The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 444 Get Down and Go to Hell

Li Ye came to the door of the Star Pavilion with Wu You and the demons.

There were very few demons here, but the Star Pavilion was still open. There were demons inside, and four demons were welcoming guests at the door, two males and two females. Two were in the human figures, and two were in their true figures. They were all good-looking.

Seeing Li Ye’s team with both human beings and demons, a white-faced servant greeted them with a smile. “Please come in. No matter what kind of Magic Treasures and Dan Pills you need, the Star Pavilion can meet your requirements.”

Li Ye didn’t step forward but pointed to the signboard of the Star Pavilion. He said calmly, “I’ll take this.”

The servant’s expression changed, but he covered it up by a bright smile. “You’re kidding. The signboard is worthless.”

Li Ye glanced at the servant. “I never joke with an enemy.”

While speaking, he clawed with his five fingers, and majestic Spiritual Qi burst out. The signboard of the Star Pavilion was taken off. As the servant watched in surprise, Li Ye clenched his five fingers, and the signboard crumbled into powder, sprinkling on the four demons.

The servant’s expression immediately turned ferocious. “You’re here to make trouble. How dare you come to our Star Pavilion...”

Before the servant could finish speaking, Li Ye slapped on the servant’s head and knocked him to the ground directly.

His attack was powerful. The servant was just in the Spiritual Master Realm. His head struck a pit in the bluestone. He was bleeding on his face and could no longer get up.

Li Ye walked over him. “I’m here to make trouble. How can you be a servant with such slow reactions? If in my Prince An’s Manor, you will be beaten down by Shangguan Qingcheng, even if you won’t be killed by the enemy.”

The other three demons immediately rushed forward and attacked Li Ye as they saw their companion being injured. “Bastard! Do you want to die? Stop now!”

“Noisy.” Li Ye swung his sleeve, as if he was driving away flies. He didn’t have any other movements. The three demons vomited blood and flew backward halfway, like being struck by lightning. They smashed the door and the walls, and fell into the house, motionless.

Li Ye swaggered into the door first. At this time, the two servants, who were entertaining guests, flew out from behind the counter. Each of them had a long knife, and they chopped toward Li Ye.

As Li Ye punched out, the two demons exploded in the air. He continued to move forward.

A manager in the Ground Immortal Realm came in a hurry from the backyard. When he saw Li Ye, and the servants lying on the ground, his eyes widened with anger. But he didn’t attack rashly. The servants all died without lasting for a moment, so he was afraid of Li Ye’s strength.

The manager stared at Li Ye. “You paid a visit late at night and killed our servants. Did our Star Pavilion offend you? If so, please tell us and we can discuss it with you. If we’re wrong, we’ll make it up to you...”

He was calm because he knew that the shopkeeper was in the backyard. As long as he could delay Li Ye for a moment, the shopkeeper would take action personally.

Li Ye didn’t intend to talk nonsense with him, so he gave out the Cloud-gathering Punch. “Make it up to me? Well, I want all the Magic Treasures and Dan Pills in the Star Pavilion!”

When Li Ye punched out, the manager was scared out of his wits because he couldn’t resist that strength. He quickly crossed his arms in front of him, and a light screen rose around him. He tried his best to defend.

However, the light screen was smashed by the Cloud-gathering Punch at the next moment. The power of the punch didn’t weaken, and it hit the manager’s arms. “Crack. Crack.” The manager’s arms were directly broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell back to the backyard, unconscious.

Li Ye walked unimpededly all the way to the backyard.

A while later, two cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm and more than a dozen cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm and in the Spiritual Master Realm fell under his feet.

At this time, no other demons dared to appear again. No one knew whether there were no other demons or they were hiding.

Li Ye looked up and saw a demon tiger looking at him furiously at the window of the attic in the backyard.

Li Ye chuckled and twisted his wrist. He held the Luke Sword in his hand and pointed it at his opponent. Cyan light burned like a flame. “I heard that there is a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm here, and I came here to kill him. I wonder if it’s you. If so, get down and go to hell!”

“How dare you!” The demon tiger was furious and immediately rushed out of the window.

When he was in the air, his cultivation power burst out like tides. He was surrounded by red Qi, like the sun, making people unable to look at him directly. The flowers and grass in the courtyard were directly turned into ashes. Even Li Ye’s clothes were blown by the Spiritual Qi and rustling.

At this time, more than a dozen cultivators of the demon clan with different cultivation suddenly rushed out of the house and stood on the roof and the courtyard walls, blocking the directions where Li Ye could escape. They didn’t dare to appear previously, but now when the demon tiger appeared, they had the confidence to show up.

Wu You, You Daxiao, and the other demons were standing behind Li Ye at this moment. When they saw the demon tiger, they had different reactions.

Staring at the demon tiger, Wu You clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth. She tried her best to restrain her desire to fight.

The innkeeper, the demon wolf, and the demon jackal looked frightened. The pressure of the Real Immortal Realm was stronger than that of the mountain. It was righteous for them not to run away. At this moment, they didn’t have the courage to fight.

The innkeeper cried out, “Childe, he’s in the Real Immortal Realm. You go, and we’ll cover you...”

What she said in such a situation surprised Wu You.

“As you killed my demons, none of you can leave!” A huge knife appeared in the demon tiger’s hand. He mobilized all his cultivation power and chopped toward Li Ye.

Li Ye retrieved his sword and bent his knees. Then he rushed out suddenly and stabbed the demon tiger with his sword.

When facing a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm, he looked as usual. He adopted a head-on combat approach, as if his opponent was not in the Real Immortal Realm but in the Spiritual Master Realm. “You come at the right time. Since you start a fight, let’s decide the life and death by one strike!”

The demon tiger roared with a ferocious look, and the red Qi around his knife suddenly burst out. It swept the whole sky in an instant, like tides. At that moment, a flood jutted out in the middle of the red clouds, like a funnel. It attacked Li Ye fiercely with great momentum.

Li Ye went against the trend. Like the bright light in the eastern sky at dawn, a thin cyan and white Sword Qi went through the red flood, and then, it disappeared in a flash.

Even with the support of the magic formation, the buildings of the Star Pavilion were also smashed into pieces by the surging Qi waves. The red flood covered the place and suddenly exploded. A mushroom cloud rose. A stream of cyan and white Qi went straight up the stars in the clouds.

The demons were forced to retreat.

When the red clouds dissipated, the Star Pavilion became ruins. Only the bottles of Magic Treasures and Dan Pills were still shining in the smoke and dust.

Wu You and the demons looked over and saw a man standing and a tiger lying in the ruins.

Li Ye’s clothes were soaked with blood, and his hand holding the Luke Sword kept shaking. Blood gathered on his arms and dripped from his fingertips.

The demon tiger was lying in the ruins, motionless. Only the pool of blood kept spreading under his body.

Victory and defeat, also life and death were decided.

The cultivators of the demon clan in the Star Pavilion were horrified and dumbfounded. They stared at the demon tiger’s body, as if they could not accept the fact that he was dead.

The innkeeper went limp and fell to the ground, as if she had no strength. She stared at Li Ye’s back for a long time before she finally brought back her mind.

Wu You didn’t have any special reaction. She was the first to rush to Li Ye’s side. She stared at the surrounding cultivators of the Star Pavilion, ready to fight at any time.

...

“They told me that when I opened my spiritual intelligence and changed from a wild fox into a demon fox, it was the day of the Awakening of Insects.”

“At that time, I was ignorant and I didn’t know what the Awakening of Insects was. I only remembered that there was a peach tree outside the cave. The flowers were particularly beautiful, even more beautiful than the heavy snow. Later, when my cultivation improved, I went to find more demons in the world and wanted to understand what the Awakening of Insects was. My intuition told me that it should be something more beautiful than the peach blossoms in the mountain.”

“I searched it for a long time and asked a lot of demons, hoping to get a satisfactory answer. It was like the mortals were always asking for the answer to life. Whether they could get a satisfactory reply or not, they always wanted their birth to be different and to have a special meaning. Therefore, they could have an extraordinary life, standing on top and looking down on others. They would be envied, praised, and worshiped by many people.”

“Over the years, I have walked across many bridges, seen many clouds, and experienced many sunrises and sunsets. I finally knew that the weather would become warm, the spring thunder would come, and all the living creatures dormant in the winter would be awakened on the day of the Awakening of Insects. So the Awakening of Insects meant a new life.”

“I was very satisfied with this answer, and I began to feel that my life must be beautiful. Spring is always beautiful, so the beginning of spring must be more beautiful, isn’t it?”

“In the past few years, I walked on many roads, crossed many bridges, and drank a lot of wine. I saw Demon King City ablaze with lights, many demons as beautiful as jade, brilliant summer flowers, and tranquil autumn leaves. They were all so beautiful that they would create a sense of distance when demons faced each other.”

“They were the most beautiful paintings in the world, but I was always an outsider.”

“So one day, like waking from a dream, I realized that since I left the barren mountain where I was born, nothing I saw was as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming on the tree outside the cave on the day of the Awakening of Insects.”

“Later, I opened an inn in the Lingyun Canyon. I thought that there would be scenery more beautiful than yesterday at the junction between the human world and the demon clan. I have been waiting for a long time, and more than a hundred years have passed. Unfortunately, however, things are no better than they used to be.”

“I didn’t think that I could wait for it or find it, but you appeared when I was about to give up. The first time I saw you, I instantly understood what it was called a jade-like childe. I thought if I was lucky enough to see the scenery more beautiful than the peach blossoms in my life that must be you.”

“All the flowers in the world are inferior to your affection, and the attractive scenery in the world is inferior to your walking under the moon.”

Li Ye was silent for a moment. He looked up at the demon fox who was confiding at the door, speechless.

“So that’s why you keep seducing Elder Brother Ye?” Wu You opened the door and stared at the demon fox with a gloomy face. “I don’t accept it!”
