The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Huaye! Shut up!" The tiger-headed monster angrily reprimanded his subordinate Huaye.

"This humble servant, Tiger Warrior, begs Your Excellency to calm your anger. Hua Ye did not mean any harm..."

The tiger's beard, though seemingly a reprimand, was actually a reminder of the problems with the flowers and leaves.

Hua Ye suddenly realized his mistake and immediately knelt down, banging his head on the ground to beg for forgiveness: "It was my overstepping my bounds! Please forgive me, General!"

Seeing this, the spider demon also knelt down, pleading for her teammate: "This humble spider begs Your Majesty to spare Huaye's life..."

The Yuling Sect has a strict hierarchical system. For Hua Ye, a mere demon soldier, to inquire about the intentions of a demon general is an act of utter disrespect and disrespect.

This alligator dragon demon general was notorious for his brutality, and countless demon soldiers had died at his hands.

No wonder the three little demons were so panicked.

Chu Xiu said helplessly, "Get up. I, Tuolong, am not a bloodthirsty person. There is no need for this."

"I was ordered to come here, and my purpose is not much different from your mission."

Get up?

The three little demons were taken aback by what they heard and looked at each other in bewilderment.

When did this alligator demon general become so easy to talk to?

Could it be that he has been possessed by some powerful spirit...?

The thought only flashed through the minds of the three little demons before they immediately rejected it.

The spirits and monsters of Sheng Shenzhou are trying to avoid the Yu Ling Sect as much as possible, so how dare they come to the Yu Ling Sect to seek death?

"Thank you so much for your forgiveness, General!"

Tiger General quickly pulled up Flower Leaf and Spider Wisps, fearing that the capricious alligator dragon demon general might change his mind again.

"Go back... This place is no longer something that lowly demons of your level can handle."

Chu Xiu waved his hand, dispersing the aftershocks of the battle, and then looked at the three little demons:

"Do you want to go back on your own, or come with me?"

Tiger Warrior quickly replied, "We are willing to accompany you, General!"

Hua Ye and Zhi Zhi nodded in agreement.

This place is indeed not a safe place to stay. Not only are the people who destroyed the Dark Phoenix Sect hiding in the shadows, but there are also four forces that covet this place. With the abilities of the three of them, staying here will only mean certain death.

It is truly a rare and wonderful thing that a demon general is willing to lead them back to camp.

However, this crocodile demon general was not as obsessive, bloodthirsty, and capricious as rumored; he actually cared about a few lesser demons who were not under his command...

Even the alligator demon general is a mortal enemy of his superior!

Tiger Warrior glanced furtively at the Crocodile Demon General.

So-called rumors are indeed not entirely credible...

Indeed, how could someone who inherits the eternally renowned title of the Crocodile Demon General be someone who seeks fame and fortune?

"We must also inform the Demon General Lilong of the true nature and strength of this Alligator General... lest the misunderstanding between the two generals deepen further..."

Tiger Warrior's attitude towards the Crocodile Demon General grew increasingly respectful.

After witnessing the strength, spirit, and attitude of the alligator demon general towards lesser demons, he even believed that the infamy he was spreading was all slander by some petty villains.

But he could never have known that the current Crocodile Demon General was no longer "the original demon"...

Chu Xiu released his demonic power, enveloping the three lesser demons within it, and carried them straight back to the Yu Ling Sect's military camp.

Throughout the journey, he did not remove the effects of the Dragon Vein Possession and Star Soul Possession, in order to maintain the image of his strength as someone capable of instantly killing a Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm in front of these three clever little demons.

Given the personalities of these three lesser demons, they would certainly report that they had been rescued by the alligator dragon demon general.

Their superior, the Demon General Li Long, is extremely protective of his subordinates, and this incident will likely change his preconceived notions about him.

In this way, he will have a better chance to integrate into the circle of demon generals.

Otherwise, with an image like that of a rat crossing the street, which everyone hates, it would be difficult to walk around in the military camp.

After delivering the enemy's head to the main tent of the military camp in exchange for military merit, the three little demons bid farewell to Chu Xiu and returned to their own military camp.

Despite his bad reputation, the Crocodile Dragon was still a demon general and naturally possessed a large, exclusive camp.

After returning to his residence, Chu Xiu took stock of his current military achievements.

The merits gained from slaying the dragon lizard demon general have surpassed the military merits accumulated by the alligator dragon over the years, enough for him to make a trip to the Ascending Blood Pool once.

The remaining battle merits were exchanged by Chu Xiu for some high-grade purple pills.

However, what attracts Chu Xiu the most right now is the Blood Pool that can enhance the strength of his bloodline.

Due to the incompleteness of his demon bloodline, his strength and cultivation have declined considerably, and he can barely deal with ordinary demon generals by using two techniques of borrowing power.

Although he possessed the Dragon Demon Blade, which gave him the ability to fight against top-ranked demon generals, this was ultimately an external force, not something he possessed himself, and therefore considered inferior.

The only right way now is to strengthen one's own bloodline.

Its own bloodline originates from the bloodline of ancient gods and is also related to the bloodline of dragons.

Presumably, after strengthening one's bloodline, one will be able to find out the origin of one's bloodline.

Within the Spirit Control Sect, those with dragon bloodlines are highly valued.

"If I can seize this opportunity to compete for more resources and raise my demonic power to the same level as my immortal power... then breaking through to the Qiankun Realm will be just around the corner!"

Silent all night.

Chu Xiu refined all the purple pills he obtained through military merit, but could only barely improve his cultivation level slightly.

The constraint he faces now comes from the level of his bloodline; no amount of energy can help him advance.

However, in addition to military merit, there is another condition required to qualify for entry into the Ascending Blood Pool.

That meant obtaining permission from his superior, the Jackal Dragon Demon General.

This jackal-dragon demon general, compared to the alligator dragon himself, possessed more skill in managing subordinates.

He must be aware of any improvement in his subordinates' cultivation level; otherwise, it will be considered as harboring ill intentions.

Chu Xiu sighed, "I never expected... I'd have to face this demon general so soon..."

Just as Chu Xiu was pondering how to deceive the Jackal Dragon Demon General, a faint sound came from outside the house.

Chu Xiu's eyes turned cold, and he swung a burst of energy directly at the door, shattering the entire door into pieces.

At the same time, a girl carrying a half-filled basin of hot water and with a clean white towel draped over her shoulders exclaimed in surprise, tripped over the threshold, and fell into the house.

Chu Xiu could tell at a glance that the girl was no more than ten years old and was a human.

Her face was pale, she didn't dare to look up at Chu Xiu, and she didn't even dare to care about her bleeding knee. She just curled up in the corner and trembled.

This helpless look reminded Chu Xiu of many things that happened when he was in the ancient world.

Chu Xiu stood up and went to the little girl.

He never expected that just a few steps he took towards the little girl would scare her so much that she wet her pants.

Chu Xiu frowned upon seeing this and began searching through the alligator dragon's memories of the little girl.

The more Chu Xiu looked, the angrier he became.

This little girl was captured by the alligator dragon and brought to this place when she was still an infant!

Her parents had also died at the hands of the alligator dragon.

It seems that the alligator spared her life because of her special constitution, and took a human wet nurse to raise her. After she turned six, the wet nurse was also killed by the alligator, leaving her alone and destitute to this day, living as a servant in the alligator's mansion.

This crocodile dragon seems to intend to devour her when her physical constitution awakens at the age of fifteen!
