You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 455 - 43, Demon God Reincarnation_3

For this reason, as long as he could draw closer to this goal, even if the Human Clan perished, even if the heavens and earth collapsed and all spirits perished, it would not be too great a cost.

"Is that so?"

The Twelfth Prince spoke in a faint voice, "Given that Duanmu Yan is so special and must be highly regarded among the Demon Clan, what demands did he make in exchange for assisting you in killing the Fengtian Order?"

"He wanted my 'Heart Demon Path.'" The Eighth Prince glanced at him, "Let me repeat, it was he who sought me out and proactively proposed cooperation. At that time, I was unaware that he had transformed into a Demon Clan member, and I didn't even realize that his avatar was before me, likely the work of the Dream Demon Ancestor. By the time I found out, the deal had already ended, and he received only half of the 'Heart Demon Path', so you need not give me that look."

The Twelfth Prince did not say anything, only furrowed his brows and said, "This Duanmu Yan, having successively killed the Fengtian Order, must be plotting something."

"The Empress disappeared after the Emperor's Inspection, and the Demon Clan has also become restless," the Eighth Prince said. "But instead of suspecting me, you might as well be suspicious of the Seventeenth Prince. This half-demon as he is, fathered by a Demon God, and that Demon Clan Empress is none other than the Demon Ancestor's daughter."

The Twelfth Prince slightly furrowed his brow, then suddenly said, "Eighth Brother actually dares to tempt me with a Heart Demon even now, making me suspect the Fifteenth Brother at such a time. Do you want to pit me against him?"

"Oh?" The Eighth Prince revealed a genial smile, "It seems Twelfth Brother has grown a lot from reading, now even able to sense a Heart Demon?"

"Do Heart Demons like company?" The Twelfth Prince spoke indifferently, "How could I not be cautious while associating with an Ancestor of Heart Demon like Eighth Brother?"

The Eighth Prince said with a smiling face, "Speaking of which, this Duanmu Yan could well be a threat to the Seventeenth Prince. Aren't you tempted to join forces with Duanmu Yan?"

"The Seventeenth Prince is the reincarnation of Xiahou Shou," the Twelfth Prince replied after giving him a look. "Why would the Demon Clan kill him?"

The Eighth Prince laughed and said, "I have recently learned from a Demon Clan infiltrator, using the Heart Demon Path, of Xiahou Shou's status within the Demon Clan."

The Twelfth Prince looked at him.

"Prison Demon God."

The Eighth Prince said with a light laugh, "Xiahou Shou has long since Proven and Transcended within the Demon Clan. He is a Demon God. Yet, Your Majesty specifically went to Eternal Night to kill him, allowing him to reincarnate as a prince. Don't you find that strange, Twelfth Brother?"

"Demon God?" The Twelfth Prince couldn't help but frown.

As far as he knew, aside from the intriguing former lives of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the past lives of the other princes were nearly all top-tier candidates for Proving and Transcending Heaven and Earth.

Even the Third and Fifth Princes were the same in their past lives, only in this life, with the aid of the Ancient God's Way, were they able to quickly break through and achieve Proving and Transcending.

For the pursuit of the grand path, it was possible for a Saint to transform into a member of the Demon Clan.

A Demon Saint, in pursuit of Proving, reincarnating as a prince of the Xiahong family, could be understood, since upon reincarnation as a human, they no longer possessed the innate nature of the Demon Clan.

But... ƒrēenovelkiss.com

A Demon God was already an existence that had Transcended Heaven and Earth, having reached the end of the path, no longer needing to Prove. Why then, would the Divine Emperor have Xiahou Shou reincarnated as a prince?

"There must be a great secret within."

The Eighth Prince looked at the Twelfth Prince with a sly smile and whispered in a tempting tone, "Why don't you try, Twelfth Brother? With the Seventeeth Brother being such a calamitous reincarnation of a Demon God, shouldn't he be eliminated promptly? Besides, he is also your mortal enemy."

"The Eighth Brother need not continue to deceive with Heart Demons," the Twelfth Prince replied indifferently. "The Crown Prince and the Second Prince must also know, but they've done nothing, there must be a reason."

"As for mortal enemies..."

The Twelfth Prince glanced at him and spoke, "The Demon God has always been my mortal enemy, as has the Seventeenth Prince. What conflict does that present?"

"Hahaha..." The Eighth Prince burst into laughter, "It seems that the Twelfth Brother truly has confidence in his breakthrough. Let's see then."
