Capítulo 840: Chapter 392: Second Demon General (Part 2)

The Hong family believed that the power Li Ye possessed might be able to suppress or even eradicate the bizarre spiritual energy affecting the Hong Lan Family’s legs.

They specifically sought out Li Ye for an experiment.

It is said that, to be on the safe side, the Hong Family even invited a Supreme and two Overlords to personally oversee it. If any calamity arrived, or if they must meet strong enemies, they would have to slap them twice before leaving.

Li Ye naturally had no opinions about it, even though he had only interacted with the Hong Family once.

Yet, he had a good impression of them. Among the forty-two strong individuals of the Hong Family who entered the Immortal Palace, twenty-six died in battle, and the rest suffered severe injuries. In the last Sharp Blade Force, there was also a strong individual from the Hong Family. They were comrades, more than just associates.

Moreover, he had long promised to give his full power to help.

The No Regret Gem and the Holy Healing Potion were gifts from the Hong Family.

Both publicly and privately, he would go to help them.

Thus, Li Ye quietly exited the room, and after dressing neatly, he directly left.

Li Ye did not know that after he left the room, the Doll opened her weary eyes.

And from the depths of her consciousness, another voice emerged.

‘Do not struggle in vain. Whether you accept me or not, I will become you…’

‘Rather than resisting me, why not ascend the world with me.’

‘Destroy that Jade Pendant, accept me…’

“Then watch as you use my body to take everything that belongs to me?” The Doll snorted lightly, “The moment you occupy my body, you will face only death.”

“No matter how powerful your talent is, you will die in that instant!”

‘Ridiculous, relying on your little boyfriend? His ability is indeed special, but not enough to threaten me. And if he kills me, you will completely die too.’

‘I said, I am you. This is not so-called possession but true awakening, a return to the original owner.’

‘Moreover, does he really have the heart to do it?’

“How is this different from distortion? He is merely sending me off…” The Doll responded blandly, “Moreover, I will not let him face such a painful choice.”

“I will thoroughly shatter the Soul Well before you occupy me. It won’t trouble him…”

‘Indeed my personality, truly insane.’ The voice laughed coldly, ‘Would you also be willing to leave him?’

“I can’t bear it…” The Doll whispered softly, naturally full of reluctance: “But I don’t want anyone using my body to make him suffer. And without me, there would be someone who loves him… Therefore, you might as well die with me.”

Her tone was plain, yet contained unyielding determination.

In the Causality Strike, she saw a terrifying future.

In that future, Li Ye was not familiar and intimate with her but had found another partner…

But in the terrifying calamity, he lost everything, with his partner, family, and friends all turned into charred corpses.

His desperate and hoarse cries pained her immensely.

She… would not allow such a future to appear.

‘Truly twisted…’ The voice laughed coldly, ‘There will come a day when you beg me… I look forward to the moment you deal with me.’

The Doll did not continue to respond but instead burrowed back into the bed, still a bit pained and weary.

…

On the other side, Li Ye walked out of the guesthouse, heading toward the direction of the Hong family.

As an injured party, Li Ye and the others did not need to attack the Immortal Palace, thus they stayed in the guesthouse to recuperate these days.

During this period, he found Zhao Lin and informed her of the incident involving Ye Han and his companions.

He took out the Emotion Pocket Watch; with this taboo item, her brother’s curse could be greatly controlled.

As for the Divine Demon Stele within the Soul Well, Li Ye truly could not bring it out.

Zhao Lin was very grateful to Li Ye but did not accept the pocket watch. Instead, she decided to join the Giant City, becoming an official processor.

Her brother Zhao Xiao, in the hospital, learned of Ye Han’s actions within the Immortal Palace and perhaps finally discovered something.

After nearly distorting, he made this choice, perhaps wishing to atone within the Giant City….

Regarding this, Li Ye respected their decision and did not interfere in any way.

However, unexpectedly.

Li Ye just sat in the official off-road vehicle.

The staff member who came to refuel quietly placed a small paper ball.

Li Ye’s expression slightly moved, but he did not speak.

Instead, he drove the vehicle far out of the garage before stopping, then opened the paper ball at a specific angle and in a particular order.

[Dear Lord Di Yun, we have escaped from the Immortal Palace and regrouped.]

[In this operation, our faction lost over two hundred elites, and the Eternal Life Faction lost over a hundred…]

[Obtained Nine Curves Inheritance, Mythical Beast Bones….]

The beginning mentioned the church’s losses and gains in this event, and judging by the handwriting, it was Bai Ya’s.

Although she was brainwashed from a young age, her calligraphy was indeed quite good.

The latter part described the compensations given by the two major factions after this incident.

Now, those compensations are in the trunk of this off-road vehicle.

Li Ye turned over and climbed into the trunk, placing all the items into the Ark Space.

Bai Ya really had nerve, asking two Divine Chosen for supplies without having contacted them yet, and the requests were good.

And those two actually gave them.

Holy Wood Mandala and Vajra Huai Wood, one dared to ask, the other dared to give.

You know, Captain Yang Chen’s unmatched defense was partly due to having consumed Vajra Huai Wood.

Such an item is rare; even in the ark, it’s not always available for trade, yet they were willing to give it.

‘Zhu Tu and Luo Duo, you really are my dearest friends and family.’ Li Ye mused, ‘When I kill you, I’ll do it swiftly, without any mind games.’

‘And Bai Ya, oh Bai Ya, you truly are loyal. How could a Demon General dare to make such exorbitant demands?’

No wonder Yin Fire once said that Bai Ya’s escape from the Immortal Palace would benefit Li Ye.

She was too loyal, loyal to the Blood God Blood River, loyal to Divine Chosen Emperor Fall.

She couldn’t receive the oracle from the Blood River, but she could see the Divine Chosen Emperor Fall. So, Li Ye was her highest faith.

She would give everything for Divine Chosen Emperor Fall.

And naturally, she would strive for the greatest benefit for Divine Chosen Emperor Fall.

Including the Blood God Faction elite who delivered the message but had their face stripped. Also very loyal…

Good, good, subordinates this loyal, the more the merrier.

Li Ye fantasized, planning to take control of the Asian Headquarters.

Then, leading the Chaos Army to punish Zhu Tu, and pointing at his nose, calling him a traitor. Bai Ya and her group probably wouldn’t doubt it.

Just like Fen Xiao back then, a Blood God Chosen One, besieged by the church’s Fifth Legion, ultimately killed by Li Ye. To this day, considered a traitor.

Because even in death, he didn’t return to the Blood-colored Throne; everything pointed to him being a traitor!

If loyal Demon Generals like Bai Ya increase, Li Ye’s influence within the church would consequently grow.

It seemed necessary to find opportunities to promote Bai Ya and her group without harming the citizens and Giant City…

Speaking of which, the Eternal Life Faction hasn’t chosen a Demon General yet, hoping theirs would be just as loyal.

Li Ye thought, taking out a ballpoint pen, scribbling some words on the paper.

Wrapped it up again.

Then, as he passed a roadside trash can, he tossed the paper ball in.

Ten minutes later, the trash can was taken away.

And the now dirty paper ball ended up in the hands of the church.

Bai Ya ignored the dirt and opened the paper ball, murmured twice, and said, “Lord Di Yun is very pleased that we are alive and instructed us to investigate taboo items or rituals that target personality or the dark side.”

“Personality… what does the Lord need this for?” someone asked.

“Perhaps it’s the aftereffect of the Lord’s Soul Well injury, or for some other purpose. Regardless, investigate,” Bai Ya instructed.

“Yes!”

“And also…” Bai Ya looked at the man with bandages on his face: “Lord Di Yun agreed to let you become his Demon General and hopes you recover soon to fight alongside him!”

“You, Yu Mian, shall be Lord Di Yun’s second Demon General!”

The man was exceedingly excited and quickly responded, “I will never disappoint Lord Di Yun’s expectations!”

The other believers were all envious; this was literally a meteoric rise.

It’s fortunate Li Ye didn’t hear this; otherwise, he might have laughed out loud.

Your Divine Chosen Emperor Fall is planning to greatly disappoint you all. Hahaha…
