Chapter 391 Emperor Xiao was granted the title of Champion Marquis, and Huo Qubing of the prehistoric times killed the Xihe demon tribe and was granted the title of Wolf's Lair.

Well, this statement has not been passed on to the human race. If it had been passed on to the human race, it would definitely have caused an uproar and angered countless humans.

Of course, this was only discussed among the demon clan, and outsiders didn’t know about it at all.

Bai Ze was silent for a while, then continued to ask: "Master Demon, in this war between the human race and the demon race, just because Ying Zheng stood up, we demon race will let it go?"

"Of course, forget it. Ying Zheng is not to be feared. What is feared is the witch clan behind Ying Zheng. Although the witch clan has kept a low profile in recent years, it does not mean that the witch clan is recovering quickly. All twelve ancestor witches have perished, but now in the ancestor witch hall, how many half-step ancestor witches have been born, no one knows, and no one dares to predict. It is even more difficult to know whether these half-step ancestor witches can evolve the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation."

"So we must be cautious with the Wu Clan. And our enemy has always been the Wu Clan. As for the human race, it is just a bigger stumbling block on the road to the re-emergence of our demon race, and we can kick it away at any time. For now, we should continue to let the human race be the buffer between our demon race and the Wu Clan."

Kunpeng's words were overbearing and arrogant. The implication was that the human race was extremely weak and the demon race could easily destroy it.

Bai Ze nodded silently: "What about Li Jiancheng?"

"A chess piece, he really thinks himself as my disciple. Could a disciple of mine, Kunpeng, be so stupid? Just use him to lead the demon tribe below the Golden Immortal to train well with the human race." Kunpeng sneered disdainfully and did not take Li Jiancheng, his disciple, seriously at all.

Ever since Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng and the demon Bai Ze made an agreement, this war between humans and demons has had rules.

Apart from the Daluo Jinxian under Li Jiancheng, no one else was allowed to appear on the battlefield. The remaining demon clan forces could participate in the battle, but without more Daluo Jinxians joining the battle, it could be considered as restricting the battle to a certain extent.

Therefore, this battle turned into a training battle between the demon race and the human race.

Whether it was the demon race or the human race, they all tacitly started the training battle.

Soon after Emperor Xiao returned to the military camp, he received a royal decree from an angel: "In compliance with the order of His Majesty, the Marquis of Wisdom Emperor Xiao is conferred the title of Marquis of Champion, the highest title of marquis in the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, the Marquis of Champion is conferred the title of Grand Marshal of Battle, commanding the southern frontier troops, guarding the southern border, and resisting the invasion of the demon race..."

"Reward the champion with a blessed land and countless resources..."

The imperial edict contains a lot of content, but the core only has three points.

First: Emperor Xiao’s previous title of Marquis of Wisdom was changed to Marquis of Champion.

Second: Emperor Xiao was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Battle, commanding the southern border troops, becoming a figure similar to Xue Rengui. Unfortunately, Emperor Xiao still needed to recruit and continue to connect with soldiers.

Third: Innate blessings and resources.
Of the three cores, the second and third were no problem to Emperor Xiao, and he could handle them all. But the first one, the Champion Marquis, really made Emperor Xiao a little embarrassed.

Although the Champion Marquis is only a marquis, his status is not inferior to some of the current duke titles. After all, the title of Champion Marquis is the first of the marquis titles, and it is also a proof of merit and bravery.

Especially in the human race, the only person who could get the title of Champion Marquis was Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. The reason why Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty got the title of Champion Marquis was not because he entered the Xiongnu lair and sealed the wolf's lair like in the historical version. Instead, he entered Xiniu Hezhou and slaughtered countless monsters who took root in Xiniu Hezhou. He even offered sacrifices to the heaven with countless monster corpses in the monster lair of Xiniu Hezhou.

According to the historical records of the prehistoric human race, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the power of the demon tribe in Xiniu Hezhou rose rapidly. These were originally the defeated demon tribes who fled to Xiniu Hezhou after the fall of the Demon Court. However, after countless years of development, coupled with the secret support of the demon tribes in Beijuluzhou, they once developed to the point of sharing Xiniu Hezhou with Buddhism.

The core reason why Buddhism at that time allowed the demon race to develop was that Buddhism at that time was also caught up in an internal struggle. Therefore, it gave the demon race in Xiniu Hezhou an opportunity to develop.

But Buddhism was not to be trifled with, so the demons of Xiniu Hezhou did not provoke Buddhism, but instead crossed the Liangjie Mountain and attacked the human race. At that time, the Han Dynasty was badly bullied by the demons of Xiniu Hezhou.

However, as the Han Dynasty passed down for many generations, it finally came to the generation of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and countless generals emerged. Among them, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were the most outstanding.

Afterwards, the Han Dynasty counterattacked the demon tribe in Xiniu Hezhou and defeated them several times. Later, Huo Qubing entered Xiniu Hezhou, slaughtered countless demon tribes, and finally attacked the demon tribe's lair in Xiniu Hezhou, the Juxu demon world. He offered sacrifices to the gods with the corpses of the demon tribe, and achieved the goal of Fenglangjuxu.

It was because of this battle that the demon clan of Xiniu Hezhou had their backbone completely broken, became unable to recover, and eventually fell into decline.

Huo Qubing's bravery and achievements made him the best general in the human race. His title of Champion Marquis became a title sought after by countless generals.

But now, Li Shimin gave the title of Champion Marquis to Emperor Xiao. This inevitably made Emperor Xiao excited, but he also felt that this title was inevitably not right.

After all, the title of Champion Marquis must be obtained by slaughtering countless monsters, or even severely damaging them. But how could Emperor Xiao do that? Although billions of monsters were slaughtered in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, those monsters were kept in captivity and could be slaughtered by anyone.

In the ancient times, although Emperor Xiao slaughtered many monsters, he never stepped beyond the border and entered the Southern Continent or the Northern Continent.

Emperor Xiao was inevitably embarrassed when faced with the title of Champion Marquis.

Emperor Xiao accepted the imperial edict, looked at the angel, and asked without hesitation: "Eunuch, what does His Majesty mean? With my current achievements, how can I deserve the title of Champion Marquis? This is Champion Marquis. Without sufficient achievements, my title is a complete joke."

"Lord Di Xiao, what are you talking about? You have guarded the southern border and slaughtered countless monsters, including many in the Taiyi realm. Then, with the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, you severely damaged the Golden Crow King of the monster race who was in the Half-step Daluo realm."

"After that, he used the Demon Emperor Sword to make Bifang, a Golden Immortal, bleed. Such an achievement is unique in the history of the human race... Therefore, your majesty discussed it with the ministers and sent a letter to Huoyun Cave to ask General Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing praised Lord Dixiao again and again and said that he was optimistic about your future. He even agreed to give you the title of Champion Marquis. So your majesty issued an edict to confer the title on you."

The angel mentioned Huo Qubing, and even said that the title of Marquis of Guanjun was also the result of Huo Qubing's agreement.

Di Xiao's eyes widened. "Are you saying that Champion Marquis Huo Qubing agrees to give me this title?"

"Of course!" the angel said with a smile, "General Huo Qubing has also asked His Majesty to pass on a message to you. I hope that one day you will be able to cross the monster's lair and complete the new Fenglangjuxu."
