"What? There's still one more person?"

"Besides Xi Huang and Wa Huang, who else is qualified to be the Demon Emperor?"

"Could it be the two Moon Star maidens?"

"Besides them, I'm afraid there's no one else, right?"

"Impossible. Although the Moon Star maidens are very powerful, they seem to be quite interested in Lord Di Jun. Perhaps they will appear in another identity," someone said.

The fact that Xihe and Changxi had feelings for Di Jun was not a secret among the Demon Race.

The murmuring below also made both of them blush a little.

[Brother Jun, what are you doing?]

[Still appointing a Demon Emperor? Who are you appointing?]

[Among those present, besides Nuwa and Fu Xi, and your brothers, who else is qualified to be the Demon Emperor?]

Li Mo complained inwardly, already eager to leave.

Di Jun was also full of frustration.

"You are such a powerful being, yet you have no ambition at all. If you just made a little effort, wouldn't this position of Demon Emperor be yours?"

"Who exactly are we appointing as the Demon Emperor? Senior Brother, do you know?" the little fox Bai Qianqian asked Li Mo, looking up.

He lightly flicked the tip of Bai Qianqian's nose, cleared his throat, and said, "Perhaps we're appointing your father as the Demon Emperor? He's already a powerhouse in the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and coupled with your Qingqiu Fox Clan's strength, appointing Patriarch Bai Jiu as the Demon Emperor isn't strange at all."

His voice was not quiet.

Bai Jiu felt a little smug after hearing this.

He thought to himself that Li Mo certainly had a good eye.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, making his handsome face even more striking.

However, Bai Ze, who knew Li Mo better, pouted.

You think this is a compliment?

No, this is just setting you up for trouble.

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, the leaders of other tribes and the great figures of the Demon Race started to clamor.

"Bah! Bai Jiu wants to be the Demon Emperor? Does he deserve it?"

"Our Savage Rhinoceros Clan is also very powerful. Our patriarch's strength is about to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Right now, I can crush Bai Jiu with one hand. If Bai Jiu becomes the Demon Emperor, then I will also become the Demon Emperor."

Jiu Ying laughed heartily, his nine heads writhing like snakes as he said, "Among those present, there are indeed many tribes comparable to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and many whose strength is comparable to Patriarch Bai Jiu. Who does he think he is? It's a joke if he can become the Demon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the astrologer Shang Yang couldn't help but nod and say, "Lord Jiu Ying speaks the absolute truth."

Hearing this, Bai Jiu's face turned ashen. His strength was indeed inferior to many of the demon powerhouses present.

He felt he had directly fallen into a trap set by Li Mo. He spoke, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. Not bad, not bad. However, without Golden Immortal strength, it's impossible for Qianqian to be your Dao companion."

"Of course, if this Demon Emperor is you, then I won't say anything more."

Bai Ze heard this and couldn't help but frown. He spoke to comfort Li Mo, "Disciple, your aptitude is excellent, there's no need to be self-conscious. Just cultivate diligently. Golden Immortal is only a matter of time."

"Silence!"

The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi stood up and pressed his large hand downwards, speaking in a deep voice.

As soon as he spoke, the noisy voices quickly subsided.

"The third Demon Emperor to be announced today... is..."

As the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi spoke, his gaze swept over the demons below.

One by one, the leaders, patriarchs, and great powers of the Demon Race held their breath, their eyes wide open, waiting for Tai Yi to utter the name.

This scene piqued Li Mo's curiosity.

[Second Brother, hurry up and say it!]

[You're dawdling so much, I think you could be a host on a talent show.]

Li Mo complained inwardly.

Then, the next moment.

The Eastern Emperor's voice echoed throughout the entire Sun Star.

"The third Demon Emperor to be announced today, and also the fifth Demon Emperor of our Demon Heavenly Court, is Li Mo!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Li Mo felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he was completely stunned.

Bai Ze, Bai Jiu, Bai Qianqian, Shang Yang, Jiu Ying, and the other demons he knew cast incredulous glances at him.

Even Li Mo himself found it hard to believe.

"Who is Li Mo?"

"I've never heard of him?"

"Me neither. Could it be some hidden great power the two Demon Emperors met while traveling the Great Desolation this time?"

"I think I've heard of him. Bai Ze's disciple is named Li Mo, but he's only at the mid-stage Mystic Immortal cultivation."

"It couldn't be him."

The members of the Demon Race spoke among themselves.

"No way? No way? It's Li Mo?" Bai Jiu looked at Li Mo, his brow furrowed so tightly it seemed to be twisted.

Was there a second Li Mo among the Demon Race?

It shouldn't be the Li Mo he knew. The other members of the Demon Race were right; he was only at the mid-stage Mystic Immortal, so it couldn't be him.

Bai Ze's mouth twitched as well, finding it hard to believe.

However, this decision was actually quite possible.

After all, last time, his disciple had somehow managed to get the two Demon Emperors to become sworn brothers with him.

This time, getting him a position as Demon Emperor wasn't impossible.

But the possibility was still incredibly slim.

[Brother Jun, Second Brother! The Demon Emperor you're talking about can't be me, right?]

[I don't want to be the Demon Emperor! It definitely can't be me!]

[It absolutely cannot be me! I already have Luohu, and I can stay away from the center of all conflict, living freely in the Great Desolation.]

[If you make me the Demon Emperor, you're dragging me into a fiery pit.]

However, Li Mo only saw Di Jun's lips curve into a smile, as if he had succeeded in something.

"Li Mo, aren't you coming up?"

As soon as these words were spoken!

A buzzing sound echoed in the minds of all the Demon Race members, making the matter seem as fantastical as a fairy tale.

"It really is Li Mo!"

"A mid-stage Mystic Immortal as Demon Emperor? How is that possible? What right does he have?"

"Exactly, he has no right at all!"

Bai Ze felt his brain struggling to keep up.

What was going on? His disciple was going to be the Demon Emperor?

Why him? It should have been me, no matter what?

Disciple, teach your master, how exactly did you trick the two Demon Emperors into agreeing to this?

Last time you fooled them into becoming sworn brothers, and this time you're fooling them into making you the Demon Emperor.

Bai Jiu felt as if everything was a dream.

Just now, he had said that if Li Mo became the Demon Emperor, he would let Bai Qianqian be his Dao companion. He hadn't expected this to happen so quickly.

"Eldest Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother, you're going to be the Demon Emperor! Aren't you going to step forward quickly?" Among the entire crowd of the Demon Race, only Bai Qianqian was so excited.

However, the bitterness in Li Mo's heart was something only Li Mo himself knew.

[Brother Jun! I really don't want to be the Demon Emperor!]
