"Good...very good!" Helian Peng nodded heavily and clapped his hands: "I have heard that my nephew Xinyue is very talented. After seeing him today, I find that he is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is three times better than my useless son. It seems that as long as my nephew Xinyue is here, the rumors that the Yun family is about to fall into complete decline will only be a joke."
After seeing Yun Xinyue's performance, Helian Peng was amazed and praised him highly, even calling him "nephew". Although Yun Waitian felt a little strange, he couldn't hide his pride and said, "Brother Helian, you are too kind. My child Xinyue is still young and has a long way to go. In the future, I hope Brother Helian will give me more advice and guidance."
"Brother Yun, you are too modest." Helian Peng said with a smile.
“Humph, Yun Xinyue’s talent is indeed good. The Yun family has not been able to enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley for a hundred years, but they were still able to cultivate such a descendant, who is also born with the blue profound energy. It is indeed rare. However, Helian Peng really praises her too much.” Number One Under Heaven said in a low voice.
"Haha," Tianxia Wudi smiled faintly. He glanced into the distance and said softly, "Don't think too much. Today, we are just spectators."
The elders of the Yun family were very pleased with Helian Peng's praise. They felt that Yun Xinyue had earned back a lot of face for the Yun family, which was at its lowest point, and naturally respected and appreciated him even more. The young disciples of the Yun family looked at Yun Xinyue with envy and admiration in their eyes.
Yun Xiao returned to Yun Qinghong's side, but he didn't look disappointed, because his defeat to Yun Xinyue was not something that he couldn't accept, but rather the most normal thing. Yun Qinghong glanced at him and said, "Xiao'er, remember, no matter when or who you are facing, never think that you should be weaker than someone, and don't think that you should lose! That is the mentality that only cowards and losers would have!"
Yun Qinghong's words were like a thunderclap in Yunxia's ears. He straightened his body suddenly and said seriously, "Yes, I will teach you."
Time was gradually approaching the time for the Yun Family Competition to officially begin. At this time, the three great elders that the Yun Family had been quietly waiting for finally arrived.
Three purple clouds floated silently in the sky above the Holy Cloud Platform. From the core elders to the younger generation of the Yun family, all stood up and looked at the sky with respect. Then, three purple lights spread out at the same time, casting a strong purple light of thunder and lightning. In the purple light, three figures slowly emerged. They floated side by side in the air. The three overlapping auras also slowly and silently enveloped it. These three auras were not aggressive at all, but as vast as the starry sky and as majestic as the sea. Under this aura, everyone seemed to be illuminated by the holy light, and even had the urge to kneel down and worship.
These three people were like three saints from outer space, looking down at the people of the Yun family from the sky.
Tianxia Wudi, Mu Yubai, and Helian Peng also stood up... because in terms of seniority, they were just juniors in front of these three people.
These three men looked like middle-aged men, with black hair and black beards, but their aura was full of the accumulation of years, and people could feel a clear and somewhat heavy sense of old age.
Yunhe, Yunjiang, and Yunxi are the only three remaining great elders of the Yun family. A hundred years ago, the three of them were ranked last in the generation of great elders of the Yun family. However, with the death of the ten strongest people of the Yun family and the demon king Yun Canghai in the Profound Sky Continent, they became the three strongest people of the Yun family... and the three strongest cornerstones of the entire Yun family.
He floated half a body above the clouds, bowed, and said respectfully: "Welcome the three great elders!"
"Welcome the three great elders!" the entire Yun family shouted in unison.
“Xiao’er, help me up.” Yun Qinghong said.
With Yun Xiao's help, Yun Qinghong slowly stood up. Above him, the middle elder said, "Qinghong, you are physically ill, so you don't have to follow these customs. Sit down."
Yun Qinghong shook his head, stood up straight, and then bowed to the three great elders as a respectful junior: "There is an order of seniority and distinction between the old and the young, and the noble and the humble. Our Yun family has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the heavens and the earth have witnessed it! As the head of the Yun family, how can I, Yun Qinghong, violate this basic etiquette."
Yunhe, Yunjiang, and Yunxi all vaguely heard the hidden meaning behind Yun Qinghong's words. They looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Yunhe raised his hand and said, "Qinghong, you have a strong character. It's good and bad... Sit down."
"The arrival of several distinguished guests is very welcome in our Yun family, but today's matter is an internal matter of our Yun family, which may be related to the future trend of our Yun family. I hope that the distinguished guests can just be spectators and do not interfere." Yunxi said lightly. Obviously, they were wary of the coming of the Helian and Tianxia families.
"That's right." Helian Peng said casually.
Yunhe, Yunjiang, and Yunxi came down and sat in the center seat. Among the three, Yunhe was the most senior and the strongest. After taking his seat, he nodded slightly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start."
Yun Waitian stood up and was about to leap towards the Holy Cloud Platform. At this moment, a frivolous but slightly majestic voice came from above: "The Yun Family is really lively today. It's worth it for me to come here in person."
Yun Waitian stopped and looked up in disbelief. A young man dressed in silver, wearing a silver crown and holding a folding fan slowly appeared there. He looked to be in his early twenties, with a weak face, but his eyes were imposing and he exuded a kind of nobleness that seemed to be born with him. Even when facing the three great elders of the Yun family below, his imposing aura did not subside at all.
Behind him, another figure also emerged. This person was short and hunched, with dry yellow hair and grayish yellow clothes covered with dust. What caught people's attention most was his neck and hands... which were covered with dry yellow scale-like patterns... No, they were scales!
"Hui...Prince Kaguya! And Venerable Yanlong!" Yun Waitian exclaimed in shock. All the elders of the Yun family, including the three grand elders, also showed surprised expressions.
"Haha, you won't be surprised that I come here uninvited, right?" The young man said with a smile. His expression and voice were very peaceful, but every word he said made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, making it almost impossible for people to muster up the courage to confront him.
Another "uninvited guest". Compared to the Yun family today, there are indeed a lot of uninvited guests. The Mu family's arrival is normal, and the arrival of Tianxia and Helian is surprising, but it is only a little surprising... However, the arrival of this Huiye County King is something that no one can imagine.
By now, even a fool would have sensed that something was wrong.
“No… no,” Yun Waitian’s voice trembled slightly, showing his extreme shock and excitement. “Her Highness Kaguya has come to our Yun family in person. This is a blessing for our Yun family. How can we be surprised? I wonder… I wonder what instructions Her Highness Kaguya has for coming here in person? Our Yun family will definitely do its best to serve you.”
"No orders," Prince Huiye said with a smile, "I just heard that today is the day of your Yun family's clan competition. I happened to have nothing to do, so I came to watch. It seems that this clan competition has not officially started yet. That's great. I wonder if you can prepare a suitable seat for me and my followers to watch?"
"Of course... Prince Kaguya, please take a seat." Yun Waitian hurriedly directed him to his seat.
“Who is this person?” Yun Che asked. Yun Waitian was the eldest elder of the Yun family after all, but he was particularly respectful to this person and addressed him as “Your Highness”, which clearly showed that his identity was extraordinary.
"Prince Hyuga of the Illusionary Demon Clan." Yun Qinghong explained calmly, "The Illusionary Demon Clan has no princes, so the status of the prince is basically second only to the lineage of the Demon Emperor. If it was just an ordinary prince, Yun Wai Tian would not be like this. This Prince Hyuga has an extraordinary family background. He is one of the 'Seven Sons of Illusionary Demons' and ranks third. His elder brother is the leader of the Seven Sons of Illusionary Demons, and his father and grandfather are even more extraordinary. This faction, in the current Illusionary Demon Clan, has comprehensive strength and even reputation that almost overwhelms the Little Demon Queen! Even the Little Demon Queen finds it difficult to command them."
Yun Che frowned: “The Seven Illusionary Demons?”
"I know this." Yun Xiao said, "The Seven Illusionary Demons are the seven strongest young people in the Illusionary Demon Royal Family. Once they are included in the Seven Illusionary Demons, they will have a transcendent status in the royal family and will be cultivated with emphasis. Prince Huiye is ranked third and is a very powerful figure. I also heard that, except for the Little Demon Queen, their lineage of the Demon King is the purest in the entire Illusionary Demon Realm."
"That's right." Yun Qinghong nodded slowly: "The person following behind him is called 'Reverend Rock Dragon'. He has been the personal guardian of Prince Huiye since ten years ago. His true form is a hundred-foot real dragon, possessing the power of the earth, and is extremely powerful..." He narrowed his eyes slowly, and his eyes became low: "First it was Helian Peng, and now it's Prince Huiye... It seems that this time, it's going to be completely lively."
Yun Che frowned and slowly exhaled. In the past two months in Monster King City, he certainly couldn't completely understand the detailed structure of Monster King City. Even the people outside the Yun family didn't know much. He only knew the situation of the Yun family, the Illusory Demon Royal Family, and the basic situation of the other eleven guardian families.
He couldn't fathom how powerful the Illusionary Demon Clan was. But the appearance of Prince Hui Ye made him realize that what he was about to face was far more complicated, difficult, and dangerous than he had expected, but this would not change his decision.
The Little Demon Queen's Centennial Ceremony will be held in less than a month. If one wants to revive the prestige of the Yun Family, that will be the best stage. But before that, Yun Qinghong's position as the Patriarch must be protected no matter what. No one can take it away!
