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

Inside a magnificent, dark red palace in the Black Abyss.

A gigantic, three-meter-tall humanoid demonic creature sat on the throne in the palace, its face eerie and filled with evil.

The dark red, blood-like light from outside fell in, illuminating his terrifying demonic face.

He is the lord of this Black Abyss Secret Realm instance, the Black Abyss Demon Lord!

"I never expected that there would be human adventurers who dared to trespass into my territory, and even kill so many of my demon warriors."

The Black Abyss Demon Lord's voice was hoarse yet filled with majesty: "Truly courting death..."

At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and a handsome man in flowing white robes appeared in his hall.

It turned out to be a human.

Moreover, judging from his ancient attire and the ethereal spiritual energy surrounding him, he seems to be a cultivator.

"It's you?"

The Black Abyss Demon Lord lowered his dark red eyes and coldly snorted, "Why are you here again?"

The man in flowing white robes smiled and said, "Of course, I'm bringing you 'new goods'."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved.

A group of human children, bound and wrapped in ropes and nets, appeared in the main hall.

There were about thirty children inside the net, all with youthful appearances, mostly around seven or eight years old, both boys and girls. Upon seeing the Demon Lord's terrifying appearance, their pale, innocent faces all revealed expressions of fear and terror.

They were terrified, their small bodies trembling like leaves, but they couldn't cry at all, because Li Yizhi had sealed their tear ducts and vocal cords with his spiritual power before he arrived.

The Black Abyss Demon Lord glanced at it and smiled with interest: "Heh, you seem to be in a more hurry than I am."

"Probably no one would have imagined that Li Yizhi, who is showered with flowers and love in human territory and is known as the 'Immortal Hero,' would actually cooperate with a demon race like mine to improve his cultivation level! He's even willing to kill his own kin, hahahahaha..."

With one hand behind his back, Li Yizhi said calmly without batting an eye, "These children are just ordinary people without any extraordinary talents."

"Their lives will ultimately be ordinary, uneventful, and tormented by birth, aging, sickness, and death."

"Their existence will not bring any value to the human race or the future of the Empire."

“But if they become the stepping stones for my future breakthrough to the Apocalypse, then their value will increase more than a hundredfold, and they should feel honored for their sacrifice.”

"Hahahahahaha..." The Black Abyss Demon Lord laughed in a hoarse voice: "But your Moon Condensation Palace, haven't you received countless offerings from the common people, claiming to fight for them? You humans are indeed hypocritical! You are clearly more unscrupulous than our dark races, yet you insist on saying those high-sounding words!"

Li Yizhi smiled faintly, without the slightest shame: "Humans are inherently hypocritical. I just made a mistake that all humans make."

"Hmph..." The Black Abyss Demon Lord scoffed at him.

"The demon seed has not yet sprouted, and I have not yet found a way to make it sprout."

"However, the people you sent should be able to sustain the seeds for a week, and during that time they should produce some essence. I will keep a bottle for you."

Li Yizhi nodded gently: "I will come again in a week."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Senior Brother, it really is you."

A cold, clear voice then rang out.

Li Yizhi stopped and turned around to see a girl in a plain white dress, exuding an ethereal aura, walking out.

Xiao Yuxi appeared without a sound.

The girl's face was expressionless, but she felt a lot of complicated emotions.

A month ago, she noticed that her senior brother's behavior was abnormal and that he seemed to have a relationship with the demon race, but she had no evidence.

Unexpectedly, her senior brother, who had always been upright, gentle, and handsome, and whom she had regarded as a role model since childhood, turned out to be such a despicable and shameless villain!

Li Yizhi frowned slightly. The Black Abyss Demon Lord's expression changed slightly, revealing an expression of watching a show, and he said with great interest, "Oh? It seems that your junior sister has discovered your actions."

Li Yizhi let out a heavy sigh and shook his head: "I made a mistake... It seems I wasn't careful enough before."

The Demon Lord of the Abyss looked at him: "What do you plan to do now? Kill him?"

“She can’t die, otherwise the sect will be in big trouble, and Master will investigate to the end.” Li Yizhi said coldly, a celestial sword slowly forming in his hand: “It’s alright, you don’t need to worry about it. Let me deal with her, and then I will erase her memory, so she won’t ruin our plans.”

Xiao Yuxi's heart sank. She never imagined that the senior brother she remembered would say such a thing!

The person in front of me seemed to have become a complete stranger.

Or perhaps she had never truly known her senior brother before?

"Alright, then I'll just watch the show from the sidelines." The Black Abyss Demon Lord rested his chin on one hand and leaned his elbow on the armrest of his throne with a grin.

"Junior Sister." Li Yizhi, holding a celestial sword, slowly walked towards Xiao Yuxi, his voice cold: "If you behave as obediently as before, nothing will happen."

Xiao Yuxi's cool eyes were as clear as lake water.

Her facial expression remained unchanged, but the girl's heart was already torn apart.

The girl thought of Ye Ge, who had helped her earlier.

She glanced again at the cold man in front of her, whose face was expressionless as he walked toward her.

A boy with demon blood would take the initiative to help her.

But the senior brother who watched her grow up, who was like a brother to her and who was always regarded as a righteous immortal, wanted to erase her memories.

The concepts of good and evil blurred in her mind once again...

"boom--!"

The girl erupted from the silence, her eyes bursting with dazzling white light, and a powerful spiritual energy swirled around her like a storm, causing her pure white dress to flutter wildly!

"Ninth level of the Earth Realm!?!"

Li Yizhi's gaze darkened.

No wonder she is the holy maiden whom her master favors and values ​​the most.

At such a young age, he is already on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm!

Such talent is probably unprecedented in the tens of millions of years of human history!

"It seems you're not going to listen to your senior brother. Then don't blame me for being impolite."

Li Yizhi dared not be negligent and unleashed his fifth-level Heavenly Realm strength, fiercely wielding his sword as he charged forward.

The two engaged in a fierce battle inside the main hall, neither holding back whatsoever, unleashing a barrage of various magical techniques.

The Demon Lord of the Black Abyss was completely amused, sitting high on his throne watching the spectacle unfold.

Human infighting...heh, how interesting...

"Huh? You've already started group buying here?"

At that moment, a slightly childish voice suddenly rang out.

Yege entered the main hall. Her small body had two small pets perched on her shoulders. Her shy and handsome appearance made her seem harmless.
