If the King of Jing wanted to take this opportunity to show off and overshadow the Demon Emperor, it wouldn't be impossible.
"And perhaps it could be the Demon Lord..." The Demon Emperor's words made Luan Wang's heart skip a beat. This answer was too exciting!
"How could the Demon Lord cause chaos in the Demon Realm? Besides, they made a big move just the day before." King Luan couldn't believe it no matter how hard he tried.
"The impossible is the most likely." The Demon Emperor's cold gaze was fixed on the void. It seemed that someone was stirring up chaos in the Three Realms.
Moreover, with so many threads and no clear starting point, who will ultimately benefit?
Chapter 128 Seeking Support
King Luan looked at the Demon Emperor in surprise, not understanding why his king thought that way.
The Demon Emperor, in a rare good mood, explained to King Luan: "The Three Realms are currently like a pool of water. How can you fish in troubled waters if you don't stir things up?"
"Huh?" King Luan couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, staring dumbfounded at the Demon Emperor.
What does this mean?
Fortunately, the Prince of Luan was not really stupid; he just hadn't quite processed the news that had surprised him.
After thinking quietly for a moment, she looked up in surprise: "Does Your Majesty mean... the Demon Lord also wants the Three Realms?"
The Demon Emperor's icy fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair, a smile on his face that could freeze a person to death. He slowly asked Luan Wang, "If he had no ambition, how could he have allowed the Demon God to remain in the Demon Realm for a thousand years?"
The Demon Lord has truly been patient for a thousand years.
At first, he didn't understand the problem of the demon realm. The upheaval in the three realms caused considerable damage to each realm.
In his efforts to stabilize the Demon Realm, he had no time to ponder the situation in the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm.
It wasn't until things stabilized later that he thought about the issue of the demon god entering the demon realm and becoming its protector.
Logically speaking, no emperor would allow anyone who threatens his position to exist around him.
However, this is definitely a very special existence compared to the existence of the Demon God.
He always believed it was a stopgap measure that the Demon Lord had no choice but to take.
The Demon Lord's power is not weak, but the elders around him have lost too much strength, and coupled with the incompetence of the Demon Lord's only heir, Yu Xinyi, he has no choice but to temporarily rely on the power of the Demon God for protection.
So much time has passed, and he hasn't seen the Demon Lord make any move against the Demon God, which makes him very strange.
Now that he knows about Yu Jinshuo, he understands a little better the significance of the Demon Lord's actions.
Could it be that they intend to use Yu Jinshuo's affair to deplete the power of the demon realm, and then, during the chaos of the three realms, cause the power of the demon god to be excessively depleted?
As the guardian of the demon realm, the demon god's actions are observed by both the immortal and demon realms.
The Demon God has done his utmost to quell the chaos and help the demon realm overcome crises time and time again.
That was absolutely giving it your all.
If the Three Realms descend into chaos once more, the Demon God will surely exert all his strength to protect the Demon Realm.
The last chaos in the Three Realms came to an abrupt end with the appearance of the Demon God. This was because the Demon God's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, and also because of the Demon God's sudden appearance.
Now that a thousand years have passed, it's believed that not only the Demon Realm but also the Immortal Realm have made ample preparations against the Demon God's strength. Will the Demon God still be able to win so easily?
That's impossible, of course.
Yu Jinshuo's mysterious disappearance will inevitably cause turmoil within the demon realm. Outside, the three realms are in chaos. The demon lord can offer very little help to the demon god, but the external crises facing the demon god are increasing.
In this case, the demon god would inevitably be either killed or seriously injured.
The chaos in the Three Realms has subsided, the Demon God has been seriously injured and died, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. This must be what the Demon Lord was planning.
It not only severely damaged the vitality of both the immortal and demon realms, but also eliminated the thorn in the side of the demon god.
This is truly a win-win situation.
Therefore, he now believes there is an 80% chance that Yu Jinshuo's disappearance is related to the Demon Lord.
He eliminated Yu Jinshuo, who coveted the position of Demon Lord, and also took down the Demon God, who was revered by everyone in the Demon Realm. Finally, he successfully dealt with the Immortal and Demon Realms, which had exhausted their strength.
The Demon Lord has a really good plan.
The Demon Emperor chuckled coldly, completely ignoring the King Luan, who trembled with fear and turned pale at the sight of his smile. His mind was entirely focused on the affairs of the Demon Realm.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the Demon Lord is no simple character.
"Good plan!" The Demon Emperor clapped his hands together, raised an eyebrow and smiled.
It was hard to tell whether the smile on his face was approval or mockery, but it made Luan Wang's heart tremble. What was wrong with the Demon Emperor?
What are you thinking about?
The Demon Emperor was naturally praising the Demon Lord's profound thoughts and his ability to endure; such cunning was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The mockery was, of course, directed at the demon god.
Those people who were once so high and mighty, like gods, now seemed like clowns, being completely manipulated by the Demon Lord.
It became a stepping stone for the Demon Lord to ascend to the supreme position in the Three Realms.
Although it is unknown why the Demon God insisted on protecting the Demon Realm, so selflessly and even at the cost of everything.
However, he knew that if another great chaos were to break out in the Three Realms this time, it would probably be far more exciting than the last one.
The Demon Lord's move was particularly brilliant. He spent a thousand years laying the groundwork, indulging Yu Jinshuo, plotting against the Demon God, and manipulating the Three Realms. It was truly perfect.
Normally, it's safe to say that the final winner will definitely be the Demon Lord.
It's just... a pity...
The Demon Lord overlooked one crucial detail: Liu Lanyan's strength.
Back in the forbidden area, Liu Lanyan displayed her strength, which the Demon Lord witnessed.
However, judging from the fact that the Immortal Realm is eager to join forces with them, Liu Lanyan's strength is definitely not as simple as it was shown in the forbidden area of the Demon Realm.
It seems that Liu Lanyan's strength is far greater than the Demon Lord imagined.
With Liu Lanyan being such an unstable factor, the Demon Lord's seemingly perfect plan may very well end up being a complete waste of effort.
It's still hard to say who will be the final winner. What he needs to do now is wait for the most suitable time to make his move.
"Pay close attention to the situation of the King of Jing. If anything happens to him now, he won't report back." After thinking it over, the Demon Emperor gave the King of Luan a seemingly unrelated task.
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Luan quickly replied, "Yes."
No need to report anymore, does that mean that if the King of Jing does anything else, we can just kill him without reporting it?
Thinking this through, the Prince of Luan naturally wouldn't ask such a pointless question, and left after bowing.
After leaving the Demon Palace, I happened to see King Qi about to enter at the main gate. I frowned slightly. King Qi has never been involved in the affairs of the Demon Realm and is considered a neutral person. Why is he going to see the Demon Emperor at this time?
Thinking of this, King Luan stepped forward and greeted him: "King Qi."
The King of Qi, who was in a hurry, was clearly startled by the King of Luan's sudden voice. When he came to his senses and saw that it was him, he suppressed his surprise and said, "King of Luan."
"Does the King of Qi have something to say?" the King of Luan asked curiously.
"I have something I'd like to report to Your Majesty," King Qi said, clearly not wanting to discuss it further with anyone else.
Since that was the case, King Luan said nothing, nodded, and stepped aside, thoughtfully watching King Qi's retreating figure as he hurriedly entered the Demon Palace.
"Your Majesty..." After bowing to the Demon Emperor, King Qi went straight to the point without any preamble, "Please reconsider the matter of joining forces with the Immortal Realm."
"What are you going to think about?" The Demon Emperor leaned back in his chair and glanced sideways at King Qi. "I have already agreed."
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm definitely wants to use our Demon Realm. We shouldn't create trouble for ourselves." King Qi clearly did not approve of the alliance between the Immortal and Demon Realms.
The Demon Emperor's gaze was fixed on King Qi's face, like an ice blade piercing King Qi's heart, a temperature high enough to freeze a person. King Qi actually suppressed his fear and stood there motionless, staring at the Demon Emperor.
“King Qi…” the Demon Emperor began slowly.
When his name was called, King Qi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty."
"From the very beginning, you have been a special existence in the Demon Realm. Why are you so agitated today?" The Demon Emperor's voice was very cold, whether it was due to his usual habits or because he had murderous intent towards King Qi.
King Qi did not back down and calmly said, "I have always been doing this for the Demon Realm."
The King of Qi spoke in an ordinary way, just like his appearance and voice; he was the kind of person who wouldn't leave a lasting impression after just one glance.
They would go unnoticed if thrown into a crowd, quickly disappearing into the throng.
That statement was nothing more than a high-sounding platitude.
However, at this moment, King Qi spoke earnestly, and the Demon Emperor listened attentively. Neither of them spoke, but they stared at each other, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.
"King Qi, have I overlooked you?" The Demon Emperor truly realized that from the very beginning, he had never truly understood King Qi.
King Qi looked at the Demon Emperor. Although there was a difference in their status, neither of them could suppress the other in terms of aura.
The Demon Emperor re-examined the Prince of Qi in his heart. This Prince of Qi had never been able to see through him, nor could he fathom him.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly unremarkable King Qi possessed such a terrifying aura.
Under the Demon Emperor's icy gaze, King Qi's imposing manner remained undiminished. However, he slowly lowered his body and knelt before the Demon Emperor's throne: "Your Majesty, for the safety of the Demon Realm, please do not ally with the Immortal Realm."
King Qi knelt down, but this action did not diminish his imposing presence in the slightest. This was the first time the Demon Emperor had ever seen King Qi like this.
Their piercing eyes stared at him, as if trying to see through his soul. This feeling made the Demon Emperor involuntarily frown.
"This matter need not trouble King Qi." The Demon Emperor looked at King Qi seriously, not giving an inch.
Clearly, the Demon Emperor's answer took King Qi by surprise. King Qi swayed very slightly, but the Demon Emperor noticed it.
After performing a very solemn bow while still kneeling, the King of Qi rose and left silently.
The Demon Emperor's brows twitched as he watched Qi Wang's tall and imposing figure.
He had indeed overlooked the King of Qi before. There was nothing he could do; the King of Qi was just too ordinary, so ordinary that it was hard not to overlook him.
Once he was certain that the King of Qi was harmless, if the King of Qi hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have remembered such a person at all.
