Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

Each clash was like two meteors colliding, unleashing devastating energy fluctuations.

The onlookers below felt as if two gods were fighting in the sky. The terrifying pressure, even through the array, made many cultivators with lower cultivation levels weak in the knees and almost unable to stand.

Yu Chi Feng's thunderous power is fierce and domineering; every punch and every palm strike carries the earth-shattering might of thunder.

He seemed to transform into thunder, his attacks like a relentless storm.

The power of the stars of the Chen Su Demon Emperor is vast, profound, and unpredictable. With every move, he can draw upon the power of the stars in the heavens, sometimes transforming into a giant shield of starlight to withstand the bombardment of thunder, and sometimes transforming into thousands of star shuttles to envelop Yu Chi Feng.

Suddenly, starlight coalesced, transforming into a longsword seemingly forged from the Milky Way. Wherever the sword's light pointed, even space itself distorted.

The two were evenly matched, locked in a fierce and evenly contested battle, with no clear winner for a short period of time.

Just then, a streak of light shot toward Tiger Wolf Pass at a speed exceeding the limits of vision from the distant horizon.

Within that flowing light was a vast and awe-inspiring righteous energy, like a blazing sun that dispelled the demonic aura.

In the blink of an eye, that dazzling light appeared before Tiger Wolf Pass, but it was a smiling fat man.

"It's the Left Demon Suppressor!"

On the wall, some sharp-eyed demon-hunting guards exclaimed in alarm.

He is one of the two Dao Realm guardians of the Demon Suppression Division, and together with the Right Demon Suppression Envoy, he is known as the two pillars of the Demon Suppression Division. He usually stays in the capital and rarely goes out, but today he has come to Liangzhou in person.

The Azure-Eyed Eagle King felt that vast and powerful aura, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

One Yuchi Feng is already troublesome enough, but if another Dao Realm expert, Zuo Zhenyao Shi, comes along, it's likely to meet its end here today.

"Your Majesty! The human race's Dao Realm cultivators have arrived!" The Eagle King was anxious and shouted into the sky, disregarding everything else.

The Demon Emperor Chen Su naturally sensed the powerful aura that was rapidly approaching. He clashed with Yu Chi Feng with a palm strike, and used the recoil to retreat gracefully. His star-studded body undulated slightly, clearly indicating that he had also expended a considerable amount of energy.

He glanced in the direction of Tiger Wolf Pass, then at the grinning Left Demon Suppressor, and snorted coldly.

That's enough for today.

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Li Yuan, who was inside the array's protective barrier.

Despite being hundreds of feet apart, the gaze of the Chen Su Demon Emperor seemed to pierce through all obstacles and met Li Yuan's gaze in the air.

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

An extremely dangerous feeling welled up inside him, as if something in the dark had locked onto him, making his heart pound wildly.

A cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of the Chen Su Demon Emperor's lips. "What an interesting little fellow. He actually managed to fool me."

A voice clearly rang in Li Yuan's mind, "I've remembered you, Li Yuan. Come and exchange your father's life within three days. Otherwise, I won't mind having someone cut off a part of his body every day and send it to Tiger Wolf Pass for you to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of starlight and shot towards the western horizon, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the Azure-Eyed Eagle King and the Silver Wolf Strategist felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly led the remaining demon guards away in a panic.

Li Yuan's face was pale, but he was very puzzled as to how he had just exposed his identity.

Could it be because he used the power of time?

Very few people knew that he possessed the power of time; in fact, they could be counted on one hand. This time, during his advancement, unlike the previous times, he didn't awaken a new talent; instead, he strengthened his control over the power of time.

In that critical moment, in order to save his life, he subconsciously used it, buying himself a moment's time.

But at that time, the Chen Su Demon Emperor was fighting against Yu Chi Feng in the sky, and unexpectedly, he could not escape his eyes.

At this moment, Zuo Zhenyao Envoy glanced in the direction where Chen Su Demon Emperor had left, and bowed to Yu Chifeng.

"General Yuchi, how have you been?"

"Feng Wuhen, you're too late. You've missed the show." Yu Chifeng laughed heartily, withdrew the lightning from his body, and landed back on the gate wall.

He patted the clothes on his body that had been scorched by starlight, and looked at Chu Jinghong. "Old Chu, that Chen Su Demon Emperor is no less powerful than me, and his star power is extremely pure and ancient, unlike the methods of those guys in the Demon Court."

Feng Wuhen nodded and said, "I sensed his aura just now. He is indeed different from ordinary demons. He seems to be a primordial spirit born at the beginning of time, as recorded in ancient books."

"A primordial spirit?" Chu Jinghong frowned. "But if he's not the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, where could he have come from?"

"It certainly doesn't seem like it." Yu Chifeng shook his head, his expression becoming solemn. "I have fought against several demon emperors of the Demon Court. Although their demonic power is strong, most of them are violent and bloodthirsty, full of predatory tendencies."

"And the power of this Chen Su Demon Emperor, though cold, carries an ancient sense of order, which reminds me of a place."

"Where?" Chen Shuo couldn't help but ask.

Yu Chifeng glanced at him and slowly uttered four words: "The Holy Land of the Demon Clan."

Upon hearing these four words, everyone in the know gasped in shock.

The Sacred Land of the Demon Clan is the legendary origin of the demon race. It is located deep within the far western ice plains, and legend has it that one must traverse a ten-thousand-year-old ice plain, further isolated by spatial turbulence.

It is said that the demons born there have the purest bloodline, are born with great power, and have long lifespans, but their numbers are small and they rarely leave the holy land, almost never interacting with the outside world.

The Tang Dynasty fought against the Demon Court for hundreds of years, but the Demon Clan's Holy Land never participated.

"The Holy Land of the Demon Race..."

"Could it be that the Chen Su Demon Emperor really comes from the sacred land of the demon race?" Chu Jinghong's heart sank.

"This is just speculation for now," said Yu Chifeng. "Although the Demon Court is powerful, it cannot command a Demon Emperor from a Holy Land. If he really comes from the Demon Clan's Holy Land... then his purpose for this trip is worth pondering."

"I don't understand, why is he targeting Li Yuan?" Chen Shuo asked the most crucial question. "At first, we all thought he was sent by the Demon Court to assassinate a human genius, but if he's not from the Demon Court, then why is Li Yuan his target?"

All eyes turned to Li Yuan.

Standing in the crowd, Li Yuan's face paled even more. At this moment, he was almost certain that the Chen Su Demon Emperor had come for the Bronze Palace.

He met everyone's gaze and slowly began to speak: "Perhaps his target is not me as a person, but something about me."

He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present was no fool; they all vaguely guessed what it was.

Yu Chifeng gave Li Yuan a deep look. "Boy, I don't want to ask what secrets you have. But remember, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"Since the Demon Emperor Chen Su has already set his sights on you, he won't give up easily. Whether you go to the three-day agreement he made or not, there needs to be a plan."

Li Yuan was shocked. It seemed that the telepathic message from the Demon Emperor Chen Su had not escaped Yu Chi Feng's notice.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his gaze firm: "I'll go."

"Li Yuan," Chen Shuo said anxiously, "Are you crazy? This trip will most likely be a one-way trip."

"I know," Li Yuan said calmly, looking at him. "But no matter what, my father is in his hands, and I can't just stand by and watch him die."
