Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Su Han’s name had already spread throughout Qingzhou and Mozhou, and the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable had naturally heard of him. After all, the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord, the foremost genius of the Heavenly Demon Cult, had died at his hands. Furthermore, Qian Xuan, the foremost genius of the Seven Stars Sect, was also killed by him. How could anyone not pay attention to such a young man? Among the Supreme Realm experts in Qingzhou and Mozhou who excelled in Thunder Technique, there was only Lei Ming. Comparing these two facts, Su Han’s identity was all but confirmed.

Su Han had no choice in the matter. If he had not used the Supreme Thunder Pearl, he would have been killed. To save his own life, he had to reveal his identity. Although this would lead to endless trouble in the future, at least he could stay alive for now.

”Su Han, I swear I won’t rest until you are dead!” The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable roared in fury, sentencing Su Han to death in his heart. He then pursued in the direction of Su Han’s escape, but without the tracking marker, he was completely unable to find him. Moreover, Su Han possessed the Thousand Changes and Transformations ability, allowing him to shift into various forms and making it impossible to guard against him. Eventually, the infuriated Seven Injuries Devil Honorable massacred three or four cities before completely losing track of Su Han.

I must transmit this information to the Cult Master immediately and have all our forces search for him. I refuse to believe he can make it back to Qingzhou! The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable had to face reality. With his power alone, he could not track down Su Han and had to rely on an encirclement.

Soon, the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign received a message from the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable.

”What? That accursed home-raider is Su Han from the Seven Stars Sect?!” The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign was stunned; this was an outcome he had never anticipated. After all, even if Su Han was monstrously talented, he was at most in the Phenomenon Realm. How could he have possibly broken into their stronghold, stolen from their treasury, and destroyed their Spirit Vein? However, he did not believe the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable would dare to deceive him, which meant he had truly underestimated Su Han. Furthermore, Su Han’s absence from the Seven Stars Sect also supported this theory; it proved he was not in the sect when the war erupted. The home-raider was, in all likelihood, him.

”Cult Master, this Su Han has killed many of our True Disciples, and the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord perished at his hands. Now, he can even break through the Great Formation, loot the treasury, and destroy the Spirit Vein. The threat he poses is enormous, and he must be eliminated!” Toad Poison Venerable quickly spoke up. His hatred for Su Han was bone-deep, and this news only made his killing intent surge.

”Qin Wushuang, what is your take on this?” the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign asked, turning to Qin Wushuang, who was standing beside him. After all, Qin Wushuang harbored the deepest enmity toward Su Han and also knew the most about him.

Qin Wushuang, his hatred for Su Han so deep it felt as if the waters of three great rivers could not wash it away, quickly spoke up and offered his judgment. ”Cult Master, this man rose from insignificance, but his growth has been extremely fast. The fact that the foremost geniuses of both the Seven Stars Sect and the Heavenly Demon Cult died at his hands is proof enough of his monstrous talent. He now also possesses a high degree of Formation Mastery, allowing him to infiltrate our stronghold and loot the treasury. It is very likely he has inherited the legacy of some powerful Formation expert.”

A prince from a small country—how could he possibly rise so swiftly in such a short time without some extraordinary encounter? It was simply impossible.

”He has now become a formidable figure,” Qin Wushuang continued, now completely considering himself a member of the Heavenly Demon Cult. ”Although his Realm is not high, the threat he poses is immense. If we don’t eradicate him soon, he will become a cancer in the heart of our Heavenly Demon Cult.”

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign took the words of both Toad Poison Venerable and Qin Wushuang to heart. He had paid some attention to Su Han before but had not considered him a major concern. After all, talent is one thing, but strength is another; a genius who has not fully matured cannot be considered a true expert. But this time, the name Su Han was like a steel needle, piercing deep into his heart. A mere Phenomenon Realm cultivator could infiltrate their stronghold, loot the treasury, destroy the Spirit Vein, and slaughter their disciples. If they let him continue to grow, it might be the Heavenly Demon Cult that faced annihilation.

”Issue the order! We must find Su Han! As long as this person lives, our Heavenly Demon Cult will never know peace!” The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign issued another order, this time clearly identifying Su Han as the target.

As this news spread, it caused not only Mozhou to tremble but also Qingzhou to be greatly shocked.

「Seven Stars Sect」

The seven Spirit Peaks had already returned to their positions.

Ye Chuanfeng had summoned Lei Ming to the Sect Master’s Hall. They were the only two present, and the summons was, naturally, about Su Han. Ye Chuanfeng had just returned and was unaware of the previous events, but he had quickly learned a great deal after making some inquiries. When Lei Ming heard the news, he froze, his face a mask of shock and disbelief.

”Are you sure it’s really Su Han?” Lei Ming asked again, still finding it hard to believe.

”This news comes from the Heavenly Demon Cult, so it’s almost certainly true,” Ye Chuanfeng said. ”Lei Ming, you’ve taken on a good disciple indeed!”

This Su Han was a remarkable prospect. Now that both Qian Xuan and the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord had died at his hands, he was the undisputed foremost genius of both provinces. Moreover, at such a young age, he was brave and cunning enough to seize the opportunity to raid the Heavenly Demon Cult’s home base, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back. This act alone was enough for Ye Chuanfeng to look at him in a new light.

After his shock subsided, Lei Ming was filled with deep concern. ”I must go and save him!” Although his injuries had not yet healed, he was determined to rescue Su Han.

”You have not recovered from your injuries yet, so you should stay in the sect,” Ye Chuanfeng volunteered, also seeing potential in Su Han. ”As for saving him, leave it to me!”

Of course, I don’t want him as a disciple like Lei Ming does. I just value his potential... perhaps as a gift to offer the Tian Lou Saint. If Su Han can gain the favor of the Tian Lou Saint and become his follower, I’ll also reap immense benefits.

Ye Chuanfeng always acted in his own interest; every move he made was driven by profit and purpose. However, this time, his actions were a boon for both Lei Ming and Su Han. Ye Chuanfeng’s strength was formidable, and with the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, he was more than capable of rescuing Su Han.

Lei Ming knew his injuries were severe. Even if he found Su Han, it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and the others. Having Ye Chuanfeng go was the best option. ”If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip!”

”Don’t worry,” Ye Chuanfeng said with a smile, patting Lei Ming’s shoulder. ”I will definitely bring a genius like Su Han back safely!” With that, he tore through space and vanished.

Su Han, you are the gift I plan to offer the Tian Lou Saint. I will definitely bring you back unharmed!

Meanwhile, Su Han was unaware that Ye Chuanfeng was coming to save him. He employed Thousand Changes and Transformations along the way, taking on various guises, and quietly made his way to the border of Mozhou. A large number of troops were stationed there to prevent his escape, but they had still underestimated his abilities.

Using the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead to get close, Su Han killed a guard and took on his appearance. He then strolled past the border without a care in the world and returned to Qingzhou.

Just as Su Han returned to Qingzhou and began making his way toward the Seven Stars Sect, a piece of news shook the entire Eastern Region. The Notorious List had been updated, and Su Han’s name was now on it.
