The immortals looked at each other, all with faces of shock, confusion, shame, and embarrassment.

They didn't believe Wang Xiaoqiang could kill a Demon Emperor by himself. When they rushed over, they thought they would work together to surround and kill the Demon Emperor, but they didn't expect Wang Xiaoqiang to have already done it on his own.

They had gotten all worked up for nothing and now felt rather redundant, which wasn't just an awkward situation!

In the end, it was the Immortal Elder who broke the silence. He looked at the corpse of the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor floating on the sea like a giant wheel, shook the dust whisk in his hand, and said with immense satisfaction, "Hehe, Little Qiang, very impressive, you managed to kill the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor all by yourself!!"

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled sheepishly and said, "Immortal Elder, you're flattering me. If it weren't for your help, I couldn't have killed him alone. Besides, Little Qing deserves some credit too..."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he took Little Qing by the hand and flew before the Immortal Elder to introduce, "Immortal Elder, let me introduce you to a friend I just met. This is Little Qing. Although she is not an Immortal Hero, she is a righteous person. She came to the North Sea alone to kill demons and protect the people..."

Wang Xiaoqiang started to chatter on, while the Immortal Elder stared intently at Little Qing, his face turning serious and cold as he spoke, "Young lady, while your spirit in killing demons is commendable, don't deceive others. You are not human, you are a Spirit Beast!!"

The two words Spirit Beast carried a heavy weight, showing the Immortal Elder's anger, as he believed Wang Xiaoqiang was deceived by Little Qing.

Little Qing's face turned pale and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Wang Xiaoqiang immediately pulled the Immortal Elder aside and said, "Immortal Elder, actually, I know she is a Spirit Beast, and she told me herself, so there's no need to blame her. Besides, although she is a Spirit Beast, she has a good heart and merits for killing demons. Please don't hold it against her..."

"Hmm," the Immortal Elder nodded, "I thought you were deceived by her. If you already know she's a Spirit Beast, I'm not worried anymore, but she can never become an Immortal Hero."

"Uh, that's okay, Little Qing came to the North Sea solely to kill demons and didn't intend to become an Immortal Hero," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Little Qiang, with her limited Spiritual Power Cultivation, how could she help you kill the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor?" The Immortal Elder was puzzled again.

"Immortal Elder, you don't know. Although Little Qing's Spiritual Power Cultivation is shallow, her Spirit Art is very powerful. Even I am not as good as she is..." Wang Xiaoqiang lied.

"Alright, Little Qiang, stop deceiving me," the Immortal Elder patted Wang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, "Excessive modesty is just pride. Besides, now is not the time to be humble. If the credit for this Demon Emperor goes to you, you might rank first in this Supreme Ranking Competition!"

Wang Xiaoqiang was moved. Yes, now is not the time to be humble; otherwise, how could he get the ranking?!

He nodded but then said, "But, Immortal Elder, you helped too. How could I take all the credit for killing this Demon Emperor..."

"That was the pre-established rule. No matter whom I help, the heads of the demons taken down still count as yours..."

As the Immortal Elder spoke, he looked down at the sea, where the corpses of tens of thousands of demons were floating, their bodies broken and scattered with horrible death appearances.

Seeing this, the Immortal Elder was again slightly surprised and asked, "Little Qiang, these, these demons were also killed by you?"

"Actually, these are all Little Qing's credit!" Wang Xiaoqiang told the truth, but no one believed him!

The Immortal Elder shook his head and waved, "A tiny Spirit Beast, even with some strange spells and techniques, dealing with a single Demon General is already good enough, how could she kill tens of thousands of demons? This is a joke!"

Seeing the Immortal Elder's disbelief, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to insist, as arguing would only make him more suspicious. Instead, he said, "Um, you're right, but Immortal Elder, Little Qing indeed contributed a bit..."

"You seem to care about this Little Qing!" The Immortal Elder looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with a teasing smile, "But Little Qiang, you must remember, she is a Spirit Beast!"

"Yes, Immortal Elder, I understand." Little Qiang knew the Immortal Elder was kindly reminding him, so he showed an earnest attitude.

The Immortal Elder nodded and said, "Actually, Little Qiang, Guan Qingsi is quite good, hehe..." the Immortal Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "It's clear she cares about you..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart stirred at these words, and he subconsciously looked around for Guan Qingsi. When he looked at her, he found Guan Qingsi watching him too, her eyes filled with a hint of displeasure and grievance.

Is she jealous?!

Wang Xiaoqiang guessed in his heart.

If a woman is jealous for you, it proves she cares about you!

Hmm, it seems the Immortal Elder is right. Guanguan has always been worried about me!

Standing next to Guan Qingsi was Liang Yanfei.

At this moment, Liang Yanfei was saying something to Guan Qingsi while her big eyes kept darting between Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Qing, with an indignant expression.

At this moment, all the immortals gathered around. A dozen or so immortals suddenly said to the Immortal Elder with a look of realization:

"Immortal Elder, now I understand! The reason we were able to gain such an advantage in the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor's territory is that he moved his troops here."

The Immortal Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "Good that you understand. And you should also realize who was restraining those demon soldiers, right?"

Hearing this, the immortals all turned their eyes towards Wang Xiaoqiang, their faces showing expressions of confusion, admiration, and reverence.

The Immortal Elder pointed to Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "It was him, Wang Xiaoqiang, who restrained the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor and all his forces, allowing you to gain an advantage. So, shouldn't half of your credit go to Wang Xiaoqiang?!"

All the immortals nodded at this, none of them objecting.

Seeing the others convinced, the Immortal Elder then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, go chop off the heads of the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor and his demon soldiers, and string them on Dragon Tendon!"

Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, "Forget it, Immortal Elder. Everyone knows; it would be too much trouble."

The Immortal Elder replied, "Some people may know, but most do not. So for your achievements, no matter the trouble, you must do it."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded at these words and, with a thought, his four avatars descended to the sea to sever demon heads and extract demon hearts.

Wang Xiaoqiang also flew down, chopping off the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor's head, as big as a battle drum, kicking it into the air, the Dragon Tendon shaking as he tied a knot, securing the demon head, then stringing all the Demon Kings' heads on the Dragon Tendon.

Little Qing was still wary of the Immortal Elder and the immortals, not daring to remain in the air. She followed closely behind Wang Xiaoqiang, helping him.

As a result, Wang Xiaoqiang ended up with two Dragon Tendons full of demon heads.

After doing all this, Wang Xiaoqiang patted Little Qing on the shoulder and said, "Little Qing, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will dare harm you!"

Little Qing obediently nodded.

As Wang Xiaoqiang collected all the demon hearts from the Demon Kings and Demon Generals into the Sumeru Ring, the immortals above showed faces filled with envy and secretly sighed:

"This Wang Xiaoqiang is surely going to take first place, and on top of that, he's gained so many demon hearts. Truly a double harvest of fame and fortune!!" (To be continued.
