"Father..."

Early in the morning, Bai Zhan came to the palace to pay his respects to the Demon King.

"Um."

The Demon King nodded calmly, still looking at the various information coming from Wanfa Tianxia.

All this information was brought to the Demon Emperor by Bai Zhan.

"That Su Li is not simple." The Demon King sighed softly.

Bai Zhan could hear envy from the Demon King's tone.

"Yes, that Su Li has now reached the Ascension Realm, and his strength far exceeds that of monks in the same realm. In addition, the army of Guizhou Lingzhou is the best rested and the strongest. There is no way for other continents to compete with Guizhou.

Let’s compete in Lingzhou.”

Bai Zhan nodded and responded.

The two of them look like they have an ordinary father-son relationship, not like a "father is kind and son is filial" at all.

"Um."

The Demon King nodded.

Raising his head, the Demon King looked at his fourth son: "Bai Zhan, do you think Wanda World will attack the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"

"Logically speaking, it should be possible." Bai Zhan said what he was thinking.

In fact, in Bai Zhan's view, Su Li's purpose of unifying the entire Wanda world was to prepare for the attack on the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

As for his son's answer, the Demon Emperor didn't say anything, he just smiled and put down the document in his hand.

At this time, Si Fei also walked out from behind the screen and made tea.

"Bai Zhan, are you ready?"

The Demon King said with a smile.

"Yes." Bai Zhan nodded, "I came here this time to ask my father to die!"

Without any tact, Bai Zhan stated his purpose.

Bai Zhan also knew that his father knew his inner thoughts.

So Bai Zhan doesn't plan to beat around the bush anymore.

"Yes." The Demon King nodded, not feeling the slightest surprise at his son's words.

On the other side, Concubine Si, when she heard the Fourth Prince asking the Demon Emperor to die, Concubine Si's wrist trembled visibly, her face turned slightly pale, and her crystal teeth gently bit her thin lips.

But even so, Concubine Silk quickly regained her composure and continued to serve the Demon Emperor.

"I know you still have a lot of doubts in your mind. If you have any questions, just ask them.

Before I die, I will answer you whoever can answer you.

It can be considered as some compensation from me over the years.

Whether it is to you or to your brothers and sisters, I have never been a good father."

Bai Zhan nodded slightly: "My son wanted to ask my father why he gave up the resistance and allowed me to lead the army into the imperial city."

The Demon King smiled and shook his head:

"At that time, there was a huge disparity in our military strength. Even if I relied on the defensive formation, how long could I hold on?

The final result is just that you capture this city, and a lot of people will die.

If that's the case, then it's better to just open the city gate and let you in directly, which can also avoid the casualties of our good men from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Too many people have died in our Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom."

"Father, is it just for this reason?" Bai Zhan did not completely believe his father's words.

"There may be another reason."

The Demon King smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Actually, when I learned that after Qian Lingzhou's defeat, Qian Lingzhou's advantages spread to other continents.

Wanfa Tianxia has regained the initiative. It is already impossible for Wan Yao Kingdom to continue attacking Wanfa Tianxia. This war is doomed to fail.

And when the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is doomed to fail, you will definitely have some thoughts.

After all, if you return to the imperial court as a class teacher, based on your current strength, your fifth sister will have the absolute initiative.

So I guess you brothers will definitely take a preemptive strike.

However, I guessed that your second brother Bai Yu would enter the city first, but I was quite surprised that you came back first.

Bai Zhan, now that the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom has gathered the entire country's strength to attack Wanfa Tianxia, ​​it has failed, and everyone in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom has fallen into a very depressed atmosphere.

Now there must be something big to divert the attention of the people of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

And a new king is also needed to re-establish confidence in the people of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

Even if this king does nothing, the people of Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom must feel that this new king will definitely not be like me and will only bring failure to Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

You are my son.

Although I didn’t have much discipline for you when you were very young.

But I really understand your temperament best.

After all, no matter what I say, I am still your father.

It should be said that in addition to your sister, your brothers are also hoping that you will kill me quickly.

Because only in this way can the chaos of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom begin, and they will have enough reasons and enough status to attack you.

And you also have concerns.

Why you haven't killed me in the past two years is because you don't want to bear the charge of patricide.

Otherwise, justice in the world will not be on your side.

But son, you have discovered it now, no matter what, no matter what you do.

Now you have only one way left.

That means killing me.

Because even if I am still alive, you can no longer compete for this position.

So instead of doing this, you think it's better to burn the boat.

After killing me, a world of chaos will begin, so maybe we can still have a chance.

In fact, this is a smart move, but you should have done this three years ago. Unfortunately, your indecision has harmed you a lot.

Everyone in the world says that both your cultivation talent and your strategic character are exactly the same as Duan Bo.

But in fact, I know very well that compared to your Uncle Duan, you are still far behind.

At least your Uncle Duan was more diligent than you when he was young, more decisive than you, and more forward-thinking than you.

It was your Uncle Duan who was supposed to sit in this position, but it was just because of a woman."

Mentioning this woman, a lonely look flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and the Demon Emperor said no more.

"Do you have any more questions?" The Demon King looked at his son calmly.

"My son would like to ask my father, in my opinion, who among our brothers and sisters can take your position.

In other words, in your heart, Father, who do you think is the most qualified to be your successor?"

The Demon Emperor looked at his son's eyes. From his son's eyes, the Demon Emperor saw a look similar to that of a child who wants to be recognized by his father.

The Demon King looked directly into Bai Zhan's eyes.

For a long time, the Demon Emperor did not answer Bai Zhan's question.

In the end, the Demon King slowly stood up and walked out of the imperial study, passing by Bai Zhan.

And as the Demon Emperor walked further and further away, the Demon Emperor's voice slowly came from a distance:

"Son, no father in this world wants to push his son or daughter into a pit of fire.

I hope you never sit in this position..."

…

The Demon Emperor walked towards the depths of the palace, while Concubine Si followed behind the Demon Emperor.

As for where his father went, Bai Zhan didn't want to know.

But what Bai Zhan knew clearly was that his father would not leave the palace, and this was the last time he would see his father.

"I'm going to walk alone, so you don't have to follow me anymore."

The Demon King slowly spoke to Concubine Si who was following him.

Don't worry, your life or death doesn't matter to Bai Zhan.
To be continued...
