The scene was suddenly in chaos. The guardian families and royal palaces that supported the Yun family, or more accurately, those that were still loyal to the Little Demon Queen, were outnumbered but not that weak. Moreover, they stood on the side of the Demon King's lineage, with their backs straight and their aura much stronger than those who had a guilty conscience or even felt guilty.
The Yun family, which was at the center of the chaos, remained calm throughout, especially the head of the family, Yun Qinghong, who sat there without saying a word from beginning to end.
But his silence did not mean that he did not speak. When the two sides were confronting each other, he had already sent messages to the Little Demon Queen Ning Xuan several times in a row.
"Little Demon Empress, please control your emotions. Now is definitely not the time for you to show up... and please do not forcefully protect our Yun family. Prince Huai and the others are hoping that you will do so."
"This matter will be completely handled by my Yun family!"
Yun Qinghong understood the Little Demon Queen's temper the best... Even he was beaten by the Little Demon Queen so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for a month. Her temperament changed drastically after she became the Little Demon Queen. In such a situation, with her personality, if Yun Qinghong hadn't sent a message to stop her in the first place, she would definitely have killed someone on the spot.
Just as Yun Qinghong was thinking about how to respond and was about to stand up, Prince Huai suddenly said with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient for a while. Regarding whether the Yun family can continue to stay in the Guardian Family, it is obvious that the majority of people support removing the Yun family from the Guardian Family."
"So what if there are a lot of people!" Mu Yubai said sternly, "Lord Huai, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand just because you have attracted enough people? Hey, a bunch of ungrateful people who have forgotten their ancestors and abandoned their clans, no matter how many times they there are, they are nothing but a pile of rubbish that people look down upon!"
Mu Yubai's words suddenly made the discussion in the hall louder. Mu Feiyan elbowed him and gave him a fierce look. Mu Yubai snorted coldly and turned his face away.
Prince Huai's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Brother Mu, I don't quite understand what you are saying, but what you said is true, numbers don't mean anything, after all, in our Illusory Demon Realm, in any world, it's not numbers that determine everything... it's strength!"
"What tricks are you trying to play!" Yan Zijing said vigilantly. They were not naive enough to think that the King of Huai was speaking for them when he said "large numbers don't mean anything". He must have a more sinister plot.
"My meaning is very simple. In terms of the number of supporters, we have nearly 30% more than you! But based on numbers alone, you will definitely not be convinced. There will definitely be many overlords from all over the world who will not be convinced. So, I will represent the side that supports driving the Yun family out of the Guardian Family and propose a more fair and just method that will make you more convinced... At the same time, it can be regarded as an opportunity given by me to the Yun family and you!"
"In previous Centennial Demon King ceremonies, each guardian family and royal palace had a tradition of performing on stage and showing off their strength. This is the first Centennial Demon Queen's ceremony, so naturally there must be more! How about this..." Prince Huai raised his hand and snapped his fingers with a smile: "We will each select twelve people to compete. Of course, the competition in the ceremonies in previous years has always come from the younger generation. After all, the strength of the younger generation determines the status of a force in the next hundred years, and this time will be no exception! The age range selected is under 35 years old!"
"If the final result is that we win by chance, then you should have nothing to say, right?" Prince Huai smiled.
"Good! Prince Huai has a good suggestion!" Prince Zhong exclaimed in praise.
"In terms of numbers, we have already won, but it will be more convincing if the result is decided by strength. I have no objection!" Helian Kuang echoed loudly.
Prince Huai's proposal made everyone in the East Seat smile playfully, while everyone in the West Seat's faces suddenly changed.
They all know very well that teachers are not only losing in quantity, but also at a huge disadvantage in "quality".
The East Seat has seven guardian families, and the top talent of the younger generation of each family will go to battle. There are seven people who are at the top of the younger generation in the entire Illusory Demon Realm. Helian Ba of the Helian family, Chiyang Yanwu of the Chiyang family, Bai Jie of the Bai family, Nangong Yan of the Nangong family, Lin Hanchuan of the Lin family, Jiufang Yu of the Jiufang family, Xiao Donglai of the Xiao family... all of them are figures who have long been famous in the entire Illusory Demon Realm!
On Dongxi's side, the only young people who are at the same level are Su Zhizhan from the Su family, Yan Chengkong from the Yan family, Tianxia Diliu from the Tianxia family, Mu Hengyi from the Mu family... The Yun family doesn't even have any young people who can reach this level, and the only one, Yun Xinyue, has died tragically.
In terms of strength, Su Zhizhan and Helian Ba are tied for first place among the younger generation of the twelve families, and are the only ones on the teacher's side who can hold the fort. However, the other two or three people, who are ranked sixth in the world, are at the fourth level of Tyrant Profound Realm, while Yan Chengkong and Mu Hengyi are both only at the third level of Tyrant Profound Realm.
The pride of the other seven families had a profound strength of at least the fourth level of Tyrant Profound Realm!
This is not the worst part.
The "Seven Sons of Illusionary Demons" symbolize the most powerful young generation in the entire Illusionary Demon Realm, and there are a total of five of them in the East Seat!
Add the seven geniuses from the seven guardian families, that’s twelve!
This is why King Huai proposed that each side select twelve people.
On the teacher's side, there are only two of the "Seven Sons of Phantom Demon".
And these two people... one is ranked sixth, and the first is ranked seventh.
All the heads of the families and the heads of the palaces of the Western Master gnashed their teeth. With such an exaggerated disparity in strength, how could the Western Master possibly win! The only possible outcome was not only defeat, but also a miserable defeat! The King of Huai rejected his numerical advantage, which seemed to be giving the Yun family an "opportunity" in name, but his real purpose was clearly to expel the Yun family and, in front of the world, severely defeat all the families and palaces that did not stand on his side. It was extremely sinister.
"As for the rules, although it is different from the simple competition in previous years, it is also very simple." Prince Huai admired the faces of the people in the West Hall and continued with a smile: "The two sides fight one-on-one. The loser leaves the field, and the winner stays until they are defeated by the other side. In this way, until one side is completely defeated and there are still people on the other side standing on the field, then the winner will naturally be determined. In this way, not only can the winner be determined in the most fair way, but the difference in strength between the two sides can also be clearly seen at a glance. If there is only one person left in the final battle, it means that the strength of each other is equal. If one side is completely defeated, but there are still many people on the other side who have not had time to appear on the field... Tsk tsk, that would be extremely embarrassing. Do you... dare to accept it?"
The rule proposed by Prince Huai made the faces of the teachers change again and they felt cold in their hearts.
If it is a one-on-one match, with twelve people fighting each other twelve times and the winner is determined by the number of wins, then in a staggered match, if the teacher is extremely lucky, there is still a slight hope of winning or even a draw.
But even though the Prince of Huai County was so confident that there was no chance of failure, he still chose this kind of elimination-style competition. It must be said that he was extremely cautious, because this method was indeed the fairest, and it completely eliminated the possibility of the Western Master winning. The difference in strength could also be clearly demonstrated through the number of people on his side who did not play, thus completely humiliating the opponent.
The heads of the Xixi families all had gloomy faces and gnashed their teeth... This battle must not be accepted! If you accept it, you will definitely lose, and you will be severely beaten!
Even though retreating would mean a loss of momentum, we absolutely could not accept it.
Tianxia Xiongtu, who had always been unwilling to get involved in the fight, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said with a sullen face: "Prince Huai, don't forget your identity! Your power is not big enough to decide the fate of our Guardian Family! So what if you win? Why should the Yun Family leave the Guardian Family just because you win!"
"That's a good question, patriarch!" Prince Huai narrowed his eyes, his slits as narrow as swords: "Then I will give you the most clear answer: because if we win, it proves that we are stronger than you! Between heaven and earth, strength is everything! The stronger your strength, the more power you have to speak and control! As a strong person, you have the right to decide everything, while the weak do not even have the right to refuse the decision of the strong! This is true in any world or at any level!"
"Are the family heads of the world satisfied with this answer?"
Every word that King Huai said was filled with his ambition. As things got to this point, more and more people had already sensed something unusual. The strong are respected, this is indeed the most basic law of survival in the world. There are so many people who practice Xuan in the world, who doesn't pursue a stronger power, who doesn't want to be the most respected person!
The profound power of the King of Huai himself should not be underestimated, and his subordinates possessed the power to overthrow the world. He spoke these words with full confidence and arrogance, leaving Tianxia's ambition speechless for a moment.
“Yun Qinghong, this matter was caused by your Yun family. Its outcome also determines the fate of your Yun family. Don’t you even have the courage to express your opinion?” Prince Huai turned his gaze to Yun Qinghong who had been silent the whole time: “Just tell me directly, do you accept this extremely fair competition or not?”
“Brother-in-law, you absolutely cannot answer this call! The only one who can give orders and decide the fate of your Yun Family is the Little Demon Queen. You don’t need to pay any attention to those villains!” Mu Yubai said in a deep voice.
Mu Yubai’s words were also what all the teachers were thinking. But just as he finished speaking, Yun Che stood up before Yun Qinghong and shouted, “Take it! You must take it! Who else can our Yun family be afraid of!”
“Nonsense!!”
Mu Feiyan's beard was curled up: "This is a family matter, what nonsense are you, a junior, talking about! Qinghong, Yubai is right, your Yun family does not need to care about this matter at all, I wonder who dares to deprive your Yun family of the title of guardian of the family!"
