Chapter 587: Terrible Speculations

Although it looked like just a small icicle, the reactions of Mu Yubai and the others showed how rare and powerful this "icicle" was. Mu Feiyan ignored the reactions of her three sons and said with a smile, "This thing is called the Heavenly Cold Crystal, and it is the heirloom of my Mu family. Although it looks insignificant, if you crush it in a critical moment, the power released will instantly condense into an extremely solid cold crystal barrier that can last for up to three hours. In this cold crystal barrier, no one can hurt you, even if your great grandfather is still alive, he can't break it."

"There were originally three Tianjue Han Crystals, but now there is only one left. The other two saved the lives of two ancestors respectively." Mu Feiyan said with some pride.

Forming a protective barrier that even high-level emperors could not break, and it lasted for three hours... Yun Che's heart was moved! This is a real life-saving item! With it, it will be like having an extra life! Moreover, at a critical moment, with a guarding time of three hours, even if no one came to rescue him, with his physique, he could recover his injuries and profound strength to a great extent.

This is truly a treasure that he simply cannot refuse!

Mu Yubai stuttered as he shouted, "Grandpa, didn't you say you were going to give this Heavenly Cold Crystal to your eldest grandson?"

Mu Yubai regretted it the moment he said it... As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feiyan's eyes glared at him: "How dare you mention my grandson to me! Where is my grandson! Where is he!! The ice wolf I raised a hundred years ago has given birth to more than a dozen cubs, but you three useless things haven't even produced a fart. You made me lose face in front of those old guys for more than a hundred years. Now my grandson has restored my face. Do you still have any objections to my giving me a greeting gift?!"

Mu Yuqing and Mu Yukong waved their hands in panic: "Grandpa, it was Big Brother who said that just now. We didn't say anything. It's so appropriate to give this Tian Jue Han Crystal to the eldest nephew. Grandpa is so wise!!"

Mu Yubai's eyes twitched violently, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time. He knew that the old man had been missing grandchildren for years, and now he had a grandson, so of course he had to spoil him a lot... But this grandson was spoiled to the extreme, and on the first day, he took out all the treasures from the bottom of the box... In comparison, he, the eldest son, had no status at all.

However, considering Yun Che's excellence, it didn't seem so difficult to accept that the old man treated him this way.

Mu Yurou's pair of phoenix eyes had already turned into two thin crescents. She knew very well how precious the Tianjue Cold Crystal was. If Mu Feiyan gave it to her, she would have refused it with some fear. After all, it was a family heirloom of the Mu family. But if it was given to her son, she would have given him another life-saving treasure. Of course, she would not refuse it at all. She smiled and said, "Che'er, why don't you thank Grandpa quickly."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Yun Che certainly would not refuse, and took the Heavenly Absolute Cold Crystal away, with gratitude flashing through his heart... He knew why Mu Feiyan would give him such a precious Heavenly Absolute Cold Crystal without hesitation. He had completely offended the Huai King and the seven clans today, and had planted hatred, which was also a murderous intention. With the power of the Huai King, even the Yun and Mu clans could not guarantee that they could always protect him... This Heavenly Absolute Cold Crystal could allow Yun Che to save his life when he was in danger... Three hours of absolute protection, and voice transmission to inform him of his location, was enough for them to rush to his side and relieve him of the crisis.

"Hahaha!" Mu Feiyan laughed heartily, not even showing any pain at all: "As long as you like it, we're family, why thank me."

"However," Mu Feiyan's smile slowly faded, and she said with some concern: "Che'er, there is something that Grandpa has to say. You were brave and resourceful today, and your strength and courage were impeccable. Not only did you revive the prestige of the Yun family, but you also defeated the Huai Wang, who the Little Demon Queen had been helpless against. However, your scolding and humiliation of the Huai Wang faction, as well as Helian and other guardians of the family, although it was refreshing, it was really inappropriate."

Speaking of today's events, everyone's faces became solemn. Mu Feiyan continued, "Prince Huai is a man of great scheming and amazing skills. The power he possesses is far beyond your imagination, otherwise the Little Demon Queen would not have known his ambitions but was unable to expose them or act rashly. You could have done it tactfully today, but you completely angered him. He must be holding a grudge against you and is full of murderous intent. Although he won't deal with you openly, he will definitely attack you from behind. Alas."

Mu Yubai nodded slowly: "Che'er, your grandpa is right. Although you have made great contributions today, you have also brought yourself great danger."

Yun Che smiled faintly and said, “The word ‘endurance’ is like a knife hanging over your head. Only by being able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure can you live in peace for the rest of your life and become a superior person… This is what my master who taught me medicine often mentioned to me since I was a child. It was also one of my life creeds. However, in the end, my master died at the hands of those people who had made him a great ninja…”

Mu Feiyan: "..."

Yun Qinghong: “…”

"After that, I finally understood that the knife on top of the word '忍' would not only cause me pain and frustration, but it could also cost me my life. So, instead of stabbing myself in the mouth, I'd rather stab my enemy in the body!"

Although Yun Che had a smile on his face, everyone could hear a kind of indifference and hatred from his soul in his voice. These words made it almost impossible for them to believe that they came from the mouth of a young man who was only 22 years old. It was even more difficult for them to imagine... how many storms and hardships he had experienced to have the state of mind and achievements he had today.

For a moment, everyone was silent, unable to refute. Yun Che continued, “Prince Huai is very difficult to deal with, I understand that. He is ambitious, and he must be the driving force behind the decline of my Yun family. If it is only about whether he wants to kill me, then I have no reason to back down from him! On the contrary, he is a very careful person, and such people are often too cautious and think too much. Today, I have not only completely offended him, but also the seven clans, and even insulted them in public, making them lose face. When Prince Huai has murderous intentions, he will also think about whether my attitude is reckless and ignorant, seeking death, or relying on something... and he was defeated by me today, and every attack was counterattacked by me several times, so the former possibility is naturally ruled out. He will think that I am so unscrupulous, and there must be a strong support behind me... A support that is not afraid of his murderous intentions.”

"Add to that the strength I've shown, the profound attack that's beyond everyone's knowledge, and the fact that I was able to quietly reach the Illusory Demon Realm from the Profound Sky Continent. This possibility will be infinitely magnified in the mind of King Huai. He must be extremely suspicious that there must be an extremely powerful master or even a force behind me who is even beyond the mundane world. As a result, he has some reservations and will not rashly attack me before he thoroughly investigates my past."

Mu Feiyan looked at Yun Che with an extremely astonished look. It was clearly only the first time he met Huai Wang today, but he had read Huai Wang's character to the letter. Huai Wang was indeed a thoughtful and cautious person. He would never act rashly without absolute certainty. He was ambitious, and the power he controlled had long surpassed that of the Little Demon Queen, but he had been patient and had waited until today... Today, he was absolutely sure, but he met Yun Che and ended up in a miserable defeat.

"That's right!" Mu Yuqing said, "To be honest, even your uncle suspects that you must have a master who is extraordinary and holy! Otherwise, you wouldn't be so ridiculously strong, and you wouldn't be so arrogant in front of King Huai."

Yun Qinghong didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

"What Che'er said is indeed correct." Mu Yurou said, "Prince Huai will definitely have such doubts and will be afraid, and there must be quite a few who think so. However, Prince Huai was scolded so harshly by Che'er today, I'm afraid he has never been humiliated like this in his life. A desperate dog will jump over the wall, so I'm afraid... so it's better to be extremely careful."

“I’m not worried about that.” Yun Che laughed instead. “If it were anyone else, they would have a high chance of going all out, but he’s the King of Huai! If he was so easily impulsive, he wouldn’t be in such a position today. Let him take the knife hanging over his head. From now on, I will not hide at home, but will show up in public. I’m 99% sure… he won’t attack me, at least not in the short term.”

Yun Qinghong nodded: "I agree with what Che'er said. With the character of the King of Huai, even if he has a strong desire to kill Che'er, he should not take action in the short term. Now Che'er has the Tianjue Frost Crystal to protect him. Even if he really encounters a fatal plot, he can escape safely."

"Well... I hope so." Mu Feiyan frowned slightly and nodded slightly.

“Regarding Prince Huai, I have a very scary guess.” Yun Che suddenly said seriously.

"A terrible guess?"

Yun Che frowned, and his voice dropped significantly: “I suspect that the ambition of the Prince of Huai was not born after the first Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor were murdered, but was planned long ago when the first Demon Emperor was still alive! Moreover… it was a conspiracy with the Profound Sky Continent!!”

“Ah!!” Yun Che’s words were undoubtedly like thunder from the sky, causing Xiao Yun to cry out in shock.

"What!!" Mu Yubai and the other two's expressions suddenly changed.

Yun Qinghong quickly stood up, swung his arms out like lightning, and released the power of thunder, instantly setting up an extremely powerful soundproof barrier around him. Although this was in the Mu family, and even in Mu Feiyan's own courtyard, what Yun Che said was too important and could not be heard by anyone.

“Go on!” After setting up the soundproof barrier, Yun Qinghong looked at Yun Che and said in a deep voice.

Yun Che saw that Yun Qinghong and Mu Feiyan both had heavy expressions on their faces, but they did not look too surprised. Obviously, they had already had some suspicions. He took a deep breath and continued, “There are four reasons why I am so suspicious.”

"First, back then, the Profound Sky Continent suddenly invaded the Illusory Demon Realm in order to seize the Demon King's most precious treasure, the Samsara Mirror! However, before that, the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm had basically never interacted with each other, and they only knew of each other's existence. Why did they suddenly know of the existence of the Samsara Mirror? What's even more strange is that although the Samsara Mirror is the Demon King's most precious treasure, no one has ever known what it does, and no one knows how to use it. It has been useless for ten thousand years. But the people of the Profound Sky Continent want to seize it at all costs! It seems... someone told the people of the Profound Sky Continent about the existence of the Samsara Mirror, and deliberately fabricated and exaggerated the role of the Samsara Mirror, thereby triggering those people's greed and ambition!"

"And such a person can only be from the Illusory Demon Realm!"

“Secondly, this is clearly the territory of the Illusory Demon Realm, but the invaders from the Profound Sky Continent were able to attack the Demon King City directly, and they came and went freely. Even if the Demon King City was fully prepared, they were able to retreat unscathed every time. It seems that they know everything about the Demon King City, even the response plan! The biggest possibility is that they have an insider in the Demon King City!”

"Moreover, this traitor is not only in the Demon King City, but also has a very high status!"

"Third, a hundred years ago, my grandfather led ten great elders of the Yun family to rescue the former Demon Emperor... Eleven high-level emperors, this is a force that can shake the world. Even if the eleven high-level emperors join forces, even if they can't save the former Demon Emperor, they should be able to retreat unscathed... At least I don't believe that there is any force in this world that can hold back the eleven high-level emperors!"

“But… Grandpa told me that when they first arrived at the Profound Sky Continent, they were directly trapped in the ‘Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation’! The Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation, which can block the profound power of eleven high-level emperors, would consume a huge amount of energy even if it lasted for a moment! It is impossible for them to have been there all the time, and it is clear that they knew the time and place of Grandpa’s arrival and waited for them… In other words, before Grandpa and his friends left for the Profound Sky Continent, someone used some method to tell those people the time and place of their departure!”

"And the only ones who can accurately know the movements of Grandpa and his men, and have the ability to transmit sound over such a long distance, are also forces that are no less powerful than the Yun family!!"

“Fourthly, the death of the Little Demon Emperor is too suspicious and strange! At today’s ceremony, although I claimed that he went to save the previous Demon Emperor in person because he was extremely disappointed in protecting his family… But in fact, I absolutely do not believe that the Little Demon Emperor would do something like losing control after drinking and going to the Profound Sky Continent alone! Even if he really wanted to go, he should at least leave offspring with the Little Demon Queen, otherwise, he would be severing his own Demon Emperor bloodline! As the son of the Demon Emperor, how could he do such a foolish thing!”

"The death of the little demon emperor... was most likely caused by someone's conspiracy!"

Yun Che raised his head and said slowly: "And all of this points to... the Huai Palace!" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
