"Right! Unfit to be a princess!" "Yes! Today we will strip her of her princess title!" "Today we will expel her from the Demon Realm so she can never return to the Demon Race!"...

All of a sudden, the elders and those of high status within the Demon Race in the grand hall began to shout angrily, and the scene turned chaotic. At this moment, Meng Ji, Chu Linfeng, and Ling’er slowly walked in from the entrance of the hall.

"Who is so bold as to want to strip this princess of her title? Who dares to expel this princess from the Demon Realm? Ha! You have such nerve to be so disrespectful to this princess. I see you have been living too comfortably for too long!" Meng Ji said.

"Meng Ji, you shameless harlot, how do you have the face to come here? You disgrace the Demon Race! If the Demon Lord were alive, he’d be infuriated by a lowly woman like you!" one elder said.

"Ha, Grand Elder, I didn’t realize you had such a deep-seated prejudice against this princess. What my husband and I do in our chamber is none of your business. Who do you think you are to criticize this princess? Do you think I am an easy target?

Don’t forget whose domain this Demon Realm is and who your Demon Lord truly is! Today, I’d like to see how you plan to strip me of my title!" With a flash of anger on her beautiful face, Meng Ji’s killing intent filled the entire hall.

Currently, Meng Ji is also at the Sixth Level of Holy Martial Realm. In terms of strength, only Zhou Wenbin in the hall surpasses her. Her emergence of killing intent sent chills down the spines of those with lesser strength.

"Today, I want to see you deposed. What qualifications do you have to be the princess of our Demon Realm? What have you contributed to the Demon Race? Now you marry the Human Race; our Demon Race’s dignity cannot withstand such a disgrace," the Grand Elder said angrily.

Chu Linfeng originally did not intend to intervene in these matters, but upon hearing the elder’s offensive words, thought, "How dare anyone insult my woman?" The elder had become the first person that Chu Linfeng sentenced to death.

"You old fool, why are you barking, a mere elder? Are you worthy of speaking about my Xuan’Er? Look in the mirror to see what kind of person you are. You believe that fawning will bring you benefits if that person becomes the Demon Lord!" Chu Linfeng said, looking at the elder.

"You dare insult me, boy? You’re dead today!" The Grand Elder shouted as he prepared to attack Chu Linfeng.

"Enough!" Zhou Wenbin spoke up, aware that if he did not intervene, the situation would become unmanageable. To truly ascend to the Demon Lord’s position, he needed everyone’s support. Although they supported him, Meng Ji’s inheritance was a fact, and he needed to revoke her right to inherit to rightfully ascend the throne.

"Xuan’Er, marrying into the Human Race has already violated a major taboo of our Demon Race. Even though you are a princess, a princess breaking the law is subject to the same punishment as the common folk. We require a reasonable explanation, not bickering here in the hall," Zhou Wenbin said to Meng Ji.

"My marriage is none of your concern. Even if he is from the Human Race, what of it? As long as this princess likes him, no one has the right to stop me. The Demon Lord’s position was bequeathed to me by my father, and no one is more qualified to inherit it. I have returned for the Demon Lord’s position. Oppose me, and you’re going against this princess. For those against me, I have three words: ’Slay without mercy!’" Meng Ji declared with a harsh voice and stern expression.

"To inherit the Demon Lord’s position, you must gain everyone’s consent. I hope you seek the opinions of the elders and Protectors. Going against the collective would not be wise," Zhou Wenbin continued.

"There is nothing to discuss. When this princess makes a decision, it will be done. Anyone opposing me is my enemy. If my uncle objects, he is also my enemy. To my enemies, I have only three words, ’Slay without mercy!’" Meng Ji said.

Zhou Wenbin’s expression changed immediately. Glancing at everyone, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Meng Ji insists on ascending to the Demon Lord’s position. What are everyone’s thoughts?"

Chu Linfeng thought to himself, "This cunning person aims the crowd’s ire at Meng Ji. Such a vile person deserves death!" The man instantly became the second person Chu Linfeng sentenced to death.

"She cannot become the Demon Lord; even her princess title must be revoked. A woman wed to the Human Race has no place in the Demon Realm. Were it not for the former Demon Lord, she should be executed immediately."

"Exactly, expel her from the Demon Realm! We are willing for King Zhou to become the new Demon Lord of our realm!"

"We desire King Zhou as the new lord of the Demon Realm!" Suddenly, everyone expressed their stance, except for one relatively handsome middle-aged woman who remained silent.

Seeing everyone’s support, Zhou Wenbin beamed, waved his hand slightly, and said, "I am very grateful for the elders’ and Protectors’ esteem. I will endeavor to make our Demon Race more powerful. Since everyone believes I am qualified to be the Demon Lord, how should the princess’s succession rights be handled?"

"I support the princess as the leader of the Demon Realm!" The middle-aged woman stood and said, her simple statement astonishing everyone.

Meng Ji glanced at the woman, then smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, thank you. You are the only one supporting Xuan’Er!"

"Meng Xianglan, how dare you oppose King Zhou? Do you have a death wish?" The Grand Elder couldn’t help but speak up.

The more Chu Linfeng watched, the more unpleasant he felt. These people seemed destined for death. He said to the Grand Elder, "Old fool, it seems you want a death wish!"

"Courting death!" the elder thought, furious, as the young human dared to defy him again. Not having cooled from the initial rage, this provocation fueled his anger further, and he could not let it go without killing him.

With a flash of his figure, he was in front of Chu Linfeng, swinging a bony hand in a strike accompanied by a wind-thunder sound, indicating considerable power.

"Careful!" the middle-aged woman shouted, scrambling to save Chu Linfeng. However, just as she left her position, she saw Chu Linfeng’s body move slightly. A pig-like scream burst from the Grand Elder’s mouth as he flew back several meters, knocking several other elders to the ground.

The sudden change stunned everyone. The Grand Elder lay on the ground, unable to get up, while those he had collided with were also on the ground, spewing blood, with two of them struggling before closing their eyes.

Nobody saw how Chu Linfeng acted, except for a flash of blue light, and then the Grand Elder was thrown. Looking closely, a large hole appeared in his chest where the organs were shattered; he was deader than dead...
