Hong Jiuquan was sent flying by the sword of the expert who had just completed the first stage of the Tribulation Realm, crashing into the city wall. He felt as if several of his ribs were broken.
Glancing at the wide-open city gate, the demon cultivator sneered, "You've lost, humans."
Hong Jiuquan knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth tightly.
"Now, go to hell!" The demon cultivator raised his sword and slashed at Hong Jiuquan's neck!
Suddenly, a beam of bright light descended from the dark, cloud-covered sky, illuminating the land!
The light was so bright that all the humans and demons engaged in battle instinctively closed their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a staircase descended from the sky.
The Emperor slowly widened his eyes.
Not only him, but also Qian Muyu and several other demon clan leaders behind the demon army were all astonished by this scene.
"What is that?" the patriarch of the Death Demon Clan asked incredulously, pointing at the staircase.
"A staircase descending from the sky, could it be that immortals have descended to earth?" the chieftain of the deep-sea demons wondered.
Not only the patriarch of the deep-sea demons, but everyone had the same thought the moment the staircase appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, slender figure slowly descended from the sky, stepping down the stairs.
Upon seeing the figure clearly, Xu Xinrou in the human army was overjoyed.
"It's Junior Brother Su! He's back..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Because she saw that Su Nian was holding someone in her arms.
To be precise, it should be a dead demon.
The Emperor frowned deeply, staring intently at Su Nian.
Why did this guy have to appear at this time of year?
Moreover, what made him look even uglier was that he actually sensed a strange power emanating from Su Nian!
This power is suspected to be the immortal power he has craved all his life but could not obtain!
As Su Nian slowly descended from the sky, the human and demon armies all stopped their weapons.
Su Nian's indifferent gaze swept over the thousands of demons and humans, and no one dared to meet his eyes wherever his gaze fell.
"You should all return to your respective territories." Su Nian's voice was deep and resonant, though not loud, it carried an ethereal quality that reached the ears of every demon.
The demons looked at each other in bewilderment. Without orders from Qian Muyu and the others, no one dared to retreat a single step.
Qian Muyu was also stunned at this moment.
He recognized her; the person Su Nian was holding was her sixth granddaughter, Qian Shudie.
Qian Muyu remained silent, and the other demon clan leaders also felt that things were very difficult.
They had witnessed Su Nian's terrifying power.
This guy is a genuine ninth-level Transcending Tribulation cultivator.
Apart from the Human Emperor, no one here can rival him.
But they were unwilling to retreat like this!
Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime. If we miss it this time, it won't be so difficult to attack Seven Star City next time!
Seeing that no one in the demon army gave any orders, Su Nian murmured softly.
Aren't you going to turn around?
Su Nian asked again.
His voice was unquestionable, and as he faced tens of thousands of demons, he slowly stroked one of his eyes.
"In that case, I'll help you get home."
Then, a tremendous spiritual force mixed with the power of immortals instantly enveloped the entire battlefield between humans and demons!
"Thousand Reincarnation Illusion Technique!"
After the mind control illusion landed, tens of thousands of demon soldiers had their pupils unfocused, turned around, and walked towards the Demon Realm like walking corpses.
All the human soldiers were stunned.
Yun Feifan was so shocked that he leaned against the city wall, his jaw almost dropping.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What is this?! Controlling tens of thousands of elite demon troops with a single thought! Is Su even human?!"
Not only Yun Feifan, but Jiang Yuxing also gaped open.
The Emperor stared blankly at the scene, his heart pounding involuntarily.
Hong Jiuquan stared blankly as the demon who had just cornered him turned and left like a walking corpse.
She looked up at the sky and then at Su Nian, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.
"The demon army that we struggled to resist with all our might, you can defeat with just a thought? Su Nian... just what kind of monster are you?"
After the demon alliance retreated, Su Nian also came to the ground.
Xu Xinrou walked towards him joyfully, ready to hug him and tell him how much she had missed him over the past three years.
However, Su Nian did not even glance in the direction of Seven Star City.
Instead, carrying Qian Shudie's corpse, he headed towards the Demon Realm.
Xu Xinrou stopped in her tracks.
She stared at Su Nian's retreating figure, slightly lost in thought.
Then her gaze fell on Qian Shudie.
She didn't know what had happened between the two of them, but she could feel his sadness from Su Nian's lonely figure.
"Junior Brother Su..."
On the other side, Su Nian had already brought Qian Shudie to Qian Muyu.
Qian Taotao appeared from the side and, upon seeing the already dead Qian Shudie, her mind went completely blank.
"What...what happened?" She suppressed her anger and asked Su Nian.
"I'm sorry... I didn't protect her well," Su Nian said softly.
Qian Taotao clenched her delicate fist, then relaxed it after a long while.
She stood before Qian Shudie, her heart aching as she looked at her pale, delicate face.
"She ran off to Kyushu alone because she liked you, and now you've brought me back a corpse?!"
"..."
"Su Nian, you...!"
Qian Taotao wanted to scold her a few more times, but when she saw that Su Nian's eyes were dull and lifeless, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
She took Qian Shudie from Su Nian's arms, turned around, and said coldly, "Go back! Human!"
However, Su Nian remained standing in place, without making a move.
The scene fell into complete silence. Apart from Qian Taotao, who was in a fit of rage, the other demon elders were all terrified.
The death of Qian Shudie meant nothing to them, but if they angered this immortal, they feared they would all perish here.
"Um... is there anything else, young friend Su?"
To prevent the situation from escalating further, Qian Muyu hurriedly asked.
Su Nian suddenly knelt down in front of Qian Taotao!
The patriarchs of the nine demon clans were so frightened that they almost knelt down together!
Qian Taotao turned around and glanced at Su Nian, looking puzzled.
Su Nian shouted loudly, "Heaven and earth bear witness! The sun and moon are my witness! Su Nian hereby earnestly requests to marry Qian Shudie! To hold that unfinished wedding again!"
Qian Taotao was stunned.
Qian Muyu's lips twitched slightly. He hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Young friend Su... are you sure? This is a ghost marriage..."
“I’m absolutely certain!” Su Nian raised her head, looking up at Qian Taotao’s dazed face, and said very seriously, “This was Shudie’s last wish before she died. I don’t want her to have any regrets even after she dies!”
