Prince Zhong, who was standing beside Prince Huai, noticed the change in his expression and smiled faintly, “It can be seen that you are truly wary of Yun Qinghong. Frankly speaking, this is something I really cannot understand.”
“I don’t deny it.” Huai Jun Wang said with a cold face: “The time when I felt most at ease was when he was disabled. But he recovered without any warning, just like a thorn suddenly stuck in my heart... I feel that Yun Qinghong has seen through what I am going to do at this ceremony, and he will definitely take action then.”
“Since you are so afraid of Yun Qinghong, you must know his character very well. So, based on your understanding of him, do you think it is possible that he will side with us?” King Zhong asked slowly.
Prince Huai's breathing stagnated, and then he shook his head: "Absolutely impossible."
"Since we already know it's impossible, why waste our emotions and try to win him over with this non-existent hope?"
Prince Huai remained silent.
“If His Royal Highness Prince Huai is really afraid that Yun Qinghong will do something bad, it’s very simple.” Prince Zhong twitched his lips and sneered, “Wouldn’t it be better if he didn’t even have the right to speak after a while?”
As soon as Prince Zhong said this, Prince Huai instantly knew what he was going to do. After a brief silence, he slowly nodded.
King Zhong smiled, his eyes tilted, his lips moved slightly, he condensed a sound to a person at the edge of the seat, and then made a look at him.
Yun Che had no interest in what these lords reported. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked Yun Qinghong, “Dad, the seven guardian families on the other side should have had a hand in joining forces to push public opinion and put pressure on the Little Demon Queen to severely punish our Yun family.”
Yun Qinghong said nothing and nodded slowly.
Yun Che frowned and said, “During the Centennial Ceremony, the Guardian Families and the major royal palaces all have the tradition of performing on stage, or even competing against each other. This time will be no exception. If I am not mistaken, the opposing prince will definitely take the opportunity to bring up this matter, and the method of the competition is also very likely to be the East Master versus the West Master.”
“Prince Huai will do this.” Yun Qinghong said calmly: “How could he not do something that could greatly dampen the spirits of the Little Demon Queen and those of us who are unwilling to lean towards him? Otherwise, it would be unfair to him to arrange this seat for us.”
"It depends on what excuse he will use."
In the calm sea, an hour had passed since the ceremony. According to the original plan, this ceremony would last at least three days and three nights, and it had only just begun.
At this time, the Prince of Zhennan, who was stationed in the southern border, had just finished reporting the great events of the century, and a young prince who was at the bottom of the status suddenly stood up in the corner of the east seat.
The Little Demon Queen glanced at him and said calmly, "Prince Chu, do you have anything to report?"
"Yes!" The man called "Prince of Chu" quickly left his seat and walked forward. His voice was obviously trembling as he spoke: "There is something that has been on my mind for a long time. However, this matter is of great importance and may cause displeasure to some adults, so I don't know whether I should speak of it or not."
The Little Demon Queen narrowed her dark eyes and said in a cold voice, "Since you don't know whether you should speak or not, then don't speak. Back off!"
“…” Prince Chu felt as if his throat was suddenly stabbed with a knife. He had been preparing for the words that were about to come out for most of the day, but he could no longer utter a single word. His face turned red… He said “I don’t know whether I should say it or not”, just to prepare for his next words. He didn’t expect that the Little Demon Queen didn’t let him speak out, but killed him with just one sentence.
His face twitched and he could only respond with a "yes" before retreating in embarrassment.
"This idiot!" In the center of the East Seat, Prince Huai snorted coldly.
At this time, a man standing not far to the right of Prince Chu's seat stood up. Judging from his attire, he was also one of the princes. He bowed and said in a high voice, "Your Highness, I have something to say! This matter has been buried in my heart for a long time. If I speak it out, it will cause some adults to be unhappy or even resentful. However, this matter concerns the reputation of my Illusionary Demon Clan and even the future of my Illusionary Demon Realm. Even if I am hated by others, I have to speak out."
“Oh, is that so?” The Little Demon Queen’s eyes were like the night sky dotted with stars. “Then I would like to hear what King Xiang is talking about. What a big deal it is!”
Prince Xiang gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "I beg the Little Demon Queen to remove the Yun Family from the list of the Twelve Guardian Families and replace them with a more powerful and qualified force!"
“Wow——”
As soon as King Xiang said this, the whole hall was in an uproar. No one had expected that the "big event" that King Xiang mentioned would be so earth-shattering!
The Twelve Guardian Families were the twelve families that followed the Great Ancestor Demon Emperor to unify the Illusory Demon Realm. They were the pinnacle of the entire Illusory Demon Realm and were supreme existences like sacred places. The Yun Family had been the leader of the Twelve Families for the past ten thousand years and was the most valued by the Demon Emperor's family. It was only after they encountered the Profound Heavenly Tribulation a hundred years ago that they rapidly declined in the past hundred years…Although this Prince Xiang was also a county prince, he had a low status among the royal family, and the power of his palace was simply not enough to compare with any of the twelve families. Now, in front of the Little Demon Queen, the twelve families, and all the heroes of the world, he actually asked the Yun Family to withdraw from the Twelve Guardian Families!
It was like dropping a bomb out of nowhere.
The Little Demon Empress' eyes narrowed suddenly, and the entire Yun Family was furious. Yun Qinghong didn't react much, but the others were not as calm as Yun Qinghong. The Great Elder Yun Waitian suddenly stood up, not caring that this was the scene of the grand ceremony, and cursed directly: "You bold lunatic, who do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly!"
King Xiang was surprisingly calm, and said calmly: "Grand Elder Yun, please be careful with your words, don't let the world know that all members of the Yun family are so well-mannered."
Yun Wai Tian sneered: "My self-restraint is only for those who I respect. A dog that forgets righteousness for the sake of profit, abandons its ancestors, and runs to listen to others' orders is not worthy of my self-restraint."
Yun Wai Tian's words were really vicious. King Xiang's originally calm face suddenly turned the color of liver, and his lips trembled with anger: "Yun Wai Tian...you...you...you are going too far!"
"You are the one who is going too far!"
"Okay, both of you, stop arguing." The Prince of Huai stood up at this time. The Yun family, the Mu family, the world, the Yan family, and the Su family were extremely suspicious that the King of Xiang suddenly stood up and said such shocking words. It must be the King of Huai's instruction. His standing up at this time was even more certain.
Prince Huai did not wait for the Little Demon Queen to speak, and said with a smile, "Prince Xiang, the Yun family has been one of the twelve guardian families of the previous Demon Emperors for ten thousand years, and has made great contributions and hard work. But you suddenly reported to the Little Demon Queen and requested that the Yun family be removed from the list of guardian families. You should at least give a sufficient reason."
King Xiang said quickly, "How dare I speak nonsense on such an important matter without sufficient reasons. And it is not just me who wants to let the Yun family leave the list of the twelve families. Eight or nine out of ten people I know agree with it! The reasons are naturally sufficient, and every one of them is known to the world."
Prince Huai stood up to support him. Prince Xiang was undoubtedly several times more confident. He said, "As one of the twelve guardian families of the Demon King, the least we should have is strong enough strength! At least, we should have a high-level emperor who is invincible in the world! Back then, the Yun family had the most high-level emperors among the twelve guardian families, and no other family could match it. However, a hundred years ago, all eleven high-level emperors of the Yun family died in the Tianxuan Continent! The current Yun family does not even have a high-level emperor! The strongest person in the entire family, the Supreme Elder Yun Jiang, is only at the sixth level of the Junxuan Realm."
"Everyone knows that the symbol of the top power in the Illusory Demon Realm is to have a high-level emperor, but the Yun family doesn't even have one! The Yun family is not even a top-level power, so how can they be qualified to be one of the twelve guardian families directly under the Little Demon Queen? How can they protect the lineage of the Demon King?"
“That’s wrong.” Prince Huai shook his head. “The Yun family’s catastrophe a hundred years ago was just the result of the demon king Yun Canghai’s impulse. Although the Yun family doesn’t have a high-level emperor now, with the Yun family’s foundation, if given enough time, perhaps there will be one in the future.”
"No! It's impossible!" King Xiang shook his head decisively: "What determines the future of a family is the strength of the younger generation of this family! However, everyone in Monster King City knows that the current younger generation of the Yun family is extremely weak! There are less than five Tyrants under the age of 30, and the strongest one is only in the middle stage of the second level of Tyrant Realm... Oh, I heard that there was a decent Yun Xinyue, but unfortunately she died suddenly."
"What future does a Yun family like this have? What qualifications do they have to occupy the position of guardian? If a family like this can protect the Monster King, wouldn't it make the Monster King's lineage lose face and be laughed at by the world!"
“Shut up!!” When Yun Waitian mentioned “Yun Xinyue”, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife, and he trembled with anger: “The reason why the younger generation of my Yun family is weak is that they were framed by some treacherous people and forced to bear heavy responsibilities. Otherwise, with the foundation of my Yun family and the power of my Yun family’s Xuan Gang, I will never be weaker than anyone else!”
King Xiang sneered: "What Elder Yun said really reminded me. That's right, what Elder Yun said is the second reason! That is the Yun family's sin!"
King Xiang pointed at the Yun family's seat and shouted, "The Little Demon Queen has been on the throne for a full hundred years, but she still cannot receive the Golden Crow inheritance in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley... Why is this?! Don't you Yun family know?"
"You!!" Yun Waitian's body shook violently. This was the biggest weakness of his Yun family. Even though he was extremely angry, he was speechless. Because a hundred years ago, the Demon King Seal was lost because of the Yun family, and the Samsara Mirror was also lost because of the Yun family... This was an irrefutable fact.
“Your Yun family lost the Demon Emperor Seal, which prevented the Little Demon Queen from awakening her Golden Crow bloodline and gaining supreme divine power… all thanks to your Yun family! The Samsara Mirror is the most precious treasure of heaven and earth passed down by the Great Ancestor Demon Emperor. The late Demon Emperor trusted you, the Yun family, and gave it to you to protect, but you lost it… and lost it on the Profound Sky Continent, the land of our mortal enemy! You are not only sorry to the late Demon Emperor, sorry to the Little Demon Queen… but also sorry to all the ancestors of the Demon Emperor’s lineage!”
“With such strength and such heinous crimes that have angered the world, the Little Demon Queen has allowed you to continue to retain the title of protecting the family for a full hundred years. This is already the most benevolent thing to do! But your Yun family should ask yourself what ability, what qualifications, and what dignity do you have to continue to stay in this position of protection!”
King Xiang's words were very sharp, his tone was indignant, and every sentence hit the point directly, making all the heroes in the hall feel more and more identified with his words. No wonder King Huai let him stand out.
Papapapapa…
A round of applause sounded, and Prince Zhong stood up while clapping his hands, and said with a serious face: "Prince Xiang, what you said is really great! The Yun family has committed many sins and their strength has greatly declined. This is known to the world, but I didn't think much of it at first, but after hearing Prince Xiang's words, I felt like I heard the morning bell. Indeed, with the current strength of the Yun family and the serious crimes they have committed, they must not continue to serve as guardians. Otherwise, they will really bring shame to the royal family and lose their dignity, and become the laughing stock of the world! Given the Yun family's crimes, the Little Demon Queen only cut off their resources for a hundred years. It is really too kind. It is not an exaggeration to expel them from the Demon King City!"
