Demon King City, Mu family.
“Although the truth is far more terrifying than what we knew before, we don’t need to be too pessimistic about the current situation.” Mu Yubai frowned and said, “In the past hundred years, the main reason why the Huai Palace has been able to accept so many forces to submit is because of the Little Demon Queen. First, she is a woman. Second, she does not have the Demon Emperor Seal. Third, her bloodline cannot be awakened. She does not have overwhelming and awe-inspiring strength. In addition, she has no successor. Therefore, if she shows enough strength in the Huai Palace, as well as appropriate temptations and threats, the faith of those palaces and guardian families will naturally be shaken…”
“But now, everyone in the world knows that the Little Demon Empress has taken back the Demon Emperor Seal. It won’t be long before her bloodline is awakened and she will be invincible. I’m afraid that now, those forces that lean towards the Huai Palace have begun to feel uneasy and panic. In addition, today Che’er has gathered the hearts of the heroes in the world to the Yun family and hinted at the ambitions of the Huai Palace to them… In this way, the Huai Palace will not dare to act rashly for at least twenty years! Unless they want to go against the wrath of the world!”
"That's true." Mu Yuqing and Mu Yukong also nodded in agreement.
Yun Qinghong glanced at Yun Che’s expression and said, “Che’er, you don’t seem to think so.”
Yun Che raised his head slightly and said calmly, “However, if the Little Demon Queen suddenly died… then for the Huai Palace, the threat of the Demon Emperor Seal and all the concerns would disappear!”
Yun Che’s words startled everyone. Yun Qinghong asked, “Are you worried that… Prince Huai’s Mansion will want to assassinate the Little Demon Queen?”
"That's absolutely impossible!" Mu Feiyan waved her hand and said, "Even if the Huai Palace became ten times more powerful than it is now, and even if they were ten times more courageous, they would never dare to attack the Little Demon Queen! The Little Demon Queen herself is extremely powerful, and there are many powerful people around her. Even for the Huai Palace, it would be difficult to kill the Little Demon Queen. On the contrary, the Little Demon Queen has always been eager for the Huai Palace to assassinate her. In this way, she can find traces and openly show the ambition of the Huai Palace and the crime of regicide and treason to the world, making the Huai Palace the target of the world... What the Huai Prince wants is to become the Demon King and command the world. He does not have the ability and courage to be the target of everyone's criticism."
“I know that.” Yun Che’s brows were still furrowed. “What I’m worried about is that if the Little Demon Queen is alone…if they catch her and leave no trace at all, then it will be completely disastrous.”
“Of course, this is even more impossible.” Mu Feiyan waved her hand again: “With the Little Demon Queen’s intelligence, she would never give the Huai Palace such an opportunity. The Little Demon Queen usually never leaves the Demon King City within 300 miles. Even if she really encounters danger alone outside the city, the fluctuation of her profound energy will be enough to alert the entire Demon King City in the first place.”
Yun Che was naturally aware of this… On the night when he and the Little Demon Queen first met, the Little Demon Queen casually set fire to the sky, and the area within ten miles became a sea of fire. With the power of the Emperor, the fluctuations of their profound energy when they fought with all their strength were enough to alarm people thousands of miles away.
But Mu Feiyan’s words still did not reassure Yun Che on this matter. He frowned and said while thinking, “On the first day I came to Monster King City, I heard Xiao Yun say that there were dense thunder and fire in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and there were many active thunder spirits and fire spirits… Is that a world with rules that are very different from the outside world?”
“That’s right.” Yun Qinghong nodded. “The existence of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley cannot be traced back. The generally accepted view is that in ancient times, the divine beast Golden Crow once descended on the Illusory Demon Realm, and the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley today is where it stayed. When it left, it left behind its soul and bloodline heritage, and with its supreme divine power, it transformed the area where it stayed into a semi-independent world with transcendental fire laws… As for why there are thunder spirits there, it has always been a mystery. It is generally said that there is a powerful thunder treasure somewhere in it.”
“So that’s how it is… Since it’s a semi-independent world with different laws from the outside world, then the Fire Spirits and Lightning Spirits in it won’t escape from that world, and the fluctuations and explosions of profound energy in it won’t affect the outside world. And from inside, there’s no way to transmit sound to the outside world… Is that right?” Yun Che’s brows furrowed even deeper.
“Indeed.” Yun Qinghong nodded. He then understood what Yun Che meant: “Che’er, are you worried… that the Little Demon Queen suddenly interrupted the ceremony and left. Did she go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley alone?”
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded solemnly. “The Little Demon Queen has endured a hundred years of crisis and pressure. Her greatest desire should be to awaken her bloodline and possess supreme profound strength. Today is the Little Demon Queen’s first hundred-year ceremony. The heroes of the world have gathered together, and I have turned the situation in her favor. After she obtained the Demon Emperor Seal, she decisively and hastily announced the suspension of the hall… and then left without any explanation. I still cannot accept her reason for using the Demon Emperor Seal to worship the previous Demon Emperor. I have thought of many reasons, but the most likely one is that she went to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley to awaken her bloodline as soon as possible in order to prevent any complications after obtaining the Demon Emperor Seal!”
“Also, she left in a very decisive and hurried manner, but she mentioned that ‘there is still half a month until the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley opens.’ This was completely unnecessary to say at the time. It was more like… she was deliberately reminding the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley that it would open in half a month, in order to cover up the fact that she would be able to open the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley soon.”
Yun Qinghong raised his eyebrows. He finally understood why Yun Che suddenly asked him if there was any other way to open the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley besides opening it by itself after the ceremony was interrupted. He turned to Mu Feiyan and said, "Father-in-law, have you ever heard of the Demon King's secret method to forcibly open the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley?"
Mu Feiyan frowned and thought hard, then slowly shook her head, "I've never heard of it. The Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley has always opened and closed on its own, and the barrier that blocks the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley is simply unbreakable. The lineage of the Demon King has been passed down for ten thousand years, and I have never heard of any Demon King or anyone else entering the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley when it is closed. This worry should be unnecessary."
“Nothing in this world is absolute!” Yun Che said calmly, “It has never happened before because the Demon King’s lineage has never encountered a crisis like this before, so there is no need to force their way in. In addition, they are in awe of the Golden Crow Land, so they will definitely not enter without reason… But that doesn’t mean that the Demon King’s lineage definitely doesn’t have a way to force their way in. If there is such a method… our Guardian Family doesn’t know about it, but it doesn’t mean that the other royal palaces definitely don’t know about it, because they all belong to the Illusory Demon Royal Family, so they will naturally know some secrets that belong only to the royal family.”
"And if the other princely palaces don't know... it doesn't mean that Huai Palace doesn't know. When Huai Palace first started its rebellion, the first thing it had to do was to use every possible means to find out all the secrets and trump cards of the Monster King family. They killed the former Monster King and the young Monster King, caused the guardian family forces to fall apart, and caused the Monster King's lineage to wither away until only the young Monster Queen remained. But they also deceived the entire Illusory Monster Realm into a false illusion. I have to admit that Huai Palace's methods are vicious, but also extremely advanced. I absolutely believe that they are capable of learning many secrets of the Monster King family that are unknown to outsiders."
No one would deny the power of the Huai Palace. Especially today, as the truth was gradually revealed, they were even more shocked to find that the Huai Palace was far more terrifying than they knew. Yun Qinghong frowned and said, “So, your worry is that the Little Demon Queen might know the method to forcefully open the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and suddenly interrupted the ceremony just to go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley as soon as possible. And in order not to alert anyone, especially the Huai Palace, she must go alone... And the Huai Palace might also know this secret and guess the whereabouts of the Little Demon Queen, and then follow her in and assassinate her!?”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded slowly: “Although it’s just a guess, but if… even if it’s just a guess that it’s correct, the Little Demon Queen will be in danger! Once the Little Demon Queen dies, the Demon King’s bloodline will completely disappear. Then, the most powerful Huai Palace can openly take over the position of the Demon King!”
“Hahaha.” Yun Che said this with an especially heavy tone, but Mu Feiyan burst into laughter: “As expected of my grandson, his mind is truly extraordinary, even more cautious and meticulous than that of the Prince of Huai. However, is this worry still unnecessary?”
Mu Feiyan said without any worry, "Che'er, even if all your guesses are true, the Little Demon Queen did know how to forcefully open the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and then she went there alone and quietly, and the Huai Palace also happened to know this secret as you said and guessed where the Little Demon Queen was going, and sent experts to follow her into the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley... But, the Little Demon Queen entered first, and even if the people in the Huai Palace reacted quickly enough, they would enter second. With the strength of the Little Demon Queen, she will definitely reach the Golden Crow Ancestral Land when they catch up. Only those with the Demon King's bloodline and the Demon King's Seal can enter the Golden Crow Ancestral Land. After the Little Demon Queen enters, even if the people in the Huai Palace have three heads and six arms, they can't do anything to her. If they force their way in... it is even more likely to attract the anger of the Golden Crow soul, and burn them all to ashes."
"When the Little Demon Queen came out of the Golden Crow's ancestral land, her bloodline had already been awakened, and she had the Golden Crow's Record of Burning the World with her. Even if everyone in the Huai Palace was mobilized, they would not be able to do anything to her."
"So, there is no need to worry about this. The Little Demon Queen suddenly interrupted the Demon Queen Ceremony. Maybe she didn't necessarily go to pay tribute to the previous Demon Emperor, but there must be a special reason and a reason that she didn't let us know. If she really went to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, it would be a good thing to awaken her bloodline as soon as possible to prevent more trouble."
Compared to Yun Che's speculation, Mu Feiyan's words were logical and impeccable. If the Little Demon Queen really wanted to go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley to awaken her bloodline as soon as possible, she would definitely go there at full speed without wasting a single moment of time...
Yun Che silently thought about the reaction of the Prince of Huai after the ceremony... He left in anger, with murderous intent towards him, but his steps were not hurried when he left, and his eyes were full of murderous intent and hatred, but he was also not anxious. If it was what he was worried about, he should have left quickly, after all, it takes time to arrange the staff.
Could it be that all these speculations and worries of mine are just overthinking?
Since he had arrived at the Mu family, it was natural that Mu Feiyan would insist on keeping him for dinner.
When I left the Mu family, night had already fallen. The streets of the Demon King City had also begun to become quiet, and seemed to be quieter than before.
Less than a mile away from the Mu family’s gate, Yun Che suddenly stopped and said seriously, “Dad, Mom, Xiao Yun, you guys should go back first… I want to go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.”
"Ah? Why?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise.
Yun Qinghong frowned: "Are you still worried that your guess will come true?"
“Che’er, didn’t your grandpa say that even if all your worries become reality, the Little Demon Queen will not be in any danger?” Mu Yurou said softly.
“What Grandpa said is indeed correct, but I always have a bad feeling.” Yun Che frowned and said.
"Intuition?" Xiao Yun opened his mouth.
“I never doubt my intuition.” Yun Che said solemnly, “Because it has saved my life countless times!”
"Uh..." Xiao Yun was confused. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
