Chapter 328 If you want my throne, then come grab it
The young man's strange eyes kept looking into the girl's eyes. Finally, after confirming that the demon princess was not lying, he looked away and said softly: "Excuse me, Your Highness."
After saying this, he drifted away and did not stay here any longer.
The girl's face was expressionless, indifferent to the young man's departure.
I don't know how long it took before she left the place and headed somewhere.
…
…
Many of the demon clans living in the royal city are well-deserved big shots. In fact, they may not like living under the demon emperor's nose, but the demon emperor needs them to stay, so they cannot leave.
The high priest's residence is in the southern city far away from the imperial city. This nominal second-in-command of the demon clan is often regarded as the executor of the demon emperor's will and the most loyal follower of the demon emperor. However,
This situation will definitely change at some point. Everyone thinks that the current time may be that time, so early on, many important people who came to visit gathered in front of the mansion.
The sedans parked in front of the mansion had a very terrifying aura. The big shots were waiting for the high priest to open the door, and they didn't necessarily mean to put pressure on them.
It's just that the door of the mansion was always closed, and no one opened the door to welcome these big figures of the demon clan in.
The high priest is actually sitting in the corridor at the moment, looking at the door, feeling the terrifying atmosphere, and some unclear emotions in his eyes. There is a teacup on the table in front of him, and something is cooking in the stove next to him.
Drinking tea.
The long fragrance of tea floated out, and the high priest recovered his thoughts, looked at the tea bowl, paused, took out another one, then reached for the teapot, poured two bowls of tea, and said: "It's so unruly, no wonder
Your Majesty doesn't like you."
As he opened his mouth, a gust of wind blew by in the corridor, and a figure appeared in front of him.
He was not too tall, but he could be said to be slender. He wore a snow-white robe and had an extremely handsome face. His eyes were like a bottomless old well, and no one could see him.
I couldn't see clearly what he was thinking.
After taking a look at the high priest, the visitor slowly sat down and said straight to the point: "I have only one question, and that is how your Majesty was injured in the fight with the human king."
The high priest frowned slightly, pushed one of the tea bowls in front of the man, and then said: "Why do you think His Majesty will be injured?"
The high priest smiled and said: "How can a human being like your majesty be hurt?"
The man said indifferently: "You and I have known each other for many years, and now you are still using these words to lie to me?"
The high priest didn't care at all, he just took a sip of the tea, feeling the slightly astringent taste that many monsters would not like, and said with some emotion: "In fact, in the early years when those big monsters proposed the complete annihilation of the human race, they just
It makes no sense, if the human race is completely gone, what will we, the demon race, eat?"
The man glanced at the high priest and said: "The demon clan who are successful in spiritual practice don't have much interest in blood food."
The high priest smiled and said: "But there are too many monsters at the bottom, especially the group of people who have just transformed. They have no resistance to blood food. They feel excited when they smell the blood of humans. In the monster realm, like this
The demon clan is the largest, and you can’t refute it at all.”
The man said impatiently: "What's the point of worrying about these things?"
The high priest glanced at the man, remained silent for a moment, and said, "So your temperament is very unsuitable for being a demon emperor."
The man said calmly: "Whether you can do it or not, Demon Emperor, doesn't depend on your temper."
The high priest nodded, "That's natural. Whether you can become the Demon Emperor or not depends on whether the demon clan is the strongest, but there is no doubt that His Majesty is the strongest now, and he will be the strongest for countless years to come.
The opportunity you are waiting for has not come yet. Since there is no opportunity, it is best to remain patient, even if you are pretending, you must pretend to be docile."
"As I said before, I don't believe that Your Majesty was not injured." The man's eyes were glaring, as if he could see the chair in the imperial city at a glance.
The high priest sighed: "Ten thousand steps back, even if your Majesty is injured, you should not have any thoughts. Your city is too shallow. If you think of taking action at this time, you will definitely suffer a loss, and you may even be killed."
Pushing yourself into the abyss, I wouldn't say these words to anyone else, but since you regard me as a friend, I will give you some advice."
The man shook his head and said: "He has a deep mind, so he has many plans and worries, so many things are hidden under the truth. Maybe he is extremely weak at this moment, which is an opportunity for everyone. If he doesn't take action, maybe he will in the future.
regret."
After hearing this, the high priest was silent for a long time and did not rush to speak.
"You are his closest friend. You know his situation best. You are also my friend. If he is extremely weak at this moment, you should tell me. I will personally end his life, and you will still be you. Nothing will happen.
the difference."
The high priest looked at him and finally shook his head.
…
…
Deep in an alley not far from the imperial city, there is a small courtyard.
The girl walked in and soon saw the old woman waiting for her.
Seeing the old woman, the girl's expression softened a lot. "How is my father's injury now? There is an undercurrent in the royal city. I am afraid that they will attack and kill my father at the court meeting in three days."
The old woman in front of me is naturally a very remarkable person. She has lived in the imperial city for many years, and she has taken care of the girl in front of her since she was a child. She has a deep relationship with her. Listening to these words, the wrinkles on the old woman's face seem to be piling up.
Together, it looks like a series of ravines, with a strong flavor of the vicissitudes of time.
"It is natural that a person like Your Majesty cannot die so easily, but His Highness is not the one who should come back to the current royal city. Your Highness should leave immediately." The old woman's somewhat anxious voice sounded. To this Princess who had grown up watching her, she was
He truly treats her as his own daughter and does not want her to encounter any danger.
The girl frowned and said, "Is there any safer place in the world than beside my father?"
If her father really would die in the court meeting three days later, then no matter where she was hiding, it would be meaningless.
Because the new demon emperor will definitely find a way to kill her.
The old woman said: "If there is no safe place in the Demon Realm, Your Highness should go to the human race. As long as you are careful, it will always be safer than the Demon Realm."
When the girl heard this, her face became a little ugly.
"Mom, is my father's injury so serious?"
What does it mean for a demon princess to escape from the demon realm and enter the human realm?
Doesn't this mean that the current situation of the Demon Emperor has reached an extremely difficult time?
The old woman looked at the girl lovingly with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said with pity: "We are not in this situation. It's just the bloody storm in the royal city. It's not good for you to see."
The girl shook her head and asked: "Mom, can I see my father before the court meeting?"
"Your Majesty will not see anyone before the court meeting, and His Highness will not be able to see His Majesty. In fact, if we cannot see His Majesty at this moment, there will be no point in seeing His Majesty again on the day of the court meeting, or after the court meeting. Even if His Highness does not go to the human territory
, there may not be any problem if you go elsewhere.”
The old woman said softly: "The situation in the royal city has been decided. No matter whether His Highness is worried or worried, nothing can be changed."
The girl was silent for a long time. She was not stupid. She naturally knew that what the old woman said was indeed the current situation. After a few more words, the girl had already made plans to leave the royal city today.
The old woman looked at the seemingly weak girl and said with some distress: "If something really goes wrong with His Majesty, in a few years His Highness will return to the Demon Realm and she will be the empress of my Demon Realm."
Although the Demon Emperor had many princes, the old woman only felt that the girl in front of her was the most suitable person to be the Demon Emperor.
The girl didn't say anything, but quickly turned around and walked out of the yard, disappearing into the wind and snow.
As a bloodline of the Demon Emperor, she was born to be decisive. Since she knew that staying here was useless, she left.
In fact, she has always had this idea, but before, she wanted to leave after seeing her father. Now that she can't see him, let's go.
Whether she goes to the south or to those vast and uninhabited places, she becomes stronger. When she comes back one day, she will take back everything that belongs to her.
…
…
The wind and snow are still there.
The imperial city was peaceful, with heavy snow piled on the ground. Countless demon servants kept walking in the imperial city. However, when passing by the main hall, everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to look at anything.
All of them knew that His Majesty was in this palace at the moment, but at the same time they also knew that His Majesty's physical condition was not very good at the moment.
Many people are eager to know many things, and the only thing they can turn to is probably these demon servants.
Naturally, there are many informants among them, but the palace door is closed at the moment, and even if the news is obtained, it is impossible to spread the news.
Everyone is waiting for the court meeting in three days.
I don't know how long it took, or maybe it was just a moment, but the door of the hall suddenly opened.
A squeaking sound made the demon servants nearby stunned for a moment.
But after a while, the demon servants all knelt down and lay on the ground, their heads pressed against the cold snow.
As a cold wind howled out, the Demon Emperor walked out of the hall. He was wearing a large imperial robe, but his face was a little pale.
In the battle with Emperor Liang, no one would believe it if he said he was not injured.
Although there were no bystanders in that battle, as those people went to both sides of the Onan River to conduct research, most people actually gave the Emperor Liang a very high evaluation. In other words, if the Demon Emperor was really that
If he was so relaxed and free-spirited, it would be impossible for Emperor Liang to fight all the way to the banks of the Onan River.
The Demon Emperor slowly walked to the stage in front of the main hall, stood in front of the railing, and let the wind and snow fall, letting his hair turn white.
I don't know when a demon servant bowed behind him.
The Demon Emperor said calmly: "Can't you wait for three days?"
The demon servant lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Demon Emperor slowly said: "Since I don't want to wait any longer, I don't want them to wait anymore. I will open the palace door and hold a court meeting in advance today."
No one expected that the Demon Emperor, who had not appeared in front of people since returning to the royal city from the Onan River, appeared in front of these demon servants for the first time today and said something earth-shattering.
They originally thought that the Demon Emperor was trying to delay as much time as possible, and that the court meeting three days later might not be held on time, but who would have thought that the court meeting would actually be moved forward.
But now that the Demon Emperor has spoken, they have nothing to say. The demon servants got up one after another and went to prepare everything needed for the meeting.
The demon servant behind the Demon Emperor did not leave immediately. He just stood behind the Demon Emperor and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, think twice."
The Demon Emperor turned around, glanced at the demon servant in front of him who had accompanied him for many years, and said: "I haven't written much of the story of my life, how could I die in their hands?"
After saying this, the Demon Emperor walked towards the main hall where the court meeting was to be held.
…
…
The decision to hold a court meeting was hasty, but many important figures had been waiting for this day, so there was no obstruction at all and there would be no problems. Soon after the palace gate opened, those important figures had already arrived in front of the imperial city.
Walking at the front was the high priest, the most loyal follower of the Demon Emperor.
Then there are many important figures in the royal court, all of whom are great figures with astonishing cultivation levels.
Their faces were solemn, because they might be going to do something big today.
Although this kind of thing has happened countless times in the history of the demon clan, when you look at the history books, you can't even be said to be a witness, but now you have to become a participant.
This is of course different.
Therefore, everyone was very quiet, and no sound was heard while walking in the snow.
Soon they arrived at the main hall.
I saw the pale demon emperor sitting high on the throne that symbolized the highest power of the demon clan.
The high priest walked to the front, in front of everyone, and then knelt down.
No matter what the outcome will be, the current Demon Emperor is still the Demon Emperor.
Then many big shots knelt down.
This is their respect for the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor watched all this in silence.
I don't know how long it took, but after all the big shots stood up again, the whole hall was still quiet.
Suddenly someone said: "Is His Majesty's dragon body safe?"
The man stared at the Demon Emperor, but he was actually looking at the chair.
The Demon Emperor ignored him and just looked at the high priest.
The high priest frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, in the battle with the human king, logically speaking, the human king should not be allowed to leave the demon realm no matter what."
"The king of the human race came all the way to the Onan River and then left safely. This kind of thing is a shame for the entire demon race."
They said a lot of things, and their meanings were actually very clear.
Listening to these voices, the Demon Emperor's eyes grew colder, and he said slowly: "If you want to force me to abdicate, why bother talking so much."
After taking a look at the people in the hall, the Demon Emperor calmly said: "If you want my seat, then come and grab it."

That’s it for today. There will definitely be many more chapters to be updated tomorrow.
