Illusory Demon Realm, north of Demon King City, entrance to Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.
The long-silent Guardian Mysterious Array suddenly flashed with a red-gold light, and then began to slowly rotate. Two figures also appeared under the brilliance of the Golden Crow Mysterious Array.
“Finally out.” Yun Che took a deep breath of the no longer scorching air. It had only been three short months, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
Next to him stood a girl who was only as tall as his shoulders, dressed in gray, and petite. She looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with a beautiful face that could make the sun and the moon pale in comparison, and the world pale in comparison. However, her expression and eyes were filled with endless indifference, and there was hardly a trace of emotion that belonged to a living being. The most striking thing was the flashing of a red-gold flame mark between her eyebrows.
The demon king who awakened the Golden Crow bloodline would have a Golden Crow mark between his brows, which symbolized his identity. The Golden Crow mark of previous demon kings was light gold, and could be hidden at any time...but the mark on her brow was a blazing red gold, and could never be hidden.
Because this mark was burning her life. When the mark disappeared, her life would end.
Her entire aura had also undergone a drastic change. Originally, her aura gave Yun Che an extremely heavy sense of oppression. But at this moment, she was clearly right beside him, only one step away, but with Yun Che's spiritual perception, he could not detect her presence at all...
Yun Che vaguely knew what these feelings meant. The Little Demon Queen beside him was so powerful that she might have broken through the boundaries of this world... so powerful that it was unreal.
“There’s actually no one here. This is a bit unusual.” Yun Che looked around. There was no one in sight, nor any breath of any living creature. He pondered and said, “Could it be that something big is going on in the Demon King City?”
“Um… Little Demon Queen, what level have you reached with your Golden Crow Record of Burning Worlds?” Yun Che turned around. Although his relationship with the Little Demon Queen was no longer the same as it was in the past, the aura that came from her that seemed to be almost ethereal made him feel suffocated uncontrollably when facing her.
“Third level.” The Little Demon Queen looked straight ahead, her voice as calm and indifferent as water, without any ripples.
“Oh… I reached the seventh realm half a month ago.” Yun Che said in a serious and calm manner… At the same time, he quickly glanced away, waiting to see the shock, amazement… well, even admiration on the Little Demon Queen’s face.
But what disappointed him was that the Little Demon Queen's expression did not show even the slightest fluctuation. Her gray eyes still looked in the direction of Demon King City without any waves, no joy or sadness... She did not even show the slightest response.
Although, he had the super cheat of the Evil God's Bloodline, it was not a big deal for him to reach the seventh level in less than two months.
“…” When the Little Demon Queen’s bloodline fully awakened and she walked out of the Golden Crow Secret Realm, he sensed a huge change in her aura… No, this change might have happened even earlier… Perhaps, it was the moment she forcefully pushed him to the ground…
Out of her obsession with revenge and her desire for power, she seemed to have annihilated everything she had...including her emotions and her life.
She had obtained the power she longed for, but her emotions had also been frozen, and even her life was slipping away quickly... She stood there quietly, without a sound, like the most beautiful and lifelike rag doll.
Just as Yun Che was desperately trying to tease her, a gray shadow flashed in the corner of his eyes, and the Little Demon Queen instantly disappeared a hundred feet away.
“Ah…wait for me!!”
Yun Che immediately used the Illusion Lightning Extreme and used all his strength to chase after him. After obtaining the Golden Crow bloodline, the Heretic God's Thunder Seed, cultivating the Golden Crow's World Burning Record, and continuously absorbing the powerful flame power of the Death Sea of Fire for several months, Yun Che's current profound strength has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to four months ago.
At this moment, his purgatory was open, and his Wang Xuan aura was surging. He exerted a speed several times faster than before... but he was still left further and further behind by the Little Demon Queen. Fortunately, after a while, the Little Demon Queen slowed down, and Yun Che finally managed to catch up with her. Looking at her slender back, Yun Che sighed silently in his heart. It has been four months since he entered the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley and finally left today. Four months is enough time for many things to happen. She must be extremely worried about the current situation of the Demon King City...
Just like him, he has been worried about his parents, Xiao Yun, and whether the entire Yun family and Mu family are still safe...
She only has three years left to live...
Three years...
——————————
Just as Yun Che had guessed, a big event was indeed taking place in the Demon King City today.
Because today is the day when Prince Huai... ascends the throne to become emperor!
Four months ago, all the heroes from all over the world who came to Demon King City to attend the Demon Queen Ceremony were still in Demon King City and never left. Because after the Demon Queen Ceremony was suddenly interrupted, they did not wait for the continuation of the ceremony, but instead received the shocking news that the Little Demon Queen had been buried in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. They waited for a month, but still had no news about the Little Demon Queen, which also shattered the last bit of luck and hope of those who had always been unwilling to believe.
For a time, the imperial city was shaken, and the whole world was in mourning. Even though the body of the Little Demon Queen had not been found, the funeral ceremony for the Demon King... or the last Demon King of the Illusory Demon Realm had to be held. The funeral ceremony for the Little Demon Queen lasted for a whole month, and the question after that was, who would be the Illusory Demon King after the Little Demon Queen?
After all, if there is no one to rule as emperor, the world will be in chaos in the long run.
But with the "death" of the Little Demon Queen, there is no longer any successor to the lineage of the Demon King in the world. The closest bloodline is only the Illusionary Demon Royal Family. And among the Illusionary Demon Royal Family, the most prestigious, powerful, and qualified person... is undoubtedly the Huai Prince of the Huai Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, in the months after the Little Demon Queen's "burial", all matters of great and small importance in Demon Emperor City were presided over by the Huai Palace. Even the Little Demon Queen's funeral ceremony was organized by the Huai Palace.
In four months, the power of the Huai Palace spread to the entire Monster King City at a frighteningly rapid speed, and almost all areas were completely under the control of the Huai Palace. Many years ago, the people of Monster King City knew that the forces loyal to the Huai Palace had surpassed the Little Demon Queen, and this time the Huai Palace really showed its fangs, and people really knew how powerful the Huai Palace had become...
With the news of the Little Demon Queen's death, all the originally wavering forces rushed to surrender to the Huai Palace, fearing that they would be a step too late. Some forces that were originally loyal to the Demon King also chose to surrender to the Huai Palace in order to protect themselves. And those who were loyal to the Huai Palace before were even more grateful and proud to the extreme.
The forces that are still loyal to the "extinct" Demon King are extremely few... and they are even being shunned, isolated, and even hostile by more and more forces.
Two months ago, the cry of "The Illusory Demon Realm cannot be without a monarch for a day" resounded throughout the Demon King City, and then spread to the entire Demon World at a very fast speed. The loyalty and good reputation of Prince Huai were spread all over the Demon World, and more than 90% of the forces in the Demon King City declared their support for Prince Huai to be the emperor. For a time, the voices of "Prince Huai" were heard from all corners of the Demon World. He was simply praised as the first saint of the world, the only choice for the new monarch of the Demon World, and the great new monarch who could make the Demon World better than the Demon King era... At the same time, he was the person who currently had the blood closest to the Demon King clan!
Today, if anyone still opposes Prince Huai becoming emperor, he would be committing a great crime against the world.
The Demon King's Palace was packed with people. The scene was so grand that it even surpassed the Demon Queen's Ceremony four months ago. The city lords, domain lords, clan lords, and heroes from all over the Illusory Demon Realm could never have dreamed that they had only come to the Demon King City to attend the Demon Queen's Ceremony, but stayed there for four months and experienced the ups and downs of the little Demon Queen's burial and the new emperor's enthronement.
All the heroes in the world gathered in the Demon King Hall. Each of them was the backbone of the Illusory Demon Realm and was enough to represent the entire Illusory Demon Realm. Today, at the hour of Si, the new emperor would be crowned and the King of Huai would ascend the throne. At this time, there was less than a quarter of an hour left, and the coronation ceremony was just around the corner.
The guardian families and the various royal palaces were still in the most central position of the hall, and the seating arrangement was exactly the same as it was four months ago. The Yun family and the Mu family were also among them.
Yun Qinghong sat at the head of the Yun family's table, his face unusually calm. Mu Yurou sat beside him, their hands tightly clasped together, never loosening. Compared to the endless noise in the Demon King's Hall, the entire Yun family's table and the adjacent Mu family's table were dead silent. For a full half hour, no one spoke.
"We have arrived at the Huai…Prince…Mansion!"
Following a long, sharp cry, the Demon King's Hall suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were cast towards the door of the hall.
The red-gold door was slowly pushed open, and the Prince of Huai, dressed in light golden clothes, slowly stepped into the Demon King's Hall, surrounded by the people of the Prince of Huai's Mansion like stars surrounding the moon. He was calm and smiling, and there was an invisible majesty between his relaxed brows... His whole body was full of the majesty of an emperor.
Without the Little Demon Queen, he had become the Emperor of the Illusionary Demons.
"Welcome Emperor Huai!!"
A loud shout came from the core seat, and the head of the Helian family, Helian Kuang, stood up, knelt on both knees, and prostrated himself on the ground. His posture was extremely respectful and humble... When the former Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Empress were in power, he had never performed such a prostrate ceremony.
This loud shout also woke everyone up from their dreams. For a moment, everyone in the hall hurriedly left their seats and knelt on the ground, bowing to greet him:
"Welcome Emperor Huai!!"
The shouts of nearly 100,000 top masters of the Illusory Demon Realm shook the entire Demon King Hall for a long time. King Huai's eyes swept across the hall leisurely, remembering all those people and forces who did not kneel to greet him, then slowly raised his head and said humbly: "Everyone, please stand up. Although I have won your love and been nominated as the new king of the Illusory Demon Realm, the coronation ceremony has not yet been held. I cannot be called 'Emperor Huai', let alone such a great respect."
"How dare you... Emperor Huai is wrong!" Zhong Wang bowed his hands and said loudly, "Emperor Huai is the new emperor of our Illusionary Demon Realm. He is the popular choice and the world's expectation. How can this be a 'mistaken love'? After the death of the Little Demon Queen, Emperor Huai has maintained order in the world, quelled the chaos in the world, and reassured the people of the world. If it weren't for Emperor Huai's wisdom and virtue, the Demon King City and even the entire Illusionary Demon Realm would have been in chaos by now. In our hearts, even though the coronation ceremony has not yet taken place, you have already become the emperor that we will follow and be loyal to for the rest of our lives. Today's coronation... Please forgive my nonsense, it's just a formality to announce it to the world!"
"That's right! Prince Zhong is absolutely right!"
"What Prince Zhong said is exactly what I think in my heart!"
"Emperor Huai has unified the phantom demons and will live as long as the heavens!"
"We will swear allegiance to Emperor Huai until death!!"
………………
The coronation ceremony for the new emperor has not yet begun, and the prince of Huai has just appeared, but the voices of loyalty have already filled the entire Demon King Hall. This undoubtedly shows how amazing the strength and deterrence the prince of Huai has shown after the death of the little demon queen... No one doubts that there is nothing in the Illusory Demon Realm that can stop the prince of Huai from becoming the emperor. Pledging allegiance to the prince of Huai is the wisest and only choice.
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.
“Hahahaha.” Prince Huai lowered his arms, laughed loudly, and said no more words. He strode towards the emperor’s throne at the end of the hall. When passing by the Yun family’s seats, the corner of his eyes casually swept over Yun Qinghong, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.
During these four months, before he officially became emperor, it was naturally not easy for him to be ruthless to the Yun family, who were the guardian family.
But after today, anyone can imagine that the first target that the Huai King will target is the Yun family! By then, the Yun family will be greatly weakened at best, or even destroyed at worst!
Yun Qinghong did not bow to the Huai King, and neither did the entire Yun family. He looked at the Huai King and everything in the hall with a cold expression, his face and eyes were cold and indifferent without a single fluctuation. From the moment the Huai King entered to the moment he sat on the throne, his only action was to tighten his grip on Mu Yurou's hand.
Mu Yurou also held his hand even tighter, and their minds as a couple had long been closely connected.
It was impossible to stop the Prince of Huai from becoming the emperor... Even if they sacrificed the lives of all the people in the Yun family, they couldn't stop it. But, the man who killed the Little Demon Queen and their son... How could they let him get his wish so easily?
The couple came here today not for the Demon King clan, not for the dignity and will of the Yun family... but as parents, they were ready to use their lives to redeem the blood debt of their son who had been lost and found, who had made them miss, owe, feel happy, proud, and sad... !
