Chapter 535: The Will of the Yun Family
There were exactly one hundred people from the Yun family who came to participate in the Monster Queen ceremony this time, of which nearly half were young disciples, and as many as twenty-nine were accompanied by the thirty-six core elders, while the three Tai Elders were all among them.
"No one of the three elders stayed to stay and followed them all. It seems that my father has made up his mind this time." Xiao Yun approached Yun Che and whispered.
Yun Che nodded: "Other guardian families should also take the core strong men with them. By the way, each family is only allowed to bring one hundred people?"
"Well! This time, the top forces or rulers from major regions of the Illusion Demon World will be invited to the ceremony, but the people they bring are generally limited to less than three people, and some of the top-notch people cannot exceed ten people at most. Only our twelve guardian families and major royal palaces can bring so many people." Xiao Yun explained that he naturally had some understanding of this ceremony of the Demon Queen, which had long attracted worldwide attention.
After all, the Twelve Guardians are the top forces in the illusion demon world. They are equivalent to the four holy places in the Tianxuan Continent and exist to protect the Demon Emperor clan, so they naturally have special preferential treatment.
"How many people will be present at the ceremony?" Yun Che asked again.
"I don't know this either." Xiao Yun scratched his forehead: "It's the first time I've participated in the Monster Queen Ceremony."
"There will be about 100,000 people." Yun Qinghong, who was walking in front of them, said: "All of these 100,000 people have extraordinary identities. Including major city lords, lords, princes and nobles, sect lords, lords of the sect, lords of the Xuan Mansion, and racial kings... Most of the younger generations they brought were young masters or first geniuses. The Illusion Demon World takes the Demon Emperor City as its prestige. In terms of strength, they are difficult to compare with the twelve families, but they cannot completely underestimate them."
"100,000 people..." This scale was similar to what Yun Che expected. It was just the first major event after the Xiao Demon Empress reign, gathering almost the peak existence of the entire Phantom Demon Realm. Yun Che thought for a while and asked: "How many royal palaces are there in the Phantom Demon Royal Family now? How strong is it?"
"The royal family has 103, among which the Huai royal family is the strongest." Yun Qinghong narrowed his eyes and said, "These royal families have more or less bloodlines of the demon emperor. With such talent, their cultivation speed is far more than ordinary people. In addition, they enjoy the richest resources, and the opportunities in the Golden Wu Lei Flame Valley have also improved the greatest. Therefore, all the royal families are strong and there are no mediocre talents. Especially the "Seven Sons of the Phantom Demons" of each generation are famous all over the world."
"The proportion of strong men in each royal palace is extremely amazing, but the scale is far less than that of the twelve guardian families. However, in recent years, the Huai King secretly attracted the kings, and the power of the major royal palaces gathered to the Huai King's Mansion. In addition, the strong men of various tribes bought at high prices, the strength of the Huai King's Mansion is unfathomable. Now, even the guardian families tend to be largely inclined to the Huai King's Mansion, especially the Helian clan, who obviously completely surrendered to the Huai King's Mansion... If the Huai King really attacked today, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to the Little Demon Queen. However, although the Little Demon Queen is a woman, it is definitely not so easy to be pinned. What will happen at today's Demon Queen's ceremony... Unpredictable!"
The center of the Demon Emperor City is the location of the Demon Emperor Palace. Before entering the scope of the Demon Emperor Palace, a huge palace towering into the clouds appeared in front of you. The huge palace is almost as large as the entire Yun family. This is the place where the ceremony of the Demon Emperor Palace is held - the Demon Emperor Palace. Above the palace, a three-legged bird standing with golden feathers covering the sky, looking up at the sky with its head held high, accepting the look and worship of the entire Demon Emperor City.
Seeing Yun Che looking directly at the golden bird above, Xiao Yun explained: "That is the golden sculpture of the divine beast Golden Crow. The demon emperor bloodline of the Phantom Demon Royal Clan refers to the golden crow bloodline. The Golden Crow Divine Beast in the Phantom Demon Realm symbolizes the highest level of faith."
It was still early, and the Yun family and his group were not walking fast. When they were about to step into the main gate of the Demon Emperor Palace, a team of only a dozen people was also walking towards this side in the other direction. Wherever they went, the guards in front of the palace bowed down and greeted each other respectfully.
The leader of this group was dressed luxuriously, and his expression revealed a kind of aura of a natural superior. His eyes were dull and he showed unconcealed arrogance, as if everything in this world was not qualified to look up. Seeing the Yun family's team, he narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said with joy: "Oh? Brother Yun! Is it really you?"
Yun Qinghong's steps paused, turned around to look at him, and said lightly: "Prince Huai, long time no see."
Prince of Huai County?
These three words made Yun Che quickly look at the person who was talking.
Everyone knows the ambition of the Demon Emperor City of Huai Palace. His methods are endless, and they are even unscrupulous. It seems that they are not afraid of being known by the little demon queen. Yun Che originally thought that the Prince of Huai would be an overbearing person, but the person who was called the Prince of Huai by Yun Qinghong in front of him had a smile on his face and looked like a harmless scholar. It made people unable to associate him with a person who was ambitious to usurp the position of the Demon Emperor... Except for those eyes that were as deep as the dark night and as proud as a lone eagle.
"Hahahaha!" Prince Huai walked over with a laugh: "Brother Yun, it's been a long time since I saw you. Two months ago, I suddenly heard that you and your sister-in-law were miraculously healed. I was so happy that I had to prepare for today's ceremony. I have never been able to take the time to visit him in person. I am really ashamed to see Brother Yun. I hope Brother Yun must not be surprised."
Two months ago, Yun Qinghong not only cursed his son Prince Kaguya, but also personally took action to seriously injure Venerable Yanlong... Today, Venerable Yanlong did not follow him, and it is estimated that he would not be able to recover within half a year. At the same time, the Huai Prince's Mansion asked the Helian family to assassinate Xiao Yun and the seventh in the world had been exposed nakedly at that time. However, when the Huai Prince saw Yun Qinghong, he did not mention these things at all, as if they had never happened. He was even more "big brother" to Yun Qinghong. He was so intimate that he had met a brother of life and death that he had not seen for many years.
What a smiling poisonous snake... Yun Che sneered in secret.
"The Prince of Huai is intent, how dare I, Yun, be surprised?" Yun Qinghong said indifferently.
"Hey!" Prince Huai shook his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Yun, the title of "Brother Huai County", is too distant. Just like before, it's better to call Brother Huai. Huh, I really miss the time when our brothers were drinking and having fun, so... After this ceremony, Brother Yun went to our palace to be a guest. Our brothers had a good drink. How about it?"
"The Prince of Huai is kind, but there is no need to drink wine." Yun Qinghong smiled faintly: "People are from the past, but their intentions are not from the past. The taste of wine naturally changed and it became difficult to swallow. It would be better not to drink it."
Yun Qinghong's sarcasm, Prince Huai was not angry at all: "Brother Yun is angry at me? Alas, no wonder, this little bastard from my family is really not worry-free... Ye'er, I can't come!"
Prince Kaguya walked out from behind and stood beside Prince Huai. A cold gaze swept across Yun Che's face. Prince Huai said, "I heard that my incompetent son was disrespectful to Brother Yun that day. Alas, I really lost all the face of my Prince Huai Mansion. Ye'er, why don't you apologize to your Uncle Yun quickly!"
Prince Kaguya gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said, "Uncle Yun, Kaguya was ignorant that day and day, I hope he can forgive me."
Yun Qinghong accepted it safely, and then said lightly: "Since you already know your mistake, I will not remember the resentment of this junior. Prince Huai, I scolded the noble prince that day, causing all his face to be lost. Your Highness, Prince Huai, wouldn't you mind?"
"Where is Brother Yun?" Prince Huai waved his hand boldly: "My unscrupulous son is arbitrary all day long, disrespectful elders, and causes trouble everywhere. As his senior, Brother Yun is a lesson. It is natural for me to be grateful. I would not mind if I am grateful. Next time, if this bastard dares to disrespect you, there is no need to waste the verbal scolding and beat him half to death."
Yun Che: (Haha).
"Brother, look at the person behind Prince Kaguya." Xiao Yun came over and said in a low voice.
Yun Che looked sideways and looked behind Prince Kaguya. There was a tall and strong young man standing there. Kaguya was still as white as a white man, but the young man had a fleshy face, his eyes were like a hook, and his muscles were bulging high. Just by looking at him, he could feel how terrible power there was in each muscle.
It seemed as if he felt Yun Che and Yun Xiao's gaze. The young man's eyes suddenly shot up. After staring at Yun Che and Yun Xiao, he withdrew it back. A cold snorted from his nose that was enough to be heard by anyone, and his eyes were extremely contemptuous and disdainful... It seemed that Yun Che and Xiao Yun were not even qualified to let him take a look.
"This person is the eldest son of Prince Huai County - Huiran! The leader of the seven sons of this generation of phantom demons! Whether it is the Twelve Guardians or the Phantom Demon Kings, no one is his opponent at the age of thirty-five! Moreover, he is very cruel. Those who fight him will be seriously injured at the least, and those who die at the worst." Xiao Yun whispered, and Yun Che could hear deep fear from his voice.
Yun Che nodded slightly and stopped looking at him. At this time, he found that the eyes of Prince Huai suddenly fell on him.
"Is this the adopted son accepted by Brother Yun in the legend? If I remember correctly, my name should be... Yun Che?" Prince Huai smiled and swept his eyes from Yun Che's head to his feet, then nodded slowly: "It's true that he is very arrogant. No wonder, those who can be accepted as adopted son by Brother Yun and others are not ordinary people. At least they may seem a little better than this biological son."
Xiao Yun took a step forward and said without changing his face: "Brother is indeed much better than me. With such a big brother as an example, I am confident that I will grow faster, at least not embarrass my parents."
Yun Qinghong nodded slightly, his eyes full of praise.
"Okay, hahahaha!" Prince Huai laughed loudly, then bowed to Yun Qinghong: "I forgot to congratulate Brother Yun for having his adopted son. However, Brother Yun's adopted son is really mysterious. I want to understand these things at a moment, but even with my eyes and ears, I can't even figure it out. It really makes me curious."
Prince Huai said without changing his face and said without any concealment. After saying that, he lowered his arm and said, "The ceremony is about to begin. I will take one step ahead. If the king of Japan invites you, I hope Brother Yun will not refuse."
"let's go."
The Prince of Huai County showed a meaningful smile to Yun Qinghong, and then strode towards the gate of the Demon Emperor Palace. When one foot stepped into the palace gate, he suddenly stopped again, looked ahead, turned his back to Yun Qinghong, and sighed: "Apart from you Yun Qinghong, there is no one in the twelve families who are willing to call me "Big Brother". If you say that the person I don't want to be the enemy the most is also you Yun Qinghong. Today, I still call you Brother Yun. After today, should Brother Yun be on an equal footing with me, be a brother or... Haha, the result of everything is naturally decided by the elder brother."
The words of the Prince of Huai made the people of the Yun family and the Prince of Huai's mansion stunned. The guards guarding in front of the palace trembled with their legs, lowered their heads desperately, pretending not to hear anything.
The Prince of Huai County smiled faintly and stepped into the palace gate, with Kaguya and Kaguya following closely behind.
"Father, why are you so polite to Yun Qinghong? You even made an equal promise after you succeed? What qualifications are he?" King Kaguya said in great confusion.
"Haha," Prince Huai smiled faintly and said with emotion: "The Yun Qinghong you know has always been a useless person, but Yun Qinghong before you were born was the real Yun Qinghong. If you had been born more than ten years ago, you would not have asked this question. The Demon Emperor first gave Yun Canghai the name of "Demon King" and even allowed him to be on an equal footing with him. The Little Demon Emperor even took Yun Qinghong as an example since he was a child and was commensurate with his elder brother. Even your father, I, was asked by your grandfather to target Yun Qinghong!"
"Ah..." Prince Kaguya was stunned and said nothing for a long time.
"Hmph!" Huiran hummed disdainfully: "My father is so powerful. No matter how powerful he is, at his age, he will only be a mid-term emperor. How much threat can the Yun family add to such a mid-term emperor? Why should the father win over with the 'on-the-center'!"
The Prince of Huai was silent for a moment and said, "It is probably because his image in my heart is too profound. Everything is ready, and I am extremely confident in my heart, but when I think of him recovering, I feel inexplicably uneasy... This feeling makes me extremely unhappy!"
