After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 1169

The Demon Realm, the Demon Palace.

Demon King Ye Aotian stood before Ye Xun, the scepter in his hand signifying supreme power.

Only under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Looking at the ambition in his eldest son's eyes, he still hesitated in the end.

"Father?"

Seeing that he was about to withdraw his hand, Ye Xun's smile vanished.

Since An Jiuxi entered the Silent Land, Ye Xun also learned that his father had imprisoned Night Owl inside.

He would have felt bad and even questioned Ye Aotian about why he did this.

But just one day later, he realized this was the perfect opportunity for him.

So in the days that followed, he secretly made preparations for today's succession ceremony!

All that's needed is for Ye Aotian to hand over the scepter that symbolizes the Demon King's identity to him.

He is the king of the entire demon realm!

At that time, no matter what he wants, no one can stop him!

But now, Ye Aotian actually hesitated!

"Father?"

He shouted again, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the people below starting to whisper, and he gradually became anxious.

"Father!"

He shouted again, this time with exceptionally loud voice.

The people below who had been discussing this immediately fell silent.

Xi Zhi suddenly stepped out, her gaze coldly fixed on Ye Aotian, who was seated at the head of the table.

"Demon King, since you've already made your plans, please continue. After all, the Little Prince probably won't be able to leave the Silent Land, and the Second Prince..."

Xi Zhi stopped there and didn't reveal what she knew.

It was also because of his own selfish motives.

After all, if these old fogies in the audience knew that Night Owl is still alive, and even doing quite well in the Quiet Place...

I'm afraid they'll have to support Night Owl becoming the new Demon King.

Then, he won't be able to control the person!

Ye Xun is stupid; he can easily coax people into listening to him with just a few words!

Ye Aotian hated nothing more than being threatened.

The moment Xizhi stepped out to speak up for Ye Xun, she made up her mind completely.

"The succession ceremony will naturally continue, but after careful consideration, I truly feel that my son, Ye Xun, is not suitable for the position of Demon King..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xun interrupted him with a shocked expression.

"Father?"

"What do you mean by that? You personally acknowledged my identity in front of them before, so why are you going back on your word now!"

Ye Xun's face was extremely ugly, and he stood up from the ground.

He faced Ye Aotian, who sat on the throne of the Demon King.

He even reached out and grabbed the power that symbolized his status!

His audacious act caused everyone in the audience to gasp in surprise.

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Aotian, watching his reaction.

Ye Aotian's face darkened as expected. Looking at his son's hand gripping the top, he sneered, "Let go."

A flicker of fear crossed Ye Xun's eyes before he nonchalantly raised his head.

"Father, you cannot break your promise. Since you promised your son, you should keep your word!"

These words made Ye Aotian sneer.

He channeled demonic energy in his hand, directly blasting Ye Xun away.

Ye Xun staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

Seeing himself nearly fall off the platform, Ye Xun's ambition no longer held back, and he clenched his fists tightly at his sides.

"Father, you're too old! Even the household register doesn't recognize you as its master, so why continue to hold the position of the demon king!"

This remark drew comments from many people.

Most of those who echoed Ye Xun's words were people he had secretly cultivated.

Ye Aotian's gaze swept over those people, and he stunned them.
