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

Chapter 516 The Mysterious Demon Army

When Yan Ji returned to the Demon Realm, she happened to run into the Netherworld Demon Lord, one of the Four Great Demon Lords.

"Demon Lord Yan Ji, it seems you've been going out quite often lately?"

The Netherworld Demon Lord appeared as a tall, resolute middle-aged man with bronze skin and demonic markings all over his body. Upon seeing Yan Ji, he teased her with great interest.

Yan Ji glanced at him and said, "What's it to you?" Then she left without looking back.

The ghost stared at the back of the proud and aloof woman with disdain.

"This woman used to rarely leave the demon realm, but ever since she went to the human empire, she's been constantly running away. Does anyone know what's going on?"

A demon subordinate approached and said, "According to my intelligence, the places that Demon Lord Yan Ji has been visiting these past few days are still human territory."

"Oh?" The Soul of the Underworld paused for a moment. "The only thing in the human realm that could interest this woman is the Azure Dragon Treasure. Could it be that she has found a way to open the Azure Dragon Palace?"

"This... I don't know," the demon subordinate said. "Because of the Deep Blue System and the Eye of the Sky, the human territory is now like an impenetrable wall, making it very difficult for our spies to infiltrate."

The Ghost said, "Hmph, it's just a small human empire. Lord Demon Lord should just order me to send troops to wipe it out."

Once we conquer the human empire, we can slowly study the Azure Dragon Palace, right?

"My Lord Demon Lord, there is another matter recently," the demon subordinate said.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Recently, several of our territories across the map of all races have been attacked by unknown enemies..."

The demon subordinate paused, then continued, "And what's truly bizarre is that these territories simply vanished after being occupied..."

"Disappeared?" The ghost raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"They just disappeared from the map." The demon subordinate's expression was complicated: "After those territories were attacked, our demon army went to provide support... but when we arrived, we found that the entire city had vanished, as if it had never existed. It was very strange."

"Such a thing is true??" the ghost asked. "Then why are you only telling me now?"

"Because the territories that were attacked were all very small camps, about the size of a small demon town, and not important resource points," the demon subordinate said. "Some surviving demon warriors who escaped back said that the army that attacked their territories seemed to be a demon army as well!"

"The demon army?" Minghun remained silent for a moment, his eyes gradually darkening. "Could it be the other three Demon Lords?"

The three Demon Lords do not get along well with each other; they are in complete competition, which is no secret among the demons.

But daring to openly attack the other party's territory is something that has never happened before!

"However, according to the demon warriors who escaped, this demon army seems a bit unusual," the demon subordinate said. "Although they have a strong demonic aura, they are a group of demonic creatures that I have never seen before."

"A demonic creature I've never seen before?"

"Yes."

"..."

After pondering for a long time, Minghun wondered if it was a secret army of mutant demons newly cultivated by the other three demon lords.

"Investigate this matter as soon as possible and find out who is behind it."

"Yes!"

......

A few more days passed.

Ye Ge has been in seclusion with Mu Jiannan for a week.

At this moment, he was sitting outside the bamboo and wood hut in the spot where his senior sister often meditated, his eyes closed in meditation.

【In practice...】

Congratulations! Your maximum divine power has increased.

[Maximum divine power +1]

Current Divine Power: 3/3

boom!

Golden light emanated from Ye Ge's body.

Golden aura surrounded him, and within that golden aura, one could faintly see ancient divine characters.

Ultimately, all these words, along with the golden aura, were absorbed into Yege's body.

Ye Ge opened her incredibly clear and bright eyes and exhaled a deep breath.

After so many days of cultivation, my divine power has only increased by 2 points.

Cultivating divine power is indeed much more difficult than cultivating soul power...

Mu Jiannan stood at a distance, watching Ye Ge from a place where Ye Ge could not see him.

'Such incredible talent...'

'In just one week, I was able to increase my divine power by 2 points.'

'This is something many gods probably couldn't do...'

Mu Jiannan pondered.

And there's the strangest thing about it.

Night Song comes from a family of demonized mutants and possesses the strongest demonized bloodline among humans. Her primal power belongs to the dark element.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for him to cultivate divine power and holy power.

But Ye Ge possesses both dark and light powers...

Mu Jiannan once asked his teacher what was going on.

But the teacher clearly didn't want to answer her at all, and said some incoherent things to change the subject and brush it off...

"How's Xiaoyege doing with you? You haven't been bullying him, have you?"

"Actually, if you want to bully him, you can totally do that. Even if Xiaoyege comes to me to complain, I'll definitely protect you~ So you can torment him as much as you want~"

"So, isn't the junior brother your teacher found for you handsome? My little Jiannan probably hasn't seen such a handsome man before, has he?"

"Why doesn't Xiao Jiannan answer my question directly? Could it be that he's really captivated by my Xiao Yege's handsome looks and gentle personality?"

"If my little Jiannan is in love, I can act as a matchmaker for you, please don't be shy to ask."

"..."

Mu Jiannan recalled the conversation between Teacher Lan Mi and her during the video call; Lan Mi's usually cold and aloof face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Teacher Lan Mi, really... after all these years, she hasn't changed at all...

after awhile.

Mu Jiannan approached Ye Ge and said calmly, "The sun has set, today's meditation practice is over, let's eat."

"Okay," Ye Ge replied, slowly getting up.

But the pain from the wounds all over his body made him gasp and grimace.

Mu Jiannan looked at his expression, paused for a moment, and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Of course," Ye Ge sighed. "If I had known, I wouldn't have beaten my senior sister that day. After that, her daily retaliation against me was truly ruthless..."

In the past few days of sparring, Mu Jiannan has shown no mercy whatsoever.

Although the same bamboo stick was used, three fingers were used instead.

Ye Ge's body is now covered with red welts that look like whip marks.

Moreover, the bamboo branch was imbued with my senior sister's holy power, and the wound wouldn't heal for several days, still burning with pain.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiannan looked somewhat embarrassed: "I didn't retaliate against you at all; it was just to help you improve faster."

......

morning!
