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

Chapter 1217 I've been tricked again



Chapter 1217 I've been tricked again

......

In the real world, in the Dark Mushroom Forest.

Night Song's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes first, her gaze clear as if she had only taken a short nap.

Then, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed...

"Humph......"

Ye Bing and the Eastern Dragon King Ao Sheng almost simultaneously let out a suppressed groan, their bodies trembling slightly as they forcibly broke free from that bloody and eerie illusionary world. A moment of confusion flashed in their eyes before they quickly focused their vigilance.

Next came Nangong Qiuyue and Yu Li, along with the two dragon guards. Like drowning people being pulled from the water, they gasped for breath, then collapsed to their knees, pale-faced, accompanied by violent retching and a trembling fit of exhaustion.

"Is everyone okay?"

Ye Ge stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her tone calm.

Ye Bing shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the lingering dizziness and buzzing in her mind. After a few seconds, she looked at Ye Ge and asked, "Did you succeed?"

“Of course.” Ye Ge shrugged easily. “Otherwise, would you be awake now?”

Bai Xueling carefully held Su Yanling in her arms, then turned her head anxiously and asked, "Ye Ge, Yanling, she..."

Although Su Yanling had broken free from control, her eyes remained closed as she lay quietly in Bai Xueling's arms, her breathing steady but weak.

Not far away, Moon Shadow, Beast King Lion Thunder, Dwarf King Gom, and those evil beasts that had previously gone mad, all seemed to have had all their strength drained away, lying haphazardly on the ground, unconscious.

"It's nothing, I've just been under the influence of illusions for too long and my mental energy is overexerted. I'll probably need to sleep for a while," Ye Ge explained.

Ye Bing's gaze fell on Yue You, who was lying quietly. He stared at her silently for a moment, then his tense shoulders finally relaxed slightly, and he let out a soft sigh of relief.

"So," the calm voice of the Eastern Dragon King Ao Sheng rang out, as he looked at Ye Ge, his crimson-gold dragon eyes gleaming with wisdom, "you have found the mastermind behind the scenes who manipulated Qiongqi and laid out this overwhelming illusion?"

“Hmm.” Ye Ge nodded, her smile calm yet resolute. “I think we can hurry over now to meet up with everyone and see that friend who surprised you.”

Ao Shenglong raised an eyebrow slightly: "A friend who surprises us?"

......

On a city tower in the Netherworld.

"!!!"

Sima Qing suddenly opened his eyes, forcibly breaking free from the deep mental battle.

"Chairman, what's wrong?" Karl, who had been standing by the side, asked.

Sima Qing's face was cold: "...He's outmaneuvered us again...Our location has been locked."

Karl was slightly taken aback: "What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a savage, violent, and terrifying aura, enough to make one's soul tremble, suddenly crashed down from the sky like a real meteor!

"Ominous Star - Annihilation of the Eight Desolations!"

With a deafening roar that ripped through the sky, a colossal ape, its massive body and bulging muscles like a dragon, descended from the heavens! Carrying an aura of annihilation, it crashed down upon the city walls!

"Boom boom boom boom—!!!!"

Under that terrifying impact, the city gate collapsed like a paper toy, sending rubble and broken wood flying everywhere and raising clouds of dust!

Sima Qing and Karl reacted extremely quickly, transforming into two streaks of light just before the murderous aura struck them, narrowly leaping away from the ruins of the city tower!

However, the two gene company employees standing slightly behind Carl didn't have time to react at all.

They only felt a sudden darkness above their heads as a huge shadow descended. Their expressions of terror had barely surfaced when they were completely crushed into dust by the irresistible destructive force, along with the city wall beneath their feet!

"Damn it...you dodged pretty fast!"

Jiang Xiaoming, who was half-Zhu Yan transformed, said through gritted teeth, somewhat unwillingly.

At this moment, his body had grown to nearly three meters tall, and his appearance was basically the same as Zhu Yan's. Every part of his body had shown the characteristics of Zhu Yan, and his whole body was covered with bulging muscles and red and white hair.

Jiang Xiaoming: "Damn it... I thought I could make a contribution again!"

"You brat!" Zhu Yan's furious voice echoed in his mind: "Don't give my attacks such childish names! And why the hell did you have to shout it out so loudly! You're such an idiot!!!"

"..." Jiang Xiaoming shrank his neck in grievance.

Sima Qing and Karl landed on another city wall not far away.

“That guy is the Zhu Yan we didn’t catch before…” Karl patted the dust off his white suit and looked at Jiang Xiaoming.

Sima Qing paused for a moment, then said, "We are surrounded."

Karl was slightly taken aback, then immediately looked up and glanced around, his pupils suddenly contracting!

All around, amidst the dilapidated city walls, towering ruins, and even the relatively intact rooftops in the distance, countless figures—at least several hundred—had silently appeared!

On the main city wall directly opposite, Long Ying stood proudly, her black dragon robe swaying gently in the wind, exuding the majesty of an empress. Her gaze was as cold as ice, fixed intently on Sima Qing and Karl. Behind her, a line of elite Night Watchmen, including Li Shuying, Qu Qu, Bai Qing, An Lingyue, Mu Jiannan, and Nangong Ru, stood in awe, their killing intent palpable!

On the left are Chi Ling and Fei Yue of the Spirit Demon Clan, Gu Xie Mo Jun of the Demon Clan, Fenrir of the Werewolf Clan, and Nicholas of the Vampire Clan...

On the right were elders of the Beastmen, elders of the Dinosaurs, ministers of the Celestials, a prince of the Blood Elves, several generals of the Eastern and Western Dragon Clan, as well as many high-ranking experts from various races... Their faces were all filled with anger, coldness, and scrutiny.

The sound of wings flapping densely filled the sky! Winged bird warriors, Sky Knights of the Celestial Race, flying mechs and tactical helicopters of the Human Race, and flying mounts of various demon beast races... gathered from all directions like dark clouds, completely sealing off the sky!

......

On the other side, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bingxin, Gulsas, Tar, and others who were responsible for maintaining the illusionary prism array also stood up.

Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bingxin, Black Dragon King Gul'sath, and Giant Father Tar almost simultaneously seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

The Qiongqi Moon, which had shrouded the heavens and earth and emitted an ominous blood-red light, had vanished like a phantom, revealing the once dark but normal night sky.

With illusions of this scale, once the caster's mind is disturbed, the spell will naturally become unsustainable.

"It seems that Long Ying and the others have found the person."

Gao Shenxue had already obtained the coordinates transmitted by Ye Ge through her mental power, and slowly formed hand seals.

At almost the same time, Xia Xiyao, Bing Xin, Gulsas, and Tar, who were scattered in different places, also made the exact same move.

Powerful spatial energy began to gather and vibrate around them!
