"Yun Qi, can you please get rid of this stingy habit? You call yourself the Demon Lord? No other Demon Lord is as stingy as you."

Li Muge angrily kicked the door, but it was quite sturdy and she didn't break it.

He kicked her again before storming off.

Ying Yuan emerged from the shadows, and it seemed that the relationship between the Demon Lord and Li Muge had become much closer without anyone noticing.

This is not what he wanted.

Ying Yuan fell into deep thought. Perhaps he should think of another way to exacerbate the feud between Yun Qi and Li Muge.

He had waited far too long to become the master of the new world.

To realize this plan, Li Muge and Yun Qi are two indispensable links.

Li Muge was destined for a life of hardship from birth, and sooner or later he would plunge the Three Realms into chaos.

Yun Qi will destroy the Three Realms.

As long as they complete these two steps.

Only when the Three Realms are devastated can he rebuild another world on the basis of the destruction of the Three Realms.

A country of his dreams.

Ying Yuan's eyes were ferocious, with a hint of madness.

"Your Highness, come quickly, look how beautiful this butterfly is!" said a palace maid beside Xiao Xue with a smile.

"Mmm." Xiao Xue nodded, dressed in a light, pleated gauze skirt, dancing a traditional Jiangnan dance amidst the sea of ​​flowers.

She really liked this little girl.

If her daughter were still alive, she would probably be about the same age as this girl.

Xiao Xue was somewhat saddened.

A tear rolled down her cheek.

The palace maid, holding flowers in her hands, watched Xiao Xue dance with utter fascination.

But suddenly...

The palace maid's pupils constricted: "Your Highness, be careful."

A black tornado approached Xiao Xue, who was caught off guard and was directly swept into it.

The palace maid shouted anxiously.

"Help! Someone, save Lady Xue! Help!"

The Heavenly Palace guards rushed over and drew their swords to cast spells to suppress the tornado, but they all mysteriously broke in two.

It was only thanks to the timely arrival of the Heavenly Emperor that Xiao Xue was saved.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Lord, this is poison from the Demon Realm."

"The Demon Realm." Two people appeared in the Heavenly Lord's mind: Li Muge and Demon Lord Yun Qi.

But if the rumors are true, then Xiao Xue is his mother. Back when he wanted to kill that wicked child, Xiao Xue protected him so much.

How could he possibly send someone to harm his own mother?

But if it's Li Muge, what motive would she have to harm Xiao Xue?

The Heavenly Emperor was enraged by thunder.

The fact that the demons could so easily deceive the heavenly guards and enter the Heavenly Palace demonstrates the extremely weak defenses of the celestial realm.

Even the suspicious Heavenly Emperor wondered if the decision not to return was due to spies planted in the Immortal Realm by people from the Demon Realm.

A thorough investigation will be conducted in the celestial realm.

They identified quite a few spies from the Demon Realm, but none of them were Li Muge's people.

Instead, they were people of King Anyang of the Demon Realm.

He was the second person, after Li Muge, to covet the position of Demon Lord, even though he encountered formidable enemies like Yun Qi and Li Muge.

But he never gave up.

Li Muge admired his willpower in his past life; no matter what he did, he never died.

Keep it for fun.

"Damn it, when did you guys lose your minds to kidnap Xiao Xue? She's just a woman, what's so special about her that you kidnapped her?"

The Prince of Anyang suffered heavy losses this time. Who knows how much effort he put into cultivating those spies who were able to penetrate the Immortal Realm?

"Your Highness, we really didn't tie them up. Could they be from the Demon Lord's side, or from Protector Mu Ge's side?"

"Besides, your subordinates wouldn't dare act on their own without your orders."

"Could it be the Demon Lord, or someone from the Protector's side?"

The Prince of Anyang thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. I think it might be Li Muge. The rumor is that the princess of the Jiaolong clan is his mother."

“Wait a minute.” King Anyang clapped his hands: “How could I not have thought of this? If the rumors are confirmed, and Yun Qi is indeed the son of the Heavenly Emperor, how can he be worthy of being the Demon Lord?”

The opportunity to seize the throne has arrived.

"Come here. I want you to use this news to gather forces in the Demon Realm. I want to see how many people will support a Heavenly Lord's illegitimate son as our Demon Lord. Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world?"

At this moment, Yun Qi's injuries had finally healed somewhat, and Gong Yujia felt very sorry for him: "Demon Lord, why don't you rest a little longer?"

She picked up the nourishing soup.

The Demon Lord, however, saw through her thoughts: "No need, you may leave. By the way, you must not make any mistakes in the things I have instructed you to do. This time, I must see whether Li Muge is truly uninterested in my position."

"Yes, ma'am." Gong Yujia put down the medicine bowl.

Li Muge was naturally well-informed, and upon hearing the news, his first suspicion fell on the Prince of Anyang, or perhaps Ying Yuan.

These two are definitely up to no good.

If Yun Qi wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago. But how come Xiao Xue is so lucky? So many people want to kill her, yet she's still alive.

A quiet, dark room.

Yun Qi closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, tapped the wooden fish with his right hand, and turned the prayer beads with his left hand.

But his heart could not find peace no matter what he did. As soon as he closed his eyes, those painful memories would surface in his mind.

At Jinshan Temple, the abbot always spoke of having compassion for all living beings.

But have the people ever shown them any pity?

He did nothing wrong, yet his parents wanted to kill him. Is the world fair to him?

Jingfeng rushed in: "Reporting to the Demon Lord, something terrible has happened. The Prince of Anyang and the Prince of Qincheng have gathered their troops outside, saying they hope that you, Demon Lord, will abdicate."

“Hmm.” Yun Qi was not surprised. Ever since the rumor spread, he had been thinking about this day.

Outside the Demon Palace.

King Qincheng had a stern face. If he had known earlier that the current Demon Lord might be the son of the Heavenly Emperor, even if Yun Qi was easy to control, he would have chosen to help him become the Demon Lord.

Now, no matter who becomes the Demon Lord, it's impossible for the Heavenly Lord's son to take over their Demon Realm.

When Yun Qi came out of the palace gate.

The group of people didn't even bother with formalities.

King Qincheng snorted coldly, feeling that Yun Qi had betrayed his trust: "Demon Lord, tell the truth, are you really related to the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Whether it is or not, what does it matter?" Yun Qi said ambiguously, his face pale.

King Qincheng's blood pressure was about to explode: "How can it not be related? Yun Qi, if you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor, how do you expect the past Demon Lords to be treated? How do you expect our Demon Realm to live in the Three Realms?"

The Prince of Anyang was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He had shifty eyes and was stirring up trouble on the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle.

“Yun Qi, if you are truly the son of the Heavenly Emperor, then you are probably not fit to sit on the position of Demon Lord.”

"The Immortal Realm and our Demon Realm have always been at odds, and the Immortal Realm has even killed countless of our fellow demons. If you are truly the son of the Heavenly Emperor, then you should voluntarily step down from the position of Demon Lord."

"I will spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship."
