Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 616: The Undercurrent beneath the Calm
Having come to the side of Wu Qingyao, Su Lingding, and Qing Jushi, Su Yie did not reveal his identity as the Tai Su Celestial Lord.
The Tai Su Sword Lord had warned that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
That included the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers.
Qi Taxing, Sun Qitian, and the Desolate Martial God also kept the matter to themselves, whether it was because of the Tai Su Celestial Lord's threats or some other reason.
Su Yie did not harbor any grudges, within Emperor Su's Sect, no one could remain completely honest, not even him.
As long as it did not endanger Emperor Su's Sect, it was acceptable.
"Before The Gate of Misfortune is suppressed, you should stay here and cultivate,"
The Tai Su Sword Lord dropped this statement and left, taking not only herself but also Qing Jushi with her.
"Su Yie, this Great Emperor has high hopes for you... You must..."
Qing Jushi's words were cut off before he could finish, and he disappeared.
Su Yie had no complaints about staying here; the Spiritual Energy of this Grand World was incredibly rich, ideal for cultivation.
Currently, his realm was at the Manifesting Saint Complete Realm, still far from achieving Path of Testimony.
As for what specifically he lacked, he could not quite pinpoint.
...
Time sped by, and half a year passed in a hurry.
During this half-year, the Tai Su Celestial Lord never appeared, while the Tai Su Sword Lord did appear several times, providing guidance in cultivation to both Su Yie and Wu Qingyao.
The annual Divine Sect Upgrade opportunity came once again.
After some hesitation, Su Yie decided to bypass Ren Wokuang and the others, offering the opportunity to Yue Qinglong.
In the early days of Emperor Su's Sect, Yue Qinglong had once been the strongest, and his merits could not be buried.
Ultimately, Yue Qinglong chose the Divine Shadow of the Sovereign of the Grand and Mysterious Heavens, stunning the entire sect!
This was considered the strongest level of cultivation ever drawn in a Divine Sect Upgrade thus far.
To most members of Emperor Su's Sect, the Sovereign of the Grand and Mysterious Heavens was considered a bit stronger than the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Of course, who truly was the stronger of the two remained unknown.
Following Yue Qinglong's rise, the power of Emperor Su's Sect strengthened further.
Another half-month went by.
The Ancestral God Emperor Zhao sought support from the Divine Shadow of Emperor Su, as there were conflicts in the Shadow Realm as well, reportedly involving ten great Divine Dynasties, each fighting for supremacy.
This confirmed the old saying that wherever there are people, there will be strife.
At the same time, Demon Lord Qing Yan, the Piercing Arm Monkey, Overlord Luo Fu, and Xiahou Jinxuan were becoming increasingly renowned throughout Chaos.
Under the name of Emperor Su's Sect, they dominated their respective territories, striking terror throughout Chaos.
Even the rulers of the Chaos Imperial Clan tried to curry favor with them.
The leader of the Chaos Imperial Clan, Immortal Tai Yi, was clever enough to know that it was impossible to uproot Emperor Su's Sect completely, so he attempted to win over the people of Emperor Su's Sect.
Unfortunately, these four powerhouses of Emperor Su's Sect were the sect's old guard and did not give them any respect.
One day.
A grand event in the Dugu Universe suddenly became the topic of conversation within Emperor Su's Sect.
The Dugu Universe, a relatively strong Great Dao Plane, was governed by the father of Dugu Heavenly Clan.
The Dugu Heavenly Clan always thought about revenge and usurping the position of Saint Lord of the Dugu Universe, but he hadn't asked for the help of Emperor Su's Sect, wanting to rely on himself.
Imperial Deathstroke: Tsk, tsk, dare the Dugu Universe stir up trouble this time? In the past, every grand event was widely publicized.
Xiahou Jinxuan: The dead should not worry about these things.
Sage Tathagata: The arrival of Emperor Su's Sect has already changed much in Chaos.
Imperial Deathstroke: Wait until I revive, you'll be the first I trouble!
Tang Qingtian: Xiahou Jinxuan! Don't get cocky, once I revive and undergo the Divine Sect Upgrade, and if I draw the cultivation of sister Wang Buqi, you're done for!
Wuchang Ghost Emperor: So much drama in little old Chaos, huh?
Sovereign of the Blazing Flames: Besides the Dugu Universe, don't you think that Chaos has been eerily quiet lately?
...
After Sovereign of the Blazing Flames raised the alarm, everyone in Emperor Su's Sect suddenly became tense.
Since the grand battle in the Land of Reincarnation, Emperor Su's Sect had encountered no troubles.
Eleven years now, eerily calm.
As if something significant was brewing in the shadows.
Su Yie also felt something was amiss; the upheaval in the Land of Reincarnation was monumental, and he didn't believe the Hongmeng Divine Spirits were unaware — why had they taken no action?
Could the Hongmeng Divine Spirits be plotting something?
"Wait a minute!"
Su Yie suddenly thought of something and abruptly stood up.
Next to him, Wu Qingyao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Tai Su Celestial Lord is biding his time. With the capabilities of the Hongmeng Divine Spirits, they would have already subdued The Gate of Misfortune."
Su Yie said solemnly, causing Wu Qingyao to widen her beautiful eyes.
She quickly connected all the events that had happened, and immediately understood what Su Yie meant.
"Could it be related to the Land of Reincarnation?"
Wu Qingyao asked in a low voice.
She remembered that this Little World was inside the body of Tai Su Celestial Lord.
"I'm not sure, but the Hongmeng Divine Spirits, vying for power and profit, wouldn't allow Emperor Su's Sect to develop indefinitely."
Su Yie said softly, his gaze sweeping in all directions.
He and Wu Qingyao could teleport away, but Su Lingding could not.
With their level of cultivation, they couldn't just force their way out either.
"Don't worry, the Heavenly Monarch won't harm you, he's just having you wait here."
Just then, Tai Su Sword Lord suddenly appeared, speaking gently.
As if comforting a child.
Su Yie turned around, glaring coldly at Tai Su Sword Lord, and asked, "Are you spying on us?"
"Also, do you plan to betray Emperor Su's Sect?"
The two pressing questions turned Tai Su Sword Lord's face pale.
She hurriedly explained, "Not at all, it's just that Emperor Su's Sect's prominence has drawn the attention of all Hongmeng Divine Spirits. They intend to suppress Emperor Su's Sect, and the Heavenly Monarch doesn't want you to get hurt, that's why you're kept here."
Suppressing Emperor Su's Sect together?
Su Yie's face changed slightly. If it were just him, Su Yie, that would be one thing.
But he was the leader of Emperor Su's Sect, Emperor Su!
Suppressing Emperor Su's Sect was the same as suppressing him!
He said gravely, "If I leave, can you ensure my daughter's safety?"
Upon hearing this, Tai Su Sword Lord quickly tried to prevent him from leaving, "The Heavenly Monarch would never harm you or your daughter, but please don't go outside. The Divine Spirits have summoned a terrifying being. Your life would be in danger if you went out, and besides, the Heavenly Monarch has promised, it's only suppression, not extermination."
Su Yie cast a deep glance at Tai Su Sword Lord.
Tai Su Sword Lord had been kind to him, but this act was a betrayal of Emperor Su's Sect!
Su Yie said nothing and sat down cross-legged.
"Can Emperor Su's Sect shake the Hongmeng Divine Spirits now?"
Su Yie asked inwardly, obviously directing the question to the Great Dao Communication Device.
The Great Dao Communication Device was sentient, yet not fully independent, feeling somewhat like a computer system.
"No, the strongest in Emperor Su's Sect, Wang Buqi, has an insurmountable gap compared to the Hongmeng Divine Spirits."
Facing this answer, Su Yie's heart sank.

This time, Emperor Su's Sect was not facing a single Hongmeng Divine Spirit, but all Hongmeng Divine Spirits!
An unprecedented calamity was about to arrive!
Seeing Su Yie fall silent, Tai Su Sword Lord thought he was sulking, sighed softly, and then pulled Wu Qingyao and Su Lingding to one side, starting to persuade them.
Wu Qingyao's face was expressionless. Both publicly and privately, she would stand by Su Yie's side.
Without Emperor Su's Sect, she probably would have died in the chaos of the Seven Dynasties long ago.
