Soon, four cultivators rode a giant fan to the airspace above the mountain peak.
One of the men, with a goat beard, looked down at Su Yi and asked, "Are you the Half-Demon who killed the Black Scaled King?"
Su Yi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the death of the Black Scaled King had spread far and wide, making him famous by association.
"What's the matter, you have something you want?"
Su Yi fired back, somewhat annoyed by the other party's condescending attitude.
"You saved hundreds of thousands of people, which makes you a hero, so we want to rescue you, to pull you back from the Demon Path,"
said a female cultivator, speaking kindly and making it difficult for one to feel any hostility towards her.
She paused, then continued, "We are the Four Elders of Great Wei. We can help you rid yourself of Demon Techniques, and let you join Great Wei, making you a Grade Four General. All the resources you need for your cultivation, Great Wei will provide."
Great Wei!
One of the Seven Dynasties!
Su Yi was taken aback, having not expected the other party to be from Great Wei.
According to his understanding, among the Seven Dynasties, Great Wei was considered of average strength, boasting many cultivating families and sects under its influence, and it held sway over its territory.
"Really?"
hesitated Su Yi. The reputation of Great Wei among the Human Clan was excellent. Even when Wux Qingyao talked about Great Wei, she did so with great admiration, claiming that the current Monarch of Great Wei was a prodigious talent and that under his rule, Great Wei might surpass Mighty Tang.
The female cultivator smiled and nodded, "Of course, even though Mystical City's origins are unclear, you are all part of the Human Clan, and Great Wei naturally cares about you. We will soon send troops to support you. Even the Black Panther Emperor would not dare to wage war against Great Wei."
Her words brimmed with pride.
The other three elders felt the same, being the Four Elders of Great Wei. Since the founding of Great Wei, they had been born and had witnessed everything about Great Wei. The past Great Wei had been weak, but since the new Monarch took power, Great Wei had developed splendidly, attracting many Immortal Cultivation major sects.
"How can I be certain that if I abandon my current practice and start over, I will become stronger than I am now?"
Su Yi asked cautiously, and he was also questioning the identity of these people.
After all, he had never truly understood the Ancient Wilderness.
"May I examine you?"
asked the goat-bearded cultivator, landing in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi hesitated for a moment, then raised his right hand.
Initially, he chose Demon Techniques out of sheer necessity, being too new to establishing Emperor Su's Sect to demand high-quality Cultivation Techniques.
A human practicing Demon Techniques would earn the disdain of both clans.
The goat-bearded cultivator took hold of Su Yi's wrist, using his Spiritual Power to probe Su Yi's spiritual roots.
On the surface, Su Yi remained calm, but he was ready for battle at any moment, knowing the importance of being cautious.
If anything were to happen, he'd strike down the opposition with the force of a thunderbolt!
After absorbing more than two hundred Demon Cores and with continued practice, he had reached the strength of one hundred and twenty dragons.
"Hmm?"
The goat-bearded cultivator suddenly frowned, and the other three elders gathered around as well.
"He is a Five Elements Extreme Pulse Body!"
"What? Impossible, right? How could it be a Five Elements Extreme Pulse Body?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Don't scare us; this is something we can't afford to be sloppy about!"
The Four Elders of Great Wei seemed to witness something unbelievable and continuously proceeded to check Su Yi's wrist.
Looking at their expressions, Su Yi had a feeling something was amiss.
"It's settled... He really is a Five Elements Extreme Pulse Body, so he can't cultivate?"
The female of the Four Elders of Great Wei looked displeased, her face bearing the lost expression of someone who had misplaced a treasure.
Can't cultivate?
At these words, Su Yi nearly exploded in anger.
I'm obviously a genius, okay?
In recent times, Su Yi's cultivation had been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he had built up a good deal of confidence. And now the Four Elders of Great Wei were telling him that his constitution was unsuitable for cultivation?
Are you kidding me?
Su Yi was speechless. He thought to himself that perhaps their Cultivation Techniques were just poor.
"Well then, he can only practice Demon Techniques,"
sighed the goat-bearded cultivator, his eyes flickering as he suggested, "And what of being a Half-Demon? He could serve as Great Wei's liaison with the Demon Clan."
At this, the other three elders brightened at the prospect.
They came here mainly to enlist Su Yie.
Although Su Yie couldn't cultivate Human Clan cultivation techniques, cultivating Demon techniques was also an option.
Great Wei had always been breaking conventions, so what was wrong with accepting a Half-Demon?
As long as he didn't appear in front of the common people, it would be fine.
Watching the Four Elders of Great Wei getting more and more excited as they talked, Su Yie couldn't help but interrupt, "Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed to go to Great Wei with you yet!"
He was now a Half-Demon. Going to the land of the Human Clan was simply seeking death!
Even if the Four Elders of Great Wei protected him, he would still face all kinds of ostracism.
Hearing this, the Four Elders of Great Wei abruptly turned to look at him.
The Female Cultivator said earnestly, "You killed the Black Scaled King, the Black Panther Emperor won't let you off. The only way for you to survive is to seek refuge with Great Wei. The other six dynasties hate the Demon Clan tremendously, if you encounter them, they will chase you down to kill."
Su Yie slightly curled his lips.
What was Great Wei?
Was it as formidable as Emperor Su's Sect?
Seeing Su Yie unmoved, the Four Elders of Great Wei's expressions turned somewhat ugly.
Although they admired Su Yie for fighting alone against hundreds of thousands of Demons, in the end, Su Yie was a Demon, and they had given him a way to turn back. Yet, he refused?
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Su Yie flipped his hand to take out the Zhou Wu Sword, ready for battle.
Once the Zhou Wu Sword appeared, the Four Elders of Great Wei's eyes widened instantly.
"Zhou… Zhou Wu Sword!"
The cultivator with a goat beard trembled, the four elders retreated in unison, creating distance from Su Yie.
Their gazes towards the Zhou Wu Sword were like looking at a plague god.
"The Four Elders of Great Wei? Interesting, the first-generation Monarch of their Great Wei once tried to subdue me, but I retaliated against him."
At this time, the voice of Sword Soul Fenglong echoed in Su Yie's mind.
Su Yie raised his eyebrows. Oh, there was such a story?
Thinking this, Su Yie deliberately put on a cold face, saying, "You should leave, my sword is quite fond of Great Wei's blood. You wouldn't want to test the edge of the sword, would you?"
Upon hearing this, the Four Elders of Great Wei's faces turned ashen.
Intimidated by Su Yie in such a manner, they were naturally angry, but also wary of the Zhou Wu Sword.
"Su Yie, one last piece of advice for you. Soon, the Monarch of the Western Buddha Dynasty will send a large army here. They hate Demons the most. You had better think carefully, or else leave this place, otherwise, you will regret it," said the only Female Cultivator among the Four Elders of Great Wei. Having said this, they turned around and flew towards Xiwan City.
The Western Buddha Dynasty?
Su Yie frowned, sinking into deep thought.
Two of the seven Human Clans dynasties had already set their sights on Xiwan City. For him, who cultivated Demon Techniques, this was not good.
"No! I can't just sit and wait for death!"
Su Yie's eyes flickered. Having encountered the Black Scaled King and Elder Lord Qi Yang, he had developed an ambition.
Now that the Four Elders of Great Wei had discovered that he had the Five Elements Extreme Pulse Body, this ambition began to swell.
He wanted to be the Demon King!
An unparalleled Great Demon King!
No, that's not it!
Demon King lacked dignity!
If he was to be titled, it would be the Demon Emperor!
Thinking this, Su Yie immediately set out.
The Demon Core was already used up, and compared to absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, cultivating with a Demon Core was much faster!
He moved quickly, running in the opposite direction of Xiwan City, and soon disappeared deep into the forest.
Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, atop Laojun Mountain.
Elder Lord Qi Yang stood at the edge of the cliff, his face covered with dark clouds.
"The Four Elders of Great Wei have also arrived. It seems I can no longer stay here."
He murmured to himself; although he was extremely reluctant, his life was of utmost importance.
But what about Su Yie?
