To save the demon general who had been discovered secretly spying on the chosen ones of the fallen emperor, Jiang Yong relinquished control of the Fifth Legion. This was a tremendous price to pay!

The Blood God faction's Qinling headquarters has seven legions, each controlled by a demon general such as the God Chosen and Jiang Yong, and they are the headquarters' elite fighting force.

Especially the top five legions, all of which are God-chosen Exterminators, are the accumulated wealth they have built up over the years.

These five powerful legions were forged through countless wars and slaughters.

Each legion has over three thousand vampires, as well as battle-hardened and fully armed Chaos soldiers.

Undoubtedly, these five veteran legions are significantly stronger than the legions built by Red Fury and Blood Drink.

This represents the power of Jiang Yong and others; they wield the strongest force in the headquarters, the greatest power granted to them by Zhu Tu.

Theoretically speaking, the death of a demon general is nothing to worry about; it's not worth sacrificing an entire legion. Even considering years of friendship, Jiang Yong shouldn't have made such an exchange.

But Jiang Yong knew even better that to quell the anger of a chosen one, he had to show enough sincerity.

Otherwise, the cost of infighting between the two chosen factions would be even greater.

Emperor's Fall absorbed part of the legacy and troops of Red Fury and Blood Drinker. If they really fought each other, he could win, but how would he end it?
In particular, Red Fury and Blood Drinker are already dead, and the whereabouts of Slaughterer are unknown, so Emperor's Fall is currently the only chosen one in the main headquarters.
Before the Great Demon of Chaos appeared in the world, and before any chosen one ascended to become a demon, he was the most revered being here.

Should we risk angering the gods and replace him?

No way!
Within the Blood God faction, believers can indeed challenge the chosen ones. If they can kill the chosen ones, then the challenger becomes the new chosen one!
However, challengers must be at the same level; otherwise, they will anger the Blood God!
And who the hell in the same tier can beat the Chosen One? Do they really think everyone's a champion?

Therefore, Jiang Yong gritted his teeth and relinquished command of the Fifth Army Corps.

Li Yelai glanced at Jiang Yong: "That's not enough."

Jiang Yong's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Of course, Mu Ying has offended you, sir, and should be severely punished!"

"Shadow, dispel the psionic barrier."

Mu Ying's expression changed several times, but she eventually removed the psionic barrier around her.

Seeing this, Li Yelai waved his hand slightly.

As Li Yelai's first demon general, Baiya Demon General stepped forward without hesitation, smashing his double maces directly onto Muying's knees.

'boom'

‘click’

A muffled thud was mixed with the sound of bones breaking.

The shadow's left knee is bent inward.

Mu Ying's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down her face. Yet she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Even with the psychic barrier removed, his physical body was strong enough that Bai Ya's double maces failed to break his knees in one blow.

This is the difference between the five senses and the six senses.

Even though Muying could kill Baiya with a flick of his wrist, he was now completely at her mercy.

"White Cliff Demon General, activate your power. Shadow Demon General's physical body is very strong," a chosen servant said.

Bai Ya nodded, raised his double maces again, and the next second, spiritual energy surged, causing the double maces to slam down once more.

‘Crack! ’

This time, Mu Ying let out a muffled groan as his left knee was completely destroyed, smashed to pieces.

But Baiya did not stop. Instead, he raised his double maces again and again and brought them down heavily each time.

Under her attack, Mu Ying could no longer play the tough guy and soon let out a shrill scream.

His limbs were smashed to pieces. A dignified sixth-sense expert was unable to defend or dodge at this moment and was crippled by a fifth-sense expert.

When Baiya's double maces struck his inner thighs, he let out a strange cry and then fainted.

At this moment, Li Yelai waved his hand and said, "For the sake of Zhu Tu, spare his life."

"Thank you, Lord Emperor. Please get some rest," Jiang Yong said in a deep voice, bringing out the crippled screen.

They left quickly, probably intending to go back and treat Muying.

Then, the chosen servants immediately cleaned the room.

During this time, the Little Mad King continued to disguise himself as a maid, trembling behind Li Yelai, seemingly frightened by the scene, his face pale and pitiful.

But the other servants didn't dare to look at her at all. This maid was cherished by the chosen one and always kept by his side, so they dared not offend her in any way.

Instead, this prompted the White Cliff Demon General to let out a disdainful snort.

As a woman herself, she believed that standing beside Lord Diyun based on her own strength was far more noble than this maid who had offered her body.

Afterwards, the chosen servants bowed to Li Yelai and then withdrew.

At this moment, Little Mad King finally dropped his disguise and said to Li Ye, "Now there's no one spying on us. I've checked the room, and there are no eavesdropping or surveillance devices."

Li Yelai nodded: "That's good. I thought you were getting too into character."

“However, your reaction was indeed a bit too intense. Afterwards, those demon generals and servants of the Zhutu clan will target you. Originally, we only needed to continue our pretense, and that shadow would probably fade away soon. But now, the people of the Zhutu clan will definitely be very wary and hostile towards you.” Little Mad King frowned slightly. She believed that Li Yelai’s drastic choice would make his already unsafe situation even more dangerous.

“Keep pretending.” Li Yelai frowned as well: “How else do you want to pretend? You just took off my clothes, are you really going to serve me a bath? Or are you going to be naked in front of me, under that bastard’s watchful eyes?”

If he continued to pretend, Li Yelai didn't even dare to think about what would happen.

Given Little Mad King's obsessive nature, she really could do it.

She would truly play the role of a personal maid, offering everything to the chosen one.

Rather than that outcome, it's better to provoke Jiang Yong and his group.

This was also Li Yelai's choice.

Are you suggesting he pretend to know nothing and passively accept all of this? Using the excuse of making choices to infringe on his teammates' innocence?

How ridiculous! He's impersonating the Blood God's Chosen, not the Elysian God's Chosen!
"You know I don't care about that," Little Mad King said calmly.

“But I care! As my teammate, you at least have to cooperate with me!” Li Yelai’s tone was very serious.

“You’re really strange.” Little Mad King shook his head: “In order to carry out your undercover mission, you fought desperately against the siege of the Immortal Faction, the Black Umbrella Corpse Puppet, and the Champion Team, and almost died at the hands of that Cheese. If Cheese hadn’t noticed something at the last moment, she would have killed you with one strike.”

I was also acting on a mission, and I didn't care about so-called reputation or innocence, yet you oppose my actions. Does your value system place reputation and innocence more important than your life?

Li Yelai shook his head: "At that time, I had no choice, so I went for the method that was as perfect as possible. In the situation just now, there were clearly other options. Naturally, I had to avoid certain outcomes."

"And then, does the result become even more dangerous?" Little Mad King shook his head: "You always say I'm stubborn, but actually you're the very stubborn one."

The two had their first argument. They had different understandings and opinions about the principles of action.

Li Yelai wanted to preserve everything as much as possible, while Xiao Kuangwang believed that occasional sacrifices were inevitable in the course of their actions.

So Li Ye changed the subject, saying, "Alright, listen to me this time. At least we've gained command of the Fifth Legion, which is a pleasant surprise."

"He'll probably try to trip you up within the Fifth Legion," Little Mad King warned. "Most legions are personally trained by chosen gods or demon generals. Through countless wars, they've produced powerful vampires and honed terrifying veterans. That's the core of their legions. They won't let you take over the legion easily. They'll definitely give you some obstacles."

"It's alright. This can be considered tradeable capital," Li Yelai replied. "Besides, I have no intention of subjugating this Chaos Legion. Even if they nominally obey my orders, I can't let them protect humanity or the giant city. If necessary, I'll find an opportunity to wear them down."

Meanwhile, Mu Ye was placed on the operating table, and various drugs were injected into her body.

This caused him to briefly regain consciousness after he had been unconscious.

"My legs!" Mu Ye roared.

"Calm down, Mu Ye!" Jiang Yong said, "Don't worry, we have a lot of extraordinary medicines. Your legs are saved, and as for your right arm, let's get you a prosthetic. I'll get you the best prosthetic, and if we find an opportunity later, there's a possibility of repair."

"Damn it!" Mu Ye's eyes were bloodshot, and in his anger, he fainted again.

This made the demon generals sigh, for Mu Ye was a master assassin of the Netherworld Path.

Because of the doctrines of the Blood God faction, believers abhor sneak attacks.

Therefore, in most cases, he would infiltrate the enemy's high command, reveal his identity, and forcibly behead them.

Otherwise, it will incur the displeasure of the Blood God.

But having a master assassin fitted with a cybernetic body does have its effects. He'll likely find it much harder to infiltrate perfectly afterward.

This is also why many psionicists leave the front lines after becoming crippled.

Once disabled, the body loses coordination, and some abilities will be affected.

Therefore, within the official ranks of the giant city, many seriously injured psionicists eventually became clerical workers.

Don't underestimate the clerical staff in the processing department. Although they are clerical staff, they have all received military-style training.

Some of these clerical staff may have once been powerful clerks or night watchmen.

"Let's install the compatible version for him if possible," one of the demon generals shook his head. "However, this is also his own problem."

Although Mu Ying was instructed by Jiang Yong to monitor Di Yun, the fact that a master assassin of the Sixth Sense could be detected by someone of the Fourth Sense was clearly Mu Ying's own fault.

“No, we both know the strength of the Shadow Demon. It’s that the Lord is too special.” Jiang Yong replied, “I just asked some of the followers, and it seems that Lord Emperor Fall had sensed Mo Ya’s Blood Flies. Perhaps he has some kind of trump card to counter spying. If only we had known earlier.”

“We’ve lost an entire legion for nothing. I don’t know how you’re going to explain this to Lord Zhutu,” another female demon general said.

"At least I prevented the situation from worsening. And he can't easily acquire this legion either. His core forces are too weak. Even with the Demon General, there are only two at the fifth level of awakening. It will take a long time for them to gel," Jiang Yong said. "He will eventually need our help. At that time, we can regain the initiative."

"Everyone said he was easier to talk to than Red Fury. But then, over the slightest disagreement, he threatened to use our Lord's divine power." A demon general shook his head. "He seems so amiable, but he's still God's chosen one. He hadn't even finished his prayers and oaths; just two sentences were enough to cause turmoil in the Void Realm."

"Speaking of which, prayer vows are related to the character and desires of the person God has chosen. It's quite impressive to say that I will bear the responsibility."

"Alright, at least he's only at the fourth awakening level, though he's just one step away from the fifth. But ultimately, he doesn't have the strength and influence of Red Fury."

The next day, Li Yelai, accompanied by his servants and demon generals, arrived outside the headquarters' treasury.

It was a huge mountain that had been hollowed out, and a Sixth Awakening Demon General and an entire legion were stationed nearby.

Li Yelai's gaze swept across the legion, landing on a large number of blood-red crystal coffins. Through the semi-transparent coffins, one could see humanoid creatures lying inside.

They're all vampires!
These monsters, almost devoid of reason, are difficult to manage under normal circumstances. Their terrifying bloodlust makes them crave blood at all times.

Therefore, they must be kept in a specially made coffin to sleep in peacetime, and the coffin can only be opened when war breaks out.

In addition, there were a large number of fully armed followers. Their psionic levels were not high, with the highest being only at the third awakening level. However, years of fighting had already forged them into iron-blooded veterans.

Their weapons were also somewhat unusual; they appeared to be firearms, but the bullets were all blood-red crystals. They seemed to be special attack weapons specifically designed to counter psionic barriers.

Each person is equipped with a chainsaw sword or a molten melee weapon.

Such a legion is indeed precious; it must be ruthlessly consumed! Let the Blood God weep to death!
At this moment, the demon general stepped forward and bowed to Li Yelai: "Lord Emperor Yun, there is an old demon general in the treasure vault to guide you."

Li Yelai withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

The treasure vault is Li Yelai's real target!
This place has accumulated a wealth of resources, and it is said to preserve human technology that has been lost. If we could take it all away, it would be a great thing for humanity!
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yelai led the group to the entrance of the treasure vault.

A huge, thick metal door slowly opened.

An elderly demon general, clad in armor and wielding a black spear, stood inside the gate. Upon seeing Li Yelai, he bowed slightly and said, "Please, Lord Emperor Yan."

Li Yelai had seen all the demon generals who had been slaughtered, but he had never seen this old demon general.

Because this demon general does not belong to any of the chosen ones within the main headquarters.

His master was the chosen one from decades ago, Tiankui.

However, Tiankui was unlucky; after becoming the overlord, he was discovered by the passing champion team.

Then, a team breached Tiankui's base and killed Tiankui and most of the demon generals.

That's how arrogant the first team was back then!
It is said that only this old demon general survived; he returned to headquarters and became its guardian. (End of Chapter)
