"..." Prince Huai's lips turned blue and purple, his hands trembled slightly, and his chest almost exploded. This was the most vicious insult he had ever suffered in his life. What was even more heartbreaking than suffering such insults was that he couldn't even say anything back.
This was a "reminder" on the surface, but in fact it was a direct slap on the face of the Huai King and the Dong Xi Wangfu, which stunned the Xi Xi Wangfu and the families. The faces of the Dong Xi Wangs were uglier than each other... and some Wangfus even began to regret their attachment to the Huai King under such circumstances.
Yun Che’s words were not just a curse… they were like a pair of extremely heavy shackles that were put on these princes who had already turned their backs on their rulers, making them feel uncomfortable and want to die.
“Lord Huai, and all the other kings present here, is there anything I, Yun Che, said wrong? If there is any mistake, please feel free to point it out.” Yun Che glanced at the East Seat and said slowly.
King Huai, King Zhong... and the other kings who were so aggressive at the beginning of the East Seat were all silent. No one said anything to refute or rebuke. At this moment, their state of mind was like being fed feces, but not only could they not spit it out, they could not resist, but they had to nod their heads in agreement to admit that it was right to feed them...
The Little Demon Queen had been silently looking at Yun Che, her eyes revealing a complexity that others could not understand. She had been prepared for everything in the Demon Queen Hall, but she did not expect that nothing she expected would happen, and this ceremony became a performance by Yun Che alone. The Prince of Huai, who even she had to call "terrible" and who made all the guardian families unable to resist, was defeated because of this "general from heaven", making the seven guardian family heads who were feared by the world almost become clowns.
Under her gaze, Yun Che suddenly turned around, facing her, and picked up the Demon King Seal again in his hand: “Little Demon Queen, please forgive Yun Che’s previous willfulness. Yun Che will now return this Demon King Seal to the Little Demon Queen.”
After saying this, he slowly stepped forward and held the Demon King Seal in front of the Little Demon Queen with both hands.
The two of them looked at each other at close range. Yun Che's mind uncontrollably flashed with the image of the naked girl in the mist that night. A strange color suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth twitched. The almost obscene thing in his eyes was clearly captured by the sharp eyes of the Little Demon Queen. The eyes were instantly cold, and Yun Che almost shuddered. She did not take the Demon King Seal immediately, but said calmly: "Don't you need to continue with the request you just made?"
“No need.” Yun Che shook his head. “The Demon King Seal originally belonged to the Demon King family. It is only natural that it should be returned to its original owner. However, this Demon King Seal carries my grandfather’s loyalty and life. I cannot let go of my grandfather’s sacrifices and the way he has been treated over the years. That is why I used the Demon King Seal just now to ask the seven family heads to apologize to my grandfather. At the same time, I reminded some people not to forget their duties and lose their conscience… As the descendant of the Demon King, I do not want to see the things that my grandfather used his life to protect encounter the plots of some evil people!”
“Since I’ve already reminded you, that’s enough. Otherwise, if we were to see faces that were hesitant and uncomfortable when it came to swearing allegiance, wouldn’t that make the Little Demon Queen and all those who are loyal to her sick?” Yun Che’s unhurried words were undoubtedly another stab at “certain people”.
The Little Demon Queen reached out her hand and gently took the Demon King Seal. She held it in her hand carefully and gently. Her expression was calm, but Yun Che, who was very close to her, could still see the slight turmoil in her eyes.
As the only person left in the lineage of the Demon King, no one really knew what the loss and recovery of the Demon King Seal meant to her, and no one knew how her heart was beating at the moment. Feeling the burning temperature of the Demon King Seal and the pure Golden Crow aura, she gently closed her eyes, then turned around and walked towards the throne.
In front of the throne, the Little Demon Queen turned around and held the Demon King Seal in her hand. Her slender white hands and fair wrists were as pure and beautiful as the purest and flawless jade in the world under the clear blazing light of the Demon King Seal… However, in the entire Demon King Hall, Yun Che was probably the only one who had the heart to admire the Little Demon Queen’s arms.
"The Demon King Seal that was lost for a hundred years has returned. This is a great blessing. The Yun family has made great contributions, and no one can deny it! For the Yun family's great contributions, I will give them a generous reward. I will also give them an explanation for the injustice they have endured in the past hundred years! The right and wrong that have been buried in this... I will also find out clearly!"
The Little Demon Queen swept her eyes across the hall. Everyone who came into contact with her gaze froze in their tracks, and even held their breath. She raised her arm, and the Demon King Seal disappeared into her hand: "I have sworn to my father's spirit tablet that I will do whatever it takes to retrieve the Demon King Seal, and on the day I retrieve it, I will go to pay tribute to the late emperor. I cannot break my oath to my father, so this ceremony will be temporarily suspended today. Please return to your residences first, and the ceremony will continue in three days!"
"Ah? This..." The Little Demon Queen suddenly announced that the ceremony would be temporarily suspended. Everyone was caught off guard, but they also felt that it seemed reasonable. The return of such an important item as the Demon King Seal made it reasonable for the Little Demon Queen to pay tribute to the Demon King and inform the Little Demon King of this matter as soon as possible.
(This chapter is not yet finished, please turn the page.) Moreover, the Little Demon Queen should also need enough time to digest what happened today and think about how to deal with it.
"The body of the demon king will be temporarily placed in the Yun family, and will be buried with the highest royal ceremony on a chosen day. In addition, after fifteen days, the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley will be opened again, and the Yun family can select thirty people to enter. Other families and the royal palace must have made preparations, and the Yun family must also make preparations as early as possible within these fifteen days. During these three days, this queen must quietly pay tribute to my father, and no one, no matter how important the matter, is allowed to disturb us!"
"Everyone, please disperse. We will discuss this important matter again in three days!"
The Little Demon Queen finished speaking and without waiting for anyone to say anything, she waved her long grey sleeves and her entire body was enveloped in flames. When the flames dissipated, her figure also completely disappeared from there.
…………
…………
The Little Demon Queen left so cleanly and neatly, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment. Yun Che was also stunned for a moment… He had laid out the prelude perfectly enough. With the Little Demon Queen’s Demon King Seal in hand, she could easily suppress public opinion against Prince Huai and others, making them not have the courage to act rashly at least in the short term. But after getting the Demon King Seal, she chose to stop the Demon Queen Ceremony and left directly… just to pay tribute to the late Demon King.
Given the Little Demon Queen's personality, she shouldn't behave like this.
As soon as the Little Demon Queen left, the hall was filled with discussions. Yun Qinghong stood up and looked at his father's body in the center of the hall, feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart: "Everyone, let's go... It's time to take my father's body home."
Yun Qinghong's gentle words caused the elders of the Yun family to no longer be able to control their emotions. They all rushed to the center of the hall like crazy and fell in front of Yun Canghai's body...
“Master!!”
“Master!!”
In their endless excitement, they no longer cared about their image and dignity, they cried and wailed... and then cried uncontrollably. Today, they experienced the most intense joy and sorrow in their lives. Thinking back to the bad news of the past century and everything the Yun family had suffered in the past century, no matter how strong their wills were, they could not suppress their out-of-control emotions at this moment.
“Yun Duanshui… meet the young patriarch!” Second Elder Yun Duanshui bowed deeply to Yun Che, his face filled with excitement and the kind of respect he only showed when facing Yun Qinghong and Yun Canghai: “I didn’t know that it was the young patriarch who had returned, and I was so negligent and disrespectful. I really deserve to die.”
"Second Elder, what are you talking about..."
Just as Yun Che was about to step forward to help Yun Duanshui up, a large number of Yun family elders and disciples were already bowing to him: “Greetings, Young Patriarch!”
Yun Che completely reversed the bleak fate of the Yun family today, and also eliminated a storm that was about to fall. Everyone in the Demon King's Hall today was shocked by his beauty, let alone the people of the Yun family. Although he was only in his twenties and had only been in the Yun family for a short three months, they all bowed down willingly and sincerely. Some elders and young disciples who were rude to him on weekdays were even more terrified.
“As expected of you, the grandson of the Demon King and the descendant of the Yun family master. I have lived for more than a thousand years, and only today did I truly understand what a great man is.” Qin Zheng stood beside Yun Qinghong and looked at Yun Che with a face full of admiration.
“Lord Qin, you are too kind.” Yun Qinghong bowed to him solemnly and said, “I thank Lord Qin for speaking out for justice. Lord Qin, rest assured, if those seven clans dare to retaliate against you, I will not sit idly by.”
"Haha, I am just redeeming myself. I am grateful that Patriarch Yun does not blame me. I cannot bear the words 'thank you'." Qin Zheng waved his hand and said with a calm smile, "As for Patriarch Yun's worry, it is unnecessary. I will be buried in the ground in a few decades. There is no need for them to attack me secretly."
“Congratulations to the head of the Yun family for finding his beloved son… With this successor, the Yun family will surely be able to restore its former glory in the near future.” A city lord squeezed forward and congratulated Yun Qinghong.
“I don’t agree with what City Lord Yue said. The Yun family’s young master is only 22 years old this year, which already makes us all admire and ashamed. The Yun family has Patriarch Yun and Yun Che, plus the Little Demon Queen’s respect and promise. It’s more than just restoring the former glory, hahahaha!”
"Brother Lin is right! Master Yun, congratulations!"
………………
The heroes from all sides congratulated Yun Qinghong and tried to get close to him, because anyone could see that the Yun family would soon rise in strength. Yun Xiao was crowned king, the Yun family received the public promise from the Little Demon Queen, Yun Qinghong's severely injured body miraculously recovered, and their lost prestige would soon be restored, and even greatly increased... More importantly, the Yun family had a young master who made them all sigh with admiration.
It would be extremely difficult for the Yun family not to rise.
Although the Yun family is the weakest among the twelve families in terms of overall strength, at this moment,
(This chapter is not yet finished, please turn the page) However, no one even dared to imagine how prosperous the Yun family would be in just a few years.
The Yun family was surrounded by the heroes of the world, and there were groups of people in the back trying desperately to squeeze in so that they could talk to Yun Qinghong or Yun Che. Prince Huai looked at them coldly, and the gloomy look seemed to be completely frozen on his face, and he couldn't relax it no matter what.
“Yun…Che…” Between the clenching teeth, two words filled with endless hatred and coldness came out with great difficulty.
He had been preparing and enduring for so many years, all for this day!
But in the blink of an eye, it was completely defeated.
He only executed the first step of his plan... and this one and only step ended up backfiring. Not only did it allow the Yun family to show off their power, but he also lost a lot of face and Purple Vein Divine Crystals.
“Lord Huai, what should we do now?” Lord Zhong came over and whispered. He looked in Yun Che’s direction and gnashed his teeth. They all knew that the reason for today’s disastrous defeat was all because of Yun Che… just because of him.
“Hiss…” Prince Huai gritted his teeth, and as his chest rose and fell, a breath of cold air flowed out from between his teeth: “Go!”
Prince Huai turned his gloomy face, ignored everyone, and walked stiffly out of the hall. Seeing his actions, the seven heads of the house who were at a loss, as well as the various princes of the East Palace, also stood up and left with a rather dusty look.
"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness Prince Huai and the seven family heads!"
Just as Prince Huai took a few steps, Yun Che’s loud voice came from behind him. Yun Che stared at Prince Huai’s back, and glanced at the seven clan heads over there. He said with a smile: “But there is one thing I, Yun Che, still need to remind you. You must remember to deliver the Purple Veined Divine Crystals that you lost to my Yun family to my Yun family’s mansion on time. The entire Illusory Demon Realm should know about this matter immediately. I don’t think that you, a dignified prince’s mansion and guardian family, will lose the most basic trust and face for a few kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals and let the world look down on you, right?”
Prince Huai stopped walking, his body frozen there motionless for three full breaths, before he suppressed the urge to kill Yun Che at all costs, took another step, and walked out of the Demon King Hall without saying a word.
“Humph!” Yun Che snorted coldly as he watched Prince Huai leave. He clearly felt the murderous intent that Prince Huai had just emitted.
“You actually provoked so many enemies in just one day! These people are the top figures in this Illusory Demon Realm.” Jasmine sneered: “It really fits your personality of seeking death wherever you go.”
“This is related to my family, as well as my grandfather’s honor and will. Even if it means digging my own grave, I have to do it.” Yun Che sighed, and then smiled with ease: “But this crisis is nothing compared to the two years in the Primordial Profound Ark.”
After finishing speaking, Yun Che frowned slightly and murmured, “After the Little Demon Queen obtained the Demon King Seal, she suddenly stopped the ceremony and left. What was the reason for that…”
