Chapter 376: Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan

Chapter 376: Great Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan

Su Yun's heart seemed to have a knot untied. He had once told Ying Ying that he had seen the light and would not fall into darkness.

But the feeling of being deceived, betrayed, and abandoned was truly uncomfortable. No one wanted to live in a huge lie.

Now, his heart was calm and open.

He couldn't treat Qu Bo and the others as he did before. At that time, he was ignorant and didn't know he was being deceived. He wouldn't stay in Tianmen Town, but in his heart, there was a harbor where Qu Bo and the others lived.

He regarded them as family, but things couldn't go back to the way they were.

Qu Bo and the others felt the same way.

When they sealed the ninety-six gods and demons in the boy's memory, they also created a cage for themselves. Guilt, apology, and the warmth of home formed a small town in the deserted area of Tianmen Town.

Qu Bo and the others might never leave this town.

Su Yun turned back, and the beautiful Tianmen Town was imprinted in his sight. The boy waved his hand and left.

Ying Ying flapped her wings and followed his footsteps.

A few days later, Master Lingyue recovered from his injuries and met Zuo Songyan at the Tianmen Town station. He was recruiting the land-based Candling Dragon to transport troops and said to Su Yun, "I received news that Yu Qingluo, the current head of the Fire Cloud Cave, is leading the elders to give lectures at the Wenchang Academy, improving the old teachings with new ones. We also plan to go and try our luck."

Su Yun couldn't set foot in Yuanshuo, so he had to send the two disciples to the Tianmen Town station and watch them board the land-based Candling Dragon heading to Shuofang.

As the Candling Dragon departed, Hua Hu and Master Lingyue exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Hu smiled and said, "The ancestral treasure is finally in hand!"

"Quiet!"

Master Lingyue quickly said, "The divine immortal thread was refined by Lord Su. He has not yet come to his senses. If he does, with a single thought, he can recall the divine immortal thread!"

The two disciples were nervous and clung tightly to the divine immortal thread, fearing that Su Yun would take it back. Unexpectedly, the land-based Candling Dragon left the Tianmen Town, and the divine immortal thread remained motionless.

Master Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Now that we are far enough away, he no longer has such powerful magic power and can no longer recall the divine immortal thread."

Just as he finished speaking, the divine immortal thread suddenly moved and then flew up with a whoosh, disappearing into the sky!

Master Lingyue and Hua Hu were stunned and stomped their feet, lamenting, "What should we do?"

.

Unexpectedly, the divine immortal thread flew all the way up into the sky and flew towards the outer heavens!

The two disciples looked around in confusion.

"If Lord Su did not recall the divine immortal thread, then who took away this great divine weapon?"

Master Lingyue suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but be shocked, "It's impossible, it's impossible!"

After sending off the two disciples, Su Yun saw Doctor Dong carrying a newly made coffin and reminded him, "Lord, the two disciples did not return your divine immortal thread."

Su Yun said, "I know they wanted to keep the divine immortal thread without my knowledge. The divine immortal thread is a powerful divine weapon that is often rebellious. It was hanged by its previous owner, Master Cen, in his early years. Later, it came into my hands and was often taken away to bind me. I lent it to Master Lingyue, and the divine immortal thread was corrupted by him. I suspect that Master Cen's techniques have flaws, and his Confucian teachings are likely to have conflicting contradictions, which is why the divine immortal thread sometimes rebels against its master."

Doctor Dong thought for a moment and said, "Shouldn't it be because your power is insufficient?"

Su Yun's face darkened.

Doctor Dong looked at his expression and said, "Eat more fruit, Lord, and your face will become whiter." With that, he left the station with the coffin and entered the deserted area of Tianmen Town.

Su Yun raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Do I need to follow you?"

"No need!" Doctor Dong said loudly.

Su Yun said loudly, "Can you reclaim the position of the God King by yourself? Do you need my help?"

Doctor Dong did not answer and walked into the deserted area.

He was going to bury the God of Fire and Virtue and place his grandfather's remains next to his father's tomb. In addition, he had another plan, which was to reclaim the position of the God King!

Su Yun frowned, and at that moment, a gloomy voice came, "So, the little God King has returned."

Beside Su Yun, an old man suddenly appeared, with dry branches growing all around his head, and a strange and gaunt face.

Ying Ying's mind was slightly shaken, and she exclaimed, "The old demon king of the deserted area, the Old Demon King!"

The old man was the other great master of the deserted area, the Old Demon King, a strong man of the original realm of the demon race. Upon hearing this, Ying Ying glanced at him and said with a smile, "The position of the God King of the Qian Heaven was taken from the little God King's hands. Now it's just returning to its original owner. If the Eight Heavenly Generals have any conscience, they will know what to do."

The Old Demon King laughed heartily and said, "Back then, the Nine Heavenly Generals rebelled and took advantage of the old God King's death and the little God King's weak strength to seize the position of the God King. How could they give up this acquired glory and wealth? Moreover, the forces in the deserted area are complex and the geography is strange. In addition to the God King of Qian, there are other forces!"

Ying Ying blinked and said with a smile, "Such as the Old Demon King who occupies half of the deserted area?"

The Old Demon King proudly said, "Yes! Such as me! Master of the Tongtian Pavilion, you should know that the God King of Qian was just a small heavenly general back then. The reason he was able to become the God King was due to the support of Han Jun! He's very powerful! So..."

Ying Ying, perceiving the subtle meaning behind the words, chuckled and said, "Therefore, the master of Tongtian Pavilion must offer you more benefits for you to possibly betray Qian Tianjiang and sell out Han Jun, allowing Doctor Dong to ascend to the throne of the Divine King once again."

The old demon king laughed heartily, "You book monster have hit the nail on the head. Indeed, when the old Divine King ruled this land, I was of low status, doing odd jobs under him. Later, when Tianjiang rebelled, I held out for the highest bidder and suddenly, like a crow turned phoenix, I seized half the territory of the old desolate region. Now, if Dong Tianwang wishes to return as the Divine King, he can't do it without my support! Hence, I demand greater benefits!"

Ying Ying smiled and asked, "So, what benefits do you want?"

"The Eastern Master has become a god, and now there is no great emperor in Tian Shi Yuan. I want to be the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan! With your influence, you have the power to support me as the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan!"

The old demon king made a bold demand, "I can cede the old desolate region to Dong Tianwang, and the territories outside the old desolate region will belong to me. My request isn't too excessive, is it?"

His head crowned with branches, he didn't look at Ying Ying but stared at Su Yun, his gaze sharp and cold as he sneered, "If you don't agree, then I will turn to Han Jun, and he will surely agree! By then, can you imagine how great your loss will be?"

Su Yun had been silent all along, waiting until he had said all that was in his heart before slowly speaking, "What did the old demon king just say? I didn't quite catch it."

The old demon king stared at him, and after a moment, he managed to suppress his anger and said, "If you don't agree, I will turn to Han Jun..."

"Not that sentence."

Su Yun said with a gentle smile, "It should be the one before that."

The old demon king continued to suppress his anger and said, "I can cede the old desolate region to Dong Tianwang, the territories of the old desolate region will belong to..."

Su Yun smiled and said, "The sentence before that."

The old demon king, puffing his beard and glaring, angrily said, "I just said, with your influence, you have the power to support me as the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan! Is it this sentence?"

"Right."

Su Yun's face bore a smile, "That's the one."

Behind him, suddenly, dark clouds appeared, obscuring the sky and the sun. On the wastelands of Tian Shi Yuan, among the mountains and rivers, the treasures within the neglected tombs soared to the heavens, ancient tombs transformed into jade palaces, and the tomb guardians, the mythical beasts, revived one after another. The ghosts and deities from the tombs donned their armor and rode various mythical beasts, rushing towards this side!

Soon, the army of spirits and ghosts that had been buried in this land for five thousand years assembled, arriving behind Su Yun in an overwhelming force.

Among them were saints with unfulfilled wishes, generals who died on the battlefield, emperors who fell here, and Great Scholars who were once renowned.

Some of them were even former masters of the Tongtian Pavilion!

No matter how famous they were in life, they would be forgotten after death, often only able to set up stalls at the Ghost Market on the seventh day of each month, telling their unfulfilled wishes to the young adventurers who came here.

The old demon king's face turned pale as he watched this mighty army of ghosts and deities, his body trembling slightly.

Su Yun stood shoulder to shoulder with the old demon king, looking out over the vast and profound old desolate region, and said indifferently, "Since I have such great influence and power, why should I support you as the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan?"

He raised his right hand and waved towards the direction of the old desolate region. The mythical beasts roared, and the endless army of ghosts and deities charged towards the old desolate region.

Su Yun's expression remained calm as he leisurely said, "Wouldn't it be better if I became the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan myself? Wouldn't it be better if I led the army myself, conquered the old desolate region, swept away all the disobedient gods and demons, and supported Doctor Dong as the Divine King of the old desolate region? What do you think, old demon king?"

The old demon king's face twisted in shock, his body becoming hunched, bowing lower and lower.

Ying Ying watched him with a giggling smile and said, "The old demon king used to be a weathercock, siding with Qian Tianjiang when he was powerful, and with Han Jun when he was powerful. Now, the old demon king surely knows what to do, right?"

The old demon king knelt on one knee and bowed, "The demon king of the old desolate region of Tian Shi Yuan, leading all demon races, welcomes the Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan! The demon races of Tian Shi Yuan are willing to assist His Majesty the Emperor in sweeping away the rebels of the old desolate region!"

Su Yun nodded and said, "The demon races will still be under your management. Prepare to go."

The old demon king stood up and transformed into a gust of demon wind, disappearing.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Ying Ying, Xiao Yao Senior Sister mentioned that she plans to establish a school in Tian Shi Yuan to teach the new learning. Once she has completed her studies and returns, there will be no more obstacles for her school, and no one will trip her up."

Ying Ying, not without pride, laughed, "Because the Emperor of Tian Shi Yuan has already cleared all obstacles for her."

Su Yun sighed and said, "I didn't do it for Senior Sister; I was just worried about unrest in the rear of the righteous army. Leaving Qian Shenwang and the old demon king in the rear is not favorable for Zuo Pushe and Master Shuijing."
