Under One Person, Reviving the Trinity Sect

At night, the Sunset Palace, a forbidden area deep in the imperial palace.

The Sunset Demon Emperor and a group of kings and demon masters gathered here. The body of each master was filled with a terrifying aura, more powerful than ever before.

Just a few days ago, after escaping from the Youyu battlefield after a narrow escape from death, the Sunset Demon King immediately fled back to the demon clan’s base camp and put into use the power accumulated by the royal court for generations.

In the abyss-like restricted area of ​​the imperial palace, there are ancient stars of life that were imprisoned from outer space by successive demon kings, who suppressed them under the Nine Netherworlds in case of emergency.

A total of twenty-six ancient life stars were sealed by the royal lineage's chess map of stars. Planets with diameters of hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers were transformed into inconspicuous chess pieces one after another and placed in the chess map of the forbidden area, almost cut off from the outside world forever, and became blood bags for successive demon kings to use at any time.

In just a few days, the twelve chess pieces on the chessboard were shattered. The Sunset Demon King devoured most of them to ease his injuries, and distributed the rest to the twelve kings to help them advance to a stronger level.

Now, among the twelve kings present, except for the Taotie Saint King who is the ruler of the Nine Palaces, the rest are all at the Eighth Palace realm.

"My dear ministers, what do you think I should do?"

The Sunset Demon King had changed his usual calm demeanor and his face was full of sorrow. He paced back and forth, never having a definite idea.

"."

The whole place was silent. No king dared to stand up at this juncture and say words that would destroy his own prestige and boost the morale of others.

In fact, they all knew very well that there was no possibility of winning this war. As the Demon King's confidants, disciples, and close friends, they all knew the details of that battle.

Now that the Demon Lord has escaped, the root disease has revived, and the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword Sect are pressing forward step by step, as long as the fight continues, the Sunset Court, which is only ruled by the two Nine Palaces Lords, will have no chance of winning.

Seeing that his ministers were speechless, perhaps because of his own majesty, the Sunset Demon King's heart darkened again, and the idea that had originally sprouted became stronger, just when he wanted to blurt it out.

The Taotie Saint King on the side spoke.

"Your Majesty, the situation is about to change. The root of the epidemic is far beyond our ability to contend with. It has obtained the three great spiritual treasures. It is only a matter of time before it recovers its peak combat power. Moreover, it has the help of the Demon Lord. Therefore, I am risking my life to make a warning. I hope Your Majesty will understand the people of the Sunset Royal Court and leave them a glimmer of hope. Take them and flee far away."

The Taotie Saint King knew that these words that would demoralize the army should not be spoken by the Demon King, so he voluntarily took on this cowardly role.

As soon as these words were spoken, they aroused the expectations of the kings and masters. Their eyes were slightly moved, and their hearts trembled, and they suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

The Sky-Swallowing Python King, the Sky-Shaking Ant King, the Red Centipede King, the Dark Blade King, the Flood Dragon King, the Evil Ape King, the Sky-reaching Cicada King, the Blood-Slaying White Tiger King, the Holy Pegasus King, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Insect King, and the Flame-Tyrant Bull King.

All eleven kings felt unwilling, yet powerless.

The Sunset Demon King's gaze was slightly guilty as he gently scanned their faces and the faces of every other minister one by one. Finally, he murmured:
"You guys go."

"I won't leave."

"I will arrange the migration."

"Your Majesty! You must not do that! As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood! If you stay, you will be doomed."

The loyal Evil Ape King tried his best to dissuade him, and immediately half-knelt on the ground, loudly begging the Demon King to take back his order.

The Taotie Saint King saw that the Demon King was trapped by his inner demon and had already fallen into it. Both of his clones were killed by Jiang Mo. How could he endure it? Now he had to escape in a panic. Even if he saved his life, it would be difficult for him to make any further progress in his cultivation in the future.

Regarding this, the Taotie Saint King didn't know how to persuade him. He understood the Demon King's feelings and didn't want to restrain him with justice. He could only stay there silently and sigh in his heart.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense. Seeing that something was not right, another king spoke up, looking panicked:

"Your Majesty, you can't just leave us alone. Without your protection, how can we survive in a foreign land? What if the ancient planet of life we ​​migrated to also has powerful creatures?"

The person who spoke was the Sky-Shaking Ant. It had always worshipped the Sunset Demon Emperor the most, and it also knew that this emperor had the determination to fight to the death. Otherwise, with the magical powers of its race, there would be no existence in the world that could restrain its freedom.

"Master, King Han Tian is right."

The Holy Pegasus King echoed, and then said in a deep voice: "Forbearance is the foundation of achieving greatness. Isn't this what you taught me? Please forgive me for my selfish desires. I just want you to survive."

"We still have a chance. I believe that one day you will reach the highest and most powerful realm and return with the people of the royal court in glory. Please think deeply again and again and consider the fate of your subjects."

Soon, the Bloody White Tiger King also stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, if you fight to the death, I will die with you."

"The royal court without you is nothing but a bunch of rabble to me. Look at these kings and ministers, all of them are ambitious. If you leave, they will surely become disloyal. I would rather fight with you to the end than to engage in intrigue with these people."

The Bloody White Tiger King had a particularly manic personality and spoke his mind, showing that he looked down on the nine kings except the Taotie Saint King and the Pegasus Saint King, as well as the many demon masters present.

Why are Taotie and Tianma exceptions?
Because their titles contain the word "holy", they are almost on par with the Demon King.

The ancestor of the Taotie Saint King clan made countless earth-shaking contributions to the Sunset Emperor at the beginning of the establishment of the Demon Court. It is no exaggeration to say that one third of the Demon Court's territory was conquered by that extremely powerful Demon Emperor, so he has a distinguished status.

Secondly, the royal court also had a special system of enthroning kings, which was closely related to the succession to the throne.

There are two forms of inheritance for each generation of Demon King. Either the most outstanding direct descendant of the Demon King takes the throne, or the strongest disciple of the Demon King takes the throne.

Coincidentally, the king of the Tianma clan became the disciple of the Demon King in this generation. He possessed extremely high talent, was awarded the title of Saint, and was openly trained as the next generation of Demon King.

The Bloody White Tiger King did not dare to disrespect these two, but all other kings became the targets of its criticism.

"A wolfish ambition? It's not your turn to question my loyalty to His Majesty."

"No matter what His Majesty orders, I will resolutely execute it. On the contrary, you, because you are close to the Holy King of Pegasus, want to take this opportunity to force His Majesty to abdicate and make him announce the new successor to the throne, right?"

"I tell you, if His Majesty announces that Tianma is the new emperor, I will still be loyal to him. But before that, you have no right to look down on us. It is we who should look down on you. As a subject, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you plot against His Majesty. You are so bold, Xuesha!"

There was a fierce light in the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Python King, with a strong murderous intent that he did not conceal at all. He had long disliked this sick cat. If the Demon King had not forbade the kings to fight among themselves, he might have been able to get rid of this damn beast in secret.

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense and the smell of gunpowder filled every wisp of air.

Before the Demon King could stop him, the Dark Blade King, the Sky-reaching Cicada King, and the Hundred-eyed Demon Insect King all tore apart the last trace of gentleness.

"Xuesha, stop trying to sow discord here!"

"Since you are making up stories, I might as well say it clearly. If Your Majesty lets Tianma succeed to the throne immediately, I will never submit. It is not qualified to lead us. It is far from being qualified to be the emperor!"

"Even if I die in battle, I will never leave you alone."

For a moment, the three kings showed strong resistance, and soon, several more kings joined their camp.

The meaning of these kings is very clear. If the Demon King leaves, they will leave. If the Demon King doesn't leave, they will never leave and will never accept the rule of Tianma or Taotie.

For a moment, the two internal separatist forces quarreled endlessly.

The Sunset Demon King looked at the chaotic situation in front of him. The kings on both sides were all ferocious and eager to kill the disputants on the opposite side. However, he was not angry, but just watched quietly and fell into deep thought.

"Xuesha, it's useless to say more. If you have the guts, fight me in a duel. I'll kill you, a talker."

"What a joke! I'm afraid of you? Tuntian, don't take yourself too seriously!" "Xuesha, you're wrong! What right do you have to frame us in front of His Majesty?"

"Chi Wu, make sure you understand your position. Do you want to betray His Majesty too?"

"Oh, you know exactly who betrayed His Majesty and rushed to show goodwill to the new emperor!"

"."

The kings quarreled more and more fiercely, and even the ministers were involved in the dispute, which turned into two opposing forces, one led by Tianma and Taotie, and the other led by Tuntian and Chiwu.

An undeniable fact lies before the Sunset Demon King, that is, apart from him, the Taotie Saint King and the Pegasus Saint King really cannot suppress those unruly kings.

The Demon King ignored the chaotic scene, as if he was somewhere else and did not interfere at all. He was thinking about the decision he was about to make.

Those who dare not disobey and choose to obey are given strict orders to leave.

Tolerance and death should be given to those who are unruly and extremely loyal, and their feelings and choices should be respected.

After a few breaths of silence, the Sunset Demon King's eyes suddenly became fierce, and a terrifying pressure burst out from his body, sweeping across the entire venue in an instant, shocking all the ministers and kings. They suddenly turned pale, and dared not move again, and shut up one after another.

"enough."

"Isn't that enough to bother me?"

The casual scolding from the Sunset Demon King made all the demons sweat profusely.

"Pegasus."

"The disciple is here."

"After the migration begins, you will be the new Demon King. The throne will be handed over to you. Please take good care of my bloodline."

The Sunset Demon King announced expressionlessly that he was particularly optimistic about the Pegasus Saint King, who was his most beloved disciple, bar none. He even loved the Pegasus Saint King more than the ordinary princes and princesses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will never let you down."

The Holy King Tianma's eyes reddened, knowing that these were words of farewell forever. His knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Taotie." The Sunset Demon King then looked at the old man beside him.

"The minister is here."

"Your clan has always been the hero of the Sunset Royal Court, from the First Emperor's generation to my generation. You have worked hard. Today, our ancestors would like to express their gratitude to you. Please accept my greeting."

After saying that, the Sunset Demon King held up his hands and bowed deeply to the Taotie Saint King.

"Your Majesty, I am so ashamed to receive your high regard. I am so ashamed to receive your high regard."

After the Demon King finished his ceremony, Taotie Saint King hurried forward to help it up and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions? Just tell me, I will do my best to relieve your worries."

"Tianma is still young and lacks experience. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain the trust of the kings and the recognition of hundreds of millions of people. From now on, you will be his father-in-law and serve as regent, assisting Tianma until he can stand on his own. Is that okay?"

The Sunset Demon King tightly grasped the hands of the Taotie Saint King and spoke sincerely, as if he wanted to hand over half his life's hard work and the fate of the great royal court to the old man. As the ruler of the Nine Palaces, he had the qualifications to do so.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand. I will obey your order and use the rest of my life to uphold my promise to Your Majesty."

The Taotie Saint King's expression darkened, and he spoke while suppressing his sadness.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you."

The Sunset Demon Emperor showed a comforting smile, "You will be ready later. Crown Pegasus, put on the imperial robe, inherit my throne, and announce to the whole clan that I will send you away in one hour."

"Yes," the Taotie Saint King sighed.

Hearing this, the six or seven kings present had obviously unhappy expressions on their faces, and clenched their fists one by one. They knew that His Majesty valued the Holy King Pegasus, but they did not expect it to be so exaggerated.

Noticing that their emotions were about to get out of control, the Demon King looked at them calmly and said gently:
"Swallow the Sky, Red Centipede, Flood Dragon, Hundred Eyes, Shake the Sky, Dark Blade, Tongtian"

"I am here." The seven kings said in unison.

"Let me ask you one question. Do you recognize the ascension of the Holy King Tianma to the throne?"

"Your Majesty, I don't recognize you."

Tuntian looked at the Demon King and said firmly: "Either you kill us now, or let us stay with you. Otherwise, don't even think about us submitting to it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is our awareness."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Insect King patted his chest and said, "Let us follow you, even to the end of death, without any regrets."

Knowing that it was a losing battle, the seven kings chose to stay without hesitation.

"it is good"

"Then I'll trouble you all to follow me and turn this world upside down."

The Sunset Demon Emperor was very pleased and smiled faintly: "You can stay, and your clansmen and families will leave with the new emperor. Is there any objection to this? If you continue to bargain, I will be really annoyed."

"It all depends on your majesty's will." King Tuntian nodded in response.

“New emperor, treat their families better.” The Sunset Demon Emperor did not want to disappoint these kings, so he gave more instructions to the Pegasus Saint King.

"Yes, Master, I will keep it in mind and will never forget it."

The Sunset Demon King nodded, and once again looked at the ministers other than the kings, and said:

"Your cultivation is far inferior to that of Tian Tun and Chi Wu. I am sorry that some of you want to come down, but I cannot indulge you. I feel sorry for you all."

"Follow the army, go to the more distant starry sky, and take root on the other side. You don't need to worry about my situation. Just take care of the people of the royal court for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of demon officials knelt down, some burst into tears, some silently looked at the face of the Demon King as if they wanted to remember it, and some immediately expressed their willingness to carry out all arrangements made by His Majesty.

Soon, in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, the Demon King completed many arrangements and dispersed his subjects. In the end, only Taotie, the new emperor, and the seven kings who insisted on staying were left.

"Your Majesty, do you have any trump card that can reverse the situation?" asked the Taotie Saint King worriedly.

"Yeah? Maybe."

The Sunset Demon King raised a self-deprecating smile. He was not very sure, he just wanted to compete and decide his life or death. (End of this chapter)
