The Flame Devils standing in front of the Priest Hall, especially the elders standing in the front, originally intended to get rid of Ye Zhen by the hand of the Great Demon Venerable, but they did not expect that Ye Zhen's cultivation base was already so powerful.
If it weren't for the High Priest, the Great Demon Venerable would have been seriously injured.
"High Priest, we need a Demon King who will wholeheartedly serve the Flame Region. We need a Demon King who will lead us out of this hopeless situation. We don't need a woman from the Xuantian Continent to be our Demon King!" Someone in the crowd called out loudly, his voice filled with grief.
"High Priest, our children cannot continue living here. Let the Demon King take us away."
"Please, High Priest!"
Except for the Great Demon Venerable, everyone else knelt down.
"The reincarnation of the Demon King is not something that you or I can choose. It is the will of the heavens. The reincarnations of the Demon Kings in the past all have their reasons for existing. If the heavens choose to pass the inheritance to someone, they will definitely be able to follow the will of the heavens and bring about changes to our Yan Region," said the Supreme Lord calmly as he looked at everyone.
"If this is heaven's will, why did it choose two demon kings?" Great Demon Venerable asked. "High Priest, you know very well that Ye Jingshu is the reincarnation of Killer Ying."
"She is the reincarnation of Sakura Killer, not the reincarnation of the Demon King." Only recently did he understand why there were only two Flame Devil Kings in this generation. "The heavens didn't choose Ying Sha to become the Devil King, so they passed the Devil Core to Ye Zhen. The Devil King is chosen by the heavens, not you guys."
The great demon stared straight at the top. "Do you think Ye Zhen can really bring benefits to our region?"
"What benefits?" The Supreme asked coldly, "Great Demon Sovereign, what have you done for the Demon King? Why do you think that the Demon King will give you benefits?"
"Isn't the existence of the Demon King to lead us to a better life?" Great Demon Venerable asked.
The Supreme smiled gently. "When you see the Demon King as your faith, you will naturally believe that Ye Zhen can bring about change."
"Then … what about Ye Jingshu? High Priestess, she's also a demon king. "Someone asked.
"There will only be one Demon King." Just as the others were about to speak, he continued, "That's all for today. All of you should go back."
The great demon took a few steps forward. "You protect Ye Zhen as the Devil King, but don't forget that the Devil King is not to be protected, but to protect our entire Yan Region. You think Ye Jingshu is not qualified to be the Devil King, but I think she will be more powerful than the previous Devil King."
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it. "The Supreme smiled faintly.
"High Priest, I'll take my leave." The Great Demon Venerable waved his sleeves and left.
The Supreme nodded slightly. "I won't be seeing you out."
Before long, Priest Hall recovered its former peace and quiet.
"High Priest, we couldn't stop the Great Demon Sovereign." The two attendants of the Priest Hall said guiltily.
"You won't be able to stop him." The Supreme Lord waved his hand. He was careless and fell for the trick.
"Young Master Mingxi is injured," the attendant said.
The Supreme Lord's eyes darkened. "I understand."
He passed through the main hall and slowly made his way to the back courtyard.
Ye Zhen and Mingxi didn't return to their rooms. They were in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"I heard Mingxi is injured?" The Supreme Lord walked over and his gaze fell on Mingxi.
Ming Xi glanced at him indifferently.
Ye Zhen stood up. "Did those people leave?"
"I've frightened you." The Supreme Lord said guiltily.
"We aren't that easily frightened, but …" Ye Zhen frowned slightly. "It's not good for you to keep me in the Demon Palace."
"Yao Yao, the Demon King is not the Emperor of the Xuantian Continent, nor is he the Emperor of the Human Continent. He needs the support of others in order to sit on the Demon King's throne. The descent of the Demon King is decided by the will of the heavens, and no one can control who the Demon Core will fall into. Although Ye Jingshu has the memories of Sakura Slayer, she does not have the inheritance, so she cannot obtain the approval of the previous Demon Kings. So why did the Demon Core fall into your hands in this life? This is a predestined fate. Whether you resist or not, you will never be able to let go of the Flame Domain."
The Supreme Lord said in a low voice. He always believed that Ye Zhen would become a leader different from the previous Devil Kings.
"But I don't know what I need to do. I do sympathize with your living environment, but what can I do?" Ye Zhen shook her head gently. Ever since she saw how Yan Mo was forced here and how they were treated by humans, she really sympathized with them. She hoped that they could find a place to live, but what could she do?
"Then don't think about it. When the time comes, there will naturally be a way." The Supreme Lord said as long as she could stay.
Ye Zhen looked at him seriously. "Supreme, I won't stay here for too long. As long as I find a way, I will leave. I must return to the human world."
The Supreme Lord said in a low voice, "I said, if you want to leave, I won't stop you."
"Thank you." Ye Zhen glanced at him and avoided his gaze.
"Is Mingxi's injury serious?" The Supreme Lord asked.
"Don't worry, it's just a small injury." Ye Zhen said, "This child is naughty and always thinks he's invincible. It's good to let him suffer a little."
She didn't want Mingxi to think that just because he practiced the Immortal Invincible Technique, he could become immortal. In this Xuantian Continent, there is always someone stronger than you. One day, you will meet someone stronger than you. A small injury now is better than a serious injury in the future.
"The sick child has been brought to the Priest Hall. Do you want to see him?"
"I'll go with you." Ye Zhen immediately said. She turned around and warned Fire Phoenix and Mingxi, "You stay here. Don't run around or go anywhere else. If you cause trouble again, I will beat you up myself."
Mingxi said, "Mother, I'll go with you."
Ye Zhen looked at the Supreme Lord, who nodded gently. Only then did she agree to Mingxi's request.
The children were placed in the northwest wing of the Priest Hall. This time, there were ten people who entered the palace. Ye Zhen saw them on the street that day, including the child she saved.
"Fifty years ago, most of the children born to Flame Demons were like this. Nowadays, there are very few newborns." The Supreme Lord explained to Ye Zhen as they walked.
Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are there any taboos when you Flame Demons marry? For example … don't you marry people of the same surname? "
"No." The Supreme Lord frowned slightly. "Ever since the humans … killed so many Flame Demon girls, we have fewer girls. In the beginning, many brothers married with the same wife, and some even had siblings …"
"Aren't you guys messing up ethics?" Ye Zhen scolded.
The Supreme Lord smiled bitterly. "Yao Yao, Flame Demons without cultivation are no different from demonic beasts."
