[As the Demon Lord, Bai Xichu commands a force of terrifying proportions.]
[Absolutely beyond what Heavenly Dragon Cliff could ever hope to muster.]
[For Ye Yu, this is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to ascend to greatness.]
[Agreeing to help Bai Xichu conquer the territories of other Demon Lords.]
[This would automatically categorize Bai Xichu’s subordinates as Ye Yu’s allies.]
[Their deaths would then convert into power for Ye Yu, forming the ultimate stepping stones to the pinnacle of strength.]
[Perhaps this is the true, proper way to utilize the "Dream Realm Simulation Talent."]
[In the future, the more territories Bai Xichu conquers, the greater the casualties.]
[And the stronger Ye Yu will beco.]
[Even the lofty realms of Demon Sovereign and Demon Emperor no longer seem unattainable.]
[Of course, this is rely theoretical.]
[The most important thing is to take the first step.]
[Moreover, Ye Yu conveniently inford the bumbling Sect Master, Bu Haoyan, about this battle.]
[He planned to bring him along for a piece of the action.]
[To be fair, Bu Haoyan harbored a deep-seated hatred for Bai Yongzhe’s territory.]
[Initially, he had grand ambitions to expand Heavenly Dragon Cliff’s influence and make a na for his sect.]
[Things went smoothly at first.]
[But who could have imagined that they would later face a siege from six sects?]
[Over ten thousand disciples and elders of Heavenly Dragon Cliff were slaughtered in the process.]
[Less than twenty managed to escape back to headquarters.]
[How could such a deep grudge remain unavenged?]
[For Ye Yu, this move also offered significant benefits.]
[He had not formally withdrawn from Heavenly Dragon Cliff and still held the position of elder.]
[This technically made its disciples and elders his allies.]
[When casualties arose, Ye Yu would still gain strength.]
[In this way, it was a double-edged strategy.]
[A guaranteed win.]
[After a brief period of preparation.]
[Ye Yu, Bai Xichu, and Bu Haoyan, along with a large demon army, reached the borderlands, ready for battle.]
[However, upon arrival.]
[They were shocked to discover.]
[The area was already occupied by tens of thousands of demons.]
[At their forefront stood a towering, crimson-skinned giant, three zhang (about 10 ters) tall.]
[This was Shi Nüe, Bai Yongzhe’s top general.]
[He was also a close confidant of Blackstone Monastery’s leader, Ge Linfei.]
[Since Bai Yongzhe’s demise.]
[Shi Nüe had beco the de facto ruler of this territory.]
[Seeing the massive opposing force.]
[Ye Yu felt a surge of excitent.]
[A battle involving tens of thousands of demons—this was his chance to soar to new heights!]
[How many cultivation realms could he leap this ti? Two? Three?]
[However, this joyous anticipation didn’t last long.]
[Soon, Shi Nüe’s actions froze the smile on Ye Yu’s face.]
[The towering demon suddenly knelt on one knee in a gesture of submission.]
[“I, Shi Nüe, am willing to surrender to Demon Lord Bai Xichu.”]
[With these words.]
[The tens of thousands of demons behind him also knelt, shouting loudly: “We submit!”]
[The unexpected scene left Ye Yu, Bai Xichu, and the others utterly dumbfounded.]
[What was this? They hadn’t even started the fight, and the other side was already surrendering?]
[Could happiness really co this quickly?]
[Ye Yu hurried over to Shi Nüe, disbelief etched on his face.]
[“What are you trying to do? Surrender such a pri piece of land just like that?”]
[Faced with Ye Yu’s questioning.]
[Shi Nüe let out a bitter laugh.]
[“Yes, it’s true. In Dongyao Province.”]
[“Bai Yongzhe’s territory far surpasses Bai Xichu’s.”]
[“Now that Bai Yongzhe is dead.”]
[“Even though I am not of the demon noble bloodline and cannot beco a Demon Lord myself.”]
[“I could easily find a legitimate Demon Lord to install as a puppet while I rule from behind the scenes.”]
[“I am fully capable of this.”]
[“But the reason I haven’t done so.”]
[“Isn’t because I lack ambition.”]
[“It’s because I’m scared. Truly terrified!”]
[Back when Ye Yu fought Bai Yongzhe.]
[Shi Nüe, as one of Bai Yongzhe’s generals, was summoned to the battlefield.]
[But when he arrived.]
[What he saw was Bai Yongzhe being instantly obliterated.]
[The blazing Bloodfire Skyfla didn’t just incinerate Bai Yongzhe’s body.]
[It also burned away Shi Nüe’s courage.]
[The giant demon had cowered in fear, not daring to reveal himself.]
[Fearing he would et the sa fiery fate as his master.]
[Since that battle.]
[Shi Nüe dared not oppose Ye Yu or Bai Xichu.]
[So, upon learning of their intent to attack this territory.]
[Shi Nüe decided to preemptively surrender to ensure his survival.]
[Many demons tried to dissuade him.]
[“Why lower yourself to this, my lord? Why not fight them? Victory is still uncertain!”]
[Shi Nüe decisively replied, “If you want to fight, be my guest. But I refuse!”]
[“Soone who can instantly annihilate Bai Yongzhe.”]
[“Who among us has the strength to face them?”]
[“I’m surrendering, end of discussion!”]
[These words imdiately silenced the opposition.]
[They knew Bai Yongzhe was dead but hadn’t expected him to be killed so swiftly.]
[This suggested the opponent was likely at the Demon King realm.]
[Such strength was unmatched in all of Dongyao Province.]
[And so, they too surrendered.]
[Thus, Bai Xichu secured Bai Yongzhe’s entire territory without spilling a drop of blood.]
[Now, she controlled two-thirds of Dongyao Province.]
[Yet, Ye Yu felt deeply dissatisfied.]
[Not a single ally had died—how was he supposed to progress?]
[This was outright sabotaging his cultivation!]
[Left with no choice, Ye Yu pinned his hopes on Bu Haoyan.]
[“Ti for revenge, brother.”]
[“An eye for an eye, blood for blood.”]
[“Don’t worry about losing; I’ll have your back.”]
[“You lead the charge.”]
[Bu Haoyan always trusted Ye Yu’s words completely.]
[“If you say so, sir.”]
[“Then let’s fight!”]
[Bu Haoyan, brimming with fighting spirit, prepared to rally his forces and wage war against the six sects.]
[But before he could even leave his headquarters, he received six letters of surrender.]
[The leaders of the six sects, including Kunxian Pavilion and Dunji Sect, expressed their apologies.]
[Claiming they had only acted under duress from Bai Yongzhe.]
[Now that the villain was dead, they pledged allegiance to Heavenly Dragon Cliff as its subsidiary sects.]
[Upon reading these letters, Ye Yu nearly collapsed.]
[What was this nonsense? They all surrendered?]
[How was he supposed to play at this rate?]
[Bu Haoyan was equally speechless.]
[He turned to Ye Yu and quietly asked, “Sir, what should we do now?”]
[Ye Yu, his face dark with frustration, burned the letters to ash with a flick of his hand.]
[He growled coldly, “Surrender now that you’re cornered? Not a chance. We fight!”]
