Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

Chapter 126 The Plan, Domineering Ambition

I do not know how long it has been……

Immersed in grief, Zhong Li gradually broke free from the vortex of pain, but the aura emanating from him at this moment was more terrifying than ever before.

Extreme grief and hatred roared and howled wildly in his chest like a ferocious beast, as if it would break free of its restraints and tear him into countless pieces at any moment.

His once cold and hard eyes are now bloodshot, ferocious and terrifying, like a demon descending.

Si Hanye looked at Zhong Li in this state and sighed slightly helplessly.

Once the shackles that imprisoned the devil are broken, don't blame the devil for his endless revenge.

Zhong Li emerged from the painful memories, but his eyes were still bloodshot.

Yan Shu's departure was like a bolt from the blue for Zhong Li. From then on, he became silent and withdrawn, as if he had lost his soul, and no longer had any enthusiasm or expectation for anything.

The once spirited and talented young Zhong Li has vanished, replaced by a puppet who obeys orders without question.

Whatever his family asked him to do, he would carry it out without hesitation.

Completely losing the ability to think for themselves and resist, they seem to have reverted to being the puppets that could be easily controlled by their families.

Seeing this, the family members couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. They thought they had finally tamed Zhong Li and could manipulate him at will to achieve the family's various interests.

Thus, under the family's instructions, Zhong Li was pushed into the position of clan leader like a walking corpse.

Unfortunately... to everyone's surprise, although Zhong Li appears to be compliant on the surface, he is actually heartbroken.

The family only controlled his body; his passionate and fiery heart had long been buried in endless darkness with Yan Shu's passing.

Can Zhong Li, whose heart is already dead, really lead the Li tribe to regain its former glory?

As it turns out, the answer is no!

Since Zhong Li became the clan leader, the Li clan has not only failed to achieve the expected prosperity, but its overall strength has also shown a trend of decline.

Zhong Li spent his days in a daze, drifting along aimlessly, and he was even more perfunctory in his cultivation, showing no ambition whatsoever. Over time, his cultivation not only stagnated but even regressed.

Faced with this situation, the family members were heartbroken and criticized Zhong Li for his inaction.

But each time he heard these rebukes, Zhong Li would only slightly raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking sneer: "What you all wanted was a Zhong Li who could be manipulated at will, without emotions or thoughts. Now that I've given you that, what more could you ask for!"

Every time Zhong Li witnessed his family members frantically worrying about the future of the clan, and every time he watched helplessly as the situation of the Li clan worsened, a sense of vengeful pleasure would arise deep within him.

These people killed his beloved, and they also killed the once vibrant and passionate Zhong Li. So let the entire Li clan go to hell and be buried with them.

Now, all he wants is to find the heaven-defying method to bring the dead back to life. He wants Yan Shu to come to his side again, and he is willing to give everything and pay any price for it.

This was the only thought that kept him alive!

Zhong Li stared intently at the man opposite her, her voice hoarse and cold as she spoke, "What do you intend to do?"

Si Hanye raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed he had adjusted his mindset, which made the next problem much easier to handle.

He parted his thin lips slightly and stated it in a calm tone.

"I think you are aware of the current situation of the Li Clan. Zhongming conspired with the Demon Sect to remove you from power in order to seize the position of clan leader. If you insist on not giving up the position of clan leader, you will inevitably fight with Zhongming. No matter who wins, the Demon Sect will take advantage of your clan's weakened state to annex it in one fell swoop. They have been planning this opportunity for a long time."

He paused slightly, then let out a soft scoff.

"Zhongming has realized the other party's ambition now, but it's too late. He's certainly willing to gamble, and has now invited our Demon Alliance to join the fray, hoping to use our power to turn the tide. Will he succeed? This mess will only get muddier!"

"Even if I don't take action against your Li Clan, do you think the Demon Sect, after planning and scheming for so many years, would be willing to let your clan go?"

Si Hanye lifted his long eyelashes, his eyes indifferent and cold, as if he were discussing a trivial matter, not the life or death of a super clan.

"Even if you and Zhongming join forces now, you might not be a match for the Demon Sect. What's more, there's also the Demon Alliance, another 'fierce tiger' in your eyes, standing by."

"Zhongming wants to lead the Li tribe to break free from the constraints of both sides? Ha! What a pipe dream."

Zhong Li remained calm and continued, "If I hand over the position of clan leader to Zhong Ming, the Demon Sect, which has been plotting for many years, will surely fight Zhong Ming to the death! In the end, both sides will be severely injured, and you will take control of the entire Li Clan in one fell swoop, right?"

As he finished speaking, Zhong Li's gaze sharpened as he looked directly at the man before him, as if trying to see through his deep eyes to discern his true thoughts.

Si Hanye casually raised his eyes and looked at the other person with a probing gaze.

Suddenly, she smiled faintly.

He was both wicked and alluring, handsome as a demon.

"Fish die and the net breaks? Even your Li tribe needs to have the means to tear the net."

Zhong Li pursed his lips tightly. Yes, what leverage did the Li tribe have to talk about fighting to the death with them now?

They are destined to either be annexed or perish.

Si Hanye remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "That's right! The Li Clan, with its thousands of years of heritage, has an incredibly profound foundation. How could I sit idly by and wait for it to fall into the hands of the Demon Sect?"

The man's voice was deep and clear, making no attempt to conceal his ambition and appetite.

Because he had absolute confidence and the ability to say those words.

Zhong Li showed no surprise at this, because he knew that the man in front of him had enough means and ability to carry out every word he said.

A hint of curiosity appeared on his stiff face.

"Your Majesty, have you always been indifferent to all things? When did you develop such ambitions to dominate the world?"
