"What nonsense!"
Old Master Mu slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the faces of Prince Zhong and Prince Xiang and yelled: "The Yun family has protected the lineage of the Demon King for ten thousand years. Their contributions are as great as a mountain, and everyone in the world knows it! The position of the head of the twelve families is well deserved! Even if there are mistakes, it cannot cover up the ten thousand years of merit! You know very well why the Yun family's strength has weakened to this point! What will happen to the Yun family in the future, you are not qualified to make decisions! I would like to ask, what is your intention in suddenly uniting and trying to force the Yun family out of the twelve guardian families!"
Mu Feiyan was the most senior among the twelve family heads. His loud voice and powerful profound strength made everyone in the hall's ears buzz. Prince Zhong was not in a hurry. He said with a smile, "Senior Mu, please calm down. I dare not have any ulterior motives. As a small prince of the Illusionary Demon King family, I have the blood of the Great Ancestor Demon King flowing in my body. Naturally, I have to consider the lineage of the Demon King in everything. Even if it means that many people will hate me, for the sake of my lineage of the Demon King, I have to say it."
“What you said is really high-sounding.” Su Xiangnan, the head of the Su family, stood up and stared at Prince Huai and Prince Zhong. “Although my Su family also exists to protect the Demon King’s clan for generations, I ask myself, in terms of qualifications and merits, we are far from being comparable to the Yun family! If even the Yun family is to be expelled from the list of protected families, which family is qualified to stay? Wouldn’t this chill the hearts of countless people who are loyal to the Demon King’s lineage!”
"Patriarch Su is totally wrong!" Patriarch Helian Kuang stood up and said loudly, "The Yun family has made great contributions, and no one can deny that. But he made a huge mistake that would make all the demon kings die with regret! The Yun family has made countless contributions, and has received countless deserved honors and rewards! So, for making such a big mistake, shouldn't it be punished? If it can continue to protect the family despite such a huge mistake, doesn't it tell us that all the guardian families can make mistakes at will and do whatever they want! If this is the case, where are the heroic spirits of the demon kings? Where is the justice of the Illusion Demon Code? This is what really chills the hearts of people all over the world!"
"I, Helian Kuang, on behalf of the entire Helian clan, fully support the words of King Xiang and King Zhong and exclude the Yun family from the list of protected families!"
"My Jiufang family also supports expelling the Yun family from the list of protected families!"
"My entire Nangong family supports us!"
A large number of forces that supported removing the Yun family from the list of guardian families emerged one after another, just like a hurricane sweeping across the sea, with voices surging... Naturally, these voices all came from the East Seat. At the same time, some people who did not know the truth, under the guidance of the words, also felt that the Yun family no longer had the qualifications to continue to be a guardian family, and they also followed suit. The louder the voices, the more people were naturally infected. In a blink of an eye, the Yun family became the target of public criticism, and the entire hall was filled with voices calling for the Yun family to be stripped of its guardian title.
The only ones who really knew everything were the top forces in the Demon King City, especially the guardian family and the royal palace in the west. The cries in their ears were getting louder and louder, and they were shaking with anger... Prince Huai's power was already amazing. If the Yun family was forced to leave again, they would have no power to resist.
“It seems that this is what everyone wants. It seems that the Yun family is no longer suitable to continue protecting the Little Demon Queen.” Prince Huai said with a smile.
Yan Zijing, the head of the Yan family, stood up abruptly and said angrily, "You people with ulterior motives should not waste your efforts! Our Guardian Family is only loyal to the lineage of the Demon King! In the whole world, only the Little Demon Queen can command the Guardian Family and decide the fate of our Guardian Family! Whether the Yun Family is qualified to continue to serve as the Guardian Family, the Little Demon Queen will make the decision! No one else is qualified except the Little Demon Queen!"
The Little Demon Queen’s face was gloomy. She was about to speak angrily, but Prince Huai took the lead and said loudly, “What Patriarch Yan said is correct. As the Emperor of the Illusory Demon Realm, the Little Demon Queen naturally has the highest decision-making power! However, we kings and the guardian families must not only be loyal, but also have the obligation to advise, especially in matters related to the reputation and dignity of the Demon Emperor’s lineage! The Yun family’s mistake was undoubtedly a huge mistake, but the Little Demon Queen still allowed the Yun family to continue to remain in the list of the twelve guardian families for the past hundred years, and they only received a small punishment. This is already the great grace given by the Little Demon Queen to the Yun family, but if the Yun family is allowed to stay, it would be too soft-hearted... and being soft-hearted makes it difficult to become a qualified emperor! A true emperor should be clear about rewards and punishments, and even decisive in killing! Otherwise..."
"What else?" The Little Demon Queen's face was calm, but her eyes were piercingly cold. "It seems that you, the Prince of Huai, know better than me how to be a good emperor."
“I dare not.” The Prince of Huai said calmly, “The Yun family and my palace have never had any grudges, and the head of the Yun family is half a friend of mine. These words will only make the Yun family dissatisfied with me, and even resent me. It will not benefit me at all, but I still have to say it... I am sincere, all for the sake of my Illusionary Demon Clan! Please think twice, Little Demon Queen!”
“I also implore the Little Demon Queen to reconsider!” Prince Zhong also said with a righteous look on his face.
“Little Demon Queen, among the twelve guardian families, the Yun family cannot be left out. Absolutely not!” Su Xiangnan and Yan Zijing shouted in unison.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. None of the kings outside the Demon King City had expected that Xiang Yu's sudden words would cause such a big turmoil. At this time, some shrewd people had already roughly seen some clues.
At this time, an old prince of the same generation as the former Demon King stood up and said, "This matter is so important to the kings and guardian families, and there are huge differences. We should not make a rash decision, otherwise, it will definitely chill everyone's hearts. Old minister, I do have a suggestion."
The Little Demon Queen looked at him coldly and said nothing. Because this old man was in the East Seat, he was clearly on the side of the Huai County King, and he would definitely not say anything that would benefit her. But with all the heroes of the world around her, she couldn't scold an old minister who was over a thousand years old, so she could only sneer in secret.
"Please speak, senior. We are all ears." Prince Huai looked respectful.
The old prince sighed pretentiously and said, "The kings and guardian families are the cornerstones of the Illusory Demon Realm. Apart from the Little Demon Queen, the kings and guardian families have the most say. Whether the Yun family should continue to have the qualifications to protect the family may seem to be a matter that only concerns the Yun family, but in fact it is indeed a matter of great importance. Such a major matter must not be decided based on personal feelings or wishes. In this case, the kings and guardian families with the highest say will help the Little Demon Queen to make the decision together. At this time and here, all the heroes in the world have gathered, and the people of the world will see with their own eyes whether there are more people who support the Yun family to stay in the guardian family, or more people who support leaving the guardian family. Whichever side has more people, we will follow their wishes. Isn't it extremely fair!"
"Little Demon Queen, what do you suggest?"
The words of the old prince were indeed reasonable, fair, and flawless. In this situation, the Little Demon Queen, no matter how tough her temperament was, could not refute it. Over there, Prince Huai had already nodded happily: "Senior, what you said is absolutely right! If most of the prince's palaces and guardian families think that the Yun family is still qualified to stay in the guardian family, then this prince has nothing to say and will not object. But..." Prince Huai glanced at Yun Qinghong and smiled faintly: "If even most of the prince's palaces and the guardian families that have protected the Demon Emperor for ten thousand years together with the Yun family think that the Yun family is not qualified to continue to stay, then if the Yun family continues to stay, this prince will definitely not accept it, and the entire Illusionary Demon Royal Family will not accept it, and no one in the world will accept it!"
"This is indeed the most fair and just method. I will have no objection to the result determined in this way." King Zhong also nodded and said loudly.
“Well then!” Prince Huai raised his arm and said sternly, “Well then, let me, let everyone see if the Yun family still has the qualifications to stay… All the Illusionary Demon Kings and Guardian Family Masters, if you agree to expel the Yun family from the Guardian Family like me, please stand up!”
Phew!!
As soon as the Huai County Prince's voice fell, Helian Kuang, the head of the Helian family, Chiyang Bailie, the head of the Bai family, Bai Yi, the head of the Nangong family, Nangong Zhi, the head of the Lin family, Lin Guiyan, the head of the Jiufang family, Jiufang Kui, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Xifeng, and the princes of the sixty royal palaces stood up in unison.
"The Yun family is no longer qualified to stay here and must be expelled! I, Helian Kuang, will be the first to support this!"
"What Prince Huai said is what I, Chiyang Bailie, have been thinking about all these years!"
"If the Yun family continues to stay, my Bai family will definitely not accept it!"
……………………
Seven guardian families and sixty royal palaces were enough to overwhelm the other side in terms of numbers. Hearing the voices asking the Yun family to leave the guardian family, Prince Zhong raised his lips and whispered to Prince Huai: "In this way, Prince Huai doesn't have to worry about Yun Qinghong causing trouble, right? Even if his Yun family is not expelled from the guardian family today, they can forget about having any say in this ceremony."
Prince Huai narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered: "Such a good atmosphere and situation, it's a bit of a waste to only defeat the Yun family."
Prince Zhong's eyes flickered: "What does Prince Huai mean?"
"Of course, I am taking this opportunity to grossly disgust all those stubborn guys on the other side, making them unable to raise their heads or stand up straight in this grand ceremony. I am also letting the Little Demon Queen know how easy it is for me to replace her. Hey..."
"It seems that Prince Huai already knows exactly what to do. Haha, he really deserves to be Prince Huai. Following Prince Huai is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life." Prince Zhong laughed contentedly.
Without a doubt, all those who stood up, whether from the Guardian Family or the various palaces, were from the East Seat. Old Master Mu sneered and shouted, "All those who oppose letting the Yun Family leave, stand up... Do you really think we are vegetarians?!"
Every word of Old Master Mu's was like thunder. The head of the Su family, Su Xiangnan, the head of the Tianxia family, Tianxia Xiongtu, the head of the Yan family, Yan Chengkong, and the masters of the forty royal palaces in the East also stood up in unison. Each of them had a solemn and angry expression.
On one side there are seven guardian families and sixty royal palaces.
Apart from the Yun family, there are only four guardian families and forty royal palaces.
It is clear at a glance which is better.
What is even more obvious is that the one who caused the Yun family to leave the list of guardian families was all in Dong Xi.
Those who were against letting the Yun family leave were all in Xishi.
It's such an obvious confrontation that even a fool would be able to see something.
These are clearly two distinct camps!
This is not a dispute over whether the Yun family should stay or leave, but in essence, it is a symbol of the sudden outbreak between the two camps.
What is even more obvious is that the camp that Prince Huai belongs to is far stronger than the camp that the Yun family belongs to.
