Yongyejuncheng, Ye Family

In the lobby, Ye Junshou, the current patriarch of the Ye family, was sitting in the middle of the lobby on his knees.

In front of him, sitting in the same upright posture was the next head of the family, also his only biological son, Ye Tianshen.

"God, you must keep in mind every word that your father says next!"

"The current Demon Lord is dead, and the new Demon Lord has already ruled the entire Demon Realm."

"My Ye family has served the Demon Lords for generations and guarded the Eternal Night City, without exception!"

"After that, you must chop off your father's head and present it to the current Demon Lord. Swear allegiance to him and never harbor any other thoughts. Use your life to become the guardian of the current Demon Lord!"

Ye Junshou stared at Ye Tianshen with a serious look, and gave him a serious warning.

This is the tradition and responsibility passed down by their Ye family since ancient times.

The current head of the Ye family will swear allegiance to the current Demon Lord, serve him, and even sacrifice his life for him.

Whenever a new Demon Lord ascends the Demon Lord throne and replaces the previous Demon Lord, the next generation head of the Ye family will continue the previous tradition and swear allegiance to the new Demon Lord.

In the demon world, a person who has already sworn allegiance to another will often no longer be accepted by other monarchs.

Since the current head of the Ye family has sworn allegiance to the previous Demon Lord, the final result will be either to follow the previous Demon Lord to death, or to give up the position of head of the family and commit suicide in order to preserve the new Ye family.

If it is a little more extreme, just like what Ye Junshou said, he is willing to offer his head and let his descendants take the head to swear allegiance to the new Demon Lord, so as to gain the trust of the new Demon Lord!

This is the reason why the Ye family has been able to continue the demon world for so long since ancient times.

“Father…! Do we really have to do this?!”

Ye Tianshen looked sad and angry, with a look of reluctance and confusion on his face.

Since childhood, he has been educated by the Ye family to serve the monarch, and was instilled with absolute obedience to the Demon Lord to whom he swore allegiance, and to regard protecting the Eternal Night City as his life's mission.

But no one had ever told him that each generation of the Ye family might have to serve a different Demon Lord, and no one told him that after the death of the current Demon Lord, he would even have to kill his father with his own hands to swear allegiance to the current demon clan!

"God! This is the continuation and inheritance of my Ye family for tens of thousands of years!"

"Only in this way can my Ye family survive forever!"

"From now on, you are the new head of the Ye family. You are responsible for the future of the entire Ye family!"

"Perhaps one day, the current Demon Lord will be replaced. By then, you will either live and die with this Demon Lord, or sacrifice yourself to help the next generation of my Ye family!"

Ye Junshou warned Ye Tianshen solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianshen helplessly lowered his head and tightly gripped the long sword beside him.

"Almost done, God..."

"Remember what your father taught you today! Then... do it!"

Ye Junshou took off his shirt, revealing a sturdy body covered with scars and having been through hundreds of battles. He lowered his head and frankly exposed his neck.

Ye Tianshen held the long sword in his hand, slowly stood up and raised the long sword high.

At this moment, he felt trembling for the first time while holding the long sword!

Just as he was struggling to decide whether to drop his sword, with a "bang", the Ye family's door suddenly shattered.

Ye Tianshen and Ye Junshou turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the direction of the Ye family's gate.

At this moment, a figure flashed to the door of the lobby in an instant.

“Demon Lord…?!”

When they saw the person coming, Ye Tianshen and Ye Junshou both shouted in surprise at the same time.

The person who came was actually the new Demon Lord who had unified the entire demon world and replaced the old Demon Lord!

"Get up. There's no need to offer your head. I don't have the hobby of collecting heads."

"Instead of offering your heads, why not swear allegiance to me~!"

Ning Yechen stepped lightly into the lobby, walked past Ye Tianshen and the other man, and sat down in the seat at the front of the lobby, staring at the two with a smile on his face.

"Master Demon Lord, I have sworn allegiance to the previous Demon Lord, and I have also attacked you. The only way to atone for my sin is to die!"

"Yes, from now on, my Ye family will be succeeded by my son Ye Tianshen. He will swear allegiance to you and serve you with all his strength!"

Ye Junshou turned around and knelt in front of Ning Yechen, lowered his head and spoke devoutly.

"I don't mind, so why do you mind?"

Ning Yechen glanced helplessly at the stubborn Ye Junshou, then slowly stood up from his seat with a look of pride.

"Also, you seem to have misunderstood what I said."

"What I want is not the oath of allegiance from your generation of the Ye family, but the entire Ye family!"

"Because from now on, there will only be one Demon Lord in the Demon Realm, and that is me~!"

"I will be the last Demon Lord served by your Ye family!"

“W-what…?!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Tianshen and Ye Junshou were startled for a moment, and they looked up in astonishment at Ning Yechen who was standing proudly in front of them.

Their Ye family has served many Demon Lords since ancient times, but they have never heard of such bold and arrogant words as this young Demon Lord!

What he meant was that no one in the demon world would ever be able to replace him as the Demon Lord!

This is something that no previous Demon Lord has ever said...!

Ye Tianshen stared at Ning Yechen's proud figure in a daze, and an unprecedented throbbing sensation surged in his heart.

For some reason, he inexplicably believed that the young new Demon Lord in front of him would be the only Demon Lord in the Demon Realm!

He has also waited for the only person who is worthy of his swearing allegiance and who is willing to lead the entire Ye family to sacrifice his life for him!

"Father! I believe in this Demon Lord! He will be the only Demon Lord in the Demon Realm!"

"I am willing to lead the entire Ye family to swear allegiance to Lord Demon!"

Ye Tianshen put down the long sword in his hand and looked at Ye Junshou beside him with a firm gaze.

Ye Junshou looked thoughtful and hesitant, raised his eyes and stared solemnly at Ning Yechen in front of him for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"Now I am no longer the head of the Ye family, you are...!"

"You have the right to make your own decisions!"

Ye Tianshen led the entire Ye family to swear allegiance, which violated the ancestral traditions. To be honest, it was a huge risk for the Ye family.

In the past, even if the Ye family encountered the replacement of the old and new Demon Lords, at most the previous generation would be sacrificed.

But at this moment, the entire Ye family is betting on their loyalty to the new Demon Lord. If this new Demon Lord is really replaced in the future, the Ye family may disappear from the demon world!

Despite this, he chose to trust his son's judgment!

Because he is now the real head of the Ye family, and he has already abdicated and has no right to object.

In addition, he saw infinite possibilities in this new demon king...

The Demon World was unified in a very short time, setting a new record for the fastest unification time in the history of the Demon World!

Moreover, there are more than a dozen top warriors in the demon world gathered around him, each of them is powerful enough to be the overlord of the demon world!

But those people all willingly surrendered to him and gathered around him!

He couldn't help but believe that this young new Demon Lord would really be the only Supreme Demon Lord in the Demon Realm in the future!

After getting Ye Junshou's consent, Ye Tianshen walked straight to Ning Yechen, knelt on one knee devoutly, bowed his head, and swore in a solemn voice:

"I! God Ye! I am willing to lead the Ye family to submit to you, Lord Demon, forever from now on. I will offer my absolute loyalty and sacrifice my life for you!"
