Chapter Eight: Repay kindness without fail! Repay enmity without fail! This was Yi Zi's path-the Way of the Gentleman!

This composure.

Was absolutely not something one could attain through secluded cultivation behind closed doors.

Nor was it something possessed by those accustomed to hiding their heads and concealing their tails.

At that very moment.

Fei Yi even sensed faint traces of dominance from Yi Zi.

That righteous, iron-blooded presence.

It looked as though Yi Zi of the human race before him had once experienced countless bloody battles.

And emerged victorious time and again from those countless battles, forging an invincible heart.

How was that possible?

It must be an illusion!

Such a thought flashed through Fei Yi's mind.

Yet he could not help but grow wary.

So he looked at Yi Zi.

Without rushing to attack.

Instead, he asked about his origins.

"By order of the Human Ancestor, I have come to reinforce the Divine Capital!"

Yi Zi said calmly.

He had no intention of concealing anything.

However.

His frank attitude.

Only plunged every being who heard him into even deeper confusion.

"The Human Ancestor's order?"

"Reinforcements?"

The latter was easy enough to understand.

Yi Zi's arrival had caused ripples through space.

Ordinary people could hardly detect them.

But beings at Fei Yi's level, Da Luo-level existences, could sense them.

The only question was.

Who exactly was this Human Ancestor Yi Zi spoke of?

Since when had the human race produced such an existence capable of commanding a Da Luo?

That should not have been possible!

All living beings beneath heaven and earth were dumbfounded.

Fei Yi was equally astonished.

After his surprise faded.

Fei Yi thought for a moment.

Then decided to play it safe.

"May I ask where this Human Ancestor is?"

"With the power you have displayed, why serve some skulking figure who hides his head and conceals his tail? Why not join my demon race instead?"

"With the extraordinary talents and grand ambitions of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor, they surely would not mind appointing you as a Demon General in charge of one region."

"Then, not only could you make a glorious name for yourself in the primordial world, you could also protect a region of humanity from disaster. Would that not be wonderful?"

Fei Yi spoke, attempting to recruit Yi Zi.

It sounded rather shocking.

But in truth, it was nothing extraordinary.

After all, the demon race differed from the Witch Race, the human race, and the rest.

They were not a race that had naturally existed from the beginning.

Rather, after Di Jun and Tai Yi established the Heavenly Court with their supreme power, they forcibly gathered Myriad Races and Spirits into a hegemonic force.

The demon race encompassed Myriad Races and Spirits.

Naturally, it could include the human race as well.

Now that Yi Zi had displayed sufficient value.

Drawing him into the demon race.

Seemed perfectly normal to Fei Yi.

Had it been any other living being.

Faced with recruitment by the Heavenly Court's demon race, represented by Fei Yi, they might well have agreed.

But Yi Zi would not.

"The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, the foremost of all living things. How could we keep company with beasts like you, who eat raw flesh and drink blood!"

Not only did Yi Zi refuse.

He refused without leaving the slightest room for negotiation.

Such a development.

Naturally exceeded Fei Yi's expectations.

And so, naturally.

Fei Yi flew into a rage out of humiliation.

"You do not know life from death!"

With an enraged shout.

Fei Yi immediately coiled around Yi Zi.

At the same time, he ordered the demon race to attack.

Thanks to Yi Zi's assistance just now, the humans within Divine Capital Luoyang had indeed gained a moment to catch their breath.

But they were ultimately no match for the demon race.

On the battlefield.

Some demons cast spells and crashed into the human battle lines.

They spewed fire and water, and with a single open mouth, directly annihilated tens of thousands of humans.

Others relied on the might of their innate divine abilities.

Standing high above amid the clouds.

With every opening of their mouths, they tore apart and devoured countless humans.

As far as the eye could see.

The human battle lines were in danger everywhere, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Miserable, miserable, miserable!

The moment the battle began.

The human race immediately fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Countless were dead and wounded.

Their destruction could come at any moment.

"Yi Zi, look at this. These humans are paying the price for your foolishness!"

As Fei Yi entangled Yi Zi, he continued to berate him.

In response.

Yi Zi merely shook his head and said:

"The Master does not talk about... strange powers and chaotic spirits!"

Chapter Eight: Repay kindness without fail! Repay enmity without fail! This was Yi Zi's path—the Way of the Gentleman!

Entangled by Fei Yi, Yi Zi was unable to intervene in the other battlefields.

Faced with such a situation, watching the human race suffer so terribly.

Yi Zi spoke, uttering those words once more:

"The Master does not talk about... strange powers and chaotic spirits!"

Hearing Yi Zi suddenly speak, Fei Yi froze.

Then he was about to mock him.

After all, instead of properly fighting.
