CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 878: SKY-COVERING DEMON EMPEROR

"Name your price. I’ve managed this city for many years, and the position of City Lord must be mine," Starfire Saint Lord said, his face slightly darkened.

Ye Xuan smiled noncommittally, "No need, I quite like it here."

"Won’t you reconsider? Spirit Crystals aren’t an issue."

Having managed Starfire City for decades, the Starfire Saint Lord’s wealth was not in the tens of billions, but definitely in billions. Of course, his bottom line was two billion—any more than that, and there was no deal.

"I don’t lack Spirit Crystals, there’s no need to consider. Alright, you can leave the City Lord’s mansion now. Remember, take all your people out with you. I don’t keep idlers here."

Ye Xuan said decisively.

Upon hearing this, a strand of anger flashed in the Starfire Saint Lord’s eyes, "You better accept my suggestion, or beware of losing both people and wealth."

"Say one more word, and you die."

Ye Xuan said indifferently.

"You’re courting death!"

Starfire Saint Lord flared with anger, his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to attack Ye Xuan.

"It’s best to know oneself. It seems you’ve overrated yourself."

Ye Xuan sneered, a flash of sword light, and an arm of the Starfire Saint Lord soared high.

A pig-like scream erupted from his mouth. The Starfire Saint Lord had not expected Ye Xuan to waste one of his arms so easily. Besides anger, he was more terrified at Ye Xuan’s terrifying strength in doing so effortlessly.

With that thought, the Starfire Saint Lord’s face showed a smile, "Haha, I was just joking earlier. That you choose Starfire City is both my honor and my family’s honor. But since you are new, managing such a large city is undoubtedly difficult. If you don’t mind, I can help you manage it."

In his eyes, Ye Xuan probably didn’t have time to manage a city. If he took over, it wouldn’t be a loss, and he could still dominate and stir the winds and clouds, killing two birds with one stone, and save a lot of Spirit Crystals in the process.

As for the grievance of losing an arm, it could be avenged later. For a Seventh Grade Martial Saint like him, losing an arm was nothing at all.

"No need, just disappear from my sight as fast as you can. Otherwise..."

Ye Xuan lifted the Thunder Abyss Sword slightly.

Whoosh!

Before Ye Xuan could draw the sword, the Starfire Saint Lord scurried off in a flash.

"What a coward."

Nangong Yao snickered and then her gaze fell on the beautiful woman.

"Spare me."

The beautiful woman shivered slightly, frequently casting flirtatious glances at Ye Xuan, hoping he would spare her life.

"Go out."

Ye Xuan was somewhat amused, waving his hand to signal her to leave.

"This nice place got tainted by that fatty. Let’s go out to the courtyard."

Nangong Yao headed towards the back of the hall.

Entering the courtyard, the two sat in a pavilion.

After greeting the maidservants, the stone table before them was soon filled with fruit platters and fine wine.

"Finally, we can enjoy ourselves."

Nangong Yao lounged on the chair lazily, stretching languidly.

"Did you find any news about Senior Sister Ling’s whereabouts?"

Ye Xuan poured two glasses of wine, then asked.

"Not yet. I’m afraid she’s not in the Eastern Realm."

Nangong Yao shook her head. The person she couldn’t find must not be in the Eastern Realm.

"Not in the Eastern Realm?"

Ye Xuan frowned slightly. If not in the Eastern Realm, then she must be in the Western World.

The Western World was quite distant, and a Void Trace lay between it and the Eastern Realm, making it hard to cross.

"After some time, let’s head to the Western World. Will you wait for me in Fengtian City or go with me?" Ye Xuan raised his glass and asked.

"Of course, I’ll go with you. Don’t think you can ditch me again. Besides, I’m not a burden, why wouldn’t you take me?"

Nangong Yao glared at Ye Xuan.

"Then let’s go together."

Ye Xuan smiled. He was only worried about encountering unpredictable dangers.

"With such a beautiful scene and delicious wine and food, shouldn’t we do something fun?" After a few drinks, Nangong Yao’s charming face reddened with a bit of intoxication.

"You want to do... something fun?"

A playful curve appeared at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth. Something fun easily led to misunderstandings.

"Where’s your mind going?"

Seemingly seeing through Ye Xuan’s wicked thoughts, the girl’s charming face turned more rosy and shy, showcasing her unique beauty.

The sky gradually darkened, a new moon hung in the sky.

Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao reminisced about past events, and after a bit of wine, they spoke without reservation and had a great time.

However, after only a few drinks, Nangong Yao couldn’t hold her liquor and fell asleep on the table like a little kitten.

"Still like a child."

Ye Xuan shook his head, just about to stand up, when his expression changed slightly. Slowly raising his head, he saw a black figure standing quietly atop a bamboo tree under the bright moon, its pair of black eyes looking particularly eerie in the moonlight.

Ye Xuan’s pupils slightly contracted as he gazed at the figure.

"Haha, so you’re the brat who almost caused Silver Thunder to fall?" the black shadow looked at Ye Xuan and chuckled lightly.

"Which Demon Clan bigwig might you be?" Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, then coldly sneered.

Judging by the person’s aura, Ye Xuan could determine they were from the Demon Clan, and their aura was unfathomable, evidently a big shot in the Demon Clan.

The shadow lifted its head slightly, revealing a face etched with Demon Runes under the moonlight, then it grinned, its pale teeth exuding an eerie feeling.

"I am the Sky-covering Demon Emperor of Death Wing City, and I’m here for you."

As the words left the shadow’s mouth, Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically, his body tensing.

The whole courtyard seemed to fall silent.

The Demon Clan’s commander in this Divine Demon Battlefield offensive, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor.

No doubt, he was on the same tier as the Empress and Emperor Yu. It was unexpected that he would appear here.

Strands of soul power and golden light quietly poured from Ye Xuan’s eyes, with True Yuan and soul power both surging, Sword Qi enveloping him, presenting himself as if facing a formidable adversary.

"I didn’t expect you, a big shot of the Demon Clan, to be dispatched for a small fry like me." Ye Xuan stared at the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and spoke slowly.

"Haha, don’t be modest. You’re no small fry now. Even in our Demon Clan’s must-kill list, you’re high up, so it’s only appropriate for me to come." The Sky-covering Demon Emperor said with a smile.

The geniuses of the Human Clan have always been targets for the Demon Clan’s fear and assassinations, let alone a once-in-a-millennium genius like Ye Xuan. After all, even the Black Diamond Commander was killed by him, so the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s arrival was to solve Ye Xuan once and for all.
