Compared to Ange, the Demon King grew increasingly impatient with his son. "If the royal family's prestige relies solely on the Holy Tower, then the royal family has no reason to exist." These words from the Demon King reveal just how dissatisfied he is with the current royal family.
These royals are basically all related to him by blood, but with so many bloodlines, he doesn't really care about the others except for a few he has his eye on.
Lu Qingyang was taken aback by the Demon King's harsh words. He was about to say something more when the Demon King impatiently said, "For the royal family, entering the Holy Tower is much easier than for ordinary people. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with? Alright, as I've said, all matters concerning the Demon Clan have been entrusted to the Holy Maiden. If you're dissatisfied, go and offer your suggestions to her. I'm feeling unwell, so you may leave."
Lu Qingyang swallowed his anger, once again convinced that the Demon King had truly let go. It was precisely because of this that he was even more resentful.
She had worked hard for a hundred years but still couldn't get all the power. Yet, an unknown outsider demon had managed to win over the four demon lords in a short time and even made the entire demon race obey her. She was angry but even more jealous.
Lu Qingyang believed that the reason An Ge was able to control the demon race in a short period of time was because of the Holy Tower.
"If only the Holy Tower were destroyed!" Lu Qingyang's eyes were deep as an idea gradually took shape in his mind.
An Ge knew that her orders would be opposed by the First Prince's faction, and she was prepared to be questioned. However, after waiting for a long time, she did nothing except hear that the First Prince had complained to the Demon King.
"What is Lu Qingyang up to?" An Ge wondered. Compromise? Impossible. Knowing his personality, he's probably plotting something. Rather than being passive, she'd better take the initiative and make trouble for Lu Qingyang while she had some free time.
An Ge gazed into the distance toward the First Prince's residence, a villainous smile spreading across her face.
The eldest prince has given her a hard time in front of all the demons. Don't be fooled by her seemingly magnanimous demeanor; she's actually quite petty!
The nights in the Demon Realm are almost pitch black. An Ge thought of the gods behind Lu Qingyang and dared not be careless. She carefully concealed her presence as she entered the First Prince's residence.
Compared to the Demon King's Palace, the First Prince's residence could be described as luxurious. Of course, this luxury was only relative to the demon race. After all, the demons, from top to bottom, exuded poverty.
Upon entering the First Prince's residence, An Ge sensed a familiar aura, an aura she had also felt in the post-apocalyptic world.
"As expected, an old friend!" Ange thought of Rhodes and felt a surge of hatred, which made her even more dislikeful of the Crown Prince. Now that Rhodes was being watched by the Alliance's gods and dared not show himself easily, the Crown Prince must have lost his support.
An Ge had originally planned to secretly investigate the First Prince's residence, but after sensing this aura, she suddenly changed her mind.
Before, she was hesitant and timid because she didn't know Rhodes' methods, but now that she has confronted Rhodes head-on, why should she be afraid of being discovered by him? Thinking of this, An Ge regained her composure and swaggered towards the Crown Prince's residence.
The moment An Ge appeared, the First Prince sensed something was wrong. He was, after all, a seventh-level Demon Lord, yet he only noticed her presence when she was almost upon him!
Lu Qingyang took out the jade bottle, and only then did he feel more confident. "Who is this person?"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Ge walked over as if strolling in a garden. "Good evening, Your Highness. The night is long and I have no desire to sleep, so I came to have a chat with you."
Lu Qingyang didn't think he had anything to talk about with An Ge. "Your Highness, why are you talking to me instead of sleeping?"
An Ge grinned. "Of course, let's talk about the deity behind you. By the way, haven't you seen him in a long time? Would you like to know how this deity is doing now?"
Lu Qingyang looked at the saintess, who was completely different from the one during the day, and became secretly wary. When he heard her mention gods, his heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface. "What nonsense is the saintess talking about? What gods? I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, that's fine. I was originally going to tell you about the God of Darkness."
Lu Qingyang's heart tightened, and then he landed. The Holy Maiden must be bluffing him; how could a mere mortal demon possibly know anything about the gods?
"You should say this to my second brother. What's the point of telling me? Or does the Holy Maiden think that I, the prince, am on the same side as that dark god who destroyed the Holy Tower?"
An Ge clicked her tongue twice. "No fun. You have a way to contact Rhodes, oh, you mean the God of Darkness, right? He and I are old friends, and I have a few words to say to him."
Lu Qingyang was furious. "If the Holy Maiden wants to frame me, she should at least provide evidence." Seeing An Ge's stunning beauty, he smiled maliciously. "Holy Maiden, coming to my residence so late at night, aren't you afraid I might do something?"
An Ge raised an eyebrow. "Isn't the Crown Prince afraid that the patrolling demons in the manor will hear the commotion?" Her identity is special, and if word gets out that she has been attacked, the Crown Prince will have a hard time explaining himself.
"Haha!" Lu Qingyang seemed to have heard something funny. "I have already notified the guards to evacuate. Even if Her Highness screams her lungs out today, no one will notice."
Upon seeing An Ge, Lu Qingyang had no intention of letting her leave safely. He not only ordered the demon guards to withdraw but also sealed off the area so that no matter what happened, it would go unnoticed.
He was just worried about not having a chance to get close to An Ge alone, but unexpectedly she came to him herself.
Regarding An Ge's strength, Lu Qingyang didn't think she was stronger than him. The demon race had treasures that could determine age, and An Ge's bone age was what it was; no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't be that much stronger. The fact that she entered the First Prince's residence undetected before might mean she possessed some kind of treasure.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang's gaze towards An Ge turned wicked. The Demon Clan had him; they never needed a saintess.
An Ge had noticed something was wrong when the isolation array was set up here. Hearing Lu Qingyang say that the guards had been transferred, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved now."
The isolation array wasn't very high-level; if there was too much noise, it would still attract the guards' attention. An Ge, still worried, thoughtfully reinforced the array.
Lu Qingyang was puzzled. The other party should have been afraid, but he looked calm, which gave him a bad feeling. "What do you mean, 'don't worry'?"
An Ge smiled brightly, "Of course I'm not worried, I'll beat you up!" After saying that, she took the initiative to strike.
Lu Qingyang sneered, "Overestimating yourself!" Only after receiving An Ge's palm strike did he realize how terrifying An Ge's strength was.
An Ge was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that the eldest prince, whose talent wasn't particularly outstanding, was almost at the level of a demon king. Fortunately, she was currently in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, equivalent to the strength of a high-level demon king, so defeating a seventh-level demon lord wouldn't be difficult for her.
The eldest prince's cultivation was built up by borrowing the power of the gods, and his actual combat ability was extremely poor. An Ge almost completely overwhelmed him and didn't even use much magic power.
