As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1737: 453: The Recruitment Plan of 12 Demon Gods, Lord Dog Long Time No See in Qi Tian City

“My Lord.”

When Li Che showed up, Gu Yinxuan quickly halted the process of drawing out the essence blood and venom.

As the Poison Saint, he possessed a deep fascination with all sorts of poisons, particularly those from a Demon God at the First Disaster Second Tribulation Realm.

Li Che cast a look at Gu Yinxuan, a soft smile gracing his features.

In order to hurry things along and deal with the Night Bat Demon God without delay, Li Che had resorted to his hidden ace, none other than Gu Yinxuan.

One hand clutching the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill and the other gripping the Three-legged Golden Toad Pendant, Gu Yinxuan left Night Bat Demon God completely vulnerable, enabling Li Che, bolstered by the surging might of the Sea Flipping Nine Infants, to dominate and slay him.

Buzz——

A swirling dark mist coalesced, unveiling the soul-binding form of Night Bat Demon God that promptly appeared, his wings tucking in as he shifted to a somewhat hideous human shape, complete with two vicious fangs bared.

Li Che decided against devouring Night Bat Demon God to fuel the Ten Fierce Brushwork and strengthen the Nine Infants; rather, he opted to seize his soul.

After all, Night Bat Demon God could still prove highly valuable, whether planted beside Black Bull Demon God Venerable as a secret agent or for a betrayal scheme—both options held great potential.

Initially, Night Bat Demon God had acted as the Big Black Bull’s infiltrator near the Netherworld Ox Demon, but Li Che chose a straightforward method to flip his allegiance, guaranteeing unwavering devotion.

The methods of the Underworld truly exceeded the wildest thoughts of these demons.

Even Night Bat Demon God found himself in utter shock.

The Underworld isn’t some upright organization; one look screams demon sect!

Li Che gave Night Bat Demon God certain directives, and with the soul capture in effect, his loyalty was total, making him obey Li Che’s orders without question—a dominance that outstripped the hierarchy imposed by the Demon Race.

“My Lord, when the inheritance of Equal Heaven Temple activates, my subordinate’s ultrasonic detection can swiftly scout for resources, hunt down Dao Yun Divine Crystal, Divinity Crystal, and similar treasures. And if we venture into Strange Que, we could even pinpoint and follow Divine Attribute Crystal Mines!”

Night Bat Demon God boasted confidently about his skills, presenting them like prized possessions.

Upon hearing this, Li Che’s eyes lit up as he grasped the vital role Night Bat Demon God played under Big Black Bull, filling his heart with excitement.

It had to be said that Big Black Bull was incredibly generous, handing over such a precious demonic asset straight to him.

Li Che sent Night Bat Demon God back to resume his covert operations, while Gu Yinxuan nearby bowed and updated on his latest experiments: “Reporting to My Lord, after enduring three hundred sixty-seven deaths by my subordinate, we’ve achieved major breakthroughs on the [Thousand Bone Centipede Powder], ranked eighth in the Heavenly Poison Divine Pill Scripture.”

“My subordinate believes that just one hundred eighty more deaths could finalize the Thousand Bone Centipede Powder.”

Gu Yinxuan shared this with evident enthusiasm.

Li Che’s lips quirked at the news, leaving him somewhat stunned.

Silently, you’ve perished that many times already?

“Old Gu, you’ve worked so hard…”

Li Che couldn’t resist commenting.

A faint grin crossed Gu Yinxuan’s precise features at those words: “My Lord overpraises me; dying is simply my responsibility.”

Gu Yinxuan stepped away, carrying off Night Bat Demon God’s essence blood and venom for further poison studies.

Li Che wasted no time, pulling out Night Bat Demon God’s demon core and starting to drain its demonic energy to bolster the [Ten Thousand Demons Emperor] Dao Fruit.

The absorption rate of the Ten Thousand Demons Emperor Dao Fruit proved astonishingly fast, finishing the task almost before he realized.

Toying with the demon core that shone like a glowing orb, a spark ignited in Li Che’s gaze.

His thoughts turned to plotting against Big Black Bull.

For this Demon God Venerable who jeopardized his daughter’s well-being, Li Che refused to take him lightly.

All of a sudden, Li Che remembered the gathering around the round table where Big Black Bull had assembled various demon gods, and a subtle smile tugged at his mouth.

“There were twelve Demon Gods altogether; that surely isn’t the full roster of Demon Gods from the Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Rivers of the human world… It might just be those loyal to Black Bull Demon God Venerable.”

Li Che mused.

Li Che’s knowledge of the Demon Race in the Ten Thousand Rivers of the human world remained quite limited, stirring a sense of curiosity in him.

Night Bat Demon God, who had departed earlier, came back shortly.

“My Lord desires insight into the total might of the Demon Race in the human world?”

Night Bat Demon God, catching on, revealed everything: “The Demon Race here in the human world gets backing from the Gui Que Demon Clan in the All Gods Camp’s [Deceit Demon Cave]. Across the Ten Thousand Rivers in the human world, there exist two Demon God Supremes and six Demon God Venerables… The number of Demon Gods is even higher.”

“Five hundred years back, the Demon Race didn’t have so many Demon Gods; it was only after seizing Qi Tian City and linking up with [Deceit Demon Cave] that they grew and flourished.”

Night Bat Demon God murmured.

Li Che felt a slight jolt at this revelation.

Is the Demon Race… really this powerful?!

Still, it was only Li Che’s view of their prowess.

In truth, this represented the collective strength of the entire Demon Race in the human world, which tied into the Human Race…

And the Human Race boasts forces like the Great Vista, Da Li, Wushen Mountain, Western Regions Buddha Land, and more.

When combining all those mighty organizations, their power likely didn’t lag far behind the Demon Race’s.

Supreme denotes those who’ve attained the Three Calamities Divine Tribulation level, whereas Venerable honors those at the Two Calamities Divine Tribulation.

Big Black Bull, for instance, qualified as a Demon God Venerable of the Second Calamity.

On the Human Race side, were there figures at the Three Calamities Divine Tribulation level?

Undoubtedly yes; Li Che simply hadn’t crossed paths with them yet. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Will strictly curbs superpowers of the Three Calamities and Two Calamities Realms, so they seldom show themselves, naturally curbing Li Che’s opportunities to learn more.

“My Lord, have no worries—in the human world, Demon God Supremes can’t intervene; even in Qi Tian City, it’s out of the question… Thus, within the Ten Thousand Rivers, the Demon God Supremes always stay put in Strange Que.”
