Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 51 The Black Tiger Emperor Attacks

"Really bowing down in submission? I'm sure you have ulterior motives!"

The Purple Back Bear King stared at the Crimson Flame Lion King and asked angrily. Although the other was one Great Realm above him, this was Yaojian Mountain, and he wasn't afraid at all.

The Crimson Flame Lion King was not annoyed but smiled and said, "Where is the Monster Lord?"

He hadn't transformed, so he looked even more domineering.

Not all monsters like to transform. They can also retain their original appearance, but transforming into human form makes it easier to cultivate or sneak into the Human Clan to hunt.

The Crimson Flame Lion King was one of those monsters who preferred their original form.

Just as the Purple Back Bear King was about to continue speaking, Su Yie landed in front of him.

Su Yie, clad in the Black Jiao King Robe, emanated an indescribable domineering aura, particularly from his eyes, which made the monsters dare not meet his gaze.

The Crimson Flame Lion King sized up Su Yie and said, "Monster Lord, are you willing to take us in?"

Su Yie looked at him sideways and calmly asked, "Give me a reason."

"You are very strong."

The words of the Crimson Flame Lion King seemed like flattery, but they were said seriously.

Having slain the Three-Headed Ghost King and Dong Fangjue, the fame of the Yaojian Mountain Monster Lord had spread throughout the Bailing Territory, causing many monsters to admire him.

A smile curled on Su Yie's lips as he said, "Fight me and let me see your strength!"

As these words were uttered, the Crimson Flame Lion King's eyes changed.

If Su Yie defeated him, his subordinates would undoubtedly admire Su Yie even more and increase his ability to intimidate the Lion King.

But if he refused to fight, it would cause his subordinates to look down on him.

Su Yie flipped his hand and pulled out the Zhou Wu Sword, pointing it at the Crimson Flame Lion King, and smiled, "You are very mighty. If you perform well, I might let you be my mount!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stomped his foot, causing the earth to collapse and grass clippings to fly, frightening the monsters from both sides into a mutual retreat.

The Crimson Flame Lion King took a deep breath and said, "Good!"

He was infuriated. Su Yie actually wanted to make him a mount.

It was downright humiliating!

"Come on!"

Su Yie beckoned and at his call, the Crimson Flame Lion King didn't hold back, charging at Su Yie instantly. Like Mount Tai bearing down upon him, if Su Yie didn't dodge, he would likely be crushed into a pancake.

Just then, instead of retreating, Su Yie advanced, stepping with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps. He dashed beneath the giant body of the Crimson Flame Lion King and leapt up with a punch.

The Crimson Flame Lion King, overwhelmed by Su Yie's strength, answered honestly, "Recently, the Demon Emperor of Sunset Ravine convened all the Demon Kings of the Bailing Territory. Many Demon Kings didn't want to go. To resist the Demon Emperor, they have been forming alliances and even expanding their territories, resulting in damage to our land, forcing us to retreat."

Oh?

Su Yie raised an eyebrow. It turned out he wasn't the only one reluctant to comply; other Demon Kings felt the same.

The feast hosted by the Bailing Demon King was akin to a setup for ambush—those who went were more likely to face danger than fortune. Moreover, most of the Demon Kings did not wish to start a war with the Human Clan.

Throughout history, wars between the two races had resulted in innumerable deaths and injuries, and even provided opportunities for other races to rise. The Demon Kings did not want to take such risks.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that guy will come to Yaojian Mountain. By then, you, as our Demon Lord, must avenge me!"

The Crimson Flame Lion King said resentfully, and his subordinates were also filled with indignation, cursing the said Demon King along with him.

"What's his name?"

Su Yie asked casually.

"Black Tiger Emperor—he rules over a Demon Nation by himself, with hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers under his command. He even tore apart Nascent Soul cultivators with his bare hands," informed the Crimson Flame Lion King, a look of fear in his eyes as he mentioned that name.

Black Tiger Emperor!

The Purple Back Bear King, the Wild Elephant Kui, and all the other shape-shifting great demons were moved upon hearing this name, which was as thunderous to these monsters as any other.

His fame was not much less than that of the Bat Empress!

Su Yie's mouth twitched at the thought. Did that buffoon actually have such a deterrent effect?

"Don't worry, I'm here," Su Yie said, waving his hand nonchalantly. To him, the Black Tiger Emperor now held nothing but extreme admiration for Emperor Su, and would not dare go against his wishes.

Seeing Su Yie's full confidence, the Crimson Flame Lion King was overjoyed.

And so, Su Yie began to make arrangements for the Crimson Flame Lion King and his subordinates; two subordinate peaks were more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of monsters.

Meanwhile, the news of the Crimson Flame Lion King's submission to Yaojian Mountain spread throughout the Bailing Territory.

The Demon Lord's meteoric rise to power became increasingly well-known.

One day, Elder Lord Qi Yang suddenly sought help within Emperor Su's Sect.

Elder Lord Qi Yang: Emperor Su, I request support. If you help me through this ordeal, I will dedicate all my possessions to Emperor Su's Sect!

Black Tiger Emperor: What? Got yourself into trouble?

Demon Wolf Star: As long as Emperor Su's Divine Shadow Legion steps out, any enemy must die!

Elder Lord Qi Yang: I've been targeted by the Demon Emperor of Sunset Ravine; my sworn followers were killed in an instant, and I'm currently hiding, not daring to leave my cave...

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Such a useless creature, not fit to join Emperor Su's Sect!
