The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

When the Demon King died, the entire Demon Nest mourned.

The funeral procession was completed within half a month. The old master had passed away, and everything in the Demon Nest needed to be rebuilt.

Therefore, the ministers proposed to support the eldest son of the demon clan, Li Si, to ascend the throne.

However, the most promising candidate for the crown prince among the former royal family members was Li Yin, the witch queen's legitimate daughter.

For a while, the conflict between the two parties gave the Demon Queen a headache.

So, he came to ask Ji Xiuzhu for help.

"My Lord, tell me, what should I do? My hands are made of flesh, how can I make a decision?"

Ji Xiuzhu put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes passing over the tired look between the Demon Queen's brows. He said calmly, "The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, but if a knife is hanging over your head, someone has to reach out and grasp it. Your Majesty, you came to me today, isn't it because you want this knife to fall faster and more steadily?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen's fingertips trembled slightly, her nails scraping lightly on the table. "The Immortal Lord has a way of poking at people's hearts. I simply... don't want them to kill each other."

"Since that's the case, let's unite them against a common enemy." Ji Xiuzhu raised his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy transformed into light, condensing in the void into a map of the Ten Thousand Demons' Nest's territory. "When I was free, I once deduced that the Demon Star will be in retrograde motion in three days, and cracks will open at the borders of the Ten Thousand Demons' Nest. Then, turbid air will flow back, and the Ten Thousand Demons' Nest will bear the brunt. Who can avert this disaster..."

"Who is the new king?" The Demon Queen suddenly stood up, and the pearl curtains collided, making a sound like breaking jade.

"No." Ji Xiuzhu shook his head. "Whoever resolves this calamity will temporarily take over the throne of the Demon King. Although the position of crown prince is still vacant, the demons of the world will first remember who saved their lives."

The Demon Queen was silent for a long moment, then suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "The Immortal Lord has a good plan. This way, Si'er and Yin'er will have no choice but to join forces, or their nest will be destroyed, and their clan will be wiped out... But what if, after the disaster is over, they still want to fight? What should I do then?"

Ji Xiuzhu tapped the map lightly with his fingertips, and a wisp of black mist seeped out from the cracks, spreading like ink. He then chuckled and said, "Then it depends on whether the queen is willing to give me another dose of strong medicine."

Three days later, the border rift opened as expected.

Li Yin led the elite of his old subordinates to burn the turbid air with demonic fire; Li Si led the rest of the demon tribe to form a formation, intending to seal the rift with the Requiem.

The brother and sister fought back to back, their golden feathers and silver scales shining in the turbid mist, even making the blood-red demon star pale in comparison.

But just as the crack was about to close, a cold arrow suddenly came from a distance.

The arrow was tempered with the Soul-Destroying Grass and pointed directly at Li Yin's heart.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't think twice and just turned his wrist to shatter the arrow with his demonic power, but he accidentally saw the old royal emblem engraved on the tail of the arrow.

In an instant, bloodshot eyes surged in Li Si's eyes, and his golden pupils reflected the face of the man holding the bow, who was none other than the loyal old minister who had strongly recommended him to ascend the throne.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness." The old minister knelt on the ground, his voice as cold as iron, "The demon race can be without a princess, but it cannot be without a king."

Li Yin chuckled at the words, and a silver light emanated from her fingertips. She froze the old minister and his bow into an ice sculpture. "My dear brother, look, these are the soldiers you brought with you. It seems that your loyal ministers are more poisonous than the foul air."

As he spoke, the crack suddenly closed.

Standing on a sea of ​​blood and corpses, the brother and sister looked at each other seriously for the first time.

Li Si's battle robe was corroded by the foul air and was torn into pieces, and Li Yin's gauze was also splashed with demon blood, but the eyes of the brother and sister were surprisingly bright.

"Do you want to join forces with me?" Li Si stretched out his hand, with burn marks from the arrow still on his palm.

"It's just temporary." Li Yin high-fived him, and tiny fragments of light flashed when the silver scales and golden feathers touched. "My Queen Mother is right. The Ten Thousand Demons' Nest is in ruins... Someone has to clean up the mess first."

Not far away, Ji Xiuzhu and others were hidden in the clouds, which made the Demon Queen's eyes well up with tears. In order to maintain her image, she could only quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Demon Queen, do you regret it?" Ji Xiuzhu asked.

The Demon Queen looked at her children returning side by side and whispered, "I just suddenly realized that the so-called choice is never between them."

"It's between them and me."

After saying this, she took off her phoenix crown, letting her long black hair fall like a waterfall. "From now on, the Monster Nest no longer needs a Demon Queen to rule from behind the scenes. It only needs a king who can protect the Monster Nest."

"Whether it's one or two."

After she finished speaking, there was a hint of determination in the Demon Queen's eyes.
