Chapter 1042: You Can't Catch a Wolf Without Letting Go of the Child

The Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation isn't something that ends in a day or two, but for Qi Xiong, the length of time doesn't matter much.

After all, this Heavenly Tribulation won't harm him; on the contrary, it's quite comfortable.

Under the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, Qi Xiong actually had the mood to heat up a portion of dry rations and ate it happily.

Crack!

Several demon scouts in the distance, seeing Qi Xiong happily eating his dry rations under the Heavenly Tribulation, gritted their teeth in anger.

Damn it, really damn it, why doesn't this Heavenly Tribulation just kill this bastard?

"I'm so angry."

The lead scout shouted angrily, it was truly furious—why is this so, why is it like this?

Not only it, the other demon scouts were the same.

Look, is he even undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation? He's eating his meal, and wait—he even drank.

Perhaps feeling that just eating wasn't enough, Qi Xiong took out a pot of fine wine and began to taste it.

How could the deliciousness of Ye Zhangqing not be paired with this sip of fine wine?

Qi Xiong isn't exactly a wine connoisseur, but he doesn't dislike it either; when the mood strikes, a sip is quite pleasant.

"Ah, with the Heavenly Tribulation as company, fine wine and food—what more could one ask for?"

After a sip of wine went down, Qi Xiong couldn't help but sigh, unaware that far away, several demons had already gone red-eyed.

If it weren't for being unable to defeat Qi Xiong, and if they didn't dread this Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, they would have rushed over long ago to kill him.

Let them waste the day in vain.

On Qi Xiong's side, he was happily undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, while a host of demon emperors rushed here at speed, and inside the Dao Yi Shengdi...

Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, Wang Man, Yuan Cang, plus Wu Shou and Shi Song, etc., also gathered together.

"Have the demons started moving?"

"Hmm, it's said that a host of demon emperors, leading many demon experts, are rushing to the place where Senior Brother is undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation."

Such a massive move by the demons could naturally not be hidden from the Dao Yi Shengdi.

But regarding this, the four of Yun Xiantai showed not the slightest panic, as if they had known all along.

Even after confirming the news, Yun Xiantai spoke with a smile.

"It seems the fish has taken the bait."

"Taken the bait? What bait? Shīzūn, did you design this?"

"Otherwise, do you think that rebellious disciple went to the Demon Clan Territory to undergo his tribulation for no reason?"

"This............."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shou, Shi Song, Hong Zun, and the other disciples turned their gazes toward Yun Xiantai, which grew strange.

"It's not Shīzūn; that's your own disciple, our Senior Brother—are you using him as bait?"

Everyone naturally understood everything in an instant, but using one's own disciple as bait—is that a bit.............

"What's the big deal? You can't catch a wolf without letting go of the child; besides, hasn't everything already been planned?"

"I......... this.......... sigh.........."

"Though that's what was said, this is also too................"

"Alright, pass the word down; according to the plan, set out immediately."

Since the fish has taken the bait, Yun Xiantai and company also plan to act.

Although Demon Race Food Material has always been available, the quantity is small, not enough to go around.

So for now we still have to rely on Demon Race Food Material to tide us over; those demons have also become adept.

Nowadays, the Demon Race Food Material attracted daily by chunks of demon meat is dwindling; sometimes an entire day yields only a few pieces of Demon Race Food Material.

The Three Holy Lands all like to eat it; there's no way to divide it enough, not even enough to stuff between the teeth.

So, Demon Race Food Material still cannot be abandoned; for now it's still the main dish, perhaps later, after researching and activating the Demon Cave, letting the Human Race pass through it into the Demon Realm, will Demon Race Food Material become the main dish.

For now, it's merely a side dish to relieve cravings.

The Dao Yi Shengdi, up and down, had long been prepared; thus, at Yun Xiantai's command, many disciples of the Dao Yi Shengdi directly charged out of the Ten Thousand Demons Pass and entered the Demon Clan Territory.

"The Shèngzhǔ is being used as bait."

Seeing the disciples set off in succession, Ye Zhangqing wore a strange expression.

Both the Dao Yi Shengdi and the demons are rushing toward the place where Qi Xiong is undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation.

For seven straight days, the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation did not dissipate, and under its baptism, Qi Xiong glowed with a red light all over his face.

Besides, this Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation truly nurtures people.

Who knows what those who died in past Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulations would think if they learned of Qi Xiong's current thoughts—they might just go berserk.

"You dare call the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation nurturing? Can this thing actually nurture people?"

But in fact, for Qi Xiong, this Heavenly Tribulation is nurturing—just look, in these few short days, what has he become?

Even when the Heavenly Tribulation began to dissipate, Qi Xiong felt somewhat reluctant—how could it just disappear like that? The Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation isn't lasting at all.

But after all, the Heavenly Tribulation cannot be controlled by humans.

Even if Qi Xiong is somewhat unwilling, the Heavenly Tribulation still gradually fades away.

As the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, a host of demon emperors leading many demon experts rushed over and quickly surrounded Qi Xiong.

Seeing the sudden appearance of so many demon emperors and demon experts, Qi Xiong's expression changed as well.

"Damn, I was too lax in my vigilance earlier."

As for the demons, seeing Qi Xiong's face glowing red, they didn't look like someone severely wounded; each had a complex, unsightly expression.

"This, after surviving the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, is what the state should be?"

"This is no different from coming out of the Goulán— a face full of springtime pride; those who don't know might think he did something last night."

The more this is the case, the angrier the demon emperors become; on what basis, on what basis does Heaven favor them so?

Toward humans it's like this, toward us demons it's like that—this is really too much differential treatment.

Unconvinced, the demon emperors now angrily point to the heavens and shout, "Our demon race refuses to accept this!"

Stifled, uncomfortable, burning with anger, the demon emperors stared at Qi Xiong with red eyes, gritting their teeth and saying each word:

"Qi Xiong, you are already surrounded; today, whether you go to heaven or earth, you will surely die."

The killing intent in their eyes is utterly undisguised; today they will say anything to kill Qi Xiong.

Heaven is reluctant to kill you, not even willing to let the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation harm you in the slightest—then our demon race will do it.

If Heaven does not kill, our demon race will.

Hearing that, Qi Xiong didn't change expression, but he silently took out a teleportation array disk.

With so many demon emperors, even if Qi Xiong has broken through to the Great Emperor Realm, he cannot possibly be a match.

Thus he has little fighting spirit; Qi Xiong only thinks of escaping intact.

Just as the demon race's words fell, Qi Xiong was about to activate the teleportation array disk when, from all directions, many disciples, stewards, and elders of the Dao Yi Sacred Land surged onto the outskirts of the demon race.

Immediately after, the voice of Yun Xiantai sounded.

"Listen, demon race: you are already surrounded; surrender obediently and there is still a way to live."

Huh???

Hearing that, the demon emperors' expressions changed: "We're surrounded? Weren't we the ones who surrounded Qi Xiong?"

But turning their heads, they saw indeed that many disciples of the Dao Yi Sacred Land had already appeared on their outskirts.

"Why has the Dao Yi Sacred Land appeared here? Where are the scouts? The scouts responsible for the Dao Yi Sacred Land?"

"No news has come."
