Chapter 92 The Name of the Demon Lord
After much contemplation, Su Yie decided to hesitate about Wei Niantian, Yue Qinglong, and Corpse Ghost King Xue Li.
The other names were too vague, their strengths unknown.
Although Blade Master Peng Canghai was strong, Xia Tianyi had been kind to him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Xia Tianyi.
With Shangguan Wuji and Demon Lord Qing Yan already in the Demon Sect, adding Wei Niantian might fuel the sect's rampant growth, and even result in them conspiring in secret.
Yue Qinglong, as Xiang Yu mentioned, was like an undying existence, neither human nor demon could be determined, nor even his strength.
In the end, Su Yie decided to choose Corpse Ghost King Xue Li, because Emperor Su's Sect had recently mentioned this name, and it was said that north of the Seven Dynasties, there was a city massacred by Yin Corpses, a most tragic event, and they speculated Xue Li was behind it.
Furthermore, zombies or ghosts are considered a new race, independent of humans, demons, and devils.
Within Emperor Su's Sect.
Emperor Su invites Corpse Ghost King Xue Li to join Emperor Su's Sect!
Demon Wolf Star: Xue Li? Damn! How did this thing get here!
Wu Qingyao: The Corpse Ghost King has also arrived… Emperor Su's thoughts are difficult to fathom.
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: Tsk tsk, is this gathering the strong from all races and all ways?
Corpse Ghost King Xue Li: Who are you? Why are there words appearing in my mind?
Wuu You: Xue Li, do you still remember me?
Corpse Ghost King Xue Li: Weren't you dead? I even wanted to refine your body into a Corpse King.
...
Turns out, Xue Li and Wuu You were once good friends, but unfortunately, Xue Li took the path of necromancy, fell into wicked ways, and became enemies with Wuu You.
With the addition of Xue Li, Emperor Su's Sect came alive, but powerhouses like Overlord Luo Fu, Xia Tianyi, Shangguan Wuji, and Ling Sang seemed rather indifferent to him.
Necromancy is certainly the most repugnant existence.
Respecting the dead is paramount, and grave-digging is the most condemnable and irrational act.
The new member orientation officer, Black Tiger Emperor, logged in again, and Xue Li obediently handed over the resources for joining the sect.
The joining process has become quite substantial, and upon seeing the names of those speaking, Xue Li didn't dare to act rashly.
He may be wild, but he does not believe that he can beat top-level powerhouses like Overlord Luo Fu, Xia Tianyi, Shangguan Wuji, and others.
The treasure he offered up was actually a worm.
Named Corpse-Driving Worm, it can expel all Yin Corpses below Grade Five.
Just like Magic Artifacts, Yin Corpses are also categorized by levels, with Grade Five Yin Corpses equivalent to Nascent Soul Cultivators or Condensed Spirit Demon Kings.
Housed in a wooden cup, Su Yie quickly placed the worm into the Repository of the Dao.
Walking through the woods, Su Yie and Xiang Yu were one after the other, Su Yie's Demon Qi so strong that it kept the monsters from coming close.
Next, he would go directly to Great Wei.
He was also curious to see just how prosperous the Seven Dynasties really were.
Meanwhile, news of the Evil Bat Demon's slaying by the Demon Lord had spread, shocking all quarters.
The Bailing Territory was exhilarated, and the Seven Dynasties breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the Evil Bat Demon had been eyeing them covetously.
"The Demon Lord has actually killed the Evil Bat Demon! He's truly a fiend demon!"

"Just a few months? First the Demon Emperor, now the Evil Bat Demon!"
"Tsk tsk, the people from Mystical City are indeed extraordinary."
"The rise of the Demon Lord is not a good thing, carefully looking at the Demon Lord's record, this guy is more domineering than anyone."
"With internal turmoil in the Seven Dynasties, the Demon Lord is essentially helping us."
Within the Seven Dynasties, discussion of this matter abounded, ensuring that Su Yie's name was once again spread throughout the Seven Dynasties. The news reaching Xiwan City and the Qingyi Sect, even lifting the spirits of Earthlings.
The most excited probably belonged to the Bailing Territory, where all monsters felt a sense of glory.
More and more Demon Kings began to send envoys to Yaojian Mountain, offering their allegiance.
Soon, the influence of Yaojian Mountain began to swell.
This news also sparked a heated debate within Emperor Su's Sect.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: Damn, the Evil Bat Demon just asked me for support, and now he's dead. Lucky I didn't go.
Black Tiger Emperor: Hahaha, the Demon Lord must have used the Divine Shadow Legion.
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: This young man has a good nature, and he's extremely intelligent, he will achieve greatness in the future.
Elder Lord Qi Yang: Alas, this kid is growing too fast. No wonder Emperor Su values him so much.
Ling Sang: Oh? Does the Demon Lord have some relation to Emperor Su?
Li Zuxuan: Why does not Emperor Su invite the Demon Lord to join his Sect?
...
Su Yi watched the chatroom of Emperor Su's Sect, feeling secretly thrilled.
Watching stealthily, the feeling of being deeply hidden in skill and name was truly exhilarating!
Keep on praising, and please, do not stop!
Xiang Yu followed Su Yi, and seeing him snicker, she couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what are you laughing at?"
She had gotten used to calling Su Yi 'Young Master,' for calling him a great king felt too incongruous due to his young age.
Su Yi quickly repressed his smile, opened his eyes, and said indifferently, "I'm not laughing at anything."
Five days had passed since the death of the Evil Bat Demon.
They were now approaching the borders of Great Wei.
They walked through the mountain forests, surrounded by a thick mist. Having flown for a day, Su Yi needed to recover his demonic power, so he proceeded on foot.
"The Yin Qi here is so heavy."
Xiang Yu suddenly furrowed her brows and said, watching their surroundings with vigilance.
Su Yi found that although her cultivation was weak, she was well-read. She could answer many questions about the Ancient Wilderness and wasn't just a pretty face.
"With you here, of course the Yin Qi is heavy," Su Yi replied softly.
He didn't feel any dangerous aura, so he wasn't panicked.
Besides, this place was on the edge of the Bailing Territory. What was there for him to fear?
This was his turf!
Xiang Yu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said with annoyance, "I meant the Yin Sha Qi."
Ting ting ting—
Just then, a jingling of bells sounded, causing Su Yi and Xiang Yu to halt.
From the thick fog behind them, shadowy figures emerged, swaying as they approached.
Su Yi glanced sideways, his eyebrows slightly knitting.
Xiang Yu, however, paled with fright and said urgently, "They're Yin Corpses! No wonder the Yin Qi is so heavy here!"
Yin Corpses?
Su Yi's brows relaxed; he had corpse-controlling bugs in his possession and was not afraid of Yin Corpses.
But why were Yin Corpses appearing here?
Could it be...
Whoosh—
A cold wind swept through, and a ghostly figure flashed past Su Yi.
His skin was pale, his hair grey and unkept, and his facial features sharp and pronounced. His face was covered in many blood vessels, his eyes cold. He wore tattered purple clothes, his body entwined with an iron chain, and in his right hand, he held a bronze bell ringer.
Xiang Yu gasped in surprise, instinctively moving closer to Su Yi.
Su Yi's expression remained calm as he stared at the figure that stopped twenty meters ahead of them.
He slowly turned around, facing Su Yi, and said, "Your vitality is so strong, and you're only a Divine Skill Demon King. Could it be that you are the Demon Lord?"
Su Yi countered, "And who might you be?"
"Me? Others call me the Corpse Ghost King,"
the man answered, his face grim and icy like a ferocious ghost!
Corpse Ghost King Xue Li!
Xiang Yu covered her mouth with her hand in shock—it was the notorious Millennium Corpse King!
Su Yi showed no surprise and asked calmly, "What do you want with me?"
"Just passing by. Felt your strong life force and came over for a look,"
Xue Li sized up Su Yi, nodding, "You are indeed very impressive, but..."
"But what?"
As Su Yi did not sense any murderous intent from him, he wasn't anxious. Moreover, he could eliminate Xue Li within Emperor Su's Sect if necessary.
