Book 5: Chapter 25: On The Cang Sea
Ten days later, Su Xiangxue, who led her army to the imperial capital of the Demon Realm, held the enthronement ceremony in the imperial capital as scheduled.
Under the coercion of a certain man, each demon king sent envoys or participated in the ceremony in person. They all expressed their surrender to the new demon empress Su Xiangxue.
Then, the newly appointed demon empress, representing the demon world, signed a series of restrictive clauses with the leaders of the Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance in Nine Provinces and Ten Lands and spent another three months to fine-tune the domestic situation so that the opposition between the Demon Emperor Court and the twenty-eight counties of the Northern Demon became clearer.
At the same time, according to the patchwork map, Su Xiangxu’s people successfully found the specific location of the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor.
After doing these three things, she announced her abdication in the imperial capital and gave the throne to her half-brother Cang Huangyu.
“You have been in power for three months, and all three major things you have done are traitorous. Your reputation in the demon world may be stinking for thousands of years.”
On a flatboat in the ocean, Bai Qiuran joked with Su Xiangxue.
The two of them are on the way to the location of the First Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum.
“I don’t care about them.”
Su Xiangxue smiled indifferently.
“I am the joint elder of the Evil Alliance, the leader of the Kamasutra Sect, but not the Northland Princess and the Empress of the Demon Realm.”
“So carefree.”
Bai Qiuran paused for a moment, then said sincerely:
“Xiang Xue, thank you.”
Su Xiangxue’s face turned red, but she was immediately suppressed by her luck, and then she asked:
“Thank me for what?”
“Thank you for this trip to the Demon Realm for me, and thank you for all the things you have done for me since these days.”
Bai Qiuran touched his nose with some embarrassment and continued on.
“Hmph, I’m glad you know it.”
Su Xiangxue answered.
Bai Qiuran walked two steps forward and continued to drive the boat forward with infuriating energy. Su Xiangxue approached quietly from behind and stretched out her hand towards Bai Qiuran’s drooping palm, but finally hesitated for a while and still grabbed him.
The small boat was swaying in the waves, breaking through the waves, and then advanced dozens of nautical miles. Wise Immortal, who was hung around his waist, finally couldn’t help asking:
“Well, I can talk now, right?”
Su Xiangxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wise Immortal with a murderous look, while Bai Qiuran said without looking back:
“Yes, what do you want to say?”
“Oh Heaven, I can finally talk. Watching you two flirting is really suffocating me.”
Wise Immortal beeped:
“Why did the first Demon Emperor want to bury himself on an island in the sea instead of being buried in the demon world? What kind of calculation does it make? What does the prophecy circulated in the demon royal family mean… I feel like my thirst for knowledge has begun to boil!”
“After being quiet for a long time, all you can talk is such nonsense?”
Su Xiangxue said angrily.
“Then what? Can’t I vent my emotions?”
“Shut up!”
Wise Immortal closed his mouth sadly, but the atmosphere between Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue had been completely destroyed by him. During the next journey, Su Xiangxue never felt that charming atmosphere again.
I have to find an excuse to dismiss this skull in the future!
Su Xiangxue thought secretly in her heart.
According to the results shown on the map, the tomb of the first Demon Emperor was on an isolated island southeast of Cang Sea, several hundred miles away from the coast of the Demon Realm.
Although it’s not very far, traveling through this distance was still dangerous. Along the way, Bai Qiuran has killed several powerful sea beasts. Among them, there was even one Dragon Horse with some dragon characteristics, and its strength was comparable to that of a cultivator in the Deity Transformation stage.
These sea beasts were only a drop in the vast expanse of the sea, and the small territory that they have divided and occupied for dozens of miles was nothing at all.
In the depths of the sea, there were more fierce and powerful monsters, some of which could even swallow real immortals.
Fortunately, Bai Qiuran did not need to face these guys. The tomb of the first Demon Emperor was considered offshore. For some reason, there were no strong sea beasts around.
The small boat crossed the sea and finally reached its destination.
It was an island with a huge area that was covered with dense forests. In the center of the island, there was a mountain about several hundred meters high. There was the location of the Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor recorded on the map.
After slaying the two monsters on the shore, which may be guardian beasts, Bai Qiuran leaned on the shore in a small boat and boarded the island with Su Xiangxue.
The climate on the island was pleasant, and Su Xiangxue stretched out her beautiful body and took a deep breath.
“It’s really a pity that such a great place is used as a tomb for the Demon Emperor.”
She sighed.
“Soon it won’t be his tomb anymore.”
Bai Qiuran gave a thumbs up and said:
“If you can’t get used to it, just come and dig his grave together.”
“Yes.”
Su Xiangxue pushed Bai Qiuran and said:
“Let’s go, it’s all here, don’t be lazy.”
—————–
Half an hour after the two walked towards the mausoleum, another ship followed their course and leaned on the island.
This ship was several times larger than the ship Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue were riding in. It was attached with steel and looked very solid. The hull was also engraved with some formations.
After the ship stopped, a group of people descended from the ship one by one. The three ones who were most ahead were the White Crocodile King, the Eagle King, and the Flower King.
After the position of the Demon Emperor was taken away by Su Xiangxue, she abandoned it like a broken shoe and threw it to Cang Huangyu. This made them very annoyed, but they also understood that, let alone Bai Qiuran, even Su Xiangxue was not someone they could deal with.
So they chose to gamble, following behind Bai Qiuran, betting everything on the prophecy left by the first Demon Emperor.
“It seems that they have already entered before us.”
After landing, they found that there were no people near the beach, and the Eagle King said to Flower King.
“Flower King, leave it to you.”
Flower King nodded, her hands turned into a large number of vines, dug directly into the ground.
Only in this way could they bypass Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue who were walking the normal way, and arrive at the tomb of the first Demon Emperor first.
“It’s a pity that Black Snake King didn’t come.”
Watching Flower King’s figure gradually sank into the ground, Eagle King sighed:
“He is good at earth digging and Earth Escape technique, and he is sensitive. With him, we will get twice the result with half the effort.”
“Don’t mention that spineless trash!”
The White Crocodile King coldly snorted:
“He has betrayed us, he is no longer the leader of our West Demon.”
Eagle King touched his head in embarrassment without saying a word. At this moment, Flower King’s head emerged from the hole and said to everyone:
“I have probably found the location of the main tomb. Come with me.”
