Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1365 Kahn's Shock

Inside the Demon Lord's Palace, it was dark and solemn.

After the four demon lords left, Kahn, who was sitting high on the Demon Lord's throne, did not get up.

Kahn rested his chin on one hand, his long, dark red hair cascading down his shoulder like a waterfall of lava. His slender fingers tapped the cold armrest intermittently, producing a dull, rhythmic sound, as if he were deep in thought.

The demonic energy swirling around the throne was like a living thing, rising and falling slowly with his breath, casting a suffocating shadow of oppressive power in the empty hall.

"Demon Lord," a demon envoy approached silently, bowing and asking, "Are you really not going to intervene in the war between the myriad races?"

Kahn didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone indifferent: "I've said it many times, I have no interest."

The envoy hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help saying, "However, it is said that the Azure Dragon Treasure contains the remains of the ancient sacred beast Azure Dragon, dating back billions of years. That is a legendary, holy creature. It is rumored that if a Soul Emperor realm expert could obtain it and cultivate using its power, they could potentially overcome the limitations of insufficient spiritual energy in the lower realm and break through to the demigod realm... Lord Demon Lord, you are currently eager to break through, why not..."

Kahn finally glanced at him, his crimson eyes utterly calm, his voice icy cold: "You think I haven't considered this? Legends are just legends. Before the Azure Dragon Treasure is opened, no one knows whether it's a treasure for ascension to godhood or a deadly tomb! If someone is truly willing to risk opening the treasure for us, with my current strength, if any sacred treasure that could allow me to break through to the demigod realm appears anywhere on the map of all races, I will be able to sense it immediately. Wouldn't it be easier to seize it then? Why wade into those troublesome waters now?"

The envoy was taken aback upon hearing this, but then a fawning smile appeared on his face as he quickly bowed: "So, Your Majesty, you have already planned this far ahead. It was my shortsightedness and my overstepping of bounds..."

"Hmph." Kahn snorted coldly, his scarlet eyes fixed on the towering ancient demon god statue in front of the main hall, and said coldly, "I want to know now who summoned that giant demon god statue in Crimson Dragon City that day."

He paused, glanced at the demon envoy again, and asked, "I asked you to investigate before. Have you made any progress since you returned?"

The demon envoy immediately grinned and said, "Reporting to the Demon Lord, I have returned this time because..."

He was speaking when his mind seemed to suddenly freeze, and his eyes became unfocused for a few seconds.

Kahn narrowed his eyes: "Already what?"

"Already..." The demon envoy paused, then came to his senses and said, "Reporting to the Demon Lord, this subordinate has not found anything."

"What?" Kahn frowned. "The commotion caused by that colossal demon should have been easy to investigate, yet you have no results?"

"Uh... it's like this." The demon envoy scratched his head: "I went to Crimson Dragon City and asked many people. Although the colossal demon statue caused a great sensation, it seems that no one knows how it appeared, let alone who its true incarnation is..."

Kahn stared at him with his scarlet, calm eyes, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Is that so...?"

Demon envoy: "Yes."

"Hmph!" Kahn snorted coldly, then suddenly reached out and slightly grabbed the demon envoy with his five fingers.

The demon envoy was startled, as he was suddenly pulled away by Demon Lord Cain from a distance.

He was instantly grabbed by the Demon Lord Kahn, whose large hand pressed down on his head, exerting a subtle force as if he wanted to crush his head.

"!!!" The demon envoy cried out in alarm, "Demon Lord! Spare me, my lord!!"

Kahn did not respond, his cold, dignified, and domineering expression remaining unchanged, but he did not continue to exert force on his hands.

Magic was continuously being injected into the head of the demon messenger from his hands.

"Uh—!" As magic was injected, the demon messenger gradually rolled his eyes.

Kahn narrowed his eyes.

He had just noticed that the demon envoy's eyes were a little strange.

At this moment, he injected magic into the demon messenger's head. The magic quickly flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness and rapidly circulated through every neuron in his brain.

He quickly realized something was wrong!

A powerful magical force lingering in the demon envoy's mind emerged and began to resist the magical force he had infused into him!

"really!"

Kahn gave a cold laugh.

However, just as he was trying to control the remaining magic, he discovered that it was actually trying to devour his magic!

Kahn's expression changed.

"boom--!"

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The demon envoy screamed and fell from the top of the Demon Lord's throne steps, crashing onto the lower hall floor.

"..."

Kahn's expression was grave.

After a long while, the demon envoy finally recovered and slowly got up from the ground, panting softly. He looked up with a bewildered expression and asked, "Demon Lord, what... happened just now?"

Kahn snorted and said, "Someone has cast an illusion on your brain, and you haven't even realized it!"

The demon envoy was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Me?? How could this be...? Impossible! I haven't fought anyone these past few days!"

Kahn remained calm and slowly said, "The illusion technique used by the other party is extremely sophisticated. With your cultivation level, it should be impossible for you to detect it. This kind of illusion technique will unconsciously change your memories and even your behavior and cognition, and you yourself will be completely unaware of it."

"!?!" The demon envoy was utterly astonished.

His body trembled involuntarily.

That sounds really scary!

"Who...who exactly is this person? After you emerged from seclusion, aside from going to Crimson Dragon City to investigate, I've been by your side the whole time..."

"..."

Kahn did not speak.

He was still replaying the lingering demonic energy in the demon envoy's mind, the energy that had tried to devour his own.

That magic was incredibly pure! Terrifyingly pure! Even more pure than his own, the Demon Lord!

I think I felt the same way when I sensed that colossal demon statue before...

"!" Kahn's eyelids twitched at this thought.

A figure immediately popped into his mind.

The college student dressed as a traveler in the giant tree forest!
