The Demon King revealed his secret, and An Ge felt that they were, after all, comrades-in-arms. Her infiltration of the demon race was a last resort, so revealing her identity was harmless. Of course, she still needed to conceal her identity as a chosen one and a disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect.
"That kid Lu Yan isn't as good-looking as the Hu family's son, and he's not as strong either. He can't even win a woman's heart. What a disgrace." The Demon King couldn't help but complain. When he thought about An Ge's identity being related to the demon race, he felt both heartache and relief.
The relationship between the demon race and the monster race is at least relatively good; at least An Ge will not harm the demon race.
An Ge felt that the Demon King's attitude towards Lu Yan was a bit strange, but now was not the time to discuss that. The most important thing was to ask about the situation at the Holy Tower.
Because An Ge saved him and was also Lu Yan's friend, the Demon King told the Holy Tower everything he knew: "Because the Holy Tower is closed, the number of top-tier demons has been decreasing over the past hundred years. If this continues, the strength of the demons will be greatly weakened."
An Ge understood. No wonder she had heard that the demons had been peaceful and rarely harassed the human race for the past hundred years; it turned out that their own backyard was on fire.
Although the black mist within the Demon King had been dispelled, his body remained weak. Seeing his listless appearance, An Ge couldn't bear to bully the old man. Just as dawn was approaching, she bid farewell to the Demon King and returned to the side hall without any obstacles.
Tian Qian hadn't slept all night, and only breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw An Ge appear. "You're finally back. Are you alright?"
An Ge shook her head, looking at the dark circles under the other person's eyes, and was somewhat moved. "I told you I was very capable. Look at you now, you're almost like a panda. Go to sleep. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problems during the day."
What is a panda? Tian Qian looked at An Ge with a puzzled expression, but in the end, An Ge forcefully dragged her to sleep.
The reason the eldest prince was issuing orders was because the Demon King was in a coma. Now that the Demon King has awakened and knows that An Ge has the ability to fight against the gods, he has changed his previous indifference to worldly affairs and immediately began to reclaim his power.
His first order was to send the selected women back to their original locations, where they could marry as they pleased. This order was, of course, issued at An Ge's request.
The noble witches wept upon hearing the news. In contrast, the young ladies in the side hall were almost all beaming with joy.
"We can go home now. The Demon King has finally been wise for once."
The wise one isn't the Demon King, it's her! An Ge silently swallowed these words as she looked at everyone's happy faces.
Tian Qian knew more about the situation than others, and remembering An Ge's promise to let them return safely, she felt a little suspicious. "An Ge, was it you?"
Shh! It's a secret.
Tian Qian nodded, touched. She knew that An Ge's identity was not as simple as it seemed, and that she had important business to attend to at the palace, so she did not invite her to be a guest. "Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
An Ge nodded. "Of course, I won't forget someone who dares to provoke me."
A single sentence dispelled the sadness of parting, and everyone was overjoyed, quickly packing their belongings and waiting for the convoy to return.
At this moment, in the Crown Prince's palace, Lu Qingyang was still dreaming of having another wave of beautiful witches when he heard the Demon King's order.
"When did that old man wake up?"
The servant trembled as he said, "It seems that in the past two days, the people we planted in the palace have all been purged by the king, and there has been no news for a while."
After the initial shock, Lu Qingyang was filled with anger. "That old bastard, he's almost dead and still dares to act up. It seems we can't let him live."
A century has passed, and although the four Demon Lords are not convinced of his abilities, they at least outwardly show him respect. Unexpectedly, as soon as the old man awoke, they all obeyed the old Demon King.
If it weren't for the limited number of divine objects bestowed by the gods, he wouldn't have spared even the four great demon lords.
"All these years of trying to win them over have been for nothing. I want to see what kind of confidence they have left in the old Demon King they've been loyal to." He was no longer the weak First Prince he used to be. With the black mist that controlled the Demon King, he felt that the entire Demon Race was under his control.
What worries him is that he hasn't heard any divine pronouncements for a long time. In the past, although the gods were displeased with him, he could at least get some response when he sincerely worshipped them. But for the past few months, no matter what method he used, the gods seemed to have disappeared.
"The gods must be too busy," Lu Qingyang comforted himself. The thought of not having completed the tasks assigned by the gods for so many years made him feel uneasy. However, among all the demon royal families, only his status and bloodline allowed him to rightfully inherit the throne of the Demon King. Even if the gods were dissatisfied, they could only place their hopes on him.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince instantly regained his confidence!
As long as the Holy Tower remains closed, the people's resentment towards the gods will not dissipate. Fortunately, he wasn't the one who acted impulsively back then, otherwise he would be in the same predicament as the Second Prince.
Last time, the god said he would replace the Holy Tower with a Demon Tower. Once the Demon Tower is obtained, and with his propaganda, the demons will eventually regard it as the new Holy Tower and thus become convinced of the god's power.
Besides the matter of the Demon Tower, he also had very little black mist left, which was why he was eager to contact the gods.
Lu Qingyang was somewhat relieved that he hadn't dealt the fatal blow while the Demon King was unconscious. The old Demon King was indeed not as weak as he had imagined; he had actually been able to remain conscious for so long this time. If he had actually taken action before, he might not have escaped unscathed.
However, after so many years, even the strongest power should have been almost completely depleted, right?
Lu Qingyang was just thinking about finding an opportunity to regain control of the Demon King when he heard the news that the Demon King was summoning him.
The father and son had never fallen out in a century, so their meeting was naturally a scene of paternal love and filial piety. However, An Ge was not concerned about how the Demon King would treat his malicious children. At this moment, holding the Demon King's token, she arrived at the Holy Tower without any hindrance.
The moment Ange saw the Holy Tower, she felt a sense of unease. Unlike the Holy Tower she had imagined, the tower before her was entirely white jade, exuding holiness. The closer she got, the more she felt she couldn't suppress the magic within her.
An Ge knew it was because her spiritual power was becoming somewhat uncontrollable under the influence of the disguise potion. Compared to the sacredness of the Demon Clan's Holy Tower, the impact of the disguise potion on her was even more alarming.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly sensed a strong emotion in her mind: "Let me out!"
An Ge was stunned for a moment because Qing Yan talked too much nonsense. She usually ignored it. Qing Yan was also used to being locked in the dark room. This was the first time she had ever been so eager to come out and even expended the power of the artifact spirit to convey her emotions.
An Ge quickly unblocked Qing Yan, and a string of words instantly flooded into her mind like flies.
