Princess Ying Jun was massaging the Devil King's head, while Advisor Xi Ting was kneeling below.
"Your Majesty, the Rakshasa King wants you to go over for a meeting to discuss the next step of the Demon Race Alliance?" Advisor Xi Ting said.
The Devil King turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear anything.
Advisor Xi Ting was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, we have to make a decision. Lan Ling will soon know that the Rakshasa Race has fallen. By then, he will lose his mind and even destroy the remaining six demon flags. "
The Devil King remained silent and didn't reply.
Advisor Xi Ting bowed and didn't speak again.
…
The news from Rakshasa King City was only a few hours later than the Northern Palace.
When Elder Mokan heard the news, his body trembled, as if he had aged ten years.
After a long while, he said, "Is this the will of the heavens? Does the heavens really want to destroy us? "
On the contrary, the Young Devil King was very calm.
Previously, when Lan Ling destroyed the Blue Demon King and the Blood Demon King and framed them for colluding with the Rakshasa King, it was already the worst news for him. At that time, he vomited blood.
When he heard that the Rakshasa Race had been destroyed, not only did he not despair, but a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, are you giving up just like that?" the Nether Prince said.
Elder Mokan said, "Nether, how much did we pay? This was a rare opportunity, but we still didn't depose the crown prince. We won't have this chance again. This is the most terrifying failure. "
The Nether Prince said, "That's right. This seems to be a huge failure, but it is far from despair. In fact, the worst time was when Lan Ling destroyed the Blue Demon King and the Blood Demon King. At that time, I was really disheartened. But now … Princess Tigné has destroyed the Rakshasa Race. This is good news for us! "
He downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and said, "My respected uncle, the way we fight has already changed. Pull yourself together and continue to fight the crown prince and Lan Ling. "
Elder Mokan said, "This time, we didn't depose the crown prince, and you didn't ascend the throne. Who will dare to stand with us in the future?"
The Netherworld Prince said, "Uncle, I will make a trip to the northern defensive line. Withdraw the defensive line and let the Blood Wolf King lead the army into Luocha City. It would be best if they could kill their way into the Crown Prince's residence. "
Elder Mokan was startled, "Are you sure?"
"Yes …" the Netherworld Prince said, "Also, release all the servants, warriors, and guards of the Crown Prince's Residence."
Elder Mokan exclaimed, "Why?"
The Netherworld Prince said, "Uncle, from today onwards, we have to pretend to be grandchildren. Let Lan Ling and the Crown Prince stand on the stage until they die. "
…
On that day, the Crown Prince's Shadow Warriors, as well as all the warriors, guards, and servants of the Crown Prince's Residence, were released.
Immediately afterward, Luocha City's defensive line opened up, allowing the Blood Wolf King to lead the expeditionary army into the capital.
The expeditionary army had been at the gates of the city for several days. The Blood Wolf King had declared that as long as something happened to the crown prince, he would lead the army to attack Devil King City and start a massacre.
The Netherworld Prince personally paid a visit to the Blood Wolf King.
"Your Excellency Blood Wolf King, we have never been enemies," the Netherworld Prince said elegantly.
The Blood Wolf King said, "Please forgive me for not being good with words, but we are indeed enemies."
The Netherworld Prince said, "I will order the army to open up a gap and open the gates of Luocha City. Please allow your army to enter Devil King City and even the Crown Prince's Residence."
The Blood Wolf King looked at the Netherworld Prince for a long time before saying, "The Earthly Demon Tribe has already fallen, right?"
The Netherworld Prince's gaze turned cold.
This huge and barbaric Blood Wolf King in front of him was far more intelligent than he had imagined.
Following that, the Blood Wolf King howled at the sky.
Immediately, all the werewolf warriors, giant wolf mounts, and the Demon Race army pricked up their ears to listen to the Blood Wolf King's orders.
"All expeditionary army members, retreat 25 kilometers," the Blood Wolf King ordered.
Immediately, the Netherworld Prince's gaze trembled.
This Blood Wolf King was really surprising!
…
A few hours later, in the middle of the night, the Netherworld Prince entered the Luocha Palace at the northern defensive line.
He immediately knelt in front of the Demon King.
The Demon King raised his eyes and said, "What are you doing here, Netherworld? Are you here to laugh at me too? "
This Demon King was really unreasonable. When he was in a sorry state, he felt that everyone was mocking him. Even the Netherworld Prince was no exception.
Immediately, the Netherworld Prince kowtowed with all his might until his head bled.
The Demon King didn't ask him to stop. He kept kowtowing until his head was a bloody mess.
The Demon King's gaze softened at the Netherworld Prince's actions. He said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
The Netherworld Prince said, "Father, please issue a decree to allow the Crown Prince and Royal Brother to return to the throne and never give up again."
The Demon King's expression turned cold. He said, "Netherworld, are you afraid? Are you giving up just like that? "
"No, Father," the Netherworld Prince said. "I won't give up. For the sake of Father's dignity, I will fight the Crown Prince and Lan Ling to the end."
The Demon King said, "Continue."
The Netherworld Prince said, "But now, we have to retract our fists. Next, I will return all authority to the Crown Prince and go to the Crown Prince's residence to kneel and admit my mistakes. I will send Meng Tuoluo back. Not only that, I will personally go to the Flame Demon City to commend his contributions. "
The Demon King said, "What contributions?"
The Netherworld Prince said, "He discovered that the Blood Demon Lord, the Blue Demon Lord, the Spiritual Demon Lord, the Red Demon Lord, and the Calamity Demon Lord had colluded with the Heaven Demon King. He committed a crime and punished them severely."
The Demon King's face twitched. He was about to turn hostile immediately. This was because the Netherworld Prince had stabbed him in the heart.
The Netherworld Prince said, "Next, Elder Mokan and I will pretend to be our grandsons. We will push Lan Ling and the Crown Prince to the forefront and use our resources to create public opinion. We will announce that the Crown Prince and Lan Ling are the Demon Alliance's saviors. Previously, no one could tell that the Heaven Demon King wanted to attack the Earth Demon Tribe. They all thought that his target was the Demon Tribe. Everyone was wrong. Only the Crown Prince and Royal Brother were right. This is great wisdom. Therefore, the responsibility of defending against the Demon Empire will fall on the Crown Prince and Lan Ling. They are the mainstays of the Demon Tribe. "
The Demon King said, "Kill by flattery? Kill with a borrowed knife? "
"Yes!" the Netherworld Prince said.
The Demon King closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
If he could, he wouldn't even agree to this. This was because it seemed like a shameful surrender and compromise. He would really lose all his face.
However, he really had no other choice.
After a long time, the Demon King said, "If that's the case, let's compromise and issue the decree! The Crown Prince will return to his position. The imprisonment will be lifted and all his power will be restored. Everyone in the Crown Prince's residence will be released! The power of the Demon Tribe's defense will be returned to the Crown Prince. Announce to the world that the Crown Prince is brilliant and has discovered the Heaven Demon King's conspiracy. From now on, the Crown Prince is the undisputed successor to the Demon Tribe's throne. This will never change and will never be abandoned. "
The Netherworld Prince kowtowed and said, "Father is brilliant!"
…
The next morning, Military Advisor Xi Ting returned to Demon Tribe City with the Demon King's decree.
Then, he read out the Demon King's decree in front of everyone.
This decree was very long, and it was completely different from previous decrees. The words used this time were very elegant, almost as good as the human kingdom's imperial decrees.
In this imperial decree, the Demon King praised the Crown Prince. He described him as the representative of wisdom, courage, decisiveness, benevolence, and filial piety.
In the decree, the Young Demon King didn't seem like a human, but more like a god.
In the decree, the Demon King emphasized that the entire Demon Alliance had made a strategic mistake. They all thought that the Heaven Demon King would attack the Demon Tribe first. Only the Crown Prince was right. The truth was in the hands of a few people.
In the end, the Demon King released the Crown Prince from confinement and restored all his power. He returned all the military power of the Demon Tribe's defense line to him. Not only that, the Demon King announced that he was seriously ill, so he couldn't manage the government. For a long time, the Crown Prince would be in charge of the Demon Tribe's military and political power.
This really seemed like the Demon King was handing over power to the Crown Prince in advance. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
In the end, the Demon King announced that the Crown Prince was the undisputed successor to the throne of the Demon Tribe. This would never change. In the future, anyone who dared to say that the Crown Prince was deposed would be killed without mercy!
The decree was written in a few thousand words. After the military advisor Xi Ting finished reading it, countless onlookers cheered in unison.
It seemed like the Crown Prince was really popular.
"Long live the Demon King!"
"Long live the Crown Prince!"
Not long after, the Prince's Residence in the Demon King City, which had been dead silent for a long time, came to life.
Countless people even rushed to the streets to cheer for the Young Demon King. They shouted that the Demon King was wise, that the Demon King was wise.
Moreover, countless crystals and fireworks were released as if they didn't cost anything.
After the decree was read, the five Venerables immediately left the Crown Prince's Residence and released the Crown Prince.
The guards, martial artists, servants, and maids of the Crown Prince's Residence that were captured earlier returned to the Crown Prince's Residence happily.
Four hours later, the Netherworld Prince left Demon King City with Elder Mokan and all his trusted subordinates. They headed to the northern defense line and returned the entire Demon King City to the Young Demon King.
This also meant that the entire Demon Tribe's territory was divided.
To the north of Demon King City was the Demon King's territory.
To the south of Demon King City was the Crown Prince's and Lan Ling's territory.
The Netherworld Prince personally brought the decree to the Flame Demon City to commend Lan Ling's great contribution. He called him the mainstay of the Demon Tribe's territory. Fortunately, he discovered that the Blood Demon Lord, Blue Demon Lord, Spirit Demon Lord, Calamity Demon Lord, Red Demon Lord, and the others had colluded with the Heaven Demon King. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Elder Mokan's judgment was poor. His son-in-law, Blue Demon Lord, had colluded with the Heaven Demon King and was involved in a scandal. Therefore, the Demon King decreed that Elder Mokan was stripped of his status as an elder of the Demon Tribe, leaving only him as a member of the Demon Tribe's royal elder council.
In order to commend Lan Ling's great contribution, the Demon King decreed that Lan Ling would be promoted to a member of the Demon Tribe's elder council.
At this point, the first phase of the battle between the Crown Prince and the Netherworld Prince had come to an end. The Crown Prince and Lan Ling had won.
