The Demon King took several deep breaths. The person in front of him was the benefactor of the Demon Clan, whose strength was comparable to his own, and even stronger than his own now. He couldn't get angry!
"Given the current situation in the Demon Realm, I have done my best."
“No, you didn’t.” After saying that, An Ge became serious, her tone solemn. “While the demon race’s warlike nature has its reasons, it is more due to the policies of those in power. There are ways to make the demon race prosperous, at least some bad policies need to be changed.”
Soon, the Demon King announced that the witch who opened the Holy Tower was the newest Holy Maiden born in ten thousand years of the Demon Clan. She was not only powerful, saving the Demon King who had been in a coma, but also possessed the power of the Demon God, a blessing bestowed upon the Demon Realm by the Demon God.
The Demon King also stated that his body has not fully recovered, and during this period, the Holy Maiden will handle all matters concerning the Demon Clan.
An Ge really didn't expect the Demon King to raise his banner so high, even bringing out the Demon God.
"Do demon gods really exist?" An Ge knew that there were many gods in the divine realm. If she accidentally bumped into a demon god, she would offend another god without even realizing it.
"Maybe not, who knows? The Demon God sounds much more reliable than that so-called God of Darkness. Getting involved with a god will make things easier for you," the Demon King said.
An Ge decided to take back her words about the Demon King being naive. The old fox was still the most cunning, and the old Demon King was much more experienced at lying than she was.
With the Demon God's personal certification, and the fact that Ange opened the Holy Tower in full view of everyone, it was impossible to fake. Therefore, the demons accepted Ange's appointment as a saintess and even her authority as the Demon King.
As for the Saintess's true status and power, so much time has passed that no one cares anymore.
Suddenly gaining power in the Demon Realm brought An Ge no joy. If Lu Yan were here, she would have gladly dumped all this mess on him. Unfortunately, the holographic ring still couldn't contact everyone, which at least proved that Lu Yan was far away from her at the moment.
Thinking about Hu Jiu's ascension, An Ge felt that Lu Yan probably wouldn't be able to get away for the time being. She did want to leave the Demon Clan and go directly to the Monster Clan or return to the Tianyan Sect, but firstly, the Demon King had not yet recovered, and if the First Prince really wanted to force the abdication, even the Four Demon Lords might not be able to stop him.
Secondly, there are no teleportation arrays between the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm or the Human Realm. Even riding the fastest magical beast, it would take at least two or three months. Now is a critical period for the Demon Realm, and no one can guarantee what might happen during this time.
"I am truly the light of the Demon Realm!" An Ge had originally mocked herself, but little did she expect her words to come true. She had never worried about the Demon Realm this much when she was at the Immortal Fate Base. She could actually stay out of the Demon Realm's affairs; at least the Demon Realm wouldn't be destroyed when Lu Yan returned. But when she thought of Shi Ying and the villagers' simple smiles, An Ge felt that she should do something for the Demon Realm.
Not all demons readily accepted the sudden appearance of a saintess in the demon realm. Despite the Crown Prince's many years of effort, a very small number of demons still surrendered their faith to the God of Darkness.
The one who most opposed An Ge becoming a saintess was none other than the eldest prince.
"Father, Saintess An's origins are unknown. Isn't it too easy for her to hand over the power of the Demon Realm so easily?"
"What, do you think a witch of unknown origin has the ability to open the Holy Tower? Or do you disagree with the will of the Demon God?" His eldest son liked to believe in gods, so he would respond with the words of God.
If he hadn't wanted to uncover the power behind Lu Qingyang, he would have stopped pretending to be a loving father and filial son long ago.
Lu Qingyang was furious. He had already asked the God of Darkness, and there was no such thing as a demon god in the Divine Realm. For tens of thousands of years, this non-existent god had occupied the faith of the demon race, which was simply ridiculous.
No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't tell the demons that the Demon God didn't exist, nor could he dare say that he had already sided with the God of Darkness. Faced with the Demon King's oppression, Lu Qingyang lowered his head, "Father is right."
Since the Demon King awoke, his guard had grown increasingly high, and he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to control him with the black mist. Now, unable to contact the gods, he dared not act rashly. The more this was the case, the deeper his hatred for An Ge, the saintess who had suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans, grew.
After being reprimanded by the Demon King, Lu Qingyang walked out of the palace in anger, where he happened to run into An Ge, who was there to talk to the Demon King.
At this moment, An Ge was dressed in a gorgeous black dress, holding a scepter representing the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, and followed by the four Demon Lords, looking quite imposing.
"Didn't the Holy Maiden even bow to me when she saw this prince?" As soon as Lu Qingyang finished speaking, he regretted it. He was so angry that he dared to say what he really thought.
An Ge remained calm, her face showing neither joy nor sorrow. "This Holy Maiden now only obeys the Demon King. If the Crown Prince is dissatisfied, he may seek orders from the Demon King."
The eldest prince finally understood why he was so displeased with such a beautiful witch: it was because of her arrogant attitude, as if nothing could evoke any emotion in this saintess.
"No matter what, I am the eldest prince of the Demon Clan. The Holy Maiden should think carefully before she acts."
An Ge naturally understood his implied meaning and couldn't help but find it a little amusing. Even she, an outsider who had only recently arrived in the Demon Realm, knew that bloodline alone couldn't win over the demons. The First Prince always took pride in his bloodline, but he was quite adept at playing the human game.
She shook her head with an expression that said, "The child is being naive." "This holy maiden still needs to discuss matters with His Majesty the Demon King. Would the First Prince like to join us?"
Lu Qingyang was taken aback by An Ge's nonchalant attitude and snorted coldly, "I hope the Holy Maiden can be triumphant in the end." He wanted to listen, but the Demon King seemed to have become wary of him, and now he had almost no room to interfere in the important matters of the Demon Realm.
He had managed his business for over a hundred years, only to realize that all his hard work had come to nothing when the Demon King awoke.
An Ge didn't say anything, but the four Demon Lords behind her couldn't stand it anymore. They had had a lot of contact with Saintess An recently, and they were deeply impressed by both her strength and personality. The four Demon Lords liked this Saintess from the bottom of their hearts. She was of high status and strength, and she was devoted to the Demon Realm but did not look down on them.
"Your Highness, please watch your words. The Holy Maiden is under the command of the Demon God, and even the Demon King treats her with utmost respect." The Crimson Flame Demon Lord, who was most protective of An Ge because of the Holy Tower, spoke first.
"You!" Lu Qingyang exclaimed angrily, "Utterly foolish!" With that, he stormed off. He really had nothing more to say to these demons who believed in gods.
The Crimson Flame Demon Lord felt indignant on An Ge's behalf, saying, "Your Highness, you are too kind-hearted. The First Prince should be taught a lesson for what he did."
An Ge smiled and shook her head, speaking with righteous indignation, "With the Demon God above, he will be exceptionally tolerant of every subject. As long as it's not harmful to the demon race, it's merely disrespectful to this Holy Maiden, so what does it matter?"
Upon hearing An Ge's words, the demons became even more respectful towards him.
