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

In a pavilion in Wanjian City.

Unlike Night City, Ten Thousand Swords City is a city-state with a distinctly ancient style.

To be precise, this is a city-state with a rich Eastern cyberpunk aesthetic. The architecture here has a classical charm, but it is also filled with a sense of technological fantasy, with ancient Eastern architecture and postmodern neon lights intertwined perfectly.

The City of Ten Thousand Swords is famous for its swordsmen, who revere martial arts and prohibit magic and supernatural abilities. People here, whether noble or commoner, mostly carry a sword, and each person's sword represents their status.

City Lord Chu Wanhe and Ye Shengxiong sat facing each other.

"I still can't figure out how Ruohua died at the hands of a mere brat who was only at the Profound Realm..." Chu Wanhe's eyes were gloomy, and the veins on his hand holding the teacup were bulging, showing his extreme impatience.

When Ye Shengxiong arrived in Wanjian City and found Chu Wanhe, the entire Chu family was almost driven mad with anger because of Chu Ruohua's death!

This played right into his hands, which was exactly what he wanted to provoke.

Chu Ruohua was the most talented prodigy in the Chu family in the past hundred years, yet he died so casually. Moreover, the Southern Border War Academy refused to give any specific explanation, only saying that Chu Ruohua died in the secret realm during the assessment.

The Chu family was naturally furious.

It wasn't until Ye Shengxiong arrived that Chu Wanhe finally understood why the War Academy refused to give an explanation.

Because the murderer actually became the personal disciple of Lan Mi, the most powerful magician of the human race!

Chu Wanhe was furious and immediately sent people to investigate Ye Ge's information.

With only a double S-level learning ability and being a little demon with demonic bloodline, how did she become the personal disciple of Grand Mage Lan Mi?! Was that headmaster blind?!

You should know that his son, Chu Ruohua, was originally the swordsman with the best chance of awakening as a "Soul Swordsman" in Wanjian City! He was his most promising successor!

Although Wanjian City is famous for producing swordsmen, it has not produced a Soul Swordsman for over a hundred years.

He had poured too much effort and resources into Chu Ruohua! He gave him four or five doses of learning power enhancement pills, fed him no less than twenty spirit gathering pills, forged the best sword for him, and found the empire's best equipment enhancer and enchanter to enchant and enhance his sword. He also sent him to the Southern Border War Academy, and with great difficulty, he became a core student of the War Academy and received the principal's "monster" rating!

Who would have thought that he would be harmed at such a young age!

Ye Shengxiong laughed and said, "Lord Chu, don't worry, I believe the results will be available soon."

"After my cousin dies, I will be the best successor of the Ye family."

"When I become the head of the Ye family in the future, we can have more business cooperation. I'll give you 20% of the profits then, how about that?"

"Oh?" Chu Wanhe looked at Ye Shengxiong curiously: "I remember that besides Ye Ge, you should have quite a few outstanding brothers and sisters, right? What makes you so confident that you can stand out?"

Ye Shengxiong laughed and said, "After Ye Ge died, I became the only student from the Ye family to enter the inner sect of the Imperial War Academy. Moreover, Duke Wang En promised me that he would help me obtain the position of the Ye family's patriarch."

Chu Wanhe raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he had gotten involved with Duke Wang En.

No wonder he, as a demonized mutant, was able to become a core student of the War Academy.

“Alright, if you can really become the master of the Ye family, then of course you can! After all, you helped me this time by providing me with the defense layout map of Ye City and a fake identity ID for Ye City.”

Chu Wanhe laughed, thinking to himself that he was giving up 20% of the profits, but he didn't know if this kid was naive or an idiot!

"Sigh... If only everyone else in your Ye family were as reasonable as you!" Chu Wanhe said with a smile on his face. "You see, we're not actually targeting you demonized people. Of course, we would gladly welcome and accept a demonized person like you who is reasonable, humble, and friendly!"

Ye Shengxiong also happily picked up his teacup, still delighted that he had made good relations with another powerful figure in the empire.

Indeed, only he could truly lead the Ye family to gain recognition from the other nobles of the empire!

Grandpa really didn't know what was good for him! That's why he handed the Ye family over to Uncle Night Owl, which led to the Ye family ending up in this awkward situation within the human empire!

"By the way," Chu Wanhe asked him seriously, "Are you sure the defense layout blueprints of Night City that you gave me are correct?"

"Of course," Ye Shengxiong said confidently. "That was given to me by my father. As long as I'm not discovered by the spies in Ye City, it will be a piece of cake for me to infiltrate Ye City and kill that useless Xuanjing cultivator, Ye Ge!"

After all, among the assassins Chu Wanhe sent this time were sword-wielding assassins at the Asura Realm!

Even Ye Shengxiong thought that sending a Shura Realm assassin to kill Ye Ge, a mere Xuan Realm brat, was a waste of talent.

"That's good......"

Chu Wanhe let out a breath.

He had his reasons for sending an Asura Realm assassin to kill a mere Profound Realm brat.

Because he absolutely cannot tolerate failure!

The Asura Realm assassins he sent this time were not only powerful, but more importantly, experienced.

Not only is there experience in killing, but also in handling the aftermath after eliminating the target, ensuring that no trace or loose end is left behind.

Chu Wanhe was well aware of the consequences if the assassination attempt failed or left any loose ends...

That was the Ye family's insane revenge!

That family is a group of war-crazed madmen who are feared even by the dark races!

Chu Wanhe didn't want to be targeted by such a group of lunatics.

......

The blueprint that Ye Shengxiong gave him was definitely genuine.

Unfortunately, what Chu Wanhe and Ye Shengxiong didn't know was...

Ye Ge's father, Ye Xiao, has updated the layout of the sentry posts in Ye City more than three times since the first day he officially became the head of the Ye family!

These undercover agents of the Night Family are like an all-pervasive net, covering every corner of the bustling Night City.

Below the Heavenly Revelation Realm, no outsider can escape their surveillance!

Unless the Ye family deliberately let them in.

......

Night City.

"Those kids seem to be going to the magic amusement park?"

A man shrouded in a black cloak, with bandages wrapped around his face and a gloomy gaze, stood in the bushes, staring at Night Song and his companions' car as it slowly drove into the magic amusement park.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the little brat from the demonized family would go to such a childish place."

Another assassin in black turned and asked, "Mr. Black Fang, shall we make our move at the amusement park?"

“Of course.” The bandaged, gloomy man slowly drew a gleaming short sword. “This kind of place is perfect for creating chaos and carrying out assassinations.”

"Let's go, and watch my signals later."

"Yes!"

Swah——

Swah——

Swah——

A dozen or so figures darted out from the bushes by the roadside.

Then, Leng Yue Ning, dressed in a purple fairy dress, silently floated over, looking at the backs of the assassins with a puzzled expression.

strangeness......

What exactly are these people here for?

He doesn't seem like someone with social anxiety.
