Looking at his unkempt appearance with a scruffy beard like a middle-aged uncle, it was clear that he hadn’t attended court affairs for some time.
"If you have forgotten, why do you drown your sorrows in alcohol every day?" the Yinsha Demon King glanced at him and said calmly, "Don’t forget, I’m a bit older than you. I’ve seen you in high spirits, and I’ve seen your will crumble after a great calamity."
"So what if I haven’t forgotten?" Emperor Yan Qing took a swig of Spiritual Wine and scoffed self-deprecatingly, "The Chao Clan is the largest clan of the Demonic Dynasty, how could a mere borderland king like me contend with them?"
"Yan Qing, don’t belittle yourself, your clan is not weak either." The Yinsha Demon King replied with a cold smile, "The Chao Clan’s power is great. They run the Real Demon Palace as their family business, even making the Demon Lord’s legacy hereditary. With their overbearing ways, who knows how many people have grievances against them in private."
"What good are grievances? They dare only to grumble among themselves but not speak out. Besides, the current Little Demon Sovereign is indeed the best candidate for the next Demon Lord. With him around, the Chao Clan’s prestige will at least last for millennia. Under the Demon Lord’s authority, any amount of discontent must be swallowed."
"The Little Demon Sovereign indeed has potential to be among the top among past Demon Lords in terms of strength." The Yinsha Demon King’s eyes narrowed as he lowered his voice, "Unfortunately, he hasn’t truly inherited the True Demon Sutra yet and isn’t a true heir."

Emperor Yan Qing’s face turned grim as he suddenly realized something and glanced at the coldly composed ’Wang Longyan’, retorting sharply, "Yinsha Demon King, I advise you not to make rash moves. Although your disciple is extraordinarily qualified, even after inheriting your Yin Sha Magic Codex, she is still slightly inferior to the Little Demon Sovereign. Now that the Chao Clan is powerful, their fame in the Demonic Dynasty is second only to the Imperial Household; even if a bit superior, it’s still unlikely to succeed."
