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

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

A man dressed in a black robe with dragon patterns sat on the throne in the main hall, his deep black eyes exuding an imposing aura.

He is none other than Long Hai, the second emperor who rules the human empire on the current map of all races!

Duke Wang En stood in the main hall, bowing slightly, his hands clasped together and raised slightly, as if he were speaking.

“That’s how it is,” Duke Wang En said.

After listening in silence, Long Hai's eyes flashed with icy coldness: "I didn't expect that Chu Wanhe would be so useless. He was defeated by his son without even Ye Xiao having to lift a finger. What a disgrace!"

Duke Wang En said, "Old Master Ye Quan of the Ye family has already broken through to the eighth stage of the Heavenly Revelation Realm, and there are also rumors that Ye Xiao may also break through to the Heavenly Revelation Realm at any time. Now, the Ye family has produced a prodigy, Ye Ge, whose talent has even caught the eye of Principal Lan Mi, making him her personal student. If we continue to let this demonized family of Ye develop like this, I'm afraid it will ultimately be more of a disaster than a blessing for the empire!"

"Hmm..." Long Hai stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I remember, hasn't Lan Mi taken on any personal students for a very, very long time?"

“Yes,” Duke Wang En said. “Lan Mi generally does not accept personal students, but in the past, all the students who were chosen by Lan Mi have become the top super strong people in the human race, without exception.”

Long Hai sneered: "This Lan Mi, she clearly knows the Empire's attitude towards the Ye family, yet she still makes an exception to allow this little devil of the Ye family to enter the inner sect of the War Academy, and even takes him as her personal disciple. What exactly is her intention? Could it be that she has been bribed by the Ye family?"

Duke Wang En pondered for a moment and said, "This, I think it's unlikely... That's just how Lan Mi is. She's naturally eccentric and unpredictable. No one can truly see through her, and she doesn't listen to anyone. But since Ye Ge was chosen by Lan Mi through an exception, it shows that he does indeed have extraordinary talent that no one knows about. And this family war between the Ye family and the Chu family has precisely demonstrated his extraordinary abilities. As far as I know, Ye Ge didn't even lose a single soldier to take down Wan Jian City."

"Without firing a single shot??" Upon hearing this, Long Hai's eyes narrowed slightly. "How exactly did he do that?"

Duke Wang En replied, "I do not know either. This war started too suddenly and ended too quickly, so I did not even have time to find out the news. And everyone in Wanjian City is dead. No one knows what happened in the city at that time."

"According to my intelligence, Yege has been silent for two whole weeks, and there had been no movement at all."

"But just yesterday, he suddenly led his troops to attack Wanjian City. The entire battle lasted less than an hour, even including the time Ye Ge spent looting and transporting valuables and resources within the city. The time he spent traveling back and forth between the Ye family's and Chu family's territories was even longer than the duration of the battle itself..."

Long Hai gently stroked the dragon head on the armrest of the seat with his fingers, lost in thought: "Such a thing actually happened..."

It's indeed unbelievable.

Chu Wanhe was, after all, a swordsman at the third stage of the Asura Realm, and he had thousands of extraordinary warriors under his command.

Even against a family of demonized mutants who are most skilled in warfare, they shouldn't have been defeated so quickly, especially since Night Owl didn't even personally intervene.

"Your Majesty, I know what happened."

At that moment, a woman suddenly stood up.

This was a beautiful woman shrouded in black veil, with an exquisite face that could be described as breathtakingly beautiful and capable of captivating a nation.

Ji Lian, the only priestess of the Qin Empire!

"Oh? Priestess Ji Lian, you know about this?"

Long Hai looked on with curiosity.

Ji Lian said softly, "Since the day the Ye family declared war on the Chu family, I have been closely monitoring the situation of these two families and have sent out spies to observe their every move."

"Actually, I think Duke Wang En just made a mistake."

"The Ye family's attack did not start suddenly, but began two weeks ago."

Duke Wang En gave her a puzzled look.

Long Hai looked calmly at Ji Lian and asked, "What makes you say that?"

Ji Lian took out a bundle of scrolls: "These are the intelligence I have collected over this period of time. They are all kinds of events, big and small, that have happened in Wanjian City in the past two weeks. Your Majesty can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Long Hai raised his hand and grabbed at the air with his five fingers, and the bundle of scrolls flew into his hand.

Long Hai opened the scroll and carefully read its contents. His expression quickly became serious.

"Undercover agents, betrayal, public opinion, deserters..."

Long Hai paused, deep in thought: "Could it be...?"

“That’s right.” Ji Lian’s eyes were clear and bright, like a mirror, as if she could see the essence of everything in the world: “So many coincidences have come together, and they have occurred at such a critical juncture. I don’t think these are all coincidences.”

Long Hai narrowed his eyes: "You mean, all of these things were done by the Ye family?"

"To be precise, it's not the Ye family," Ji Lian said seriously, "but Ye Ge."

......

Ye Family.

Ye Ge sat on the bed in the bedroom, gently closed her eyes, crossed her short legs, and focused on her cultivation.

In his consciousness, he could clearly sense that the Demon Tree was rapidly absorbing nutrients.

Having plundered so many precious resources from Wanjian City, Yege had the Demon Tooth Beast carry all the energy-rich natural treasures back to the Demon Realm and feed them all to the Demon Realm Tree.

The Demon Tree's evolution points increased rapidly, and Night Song also broke through and skipped a level again.

He broke through to the Earth Realm in an instant and directly advanced to the third stage!

"Tsk tsk, having an auxiliary experience pool to feed experience is so great, leveling up is incredibly easy..."

During this period, Ye Ge covered a distance that would normally take several years to complete.

Normally, because he is still very young, the soul power nodes in his body should not have been fully developed. Therefore, human leveling up is usually slow in childhood, and it is very difficult to break through during this period.

By the age of fifteen or sixteen, the soul power nodes and meridians within a person's body are basically fully developed. The period from 15 to 50 years old is the peak period for the speed of leveling up.

The lifespan of extraordinary beings is very long. Some people are over a hundred years old and are still around the Thousand Soul Realm. They have basically lost their upper limit and can no longer advance in this lifetime.

But Night Song completely ignored this barrier...

If people knew that he had only broken through a few days ago and had already leveled up again, they would probably think he was some kind of monster.
