Noticing the First Elder's gaze, the Second Prince's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "The First Elder Mingjian, it was not me who harmed the brothers, but the Crown Prince. After his father's death, he was worried that we brothers would threaten him. position, so they sent troops overnight to kill us, and I was forced to resist."
"The third and fourth brothers were both killed by the prince's men. I did not harm any of my brothers. If the elder doesn't believe it, you can ask everyone present. Many people can testify for us." As for the prince, If you want to kill him, you will naturally not count him as a brother.
The Great Elder's eyes fell on several Golden Crow Guard generals and several important ministers. Those people suddenly felt that they were being seen through, and they did not dare to lie at all.
They all trembled and reported to the elder what happened tonight, which was very different from what the second prince said.
"The Demon Emperor has passed away..." The First Elder was a little distracted. Although the royal court was in chaos today, for someone of his level, it was just a small fight.
On the contrary, the death of the Demon King is a more serious matter. An era has ended, and the Demon clan has also reached a point of life and death.
He calmed down and looked down at the second prince and the young prince: "So now you two are the only ones left of the Demon King's bloodline?"
The second prince was overjoyed: "That's right, we also ask the Great Elder to take charge of the overall situation."
Now that there are only two heirs left, it is obvious who should be chosen as the Demon Emperor compared to his younger brother.
Before, I deeply resented that all these years of hard work had come to nothing, and thought that God did not favor those who worked hard. Now I find that God is still good to me.
How can those great masters who have been won over before be as good as the great elder?
The Little Demon Queen at the palace gate felt nervous. She also understood that compared to the second prince, her son was really not competitive. If the elder made the decision, it would be over.
Fortunately, a steady voice rang out at this time: "The Demon Emperor passed the throne to the young prince before his death, and there is proof of it by shooting a sun bow!"
As he spoke, he shot the sun bow high into the air.
"The Demon Emperor's death, what's going on?" Looking at the sun-shooting bow, several elders looked shocked, and the elder's eyes burst out with two clear lights, staring at Zu An closely.
Zu An felt a spiritual sense scanning him. This clear light was similar to that of a lie detector machine.
Most people are so frightened when they are exposed to these clear lights that they will tell everything in detail. If asked carefully enough, they will even confess that they secretly watched the aunt next door take a bath when they were children.
But Zu An is not an ordinary person. He has seen countless powerful beings, talked and laughed with beings like the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor, and even witnessed the power of the Emperor of Heaven. Although this great elder is powerful, he is not as good as these people. Worth mentioning.
So he accepted the other person's gaze calmly and repeated what he said before. The Great Elder had a strange expression on his face. You should know that ordinary people would be frightened and trembling when he was shrouded in his gaze. How could they reply in such a dignified manner?
He was not sure whether his Qing Guang was working or not.
But he quickly gave up this idea. How could this young man hide his knowledge from me?
"The prince is really brave!" The great elder scolded the dead prince in a formulaic manner for a long time, then turned to Zu An, his eyes became inexplicably hot, "Do you still have the elixir you just mentioned?"
Zu An secretly laughed. These old monsters who were half-buried in the earth really had an inexplicable desire for longevity.
He shook his head: "The Demon Emperor didn't get it at the beginning, and since the secret realm is closed, I'm afraid I can only wait until the next time the secret realm is reopened."
Several elders suddenly looked disappointed. The elder knew clearly that it would take a long time for this kind of secret realm to be opened. It might take hundreds or thousands of years for the next opening, and he couldn't afford to wait even for decades.
He glanced at Zu An suspiciously, wondering if this kid had any reservations. Well, find an opportunity to ask him in private. Of course he wouldn't tell the truth in front of so many people.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be more and more congenial as they chatted, the second prince suddenly became anxious: "I protest, the demon emperors of all dynasties are recognized as strong men, and they can lead the demon clan to resist foreign enemies and become stronger. How can my father pass on the title of demon emperor?" If you give it to a child, wouldn't it put the demon clan in danger? I suspect that this guy Zu An is pretending to pass on the imperial edict!"
Several elders looked at each other and felt that this statement made some sense. In the long history of the demon clan, there has never been a precedent for a child to become the demon king.
The Little Demon Queen's heart sank. This was her son's biggest disadvantage. He originally thought that he could rely on powerful help from Zu An and others to rise to power, but now that the Council of Elders has come forward, he is probably going to fail.
At this time, Zu An said loudly: "You can even imagine such a simple truth in your slender brain. Do you think the Demon Emperor can't think of it? Let me ask you, who is the biggest enemy of the Demon Clan?"
"Of course it's the Human Emperor Zhao Hao!" the second prince blurted out, and this was what everyone present was thinking.
After so many years, this name is like a big mountain weighing on the demon clan, especially those who are older and more experienced, and have seen the terror of Zhao Hao.
For example, some of the elders looked a little ugly.
"That's right. For Human Emperor Zhao Hao, whether it's the young prince or you, the second prince, they are all children and not worth mentioning at all. So, does it really make any difference whether you are in power or the young prince is in power?"
"I..." The second prince wanted to retort, but no matter how conceited he was, he didn't dare to say that there was any difference in front of Zhao Hao. He could be crushed to death with just one finger. People would care whether you, an ant, are stronger or not. Weaker? They are all ants anyway.
At this time, a clear voice came: "I think what Zu An said makes sense. Since whoever becomes the Demon King is the same to the human race, considering that the demon race has experienced too much turmoil and blood in these days, Now we need a kind-hearted person to lead everyone to recuperate and not let everyone continue to bleed."
Wearing a sea blue fairy dress with wide sleeves, the graceful and moving lines are naturally outlined like the moonlight flowing down naturally. The bright pearls and beautiful corals inlaid on the dress make it easy for people to recognize her identity.
"Mermaid Princess!"
Ordinary soldiers would only marvel at the beauty and charm of this mermaid princess, but the upper-class people in the royal court knew how influential she was in the Sea Clan. What she said clearly represented the will of the Sea Clan.
The sea tribe supports the little prince!
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she had been hiding in the dark, just like the Great Elf King. Although she said she would not participate and left a way out for the family, she would still stand up and help at critical moments.
With the Elf Tribe and Sea Tribe taking the lead, representatives from the Demon Tribe and others also came out to support the little prince's side.
Hu Qianxiao regretted it so much that his thighs were almost swollen. These guys usually had their eyes above their heads, but they licked harder than anyone else. He fell behind even if he lost his concentration for a moment.
He also hurriedly came out to express his loyalty, and he said it so sincerely that it made all the forces look at him. Is this guy really the leader of the Tiger Clan? He couldn't be pretending to be the leader of the Dog Clan.
Seeing that these important forces of the demon clan were supporting the little prince, the second prince's face turned extremely pale. He knew that the situation was over and he was finished.
At this moment, a colorful divine light suddenly descended in the sky: "We, the Peacock Royal Family, also support the little prince, and besides..."
The visitor paused and turned to stare at the second prince coldly: "The second prince killed the prince and made the entire royal court a river of blood tonight. It needs to be settled properly."
"Peacock King Ming!"
Seeing the appearance of the person coming, everyone in the venue exclaimed.
The three major royal families of the demon clan reached the second level, and they all supported the little prince.
You must know that the three kings of Peacock Ming, Great Elf King, and Great Golden Roc have a transcendent status. They are almost the only existence of the demon clan next to the demon emperor. Their words can represent the will of the demon clan to a certain extent.
It may be difficult for King Peacock Ming to be kind to the second prince now.
King Peacock Ming was also furious at this time. He did not support the prince's actions today and did not want to get involved.
But who would have expected that the prince, a good-for-nothing, would take the first step and be killed instead. His death was actually none of his business. But what was terrible was that the Demon Emperor had just made an engagement for the prince not long ago, and the prince-concubine was the apple of his eye—Kong Nan. dance!
He was still a little hesitant about this marriage. Who knew that before the marriage was approved, his precious daughter became a widow directly? How could he not be angry?
