Chapter 542 – Conflict Begins
King Huai’s side, King Zhong saw the change in his expression and said with a faint smile, “I can see that you are genuinely scornful of Yun Qinghong, and frankly speaking, this is truly incomprehensible to me.”
“This king does not deny it.” King Huai County coldly said, “The times when this king was most at ease were those years when he was wasted. But he healed like that without any warning, it’s like suddenly sticking a thorn in this king’s heart …… This king feels that Yun Qinghong has already seen through what this king is planning to do at this grand ceremony, and when the time comes, he will definitely make a move.”
“Since you are so scornful of Yun Qinghong, you must know his disposition well. Then, with your knowledge of him, do you think that it is possible for him to fall to our side?” King Zhong asked in a slow voice.
King Huai County’s breath stuttered before he shook his head, “It is absolutely impossible.”
“Since we already know that it is absolutely impossible, why should we waste our feelings and hold on to this non-existent fluke to try to pull him in?”
King Huai was silent.
“If Your Highness King Huai is truly afraid that Yun Qinghong will do bad things, it’s quite simple.” The corner of King Zhong’s mouth tugged as he sneered, “Wouldn’t it be better to let him not even have the qualifications to open his mouth after a while?”
As soon as King Zhong uttered these words, King Huai instantly knew what he was going to do, and after a short silence, he slowly nodded his head.
With a smile, King Zhong’s gaze slanted and his lips moved slightly, condensing Xuanxuan into a sound towards a person at the edge of the seating area before giving him a color.
These matters reported by the lords were completely uninteresting to Yun Che, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked Yun Qinghong, “Father, back then, the seven guardian clans across the street that united to push for public opinion as well as pressurize the Little Demon Empress into severely punishing our Yun Family, should all have a part to play in this, right?”
Yun Qinghong did not say anything and slowly nodded his head.
Yun Che gazed with a frown, “During the Centennial Ceremony, the Guardian Families and the major royal families have a tradition of presenting their skills on stage and even competing, and this time will be even less of an exception. If I’m not wrong, the opposite county king will definitely take the initiative to bring up this matter with the help of a certain opportunity, and the method of the match, most likely, will also be the East Seat versus the West Seat.”
“King Huai will do so.” Yun Qinghong said calmly, “This kind of thing that can greatly frustrate the Little Demon Empress, as well as us forces that refuse to favor him, how could he not do it. Otherwise, it’s all sorry that he deliberately arranged this seat.”
“It depends on what reason he will use.”
Amidst the calmness of the wind and waves, an hour had already passed in the Grand Ceremony. This Grand Ceremony, according to the original plan, would be one that would last for at least three days and three nights, and it had only just begun.
At this time, the Zhennan King stationed at the southern border finished reporting on the centennial events and had just fallen, when in the corner of the east seat, a young county king whose status was basically at the bottom of the list suddenly stood up.
The Little Demon Empress glanced at him and faintly said, “County King Chu, do you have something to report?”
“Yes!” The person who was called “Chu County King” quickly left the table and moved forward, and when he spoke, his voice was obviously shaking, “There is a matter that has been held in Little King’s heart for a very long time, only that this matter is of great importance, and it may also lead to the displeasure of some of the adults, so Little King doesn’t know when to speak or not to speak.”
Little Demon Queen’s ink-colored pupils narrowed, her voice cold and stern, “Since you don’t know whether to speak or not, then don’t speak, stand down!”
“……” Chu County King as in the throat was suddenly stabbed with a knife, ready for half a day, about to export words can no longer say a word, a face suffocated red …… he said “I don’t know when to speak or not to speak”, just for his next words to do a buffer and cushion, he did not expect the little demon queen did not follow the trend to let him speak out, but instead a sentence to him dead.
His face twitched for a while, and he could only respond with a “yes”, and retreated in a sorry state.
“This fool!” In the center of the east seat, King Huai let out a cold snort.
At this time, a person not far to the right of the Chu County King’s seat stood up, looking at his dress, he was also one of the kings, he arched his hand and said with a high voice, “Enlighten the Little Demon Empress, the Little King also has something to say! This matter has been buried in Little King’s heart for a long time, and saying it out loud will cause some adults to be unhappy or even resentful, but this matter is related to my Illusory Demon Royal Clan’s reputation, and even the future of my Illusory Demon Realm, so Little King has to say it even if he is being resented.”
“Oh, really?” The Little Demon Empress’s pair of eyes were like the night sky dotted with stars, “Then this Empress would like to hear what King Xiang is talking about, what kind of big deal is it!”
Xiang Wang clenched his teeth slightly and said with a solemn face, “Little King implores Little Demon Empress to remove the Yun Family from the list of the Twelve Guardian Families and allow a more powerful and qualified force to take its place!”
“Wow…”
As soon as Xiang Wang’s words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, no one had expected that the “big event” in this Xiang Wang’s mouth would be so earth-shattering!
Twelve guardian family, is the year follow the great ancestor demon emperor unified phantom demon realm twelve families, is the entire phantom demon realm is the most peak, as the sacred place like the supreme existence, and the cloud family, in the past 10,000 years, is the twelve families of the first, but also the most important of the demon emperor a family, just suffered a hundred years ago Tianxuan disaster, in the last century fast decline just …… Although this item king is also a county king, but in the low status of the royal family, its royal power is not enough to compare with any of the twelve families, and now actually in front of the little demon queen, in front of the twelve families, in front of the world’s heroes, want the cloud family to withdraw from the twelve guardian families!
This was simply like throwing a thunderbolt out of thin air.
Little Demon Queen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, the cloud family up and down is even more furious, Yun Qinghong is not much reaction, but other people can not Yun Qinghong that calm, the great elder Yun Waitian suddenly stood up, do not care that this is the scene of the Grand Ceremony, directly cursed: “Bold fanatic, what are you, how dare to such a mouth crazy words!”
That Xiang Wang was unexpectedly calm, faintly saying, “Grand Elder Yun, please pay attention to your words, don’t let the world know that all of your Yun family members are of such a culmination.”
Yun Waitian laughed coldly, “Laozi’s culmination is only given to those whom Laozi looks up to, a dog that sees profit and forgets righteousness, abandons his ancestors and runs to listen to others’ orders, is not yet worthy of Laozi’s culmination.”
Yun Wai Tian’s sentence is really a vicious enough curse, Xiang Wang’s face which was originally still full of composure suddenly turned into a pig’s liver color, his lips are shivering with anger: “Yun Wai Tian …… you …… you… . you bully people too much!”
“It’s you who are deceiving people too much!”
“Alright, the two of you shouldn’t do this kind of verbal argument.” King Huai County stood up at this moment. The Yun Family, Mu Family, World, Speech Family, and Su Family were already extremely skeptical that this Xiang Wang’s sudden standing up and saying such shocking words must have been authorized by King Huai, and him standing up at this moment was even more conclusive.
King Huai didn’t wait for the Little Demon Empress to speak, and said smilingly, “Xiang Wang, the Yun Family has been one of the twelve guardian families of the successive Demon Emperors for ten thousand years, and it can be said that they have been highly meritorious and hardworking, and yet you suddenly reported the Little Demon Empress requesting that the Yun Family be taken out of the ranks of the Guardian Families, so you at least have to give enough reasons.”
Lord Xiang quickly said, “If Little King did not have sufficient reasons, how would he dare to speak rashly on such a great matter. And letting the Yun Family leave the list of the twelve families is not something that Little King alone thinks about, the people that Little King knows, eight out of ten . Nine also agree! The reasons, naturally, are more than sufficient, and every one of them is known throughout the world.”
King Huai stood up to support his back, this king’s backbone was undoubtedly several times stronger, and he eloquently said, “As the Demon Emperor’s twelve guardian clans, the least we should have is a strong enough strength! At the very least, it should also possess a Senior Imperial Monarch that is invincible to the world! Back then, the Yun Family had the most Senior Imperial Monarchs amongst the Twelve Guardian Families, and none of the other families were comparable. However, a hundred years ago, all eleven Senior Imperial Monarchs of the Yun Family perished in the Tianxuan Continent! The current Yun Family didn’t even have a single Senior Imperial Monarch! The strongest person in the entire family, Supreme Elder Yun Jiang, is only at the sixth level of the Jun Xuan realm.”
“The world knows that the mark of the topmost power in the Illusory Demon Realm is having a Senior Imperial Monarch, but the Yun Family already has none! Such a Yun Family is no longer even considered a top power, so what qualifications does it have to be ranked among the twelve guardian families directly under the Little Demon Empress? What ability is there to guard the Demon Emperor lineage?”
“This is a poor statement.” King Huai shook his head, “The great calamity of the Yun Family a hundred years ago was only a consequence of Demon King Yun Canghai’s impulsive actions, although the Yun Family does not have any senior emperors at the moment, with the Yun Family’s heritage, given enough time, perhaps there will be in the future.”
“No! Never!” Xiang Wang shook his head categorically, “What determines the future of a family is the strength of that family’s younger generation! However, amongst the Demon Emperor City, who doesn’t know that the Yun Family’s current younger generation is simply weak! The Hegemonic Emperors under the age of thirty, add up to less than five, and the highest strength is only the middle stage of the second level of the Hegemonic Xuan Realm……. Oh, I heard that there was a Cloud Heart Moon that was still passable, but unfortunately, he has died a violent death.”
“Such a Yun Family, what future is there? What other qualifications are there to occupy the position of guardian? If such a family can guard the Demon Emperor, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for the Demon Emperor lineage and a disgrace to the world!”
“Shut up!!!” At the mention of “Yun Xin Yue”, Yun Waitian was as if a knife had been inserted into his heart, his body shaking with anger: “The reason why the younger generation of my Yun family is weak is not because they were backstabbed by some traitors and forced to bear the heavy guilt, otherwise, with the heritage of my Yun family, and with the Xuan Gang’s power of my Yun family, it will never be weaker than anyone else! ”
Lord Xiang sneered, “Grand Elder Yun’s words are a reminder to this king. That’s right, Grand Elder Yun’s words are the second reason! That is the Yun Family’s sin!”
The Xiang King pointed his finger at the Yun Family’s seating area and rebuked loudly, “The Little Demon Empress has been on the throne for a full hundred years, yet she is still unable to receive the Golden Crow Inheritance in the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley……. What is the reason for this! Does your Yun Family not know!”
“You!!!” Yun Wai Tian’s body shook violently, this was his Yun Family’s greatest weakness, even though he was extremely angry, he was speechless. Because a hundred years ago the Demon Emperor Seal was lost because of the Yun Family, the Reincarnation Mirror was also lost because of the Yun Family …… This is an irrefutable fact.
“Your Yun family lost the Demon Emperor Seal, making the Little Demon Empress unable to let the Golden Crow bloodline awaken and obtain supreme divine power …… all thanks to your Yun family! Reincarnation mirror is too ancestral demon emperor passed down the heaven and earth treasure, the first demon emperor of your cloud family trust, handed over to your cloud family to guard, you give lost …… and lost in the Tianxuan continent, the land of this mortal enemy! You are not only sorry for the first Demon Emperor, sorry for the Little Demon Empress …… but also sorry for the ancestors of the Demon Emperor lineage!”
“Such a strength, such a heaven and earth common indignation of the heinous crime, the little demon queen but let you continue to retain the name of the guardian family for a whole hundred years has been benevolent and righteous! But you, the Yun family, ask yourself what other abilities, qualifications, and faces you have to continue to stay in this guardian position!!!”
This Xiang Wang’s words were very sharp, his tone was indignant and impassioned, and his sentences hit the key points, making the world’s group of heroes in the great hall have a heavier and heavier sense of recognition along with his words, and it was no wonder that the King of Huai would allow him to take the lead.
Clapping ……
A clapping sound rang out as King Zhong clapped his hands and stood up while saying with a grave expression on his face, ”King Xiang, that was really well said! The Yun Family’s deep sins and great decline in strength, this matter is known to the whole world, but for it to still remain amongst the Guardian Families, this King did not think anything of it at first, but after listening to King Xiang’s words, this King is like hearing the twilight drums and morning bells. Indeed, with the cloud family’s strength today, and the great crime it committed, must not continue to serve as a guardian of the responsibility, otherwise, it is really even the face of the royal family, the majesty of the loss, so that the world shame! With the Yun family’s crime, the Little Demon Empress is only cutting off its resources for a hundred years, which is really too merciful, and driving out the Demon Emperor City on this is not even too much!”
