Demon Extermination Alliance Leader
The Divine Martial Great Emperor looked at Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, you should stay in my Imperial Palace for a few days first. Once we have united the major forces, we will head out together."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Alright, I will go with you all then."
Because of Li Yao, the Demon Lord would certainly not let Qin Yi off, so this Demon Lord definitely had to be eliminated.
Qin Yi was also very curious; even without a Physical Body, the Demon Lord could emit an aura that surpassed the Martial Emperor Ninth Level Realm. Just who was this Demon Lord?
Subsequently, Qin Yi was settled into a palace by the Divine Martial Great Emperor, while the Emperor himself personally visited the five great forces to inform them of the Demon Lord's danger.
Two days later.
The Divine Martial Great Emperor arrived at Qin Yi's palace with a heavy expression and said in a low voice, "Qin Yi, the Tianji Sect has been destroyed by demon Cultivators."
The Tianji Sect was one of the six great forces of the Central Continent, and its Sect Master, the Tianji Great Emperor, was at the Martial Emperor Ninth Level Realm.
Qin Yi asked, "Emperor, what exactly happened? Did the other forces not receive a distress signal from the Tianji Sect?"
The Divine Martial Great Emperor said somberly, "Not a single force received a distress call. Upon hearing the news of the Tianji Sect's destruction, the Sword Pavilion Master and I immediately went to investigate."
"We found lingering Devilish Qi within the Sect, and the corpses of all the Cultivators had turned into piles of white bones, with all the essence blood in their bodies drained dry."
Qin Yi's expression turned grave. He suddenly thought of the Purgatory Demon Emperor's actions back then—first cutting off the Imperial Palace's connection to the outside world, and then attempting to kill everyone within.
If he hadn't been there, the Cultivators in the hall might have also turned into white bones by now.
The Divine Martial Great Emperor continued with a heavy face, "In the Tianji Sect, we detected the auras of the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor and the Ghost Fiend Demon Emperor. It must have been the two of them working together that destroyed the Tianji Sect."
Qin Yi speculated, "They drained the essence blood from the Cultivators' bodies likely to prepare it for the Demon Lord; otherwise, three Devil Emperors wouldn't have acted at the same time."
The Divine Martial Great Emperor agreed, "I suspect the same. When the Demon Lord takes over Li Yao's Physical Body, he will likely need the essence blood of the Tianji Sect's Cultivators."
"The other four great forces all understand the gravity of the situation. Tomorrow, they will arrive at the Imperial Capital to assemble, and then we will head to the Blood Star Sea together."
Qin Yi nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, before the Demon Lord takes over Li Yao's Physical Body, we must kill Li Yao first."
The next day, in the Imperial Palace hall, almost all the forces of the Central Continent sent representatives. They understood the Demon Lord's danger; if he wasn't eliminated, he would threaten their own forces.
Dressed in green robes with sharp eyes, the Sword Pavilion Master spoke up, "Divine Martial Great Emperor, where is the Qin Yi you mentioned? Isn't he going with us to kill the Demon Lord?"
The Patriarch of the Luo Family, dressed in white brocade, also said in a deep voice, "That's right. Since Qin Yi could kill the Purgatory Demon Emperor, his strength must be above ours."
"With Qin Yi coming along, our success rate in eliminating the Demon Lord will increase."
The Valley Master of the Hundred Flowers Valley, one of the six great forces, as well as the Heavenly Thunder Hall Master, also looked at the Divine Martial Great Emperor with expectant gazes.
The Divine Martial Great Emperor smiled slightly and said somberly, "Don't be in such a hurry. I have already sent someone to notify Qin Yi."
The Sword Pavilion Master suggested, "Since our various forces are heading out to encircle the Demon Lord this time and there are many of us, why don't we temporarily establish a Demon Slaying Alliance? Once the Demon Lord is eliminated, we can disband."
The Divine Martial Great Emperor nodded and said, "I agree with the Sword Pavilion Master's suggestion. Establishing an Alliance will facilitate coordination between our forces and prevent us from attacking in a disorganized manner."
The Patriarch of the Luo Family said, "My Luo Family has no objection either. Having a leader to command will be beneficial for our encirclement of the Demon Lord."
Subsequently, the Valley Master of the Hundred Flowers Valley and the Heavenly Thunder Hall Master also had no objections, and the other forces in the hall followed suit.
A leader of one of the forces asked, "Sword Pavilion Master, the Demon Slaying Alliance has been established, but who would be appropriate to serve as the leader?"
At this moment, the Heavenly Thunder Hall Master's eyes flashed with excitement as he said, "I'll volunteer myself. Everyone is well aware of my strength; I believe I can be this leader."
The Divine Martial Great Emperor spoke up, "Heavenly Thunder Hall Master, your strength is about the same as mine. While not weak, you're not quite qualified to be the leader."
"I believe Qin Yi has the strength and could serve as the leader."
The Heavenly Thunder Hall Master retorted, "Divine Martial Great Emperor, I admit Qin Yi is powerful, but no one is familiar with him. We wouldn't feel at ease letting him be the leader."
The Divine Martial Great Emperor guaranteed, "Qin Yi's character is absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, Qin Yi is the successor of the Xuanwu Great Emperor. If you don't believe me, you should at least believe in the Xuanwu Great Emperor."
The Sword Pavilion Master agreed, "I trust the Divine Martial Great Emperor; he wouldn't joke about such an important matter. Besides, Qin Yi's strength is indeed the greatest among us."
Patriarch Luo and the Valley Master of the Hundred Flowers Valley looked at each other and said one after another, "I also agree to let Qin Yi serve as the leader of the Demon Slaying Alliance."
The Heavenly Thunder Hall Master let out a disappointed sigh and said, "Fine, then let Qin Yi be the leader. I hope he can lead us to successfully eliminate the Demon Lord."
Seeing that the five great forces of the Central Continent all agreed to let Qin Yi be the leader, the leaders of the other forces also expressed their agreement.
Before long, Qin Yi arrived in the hall.
The Divine Martial Great Emperor said, "Qin Yi, you've come at the right time. We've established a Demon Slaying Alliance, and we all trust you to be the leader."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "No problem, I will take on the role of leader."
Then, Qin Yi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone trusts me so much as to make me the leader, I promise I will do my utmost to eliminate the Demon Lord."
The Sword Pavilion Master nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Patriarch Qin, with your guarantee, we can rest easy."
Qin Yi said somberly, "We will set out for the Blood Star Sea now. We must find a way to eliminate the Demon Lord as soon as possible, before it obtains a Physical Body."
Then, the Emperor Weapon, the cang qiong disk, appeared beneath his feet and slowly grew larger. The Divine Martial Great Emperor, Night Scar, and the others also stepped onto the cang qiong disk.
With a thought from Qin Yi, the cang qiong disk flew toward the Blood Star Sea.
Immediately after, the other forces also brought out their own Emperor Weapons. They boarded them and followed behind the cang qiong disk.
The group headed toward the Blood Star Sea in a grand procession, their emperors might spreading out. The scene was incredibly magnificent.
The Cultivators below prayed silently, hoping that the people from the various forces could eliminate the Demon Lord and ensure the safety of the Central Continent.
