Capítulo 854: Chapter 663: Night Court Forces the Palace (2) In the hall, under Mi Lu’s stern questioning, many Demon Ministers began to react, looking at the Demon Lord with incredulous expressions, their emotions extremely complex. Zangxin saw that the atmosphere was ripe and appropriately said, “Though every word from the Young Lord is filled with anger, and there is no concrete evidence as Lord Yihe mentioned, all things have traces to follow. Lord Yihe has been in the Demon World for a short time, and moreover, there were many conflicts with His Majesty back in Xianling City. I truly cannot understand why His Majesty would suddenly favor you, even neglecting numerous significant state matters, focusing solely on marriage. This inevitably makes one suspect His Majesty’s intentions!” “Moreover, regarding the Monarch’s Return Banquet and the washing of the river, Lord Shu Ci indeed lost in a manner that raises suspicions. During today’s Night Court, I was supposed to summon Lord Shu Ci to strike the Heavenly Drum together, but I unintentionally found out that half a month ago, His Majesty, filled with overwhelming murderous intent, entered Qingxiao Mountain alone, after which Lord Shu Ci disappeared. Only the bloodstained anklet that never left her was brought back to the palace by His Majesty, and thinking about this…” This text is hosted at novel⚑fire.net Zangxin slowly lifted his dark eyes, appearing submissive but secretly harboring a chilling intent, “Perhaps His Majesty had already silenced her?” The hall suddenly erupted into chaos. If what Zangxin said were true, then this Demon Lord must be quite something! Shu Ci is different from ordinary Mohe; she existed in the same era as the Great God Pangu, before the world’s division into the Six Realms and the Five Elements. She co-founded the Demon World with the First Demon Emperor and was the first River Lord wielding the power of Mohe. Her status would not waver or change with the Monarch’s Return and the washing of the river. There are few examples of past Demon Lords killing Mohe, let alone Shu Ci. Even the First Demon Lord, knowing Shu Ci harbored ambition for the throne, dared not kill her personally, only sealing her away. Because Shu Ci symbolizes not just a Mohe but also the lifeline and destiny of the entire Demon World. The First Demon Lord highly valued her immortal body, believing that as long as Shu Ci remained, the Demon World would endure for millennia! Therefore, even though Shu Ci was stiff and indifferent, this never stopped past Demon Lords from considering her the only lucky charm of the Demon World. In front of Shu Ci, even heinous acts like matricide or killing the queen seem trivial. If Lord Shu Ci, the lucky charm, had indeed been silenced and killed by the Demon Lord, surely no one in the vast Demon World would dare continue supporting such a traitor. Such treacherous individuals! Ripping off wings, extracting demonic bones, and condemning to Wasteland City, to decay and rot with the sludge, wouldn’t be too much! “Our Demon Path, though born of the wild, has laws and order—children should not kill parents, ministers should not kill emperors! His Majesty, before inheriting the great united power, the Demon Queen perished in the Royal Mausoleum, leading us to mistakenly think she followed the Monarch. If His Majesty truly killed his mother for the throne, such a wolf-hearted person is unfit to be king!” As the speaker seemed angrily to express, the tone quickly shifted, “But His Majesty was young then, about to face divine punishment, and the Demon World was in crisis. Killing the only Demon Queen at such a time was surely unwise.” Zhiyu Yan said coldly, “Precisely because the Demon World was in peril, I, as the Demon Queen, naturally had the authority to rule. She suffered from divine punishment, losing her freedom, and even if she planned an escape, with such a frail abandoned body, it would take a thousand years to break free. Those thousand years were enough for me to stabilize the land and secure great fortune for my son. Had I not died, how could she now seize power amidst turmoil, stabilize the people’s hearts, and secure the throne?” “This…” The person, swaying with doubt, looked troubled. All unfavorable evidence and words pointed solely at the Demon Lord, and with Zangxin and Mi Lu’s master-servant duo working in concert, their ultimate goal was made clear. With Zangxin bowing deeply and shouting, “His Majesty committed patricide, matricide, killed Mohe, schemed to alienate the brother and sister-in-law, all unforgivable crimes. Now that the legitimate mother is in court, if His Majesty has any compassion left, do not let us rise in civil strife, I urge His Majesty to commit suicide and apologize! I, as a minister, will ensure a grand funeral with honor!” Mi Lu, with eyes lowered, followed, fiercely urging, “Please commit suicide!” With these two leading, the Night Court evolved into a ruthless and bloodthirsty coup attempt. In an instant, the Demon Ministers, still observing, seeing the Demon Lord’s great downfall, lowered their heads solemnly and loudly said: “Please commit suicide and apologize!” “Please commit suicide and apologize!” “Please commit suicide and apologize…” For Baili An, if this female demon truly ended matters here, naturally, the absurd marriage would be called off, and he wouldn’t have to become some Phoenix Monarch of the Demon World. And with this bloodline pressure on the relationship with the Demon Queen, he had no fear of the likes of Mi Lu. At this moment, the Demon Lord, surrounded on all sides, glanced at Baili An, seemingly more concerned about whether he would face this ordeal together with her… or choose self-preservation. In the hall, most Demon Ministers, whether inherently Zangxin’s people or opportunistic fence-sitters, became increasingly pressing, as if eager for her to draw her sword and destroy her primordial spirit on the spot. Only a few, though in cold sweat and pale-faced, did not advance further.
