”Emperor Yun, who do you think is the most likely to impersonate Meng Tian?” Lin Yu took a glance at Emperor Yun and stopped showing the respectful look towards Yun Qingwu. Instead of directly answering Emperor Yun, he asked him back.

”Who do I think is the most likely to impersonate Meng Tian… Unless you are referring to Fang…”

”Exactly!” Lin Yu nodded and continued, ”Although based on the battle report, the tactic did not seem to be Fang Zhengzhi's tactics and neither does Fang Zhengzhi have such high capabilities, there are some similarities between the tone and expression of the attacker and Fang Zhengzhi. That is why I developed this speculation.”

”Speculation? Then what is the relationship between this and sacrificing the five Vice Domain Chiefs of the Demon Race?” Emperor Yun frowned and asked.

”In order to prove my speculation, we have to make a trip down to the Northern Mountain Village. If I went, Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to stand an advantage. However, if the five Vice Domain Chiefs of the Demon Race went and followed Young Lord's order to take revenge, then…” Lin Yu stopped at the last part of his sentence.

”Demon Deity, you mean you want the five Vice Domain Chiefs to get themselves killed?!” Emperor Yun finally understood what Lin Yu meant.

”Haha…” Lin Yu did not answer and instead, raised his teacup and took a small sip from it. ”According to Young Lord's plan, if we can keep holding on to the 'Source of God', then we will be able to get as many Vice Domain Chief of the Mortal State as we want!”

”However, just because of a mere speculation, we are… Alright, I understand, go and make the necessary arrangements right away.” Emperor Yun wanted to say something but after looking at Lin Yu's expression, he decided to not continue.

”Young Lord, what is your opinion?” Lin Yu waved his arm and stopped Emperor Yun who had already stood up from his chair, turning his gaze to Yun Qingwu.

Yun Qingwu stood up and stared outside of the palace. She bit her lips and looked hesitant.

”Qingwu, what are your views?” After taking a look at the silent Yun Qingwu and Lin Yu, Emperor Yun took a deep breath and asked again.

”Father, you don't have to seek my opinion for such small matters. You are the current Demon Lord.” Yun Qingwu took a glance at Lin Yu then Emperor Yun and said softly.

”Haha… Alright, then I shall decide!” Emperor Yun smiled and looked at the few Domain Chiefs standing underneath. ”Ying Dao, I shall put you in charge of this.”

”Sir Demon Lord, Young Lord had not expressed her views,” Ying Dao replied respectfully as he took a step forward.

”What do you mean?” Emperor Yun's smile froze.

”Sir Demon Lord, please seek Young Lord's views before making a decision. I am saying this because of the future of the Demon Race as I do not want a similar loss to be made like the one in the Northern Mountain Village.”

”You mean I sent out the troops previously without asking for others' opinions?!”

”I do not dare to say that, but it is true that Sir Demon Lord did not wait for Young Lord to return to the city before ordering the Demon soldiers to travel across the Cang Ling Mountain, resulting in the loss of a Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race and a few hundred Demon soldiers.

”You…” Emperor Yun clenched his fist and looked at Lin Yu again before turning his gaze to Yun Qingwu.

Emperor Yun could not make out much from Yun Qingwu's expression. Apart from a calm and peaceful look,a look of respect towards her father could be seen on her face.

Of course, Yun Qingwu did not speak. In fact, her words became very little after Emperor Yun ordered for the troops to travel across the Cang Ling Mountain before she returned to Blood Shadow City.

”Sigh…” Emperor Yun sighed and looked back at Ying Dao. ”I have an abdication edict that I have drafted for days, if Domain Chief Ying don't mind, please help me announce it.”

”Abdication edict!” The few other Domain Chiefs in the palace looked at each other after hearing Emperor Yun's words. Instead of looking surprised, they looked somewhat happy.

That was because the abdication of Emperor Yun and succession of Yun Qingwu had been something that everyone of the Demon Race had looked forward to. Furthermore, this announcement was also an assurance to the Demon Race.

The reason was simple…

Everyone knew the status of Yun Qingwu, the Young Empress of the Monster Race.

As the Young Empress of the Monster Race, Yun Qingwu's status was extremely respectable and valuable. However, this also implied something else.

She had double identity!

Therefore, in this battle for ”results”, the most important aspect was whether Yun Qingwu leaned in the Demon Race or Monster Race's favor.

The only way to solve this problem was to make Yun Qingwu the successor of the Demon Lord so that she could not abandon the Demon Race.

”I refuse to succeed the position of the Demon Lord. No more discussion is needed!” Yun Qingwu's voice caused Ying Dao who was about to start reading out the edict to freeze on the spot.

Soon, he regained his senses and fell to his knees and went to a kowtow position.

”In consideration of the future of the Demon Race, I hope Young Lord…”

”Shut up!”

”Young Lord…”

”Whoever who continues to mention about this matter would be killed!” As Yun Qingwu said this, she turned to bow to Emperor Yun before walking out of the palace.

The Demon Domain Chiefs kept silent after seeing this and stared at Emperor Yun with a worried expression.

Emperor Yun, on the other hand, instead of looking worried, looked somewhat shocked.

He was extremely clear about the current plight of the Demon Race.

Although he was still named the ”Emperor”, Yun Qingwu was more superior than him in terms of both her right to speak and credibility.

Emperor Yun did not actually feel unhappy about this.

That was because the future of the Demon Race could only be placed in the hands of Yun Qingwu, the sole potential successor of the Demon Lord.

Therefore, without a second choice, he did not bother about her credibility and right to speak.

After all, it was only a matter of time before Yun Qingwu became the successor of the Demon Lord.

”Qingwu, Dad genuinely wants to pass the position to you. Since the beginning of time, the Demon Race had followed the rule where the most powerful gets to take charge. Since a young age, Dad had been involved in training my skills, as compared to your intelligence, I am too short-sighted…” Emperor Yun sighed again after Yun Qingwu walked out of the palace.

”Demon Lord, do not be over-worried, it is indeed not the best time to handover your position to Young Lord now. However, I believe that within two years, Young Lord would agree to succeed.”
