On the border between Nanping Prefecture and the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang, Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue only stayed for a short time before leaving with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

The old fox fled, Nangong Lie was forced back, and there was no point in them waiting any longer. In fact, there would be a considerable risk. If the Prince Zhennan noticed something was wrong and returned, they wouldn't be able to stop him in their current state.

After all, the strength of Prince Zhennan, Nangong Lie, far surpassed theirs. If they really fought, they would only face defeat.

The same went for the old fox. If he returned with the experts of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, it would be a very dangerous thing for Chen Yuan.

As for Jiang He, his Immortal Slaughtering Sword was taken by Chen Yuan, who planned to return to Praying Moon Mountain. Jiang He would also meet them there.

The battle to rescue Su Ziyue was now completely over.

Looking back, it was extremely difficult.

First, they encountered a Fox Clan Great Sage, and relied on the primordial spirit divine ability, Void Stasis, to turn defeat into victory. Then they chased him all the way, and at the most critical moment, they encountered Prince Zhennan, Nangong Lie.

If it hadn't been for Jiang He's Immortal Slaughtering Sword arriving in time, Chen Yuan's losses today would have been great.

However, despite the danger, the rewards were not small.

First of all, Su Ziyue was unharmed, and in a few days, she would be able to trigger the Tribulation of the Fires of Desire, and begin to break through to Spirit Refinement, adding another strength to the Dao Divinity Palace.

Then, he severely injured a Demon Clan Great Sage and stripped him of his fox skin.

Finally, he found another guy with destiny, although he couldn't kill him for the time being, or couldn't kill him, he wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves targeting him. He completely remembered the destiny on Nangong Lie.

He also thoroughly remembered today's enmity.

Even if there was no chance in the future, he would create one to kill this guy.

Also, this matter was beneficial to him. Nangong Lie didn't know that the Qilin Demon was him, but he knew that the enemy was Nangong Lie, which could be considered being hidden in the shadows.

Moreover, Chen Yuan faintly felt that Nangong Lie was a little strange.

He didn't kill a seriously injured Celestial Fox Clan Demon Saint, but instead attacked him. Such a mentality was too different from the Prince Zhennan who guarded the border. If it were King Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng, as long as there was an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Prairie Royal Court, he would definitely not miss it.

Chen Yuan completely remembered this point.

The first meeting with Nangong Lie was engraved in his heart!

Chen Yuan's return to Praying Moon Mountain was agreed upon with Su Ziyue, preparing to completely take down the Su family to work for him, which also made Chen Yuan sigh. Once a woman became ruthless, she would not show any mercy.

However, the Su family really only had this one path in front of them.

He knew the Su family's biggest secret. Even if he didn't take action, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan would no longer keep the Su family and would definitely find a way to detonate this pawn.

If Chen Yuan took the Su family into his command, it could also be considered saving them.

Perhaps, Su Ziyue had also anticipated this.

The Su family was a traitor to the human race, selling out many interests of the human race and secretly transporting spiritual medicines unique to the Central Plains to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, but even without the Su family, there would be other families.

Apart from the upper echelons of the Su family, the Su family disciples below simply didn't know their identities. It was impossible to keep all of them. A batch had to be eliminated, and the remaining people would use their remaining lives to repent for their sins, until… the new Su family members were reborn.

Su Ziyue was one of the two highest-ranking people in the Su family, and she knew most of the Su family's martial artists very well. Those with conscience would be kept, and those who had truly harmed the interests of the human race or had done anything evil would be directly eliminated.

There was no room for mercy on this point.

Keeping such people would only be a disaster, and they might collude with those demons again one day.

Chen Yuan and the others chased very quickly, and they returned very quickly. When they returned to Praying Moon Mountain, the Su family members below were still carrying out the rescue.

Many Su family martial arts experts protected the family.

Su Ziyue and Chen Yuan hid in the dark, silently observing everything about the Su family.

"What to do?"

Chen Yuan handed the choice to Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue was silent for a moment, then took out a sound transmission talisman and said:

"Ancestor, this is Ziyue. I am currently on Praying Moon Mountain. If you don't want the Su family to be completely destroyed, you must return within half an hour."

After saying that, she didn't give the Su family ancestor any other chance to reply and directly burned the sound transmission talisman.

"Will he come back?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow. During the previous fight, he had personally witnessed the Su family ancestor fleeing in a panic, definitely not someone with a strong backbone.

"Although the ancestor is shrewd, he still has feelings for the Su family. Don't worry," Su Ziyue sighed softly.

"What if he doesn't come back?"

"There's still me, I can still control the Su family for you!" Su Ziyue said in a deep voice.

They came back specifically, not just to subdue the Su family. To be honest, excluding Su Ziyue, the Su family only had one Spirit Refinement ancestor left, and Chen Yuan could destroy him with a wave of his hand.

An old fox couldn't gain his trust.

But....

With the support of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, the Su family had an extremely strong intelligence network and peripheral forces in several southern states, especially Nan Prefecture, which was very useful to Chen Yuan now.

It could also help him obtain spiritual medicines from Southern Xinjiang through channels other than the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, which was of great use to Chen Yuan's control of the South.

Therefore, after hearing Su Ziyue's persuasion, he agreed.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath upon hearing this and didn't say much. He just reached out and hugged Su Ziyue. The sudden gesture made Su Ziyue's body stiffen. She looked up at Chen Yuan, but didn't say anything, exhaled a breath of air, and leaned into his arms.

......

......

Top of Praying Moon Mountain.

Su Ziyue and Chen Yuan stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting for the Su family ancestor to return. Half an hour had passed so far, but there was still no movement around.

After another quarter of an hour, a wave rippled in the void behind them. Chen Yuan slowly turned around and saw the Su family ancestor with a wary expression, holding a beast head crutch.

"Ziyue..."

The Su family ancestor glanced at Chen Yuan, then quickly retracted his gaze and quickly placed his eyes on Su Ziyue.

"Ancestor is late."

Su Ziyue said indifferently.

The Su family ancestor was silent for a moment, not answering this question, but instead asking:

"You asked me to come back... is there anything else?"

"I already said it just now. If you don't come back, ancestor, the Su family will be completely destroyed today, and the inheritance will be cut off."... "You... you are also a member of the Su family!" The Su family ancestor frowned.

"Precisely because I am a member of the Su family, I found a way out for the Su family. Sooner or later, working for the demon race will be exposed. Once that happens, the Su family will be completely wiped out.

Ancestor, you don't really think the promises of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan are real, do you? Do you understand that those who are not of our race must have different intentions?"

Su Ziyue asked in a deep voice.

The Su family ancestor sighed upon hearing this:

"The Su family members have Fox Clan blood in their bodies, what can I do?"

"Break away from the Fox Clan, return to the human race, and I will guarantee the Su family will be safe," Chen Yuan interjected at the right time.

"Who... exactly are you?"

The Su family ancestor looked up at Chen Yuan, seemingly not quite believing him.

"When the Su family completely submits, you will naturally know."

"Bai... how is that old fox now?"

The Su family ancestor changed the subject and asked instead.

A flash of light appeared in Chen Yuan's hand, and a piece of extremely high-quality white fox skin appeared in his hand. He smiled without saying a word, but the more he did so, the more the Su family ancestor could imagine.

Sure enough, the moment Chen Yuan took out the fox skin, the Su family ancestor's gaze instantly froze. He recognized this piece of fox skin as the one on Elder Bai's head.

Now that it had been skinned alive, its fate... seemed to have already been decided.

"Can I trust you?"

The Su family ancestor took a deep breath and lightly tapped the ground with his cane.

Chen Yuan put his arm around Su Ziyue and said in a deep voice:

"Su Ziyue will be my official wife in the future, do you think I can be trusted?"

Su Ziyue pursed her lips, did not struggle, and defaulted to Chen Yuan's words.

"Ziyue..."

"Don't worry, ancestor, Ziyue is also a member of the Su family. With me here, the Su family will definitely be able to continue."

"State your conditions..."

The Su family ancestor was silent for a moment and made a decision.

And currently, the most suitable choice in front of him was this one.

Submission!

The Su family ancestor was a shrewd man and knew that it was absolutely impossible for this person to let the Su family go so easily. There must be more purposes, so he could only gamble now.

The one who could kill Elder Bai was definitely not so simple.

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the Su family ancestor's understanding and said indifferently:

"First, you must let Ziyue inscribe a restriction in her primordial spirit for at least twenty years. Second, Ziyue will eliminate a batch of Su family members, and you will do it yourself, clearing out the entire Su family once.

Third, the Su family is a wing of the demon race and damages the interests of the human race, which is an unforgivable crime. Ninety percent of the family property must be handed over to repent for your sins.

Fourth, from now on, all the Su family's forces in the South will be handed over to Ziyue, as for you... just stay in the clan and retire."

Every time Chen Yuan said a condition, the Su family ancestor's face became more and more ugly. This was simply going to completely hollow out the Su family and transfer all his rights to Su Ziyue.

This was definitely a major change for the Su family.

"Ziyue..."

The Su family ancestor turned his gaze to Su Ziyue, hoping she could say something fair.

Su Ziyue: "This is what I proposed."

The Su family ancestor: "......"

"This... is a bit too much, isn't it? Clearing out the Su family is fine, submitting to you is also fine, but inscribing a restriction and handing over ninety percent of the family property, isn't it..." He wanted to bargain.

Chen Yuan directly interrupted him:

"From the moment you came back, the initiative was no longer in your hands. Moreover... do you think that without you, I wouldn't be able to control the Su family?

I can't trust you, and I can't trust the Su family. The restriction must be inscribed, otherwise I can only send you on your way. Also, if it weren't for Ziyue's pleading, just the Su family's actions alone would not be enough to be destroyed even ten times. Do you understand what I mean?"

"This..."

The Su family ancestor hesitated.

"Ancestor, this is the Su family's last chance. Only by thoroughly reforming can there be a chance for rebirth. Since ancient times, humans and demons have been incompatible.

The Su family was indeed forced to, but it is also a sin to inquire about news and transport spiritual medicine for the Fox Clan. It is already a blessing to have the current outcome."

"How can you guarantee that the demon race's revenge will not fall on the Su family?" The Su family ancestor said in a deep voice.

He knew very well that once the Fox Clan spread the things the Su family had done over the years throughout the South, it would bring a catastrophe to the Su family. The heroes of the Central Plains would attack them in groups.

"Kill a batch of Su family members to disguise them, and the remaining people will all leave Nan Prefecture. From now on, there will be no more Su clan of Praying Moon Mountain. Choose a place to re-establish the Su clan!"

"Where to go?"

"This... you will know later."

The Su family ancestor closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded:

"Ziyue, from now on, you will be the patriarch of the Su clan, and I will live in seclusion behind the scenes."

"Ancestor made a wise choice."

"I hope so..."

Then, the Su family ancestor relaxed his mind, and Su Ziyue inscribed a restriction on his primordial spirit. As long as he was not honest, a single divine thought could make him die on the spot.

"These and their various collateral direct lines are the list of those who will fall. I hope you will not be merciful, so as not to have other incidents in the future." Su Ziyue threw a jade slip to the Su family ancestor.

Let him handle this matter personally. He was the real person in power in the Su family, and all the Su family's forces were under his control.

"I understand."

The Su family ancestor put away the jade slip, even without looking at it, because it was meaningless.

"Can you show your true face now?"

The Su family ancestor looked at the black-armored man in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Chen Yuan nodded, and the scales on his body disappeared in an instant, revealing a handsome face, exuding an imposing aura, and one could tell that he had been in a high position for a long time.

The Su family ancestor froze in place when he saw his true face, his pupils contracted deeply.

The Su family's power spread throughout the South, so they naturally knew something about Chen Yuan, and had seen his detailed portrait, which left a deep impression. They recognized him at a glance.

Only now did he understand why this person had the confidence to protect the Su family.

He bowed:

"I have seen Marquis."

"Go ahead and get busy, Su."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

The Su family ancestor nodded slightly, glanced deeply at Su Ziyue, wondering when she had made acquaintance with this infamous existence.

Judging from the situation, it didn't seem to be short...

"As you command."

The Su family ancestor bowed and retreated.

When he was far away, Chen Yuan turned around again, his gaze calmly standing on the top of Praying Moon Mountain, overlooking the people below who were as small as ants, a panoramic view of all beings!

"After this battle, you should be able to reach the Supreme Ranking."

Su Ziyue suddenly said.

"Probably..."

Chen Yuan had chased the Demon Saint for thousands of miles, and there were countless onlookers on the way. The news probably had already spread to the outside world, and his situation as the Qilin Demon would probably also spread.

With such a record, it was very likely to reach the Supreme Ranking!

The Human Ranking had three hundred and sixty-five Hidden Dragons, corresponding to the number of Zhou Tian.

The Earth Ranking had seventy-two Winds and Clouds, corresponding to the number of Earth Fiends.

The Heaven Ranking had thirty-six Supremes, corresponding to the number of Heavenly Dippers.

But there were not many True Lords in the world, at least not obviously many. Most people could occupy a place on the Supreme Ranking, and he was no exception.

The only uncertainty was whether the people of the Ascending Immortal Tower could discover that he was actually a member of the human race.

If they put a title of Demon Clan Great Sage on him, his reputation for chasing the Demon Saint for thousands of miles would be gone, and he had to actively reveal some information.

"Do you want to reveal your true identity?"

Su Ziyue continued to ask.

"Hide it for the time being..." If the identity of Marquis Wu'an, Chen Yuan, was exposed, it would definitely alert Jingtai, and it would not be worth the loss at present.

However, he could first show his face as the Qilin True Lord, and if he revealed his true identity in the future, he would be able to achieve unexpected results.

"Okay..."

......

......

The situation that Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue had guessed was basically true. Only an hour after the end of the battle, many forces in Nan Prefecture and even the South learned the result of this battle.

The Demon Saint of the Celestial Fox Clan was chased and killed like a stray dog, causing the people to panic, causing a shock in the South.

And the most crucial point they cared about was whether the person who chased and killed the Demon Saint was a human race expert. If so, why was he covered in scales and had two horns on his head?

If not, why did he chase after him for thousands of miles?

Regarding this point, many people discussed it, some said yes, some said no, causing a lot of controversy. Afterwards, a Celestial Pill Grandmaster who happened to pass by near Praying Moon Mountain accidentally recorded the image of the True Lord-level confrontation with a treasure, which settled the matter.

Chen Yuan's propaganda methods were not needed at all.

The Ascending Immortal Tower intercepted that video at a considerable cost and sent it to the main building. After careful judgment by the Tower Master and many experienced elders,

The martial artist with two horns on his head was identified as a human race expert!

As for his appearance, which was very different from the human race, it was also explained.

It was the Qilin Demon that had been recorded in ancient books!

Whenever a human race martial artist devours and absorbs the blood of the Fire Qilin, a different beast, there is a high possibility of change, possessing extremely powerful power, but in essence it is just a change.

He is still a member of the human race!

As soon as this identification came out, it immediately caused no small disturbance.

As long as it was determined that he was a human race expert, then it was possible to measure and start thinking about the matter of this person appearing on the Supreme Ranking!

But this was a later story, and it was not mentioned for the time being.

On the other side, Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue were still on the top of Praying Moon Mountain.

Su Ziyue, who had been silent for a long time, said in a deep voice:

"In a few days, I will begin to refine my spirit."

"You have a deep foundation, and you have been trained by the Fires of Desire before, so it shouldn't be difficult to get through it," Chen Yuan comforted.

"Answer me one question."

Su Ziyue looked at Chen Yuan very seriously.

"Speak."

"Do you like me?"

Chen Yuan nodded:

"Of course, if I didn't like you, why would I come to Nanping Prefecture?"

"When did you start having bad intentions towards me?" Su Ziyue's eyes flickered, wanting to ask the reason, to see if she was the first to be moved, or if this guy was the first to be moved.

"The second time you saved me in Ping'an County." Chen Yuan still remembered the situation at that time. At that time, the powerful Su Ziyue was no less than a fairy in front of him.

However, the gap between the two sides was too large, and he could only suppress these evil thoughts.

Later, his cultivation became higher and higher, and he gradually had this idea.

"Why?" Su Ziyue's lips curled up, and a hint of joy couldn't help but arise in her heart.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly:

"Just because you are too beautiful."

Su Ziyue: "???"
