Seven days after the Little Demon Queen returned, the ceremony that had been interrupted four months ago continued as scheduled. The Demon King's Palace, which had been extensively damaged, was also sufficiently repaired during these seven days.
Compared to four months ago when the hall was filled with constant whispers and the two factions were fighting fiercely, today the Demon King Hall had more people in it, but it was dead silent, so quiet that even breathing could not be heard. The positions of the core seats also changed significantly. The head of the Guardian Family had a big "Yun" written on his head, and the Helian family, which was the head four months ago... At this time, led by Helian Kuang, all the top family members knelt in the center of the hall, without even a seat. Those forces that surrendered to the Huai Palace, whether they were the Guardian Family, the Palace, other medium and large forces, or the world-famous peerless strongmen, all knelt there obediently, trembling with fear under the cold pressure of the Little Demon Queen.
"How is the preparation for Xiao Yun's coronation ceremony going?"
"Reporting to the Little Demon Queen, everything has been prepared, and the ceremony of crowning the king can be carried out tomorrow. However... where should the Prince Xiao's palace be placed? Please advise me, Little Demon Queen."
"Of course, the closer to the Yun family, the better."
"Yes...I understand."
"Prince Xiao Yun is twenty-two this year and has not yet married. Now that he has become the king, he should consider the matter of the princess as soon as possible." The Little Demon Queen turned her gaze to the Tianxia clan and said, "The beloved daughter of the Tianxia clan master, Tianxia No. 7, has just turned twenty this year. She is beautiful and talented, and has not yet married. I have heard that she and Prince Xiao have already fallen in love and are in love with each other. It is truly a match made in heaven. I intend to marry Tianxia No. 7 to Prince Xiao. I wonder what the Tianxia clan master thinks?"
Xiao Yun's mouth dropped open wide after hearing what the Little Demon Queen said. He was stunned for a long time. Number Seven Under Heaven even screamed "Ah!" and covered his lips tightly with both hands, his face flushed with excitement and joy. Hero of the World left his seat immediately: "It is my daughter's great fortune that the Little Demon Queen personally arranged the marriage. I naturally have no objection... I thank the Little Demon Queen for her kindness on my daughter's behalf."
“Number Seven Under Heaven thanks the Little Demon Queen for her kindness.” Number Seven Under Heaven bowed gracefully, the blush on her face that lingered for a long time revealing her deep shame and joy.
“Hey...Seventh Brother, be reserved...be reserved!” Number Five Under Heaven tugged at the corner of Number Seven’s clothes and said weakly.
"Hold on!" Number Seven Under Heaven said in a low voice, "I haven't settled the score with you for bullying my brother Yun before, humph!"
“Aren’t you my sister?” The Fifth Under Heaven muttered carefully, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart… Who could have thought that the “Tianxuan bastard” who was mocked by everyone in Demon King City would now… Alas, things are so unpredictable… But with Xiao Yun’s character, he shouldn’t hold a grudge against us for treating him in the past… Uh, probably not… After all, putting aside his identity at that time, his character and the way he treated Old Seven were still very good.
Xiao Yun also quickly left his seat and suppressed his excitement, saying, "Xiao Yun would like to thank the Little Demon Queen for granting me the marriage. Xiao Yun will never let my Seventh Sister down for the rest of my life."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Number Seven Under Heaven. Their eyes met and Number Seven Under Heaven stuck out his tongue at him and made a face. Even though he was under the watchful eyes of everyone, his smile was still as bright as a blooming flower.
The Little Demon Empress nodded slightly, "That couldn't be better. Master Yun, the Seventh in the World is the most precious pearl of all the clans in the world. The betrothal gift from your Yun family cannot be light."
Yun Qinghong stood up and said with a smile: "Of course. I like the princess of Tianxia family very much. If this is accomplished, it will be a double happiness for our Yun family. When an auspicious day is chosen, I will bring a lot of gifts and personally go to propose marriage for Xiao'er."
Many pairs of envious eyes fell on Tianxia Xiongtu. Although Tianxia Xiongtu sat upright, his face was flushed and his heart was churning... At first, he was furious when he thought about his daughter and Yun Xiao. But now, his daughter's marriage to Xiao Yun has almost become a blessing for the entire Tianxia family. Because Xiao Yun is no longer the same as before, and the Yun family is even more different now.
The ceremony passed quickly for two hours. The group of people who went with Prince Huai also knelt for two hours. They knelt there without daring to move during the entire process. Not to mention interrupting, they didn't even dare to fart. They were like a group of prisoners waiting for trial... Oh no, they were sinners!
At this moment, the Little Demon Queen's gaze suddenly turned towards the center of the hall, and her originally peaceful eyes suddenly turned cold.
Although the people kneeling there did not raise their heads, the pressure from the Little Demon Queen was like the coldest blade pressed against their throats, causing their entire bodies to shudder. They hurriedly lowered their heads even lower, not daring to even breathe.
"This queen wants you to kill all nine clans of King Huai within ten days! Now seven days have passed, how have you done?"
The tone of voice the Little Demon Queen used when speaking to them was completely different from when she spoke to the Yun Family and the rest of the Tianxia Clan. It was so low that it suffocated them.
The Little Demon Queen did not specify who she was asking. The several family heads kneeling in the front hurriedly said, "Reply...Reply to the Little Demon Queen, the four clans of the father, the three clans of the mother, and the two clans of the wife of Prince Huai have all been killed. Not a single one is left alive..."
"Those stationed in the outer city will also be wiped out. Please...please rest assured, Little Demon Queen."
"According to the Little Demon Queen's order, all the corpses have been publicly burned in front of the city gates... not a blade of grass will be left."
"We will never neglect the orders of the Little Demon Queen, even if we risk our lives..."
Helian Kuang frantically took out a jade slip and raised his hands high: "Deep underground in the Huai Palace, there is a secret room that has not been burned down. This jade slip was found inside... It is engraved with the Huai Palace's 'Fallen Flame Demon Art'... The Little Demon Queen has divine power, so this Fallen Flame Demon Art is certainly not worthy of your attention. However, at the end of this jade slip, there is a record of a blood escape technique... It should be the one used by the Ming Prince when he escaped that day."
The Little Demon Queen's eyebrows moved slightly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the jade slip in Helian Kuang's hand flew into her hand. Yun Che, who was sitting next to Yun Qinghong, also fixed his eyes on the jade slip that was full of yin energy. The blood escape technique used by King Ming that day was very strange. With the ability of the Little Demon Queen, she couldn't tell the direction he escaped to. But if he could understand the blood escape technique used by King Qingming, he would be unable to escape if he fell into the hands of the Little Demon Queen next time.
The Little Demon Queen directly spread out the jade slip. At the end of it, she saw a strange blood escape technique. She glanced at it briefly and then closed the jade slip.
"Little Demon Queen, I also discovered something when I was clearing out the remnants of the Huai Prince." Bai Yi also hurried forward, holding up a larger jade slip with both hands: "This jade slip was also found in the underground secret room of the Huai Prince's Mansion. It is engraved with all...all..." At this point, Bai Yi swallowed hard, and then continued: "The list of all those who surrendered to the Huai Prince's Mansion, please...please have a look at it, Little Demon Queen."
The hearts of many people present trembled violently, and cold sweats ran down their bodies.
"No need to read it!" The Little Demon Queen did not even glance at the jade slip, and said in a deep voice: "Hand over the list to the Palace of Prince Xing. And pass down the order that all the people on the list must write a confession in their own blood within three days, and nail it on the north city wall, and make it public for three years! If so, this Queen can temporarily spare their lives and will not pursue the matter. However, if after three days, any name on the list does not leave a blood letter on the city wall, then they will be regarded as the remnants of the Huai Palace... and be killed without mercy!"
Another bloody Shura Order was mercilessly issued from the Little Demon Queen's mouth, causing the air in the hall to suddenly turn cold.
Yun Che's eyes lit up immediately. This was because the Little Demon Empress's order was very clever. Because apart from Bai Yi, no one should know what names were written on the list. Although the jade slip was very large, it certainly did not have all the names written on it. However, the blood order of "kill without mercy" made anyone who had anything to do with the Huai Palace dare not have any luck and would confess their crimes with their own blood on the city wall.
In this way, all those currently unknown people who had surrendered to the Huai Palace would be clearly exposed.
However, the guardian families and the royal palace breathed a sigh of relief. With just a blood letter, they could be forgiven. This was an unexpected outcome. But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the next words from the Little Demon Queen made them suddenly feel scared.
“As for the guardian families and palaces on the list, there is no need to write blood oaths.” The Little Demon Queen’s voice suddenly turned stern. “Others’ obedience to the Huai Palace can be seen as following the crowd. But you, as the pillars and pillars of the Illusory Demon Realm, have defied my Demon Emperor. Your rebellious intentions are obvious! Your crimes are unforgivable! If you let me off so easily, how can I be worthy of the Illusory Demon people! How can I be worthy of my ancestors who have made the Illusory Demon Realm what it is today!”
It was like a basin of water from icy purgatory pouring down, and the seven family heads and the kings felt cold from head to toe. An elderly prince cried out in tears: "Little Demon Queen, I know I am guilty, but I really don't know about the numerous crimes of the Huai Palace..."
“No need to say more.” The Little Demon Queen interrupted him coldly, stood up, stretched out her hand and slapped the imperial chair. Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, a hidden stone door on the right side of the imperial chair slowly opened. Behind the stone door was a spacious but dimly lit stone room.
This stone chamber is rarely opened and is only used occasionally when discussing confidential matters.
"The ceremony has come to an end. This Queen has nothing else to do." The Little Demon Queen leaned to one side and said expressionlessly, "Everyone please disperse immediately. Those who have come from afar can leave this afternoon." After a brief pause, her voice turned cold, "The guilty guardian families and kings must stay!"
After the voice fell, the Little Demon Queen turned around and walked into the stone chamber with a gust of cold wind.
The Little Demon Queen announced the end of the ceremony, just as suddenly and capriciously as the last time it was interrupted. Some people wanted to say something, but when they heard the Little Demon Queen's last words, they all shut their mouths and dared not say anything more. They carefully left their seats, moved their bodies, and walked out of the Demon King Hall in an orderly manner.
“Brother, aren’t you going to… leave?” Xiao Yun asked tentatively, looking at Yun Che who had been sitting there without moving for a long time.
“Oh, I have something small to deal with. I want to discuss it with the Little Demon Queen alone. Don’t worry about me.” Yun Che held his chin with his hand and said mysteriously.
“But…” Xiao Yun, like most people, couldn’t help but shudder when thinking of the words “Little Demon Queen”. The Little Demon Queen obviously didn’t want anyone else to stay, and wanted to focus on protecting the family and the palace. He was afraid that Yun Che might anger the Little Demon Queen again…
“I’ve already told you not to worry about me. Go find your Seventh Sister!” Yun Che threw his hands around: “When she left, she looked back at you at least seven or eight times. If you don’t catch up with her, she might get angry and refuse to marry you.”
“Haha,” Yun Qinghong smiled faintly: “Xiao’er, let’s go. Your elder brother must have his reasons for staying here. Don’t worry too much. You should take care of yourself first. There are many people who are staying outside and waiting to talk to you, the new king.”
"Ah?" Xiao Yun turned his head and saw that at the entrance of the hall, many people deliberately slowed down their movements and kept looking in this direction.
“Let’s go.” Yun Qinghong pulled Xiao Yun up, then smiled at Yun Che, but did not ask any more questions and walked away slowly.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and only the guardian families and kings were left kneeling on the ground in the hall. Without the order of the Little Demon Queen, none of them dared to stand up. Everyone's forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, which they kept wiping with their trembling arms, but no sooner had they wiped it off, the cold sweat soon flowed down again.
Yun Che glanced at them, his eyes devoid of any pity. He stood up leisurely and walked towards the stone chamber that the Little Demon Queen had entered.
