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

Chapter 1191 Forming an Alliance

Ao Sheng was slightly surprised and tilted his head slightly: "Oh? Hundreds of thousands of magic-based extraordinary beings? The entire territory of the human empire? When did the number of human magic-based extraordinary beings reach so many?"

Dragon Clan Shadow Guard: "This... I don't know."

Ao Sheng pondered, "To build a barrier at this time... to abandon such an important competition... could it be that the human race has also discovered the anomaly in the Light Dawn Array?"

“Very likely.” The Dragon Clan Shadow Guard nodded slightly: “Humans are the race closest to the core of the Light Dawn Array, besides us. They should also have a department specifically responsible for monitoring the Light Dawn Array.”

“Hmm…” Ao Sheng nodded.

Since Long Hai's death and the newly enthroned empress's rise to power, the human empire has finally become somewhat respectable, at least unlike the Long Hai era when it was practically a large, makeshift organization.

However, Ao Sheng also felt somewhat confused.

Even if hundreds of thousands of magic-based extraordinary beings joined forces to set up such a massive barrier, not to mention the enormous amount of soul stones and financial resources required, the astronomical amount of continuous energy supply needed to maintain the barrier's operation alone would be an abyss that could crush any race!

Although he hasn't personally interacted with Ye Ge yet, based on the information he has gathered and his observations of this human boy over the years, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would overlook such an important issue...

Does he have some special method to maintain the barrier?

The Dragon Clan Shadow Guard then said, "Your Majesty, given the unusual occurrences in the Guangli Formation, should we urgently summon the ministers for discussion?"

“No need,” Ao Sheng said calmly. “Our Eastern Dragon Clan also has a barrier formation passed down from ancient times. Even if the Guangli Formation really collapses, we will still have the power to protect ourselves. The Guangli Formation suddenly has such a situation, which must mean something has happened in the God Realm. Let’s not make a fuss about it for now.”

"Yes!" The dragon shadow guard paused. "And also... Your Majesty, General Cang Ting has already set off for the territory of the Evil Nether Clan!"

"General Cang Ting currently commands millions of elite dragon troops. If he succeeds in seizing those rich strategic locations belonging to the Xie Ming Clan, his territory and military strength will reach an extremely terrifying level..."

“Princess Aoxin said last time that he had ulterior motives. Whether it’s true or not, we should be careful… But why did you still send him to conquer the territory of the Evil Nether Clan?”

Ao Sheng said casually, "With Cang Ting's strength, he should represent our Eastern Dragon Clan in this campaign. If I were to replace him with someone else at the last minute, wouldn't that be clearly telling him that I am now wary of you?"

The dragon shadow guard pondered for a moment, then said, "What you say is true... but..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ao Sheng said calmly, "If I wanted to get rid of him, it would be a matter of minutes. But with Cang Ting's current powerful influence in Donglong, plus his own strength, if he were to raise an army and revolt, Donglong would definitely pay a heavy price in the ensuing civil war. I can't just stand by and watch Donglong fall into a state of misery just to get rid of him, can I?"

“That’s true,” the Dragon Clan Shadow Guard echoed. “His Majesty is wise and cares deeply for the people.”

"That's the situation now. He's constantly looking for an opportunity to overthrow me, and I'm waiting for the chance to eliminate him at minimal cost. It's a matter of who loses patience first."

Ao Sheng paused for a moment: "However, if we want to get rid of him in the least possible way, we might need to form an alliance."

"Oh?" Dragon Shadow Guard: "Have you made a choice yet?"

"Of course."

"Who?"

Ao Sheng looked at the distant sky shimmering with the aurora, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Night Song."

"Night Song?" The dragon shadow guard was taken aback. "This young man... is indeed a rare genius among humans, but we... don't have much interaction with him, do we?"

"Who said that? He's Xin'er's junior brother. I heard they have a pretty good relationship. He's helped Xin'er many times before. Isn't he the perfect candidate to form an alliance?" Ao Sheng smiled.

“...That makes sense,” said the Dragon Clan Shadow Guard.

“By the way,” Ao Sheng said, “Go and issue an order to recall all the Eastern Dragon Clan garrison troops scattered throughout the myriad races’ territory back to the country… I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen because of this sudden anomaly in the Guangli Formation.”

The dragon shadow guard lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Yes!"

......

The territory of the Evil Nether Clan, a desolate crossroads.

"Swish-swish-swish-"

With a series of swift whistles, more than a dozen extremely fast figures appeared at the fork in the road.

Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, Ye Mengyu, and Ye Yang stopped here.

Behind them followed a dozen or so elite warriors from the Ye family.

"Brother Ye Yang, we're about to split up."

Ye Mengyu was still holding her teddy bear in her arms, her face bearing her usual innocent and romantic smile. She said with a beaming smile, "Good luck on your solo mission! If you encounter any danger, just call us. Even if we're not going to fight for your territory anymore, we'll definitely come to help you!"

Ye Yang still said with some resentment, "Tch, you should think about yourselves. Don't forget that your opponents this time are all top experts from various races. Don't embarrass our Ye Clan's demonized gene mutant family."

"Xiao Ge has already told us that we can use the Eye of the Sky to detect the movements of other races in real time and see which territories they are seizing. We just need to avoid the strongest members of those top races."

Ye Mengyu smiled and said, "Anyway, the rule this time is that once a territory is completely occupied by one race, other races are not allowed to take it. With the help of the Eye of the Sky, we can have a great advantage."

"Tch." Ye Yang curled his lip. Although he felt that avoiding strong people was not a very pleasant way to do things, he had no choice but to accept that it was Ye Ge's order. "Alright, then you guys be careful."

"Mmm." Ye Mengyu: "Be careful too~"

Ye Qingxin glanced at him and said calmly, "We're just afraid that if you encounter an enemy and can't hold out, you'll be too embarrassed to ask us for help."

Ye Yang: "...How is that possible!"

He waved his hand somewhat irritably: "I'm leaving."

After saying that, he shot off like an arrow, followed closely by more than a dozen elite warriors from the Ye family. They disappeared instantly at the end of the more rugged road on the left, leaving only a wisp of dust behind.

Ye Mengyu and Ye Qingxin exchanged a glance, and the former playfully stuck out her tongue.

Ye Yulong said calmly, "Let's go, we need to hurry."

Ye Qingxin nodded gently: "Mm."

Night Rain: "Mmm."

"Shuashuashua——"

Without further hesitation, the three figures leaped up and transformed into three swift black shadows, rushing into another fork in the road.
