Chapter 853: Chapter 663: Night Court Forces a Palace Coup Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ɴovelfire.net “So this is where you were waiting for Us.” Compared to the shock and anger of the gathered demons, the Female Demon Lord’s face remained unmoved. She smiled faintly at the Demon Queen, Zhi Yuyan, her eyes devoid of any emotion: “Seeing how confident you all are, you must have come well-prepared tonight. There’s no need for more pleasantries; if there are accusations to make, speak them clearly now. We do not have the patience to indulge your theatrics.” From below the stage, a Demon Minister questioned urgently: “Your Majesty, is what the Demon Queen said true?” “Did you truly poison the old Monarch back then?” “Your Majesty, did you really resort to such extreme measures for the throne?!” “Such folly! During the war between the Immortal World and our Demon World years ago, we suffered defeat after defeat, with our power waning over countless years. If the old Monarch were still alive, our vast Ancient Clan of the Demon World would not have fallen to being bullied by the Immortal World everywhere! If Your Majesty truly acted out of selfish motives, murdering the benevolent former monarch, then indeed you are unworthy of your position and should undergo severe punishment to cleanse the sins!” Now that all the evidence was irrefutable, seeing the woman on the throne showing such disdain, how could the Demon Ministers, who risked great taboo to attend this Night Court, not be filled with angry words? Among them, none was angrier than Young Lord Mi Lu: “Only today did I find out that my father and mother were harmed by you, just a discarded demon that couldn’t see the light of day. If it weren’t for my father’s favor and appreciation, how would you have ever risen to a position where you dare to act wildly above me!” His bloodshot eyes turned with malice, looking coldly at Baili An, his hoarse voice trembling with emotion: “Such a vile and base lower demon, how are you fit to be the monarch of our realm, becoming the Demon Lord by murdering your father and mother. Even if she were to promise you Ning Feiyan as a reward, it would amount to nothing. I, respected as her brother and honored as the Young Lord of the Demon World, but who in the Demon World does not know that Ning Feiyan is my future wife? Now she is being treated like a mere commodity, casually given to you. As the legitimate daughter, she has disgraced me, her elder brother, and caused me to lose my beloved wife! Hmph! Lord Zangxin already doubted your strength. Shu Ci is a person of tremendous power, comparable to the Demon Lord, yet he inexplicably lost to you in that young world. And why was my wife, Ning Feiyan, who is a respected and untouchable River Lord, plotted against and defamed as a filth demon, handed over to Lord Zangxin? Isn’t it clear that someone orchestrated these bizarre events from the shadows? With such a scheming mind, the one who plotted is truly malicious and terrifying, causing my life-long beloved to be humiliated before my eyes, yet unable to be acknowledged! My dear… “Ha.” A soft laugh interrupted Young Lord Mi Lu’s angry and agitated rant. Baili An’s eyes flickered with mockery: “If she were indeed your life-long beloved, how could you mistake a filth demon for her true form? Such stupidity aside, I really wonder what gives His Highness the confidence to speak so righteously here, seemingly having forgotten the incident at the Monarch’s Return Banquet where you blindly believed deceitful words and struck Ning Feiyan with murderous intent.” Even in such a heavy atmosphere, among the murmuring Demon Ministers, some couldn’t help but laugh. Young Lord Mi Lu’s face flushed with anger and shame: “Who are you calling Feiyan! If it weren’t for you, this treacherous brat, colluding with the Demon Lord behind the scenes, plotting to frame! How could there have been this chasm between my wife and me, allowing you to take advantage!” Baili An turned a cold gaze: “His Highness, speaking , must have evidence, correct?” Mi Lu’s expression was furious: “My cold-hearted sister had long known I couldn’t part with Ning Feiyan! Ning Feiyan is a companion given by the Enchanting Demon Clan. Years ago, when I suffered a deviation in my cultivation, only marriage with her could stabilize my condition. Enchanting Demons are born with Spiritual Power, and Ning Feiyan is a rare and exceptional Enchanting Demon, perfect for protecting my life and my heart. Now she helps you take away my wife! Leaving no suitable one to heal me, it’s clear she wants to eliminate those around me after my father, to take my life and secure her position as Demon Lord! Meanwhile, she can use a mere woman to make you serve her with utter devotion, achieving her goals in one fell swoop, indeed a beautiful scheme!” Baili An’s smile grew colder: “Listening to this tone, what His Highness lacks isn’t a wife, but a mere tool for your cultivation and healing.” The Female Demon Lord, who had been sitting on the throne originally in good spirits, now showed signs of anger in her eyes, coldly curling her lips: “So in my brother’s mind, I would be foolish enough to shoot myself in the foot.” To think she would be foolish enough, either brain-damaged or heartless, to consider gifting him a woman to make him serve her with utter devotion?!! If Mi Lu were truly capable of marrying that scorpion-hearted vile woman, she might truly laugh in her sleep! It would be an extra boost for her dear brother, with half the kingdom offered as dowry. Let him soon bring that heart-stealing cat who steals under her very gaze into Zhaoyu Palace so she could turn a blind eye! Alas, he has no skill, merely noble blood and status, unable to tame that sharp-clawed wildcat. Instead, the person she fancies not only tames the wildcat, but here he is making wild assumptions, throwing mud at her?!!! “Do you not know if you have shot yourself in the foot!” Mi Lu, paying no heed to the murderous intent in the Female Demon Lord’s eyes, continued to shout loudly: “Since childhood, you were skilled in scheming, deeply strategic. Otherwise, how would a discarded demon, growing up in the sunless Wasteland City, gain father’s favor and be brought back to Mo City? You always have your ways. At the Monarch’s Return Banquet, who knows what method you used to make Shu Ci obey you, even willingly giving up the River Lord’s prestigious position. Afterwards, you aimed to take the new River Lord as your Royal Consort Phoenix Monarch, intending to train a River Lord completely subservient to you!”
