Chapter 41 Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands
"Hmm, dead."
Su Yie nodded with a calm expression. He didn't reveal that he was the one who killed the Bat Empress. Although doing so would have made him look impressive, it would have also brought greater danger.
Looking around at the monsters exchanging glances, he got straight to the point, "The Land of Qiling is being watched by various powers recently. Staying here will be dangerous sooner or later. The frequency of wars breaking out recently—you don't need me to tell you, right?"
"If you're willing to follow me, let's leave now. In return for my protection, you will serve me!"
"If you're not willing, I won't force you."
"I'll count down from ten. When I'm done, I'll leave. Whoever wants to follow me, come along!"
"Ten!"
Su Yie started the countdown, leaving Nan Xiaopao feeling dazzled. She felt that Su Yie had changed a lot, providing a sense of security during battle, and displaying an overwhelming domineering presence while subduing the monsters.
Indeed, he was the man she had set her sights on!
Her judgment was spot on!
The monsters immediately began to stir, and the Purple Back Bear King's eyes flickered with hesitation.
He didn't want to leave the Land of Qiling, but too many powerful beings had recently come to the Land of Qiling, even Elder Lord Qi Yang had fled.
Regarding Elder Lord Qi Yang, he understood better than anyone that unless absolutely necessary, Elder Lord Qi Yang wouldn't have run away.
Quickly, Su Yie finished counting down. Then, picking up Nan Xiaopao, he leaped forward, landing behind the crowd of monsters and walked toward the edge of the grassland.
Seeing this, the Purple Back Bear King clenched his teeth and shouted, "My children, follow me! Staying here is a dead end!"
As he spoke, he began moving forward, and the monsters dared not stop him, making way for him.
Under the Purple Back Bear King's leadership, many monsters immediately followed.
Although Su Yie didn't look back, he couldn't help but smile upon hearing the Purple Back Bear King's words.
This demon has potential!
Nan Xiaopao kept glancing back every three steps, counting how many monsters were following Su Yie.
Su Yie kept walking, his eyes closed, wanting to see the reaction of Emperor Su's Sect.
The next second, a surprised expression appeared on his face, but he quickly concealed it.
Invite any of the following beings to join Emperor Su's Sect:
Wei Niantian!
Mo Jiuqing!
Tang Qingtian!
Li Huahun!
Blade Demon Luo Zhenhai!
Master Li Min!
...
Another twenty or so names appeared, causing Su Yie to hesitate.
Apart from a few familiar names, there were many new ones that seemed very impressive.
Unfortunately, he couldn't switch screens; otherwise, he could have asked the members of Emperor Su's Sect.
It seemed that in the future he needed to know more about the powerhouses of the Ancient Wilderness.
Hopefully, he hadn't missed any outstanding powerhouses before, and he hoped he wouldn't regret it later.
Eventually, he chose the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands.
It was time for the Demon Clan within Emperor Su's Sect to increase their numbers, or they would always be suppressed. Moreover, he was about to venture into Demon Race territory and might find the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands useful.
Serpents are inherently strong!
Perhaps one day it can transform into a dragon!
Immediately following, the scene in his mind changed:
Emperor Su invites the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands to join Emperor Su's Sect!
Black Tiger Emperor: Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands! Finally, a big shot has come to our Demon Clan!
Demon Wolf Star: Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands? The notorious monster that's rumored to have eaten a dragon?
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: I've heard of him, we should spar if there's a chance.
Elder Lord Qi Yang: Oh, peerless Demon King, a towering figure of our Demon Clan, hahaha, I am fortunate for three lifetimes!
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: Who are you? Why are you in my mind?
For a time, members of Emperor Su's Sect surfaced one after another, taking just moments to tally up.
Su Yie opened his eyes, secretly delighted, it seemed the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands had not chosen wrongly!
Meanwhile, the number of monsters following him increased more and more, already surpassing a thousand.
Monsters also seek the protection of the strong, otherwise, in the survival of the fittest of the Ancient Wilderness, it's difficult to survive.
The Purple Back Bear King hurried over to Su Yie's side, rubbing his hands together and chuckling, "Great King, this is my first time leaving the Land of Qiling, you must treat me well!"
Su Yie nodded and said, "Don't worry, follow me, and you'll get stronger in the future, you won't regret it!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on the Purple Back Bear King's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
He looked at Nan Xiaopao and asked, "Is this the Great King's woman? From now on, let's call her the Queen. I see that the Great King is extremely powerful, one day he'll surely create a vast Demon Race Kingdom!"
Queen?
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaopao's eyes lit up, she immediately clapped and said, "You, Bear Demon, have a way with words, not bad, not bad!"
"Of course, the Queen is so beautiful, only the Great King is worthy of you—a match made by heaven and earth!"
"Absolutely!"
"Not only that, the Queen is also very generous, clearly a wise and virtuous partner!"
"Hmm, don't stop..."
"..."
The Purple Back Bear King's mouth twitched as he continued to flatter endlessly, to Nan Xiaopao's growing delight.
Su Yie shook his head with a smile, then closed his eyes again to observe the chat within the Emperor Su's Sect.
At that moment, the Black Tiger Emperor was introducing the rules of joining Emperor Su's Sect to the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands, while the Demon Wolf Star was extolling the might of the Divine Shadow Legion, boasting about Emperor Su to the skies.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: If what you say is true, then in this world, no one could stand against Emperor Su.
Black Tiger Emperor: Indeed, Emperor Su is not an entity of this realm, he might be an Immortal God.
Demon Wolf Star: Emperor Su could kill us with just a thought!
Elder Lord Qi Yang: Not just that, whether someone lives or dies is all within a single thought of Emperor Su.
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: Can you pull back on the exaggeration?
Su Yie watched speechlessly. It seemed the pressure from the Great Dao Communication Device really had scared the members of Emperor Su's Sect into deep belief in Emperor Su's overwhelming power.
Seeing that the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands was still unwilling to hand over the resources for joining the sect, Su Yie had to speak up. He stirred up his emotions and put on an angry facade.
Emperor Su: It's time to hand over the resources for joining the sect. From now on, you must not reveal the existence of Emperor Su's Sect nor fight with its members. Anyone who lets me find out will be eradicated by me!
Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands: This pressure... how is it possible...
Black Tiger Emperor: Emperor Su! We will absolutely obey! Please withdraw the pressure!
Demon Lord Qing Yan: Stop it! I'm in the middle of a life or death duel...
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Emperor Su, please calm down...
...
All the members of Emperor Su's Sect were in agony, but Su Yie did not make it hard for them, quickly reining in his emotions to let them all recover.
At this moment, Su Yie found himself holding a black robe in his hands, covered with black serpent scales and possessing a metallic sheen.
It was the gift from the Serpent King of the Eastern Marshlands, named the Black Jiao King Robe, embedded with a layer of restrictions that could withstand attacks and inherently exert Serpent King's pressure.
As soon as this black robe appeared, both Nan Xiaopao and the Purple Back Bear King's attention was drawn.
"Is this... a vestment robe?"
The Purple Back Bear King's eyes widened. He had spent the first half of his life in the Land of Qiling and had only ever seen a vestment robe on Elder Lord Qi Yang.
Su Yie immediately draped the Black Jiao King Robe over himself, and in an instant, his demeanor transformed. The demons following him looked at his silhouette, feeling an inexplicable sense of awe.
"It fits very well!"
Su Yie smiled in satisfaction, Nan Xiaopao complimented, "Very handsome, but it would be even better if your hair was a bit longer."
"It will grow in the future."
Su Yie smiled at her, then turned to look back. With a single glance, the number of following demons had already surpassed three thousand.
