Chapter 588: The Hand Behind the Scenes



Although Yun Che called it a "guess", the four reasons he listed, when combined, were clearly infinitely close to the truth!

Yun Qinghong and Mu Feiyan had long been suspicious of three of the points Yun Che had mentioned. Over the years, they had always been puzzled as to why the eleven strongest members of the Yun family had all been destroyed in the Profound Sky Continent a hundred years ago... No matter how strong the four sacred places of the Profound Sky Continent were, they might be able to defeat them, but it was impossible for them to be killed...

They just found out today that as soon as they entered the Profound Sky Continent, they were trapped in the "Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation" that would block their profound energy!

What Yun Che said was absolutely correct. The “Heavenly Might Soul-Suppressing Formation” that could seal off eleven high-level emperors would require an extremely large amount of energy to last for one breath, so much that ordinary people ()()(novel) could not even imagine it, so it was impossible for it to exist there all the time... and it was clear that it knew the time and place of Yun Canghai's arrival in advance!

This alone is enough to prove that there must be traitors in the Demon King City!

And this "traitor" is none other than the Huai Palace!

“So, the culprit who killed the former Demon King, the Young Demon King… and brought disaster upon my Illusory Demon Realm was not the so-called holy places of the Profound Sky Continent, but… Prince Huai’s Mansion!!” Mu Yubai punched the ground, stood up, and trembled with anger.

"I originally thought that the Huai Palace had ambitions because the bloodline of the Demon Emperor was cut off after the death of the Little Demon Emperor. I didn't expect that it was actually..." Mu Yuqing gritted her teeth and said, "Their entire clan has been blessed by the Demon Emperor for thousands of years, but they actually did something that harmed the Illusory Demon Realm and was intolerable to heaven and earth! If all this is true, then the Huai Palace... is simply unforgivable!"

“Based on the four reasons Che’er put forward, they can’t be false!” Mu Feiyan’s chest rose and fell violently, and her tiger eyes were full of anger. “Although I occasionally had such speculations before, I always denied it because I absolutely didn’t want to believe that as a royal palace, they would do such an act that is outrageous to both humans and gods, and intolerable to heaven and earth! I didn’t expect... they are really such a group of beasts! For their own ambitions, they killed the former Demon King and the Little Demon King, killed Yun Canghai... caused the Demon King’s bloodline to be cut off... caused the entire Illusory Demon Realm to be in panic for a hundred years…”

Mu Feiyan became more and more excited as she spoke, and her breathing became more and more rapid in anger and grief... When Yun Che talked about the reason why Yun Canghai and the others fell, he knew that the vague guess he had been unwilling to believe for a hundred years was actually true.

Over the years, they have hated the four holy places of Tianxuan Continent, and the entire Fantasy Demon Realm also regards Tianxuan Continent as a place of demons... Today, they learned that the demon that brought great disaster to the Fantasy Demon Realm was actually in this Demon King City! He was actually a member of the royal family.

Who could have thought of this? Who would have thought of this?

Even those forces that favor the Huai Palace would never have imagined that the Huai Palace was the sinister culprit behind it.

Xiao Yun's eyes widened, he was completely dumbfounded. Every word he heard was like thunder.

Yun Qinghong clenched his hands tightly, and whispered, “The person who killed the Demon King, my father, and my Yun family has always been by my side... This hatred and vengeance... is irreconcilable!”

He raised his head and said slowly: "However, it seems that the person who first developed the ambition should not be Prince Huai! When the Profound Sky Continent first invaded, Prince Huai was only thirty years old. It is absolutely impossible for him to have such ambition and scheming, and it is even more impossible for him to collude with the people of the Profound Sky Continent on his own without being noticed..."

Mu Feiyan and the others were startled. Mu Yukong exclaimed, "Could it be... the Prince of Ming, the father of Prince Huai!?"

“But, Prince Ming is usually very kind to others and behaves in a low-key manner. He does not act like a royal even when facing commoners. He has always been loyal to the former Demon King and obeys his orders… He has no pursuit of fame and fortune. More than a hundred years ago, when Prince Huai was 37 years old, he could not wait to give up the position of the Lord of the Palace to Prince Huai, and traveled around leisurely, no longer caring about anything… His casualness and indifference are well-known throughout the city, and he is so low-key that many people are almost forgetting his name… How could it be him!” Mu Yuqing said in disbelief.

Mu Feiyan was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "In the beginning, I always admired the character of Ming Wang and was very good friends with him. But during a drink, Yun Canghai solemnly told me that I should only be friends with Ming Wang, and definitely not be close friends. I asked the reason, and he said that Ming Wang was too peaceful, so peaceful that he always felt that he was abnormal. And if Ming Wang was really indifferent to everything, why did his profound strength cultivation level be so high..."

“Is King Ming very powerful?” Yun Che asked hurriedly.

"That's right!" Mu Yubai nodded, his face livid as he said, "Among the people of that generation, the former Demon Emperor was the strongest, followed by the Demon King, and the Ming King's profound strength was second only to the former Demon Emperor and the Demon King. Now that a hundred years have passed, his cultivation should have surpassed that of the Demon King back then."

"Alas." Mu Feiyan sighed, "But I didn't take Yun Canghai's advice seriously back then... Even until Prince Huai's ambition became clear, I didn't suspect him. At most, I cursed him for having a rebellious son."

Yun Che frowned: "Grandpa, what you mean is... you haven't seen King Ming again in these years?"

"That's right." Mu Feiyan nodded. "Before the previous Demon Emperor died, Prince Ming passed the position of the Lord of the Palace to Prince Huai, and then bid farewell to the previous Demon Emperor, claiming that he wanted to travel the world of Illusory Demons without worries and play around in the dust... After that, whether the Demon Emperor's lineage encountered a major change or Prince Huai exposed his ambitions, he never showed up. In order to get him to come forward to stop Prince Huai, the Little Demon Empress, and I have tried our best to find his whereabouts, but to no avail... Indeed, the Illusory Demon Realm is so large that with his strength, no one can find him unless he wants to be found."

“Now that the former Demon Emperor and the Demon King have passed away, and the Little Demon Queen’s Golden Crow bloodline has yet to awaken, the strength of the Ming King... is already the undisputed number one phantom demon, and no one can reach his or her potential!” When Mu Feiyan said this, her breathing obviously stagnated, and everyone’s faces suddenly became much uglier, and their entire bodies suddenly became cold.

The clearer the truth, the more terrifying it is.

The power of Prince Huai had already expanded to a point that the Little Demon Queen could no longer match. Now, with the addition of a cunning and extremely powerful Prince Ming, the situation, which was already extremely bad, became even more dire...

This shadow that enveloped the Demon King clan and the entire Illusory Demon Realm... What on earth could they use to fight against it! ?

The room suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of chaotic breathing. After a long while, Mu Feiyan sighed and frowned, saying, "It seems that the only hope now is that the Little Demon Queen's bloodline has awakened!"

“If the Little Demon Queen’s bloodline awakens, to what extent can her strength be improved?” Yun Che asked.

Yun Qinghong said calmly without any hesitation: "Once the blood power of each Demon King awakens and he practices the "Golden Crow Burning World Record", his strength will be invincible! Thousands of years ago, the previous Demon King awakened his blood when he was at the fourth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and his profound strength was directly raised to the ninth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. The Little Demon Queen's current profound strength is at the fifth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. After her blood awakens, her profound strength will at least be raised to the peak of the ninth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm! And because she carries the "Golden Crow Burning World Record", it is completely enough to rival the tenth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm! At the same time, her awakened Golden Crow flame power will also cause great suppression to the royal family members who only have the thin Golden Crow bloodline. At that time, even the Ming King will not be able to be the opponent of the Little Demon Queen."

“So that’s how it is.” Yun Che was slightly surprised. He had known that after every Demon King entered the Golden Crow Ancestral Land with the Demon King Seal, his profound strength would soar immediately, and he would be invincible in the world… It turned out that this was not an exaggeration.

Since the Little Demon Queen had obtained the Demon King Seal, she could also enter the Golden Crow’s ancestral land, and the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley would open in just half a month.

“Since once her bloodline awakens, the Little Demon Queen’s strength will be greatly enhanced, then…” Yun Che frowned and said, “If I were Prince Huai, I would use every possible means to prevent the Little Demon Queen from entering the Golden Crow Ancestral Land of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley!”

“That’s right!” Mu Feiyan nodded, her eyes fierce. “So, half a month from now, when the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley opens, I will call those old guys to personally escort the Little Demon Queen to the Golden Crow Ancestral Land!”

Demon King City, Prince Huai’s Mansion.

When Prince Huai returned to the palace, his face was as calm as water, but when people in the palace approached him, they would shudder involuntarily, making them afraid to approach him.

"My Lord, the master told you to go see him as soon as you come back." As soon as Prince Huai entered the palace, a man with a sallow complexion and long and short horns on his head came up and whispered. He looked very similar to the Venerable Yanlong who was seriously injured by Yun Qinghong.

Hearing the word "Master", Prince Huai's eyebrows moved violently, nodded slightly, and walked forward quickly. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask: "How is Ye'er's injury?"

The sallow-faced man said, "His Highness Kaguya's injuries are more serious than expected. The power that entered his body was extremely powerful and has not been completely dispelled until now... I'm afraid that His Highness Kaguya will need to recuperate for at least three months."

Prince Huai's brows tightened slightly, and he walked into the backyard silently without saying a word.

After opening the barrier and entering the secret passage, Prince Huai finally stopped in front of a large and pitch-black bead curtain. Behind the curtain, a dark figure was vaguely reflected.

Prince Huai knelt on one knee, closed his eyes and said: "Father..."

"No need to say more, your father already knows everything that happened today." A deep voice came from behind the dark pearl curtain. It was impossible to tell the age of the owner of this voice. It seemed to come from the sky, and it was as cold as if it came from purgatory.

“Yun Qinghong suddenly recovered from his injuries two months ago, and his profound strength recovered. I thought this might be the only unexpected variable. Unexpectedly, his son actually…” When Yun Che was mentioned, even with the character of the King of Huai, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth fiercely. Today’s humiliation, today’s shame, today’s defeat, are all unprecedented in my life!

“You are not to blame for this. Yun Qinghong’s son is extremely powerful. He even brought back the Demon King Seal and Yun Canghai’s remains. Even if your father were here today, it would be difficult to reverse the defeat.” The voice behind the pearl curtain said, “The failure to implement today’s plan is secondary, but the hearts of the people in the world are drawn to the Yun family. This is the worst part. In this way, we cannot move lightly for at least twenty years.”

“…I will personally cut Yun Che into pieces!” Prince Huai said fiercely.

"This is the first time I've heard such a heartless statement from you. It seems like you've been completely defeated this time." The voice behind the pearl curtain was as calm and cold as the endless darkness. "But he is extremely cunning, yet he dares to act so recklessly. He must have something to rely on! The most terrifying enemy in this world is the one you don't know clearly. Before finding out all his details, it is unwise to attack him, whether openly or secretly."

"I understand this." Prince Huai gritted his teeth and said, "I will send people right away... mobilize all the spies to investigate all his details! Especially his master... and how he came here from the Profound Sky Continent!"

"No! Now is not the time to do this." The voice behind the beaded curtain became even colder, and a cluster of red-black flames suddenly ignited in the darkness, like a will-o'-the-wisp swaying in the abyss: "Father asked you to come here to kill someone."

"Kill who."

"Little Demon Queen."

"What?" Prince Huai looked up suddenly.

“Now is the best time to kill the Little Demon Queen.” A terrifying sneer sounded, “And she is the one who gave us this opportunity herself. Not only is she alone, but she is also in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley where no one will approach.”

"She thought that by obtaining the Demon King Seal, she could awaken her bloodline... So naive..."

"This matter should not alarm anyone. The fewer people involved, the better… To ensure that nothing goes wrong, your father will go with you in person and make sure she dies without leaving any trace! Hahahahahahaha…"

The red-black flames swayed wildly amidst the wild laughter. A cold wind blew, causing the bead curtain to rustle... Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
