Yun Qinghong's angry rebuke was filled with an extremely astonishing momentum. With every word he spoke, everyone present felt an almost suffocating pressure. The entire Yun family, from the elders to the young disciples, were all stunned. Even Yun Xiao opened his mouth wide, looking at Yun Qinghong with an unbelievable look... The father he knew was an elegant and quiet person. On weekdays, he didn't talk much, was unwilling to interact with others, and rarely even left his yard. He was almost in a state of not competing with the world.
He couldn't believe that his father would speak such harsh words to the distinguished Prince Kaguya with such tyranny.
Yun Qinghong's scolding was something that the Huiye County King could never have imagined. Yun Qinghong was clearly a useless person, but facing his gaze at this moment, as a county king, he actually felt a deep sense of palpitation. As a county king, he had never been scolded like this in public before. He pointed at Yun Qinghong and his voice was slightly trembling: "Yun Qinghong, you..."
“How dare you!” Yun Qinghong’s voice became even deeper, and he interrupted Prince Huiye’s words directly: “Did you call me ‘Yun Qinghong’? I, Yun Qinghong, became famous in Monster King City when I was fourteen years old. At that time, even your father was not born yet, and even the Little Monster King called me his brother. Who do you think you are? How dare you call me by my name! You have no respect for your elders, no manners, no upbringing, and you are so arrogant. You are so ignorant that you have brought shame to your father and grandfather, and you have brought shame to the entire Illusionary Monster Royal Family because of you! This family head is too lazy to teach such a bad son, hum.”
“You…” Prince Huiye’s body shook, his eyes went dark, and he almost vomited blood. When he, Prince Huiye, arrived at the Yun family, the elder bowed to greet him, everyone looked at him in awe, everyone agreed with what he said, and no one dared to disobey, how majestic he was. As for the head of the family, Yun Qinghong… a useless man, he was too lazy to even look at him, but now, he was scolded by this useless head of the family in public, and every word of the scolding made him unable to refute.
The scene was dead silent. The sound of Yun Qinghong scolding Prince Huiye was still ringing in people's ears. His words also awakened the elders' memories of Yun Qinghong... He was the son of the Demon King. His talent was higher than the Demon King's. Among his peers, including the Illusionary Demon King family, no one could match him. He was famous in the Demon King City at the age of fourteen. This was a fact known to all the elders. He and the Little Demon King were brothers, and there was no falsehood. At that time, no one doubted that Yun Qinghong would be the second Demon King after Yun Canghai.
After more than 20 years of silence, people seemed to have forgotten what a figure Yun Qinghong once was. But even though he was crippled, his former glory could not be erased. His title of the youngest emperor in the Illusory Demon Realm had never been taken away, and his once dazzling brilliance had never been surpassed.
When Yun Qinghong was the same age as Prince Kaguya, Prince Kaguya was not even qualified to be compared with him for his achievements.
When these memories were awakened, the elders suddenly felt that it was ridiculous for Prince Huiye to be so rude and presumptuous in front of Yun Qinghong.
"The Patriarch... this is our Patriarch!" An elder stood up excitedly: "Is the Patriarch... coming back?"
He couldn't continue his excitement as he was grabbed by the person next to him and pulled back to his seat. The other person shook his head at him solemnly... His expression suddenly tensed up and he quickly suppressed his emotions and calmed down.
Among the core elders and ordinary elders, a large number of them showed surprise and excitement on their faces, but they quickly concealed it. In the noisy and chaotic atmosphere, no one noticed this. Yun Che happened to be facing the elders' table, and he noticed the brief changes in the expressions of some people at the table. He fixed his eyes, and deep surprise flashed across his eyes.
Could it be that...
After Yun Qinghong scolded him, he snorted coldly and ignored Prince Huiye. He frowned and looked at Yun Xinyue, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and said, "Yun Xinyue, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go up immediately and prepare to accept the Xuan Gang Soul Capture."
Yun Qinghong's sudden outburst caught Yun Waitian off guard. Upon hearing Yun Qinghong's words, he glared and said quickly: "Yun Qinghong, you...don't go too far!"
"Excessive? What's excessive about it?" Yun Qinghong said calmly.
Yun Waitian said without giving in: "I have made it very clear before, Xinyue must not accept the Xuan Gang Soul Capture, otherwise, my Yun family will become the laughing stock of the entire Illusory Demon Realm! In order to protect your adopted son, are you going to disregard our family's reputation?"
Yun Qinghong's eyes were calm, but as he stared at him, Yun Waitian actually felt a sense of shortness of breath... Faintly, he seemed to feel that the former Yun Qinghong, the former head of the Yun family, had returned after twenty-two years of silence.
“If it were just the words of an outsider, there would be no reason to accept Xuan Gang’s soul-stealing.” Yun Qinghong’s voice suddenly became heavier: “But now, this is the order of the head of this family! As the head of the family, can’t I even give such a simple order to a young member of the family?”
"Hmm..." Yun Waitian's throat contracted violently, but he was speechless.
“Yun Xinyue, get on stage immediately and accept Xuan Gang’s soul-capturing… This is an order!” Yun Qinghong said sternly.
Yun Xinyue's hands were shaking and his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at Prince Kaguya for help, but found that his expression was extremely ugly. Even though he saw his pleading look, he couldn't say a word... Yun Qinghong's fierce scolding had choked him to the point that his internal organs were about to explode.
“Hahahaha! Ridiculous, really ridiculous! Yun Qinghong, do you still think you are the Yun Qinghong of the past? You are nothing but a useless person now!” Helian Peng laughed harshly.
"Even if I am a useless person, I am still the head of the Yun family!"
"The head of the Yun family? Hehe..." Helian Peng laughed sarcastically: "What can you use to prove that you are the head of the Yun family? What qualifications do you have to say that you are the head of the Yun family? I, an outsider, know that the symbol of your identity as the head of the Yun family is the 'Head of the Family Order' passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors. Only those who hold the Head of the Family Order are the heads of the Yun family! Just like the Phantom Demon King Clan, only those who hold the Demon King Seal are the real Demon Kings! Yun Qinghong, since you call yourself the head of the family, do you have the 'Head of the Family Order'?"
"Back then, because he didn't have the Demon King Seal, the Little Demon King didn't dare to call himself the 'Demon King', and the Little Demon Queen could only be called the 'Little Demon Queen'. The Little Demon King and the Little Demon Queen were like this, so Yun Qinghong, if you don't have the Patriarch Order, what qualifications do you have to call yourself the Patriarch of the Yun Family, and what qualifications do you have to give orders to the people in the family!"
A hundred years ago, with the disappearance of the demon king Yun Canghai, the Yun family's Patriarch Order disappeared, and after that, Yun Qinghong succeeded as the Patriarch of the Yun family. The Yun family's "Patriarch Order" was lost a hundred years ago, and this is something that everyone in the Demon King City knows. After all, the Patriarch Order can be said to be the most important thing in the Yun family. It contains the most original Purple Cloud Skill, and retains the power and soul marks of each Patriarch. Once lost, it cannot be copied or replaced.
When Yun Qinghong declared his identity as the head of the family again after 22 years of silence, Helian Peng mentioned the Yun family's lost family head order, which was really a vicious attack on Yun Qinghong's weak spot. But Yun Qinghong did not show any panic. He sneered and said, "Helian Peng, you really care about my Yun family's affairs today, especially Yun Xinyue of my Yun family. You really care about me... Ha, since you want to see my Yun family's family head order, then I will grant you your wish."
As soon as Yun Qinghong finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand that had been pressing on the armrest of the wheelchair. In his palm, a purple jade token that was just the right size for his palm emitted a faint purple light.
The moment the purple jade token appeared, all the Yun family disciples present clearly felt the Purple Cloud Power in their bodies throbbing uncontrollably, and even the blood in their bodies had a clear sense of agitation. All the elders of the Yun family who were over a hundred years old stood up in unison, even the three great elders Yun Jiang, Yun He, and Yun Xi stood up at the same time, with deep shock and excitement on their faces.
"The… the Patriarch's Order! It's the Patriarch's Order of my Yun Family!" Grand Elder Yun Xi blurted out. As a grand elder, he lost control of his emotions. You can imagine how excited he was.
"The Patriarch's Order... Impossible! Wasn't the Patriarch's Order lost a hundred years ago? But, this aura..."
"No doubt about it! This is definitely the Patriarch's Order! There is absolutely no other like it in the world!"
"Thank God, the Patriarch Order of our Yun Family...is finally back!"
…………
The younger generation would not understand the concept of the "Patriarch Order", but for those elders over a hundred years old, it was an incomparable sacred object of the Yun family. The Patriarch Order reappeared after a hundred years, and it appeared in Yun Qinghong's hands. The elders of the Yun family were so excited that they could not control themselves, and some even had tears in their eyes.
The most surprised person was Mu Yurou who was beside Yun Qinghong. Although she was eager to know the answer, she did not ask because now was not the time to ask this.
"Qinghong, where did you find the Patriarch's Order? Or... has the Patriarch's Order not been lost at all in the past hundred years?" Yun Jiang stood up and asked, his white beard trembling with excitement as he spoke.
Yun Qinghong said calmly, “The Patriarch’s Order is a sacred object of our Yun Family. I would never dare to conceal or lie about whether it was lost. It was indeed lost a hundred years ago, but was later found by chance. As for the reason, this is an internal matter of our Yun Family. Now that there are outsiders present, let’s postpone it.”
The three great elders nodded at the same time, without asking any more questions. The return of the Patriarch's Order was the greatest joy of the Yun Family in the past hundred years. In comparison, how it was retrieved was secondary.
"Helian Peng," Yun Qinghong deliberately pointed the "Patriarch Order" towards Helian Peng: "Can I call myself the Patriarch of the Yun Family now?"
Helian Peng gritted his teeth, his face turned ashen. He never expected that the Patriarch's Order that had been lost for a hundred years would appear in Yun Qinghong's hands again. Moreover, even if he was not a member of the Yun family, he could tell at a glance that it was the real Patriarch's Order and it was absolutely true... This was simply weird to the extreme!
Everything that happened today was as expected in the first half, but afterwards...it was completely different from the planned script!
"Yun Xinyue, go up to the Holy Cloud Platform immediately and prepare to accept the Xuan Gang Soul Capture! This is an order. If you are innocent as you said, why should you be afraid of the Xuan Gang Soul Capture! If you hesitate and delay any longer, it will only show that you are guilty!" Yun Qinghong said sternly.
