Exposed on the Spot, Shocking the Demons

Chen Ning then spoke.

The atmosphere in the entire palace instantly froze.

The Monkey King stared wide-eyed in surprise, still not understanding what his Fox Demon Race demon clan meant by those words.

But the Green Snake King was quick-witted and immediately understood Chen Ning's meaning.

The young demon king's eyes flickered, then he asked in confusion, "Have you misunderstood me? Why would I want the Fox Demon Clan to perish?"

The old fox demon also looked at Chen Ning.

A complex look appeared in his eyes.

In fact, as the eldest of the Fox Clan, he would naturally have some guesses given his wisdom.

However, he refused to believe it.

This moment.

Why not listen to what our benefactor has to say?

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Chen Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty, stop pretending to be a good person. Now that I've exposed you, you should show your anger and embarrassment."

"Where have I misunderstood you, Your Excellency? Please enlighten me; I am all ears."

The young demon king maintained his calm tone.

However, his expression changed slightly.

"Okay, where should we begin? How about we start with last night..."

"Last night?"

The demons were taken aback.

Then Chen Ning slowly spoke:

"Originally, I only regarded the Fox Demon Clan as an ordinary branch of the Nine Li Demon Race. But last night, the Fox King clearly knew that the Demon Battle Saint Sect would retaliate and had been guarding the outpost in advance, yet he didn't call for reinforcements. Judging from the speed at which the Green Snake King and the Monkey King arrived, he definitely had enough time to call for help, but he just stood there guarding the outpost. What does that mean?"

"This shows that the Fox King was gambling, betting that the Demon Battle Saint Sect wouldn't target the Fox Demon Clan. Unfortunately, the Demon Battle Saint Sect still tracked them down and wanted to exterminate the Fox Demon Clan. This is the outcome of the gamble. But what if the gamble had been won? If the Demon Battle Saint Sect hadn't come, the Fox King could have protected some things without revealing his identity."

"The fact that the Fox King would rather take such a risk than seek help shows that he is very afraid of exposing the secrets of the Fox Demon Clan and attracting attention. As for what the secret is, I hadn't figured it out until today, when I saw you, Demon King, putting on such a hypocritical show, that I can finally be sure that A Yao's identity is probably that of some royal bloodline."

Upon hearing this...

The demons all gasped in shock.

Keen observation.

The guesses and reasoning are meticulous and logical.

And.

He was right about everything.

The demons present were all high-ranking members of the Nine Li Demon Race Clan.

They all knew A Yao's true identity.

The old fox demon's eyes also revealed shock.

My benefactor has excellent judgment.

The old fox demon was not of royal blood, and A Yao was not his biological granddaughter. A Yao's parents were the demons who possessed royal blood.

The old fox demon was protecting the future hope of the Nine Li Demon Race.

So they quietly adopted A Yao.

He did not reveal his identity to her. The Demon King naturally knew about A Yao's identity, but apart from him, only the Green Snake King and the Monkey King, his two sworn brothers, knew.

Later.

In order to avoid attracting attention.

The old fox demon gradually severed his ties with the Green Snake King and the Monkey King.

They also did not have any powerful members of the Nine Li Demon Race secretly protect them.

Only in this way can we calmly wait for A Yao to grow up.

After all, she possesses the purest royal bloodline, far purer than that of the current Demon King.

They don't even need to cultivate; once they reach a certain level, they will possess the cultivation of Martial Venerable.

The current Demon King is only temporarily in charge.

When A Yao grows up to a certain age.

The Nine Li Demon Race will then welcome a new Demon King.

"Your Excellency, you've said so much, and let's assume you're right for now. But what makes you think I'm acting? This is a huge crisis for the entire Nine Li Demon Race. Do you think a royal bloodline is more important, or the entire Nine Li Demon Race?"

The young demon king was surprised that the other party could guess so accurately.

But he remained calm and said, "Besides, I have not abandoned the royal bloodline. I just told the Fox King that as long as the Fox Demon Clan sacrifices themselves for righteousness, I will naturally take care of that girl, A Yao. The Demon Battle Saint Sect won't be so picky. She's just a little girl; I can protect her."

That sounds very high-sounding.

The Monkey King didn't find anything wrong with what he heard.

However, Chen Ning laughed and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes acting too convincingly just comes across as exaggerated. You are so wise and so helpless, so why did you insist on sending the Fox Demon Clan to their deaths without even considering my proposed new solution?"

Seeing that the demons seemed somewhat confused, Chen Ning said, "Let me put it another way. In Your Majesty's opinion, the only way to resolve this matter is for the Fox Demon Clan to die. That's the only result you want. Only in this way will the royal bloodline of the Fox Demon Race be left unprotected, and you can do whatever you want with them. Even if you lock them up for a few years and drive them crazy, it's all up to you, isn't it?"

If there were some doubts before...

This moment.

Chen Ning's directness caused the Monkey King to instantly become enraged.

If Chen Ning's guess is true...

The Demon King is truly wicked to the core.

In fact, back when the Demon King was putting on an act, Chen Ning had already activated his Lie Detection skill to assist Chen Ning, which further solidified his belief.

"Demon King... Is what my benefactor said true?"

At this time.

The old fox demon stood up, looked at the young demon king, his eyes bloodshot.

The young demon king was startled and hurriedly said, "Fox King, don't believe his one-sided story. It's all just his speculation. I treat that girl A Yao like a sister. How could I bear to hurt her?"

"Heh... This old man should have figured it out long ago, but I just couldn't believe you would actually turn against your own kind for the position of Demon King."

The old fox demon was filled with rage.

With A Yao's bloodline, she will surely become the new Demon King one day.

That would dethrone the young demon king before them from his throne.

But he refused to believe that the Demon King would plot to harm his own kind for the sake of power.

Only now, after his benefactor had spoken these words so clearly, did he finally give up hope completely.

"Fox King, don't be misled by an outsider's slander. He's Human Race, why would he investigate so thoroughly? He's definitely after the royal bloodline. If you believe him, you'll be sending A Yao to her doom."

The young demon king's Yao Qi surged, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he said, "He knows too many of our secrets. Our top priority is to eliminate this Human Race together, otherwise, our Nine Li Demon Race will be in danger of annihilation!"

Upon hearing this Green Snake King and the Monkey King...

They were also caught in a dilemma.

Regardless of the Demon King's intentions, the purpose of this young Human Race is equally unclear.

Why did he insist on investigating the internal affairs of these Demon Race?

Where is the Black Bear King?

The young demon king called out softly.

"Your subordinate is here!"

A majestic figure appeared inside the palace.

The Black Bear King is one of the three Heaven Martial Realm experts of the Nine Li Demon Race.
