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

No one knew what Ye Quan had done; almost no one saw clearly before they all collapsed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen guards from the Ye family appeared.

They quickly pinned the dozen or so Asura Realm experts to the ground and completely subdued them!

The leader among the royal experts had regained his senses. The dizzying scene before his eyes gradually cleared, and he stared blankly at his current situation.

Weren't they just kidnapping Zhou Yuqing?

How did they end up in the banquet hall?

After a brief period of numbness, the leader quickly felt excruciating pain in his ear canals, and blood was constantly seeping from his eyes and nose. The nodes of his soul power seemed to have been shattered by some terrifying force, and his blood felt like it was burning. The feeling was extremely painful, like ten thousand bloodthirsty worms slowly gnawing at his veins, or like being thrown into hell and being roasted alive. It was a feeling that could only be described as worse than death!

"It seems this person not only dispatched troops but also arranged for experts to infiltrate my Ye family's banquet hall," Ye Ge said calmly. "After I exposed them, they've become desperate."

The leader gritted his teeth, being pressed firmly to the ground, enduring excruciating pain that burned his heart and gnawed at his bones.

He didn't understand what was going on. Where had the problem occurred?

At that moment, a pair of beautiful, scarlet eyes, like agate, suddenly appeared in his mind, completely occupying his entire consciousness!

"Could it be that..."

'Is it an illusion?!?'

The leader struggled to lift his head and saw a beautiful catgirl with scarlet eyes standing with her arms crossed and a cold expression below the Night Song stage.

Beside her, Leng Yuening and Nangong Ru were transferring their power to Bai Xueling.

'It was an illusion after all!! It created false perceptions and memories in them!'

'I was actually... tricked...'

The leader's pupils gradually lost focus.

Gradually, he lost consciousness again...

"Huh? That muscular man with the buzz cut, I think I know him!"

At this moment, someone in the banquet hall finally recognized the identities of these royal experts and suddenly exclaimed.

"Isn't that Wu Sheng? The leader of the Imperial Guard!"

"Hey, it really is him! I know him too!"

"The other people seem to be members of the Royal Guard as well?"

"Holy crap, this is really..."

"Isn't today the wedding day of His Highness Long Ying and Ye Ge? Why are members of the Imperial Guard here to assassinate Ye Ge?"

A series of puzzled and confused voices arose one after another.

Ye Ge said expressionlessly, "Bring the leader of these assassins here. I have some questions for him."

Wu Sheng, the leader of the Imperial Guard, was forced to kneel before Ye Ge.

Ye Ge said coldly, "I know you're in a lot of pain right now. You've been hit by my grandfather's 'Dark Devour,' and the torture will be worse than being torn to pieces. You'll become more and more miserable than death. If you want to get out of this quickly, I advise you to confess as soon as possible. Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

Wu Sheng was completely controlled by the Blood Spirit Illusion Technique. He feigned extreme pain, trembling as he said, "It's...it's His Majesty the Emperor!"

Ye Ge deliberately widened her eyes, feigning surprise: "What did you say?"

Various surprised voices rang out in the banquet hall, causing an uproar.

"You'd better know what you're talking about." Ye Ge's face darkened.

Wu Sheng: "It really is His Majesty..."

"Bullshit! The woman I'm marrying today is His Majesty the Emperor's own daughter. Why would he do such a thing?" Ye Ge said sternly, "You'd better tell the truth!"

“It’s true…” Wu Sheng was like a puppet on a string: “I am His Majesty’s imperial bodyguard. I’ve noticed that His Majesty’s recent condition is really strange. He’s always talking to himself when he’s alone… Then one time, I accidentally entered His Majesty’s bedroom and saw that His Majesty Longhai seemed to be talking to someone, but there was clearly no one in his room. Moreover, His Majesty Longhai’s eyes were faintly glowing with a purple light, and purple demonic energy was emanating from his body…”

The guests were taken aback by these words and gasped.

Purple eyes, purple demonic energy...

Isn't this a symptom of genetic mutation caused by being corrupted by demonic energy, about to be demonized and become a demonized human?!?

Ye Ge frowned as well: "You said he was talking to himself? Could it be that he has been bewitched by the demons' 'Demon Language' and has begun to turn into a demon after being seduced by the demons?"

The language of demons is a demonic ability used by both demons and devils.

Those who fall victim to this spell will hear the whispers of demons in their dreams for a long time. Their brains will be constantly brainwashed and tempted by the demons, and they will gradually lose their true nature without realizing it. If their willpower is not strong, they will soon completely lose their self-awareness and be completely controlled by the demons!

"Heavens! Could it be that our Emperor Longhai has been bewitched and controlled by the demons?!"

Xia Xiyao's father, Xia Xun, said these words at just the right moment, looking quite surprised.

The expression, the state, the tone... it was so vivid it could win an Oscar.

Ye Ge stared at Wu Sheng and asked in a deep voice, "So, the 300,000 troops outside the Southern Border are also His Majesty's men?"

“Yes,” Wu Sheng said. “His Majesty has been bewitched by the demons. His temperament has suddenly changed drastically recently. He was happily planning to marry Princess Longying to Lord Yege, but a few days ago he suddenly became convinced that the Ye family is a cancer in the empire and that their existence threatens the dignity of the court. Therefore, he wants to cooperate with the dark races to eliminate the Ye family and seize the research secrets of the Deep Blue System that the Ye family possesses.”

Ye Ge sneered: "So that's how it is. You're after the research results of the Deep Blue System... So you're just going to listen to him like this? Since you've already realized that His Majesty has been bewitched by the words of the devil and has begun to turn into a demon, making irrational decisions, you're still going to work for him like this?"

"His Majesty said that the dark races entered human territory to help us maintain peace. The real ones that need to be eliminated are the Ye family." Wu Sheng paused and said, "Moreover, we are just soldiers, and we are bound by a soul contract with His Majesty. He can kill us at any time. All we can do is obey orders."
