Crow in the West, starting to evolve from the plundering entry

Chapter 351 Erlang Shen and the Demon Emperor
The moon was bright and the stars were few; it was already late at night.

Countless demons were cleaning up the battlefield.

Furthermore, one powerful figure after another shuttled back and forth across the night sky, seemingly on patrol.

Meanwhile, deep within the Heavenly Demon Palace, lights shone brightly.

Countless powerful figures stood silently.

"We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor and the Princess."

"We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor and the Princess."

During the unanimous audience, countless figures bowed their heads.

"Get up."

Yu Qiye sat high on the throne, looking down at everyone.

In his arms, a delicate little girl, as exquisite as a porcelain doll, nestled close to him.

"Father, this must be Uncle Jiao."

"Father, is this Grandpa Bai Ze?"

The little girl was playful and cute, pointing at one figure after another and asking questions.

"Ah."

With a slight nod, Yu Qiye also introduced:

"Little one, your Uncle Jiao has gone to great lengths for you all these years."

"As for Grandpa Bai Ze, he went even deeper into the continent to collect rare and precious materials."

Upon hearing this, the little girl broke free from Yu Qiye's embrace, then looked at the Flood Dragon Demon King and Bai Ze's clone, and said gratefully:
"Xiangxiang is here to thank Uncle Jiao and Grandpa Bai Ze."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Upon hearing that playful and adorable voice, Bai Ze's heart seemed to melt, and he became extremely excited.

At this moment, he really wanted to unleash all his hidden talents.

This was the hope he had waited for for countless years.

It is the future of the demon race.

However, at that very moment, the little girl's gaze fell upon a figure.

This figure was seated at the head of the left side.

He looked surprisingly young, his black robe flowing like the night, his pale face almost eerily handsome. Most striking was the golden vertical line on his forehead.

"The First War God of Heaven, Erlang Shen, the Manifest Saint."

Yu Qiye's voice was deep and pleasant, then he changed the subject and said:

"This is also your uncle."

"uncle?"

The little girl raised an eyebrow, seemingly in surprise.

After all, this Erlang Shen Zhenjun was completely out of place among the powerful demons present.

He was aloof and stern.

It makes one tremble.

However, the little girl still remembers.
Do you remember this one? He single-handedly blocked the Buddha and even fought against Guanyin.

"uncle."

The little girl called out softly.

"Ah."

With a slight nod, a subtle smile appeared on Erlang Shen's lips.

And the very next moment,
Erlang Shen clenched his right hand, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword slowly appeared in his hand, where he twirled it in an extremely beautiful flourish.

"Should I call you the Demon Emperor?"

Erlang Shen slightly opened his Heavenly Eye and looked at Yu Qiye not far away.

"Actually, I'd prefer you to call me brother-in-law."

Yu Qiye smiled.

However, as soon as he uttered those words, with a 'whoosh', a blade rang out, and the entire three-pointed double-edged sword burst forth with a chilling light.

Even more terrifying was the rapid drop in temperature in the main hall, as if winter had arrived.

"Be bold, Erlang Shen."

"What do you want to do?"

"Damn you, Erlang Shen!"

One exclamation after another rang out as numerous powerful figures stepped forward.

That was a powerful member of the demon race.

There are the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and even the Bai Ze.

Each of them exuded demonic energy, appearing almost tangible, with various beast shadows emerging deep within the hall.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Go back."

Yu Qiye smiled, but his voice was unquestionable, making people tremble.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

The response was unanimous, and all the powerful figures withdrew simultaneously.

"Brother-in-law?"

With a cold laugh, Erlang Shen's words suddenly shifted:

"I can call you brother-in-law, but you'd better be able to handle this move of mine."

"it is good."

With a response, Yu Qiye did not refuse.

"Then take this challenge."

With a soft shout, Erlang Shen Yang Jian soared into the air and headed straight for Yu Qiye.

He is very fast.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword repeatedly revealed its chilling gleam.

It pointed directly at Yu Qiye's brow.

"Lord Demon Emperor."

"Be careful, Demon Emperor!"

"Quickly retreat, Lord Demon Emperor."

One exclamation after another followed, shocking many powerful figures.

What was even more astonishing was that Yu Qiye neither dodged nor avoided the attack.
He acted as if he hadn't seen the knife at all.

"you"

Erlang Shen raised an eyebrow, a strange look appearing on his face.

This guy didn't dodge or evade at all.

What does he want to do?
Even so, Erlang Shen still did not hold back.

He tightened his grip on the three-pointed double-edged sword in his right hand and increased his speed once again.

"brush"

However, the demons were stunned in the next moment.

Even Erlang Shen was stunned.

As Erlang Shen approached Yu Qiye, he seemed to sink into a swamp, his speed decreasing more and more.

And between him and Yu Qiye, endless ripples spread.

One layer after another,
It seems to have no end.

"This is?"

Bai Ze's pupils contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"The power of space?"

Bai Ze exclaimed in shock.

Yes, the power of space.

One space after another, constantly overlapping, like walls rising straight up.

The distances that seem close actually grow further and further apart.

It felt like the ends of the earth.
And this is the divine power that Yu Qiye comprehended—within reach.

What seems like a short distance is actually an insurmountable distance.

so.
"boom"

Despite the wind and waves, the entire hall was shattered.

Despite the continuous explosions of sword light.
But Yu Qiye remained unmoved.

That blow won't land on him.

"That's truly a brilliant tactic."

With a sigh, Erlang Shen wisely put away his three-pointed double-edged sword.

He knew that this blow would never fall on Yu Qiye.

Although he can open his third eye and penetrate these layers of space.

But that would violate the principle of "one cut".

so.
"I lost."

Erlang Shen sighed and landed next to Yu Qiye.

The two of them were dressed in black, with extremely handsome faces, like immortals or gods.

A figure dressed in a golden robe, with a dignified face, yet exuding a hint of evil.

From afar, it resembles a breathtakingly beautiful painting.

"Then now, you should call me?"

Yu Qiye smiled.

"Brother-in-law."

Erlang Shen was quite frank.

"Good good."

Amidst his repeated exclamations, Yu Qiye revealed a smile.

"Second Brother."

Yu Qiye was equally unceremonious.

He was already acquainted with Erlang Shen.

Now, people don't mind calling him "Second Brother".

Besides, he even tricked Yang Chan into bed.

It's already quite good that Erlang Shen didn't kill him directly with his sword.

"Where's my sister?"

Erlang Shen asked. "She is recuperating deep within the palace. Don't worry, I have hired the best doctors to take care of her and prepared a large number of rare and precious herbs for her."

"I believe it won't be long before she recovers completely."

Yu Qiye still doted on Yang Chan.

Arrangements were made well in advance.

"That's good."

With a slight nod, Erlang Shen flipped his right hand, and a luminous white pill radiating five-colored light appeared in his palm.

"This is the Five-Colored Spirit-Nourishing Pill, which can better help her recover."

Looking at the pill, Yu Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.

This elixir appears to have been freshly made.

"You made this?"

Yu Qiye had some doubts.

If it really was made by Erlang Shen, he really wouldn't dare to give it to Yang Chan.

After all, Erlang Shen wasn't famous for alchemy.

"This was made by Laozi at my request; he owes me a favor."

Hearing Erlang Shen's words, Yu Qiye smiled and accepted the pill.

"That's good. If you really made it, I wouldn't dare give it to Chan'er."

At this point, Yu Qiye abruptly stopped.

He could already feel a terrifying killing intent locking onto him.

He had no doubt that once he uttered the entire sentence, the three-pointed double-edged sword would pierce his body directly.

Of course, it's highly likely that it's a piercing afterimage, or something else entirely.

"Uncle, Uncle"

With shouts coming one after another, Xiangxiang, who was not far away, was already rushing towards Erlang Shen.

She opened her arms as if to embrace him.

Upon seeing this, Erlang Shen's usually icy face revealed a rare smile.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of one powerful demon after another, Erlang Shen crouched down and then embraced Xiangxiang in his arms.

"Wait, is that Erlang Shen, the God of War from Heaven?"

"Is this Erlang Shen, the Manifestation Saint?"

"My God, are you kidding me?"

"As expected, it's still a blood relative."

One gasp of shock after another left many demons somewhat bewildered.

However, at this moment,
"Seven Nights, congratulations."

A soft laugh echoed deep within the hall.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a handsome young man dressed in lotus leaf clothes and lotus flower skirts, with a smile on his lips.

This is Nezha, the Third Prince.

He was also a renowned war god in the Heavenly Court.

He was the second to arrive when the Buddhist sect attacked the demon race.

Although he most likely acted for Yang Jian and Yang Chan, his actions still won the favor of most of the demon race.

"Thank you so much this time."

At this point, Yu Qiye abruptly changed the subject:
"However, your assistance to our demon race in this way is probably..."

Yu Qiye was a little worried.

He is, after all, the Third Prince of Heaven. If he helps the demon race in front of the Three Realms, there will inevitably be gossip.

"It doesn't matter."

Nezha, the Third Prince, grinned and said:

"You don't know, just now, the Jade Emperor was furious and personally went to the Western Paradise to question the Buddha."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the powerful figures changed.

"What? The Jade Emperor is questioning us? What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the Heavenly Court and Buddhism are about to go to war?"

One discussion after another broke out, and the entire hall was in an uproar.

"It is said that the Jade Emperor was furious at the Buddhist sect's scheme against Yang Chan and repeatedly investigated the matter."

Then they discovered that the Jade Emperor's sister was...

At this point, Nezha, the Third Prince, even glanced at Erlang Shen.

That one was Erlang Shen's mother.

"I will settle accounts with the Buddhist sect sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Erlang Shen's expression turned rather unpleasant.

He never imagined that Buddhism could be such a hypocrite.

They appeared friendly on the surface, but secretly plotted against each other.

Even his mother was plotted against by the Buddhist community.

No wonder Buddhism is becoming increasingly powerful.
No wonder Buddhism is flourishing.

They secretly stirred up trouble, causing internal strife among various factions.

They were behind the Lich War.

Nowadays, they are involved in all sorts of important events in Heaven.

"Buddhism. Indeed."

Yu Qiye sighed, but said nothing more.

The Buddhist community these days is not to be trifled with.

Not just on the surface.

Even in secret, they are not to be trifled with.

Those two saints were truly like two pillars supporting the sky, as immovable as mountains.

Yu Qiye suspected that even if the Heavenly Court did find out something, they would eventually let it go.

Ultimately, they are people we can't afford to offend.
Although the Heavenly Court is terrifying, it's hard to say whether the sages behind it will support it.

But Buddhism is different.

That's supporting them to the death.

so.
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was past midnight.

That night, none of the demons slept.

Yu Qiye sat high on his throne, looking down upon the world, and announced 'The Demon Clan's Grand Celebration for Three Days'.

At the same time, he personally opened the demon clan's treasure vault and bestowed various treasures upon them.

He would reward anyone who fought for the demon race.

We cannot let the other demon races lose heart.

Moreover, he not only instructed the Flood Dragon Demon King to establish an orphanage for the demon race, but also to raise the children of any demon who died fighting for the demon race until they grew up.

It will also provide various forms of inheritance.

"The Demon Emperor's benevolence towards the world will surely make all demons grateful."

A powerful demon led the charge.

"I said, our Heavenly Demon Dynasty will not let you down."

Yu Qiye was ultimately a person from later generations.

He naturally understood the importance of public opinion.

Only by uniting as one can we unleash greater power.

The demon race is not weak now.

Its potential is even greater.

If we could truly emulate the ways of later generations, perhaps we could establish a divine dynasty that reigns supreme over the entire Chaos.

However, that day seems very far away.

after all,

Buddhism comes first.

The sage is behind.

It's really giving me a headache.

But, at this very moment,
"Bai Ze."

"My subordinate is here."

Bai Ze stood beside Yu Qiye like a servant.

"I created a prototype of a demon realm in the chaos."

"After some time, you will secretly lead a group of Grand Luo Immortals to stabilize the entire demon realm."

Bai Ze looked excited as he listened to Yu Qiye's words.

"Yes, Young Emperor."

With a single response, Bai Ze knew that the real plan had begun.

Once all the demons have migrated to the demon realm, their growth will likely accelerate several times over.

Even dozens of times.

In the primordial wilderness, there were ultimately limitations.

More importantly, most of the blessed lands and grottoes in the prehistoric world have names and surnames.

Although the demon race is powerful, their repeated acts of plundering will likely incite public outrage.

It would be better to take a step back and leave the chaos to seek new opportunities.

But just then, as if remembering something, Bai Ze also said:
"Young Emperor, a large-scale relocation will likely cause a huge uproar."

“I understand, so I don’t plan to migrate secretly.”

At this point, Yu Qiye also looked up at the sky.

Today, the Heavenly Court ultimately reigns supreme over the entire primordial world.

He also wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to meet the Jade Emperor, who was high above all others.

To be honest, he has already caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace several times.

But I have never actually seen the Jade Emperor.

This one sits high in the thirty-third heaven, looking down upon all living beings; he is probably much more terrifying than the Buddha.

"The Buddha is, after all, a junior."

"But the Jade Emperor is a terrifying being who has survived countless calamities and endured to this day."

With a sigh, Yu Qiye could not hide the fear on his face.
