Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 171 Searching for the Immortal Emperor Peak

Dog?

Su Yie's mouth twitched slightly, this act was...

He didn't even know how to respond.

The Silver-faced Man turned around, his gaze sweeping over Han Yuan and the Piercing Arm Monkey. Feeling his gaze, even the arrogant Piercing Arm Monkey couldn't help but lower its head, not daring to make eye contact.

Despite not emitting any pressure, the Silver-faced Man's every move exuded a transcendent quality, unreachable high above.

"Stepfather, my elder brother was captured by the Nameless Imperial Ancestor, we must hurry to rescue him!"

Ren Wokuang rushed to the Silver-faced Man's side, speaking anxiously.

Even though Li Huahun always bullied him, Li Huahun had never abandoned him in times of danger.

The bond between the brothers was still there.

The Silver-faced Man brushed past him, walking deeper into the forest, casually remarking, "It's his fate to encounter this ordeal, it'll be good to temper his character."

Everyone exchanged glances, then immediately followed his steps.

Ren Wokuang grew even more anxious, saying, "Character can be tempered gradually, but elder brother only has one life!"

"Don't worry, he's still alive. That dog is not willing to kill him yet."

The Silver-faced Man kept walking, as if leading everyone to a certain place.

"Why?"

Ren Wokuang walked beside the Silver-faced Man, asking with confusion.

"He wants to lure that young man behind."

The Silver-faced Man replied, obviously referring to Su Yie.

Su Yie, hearing this, let out a sigh of relief.

He certainly didn't wish for Li Huahun to die because of him.

"Senior, where are we headed?"

Han Yuan couldn't hold back and asked. With the Silver-faced Man's ability, he could easily kill the Nameless Imperial Ancestor. What was he waiting for?

"From now on, you will train separately in Immortal Scorching Ridge. Whoever finds Immortal Emperor Peak first will obtain the Supreme opportunity, just like Xia Xin did, becoming invincible in the Eastern Lands."

The Silver-faced Man said without turning his head, his figure graceful as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard.

Xia Xin!

Han Yuan's face changed dramatically, and Su Yie's eyebrows also raised involuntarily.

Xia Xin, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, later revered as Ancestor Xia.

"Senior, was it you who gave Ancestor Xia the Dragon Branch back in the day?"

Han Yuan asked cautiously. What did this imply?

It implied that Ren Wokuang's stepfather had lived even longer than Ancestor Xia.

"Finding Immortal Emperor Peak was his fortune. Now, go on and disperse."

The Silver-faced Man said with a wave of his sleeve, and then, Su Yie and the others felt the scenery around them blur, and they were scattered apart.

By the time Su Yie could see the surroundings clearly, Han Yuan, Ren Wokuang, and the Piercing Arm Monkey had all disappeared, leaving only him and Xiao Bai.

"Master..."

Xiao Bai clung tightly around Su Yie's waist, calling out in a weak voice.

Su Yie didn't pay any attention to it, instead, he took out the Zhou Wu Sword and the Sword of Defeated Grudges.

The moment the Silver-faced Man vanished, he felt an extreme sense of danger coming from all around.

Surrounding him was still the tall forest; the soil underfoot was soft, the grass short, not even tall enough to cover Su Yie's boots.

Immortal Scorching Ridge, one of the eight most dangerous places, filled with innumerable perils.

Legend had it that immortals were burned here, and before they died, they left a curse that would last for eternity, turning this area into the Immortal Scorching Ridge.

"That person just now was very powerful; he might be one of the immortals left behind in the Eastern Lands."

Feng Long suddenly spoke in Su Yie's mind, his words as startling as always.

Immortal?

Su Yie's eyelids twitched. All beings aimed for immortality, seeking eternal life at all costs.

Could Li Huahun's father be an immortal and the master of Immortal Scorching Ridge?

Su Yie took a deep breath. If that were the case, everything would make sense.

If the silver-faced man was an immortal, he could naturally keep watching Su Yie from whatever distance, as distance meant nothing to immortals.

It also explained why Li Huahun was so strong.

Having thought this, Su Yie took out the resources submitted by Murong Invincible and Gui Chouxie.

Murong Invincible had handed over a purple flower with four petals, covered in black particles, bizarre in every respect.

Gui Chouxie submitted a Ghost Sword, a sixth-grade high-rank magical instrument, quite decent. Su Yie could use it to establish the Twelve Demon-Suppressing Earth Fiend Array or the Ten Thousand Sword Jue.

"Could this flower be a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure?"

Su Yie wondered, and shortly after that, the Great Dao Communication Device relayed a message in his mind, roughly indicating that the flower could be used for cultivation and was non-toxic.

It had to be said, the Great Dao Communication Device was becoming increasingly optimized.

Having thought this, Su Yie sat down cross-legged, preparing to absorb the purple flower.

"Immortal Emperor Peak, I must find it."

"Nameless of the Imperial Clan, I must slay you with my own hands."

Su Yie murmured to himself, cradling the purple flower in both hands, his mind stirred as he began to circulate the cultivation spell of the Great Reincarnation Technique.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the purple flower was absorbed into his body, causing him to shiver all over.

Not only that, the nature's spiritual energy in the forest was also gathering towards him.

Within Emperor Su's Sect.

Ren Wokuang: Big brother, you're not dead, right?

Tang Qingtian: What's happened to Grandpa Li?

Li Huahun: I'm still alive.

Overlord Luo Fu: Latest intelligence reports that the Demon Lord and his followers have been defeated. Two of his associates have been captured by the Nameless of the Imperial Clan.

Gong Sunqi, God of Slaughter: The Nameless of the Imperial Clan is too crafty, definitely not going to confront the Divine Shadow Legion head-on.

Murong Invincible: That dog of the Nameless Imperial Ancestor is unworthy of the title of Emperor's descendant, too much of a villain.

Gui Chouxie: Tsk tsk, who knew the Eastern Lands had so many powerful characters converging here? It turns out that Emperor Su's Sect is the true dragon beneath the surface.

...

Only after confirming Li Huahun was really alive could Su Yie settle down to cultivate.

It turned out Li Huahun had his Taoist Fruit shattered by the Nameless Imperial Ancestor and now seemed like a broken man, being transported to the Heavenly Palace.

Fang Tian Divine Fist was also crippled, but his whereabouts were unknown.

Ren Wokuang boasted about his foster father and exposed the whereabouts of Su Yie and the others to the members of Emperor Su's Sect. They started discussing Immortal Scorching Ridge.

The night grew deeper.

The night at Immortal Scorching Ridge was especially terrifying, with various roars echoing one after another, making even Xiao Bai at the Astral Projection Realm uneasy.

Alright, this creature was always timid.

Su Yie safely finished absorbing the purple flower, and his cultivation progressed a step further towards the Astral Projection Realm.

He didn't continue his cultivation but stood up, preparing to search for Immortal Emperor Peak.

But where in the boundless expanse of Immortal Scorching Ridge was Immortal Emperor Peak?

Su Yie suddenly thought of something and took out a roll of sheepskin map.

It was the entry resource of Xiahou Jinxuan.

It contained the secret of how to find Immortal Emperor Peak.

Opening the sheepskin map again, under the night sky, a burst of light flared, illuminating Su Yie's face.

One could see peaks after peaks emerging as silhouettes from the map, depicting the terrain of Immortal Scorching Ridge. Su Yie caught sight of Immortal Emperor Peak in an instant, for it was fiery in the silhouettes, unmistakably conspicuous.

He was on the edge of the projection, with several smaller mountains between him and Immortal Emperor Peak.

"Damn! Is this an immortal cultivation version of a GPS map?"

The corner of Su Yie's mouth twitched. Why had there been no such phenomenon when he previously looked at the sheepskin map?

Could it be because he was now within Immortal Scorching Ridge?

Having thought this, Su Yie began to head towards Immortal Emperor Peak.

As he walked, he pondered the identity of Xiahou Jinxuan.

Could this map have come from the hand of Ancestor Xia?

Throughout ancient and modern times, not many had left Immortal Emperor Peak alive.
