking up two rows of river waves that shot straight up to the heavens.

Su Yie's group of four retreated as Peng Canghai skimmed past them from the front, the river waves he kicked up crashing towards them, threatening to engulf them.

Fang Tian Divine Fist swung his fist and smashed the oncoming river waves, scattering them.

Seeing this, Peng Canghai suddenly stopped, leaped into the air with a jump, stepping on a black blade and charging toward Su Yie's group of four. Without the stirring of the Sword Qi, the river still roiled, struggling to calm down for a long time.

Tap!

Peng Canghai landed, the black blade flying into his hand, about ten meters away from Su Yie's group of four.

Su Yie sized up Peng Canghai. His first impression was that this person was very arrogant; when looking at someone, his chin was slightly raised in a manner that seemed to look down his nose at them.

"Fang Tian Divine Fist?"

Peng Canghai asked, his eyes like a wolf's, closely watching Fang Tian Divine Fist, his voice as loud as a bell, full of overbearing power.

Ren Wokuang couldn't stand him and shouted angrily, "You son of a turtle, don't you watch where you're going when you travel?"

Whoosh——

A gust of wind hit them head-on. Ren Wokuang's pupils shrank as Peng Canghai instantly appeared in front of him, the tip of his blade less than a centimeter from his throat.

With just a flick of his right arm, he could injure Ren Wokuang.

So fast!

Su Yie inwardly was shocked. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to respond to such a sudden assault either.

Both Fang Tian Divine Fist and Han Yuandao frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Peng Canghai.

Peng Canghai ignored Ren Wokuang, staring at Fang Tian Divine Fist and asking, "Why are you here?"

Fang Tian Divine Fist narrowed his eyes and replied, "Isn't that a bit too much for you to worry about?"

Peng Canghai's gaze became sharper as he stared.

The atmosphere between the five became even heavier.

Suddenly, Peng Canghai laughed, sheathed his blade, turned, and left, leaving behind only a sentence.

"You're injured; otherwise, I really would've liked to exchange a few moves with you."

His words made Fang Tian Divine Fist's expression turn slightly unpleasant. Both of them being proud people, naturally could not stand this kind of seemingly well-intentioned mockery.

Fang Tian Divine Fist took a deep breath and held back from making a move.

His goal was the Divine Physique Hall. If he fought with Peng Canghai, even if he won, his injuries would only become more severe.

"He's putting on too much of an act! If my big brother were here, he'd definitely make him kneel and cry!"

Ren Wokuang snorted coldly, trying to regain some face for himself, but no one paid him any attention.

Su Yie turned to Han Yuandao and asked, "Aren't you very strong? Can you bear this?"

Han Yuandao, feigning a profound and inscrutable manner, laughed and said, "It's not worth it; he might become our helper."

"What do you mean?" Su Yie asked curiously.

Han Yuandao seemed to be proficient in divination, able to foresee some events.

"You'll know later."

Han Yuandao smiled faintly and then sat down on the spot to rest and meditate, no longer paying any attention to Su Yie.

"Tch!"

Ren Wokuang huffed disdainfully. If Li Huahun were here, he would definitely hang Han Yuandao up and beat him; he hated this kind of roundabout person the most.

The four continued to rest. Since Peng Canghai traversed the river against the current on his blade, no one else passed by this place, not even monsters.

Su Yie's Demon Qi was enough to deter most monsters, preventing them from daring to come close.

After resting for an hour, the four continued along the great river.

Their flying speed was very fast, but they did not encounter Peng Canghai again.

According to what Han Yuandao said, Peng Canghai was likely heading to the Chu Empire.

Blade Master and Sword Saint were similar, both loving the challenge of the strong. Recently, the Overlord of Western Chu had risen to fame in the Chu Empire, so he was naturally interested.

Three days later.

Su Yie and the three others were still flying through the air.

Within Emperor Su's Sect, the Overlord of Western Chu suddenly spoke up.

Overlord of Western Chu, "I just defeated a guy known as Blade Master. Do any of you know him?"

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi, "You defeated Peng Canghai?"

Ren Wokuang, "You're not bluffing, are you?"

Overlord of Western Chu, "Does this king need to bluff? I lay down my words here, whoever disagrees can come find this king at the Chu Empire along the Mandong River any time, and this king will oblige!"

Venerable Xuanyuan, "Kid, you're quite arrogant."

Li Huahun, "You just wait."

...

Su Yie came to a sudden realization, Peng Canghai's journey on the blade against the current was to challenge the Overlord of Western Chu.

Such an arrogant person has been defeated!

Listening to the tone of the Overlord of Western Chu, it was obviously an easy win.

However, this guy is too arrogant and has already caught the attention of Li Huahun, probably to be taught a lesson.

There is also another possibility, that Li Huahun is no match for the Overlord of Western Chu and ends up being taught a lesson instead.

"Hahaha——"

Ren Wokuang suddenly burst into loud laughter, startling Su Yie, Han Yuandao, and Fang Tian Divine Fist, who all turned to look at him.

Crazy?

Ren Wokuang gave Su Yie a meaningful look, the kind that says you know what I mean.

Su Yie speechless, turned his head away, not bothering to pay him any attention.

Han Yuandao and Fang Tian Divine Fist exchanged glances, both feeling bewildered.

The four continued on their way.

Two more days passed.

They finally saw the Mandong River.

At the end of the river, behind two mountain peaks, the river surface suddenly expanded, with a diameter of a thousand zhang. By modern distance calculations, that's equivalent to more than three thousand meters. The farther forward, the wider the river became, resembling a vast ocean.

It was indeed the Mandong River!

At this moment, on the banks of the Mandong River, thousands of cultivators had gathered together. Facing the Mandong River, they sat on the ground, each discussing among themselves. From their attire, it was evident they did not all come from the same sect.

"True Dragons are about to appear!"

"It's said that this White Dragon has cultivated for a hundred years and has reached the Astral Projection Realm, with exceptional talent!"

"It's already challenging for members of the Demon Clan to cultivate, to reach the Astral Projection Realm within a hundred years is indeed quite impressive."

"Tsk, will it really come out?"

"The personage from the Divine Physique Hall shouldn't deceive us."

The murmurs of the cultivators reached the ears of the four from afar.

When they heard the three words 'Divine Physique Hall', their expressions all turned solemn.

"It appears there is a branch of the Divine Physique Hall here."

Han Yuandao said meaningfully, his gaze flicking toward Su Yie, waiting for his arrangements.

Both he and Fang Tian Divine Fist had placed their hopes on Su Yie, so they were willing to follow his decisions.

"Let's take down this branch first and leave a message, telling the Divine Physique Hall we are coming for them, so there's no need for them to go to the Bailing Territory."

Su Yie said solemnly, his main goal was to recruit new people into the sect, while also raiding the branch of the Divine Physique Hall.

"I like it!"

Ren Wokuang grinned and spoke up. He had been bored on the way, and now finally something exciting was going to happen.

Soon, the four of them landed on the riverbank.

Su Yie's Demon Qi caused tens of thousands of cultivators to turn their heads and look over, all of them on alert.

The four ignored those unusual gazes, waiting for the Divine Physique Hall to make their appearance.

Most of the cultivator's Cultivation on the bank was within the realm where they hugged the pill into the law realm, and few had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, so they weren't afraid of Su Yie.

Approximately four hours passed.

As night fell, a high-pitched dragon's roar suddenly came from within the Mandong River.
