Chapter 536 – King of Huai County

The Yun Family came to participate in the Demon Empress Ceremony this time with exactly one hundred people, of which young disciples accounted for nearly half or so, the thirty-six Core Elders had as many as twenty-nine accompanying them, and the three Great Elders, all of whom were among them.

“The three Great Elders surprisingly did not have a single person left behind to sit in on the ceremony, all of them followed, it seems that Father has the intention of going out on a limb this time.” Xiao Yun approached Yun Che and whispered.

Yun Che nodded, “The other guardian clans should also bring their core powerhouses along. That said, each family is only allowed to bring a hundred people?”

“Hm! This time, for the Demon Empress Grand Ceremony, the top powers or rulers of the major regions of the Illusory Demon Realm will all be invited to come, but the number of people they bring with them is generally limited to less than three, and some of the top strengths can’t be more than ten people at most. The only ones who can bring so many people are our Twelve Guardian Families, and the major royal families.” Xiao Yun explained that he naturally had some understanding of this Demon Empress Ceremony that had long been in the world’s spotlight.

The Twelve Guardian Families were, after all, the topmost forces in the Illusory Demon Realm, with a status equivalent to the Four Great Sacred Grounds of the Tianxuan Continent, and existed for the purpose of guarding the Demon Emperor’s clan, so naturally, they had special preferential treatment.

“At the Grand Ceremony, roughly how many people will be present?” Yun Che asked again.

“This, I don’t know.” Xiao Yun scratched his forehead, “It’s also my first time attending the Demon Empress Grand Ceremony.”

“There will be around 100,000 people.” Yun Qinghong, who was walking in front of them, spoke out, “These 100,000 people, none of them are of extraordinary status. Including the major city lords, lords, princes and nobles, clan lords, Xuanfu lords, and kings of races……. The young generation they brought with them are also mostly young lords or first geniuses. The Illusory Demon Realm is honored by the Demon Emperor City, and on the level of strength, it’s difficult for them to compare to the twelve clans, but they can’t be completely underestimated.”

“One hundred thousand people ……” This scale, it was similar to what Yun Che had expected. It was just the first major event after the reign of the Little Demon Empress, and it had gathered almost the entire peak existence of the Illusory Demon Realm. Yun Che thought for a moment and asked, “How many kingdoms does the Illusory Demon Royal Clan have now? What is the strength?”

“There are one hundred and three royal mansions, with the Huai Royal Mansion being the most powerful.” Yun Qinghong squinted his eyes and said, “All of these royal families have more or less demon emperor bloodline, under this kind of talent, the speed of cultivation far exceeds that of ordinary people, plus enjoying the most abundant resources, the opportunity of Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley, the enhancement of them is also the greatest, thus among the royal families, all of them are strong, there is no mediocre talent. In particular, the ‘Illusory Demon Seven Sons’ of each generation are all famous.”

“The proportion of strong people in each royal family is extremely astonishing, but the scale is far less than the Twelve Guardian Families, but, over the years, King Huai secretly enlisted all the kings, and the power of the major royal families gathered towards King Huai’s family, coupled with the strong people of all the races who were bought at a high price, the strength of King Huai’s family is already unfathomable. Now, even the guardian family, also a large number of inclined to the Huai Wangfu, especially the Helian clan, obviously has completely surrendered to the Huai Wangfu …… If today the Huai Wang is really difficult, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to the Little Demon Empress. However, although the Little Demon Empress is a woman, she is by no means someone who can be clamped down so easily, what will happen above the Demon Empress Ceremony today …… cannot be predicted!”

The center of the Demon Emperor City was where the Demon Emperor Palace was located. Before stepping into the range of the Demon Emperor Palace, a huge palace that towered into the clouds was presented in front of them. The enormity of this palace was almost comparable to the entire Yun Family. This was the place where the Demon Empress Ceremony was held – the Demon Emperor’s Grand Palace. Above the palace, a large bird standing on three legs with golden feathers covering the sky looked up at the sky, accepting the admiration and worship of the entire Demon Emperor City.

Seeing Yun Che staring straight at the large golden bird in the sky above, Xiao Yun explained, ”That, is the golden mold of the divine beast Golden Crow. The Illusory Demon Royal Clan’s Demon Emperor bloodline refers to the Golden Crow bloodline. The Golden Crow Divine Beast symbolizes the highest level of faith in the Illusory Demon Realm.”

The time was still early, the Yun Family’s group did not walk fast, and when they were about to step into the main gate of the Demon Emperor Palace, in the other direction, a group of only a dozen or so people were also walking this way, and wherever they went, the guards in front of the palace did not fail to bow down and respectfully welcome them.

This line of people led by the person dressed in luxurious clothes, between the looks revealed a natural superior aura, eyes plain in the translucent undisguised arrogance, as if all the things in this world, are not qualified to let this pair of eyes to look up to. Seeing the Yun Family’s team, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile, and he said with a joyful expression, “Oh? Big brother Yun! It’s really you?”

Yun Qinghong’s footsteps paused, turned around to look at him, and said indifferently, “County King Huai, long time no see.”

Huai County King?

These three words caused Yun Che to quickly side-eye the person who spoke.

The ambitions of the Huai County King were known to the Demon Imperial City, and his methods were even more numerous, and could even be described as reckless, and did not seem to be afraid of being known by the Little Demon Empress, Yun Che had thought that this Huai County King would be a person who was flamboyant and unrestrained, but the person in front of him, who was shouted at by Yun Qinghong as the Huai County King, was smiling, and had a harmless, elegant and scholarly appearance, which made it impossible for people to connect him to a person with ambitions of usurping 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.

“Hahahahaha!” The King of Huai County laughed and walked over, “Big Brother Yun, it’s really been a long time. Two months ago suddenly heard that you and your sister-in-law’s body miraculously healed, this king was overjoyed, but to prepare for today’s ceremony, has not been able to spare the time to personally visit, is really ashamed to see the cloud big brother, I hope that the cloud big brother must not take offense.”

Two months ago, Yun Qinghong not only scolded his son Huiyi County King, but also personally shot the Rock Dragon Venerable One into a serious injury …… Today Rock Dragon Venerable One did not follow, it is estimated that without a small half a year is not to heal. At the same time, Huai Wang Fu let Helian family people to assassinate Xiao Yun and the world’s seventh thing has also been at that time nakedly exposed. But the King of Huai County saw the cloud light Hong, but these things are not mentioned, as if the pressure simply did not happen, to the cloud light Hong is “big brother” called, intimate simply like encountered for many years have not seen the life and death of a brother.

Good a smiling viper …… Yun Che secretly sneered.

“The County King of Huai has a good heart, I, Yun Mou, wouldn’t dare to take offense.” Yun Qinghong said in a salty manner.

“Hey!” County King Huai shook his hand and said with dissatisfaction, “This ‘County King Huai’ name of Big Brother Yun is also too raw, it’s still like before, just call Older Brother Huai. Whew, really miss the time when our brothers were drinking and having a good time, why don’t you …… after this grand ceremony, big brother Yun will be a guest at my king’s residence, and our brothers will have a good drink, how about it?”

“King Huai County’s good intentions are appreciated, but the wine is not necessary.” Yun Qinghong smiled faintly, “The person is the person of that year, but the intention is not the intention of that year, the flavor of the wine, naturally, has changed and become difficult to swallow, it is better not to drink.”

Yun Qinghong’s sarcasm, King Huai County is not angry at all: “Yun big brother is not angry with this king? Alas, it’s no wonder, this little rabbit cub of this king’s family also really doesn’t let people worry about …… night child, still don’t come over!”

County King Huiye stepped out from the back and stood to the side of County King Huai, and a touch of chilly gaze swept over Yun Che’s face. County King Huai said, “I heard that this incompetent son of this king even disrespected Big Brother Yun that day, alas, it’s really a disgrace to my King Huai’s House. Night son, why don’t you hurry up and apologize to your Uncle Yun!”

County King Huiye gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, “Uncle Yun, Huiye was unintelligent that day, please bear with me.”

Yun Qinghong accepted it peacefully, then faintly said, “Since you already know your faults, I won’t remember this junior’s grudge. King Huai County, that day I scolded your son and made him lose face under the crowd, Your Highness won’t mind, right?”

“Big brother Yun is not saying anything!” The King of Huai County waved his hand in a bold and unparalleled manner, “This incompetent son of mine has been acting recklessly all day long, with no respect for his elders, causing trouble everywhere, Big Brother Yun, as his senior, it is only natural to teach him a lesson, and I am too grateful to mind, so I wouldn’t mind it. Next time if this brat dares to disrespect you again, there is no need to waste words chastising him, just beat him half to death and throw him out.”

Yun Che: (huh da)

“Big brother, look at the person behind County King Huiye.” Xiao Yun came over and lowered his voice.

Yun Che side-eyed and looked behind the Huiyi County King, there stood a tall and robust young man, while Huiyi was still considered to be white and handsome, this young man had a face of horizontal meat, his eyes were like eagle hooks, and the muscles on his body were bulging high, and just by using his line of sight, he could feel how terrifying strength was hidden in each of those muscles.

Seemingly sensing Yun Che and Yun Xiao’s line of sight, the young man’s gaze shot violently, and after staring at Yun Che and Yun Xiao, he retracted it again, and a cold snort that was enough to be heard by anyone was emitted from his nose, and his gaze was even more contemptuous and disdainful to the extreme……. It was as if Yun Che and Xiao Yun didn’t even have the qualifications that would allow him to even give him more than a single glance.

“This person, is the eldest son of the King of Huai County – Hui Dye! The head of the Illusory Demon Seven Sons of this generation! Whether it is the Twelve Guardian Families or the Illusory Demon Royal Clan, there is not a single person under the age of thirty-five who is his opponent! Moreover, he has a very brutal temperament, and those who fought with him would be seriously injured in the lightest case, or die a horrible death in the heaviest case.” Xiao Yun said in a low voice, and from his voice, Yun Che heard a deep scorn.

Yun Che nodded slightly and stopped looking at him, and at that moment, he realized that the gaze of the King of Huai County suddenly fell on his own body.

“This one, could it be that righteous son that Big Brother Yun has taken in, according to the legend? If this king remembers correctly, the name should be …… Yun Che?” The King of Huai County said smilingly, his gaze sweeping from the top of Yun Che’s head to his feet before slowly nodding his head, “It is true that he has an extraordinary demeanor, and it is no wonder that the one who can be accepted as a righteous son by such a figure as Big Brother Yun, is not an ordinary person, and at the very least it looks like it may be even a little bit stronger than this biological son.”

Xiao Yun took a step forward and said without changing his face, “Big brother is indeed much more powerful than me, with an additional big brother like this as a role model, I am also confident that I will grow faster, or at least will not disgrace my parents.”

Yun Qinghong nodded slightly, his gaze filled with approval.

“Good, hahahahaha!!!” The King of Huai County laughed out loud before arching his hand towards Yun Qinghong, “I also forgot to congratulate Big Brother Yun on his joyous acquisition of a righteous son. But big brother Yun this righteous son can be really mysterious, this king these days would like to understand a little, but even with this king’s ears and eyes, but also even the slightest bit can not catch, really is to let the king rare curiosity ah.”

The King of Huai County said the matter of his investigation into Yun Che’s details just like that, without changing his color and without hiding it. After he finished speaking, he lowered his arm and said, “The grand ceremony is about to begin, so this king will take a step first, and in the future, if this king is graciously invited, I hope that big brother Yun will not excuse himself.”

“Let’s go.”

The County King of Huai revealed a meaningful smile to Yun Qinghong, and then he stepped towards the gate of the Demon Emperor Palace with large strides, and as he stepped one foot into the gate of the palace, he suddenly stopped again, looked ahead, turned his back to Yun Qinghong, and sighed, “Other than you, Yun Qinghong, there is no one amongst the twelve clans that this king is willing to call ‘Big Brother ‘ person. If I were to say that the person this king would least want to be an enemy, it would also be you, Yun Qinghong. Today, this king still calls you big brother Yun, after today, is big brother Yun willing to sit on an equal footing with this king, brother to brother, or …… huh, the result of everything is naturally decided by big brother.”

Huai County King’s words, let the people of the Yun family and Huai Wangfu all jaws in unison, the guards guarding the front of the palace gate for a while legs trembling, dead lowered their heads, pretending that they did not hear anything.

The King of Huai County let out a faint smile and stepped into the middle of the palace gates, with Kaguya and Kaguya following close behind.

“Father, why are you so polite to that Yun Qinghong? Even making the promise of being on equal footing after the deed is done? What qualifications does he have?” County King Huiye said with extreme puzzlement.

“Hehe,” County King Huai smiled faintly and said rather emotionally, “The Yun Qinghong you know has always been an invalid, but the Yun Qinghong before you were born was the real Yun Qinghong. If you had been born more than ten years earlier, you wouldn’t have asked this question. The first Demon Emperor gave Yun Canghai the name of ‘Demon King’ back then, and even allowed him to sit on an equal footing with himself, and the young Demon Emperor even took Yun Qinghong as his role model from a young age, and addressed him as his elder brother. Even your father I, back then, was also asked by your grandfather to aim for Yun Qinghong!”

“Ah ……” County King Kaguya froze there, half unable to speak.

“Hmph!!!” Hui Dye gave a disdainful grunt, “Father is overstating it, he’s even more powerful, at his age, he’s only a mid-range emperor at the end of the day, and how much of a threat can the Yun family increase by having such an additional mid-range emperor? Why does Father King need to use ‘equalizer’ to pull the strings!!!”

King Huai County was briefly silent and said, “It’s probably because his image in this king’s mind is too deep. Ben everything is ready, this king’s heart is certain of the extreme, but the moment he thinks that he has recovered, he is inexplicably uneasy …… This feeling makes this king unhappy to the extreme!”
