“I was also worried that you would fall into the hands of Prince Ming and Prince Huai.” Yun Che said innocently.
The Little Demon Queen said angrily, "Since you already know it's Prince Ming... why did you still barge in! Your strength is no different from an ant in front of Prince Huai, let alone Prince Ming... Don't you care about your life at all!"
“…” Yun Che would have retaliated several times over if he had been scolded by someone normally, but at this moment, he simply could not get angry. Every word the Little Demon Queen spoke was filled with hatred, but none of this hatred was directed at him. In fact, in the voice of the Little Demon Queen scolding him, he heard more resentment and self-blame.
"You died because of me today... After I die, how can I face the Demon King... Ugh!!" The Little Demon Queen's body shook violently, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood again. Her already pale face turned even paler. She covered her chest, her body swayed slightly, and her whole body was shaky.
At this moment, she was like a frail girl who was seriously ill and on the verge of death. Even her eyes, which were usually as cold as an icy pond and people dared not look directly at them, had dimmed and even became increasingly distracted... Anyone who saw her at this moment no longer felt the domineering power of the Little Demon Queen, but deep heartache.
“Are you… okay?” Yun Che took a small step forward tentatively and asked worriedly.
"Her lifeline has been severed. She won't live long." Jasmine said calmly.
“What!?” Yun Che was shocked. “How is this possible! She was just hit by Ming Wang… Although Ming Wang is powerful, the Little Demon Queen also has the profound strength of a mid-stage Emperor. How is this possible…”
“Hmph, what do you think?” Jasmine snorted disdainfully. “When you reach the Sovereign Profound Realm, a small realm is a world of difference. And that Ming Wang is a full half a realm better than the Little Demon Queen! In addition, Ming Wang’s attack was ruthless. Even if he didn’t use 100% of his strength, he used at least 90%! In addition, the Little Demon Queen hastily stood in front of you. Not only did she not have time to resist with all her strength, she was also hit directly in the vitals… Not to mention that she can still survive for a while, it wouldn’t be surprising if she died on the spot!”
“…” Yun Che clenched his hands tightly, and his heart and soul trembled uncontrollably.
The power of Ming Wang was so terrifying. Even the powerful Little Demon Queen was severely injured by his attack... Even the Little Demon Queen was like this. If the Little Demon Queen had not taken the attack from Ming Wang for him, he would have died!
Huh… Yun Che’s heart twitched violently, and a certain place in the deepest part of his soul was touched fiercely, unable to stop in the violent trembling… Why did you block that for me… Yes, you don’t know that the thing that I, Yun Che, cannot bear the most in my life is to owe a woman my life…
Because that was the promise I made to Ling'er when she passed away in my arms, and the secret oath I made to my soul...
If the Little Demon Queen died, and I was able to escape, then my heart and soul would have another layer of shackles that I could never get rid of... How would I face Ling'er...
"What are you going to do next? Wait for death?"
“…I have never known what it means to wait for death.” Yun Che gritted his teeth and said, “My Great Dao Fu Tu Jue is already at the fourth level…If we can escape from here, even if her lifeline is severed, as long as she can hold on for ten days, I have a 60% chance of saving her life!”
“Yun Che, I want to ask you a question!” The Little Demon Queen suddenly spoke. Her voice was already very weak, but she still tried to maintain her dignity with a low tone: “Back then, the Demon King and the ten elders of the Yun family died in the Profound Sky Continent. Was it also the work of the Ming King?”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded and said, “Back then, the time when Grandpa and his team went there, as well as the location that the space passage pointed to, were all clearly informed to the Profound Sky Continent by King Ming… As soon as they arrived at the Profound Sky Continent, they fell directly into the Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation that had been prepared long ago… Otherwise, with the strength of my grandfather and the ten seniors of the Yun family, how could they have been completely wiped out like that?”
The Little Demon Queen released an extremely deep hatred, “What else did Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain tell you? What else did Ming Wang do?!”
“This…” Yun Che exhaled, and said, “Everything about King Ming was not actually known from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.”
“…Then how did you know that?” The Little Demon Queen frowned.
“It was speculation… and all these speculations have become reality.” Yun Che sighed.
"Three months ago, when I first came to the Illusory Demon Realm, based on what I saw and heard, as well as the situation in the Demon King City, the reasons and process of the invasion of the Profound Sky Continent, the unconventional behavior of the Little Demon King, and combined with what my grandfather told me about how he was ambushed as soon as he entered the Profound Sky Continent, I thought that there must be someone in the Demon King City who was colluding with the Profound Sky Continent, and it was 99% likely to be the Huai Palace."
"After I told my father and grandfather about this, my father mentioned that if this was true, then the ambition of the Huai Palace was not after the previous Demon King was killed, but before... Then, my father mentioned the name 'Ming Wang'. After a little sorting, all the doubts pointed to him... The Illusory Demon Realm has been in turmoil for many years, but he has completely disappeared during this period, which is a huge doubt in itself. And the fact is indeed so! The ambition of the Huai Prince and some of his actions are just a cover. The real conspiracy is a million times more terrifying than what the people in the Demon King City have seen."
What the people of the Demon King City saw was that the Demon King's bloodline was cut off by the Tianxuan Continent. As a woman, the Little Demon Queen could not awaken her bloodline, and there was no successor, so Prince Huai had ambitions and tried to win over forces to replace him. Although it was essentially a rebellion, in the eyes of the world, it was definitely not "angry to both humans and gods", and even many powerful people would agree with Prince Huai's actions - since the Demon King's bloodline had been cut off, there was only a Little Demon Queen left, and it was only a matter of time before his clan became the emperor. Prince Huai had enough ambition and ability, and even more power. If he became the emperor, it would be more acceptable to people than if a woman became the emperor.
Moreover, after the Little Demon Queen abdicated, the only one qualified to control the Illusory Demon Realm was the Huai Palace… So from another perspective, the Huai Palace’s move was just too hasty.
As a result, more than half of the guardian families and royal palaces that had been loyal to the Demon Emperor for thousands of years turned to the side of Prince Huai.
But the truth is that the Huai Palace colluded with external forces to murder the Demon King and the Little Demon King, severing the lineage of the Demon King who unified the Fantasy Demon Realm and brought peace to the world for ten thousand years! This is an act that destroys humanity, harms the world, and is infuriating to both humans and gods!
If the truth were known to the world, then even if those who guarded the families and the Huai Palace had ten thousand more courage, they would not dare to surrender to the Huai Palace.
The Huai Palace will also become the target of public criticism and the enemy of the world, and everyone will be angry and want to kill it.
However, although the Little Demon Queen and Yun Che now knew the horrible truth, even if they escaped from the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley today, there was no way they could make it public. This was because Ming Wang’s methods were extremely clever, and his series of vicious plots and murderous moves did not leave the slightest trace. The Demon King died in the Profound Sky Continent, the Little Demon King died in the Profound Sky Continent, and the Demon King also died in the Profound Sky Continent… Everything pointed to the Profound Sky Continent, not to Ming Wang.
If the truth is really made public, the Huai Palace will instead blame us.
Ming Wang is truly an extremely terrifying person.
If Yun Che had not met Yun Canghai by chance and destiny, and learned that he had been attacked as soon as he entered the Profound Sky Continent, then until now, he might not have known the truth... and still ignored the existence of the "Ming Wang".
The Little Demon Queen stared at Yun Che, a strange light flashing in the depths of her eyes: “Then how did you know that the Ming King, who had been hiding behind the scenes, would appear here? Did you guess that as well?”
“Yes, I guessed it.” Yun Che nodded. “When the situation was going well, you stopped the ceremony right after you got the Demon King Seal. The most reasonable explanation I can think of is that you wanted to awaken your bloodline right after getting the Demon King Seal, and then thought that you might have a way to forcibly open the seal of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. So you were worried that if the people in Huai Palace knew about it, they would definitely seize this great opportunity to kill you.”
"I have told my father and grandfather all this, but they are not worried. Because even if all this comes true, once you enter the Golden Crow Ancestral Land, even if King Ming takes action himself, he will not be able to do anything to you... Later, I couldn't let go of my speculation and worries, so I came to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley to confirm it myself. At the entrance, I didn't see the seal, but I saw Hui Ran from the Huai Palace. I knew that all my worries had come true!"
"I confirmed from Hui Ran that Prince Huai and the Prince Ming mentioned by my father have both entered the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. I also learned from Hui Ran that even if you go to the Golden Crow ancestral land, you are destined to not be able to awaken your bloodline... Your actions today only gave Prince Huai's Mansion a chance to kill you in vain. So, I couldn't wait for my father and the others to arrive, so I came in alone."
Yun Che lied a little, because he couldn’t say that he learned about the Little Demon Queen’s inability to awaken her bloodline from Jasmine.
“Your father was murdered by Ming Wang, but I didn’t know about it before. As for the fact that the little demon emperor was murdered by Ming Wang, I only thought of it after entering the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.” Yun Che said with a serious face, “My father and grandfather didn’t know that you had a way to force your way into the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, which means that this is a secret of the demon emperor family, but Ming Wang knows it clearly. Even you don’t know that women cannot bear the blood of the Golden Crow Ancestor, but Ming Wang clearly knows it.”
"The only people in this world who know more about the secrets of your demon clan than you are the former demon king and the young demon king. So the only possibility that comes to my mind is that a hundred years ago, the young demon king was murdered by the Ming King. When he was dying and his consciousness was scattered, the Ming King searched his soul and took away all his memories... and the Ming King's previous words undoubtedly confirmed this fact."
The Little Demon Queen's heart was shaken again.
Today, King Ming was clearly aware of her coming to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley and her failure to return. He even knew that the Demon King Seal could activate the "Blood Escape" in times of crisis...
This life-saving trump card is a secret that must not be known to anyone in any race...
But the Ming King knew it clearly.
Yun Che's words... the little demon emperor had been murdered by the Ming King and his soul had been searched... this guess, which made her feel so heartbroken and resentful that she almost suffocated... was simply the only explanation and possibility!
Once a person's soul is searched, he will be directly transformed into a body without a soul... a pitiful living dead...
“Hmm…” A stream of nearly pitch-black blood slowly flowed out from the corner of the Little Demon Queen’s mouth. That was not the blood from her internal injuries, but the blood from her heart’s pain and extreme anger… Over the years, she had always been vigilant and wary of the Prince Huai’s Mansion, but what she hated the most in her heart was the Profound Sky Continent. She even swore that when the time came, even if she died, she would massacre the Profound Sky Continent with blood to avenge her irreconcilable hatred.
Only today did she realize that she had hated the wrong person all these years.
Her father was a demon king who could summon a magical demon with one palm and make the whole world bow down to him. It turned out that what really killed him was not the Profound Sky Continent, but the conspiracy of the person he trusted the most! Her brother, who was also her husband, did not die tragically to save her father, but was also assassinated by a murderer... and his death was so miserable...
All she had seen over the years was an illusion, and the entire Illusory Demon Realm was also an illusion. Everyone, including her, the Little Demon Queen, was played around by the Ming King, and even the Four Sacred Places of the Profound Heaven Continent were ultimately just tools used by the Ming King.
“Ming…King…” The Little Demon Queen’s heart was filled with hatred. Her hands tightly grasped the gray clothes in front of her chest. Her clenched fingers were pale and bloodless as she trembled: “Ming…King…Ming…King…Even if I become a ghost…I will not…let…you…go…” Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
