What does this mean?
Why would Yu Xinyi, whom they usually didn't think much of, make such a "big move"?
"Xinyi, what's wrong with you...?" Clearly, even the Demon Lord was shocked.
He was usually heartbroken by Yu Xinyi's behavior, but he never missed an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
He was heartbroken to know that his son was not making progress, but he never expected that his son would suddenly make such progress.
He's improved so much that he doesn't even recognize him anymore.
Mo Yun turned his head and exchanged a glance with Liu Lanyan. Sure enough, Yu Xinyi had been cultivating his own power.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xinyi had been waiting for the right opportunity all along. It turned out that his preparations were in case Yu Jinshuo suddenly turned against him.
The Demon Lord was almost driven to the brink of despair just now. If it weren't for Yu Xinyi's support, he probably would have had to bow down under the pressure from Yu Jinshuo's men.
Things are completely different now.
The power that Yu Xinyi handed over to the Demon Lord could completely suppress Yu Jinshuo. In other words, not only is Yu Jinshuo's whereabouts currently unknown, but even if he were in the main hall, he wouldn't have any advantage.
Yu Jinshuo's men obediently shut their mouths. Now they could only wait and see how things went before making any plans. They knew they couldn't win by fighting head-on.
"Xinyi, what exactly is going on?" The Demon Lord was, after all, the Demon Lord, and quickly calmed down, asking Yu Xinyi.
She gently stroked the smooth, warm jade pendant in her hand, waiting for Yu Xinyi's explanation.
Yu Xinyi lowered her eyes slightly, then suddenly lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down on the ground.
The Demon Lord merely frowned slightly at Yu Xinyi's sudden action, without uttering a sound.
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain; the demon realm only needs one master." Yu Xinyi's words were simple and clear, and everyone in the hall understood them perfectly.
I was deeply shocked by Yu Xinyi's profound sense of righteousness.
The rightful heir to the Demon Lord's throne could actually suppress all his ambitions and endure the infamy, all for the sake of maintaining the peace of the Demon Realm. This was something no one had expected from Yu Xinyi.
Yu Xinyi's image was completely overturned. He suddenly rose from an ignorant and spoiled brat to a righteous and forbearing person who was deeply concerned about the safety of the demon realm. Such a contrast was hard for people to accept at first.
That's amazing.
"Good! Good! Good!" The demon lord didn't know what to say, and just kept saying "good" over and over again.
His eyes were misty with tears; he was clearly very excited.
The Demon Lord went down and helped Yu Xinyi up. He couldn't bear to beat or scold such a son.
Turning to the Demon God, he asked, "Lord, things don't seem so troublesome anymore. Shouldn't we rethink our plans?"
Mo Yun nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever on his face.
Yu Xinyi glanced at the Demon God and understood. Liu Lanyan had indeed told the Demon God about his matter.
"Very well." Mo Yun glanced at Yu Jinshuo's subordinates but made no other comment.
Apart from Liu Jinli, the other three elders wholeheartedly acknowledged Yu Xinyi.
In the beginning, they always regarded Yu Jinshuo as the next demon lord, so even if Yu Jinshuo was arrogant on weekdays, no one would say anything.
Now, things are completely different.
Comparing Yu Jinshuo and Yu Xinyi side by side, they are worlds apart.
Relying on his strength and status, Yu Jinshuo acted arrogantly and disregarded the Demon Lord, as if he had already placed himself in the position of the Demon Lord.
He even openly and subtly displayed his extraordinary status in every way.
In contrast, Yu Xinyi has been concealing his strength, not for fame or fortune, but for the stability of the demon realm.
Having witnessed Yu Jinshuo's strength, they automatically concealed their own, refraining from competing with him.
Now look at the power that Yu Xinyi wields; it is in no way inferior to that of Yu Jinshuo.
With these two people before you, it's obvious who is the most suitable successor to the Demon Lord position—it's Yu Xinyi, without even a second thought.
The Demon Lord looked at the people in the hall: "You all go down first. No matter what, do your best to find Yu Jinshuo. We must find him alive or dead. We don't know when the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm will attack. We must eliminate all potential threats."
"Yes." Regardless of what the people in the hall were thinking, they respectfully replied and withdrew.
The person with the most complicated feelings here is probably Yu Jinshuo's subordinate. He needs to find the prince quickly, otherwise things will really get complicated.
"Xinyi, you child, you really are... really... sigh..." The Demon Lord stammered for a long time, but still couldn't get to the bottom of it.
His lips trembled slightly, revealing that he was very excited.
Yu Xinyi said nothing, but just looked at the Demon Lord with a smile.
In fact, he really didn't expect to reveal his strength to everyone at this time, but his father had been driven to the brink of despair, so how could he continue to hide it?
"My lord, with Xin Yi's power now, if Yu Jinshuo really wants to cause trouble within the demon realm, Xin Yi's power can handle it. Externally, our power is sufficient, and we will not be disturbed." After receiving Yu Xin Yi's assistance, the demon lord felt more confident.
"Hmm." Mo Yun nodded, glanced at Yu Xinyi, and praised, "I didn't expect Your Highness to be so sensible."
"You flatter me, Your Excellency," Yu Xinyi said modestly.
"Alright, Lord, stop praising him. This kid kept it from me, and it's been so hard for me to keep it from him." The Demon Lord seemed to be dissatisfied with Yu Xinyi, but the smile on his face couldn't hide his smugness.
"Let's discuss the matter of the demon realm first." The demon lord changed the subject, as he was more worried about the future of the demon realm.
"Your Highness is so capable, I believe Yu Jinshuo should have received the news by now. It won't be long before he shows up on his own," Mo Yun said confidently, without any urgency.
“Of course, unless he was really eliminated by someone, there’s nothing we can do.” Mo Yun said this without considering anything else.
He glanced at the Demon Lord and asked, "Demon Lord, do you think Yu Jinshuo was killed, or did he disappear automatically in collusion with someone?"
Upon hearing the Demon God's question, the Demon Lord's expression darkened slightly, and he said as if in great difficulty, "I would rather believe that Yu Jinshuo was murdered."
After a pause, the Demon Lord seemed extremely reluctant to say, "If Yu Jinshuo really joins forces with the outside world, then I'm afraid..."
With a sigh, the Demon Lord shook his head helplessly: "I really don't want to see him defect to the enemy. He is, after all, a person from the demon realm. How can he do that?"
"My Lord, let's have dinner first." The Demon Lord looked up and said, "Things were too rushed, and I imagine Miss Liu must be hungry by now."
Mo Yun himself was fine, but Liu Lanyan's stomach was his main concern.
“Okay.” Mo Yun nodded happily. The matter in the demon realm had not yet occurred, so he was not in a hurry. The most important thing at the moment was to make sure Liu Lanyan’s meal time was not missed.
The group moved to a side hall, where the Demon Lord instructed the servants to bring out the food. Actually, it was a bit early to have dinner at this time, but Mo Yun didn't think it was early at all.
After the food was served, Mo Yun conscientiously put all the food that Liu Lanyan liked into her bowl, saving her the trouble of preparing it herself.
The Demon Lord pretended not to see or speak, and the four of them began to eat in silence.
After dinner, tea and snacks were served, and we talked about things in the demon realm while drinking tea.
Yu Xinyi then explained in detail his sphere of influence and whether those people could be trusted to be used.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside. The demon lord frowned as he vaguely heard something: "Who is making a scene outside the palace?"
A servant rushed in, bowed, and announced, "His Highness requests an audience with the Demon Lord."
The Demon Lord was slightly taken aback, then said, "Send it."
After the waiter left, the Demon Lord turned to the Demon God and said, "The news travels too fast."
Mo Yun chuckled lightly: "It's very likely that he has too many people in the demon realm."
The Demon Lord paused for a moment, then nodded: "What Your Excellency says is true."
Yu Xinyi had only just revealed his power, less than two hours later, Yu Jinshuo appeared. Was this a coincidence?
The more this is the case, the more cautious he needs to be.
"My lord." Yu Jinshuo bowed as he entered, as if nothing had happened.
"Yu Jinshuo, where have you been all these days?" The Demon Lord asked directly without saying anything else.
Yu Jinshuo smiled and looked at the Demon Lord: "Does Your Majesty not know where I went?"
"How would I know where you went?" The Demon Lord frowned, asking Yu Jinshuo with a puzzled look.
"You know what you've done." Yu Jinshuo knew that nothing he said would make a difference.
Does he know that the demon lord is going to kill him?
evidence!
Without evidence, it's all just empty talk, and no one will believe it.
Moreover, everyone in the demon realm knows that the demon lord used to indulge him.
No matter how hard he tried, he never thought the Demon Lord would lay a hand on him. It was only after he learned the news from Yingmei that he suddenly realized how terrifying the Demon Lord was and how sinister his scheming was.
"Yu Jinshuo, you can speak your mind clearly." The Demon Lord was not afraid of Yu Jinshuo, and now that he had Yu Xinyi's support, what did he have to worry about?
“My lord, I think there’s no need for me to explain anything further. Someone has more right to speak than I do.” Yu Jinshuo smiled and stood to the side, a smile that made the Demon Lord’s heart skip a beat.
Yu Jinshuo shouldn't be reacting like this. He seems to be very confident. What's going on?
As the Demon Lord muttered to himself, he saw a flash of spatial fire beside Yu Jinshuo, and a graceful figure appeared there.
The familiar figure caused the Demon Lord's eyes to widen in shock. It was...it was...
Yu Xinyi looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared with a strange expression. Her eyebrows and eyes were so familiar. His heart was pounding. The familiarity and strangeness made his heart tremble violently.
After the woman appeared, she didn't look at anyone else, but stared at Yu Xinyi in one glance.
Her beautiful eyes quickly filled with tears, her red lips parted slightly, and she softly called out, "Xinyi..."
That deep, intense longing made Yu Xinyi's body tremble, as if some emotion had been stirred up and was churning violently within her.
"It's me, Xinyi, it's me, it's me!" Yu Lijing excitedly stretched out her arms, wanting to go forward and hug her child.
The tiny, soft child in her memory had grown up into a man taller than her.
She wanted to go forward, but was also a little hesitant.
Yu Xinyi's lips moved slightly, and she slowly shuffled forward a little. Then she glanced at the Demon Lord beside her and saw the Demon Lord nodding affirmatively with tears in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Xinyi pounced on him.
“Mother.” Yu Xinyi hugged Yu Lijing tightly. This mother, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, was someone he had thought about for a long time. The person in his memory was blurry, but she had finally appeared here in front of him.
"Xinyi, Xinyi..." Yu Lijing called out excitedly, holding the person in her arms. He was strong and capable, a man who could hold up the sky.
Yu Lijing felt both relieved and sad. She had missed out on so much. She hugged Yu Xinyi tightly and burst into tears.
The Demon Lord watched from the side, turning his face away several times to secretly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
Then, she slowly walked over and gently patted Yu Xinyi's shoulder: "Let your mother sit down first, don't stand and talk."
