I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 178: The Demon Emperor

Outside the courtyard wall, Su Luo landed on Mu Gu's shoulder, exhaling a cold breath and remaining silent.

"……how's it going?"

Mu Gu naturally couldn't hear the telepathic exchange between Su Luo and Su Jinxi just now, and he's also very curious to know what they were talking about.

Su Luo remained calm and transmitted every single word of what Su Luo had said to Mu Gu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Gu was immediately shocked.

What the hell!

That seemingly ordinary "ordinary" young man in his perception was actually a reclusive powerhouse! How could someone so strong remain so low-key?

Mu Gu couldn't help but praise Su Luo's method of "quietly sneaking into the village, meowing and not wanting to."

Fortunately, they didn't use his method—which was to directly attack and flatten Yunling City, a small place, and then force Su Jinxi out.

That was definitely a bad idea.

Thankfully, I didn't do that.

He didn't want to be skinned alive, made into a rug, and then trampled on by humans every day.

Seeing the lingering fear on his face, Su Luo's lips twitched, and she felt quite helpless. After all, even Su Jinxi was completely obedient to that human youth, as docile as could be. If she were to attack the two of them...

Could they withstand five attacks from those humans combined?

This doesn't seem right. "What do we do now?"

"If this unknown reclusive expert continues to stay in Yunling City, wouldn't His Majesty the Demon Emperor be forced to march his army and collide head-on with him?"

Mu Gu's ideas and Su Luo's ideas were very similar.

Actually, she's different from Su Luo.

Mu Gu wasn't particularly pessimistic about the Demon Emperor's "grand ambitions," but he didn't have high hopes either.

The difference between humans and demons is simply too great!

The Xuan Tian Realm is vast, yet nearly 70% of its territory is controlled by humans. The remaining 20% ​​is extremely chaotic, unclaimed land, where no one can do anything about it. The Demon Realm, at best, only accounts for 10%...

With more fertile spiritual land, there will be more resources, and more powerful individuals can be cultivated.

In the ancient times, humans were roughly equal to demons, with a 3:7 ratio.

In the primordial era, there were no rules or laws in the world. All kinds of creatures were engaged in bloody infighting for power. At that time, the human population was not particularly large.

But things are different now.

The demon race is declining, while humanity is at its zenith and unshakeable.

To say what advantages the demon race has.

That's why humans are particularly prone to infighting and never unite.

Although the demon race also has internal strife, when it comes to such important matters as "living space," they can naturally distinguish what is more important.

Humans just can't figure it out.

When the Demon King of the past seized this opportunity to expand his territory, humans were still wary and distrustful of each other, even stabbing one another in the back. As a result, they panicked when faced with the demon army...

Human territory is so vast that even if some of it is lost to the demon race, it would be of little consequence.

"What else can we do? We can only go back and report to His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Su Luo sighed.

He had to tell the Demon King about the existence of the Gu Family Medical Clinic in Yunling City.

Otherwise, if the Demon King didn't know about this, and his great cause ended up collapsing under the walls of Cloud Spirit City... would they still have any good outcome?

"But what about Su Jinxi?"

"I asked Mu Gu."

"...This is something Your Majesty the Demon Emperor doesn't need to know."

Su Luo thought for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said.

"You're going to keep it a secret from His Majesty the Demon Emperor that she's still alive and has chosen humans as her masters! If this gets out, not only you, but I might be implicated too!" "Huh?"

"What else? You want me to betray my own cousin?"

A sharp, cold glint flashed from Su Luo's cat claws, as if she might blind Mu Gu at any moment.

"Ok."

Mu Gu didn't dare to say anything more.

In the darkness, two streaks of light, without revealing a trace of their presence, took off from outside Yunling City and sped off into the distance.

In the courtyard, Qin Yiyao stopped, gently wiping the sweat from her temples with her jade-like hand. She watched the brilliance she had caught for a moment disappear into the distant sky, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the little silver cat lying in the front yard basking in the moonlight.

"Hmm...that's strange."

She muttered to herself and continued practicing her swordsmanship.

...The Demon Realm is not small. For Su Luo and Mu Gu, who are at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, it took them two full weeks to travel from the border to the Demon Emperor City at full speed.

Upon entering the city, they had no time to rest. They strode directly into the Demon Emperor's Palace. In the deepest part of this vast palace, on the high black and gold throne, a figure hidden in the hazy mist sat listlessly.

"The Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, Su Luo."

"Ghost Tiger Clan, Shepherd of Bones."

They knelt on one knee a hundred paces away from the throne.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

As the resounding chant of worship subsided, the figure on the throne stirred, releasing an aura that even seemed to tear apart the surrounding space!

And this was nothing more than a tiny, insignificant amount of power that had unconsciously dissipated from him.

"Hmm? It's the two of you." The fog seemed to have lifted slightly, revealing a tiny crack.

From within that crack, one of the Demon King's silver pupils fixed its gaze on Su Luo and Mu Gu.

The two dared not move. Just kneeling there, they could feel the cold, icy gaze of the Demon King.
