"Of course..." Gou Li said, "Don't forget, you once poisoned me. We are indeed extensions of your will, but over time we also grow stronger, evolve, and when the demon blood in our bodies fully merges with our souls, we will gradually possess our own will, becoming free energy beings. Naturally, our loyalty to you will also reach its limit."
"Loyalty in exchange for freedom?" Lanling said in astonishment.,
"Yes, the demon blood gradually evolves us, sensing how much loyalty we have, it grants us that much freedom." Gou Li said, "Therefore, every Hell Knight is a free, noble, powerful soul, their loyalty to you comes from the heart, not just like mindless puppets. Puppets are formidable, but not powerful. Among the twenty-six death Samurai, I am the one who has evolved the fastest."
This statement surprised Lanling a bit.
