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

Ye Bing slowly approached, her gaze falling on the dying Shui Yuru on the ground: "Who is this person...?"

“The Holy Maiden of the Water Tribe, Shui Yurou.” Ye Ge’s tone carried a hint of doubt: “She is also a member of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races who are acting with us. Don’t you know her?”

Ye Bing crossed her arms over her chest and gave a cold snort: "How could this queen have the leisure to remember so many people's faces? Only you can remember so many girls' names every day."

"..." Ye Ge looked helpless: "I just have a good memory."

Ye Bing glared at him: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

"She's badly injured..." Xia Xiyao knelt beside Shui Yurou. "And she's been poisoned. Life-restoring pills probably won't work anymore. It's a pity Ye Zi isn't here. If this continues, I'm afraid she..."

"Um......"

Ye Ge crouched down thoughtfully, his fingertips hovering over Shui Yurou's pale neck. The instant he touched her skin, he keenly sensed a faint yet persistent aura of divine power.

Is this his divine power?

'Oh right...she was already my apostle before...'

'It seems she was saved by my divine power at the crucial moment, which deflected a fatal blow.'

Night Song thought to herself.

"Night Song, there's still someone alive here!" Nangong Qiuyue's voice came from the other side.

Ye Ge turned around and saw that not far away, the Wind Clan Princess Feng Zhiling was also lying in a pool of blood, her breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

The Heavenly Dao System scanned the panel and found that Wind Chime's status was not much different from Water Whisper's, with less than 1% of her life remaining and both of them suffering from poisoning.

'This toxin...could it be...?'

Ye Ge thought that if she used the Life Essence copied from Ye Zi, plus the wood attribute enhancement from the Azure Dragon's Holy Power, she should be able to keep them alive.

So he raised his hands and clasped them together with a "slap":

"Copy Ability - Life Bathing Spirit!"

A vast and vibrant azure dragon holy power surged forth from his body!

Emerald green light gathered and swirled in his palm, then transformed into two gentle yet vibrant halos, like the purest spring of life, gently enveloping Shuiyurou and Fengzhiling.

A halo of light flowed, and wisps of life essence began to slowly and steadily flow into the two women's nearly exhausted bodies, dispelling the toxins within them. Wherever the holy energy passed, the bone-deep, dark purple toxin melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun.

Nourished by the Azure Dragon's holy power, Shui Yuru's pale face seemed to regain a tiny bit of color.

With great effort and extreme slowness, she opened her eyes a crack, her blurry vision struggling to focus on Ye Ge's face. Her lips moved, her voice barely audible.

"Ye Ge...Sir..."

"Who did this?" Ye Ge asked, looking at her.

From her bloodied lips, Shui Yuru weakly uttered a few words: "Sun Wheel Clan... Muraki..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi raised an eyebrow.

After saying this, Shui Yuru lost her strength once again and fell asleep again under the holy light of the Azure Dragon.

“Muraki… it really was him.” Yoru was clearly not surprised by the result: “The poison they were ingested must be the venom of Hydra.”

Upon hearing Muraki's name, Ye Bing remarked casually from the side, "This Muraki, having had the Hydra Xiangliu possess him for so long, how come he hasn't been devoured by Xiangliu yet?"

“Not only did he not devour it,” Ye Ge said, rubbing some venom from the ground with his fingers. “But it seems his body is almost merging with Xiang Liu.”

Ye Bing was somewhat surprised: "Fusion?"

"The murderous aura emanating from him is becoming increasingly refined," Ye Ge said.

For most people, their bodies would not be able to withstand the power of ancient ferocious beasts and demons.

Jiang Xiaoming is indeed a special case. Although his extraordinary talent is average, his body is a rare and exceptional vessel for the undead. Xia Xiyao, on the other hand, is because she herself has a portion of the bloodline of a genuine descendant of the Chaos Clan.

If most other people want to be possessed by ferocious beasts or spirits of the eleventh rank or higher, their bodies will gradually be devoured by the spirits' death energy, eventually causing their physical bodies to completely collapse and decay.

Even many highly talented ghost tamers cannot control eleventh-tier ghosts.

However, it seems that Muraki does not have this tendency. Judging from the remaining fierce aura, the purity of Muraki's evil power has surpassed Jiang Xiaoming's, and is even close to Yao Yao's level. Moreover, it has been perfectly integrated with his own magic power and soul power.

This shows that his body has become accustomed to and successfully adapted to the power of the Hydra's spirit, Xiangliu!

'Am I right, Old Deng, the Azure Dragon?'

Ye Ge murmured to himself, glancing at a tall doll not far behind him, dressed in the Ye family's standard robe and completely shrouded in black.

The tall dummy dressed in a black robe nodded slightly.

"So, Muraki actually tamed the Hydra Xiangliu?" Ye Bing paused. "But why did he suddenly reappear here after disappearing for so long? And why did he kill so many Wind Clan and Water Clan members?"

"I don't know about that," Ye Ge said leisurely, gathering holy power in his palm to completely purify the hydra venom between his fingers, and then slowly stood up.

"Night Song." Su Yanling walked over at this moment: "Shall we continue?"

"Hmm," Night Song said, "Have someone make sure the Wind Clan princess and the Water Clan saintess are settled in, then continue the withdrawal..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Ye Ge suddenly paused, her pupils contracting sharply.

"What's wrong?" Su Yanling asked, startled.

Ye Ge sneered, "Hmph, alright... looks like it's going to be a bit difficult."

Su Yanling: "What...?"

Ye Ge closed his eyes and opened them again, his spiritual power spreading out like a tidal wave!

"Come out, Pope Mo Nanxi," Ye Ge said expressionlessly. "Now that you're here, why are you still hiding?"

"......"

The forest was deathly silent. The surroundings remained still for several seconds.

Then, a loud "thump" was heard!

Four powerful streams of Yin energy rose simultaneously from four directions!

Four jet-black pillars of light, entwined with dark purple runes, burst forth from the ground and shot into the sky without warning! The pillars pierced the clouds and then blossomed at the top of the sky, transforming into a massive, dark barrier that blotted out the sun and crashed down upon the entire forest!

The Yin Barrier covered an extremely wide area, encompassing Ye Ge, Ye Bing, Yan Ji, Su Yanling, Xia Xiyao, and the entire army of the Myriad Races Alliance behind them, as well as the entire forest landscape!

The soldiers of the Allied Forces of All Races cried out in alarm.

"What...what's going on?"

"It's a barrier! We're trapped!"

"Damn it, we've been ambushed..."

"They're from the Extreme Yin Cult!"

"..."

Night Song's gaze was sharp, fixed firmly on the thickest pillar of extreme yin light directly in front of him.

Within the pillar of light, a tall and elegant figure slowly emerged.

Mo Nanxi wore a magnificent black papal robe, her long black hair moving without wind, her blood-red eyes gleaming with a cold, divine light in the dim light. Her face was still breathtakingly beautiful, yet covered by an unapproachable papal majesty, cold and aloof.

Around her, hundreds more fallen priests of the Extreme Yin Sect appeared one after another, almost all of them were high-level divine magicians of level nine, ten, or even eleven!

The immense power of the fallen gods intertwined to create a suffocating pressure, like an invisible tide, enveloping the entire battlefield!
