Everyone was filled with sighs. None of them had thought that Yun Canghai had not died in the Tianxuan Continent a hundred years ago, but had only passed away three years ago. A hundred years had passed since the Demon King's catastrophe, but it was not until today that they could truly see the scenes behind this catastrophe. The truth and right and wrong that they had believed in and thought they knew had also been turned upside down in their hearts.
"I always thought that Brother Yun and I were separated forever, but I didn't expect that he died three years ago... Alas." Mu Feiyan sighed deeply, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy. He felt sad for Yun Canghai's hundred years, but was also happy that he had such a descendant. He believed that he would be able to see his own grandson before he died, entrust him with the things he had been protecting with his life, and witness his extraordinary talent with his own eyes. When he died, he would definitely feel at ease and smile.
In the Demon King Palace, the eyes looking at Yun Canghai's body were filled with deep admiration, admiration, respect, and deep guilt... The guilt of treating him as a "sinner" under the influence of others for a hundred years.
The elders of the Yun family had already had their eyes filled with tears, and the young disciples of the Yun family clenched their fists and looked straight at Yun Canghai... their eyes were like looking up at a god. When they were born, the Yun family was already in decline, and the Demon King City was always filled with all kinds of criticisms against the Yun family. When facing other guardian families, they always felt that they were inferior, but at this moment, they were so proud that they were the children of the Yun family.
The prince of Huai's chest rose and fell, and he said calmly: "I see, it is indeed arranged by heaven. However, there is still one thing I don't understand... and it is a very important thing." He narrowed his eyes and said: "How did you come to the Illusory Demon Realm from the Profound Sky Continent!"
"The Profound Sky Continent is far away from the Illusory Demon Realm. Even a top-level emperor cannot cross it. The secret space channel that the Profound Sky Continent used to invade our Illusory Demon Realm has long been blocked by us. There are also three major forces guarding the surrounding area day and night. If you dare to invade again, we will detect it immediately. And since you came from the Profound Sky Continent, you did it without anyone noticing! If you hadn't admitted it yourself, none of us would even know that you were from the Profound Sky Continent! Could it be that the Profound Sky Continent has opened up some other space channel? Or some treasure that can cross dimensions? If that's true..."
“Wouldn’t it be possible for those evil people from the Profound Sky Continent to sneak in at any time? Then, wouldn’t it be possible for my Illusory Demon Realm to encounter the same crisis from heaven a hundred years ago again?”
The words of the Huai Prince made many people hold their breath, and they all looked at Yun Che. Yun Che glanced at the Huai Prince, and said calmly: "Your Highness Huai Prince, you are worrying too much. If the Tianxuan Continent really had a way to sneak in here quietly, then with their covetousness for the Samsara Realm, they would have taken action many times in the past hundred years. Why would they go to such great lengths to send a message here, asking to exchange my grandfather's life for the Samsara Mirror?"
Yun Che said slowly: “Three years ago, I learned about my life experience and was carrying something entrusted by my grandfather. Naturally, I was extremely eager to return to the Illusory Demon Realm, not only to recognize my ancestors, but also to fulfill my grandfather’s last wish. So in the past three years, I have tried my best to find a way to come to this Illusory Demon Realm. As expected, the heavens did not let me down. By chance, I found a treasure that can travel here, and thus returned to the Illusory Demon Realm three months ago.”
Yun Che naturally couldn't tell the fact that he was brought here by the Ancient Profound Ark, but what he described was not nonsense, because the "treasure" he mentioned was the Ancient Profound Ark. Prince Huai frowned and was about to speak, but Yun Che continued, "As for what this treasure is, it is now my private property. Prince Huai shouldn't be so rude as to ask even this, right?"
The words that Prince Huai was about to ask were blocked by Yun Che. He did not speak any more, his brows secretly tightened, and the depths of his eyes were swaying with piercing murderous intent. The Little Demon Queen glanced at Prince Huai, then turned her gaze to Yun Che, raised her arm, and under her gray sleeves, a snow-white girl's jade arm stretched out: "Yun Che, return the Demon King Seal to this Queen first."
Prince Huai's face twitched, but he was completely helpless. He knew that once the Little Demon Queen got the Demon King Seal, it would be dozens of times more difficult for him to achieve his goal, and he might even suffer the consequences. However, he could not stop her during the Demon Queen Ceremony. At the same time, the appearance of the Demon King Seal also made the Little Demon Queen's mood excited. With the Demon King Seal in hand, she would be the true emperor of the Illusionary Demons. Her strength and situation would change dramatically.
Therefore, Yun Che showed the Demon King Seal but did not present it. Instead, he put it away. This made the usually calm and quiet Little Demon Queen unable to restrain herself and she took the initiative to face Yun Che.
Facing the Little Demon Queen’s personal request, Yun Che did not move forward, nor did he take out the Demon King Seal. Instead, he stood where he was and said with an extremely calm expression, “I refuse.”
Yun Che’s answer was beyond everyone’s expectations. The Little Demon Queen raised her eyebrows slightly, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in surprise.
“This…” The elders of the Yun Family were all dumbfounded. Yun Qinghong frowned but did not speak. He just looked at Yun Che silently.
Prince Zhong, who had been anxious and frustrated for a long time, finally seized the opportunity to attack Yun Che. He took a step forward and shouted, “Yun Che! You are so brave! The Demon King Seal belongs to my Illusionary Demon Royal Family and is extremely important to my Illusionary Demon Royal Family! Don’t tell me you want to take it for yourself!”
Yun Che squinted his eyes and said coldly: “Zhong Junwang, you have made three mistakes. First, the Demon King Seal belongs to all previous Demon Kings, not to the Illusory Demon King family! Only the previous Demon Kings are qualified to own it. As for the Junwang and the Outer King, they naturally do not have this qualification.”
“You…” Prince Zhong shuddered, and Prince Huai’s lips instantly turned purple. How could they not hear that Yun Che’s words were clearly meant to mock them: How could a mere prince of a county be worthy of touching the Demon King Seal… How could he be worthy of becoming the Emperor of Illusionary Demons?
Yun Che ignored their expressions and continued, “Second, this Demon King Seal is a treasure to the Demon King, but to me, it is just a piece of burning jade. It is useless except for looking at it. I have no interest in taking it for myself.”
“Third…” Yun Che’s eyes became cold and condensed. “Since you are only a county prince, you naturally have no right to interfere with or decide its ownership. And it was guarded by my grandfather with his life for a hundred years in the Profound Sky Continent, and then I brought it back here after going through all the hardships. Now it is in my hands, and I naturally have the freedom to decide who to give it to! As for the matter of retrieving the Demon King Seal, you did not contribute at all, and did not make any contribution. It has nothing to do with you, and it is not your turn to point fingers at me!!”
By now, everyone in the Demon Queen's Hall had realized how sharp and vicious Yun Che's words were. The seven patriarchs who had been so arrogant before were all gone, and no one in the major palaces dared to speak to Yun Che again. Prince Zhong thought that Yun Che had asked for his own death by disobeying the Little Demon Queen in public, and it was only natural for him to accuse her. Unexpectedly, she counterattacked him in an instant, and Prince Zhong felt a blockage in his chest, his upper body trembled with anger, his eyes went black, and he almost vomited blood.
The Little Demon Queen was not angry. She said calmly, "Since you know that it is the most precious treasure of the Demon King clan, and you were entrusted by your grandfather, the Demon King, to return it to me, why do you refuse now? Do you have any request? You brought the Demon King Seal back from the Profound Sky Continent, and your contribution is unparalleled. If you have any request, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
Yun Che smiled faintly but shook his head: “A request? When I received it from my grandfather, I thought about how to come to this Illusory Demon Realm and give it to the Little Demon Queen. I did this only to fulfill my grandfather’s last wish and never thought about relying on it to get any reward. This is because the Demon King Seal on me carries my grandfather’s life and sincerity.”
“However, after I arrived at the Demon King City, what I saw was the Yun family’s decline into misery. What I heard was all kinds of criticisms against the Yun family. Even the entire Illusory Demon Realm believed that my Yun family and my grandfather were sinners! Haha…” Yun Che laughed, and his laughter was particularly ironic. “When my grandfather first told me about my family, his face was full of pride. He said that our Yun family was the most powerful family in the Illusory Demon Realm and the most tenacious protective barrier around the Demon King. He told me that although the Yun family no longer has him, it will definitely become more prosperous because the Yun family has always been the leader of the twelve guardian families and has always been the most valued by the Demon King.”
“But grandpa took all the pillars of the family to the Profound Sky Continent to save the former Demon Emperor... and endured a hundred years of torture to protect the Demon Emperor Seal... What reward did my Yun family get? What reward did my grandpa get!!”
"If my grandfather knew this, how would he rest in peace?!"
“In order to save the former Demon Emperor, the ten great elders of my Yun family died in vain. In order to protect the Demon Emperor’s Seal, my grandfather passed away after enduring a hundred years of torture. But my Yun family has been blamed for a hundred years, and has been punished and suppressed time and time again, and has been ridiculed and mocked. Now it has declined miserably... All the sacrifices were borne by my Yun family, all the charges were borne by my Yun family, and all the punishments were borne by my Yun family..."
"Now that the Demon King Seal is back, you want me to hand it over like this... How can I be willing to give it back to you!!"
Yun Che’s eyes were filled with anger, and his voice was like thunder: “If I just return the Demon King Seal like this, how can I justify the hundred years of injustice that my Yun family has endured! How can I justify the hundred years of infamy that my grandfather has innocently endured!”
“Little Demon Queen, if you were me… would you be willing to accept this!!” Yun Che stared directly at the Little Demon Queen and questioned her.
The Little Demon Queen was stunned and remained speechless for a long time. The hall was completely silent… When Yun Che shouted that he refused to return the Demon King Seal to the Little Demon Queen, everyone thought that Yun Che was bold and disobedient, but after listening to Yun Che’s questioning, they all fell silent… All the sacrifices, punishments, and infamy were all borne by the Yun family. Now that the Demon King Seal was brought back by the son of the Yun family, it was handed over directly like this… How could they be willing! ! Who could be willing!
Has everything the Yun family has suffered in the past hundred years been in vain?
They asked themselves, if it were them, there is no way they would be willing to do it... absolutely no way.
