“Demon Empress Blood Butterfly, what do you mean?”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake’s expression was terrible as he gritted his teeth and asked, “This person only succeeded by ambushing me when I was unprepared. Earlier on, you said nothing but now, you’re defending him?”

It was understandable why Demon Emperor Mystic Snake was indignant.

After all, he was one of the nine Demon Emperors of the East Wilderness and dominated a region. His status was only below Die Yue and he had followed her for many years.

Now, a human had appeared out of nowhere and almost killed him, causing him to lose all face. Not only did Demon Empress Blood Butterfly not stand up for him, she was clearly protecting that human!

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake was not the only one. The other Demon Emperors could tell that Die Yue was protective of the purple-robed human and could not help but feel puzzled.

What was this person’s relationship with Demon Empress Blood Butterfly to be valued so much?

“I’m defending him?”

Die Yue raised her brow slightly.

“Isn’t that the case?”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake said in a deep voice, “If you hadn’t stepped in to stop us and we had a fair fight, he would have been a dead man by now!”

Demon Emperor Divine Elephant coughed gently to smooth things over. “Blue is invading on a large scale. We’ll talk about any conflicts between us in the future. Right now, we should resolve the external troubles and survive this calamity together.”

“That’s right.”

Demon Empress Nine Tails looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial, you’re here to help us after all. We’ll talk about any grudges in the future.”

“Fufu.”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake looked at Die Yue and sneered.

Although he did not continue entangling himself with this matter, it was clear that he was extremely resentful and even showed some disrespect to Die Yue.

Die Yue had a cold expression as she walked down slowly from her high seat and strode towards Demon Emperor Mystic Snake.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire hall turned incomparably solemn!

At that moment, everyone in the hall felt a terrifying pressure!

The Martial Dao Prime Body finally sensed how powerful Die Yue was!

Die Yue was not targeting him.

Even so, he could still feel tremendous pressure.

Even if he released the Martial Dao Purgatory and the Essence Martial Grotto-heaven together, he would probably not be able to defend against Die Yue’s power!

The difference was way too great.

If the Demon Emperors in the hall were only puddles and lakes…

Right now, Die Yue, who was striding over, was like a tsunami that surged over from the sea and could devour everything!

If that was the case for others, Demon Emperor Mystic Snake, who was in the middle of the huge tsunami, felt it even more intensely!

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake’s face turned pale instantly.

Unknowingly, he was already sweating profusely.

“You’re indignant?”

Die Yue arrived in front of Demon Emperor Mystic Snake and asked indifferently.

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake did not dare to raise his head and meet Die Yue’s gaze.

The terrifying aura emitted by Die Yue had already caused his body to shiver uncontrollably!

Before he could speak, Die Yue threw her hand out. Two round things rolled to the feet of Demon Emperor Mystic Snake.

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake was already trembling in fear. Any movement could cause him to panic.

Thud! Thud!

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake did not dare to go and see what the two things were. He knelt on the ground and said hurriedly, “I-I’m not indignant. I have n-no complaints at all!”

“Look at them.”

Die Yue’s voice sounded.

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake gulped and stole a glance.

Two charred heads!

Furthermore, they looked familiar, as though…

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake took a closer look and could not help but gasp.

It was Demon Emperor Tian Wu of the Tai Ah Mountain Range!

The other was Demon Emperor Zu Shu from Blue!

Die Yue said, “Earlier on, I said that Tian Wu colluded with Zu Shu and was already dead. However, I didn’t mention who killed the two of them.”

When they heard that, the expressions of the Demon Emperors present changed. They guessed a possibility and looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body instinctively.

“The two of them were killed by Desolate Martial.”

Die Yue extended her palm and caressed the top of Demon Emperor Mystic Snake’s head, asking, “Mystic Snake, how’s your combat strength compared to Tian Wu and Zu Shu?”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake shivered.

On the one hand, he was frightened by Die Yue.

On the other hand, he was frightened by the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake was only at lesser mastery of the Emperor realm and was an ordinary Emperor. His combat strength was similar to Demon Emperor Tian Wu and Demon Emperor Zu Shu.

If Desolate Martial could kill Tian Wu and Zu Shu, he could naturally kill him as well!

In other words, if Die Yue had not stopped him earlier on, he might have been a dead man by now!

“I-I know my mistake now.”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake said with a trembling voice.

The way the other Demon Emperors looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body changed gradually as well.

Initially, they thought that the reason why the Martial Dao Prime Body could restrain Demon Emperor Mystic Snake was because he caught the latter off guard.

From the looks of it, Desolate Martial was indeed capable.

“Blue is going to attack this time round. Are you going to take part in the battle?”

Die Yue asked.

“Y-Yes! I’ll definitely fight!”

Demon Emperor Mystic Snake agreed without hesitation.

“Get up.”

Die Yue patted Demon Emperor Mystic Snake’s head gently.

The terrifying pressure that enveloped Demon Emperor Mystic Snake dissipated as well.

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded to himself.

This was Die Yue’s capability.

Even without attacking, she could create a strong deterrence effect against Demon Emperor Mystic Snake!

“What about the three of you?”

Die Yue looked at Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea, Demon Emperor Great Peng and Demon Emperor Kui Niu.

Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “The location of the Tu Qiu Mountain Range that I’m presiding over is indeed extremely important and can’t be lost.”

Demon Emperor Great Peng and Demon Emperor Kui Niu found an excuse to avoid fighting as well.

Die Yue nodded with an indifferent expression and did not insist.

“Tian Wu is dead. Desolate Martial is the new Lord of the Tai Ah Mountain Range.”

Die Yue looked at Demon Emperor Divine Elephant, Demon Empress Nine Tails and the others. “I’ll have to rely on you guys for this battle.”

“Don’t worry!”

Demon Emperor Divine Elephant said in a deep voice, “We’ll definitely do our best. This battle is not only for the East Wilderness, but also for ourselves!”

Demon Empress Nine Tails sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness and said gently, “Sister Blood Butterfly, recuperate in peace. Leave this battle to us.”

Although that was the case, the Demon Emperors knew in their hearts that even without the appearance of a peak Emperor in this battle, the East Wilderness would most likely be doomed.

There were two supreme Demon Emperors, Demon Emperor Divine Elephant and Demon Empress Nine Tails.

For ordinary Emperors, there was Demon Emperor Bai Ze, Demon Emperor Heaven Thrusting and Demon Emperor Mystic Snake. Even if the newly arrived Desolate Martial was included, there were only four of them.

How could six Demon Emperors defend against the attack of Blue’s army?

“I hope that everyone will return victorious!”

Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea looked at Demon Emperor Divine Elephant and the others and nodded before turning to leave.

Demon Emperor Great Peng and Demon Emperor Kui Niu retreated as well.

The three Demon Emperors tore through the void and left Butterfly Valley, descending above the air of the Tu Qiu Mountain Range at the same time.

“Blood Butterfly should be severely injured and has yet to recover.”

Demon Emperor Great Peng said in a deep voice.

Demon Emperor Kui Niu asked, “Are we really leaving the East Wilderness and submitting to Blue?”

Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea said indifferently, “Blood Butterfly is severely injured and has yet to recover. Divine Elephant, Nine Tails and the others alone won’t be able to withstand this battle.”

“With the East Wilderness gone, it’s only logical for us to join Blue.”

“If they win… Let’s talk about it later. It’s almost impossible.”

Suddenly, Demon Emperor Great Peng sighed. “We’ve followed Blood Butterfly for many years after all. Now that she’s in trouble, I still feel a little bad for leaving her.”

Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea shook his head. “We’ve followed her for many years and guarded the East Wilderness. We’ve already done our best. She’s unwilling to submit and wants to fight to the death. I don’t want to die with her..”
