I only want to win over the fairy.

At this very moment, the atmosphere inside the main hall of the Emperor's Palace became tense.

"I agree with His Majesty the Emperor's decision." At this critical moment, a beautiful woman stepped forward, strongly supporting Bai Yi: "My daughter, as the Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor's Palace, was assassinated by the ancient demon race, a disgrace to the Human Emperor's Palace. And now you're asking for a long-term discussion? My opinion is the same as His Majesty the Emperor's. You either agree or die! What can you accomplish by keeping a bunch of cowardly, timid fellows who only hold us back? You might as well die sooner so that we can unite our forces!"

[The Grand Elder and Deputy Palace Master Qiu Ya of the Human Emperor Palace strongly support your choice, and Palace Master Si Zhou is also willing to acknowledge your identity as the Human Emperor and fight to the death against the ancient demon race. In a short time, many elders have expressed their support, and the matter of joining forces to fight against the Myriad Demon Palace is a foregone conclusion.]

That night, you and Xiao Jinxuan, along with 70% of the Emperor's Palace's elite forces, launched a surprise attack on the Demon Palace.

Looking at the heavily guarded Ten Thousand Demon Palace in the distance, Bai Yi did not hide in the back, but stood at the front. He took out the Human Emperor Sword, cut the skin of his palm with the blade, and smeared the blood on the blade.

"Now! I'm going to launch an invincible attack!"

"The Emperor's Sword, draw it!"

Chapter 99 I hereby declare that you must marry me.

The power of the Human Emperor Sword's self-destruction is quite terrifying. With Bai Yi's current abilities, it is naturally impossible for him to completely destroy the Human Emperor Sword. He can only cause a part of it to explode, and that part can recover over time.

Now the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is right in front of us. As long as we destroy it, we can use the demon race's fortune to make up for the portion of the human race's fortune that was lost when the Human Emperor Sword self-destructed, and there will even be some left over.

Before the battle begins, here's a big surprise for you!

The demons, who were resting and recuperating in the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, awaiting their next move, suddenly looked up at the sky. They saw light, a light so bright that it was almost blinding.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!! Those humans are attacking!!!"

"Don't panic! We'll hold on..."

March 27, 1146 of the Wanxian Calendar, Wanyao Palace, sunny, temperature 18000°, everyone in the sect is an acquaintance, everyone is very polite, and hardly a word is spoken.

The Human Emperor Sword was specifically designed to attack demons, and now, with its self-destruction, about 90% of the demons in the Myriad Demon Palace died on the spot, leaving only the strongest group alive.

However, before the surviving demon could react, the second attack came.

"If you could block the first shot, what about the second one!"

Bai Yi raised the Human Emperor Sword in his hand again. Some cracks appeared on the sword, but the attack aura attached to the sword became stronger and stronger. Its power... far exceeded the first time!

When he killed a large number of demons with the Human Emperor Sword, a large amount of demonic fortune also appeared with their deaths. Now, he absorbs this demonic fortune and integrates it into his second strike.

The Human Emperor Sword is an extremely special weapon. Although its power varies depending on the user, the difference is not significant. At most, the stronger the user, the more powerful the attack will be when the user sacrifices the sword.

For example, in the previous simulation, Bai Yi's realm and the level of reincarnation power had reached their peak. He was only one step away from reaching the top of the world. At that time, he could destroy the entire Human Emperor Sword along with the human race's fortune, and the power would be enough to take any forbidden zone of life with him.

His current cultivation level is relatively low, and he can barely manage to make a small part of the Emperor's Sword self-destruct, but its power is enough to threaten the demons of the Myriad Demon Palace!

This sword, in particular, is effective against all races except humans!

You are not human; you are guilty.

In short! A powerful tool for external operations!

What are you looking at! You inhuman thing, take this attack from me! (Special attack against humans)

"Is this the power of the Human Emperor?" Si Zhou, the Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace, looked down at the Myriad Demon Palace, which had been almost razed to the ground by Bai Yi's two attacks, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with excitement.

If he can achieve this level at the Four Symbols Realm alone, then if he grows up, he will surely become a great human emperor who can lead the human race to a golden age, and it is not impossible for him to even pacify one of the ten forbidden zones of life!

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ya said to Si Zhou with a hint of something, "It's a pity that he is not a member of our Human Emperor Palace, but a disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect Master. It would be very difficult for someone like him to join our Human Emperor Palace."

Wielding the Emperor's Sword, destined to become the Emperor himself, even commanding the Emperor's Palace, yet the person he is is the Xuan Tian Sect—isn't that a kind of...

Si Zhou frowned.

Feeling that the atmosphere was just right, Qiu Ya couldn't help but suggest, "Since he is from the Xuantian Sect and cannot join the Human Emperor Palace, why don't we form a marriage alliance with the Xuantian Sect? Besides, when our Human Emperor Palace was fighting against the ancient demon race, among all the immortal sects, only the Xuantian Sect was willing to take the initiative to express its support and help. Why don't we take this opportunity to get married and deepen the relationship between the Human Emperor Palace and the Xuantian Sect?"

Her daughter, Qiu Yuelian, couldn't stop thinking about this person, mentioning Bai Yi to her repeatedly. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that her daughter was just infatuated and immature, and had never met a truly outstanding person. However, the moment her daughter was in trouble, he immediately came to help with supplies, and even threatened to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. This action alone was enough to make Bai Yi occupy a place in her heart, and even label him as her future son-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Si Zhou and Qiu Ya immediately reached a consensus.

The moment Bai Yi unleashed his second attack with the Human Emperor Sword, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already rushed out and begun slashing at the ancient demon race, keenly heard the discussion between the two behind her, and her anger flared even more.

Looking at the old man who had exchanged more than twenty blows with her, she was displeased and swung her sword with all her might, instantly decapitating him. But she seemed to think that just beheading him wasn't enough to kill him, or perhaps she was still resentful, so she swung her sword hundreds of times in an instant, chopping him into thousands of pieces of flesh.

After cutting down this one, she still felt a bit annoyed, as if there was a pent-up resentment in her heart. So she activated her killing god mode, killing one person after another, and venting her resentment at will.

After Si Zhou and Qiu Ya finished their discussion, they looked closely and found Xiao Jinxuan standing in the sky above the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, covered in blood, while all the enemies had been killed by her.

this...

She single-handedly wiped out all those demons?!

Those who survived those two attacks were all the strongest members of the Myriad Demon Palace, their strength comparable to the sect leaders and elders of major immortal sects. Yet, in such a short time, these demons were all killed by the woman before them…

Are all the people from the Xuantian Sect monsters?!

So, if the two of them, master and disciple, could wipe out the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in one fell swoop, then why did you invite us here? Just to watch you wreak havoc?

[The night was as bright as day; all demons perished. The Xuantian Sect and the Human Emperor Palace joined forces in a night raid on the Demon Palace. In one night, the once-prosperous Demon Palace was reduced to history.]

The message that popped up on the simulation made Qiu Yuelian shout "Yay!" She put her hands on her hips, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and adopted a posture of seeking defeat alone.

"How can a mere ancient demon compare to my husband!"

The fact that Xuantian Sect was able to join forces with the Human Emperor Palace must be due to Bai Yi's involvement. Moreover, the fact that he could destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, which was comparable to any of the nine great immortal sects and even intended to rival the Human Emperor Palace, overnight is something that no one but his own husband could do!

She knew her husband's abilities perfectly well.

Back then, when the human race was beaten so badly by the ancient demon race, to the point where the other side could fight or make peace at will, Bai Yi still managed to rise up against the odds, fight his way out, and unify the nine provinces. How much more so now!

You damned ancient demons attacked me! Now you know what happens when you mess with me!

Nothing makes her happier than watching the person she loves grow stronger and show off their skills. If there is one, it's definitely when the two of them get married!

Speaking of getting married, I must win over Bai Yi as soon as possible, lest some random person suddenly appear and steal my base.

Having learned her lesson from the previous experience, she now pays special attention to roles like mentor and so on.

She used to think that a rabbit wouldn't eat the grass near its burrow, and that her master or grandmaster would never harm their disciple. However, reality gave her a harsh slap in the face, and the answer she received after asking her elders was even more shocking.

—A master-disciple bond? Isn't that a normal thing? If you can't find a Daoist partner, you can raise one yourself. Watching someone grow up step by step will always make you closer than someone from outside. If you can't find any grass, you can eat the grass near your nest. There's nothing shameful about it.

I'll strike first!

The Human Emperor Palace has requested a marriage alliance with the Xuan Tian Sect, and you have designated Bai Yi, a disciple of Tian Xuan Peak, as your marriage partner.

Chapter 100, The Death of Bai Yi

Marriage alliances refer to establishing kinship ties to achieve certain exchanges of benefits or to cooperate with each other.

The marriage alliance between the Human Emperor Palace and the Xuantian Sect is not incomprehensible.

Although the Human Emperor Palace is nominally the leader of the human race, it has not appeared in public for nearly a thousand years. Whether it is recruiting disciples or anything else, it is all done in private. Even when disciples go out to train, they are all in the form of independent cultivators or even small sects.

It represents more of a spiritual symbol, but if the Human Emperor Palace really intends to do something in the Central Continent, especially if it infringes on the interests of many immortal sects, it will inevitably face many obstacles. Therefore, even the Human Emperor Palace, which is nominally the leader of the human immortal sects, has to rely on the power of powerful immortal sects.

Just as an emperor may hold a high position and wield great power, what can he accomplish without the assistance of powerful families, local kings, and ministers?

A marriage alliance? You want to find me?

Bai Yi, who was counting the spoils he had obtained from the Demon Palace, was stunned when he heard the news. He found it unbelievable and then coughed awkwardly twice.

His own master was still standing there.

However, since it was the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master of the Human Emperor Palace who proposed the marriage alliance together, they should at least be given some face.

"If we really want to form a marriage alliance, there are clearly more suitable people than me. It would be better to have the Holy Son and Holy Daughter marry than to find someone like me who has no reputation or connections in the Xuan Tian Sect."

"The Human Emperor Palace has no Holy Son, and as far as I know, your Xuantian Sect doesn't seem to have one either."

“…”

I completely forgot about that!

Bai Yi had always been curious as to why the Xuantian Sect did not have a Holy Son, and in the two years of the simulation, he found the answer to this question.

It's purely because those elders think they are the Holy Son, after all, they are the sect leader's disciple.

At first, he felt that as the sect leader's personal disciple, his status was even higher than that of the Holy Son. Later, he felt that he was the reincarnation of the Xuan Tian Emperor, so how dare they assign him the title of Holy Son? He was just tired of living.

Who suggested giving the founding patriarch of a sect the status of a holy son? You'll see if the other elders will even burn your family tree.

Although Bai Yi tried to explain to these elders that he was not the Xuan Tian Emperor, it only deepened their misunderstanding.

Seeing Bai Yi hesitate, Qiu Ya, the deputy palace master of the Human Emperor Palace, stepped forward and explained earnestly, "Although the palace master and I are happy to acknowledge your identity as the Human Emperor, you are ultimately not a member of the Human Emperor Palace. Even if you wield the Human Emperor Sword, you still cannot command respect. However, if you can marry my daughter, all these problems will be easily solved. With the two highest-ranking people in the Human Emperor Palace as your backers, I believe that within a few years, you will be able to control the entire Human Emperor Palace."

"In addition, we can also assist you in taking control of the Xuantian Sect. Whether you need spirit stones, rare treasures, or protectors, we can provide assistance. With the help of your master and us, it is only a matter of time before you become the new sect master of the Xuantian Sect."

"A Human Emperor who simultaneously governs the Xuantian Sect and the Human Emperor Palace would likely be better off than one who only governs the Xuantian Sect. Of course, you don't need to give up everything you have in the Xuantian Sect. You can still stay in the Xuantian Sect. You just need to acknowledge this marriage alliance and your fiancée."

Having been through similar experiences, she knew very well how impetuous these young people were. It was impossible for them to suddenly accept a marriage and love, or even leave their sect. So she simply didn't make too many demands. She only asked Bai Yi to acknowledge the marriage and that Qiu Yuelian was his fiancée.

First, establish the relationship; feelings can be cultivated later.

If she, as the mother, has already given such a helping hand, and her daughter still can't grasp the opportunity, then it can only be said that this child is not destined for the Qiu family.

"That's a very good suggestion, but I'm declining it."

Bai Yicai had no intention of getting married. He had already decided to be a ruthless man and would not casually flirt with other women.

If you knowingly flirt with Qiu Yuelian, who is a simulation player, what will happen when she gets all the simulation memories as a reward?

[You rejected the marriage proposal from the Human Emperor's Palace without the slightest hesitation, which further enhanced Qiu Ya's opinion of you. She believes you are someone who is not easily swayed by personal gain, and such a person, once chosen to be with someone, will be extremely loyal to love and will never easily betray them.]

The destruction of the Demon Palace was a humiliating defeat for the ancient demon race. Knowing that the human race might be about to retaliate, many ancient demons temporarily chose to keep a low profile, not daring to overstep their bounds. But you understand that you can't show the slightest mercy to wild beasts; you must defeat them until they are utterly terrified of you.

"Even the fiercest beast knows a shred of compassion, but I know no compassion. Therefore, I am not a beast, but a being more terrifying than beasts, more terrifying than demons!"

[Because the ancient demon race is scattered across the eight continents excluding Zhongzhou, such as Xuanzhou, Yingzhou, and Jukuzhou, their dispersed nature makes them difficult to eradicate. Furthermore, their consensus with various local immortal sects makes the complete extermination of the ancient demon race and their expulsion from Zhongzhou extremely difficult. Therefore, under your guidance, the human race and the ancient demon race have entered into an agreement: high-level combat forces must not interfere, otherwise both sides will face a mutually destructive outcome.]

"The more critical the moment, the more severe the punishment! Besides, the ancient demon race was never part of our human race, so there's no need to hold back. Those who invade our Nine Provinces territory will be crushed! Either they obediently follow our human race's rules and crawl along, waiting hundreds or thousands of years to integrate into the human race and become a part of the Nine Provinces, or they die!"

[To make the ancient demon race understand the consequences of unilaterally breaking the agreement, once it is discovered that an elder of the ancient demon race has participated in the struggle of a junior, even if it is only by releasing an aura of intimidation, then the Human Emperor Palace will kill every single powerful member of that race who intervened, even the infants still in their eggs will be taken back by Huang Yaosan and fried with eggs.]

For a time, under the strict rules of the Human Emperor's Palace, the ancient demon races began to behave themselves. Even when a younger member of their clan was killed, the elders dared not retaliate.

[In the year 1148 of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, you broke through to the Fallen Moon Realm. Your power of reincarnation was also greatly enhanced after the battle at the Myriad Demon Palace. As a result, you developed new, stronger, more powerful, and more domineering techniques. The situation in the Nine Provinces is very favorable. Moreover, there are signs of an Imperial Weapon emerging in the Fallen Dragon Mountains recently. As the first sect to spread the news of the emergence of an Imperial Weapon, the Xuantian Sect naturally has its sights set on the Imperial Weapon in the Fallen Dragon Mountains.]

Knowing full well the treasures hidden within this secret realm, you decide to search for them. Whether it's Phoenix Flame Grass, camellias from the Enlightenment Tree, or other treasures, they will all be of great help to you. If you're lucky enough to obtain a branch of the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, that would be even better.

You gladly went there and found a great many treasures.
