“Yun Qinghong, where did this so-called son of yours come from?” Prince Huai shouted in a deep voice.
Yun Qinghong snorted, "This is Yun's family affair. There is no need to explain it to you, Prince Huai. It doesn't matter if you don't believe that he is Yun's son. This is your freedom. But my son Yun Che has clearly demonstrated his profound power, proving that he is a genuine member of the Yun family! Then, he is naturally qualified to represent my Yun family in the battle!"
"The reason why you, the King of Huai, refuse to accept the result of the defeat no longer exists!"
“In this battle, all twelve of your men were defeated, and our Yun Che stood to the end. In this duel that determined the fate of our Yun family, we have already won! The victory was thrilling, but it was also a well-deserved and fair victory!”
Yun Qinghong's face was calm, but his eyes were like an eagle, and every word he said was heart-shaking. He didn't say a word, but the faces of the people from the opposite families and palaces would darken. Yun Qinghong glanced at the other party and said lightly: "According to the pre-match agreement, if we win, our Yun family will continue to retain the name of the guardian family, and you seven major families and sixty palaces are no longer allowed to mention expelling our Yun family! In addition, the seven major families of Helian, Jiufang, Chiyang, Nangong, Xiao Family, Bai Family, and Lin Family must each give our Yun family five kilograms of purple vein crystals within one month."
"And you, the Prince of Huai, must hand over 20 kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal to my Yun Family within one month!"
"This is what we agreed on before the game, and you promised it yourself!"
"The Little Demon Queen can testify to this, and so can all the heroes of the world!"
"Do you have any objections to this result... Of course, legitimate objections?"
Yun Qinghong's words made the faces of the people from the seven major families look extremely ugly. They still couldn't accept the huge gap from being the absolute strong side to being stepped on by others. The face of the Huai County King was ashen, and he didn't say anything for a long time. In the dark, he was transmitting sound to more than a dozen people at the same time with the condensed sound.
The Little Demon Empress looked around the hall and said slowly, "The Demon King Ceremony is held every hundred years. Every time, a fight between a dragon and a tiger takes place, but there has never been one as exciting as this one."
The Little Demon Queen frowned slightly, and her voice was slightly cold, “I should not have stripped the Yun Family of their title of guardian! This result is a blessing for the Yun Family, and it is in line with my wishes. Yun Che is still young, but he is extremely talented, has amazing strength, and is bold and courageous. His performance today was even more stunning! His background is not important, and since he is the son of the Yun Family Master, it is a blessing for the Yun Family, and it is also a blessing for our Illusionary Demon Clan! He will definitely be a pillar of our Illusionary Demon Clan in the future!”
"Where is King Baoqing?"
Beside the teacher, a man with an indifferent expression and simple clothes walked forward slowly and said respectfully, "Please give your orders, Little Demon Queen."
Although this Baoqing Wang is also a county prince, his clothes and demeanor are not noble at all. When he walks, he exudes a strong medicinal fragrance. Baoqing Wangfu is a special existence among the princes' palaces, because its ability and responsibility lies in refining elixirs and medicines. It has always only obeyed the orders of the Demon King. Most of the miraculous elixirs and medicines that are famous among the phantom demons come from Baoqing Wangfu. The core parts of the resources distributed to the major guardian families and princes' palaces every year also mostly come from Baoqing Wangfu.
The people in Baoqing Palace have always been devoted to refining medicine, and Xuanli is only a secondary practice. Therefore, they are all pure-hearted and indifferent, without any greed or ambition. Therefore, even if Prince Huai dreams of making Baoqing Palace surrender, he has never rashly tried to win them over.
“Have you successfully prepared the Overlord Pill this time?” the Little Demon Queen asked coldly.
As soon as the three words "Overlord Pill" came out, even the people from the major guardian families and the royal palace changed their expressions, and those who came from outside the Demon King City all had their eyes widened instantly, and their expressions were as if they had heard the name of a magical pill from outer space.
Prince Baoqing bowed his head and said, "To the Little Demon Queen, three months ago, the Overlord Pill was already refined and is 90% perfect. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
“Very good.” The Little Demon Queen nodded: “This time, the Overlord Pill will be given to Yun Che of the Yun Family. I believe that everyone will have no objection to this.”
"Yes. Yun Che is a man of rare talent, and he is the son of the head of the Yun family, the future head of the Yun family. Although he has just returned to the Yun family, he is exceptionally talented, which makes us elders admire him. He will definitely be a pillar of the Illusory Demons in the future. It is most appropriate to give this Overlord Pill to Yun Che." Bao Qing Wang responded respectfully. Obviously, he and the Little Demon Queen had exactly the same idea.
With Yun Che’s performance today and the identity acknowledged by Yun Qinghong himself, the Overlord Pill’s destination was well-deserved. Everyone in the hall was extremely envious, but they also knew that Yun Che was definitely the most qualified person to obtain it.
The words of the Little Demon Queen made the faces of the people from the Seven Eastern Seat Families and the various royal palaces look even uglier... The preciousness of the Overlord Pill was known to everyone in the world. It was extremely difficult to refine, and it took the Baoqing Royal Palace an average of fifty years to refine one pill, and its effect was naturally even more powerful... If a profound practitioner reached the peak of the Profound King Realm, he only needed to take a Overlord Pill to directly break through the bottleneck of the Profound King Realm and easily become the Overlord!
This is why it is called "Ba Huang Dan".
For the profound masters at or above the Overlord level, the Overlord Pill has no significant effect, and only slightly increases the profound strength. But for those below the Overlord level, it is truly no less than a "Heavenly Pill". Whether it is the Profound Heaven Continent or the Illusory Demon Realm, there are many Throne masters, but ninety-nine percent of these Throne masters can only stay at the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm throughout their lives, and cannot break through to the Overlord level. And if one has a Overlord Pill, one can instantly rise to prominence and be reborn.
The level of profound strength in the Demon King City is extremely high, and there are countless strong people, especially in the seven guardian families and the various royal palaces. It is not uncommon for Overlords to become Overlords. But it does not mean that they can successfully break through to the Overlord Profound Realm after reaching the peak of the Overlord Profound Realm. With the assistance of multiple powerful emperors, the bottlenecks of the Heavenly Profound Realm and the Overlord Profound Realm can be easily broken through, but the emperors are powerless to break through the bottleneck from the Overlord Profound Realm to the Overlord Profound Realm. Those with extremely high talents will be stuck for several years, some for more than ten years, decades... or even a lifetime.
The guardian families and the various royal palaces all have their own secret struggles and rankings. If they get a Overlord Pill, the next generation that is carefully cultivated can directly break through to Overlord after reaching the peak of Wangxuan, and be one realm ahead of their peers with similar talents... The strength of Hui Ran County Prince of Huai Palace is so terrifying, one of the reasons is that he has a very high talent, and another important reason is that he took a Overlord Pill when his Xuanli reached the peak of Tianxuan. He is also the only one among all the young generations of the guardian families and royal palaces who has taken the Overlord Pill... So until now, no one of the same generation can defeat him.
Therefore, even in the eyes of the guardian family and the royal palace, the Overlord Pill is still a priceless treasure.
In every Demon King Palace, there will be a Overlord Pill... and only one Overlord Pill is given out. Whichever force can obtain it will surely produce a figure in the next generation who will surpass most, or even all, of their peers.
Yun Che only had the profound strength of the peak of the Sky Profound Realm, but his strength was already shocking. If he could obtain the Overlord Pill, he would be able to break through to the Overlord Realm without any obstacles in the future. It was simply unimaginable how powerful he would become.
Everyone in the Yun family was overjoyed. Mu Feiyan burst into laughter. Mu Yurou said happily, "Che'er, why don't you thank the Little Demon Queen for her grace?"
“Yes.” Yun Che smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to turn around, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded: “Wait! This Overlord Pill must not be given to Yun Che! He is not qualified to receive this reward at all.”
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the source of the voice. The person who spoke had already stood up with a serious expression on his face. It was the head of the Jiufang family... Jiufang Kui!
“Jiufang Kui, what do you mean!” Yun Duanshui, who was about to happily watch Yun Che receive the Overlord Pill as a reward, suddenly became furious. He didn’t care about who the Jiufang Patriarch was and just roared at him.
"Humph!" Jiufang Kui snorted coldly: "I say...you Yun family kid, you are not qualified to receive this reward."
"Bullshit!" Yun Duanshui said angrily, "My Yun family's young master is not qualified... Could it be that your Jiufang family's young master is qualified?"
Yun Duanshui's address to Yun Che had been upgraded to "Young Master". As for the Young Master of the Jiufang Family, he was referring to Jiufang Yu. Jiufang Yu was hit by Yun Che's punch and his seven orifices were bleeding. Everyone in the audience witnessed it with their own eyes. Yun Duanshui's words were undoubtedly a merciless irony.
As expected, Jiufang Kui’s face twitched slightly. He simply ignored Yun Duanshui and bowed to the Little Demon Queen, saying, “It takes fifty years to obtain a Overlord Pill, which can make a person an Overlord. How can such a precious thing be given to the Yun family... Please, Little Demon Queen, please take back your order!”
The Little Demon Queen stared coldly: "Reason."
Before Jiufang Kui could answer, Xiao Xifeng, the head of the Xiao family, stood up and said loudly: "What I think in my heart is exactly the same as the head of the Jiufang family! The reason is even simpler. Yun Che is indeed a very talented boy, and I have no doubts about his identity as the son of Yun Qinghong. However, Yun Che has only appeared in our Demon King City for three months. Where did he come from, where has he been for the past twenty years, and why Yun Qinghong hid him for more than twenty years, we have no idea! In the final analysis, even if he has the blood of the Yun family, he is a person whose roots are unknown. How can we ignore the young genius and prince who have always been around the Little Demon Queen just because of the talent he showed today?"
“And this is only secondary…” Xiao Xifeng said with a look of grief and indignation, “Little Demon Queen, have you completely forgotten the Yun Family’s heinous crimes?”
“The Yun family’s sin, it’s the Yun family’s sin again!” The Little Demon Queen knitted her brows tightly together, “In the past hundred years, I have heard these four words from you guys thousands of times. Now, a hundred years have passed, and you are still holding on to it!”
“Little Demon Queen, it’s not that we are holding on to them, it’s that the Yun family’s crimes are too serious… They are simply unforgivable!” Bai Yi, the head of the Bai family, also jumped out and said loudly, “We were defeated this time, and ultimately we were unable to expel the unforgivable Yun family from the Guardian Family. It’s our incompetence, and we have nothing to say. However, allowing the Yun family to continue to stay is already extremely unreasonable, and it is also the Little Demon Queen’s supreme grace to the Yun family. But rewarding the Overlord Pill to such a sinful family… This is really unacceptable. Not only can we not accept it, even the people of the world will definitely not accept it.”
“Patriarch Bai is so impressive that he can represent the whole world!” Yun Waitian sneered. After the smile, he was filled with anger. “After enduring for so many years, today you finally couldn’t help but reveal your true colors! Starting from today’s ceremony, every word you say is against my Yun Family, and every step you take is eager to put my Yun Family to death! Now that my Young Patriarch has received the gift from the Little Demon Queen, you are clearly jealous, yet you shamelessly speak so high-soundingly! Humph… A hundred years ago, rumors were everywhere in the Illusory Demon Realm that my Yun Family had committed a heinous crime and that it would not be enough to pacify the world without severe punishment. We suspected that someone must have maliciously spread the rumors… Now it seems that it must have been done by you, the seven major families… Do you dare to admit it!!”
"What are you afraid to admit?" Chiyang Bailie stood up and said coldly, "That's right! A hundred years ago, it was indeed our seven families who united to tell the world about the Yun family's crimes. Because the Little Demon Queen had just ascended the throne at that time, she looked cold but had a kind heart, and could not bear to severely punish the Yun family. But if the Yun family is not severely punished for such a serious crime, all the illusionary demons who are loyal to the Demon Emperor will surely be indignant and chaos will arise in the long run! Even the Little Demon Queen will be involved in the whirlpool of public opinion. As the guardian family, we have no choice but to take this last resort after trying to persuade the Little Demon Queen to no avail for the sake of her reputation and to stabilize her throne."
“We do this for the Little Demon Queen and for the stability of the entire Demon Emperor Realm! Even if we are called despicable by some people, we have a clear conscience and no regrets! Why shouldn’t we dare to admit it?” Nangong Family Head Nangong Zhi said solemnly.
“What a clear conscience! What a person who has no regrets! What a person who has done this all for the Little Demon Queen and the Illusory Demon Realm!” Yun Duanshui’s voice was trembling. “Don’t you feel ashamed when you say these words?”
"Shame? Why should we be ashamed?" Helian Kuang stood up and said in a cold voice: "Don't you know why our seven families and the princes' palaces are targeting your Yun family? Our twelve families have been of the same blood for thousands of years. Even if there are small grievances, there has never been a big hatred. If it weren't for the fact that your Yun family's crimes were so heinous, why would we be willing to waste so much time and energy!"
Lin Guiyan, the head of the Lin family, followed up with a roar: "Your Yun family lost the most important Demon Emperor Seal of the Demon Emperor Clan, making it impossible for the Little Demon Emperor to truly inherit the throne of the Demon Emperor. Otherwise, how could he have lost his mind in grief and anger and went to the Profound Sky Continent alone, thus dying and causing the lineage of the Demon Emperor to be cut off from then on! Although the Little Demon Queen has succeeded to the throne, she cannot truly awaken her bloodline power because she does not have the Demon Emperor Seal, and she has to endure the pain of the Golden Crow's violent flames from time to time... And after the Little Demon Queen, there will be no more Demon Emperors! All of this is thanks to your Yun family!!"
"The lineage of the Demon King has existed for ten thousand years, but was completely destroyed by your Yun family! The fact that you are still able to retain the title of guardian is all due to the grace of the Little Demon Queen! How dare you accuse others of shame, and how dare you accept the reward of the 'Overlord Pill'!"
