He could live a prosperous and carefree life anywhere.
If it weren't for his sense of responsibility, how could he have willingly been dragged down by the demon realm for a thousand years?
Moreover, the Demon God has already experienced two major upheavals in just a thousand years. If it weren't for the Demon Realm, why would he have to go through all this?
"Do you know what it means to strike unexpectedly?" Yu Lijing didn't feel that the Demon God was backing down at all, and continued to question aggressively, "Our sudden attack now is a surprise attack, catching them off guard!"
"The demon realm was caught off guard!" Mo Yun never expected Yu Lijing to be such a brainless person.
"Let me ask you, which of the two realms, the demon realm or the immortal realm, did the demon realm attack?"
"It doesn't matter which one, as long as we disrupt their cooperation," Yu Lijing said without hesitation.
After Yu Lijing finished speaking, she noticed that everyone in the study was silent and staring at her.
Her delicate brows furrowed, and Yu Lijing felt very uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The Demon Lord wanted to speak, but then felt it was inappropriate for him to say it.
Yu Xinyi took on this "important task": "Mother, why don't you go back and rest first? It's almost time for dinner."
"I've long since lost all interest in food!" Yu Lijing's mind was sometimes confused and sometimes clear, but that didn't mean she was stupid. She immediately understood the meaning behind Yu Xinyi's words, "You want to kick me out?"
Yu Xinyi shut his mouth; that was exactly what he thought.
"What do you mean?" Yu Lijing asked angrily. "Am I wrong? The situation is not good now, so naturally we must seize the initiative..."
"What do you all mean?" Yu Lijing had only said a few words when she noticed that Yu Xinyi and the others looked at her strangely, as if what she said was ridiculous.
"If you have anything to say, then say it!" Yu Lijing couldn't stand being stared at like that, just like when she was out of her mind and other people were staring at her strangely, as if they were stabbing her heart with a knife.
At this moment, the Demon God and the Demon Lord naturally wouldn't say anything. Yu Xinyi sighed softly and slowly said, "No matter which realm we attack, our Demon Realm must go all out. If that happens, what will happen to the Demon Realm if another realm takes advantage of the situation?"
How could his mother not have thought of something so obvious?
"Isn't there this demon god?" Yu Lijing had already come up with a plan. "Isn't he supposed to protect the demon realm? How come he can't even stop other people's attacks?"
Yu Xinyi looked at his mother in disbelief. How could his mother say such a thing?
"To attack either the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, we naturally need the power of the Lord. Without the Lord's power, how could we possibly attack them?" Yu Xinyi really didn't know what his mother was thinking.
"If we can't win, then our attack will be a failure, resulting in heavy losses and depletion of the demon realm's strength."
Can't you see something this obvious?
The most crucial issue for them in the demon realm is to first understand the situation, as the demon god just said.
Those few days were supposed to be for discussion, but every single one ended in an argument.
My mother's domineering nature has always led her to want the demon realm to follow her methods, but the problem is, it's simply not feasible.
The father tried to stop him several times, but in the end, the meeting ended on bad terms.
I was just about to go and discuss this with the Demon God when I didn't expect the Demon God to come first. What I didn't expect was that my mother also came. Isn't this... causing trouble?
"The demon realm is getting more and more pathetic." Yu Lijing reached out and rubbed her throbbing forehead; her head was starting to ache.
At the same time, my heart aches. It has only been a thousand years since I left, so why has the demon realm fallen to such a state?
Even the slightest attack makes them so hesitant and fearful, what exactly are they trying to do?
"Cowardly?" Yu Lijing's words were too much for the Demon Lord to bear. "Whether we are cowardly or not, the Demon Realm has lived in peace and prosperity for so many years without being bullied in any way."
"Hmph." Yu Lijing didn't agree with the Demon Lord's words at all. "That was when there was no trouble. Now that there are problems, the Demon Realm knows how to back down and be passive, just waiting to be beaten."
"Even if I get beaten, it's none of your business to say that!" The Demon Lord's anger, which he had been holding back for several days, finally erupted. "Yu Lijin, you are no longer the Demon Lord. I'm only letting you speak here to give you face. If you're unhappy with it, you don't have to come back in the future!"
"Shut up!" How could Yu Lijing be afraid of the Demon Lord? She immediately retorted loudly, "What if you destroy the Demon Realm? Can you bear that responsibility?"
"Whether the demon realm is destroyed or not is none of your business. The demon realm has been handed over to me, and at least it has safely weathered the chaos of the three realms and enjoyed peace for at least a thousand years."
The Demon Lord said coldly, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at Yu Lijing. He was expressionless, but who knew the pain in his heart?
"Peace? It's not your doing. If it weren't for that demon god protecting us, the demon realm would have been finished long ago." Yu Lijin had been hearing about the demon god and the lord lately, but the demon lord had nothing to do with her.
"Why don't you go and ask around? Who in the demon realm still knows there's a demon lord?" Yu Lijing found this ironic.
She handed over the position of Demon Lord back then, but she never expected things to turn out like this.
The Demon Lord took a deep breath and looked at Yu Xinyi: "Xinyi, send your mother back."
Yu Xinyi immediately nodded, stood up, and went to stand in front of Yu Lijing: "Mother, you should go back first."
"You're kicking me out?" Yu Lijing stared at Yu Xinyi in disbelief. This was her son, and he was actually helping outsiders bully her?
Yu Xinyi's eye twitched slightly, but she didn't change her mind: "Mother, it's time for dinner. Let's go back and eat."
Yu Lijing didn't say anything, she just stared at Yu Xinyi, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
However, she could see nothing in Yu Xinyi's eyes; she only felt a deep sense of disappointment. She was so disappointed.
"Fine, fine, now that you two are of one mind, I'm superfluous." Yu Lijing was an extremely proud person and wouldn't stay here to be insulted. She got up and left quickly.
The door was slammed shut with a loud bang, causing the Demon Lord's already aching heart to ache even more.
She remained the same, completely disregarding the feelings of others, even her husband.
The Demon Lord smiled bitterly to herself, wondering if he could be considered her husband.
"We must find out about the Immortal Realm from Liu Yechang." Mo Yun didn't have time to care about Yu Lijing's feelings. What time was it now?
Do you still have those messy thoughts?
"Since the Immortal Realm placed Liu Yechang in the Demon Realm, they must have their reasons. In any case, we must find out."
We can't send people to the celestial or demonic realms to gather information now, so we should at least make good use of the people we have.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already sent people to search around Liu Yechang. They will report back immediately if there is any situation." The Demon Lord was naturally prepared and hurriedly told the Demon God what he had done.
"Very good." Mo Yun nodded, hesitated slightly, and then said, "Don't let Yu Lijing's matter affect the demon realm."
It's obvious to everyone that Yu Lijing has mental issues and is too domineering; if she isn't properly restrained, things will go wrong.
The Demon Lord glanced at Yu Xinyi and said confidently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle this matter."
Mo Yun's final instruction was, "Don't cause any unnecessary trouble." His departure left the father and son, their feelings complex, staring at each other in bewilderment.
Chapter 140 Full Cooperation
After leaving, Mo Yun naturally went to have dinner and talk with Liu Lanyan.
His responsibility is to protect the demon realm, but he does not participate in other specific matters within the demon realm.
How exactly things are done, and how information is gathered, is naturally the responsibility of the Demon Lord. Moreover, he has already made it clear that he will leave the Demon Realm after this matter is over.
The important thing is to help the Demon Lord and the others get used to life without him as soon as possible.
Mo Yun was not worried at all; it was others who were suffering, such as Yu Lijing, who was so angry she was about to explode.
Yu Lijing hurriedly left the palace and went straight to Yu Jinshuo's mansion. She went straight in, and the guards at the door were about to stop her, but before they could even say a word, Yu Lijing slapped them aside.
Upon receiving the news that someone had stormed into the Prince's mansion, the warning officer rushed out. Who dared to disregard him?
His anger vanished the moment he saw Yu Lijin, and he laughed: "Sister, you came all this way, why didn't you tell me first?"
"What? Do I need to announce my arrival here?" Yu Lijing was already quite angry with the Demon God, so she naturally didn't speak to Yu Jinshuo in a friendly manner.
"Of course not." Yu Jinshuo quickly led Yu Lijing to the study. "If my sister informs me, I will send someone to pick you up."
Yu Lijing gave a cold snort, said nothing, and followed Yu Jinshuo inside.
After entering the study, Yu Jinshuo cautiously asked, "Who offended my sister? I'll teach them a lesson!"
With a grim face, Yu Lijing gritted her teeth and uttered two words: "Demon God".
"Him?" Yu Jinshuo was slightly startled and asked in disbelief, "How could the Lord have offended my sister?"
"What, are you saying I'm lying?" Upon hearing Yu Jinshuo's words, Yu Lijing's anger burned even brighter.
Yu Jinshuo waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course not." Seeing Yu Lijing's gloomy face, he quickly said, "Aren't we discussing the Three Realms right now? Why are you provoking my sister?"
"Taking the initiative is the best thing for the demon realm. Why do they have to make preparations! What are they preparing for?" Yu Lijing was furious at the mention of this, wishing she could go over and slap the demon god who was going against her to death.
"Prepare for what? Are you waiting for the immortal and demon realms to attack?" Yu Lijing growled angrily. "I really don't know what's wrong with the demon realm these days! They're so timid and cowardly, they have no backbone at all!"
Back when she was the Demon Lord, who in the demon realm was she afraid of?
Their swift and decisive methods are renowned throughout the Three Realms; who would dare to touch their Demon Realm?
Now, she has only been silent for a short time, and the demon realm has become such a pathetic place. It's truly disheartening.
“Sister, things are different now.” Yu Jinshuo didn’t immediately side with Yu Lijing. Hearing this, Yu Lijing frowned and questioned, “What do you mean?”
"Sister, don't be angry, let me explain slowly." Yu Jinshuo said with a kind smile, explaining to Yu Lijin, "The demon realm's strength is not very strong right now, so it would be impossible to launch an attack rashly."
"So you mean you want to play it safe?" Yu Lijing narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully examining her younger brother.
Although Yu Jinshuo was in a difficult position, he still nodded seriously.
Little did he know that as soon as he made his statement, Yu Lijin immediately retorted: "Nonsense!"
Yu Lijing jumped up from her chair and said loudly, "All we need is a team of elite troops to take the life of the Demon Emperor or the Venerable One, and then deal with the other important people. The rest are just a disorganized mess. What great things can they possibly accomplish?"
Yu Jinshuo listened without saying anything. Yu Lijing glanced at him and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Yu Jinshuo smiled and said, "Sister, this is easier said than done. But who can infiltrate both the immortal and demon realms?"
"Am I not good enough?" Yu Lijing tilted her head slightly and asked confidently.
Yu Jinshuo shook his head with a wry smile: "Sis, are you going by yourself?"
“Of course.” Yu Lijin was very confident in her abilities. “Do you think I’ve wasted all this time?”
"Sister, this is absolutely impossible!" Yu Jinshuo exclaimed. "The realms of immortals and demons are so dangerous, how can you go alone?"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yu Lijing completely ignored Yu Jinshuo's advice and said after thinking for a moment, "Don't you have your own men? Get them ready for me."
