Chapter 581: The Wrath of the Crowd
The faces of the seven family heads were gloomy, but after half a day, none of them moved forward, not even one of them spoke …… being forced into this field by Yun Che, if they were to publicly kneel down and ask for forgiveness from Yun Canghai, that would undoubtedly be bowing down to the entire Yun Family, but if they were to refuse, that would be just the right time to hit the big sh*t that Yun Che was withholding from them, and they might even get involved in the family! Stinking throughout the entire Illusory Demon Realm, between their dilemma, they were all waiting for someone else to step forward, but after holding back for half a day, there was no one who stepped forward, and the scene was so unbearable and awkward that it made even their intestines twitch.
“Heh heh heh ……” Yun Che looked at them and laughed coldly in mockery, “As expected, my words have already been said bluntly enough, and the grudges and rights and wrongs of this, I also think that I have listed them clearly enough, but even so, this But even so, the seven Guardian Family Heads are actually so indifferent! All of you here are the lords, overlords, powerhouses, and rising stars of the younger generation from all over the Illusory Demon Realm, the pillars of the Illusory Demon Realm’s past, present, and future, and the Demon Emperor City is the most important core of the entire Illusory Demon Realm. This Demon Empress Grand Ceremony, it is worthwhile for you to come, because I believe that by this moment, each and every one of you should have completely seen what has gone wrong at the core of the Demon Emperor City! You should have completely seen who’s right and who’s wrong, who’s loyal and who’s treacherous, as well as who deserves the title of ‘Guardian Family’, and who, on the other hand, is a tumor that should be weeded out!”
In the middle of the great hall, Yun Che’s voice echoed and shook. His words were so blunt that they were a million times sharper than a knife. Even the Little Demon Empress would never say such words so bluntly, because what it was targeting were the seven peaks of the Illusory Demon Realm, and moving one of them would be enough to shake the Illusory Demon Realm, not to mention pointing directly at the seven clans.
On any other occasion, Yun Che would not have roared out such words, because it was actually an extremely unwise move. But here and now, he roared without any hesitation, and his voice was deafening, hating the fact that the entire Demon Emperor City could hear it clearly.
Yun Che’s words made quite a few people tremble with fear, indeed, by now, people were already clear enough to see everything, and even so, how many people dared to give a positive response against the might of the seven guardian clans……. However, as soon as Yun Che’s voice had fallen, a pale roar with excitement rang out from the back of the seating area.
“Well said!”
This pale voice from the rear caused everyone to be astonished, and the Seven Family Heads even had their gazes condensed as they all looked towards the source of the voice. And at that moment, the old man who had issued the voice had already flown up and floated down to Yun Che’s side.
This old man was dressed in a simple gray robe, his hair and beard were all snow-white, and his face was etched with signs of age, even his waist was slightly stooped. Seeing that it was actually this old man, low cries rose up in the great hall, and many people directly shouted out his name in astonishment ……
In this Demon Emperor’s hall where the heroes of the Illusory Demon Realm were gathered, the hegemon of a region could only be reduced to mediocrity in it.
But this old man was definitely not!
Because he was the domain lord of the Heavenly Demon Domain, the number one city domain in the Illusory Demon Realm other than the Demon Emperor City, Qin Zheng. This year, he was already over 1,400 years old, and in terms of his seniority, he was even higher than the first Demon Emperor! He was already the Heavenly Demon Domain Master when the First Demon Emperor ascended the throne a thousand years ago, and he still is today! He was also the only one among all the people present who had experienced the three Demon Emperors. In terms of his seniority, there was no one else in the Hall of Demon Emperors.
Qin Zheng’s temperament was notoriously rigid, and after serving as the Heavenly Demon Domain Lord for a thousand years, he had a very high prestige in the Heavenly Demon Domain and even the entire Illusory Demon Realm. Even the first Demon Emperor was respectful and courteous to him, and the Little Demon Empress was naturally even more so. What’s more, he was one of only a few characters outside the Demon Emperor City who had the capital to call the shots with the Guardian Family.
It was just that Qin Zheng’s usual impression had always been one of calmness and composure, and no one had expected that he would let out a roar and fly forward today.
“Domain Lord Qin?” The Little Demon Empress looked at him with an astonished gaze, a few points of respect that rarely appeared between her brows.
Qin Zheng took a step forward and attached himself to pay his respects, “The old minister has offended, so please ask the Little Demon Empress to redeem herself. It’s just that as a Phantom Demon vassal, there are some things that the old minister has to do and some things that he has to say.”
After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and knelt down on one knee in front of Yun Canghai’s remains, saying in a shameful voice, “Old me, Qin Zheng, I have come here today to apologize to the Demon King!”
Yun Che hurriedly moved forward, reaching out to try and help him up, “Old senior, what are you ……”
Qin Zheng waved his hand, still kneeling on the ground, forcefully refusing to stand up, “A hundred years ago, a Guardian Family Head went out of his way to travel ten thousand miles in person to find the old immortal and tell him about the Demon King’s sins, and asked him to drive the entire Heavenly Demon Region to condemn the Demon King, so as to put pressure on the Little Demon Empress to heavily reprimand the Cloud Family for making a monstrous mistake, or else the Illusory Demon will definitely be in chaos … …In vain, I have lived for more than a thousand years, but I have been easily blinded by the mind’s eye, chastising the Demon King for a whole hundred years, not only destroying the Demon King’s prestige in the Heavenly Demon Region, but also molding him into an ancient sinner who has almost destroyed the future of the Illusory Demon Realm ……”
“I’m ashamed of the Demon King, the former Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Empress, the Yun Family, the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the people of the world!!!”
Qin Zheng’s voice was filled with pathos and remorse, he wasn’t pretending, the emotion in every word came from the bottom of his heart, causing people’s hearts to tremble at the sound of it, and by the end of his words, a pair of old eyes were already hidden in tears.
Yun Che squatted down and gratefully said, “Old senior, you don’t need to blame yourself, after all, you didn’t know the complete truth back then, coupled with the incitement and compulsion of certain villains ……”
“No!” Qin Zheng shook his head, “Wrong is wrong. It’s only right for the old immortal to kneel here for ten years to the Demon King’s heroic soul.” He looked towards Yun Che, and suddenly raised his hand in a serious bow, “Child, I really have to thank you properly, if not for you letting me see the truth, and letting me still have the chance to make amends and change my ways, after I am in the ground, how can I still have the face to see the Demon King, how can I still have the face to meet the first Demon Emperor!”
Yun Che hurriedly held Qin Zheng’s arm and said, “Old senior, you can’t do this, I am a junior, how can I be able to accept such a great gift from senior. Not only is senior a righteous person, but he also has a broad mind like the sea, even though there was a hundred years of mistakes, I believe that there is certainly no malice in it, and the spirit of the former Demon Emperor and Grandpa in heaven will never blame senior for half of it.”
Qin Zheng looked at Yun Che and nodded his head delightedly, “Worthy of being the grandson of a Demon King, I have seen countless young talents in my life, but none of them can compare to you. Frankly speaking, the old immortal has been deeply worried about the future fate of the Illusory Demon Realm for the past hundred years, but, now that the Demon Emperor’s Seal has returned, and my Illusory Demon Realm has seen the emergence of a descendant such as you, who makes even the old immortal’s heart fold in submission, the old immortal’s heart is already at peace even if I go into the ground right away.”
Yun Che shook his head and said, “Evening senior cannot deserve such praise from senior ……”
“No, you deserve it.”
A voice like thunder came from the air, and a stout, black-bearded man landed on Qin Zheng’s side, directly kneeling down on one knee towards Yun Canghai’s remains, “Nanyang City Lord, Lei Yunjian, has come here to apologize to the Demon King! All my life, I, Lei, have boasted that I am not worthy of heaven and earth, but today, I realize that I, Lei Yunjian, have simply had no eyes to see in these hundred years, and I am worse than a pig or a dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Just as Yun Che was about to speak, several silhouettes swept up from the sky at the same time and landed in front of Yun Canghai’s remains, all of them directly kneeling on the ground ……
“Southern Frontier Commander Zhao Zhengzhi, come to make amends to the Demon King ……”
“Yellow Wind Domain Lord Ouyang Xian to make amends to Demon King senior …… Thinking back on what he has said and done in these hundred years, he is ashamed to die ……”
“Jiangbei Domain Lord Shan Haokong, ashamed of the Demon King …… ashamed of the first Demon Emperor …… this hundred years, really blind, blinded ah!”
“…………”
Since the beginning of the Heavenly Demon Domain Lord Qin Zheng, more and more left their seats and knelt in front of Yun Canghai’s remains, bowing down to him in repentance and asking for forgiveness. From one person, to ten people, to a hundred people, to a thousand people, to ten thousand people ……
Short less than a quarter of an hour, this is a seatless demon emperor hall, the seat is actually empty a piece and a piece, and the center of the hall after the small demon opened up the confrontation ground, was a wave after wave of the crowd completely occupied, all of them facing the remains of Yun Canghai body, kneeling down on one knee ……
Such a scene was unforeseen by all.
A loyal and righteous, for the demon emperor world to give everything and even the life of the demon king, this hundred years but they were treated as a sinner who committed a heinous crime, I do not know how many times the mockery and insults, and will be the charge of driving walks to the whole of their own control of the field …… Today know the truth, and witnessed the remains of the demon king, but wherever a bit of conscience and shame, will be ashamed and remorseful to the extreme.
But and the cloud family has clearly become hostile situation of the seven families in front, even if their hearts shame and hate thousands, and how would anyone dare to show in public, let alone take the initiative to the remains of the Demon King repentance …… But with Qin Zheng the first to stand out, the situation will instantly change. More and more people followed, and later on, those who didn’t go forward to confess their sins instead became an anomaly, sitting there all uncomfortable, as if surrounded by sarcastic and low-sighted gazes …… In the end, not only the city lords, domain lords, and chieftains of all parties, but even those hegemons of all major powers, also knelt down to the remains of Yuncanghai’s body before The scene, completely and utterly out of control.
The scene was completely out of control. King Huai stood there, his face as stiff as a corpse, yet his body was constantly shaking. Before the Demon Queen Ceremony, he thought that everything was under his control, but because of a Yun Che, every step, are completely out of his control, all of it, are towards the most unfavorable direction for him, even he could not even dream of it …… As a side of the regional hegemony, they can make the Illusory Demon Realm are to condemn the sound of the Demon King and the Yun family Naturally, they could also make the Illusory Demon Realm all be praising the Demon King and the Voice of the Yun Family! Moreover, due to the hundred years of guilt and remorse, the reputation of both the Yun Canghai and the Yun Family will not only be quickly restored, but will also most likely rebound several times over, and at that time, just the world’s support for the Yun Family will be enough to keep the Yun Family standing.
All the people of the Yun family were already in tears, Yun Qinghong got up and slowly arched his hand, “Yun Qinghong …… thanked all of you.”
Qin Zheng raised his head and said despondently, “We are only confessing and repenting for the big mistake we made, even if the Yun family master blames and scolds us, it’s all natural and right, so how can we talk about thanking you. Rather, it’s ……”
Qin Zheng suddenly turned around and looked at the seven family lords standing there, his gaze becoming cold and stern all of a sudden: “Helian Madness, back then, the person who personally found me and asked me to drive the Heavenly Demon Region to put pressure on the Little Demon Empress was you! The one who incited public opinion on a large scale in the Heavenly Demon Region was also your Helian Family! At that time, I was naive enough to think that your Helian Clan was trying to balance the hearts of the people by heavily blaming the Yun Family, for the sake of the overall situation of the Illusory Demon Realm, but from what I have heard and seen today, you, the Helian Clan, are clearly deliberately slandering the Yun Family and the Demon King for your own selfish reasons!”
“Now that the truth has been revealed and the Demon King’s remains are here, you Helian clan should clearly be the most deserving of bowing down to the Demon King and recognizing your mistakes …… Why are you still standing there and doing nothing about it!”
“And you …… your seven family heads have all personally admitted before that a hundred years ago in the Illusory Demon Realm jointly spread the demon king’s sins, letting the world condemn the demon king. You are the culprits who caused a generation of martyrs to be denigrated for a hundred years, why do you refuse to even admit your mistakes and repent in the face of this Demon King’s remains! Although we have made a big mistake, we still know how to repent after knowing our mistakes, is it possible that you, the Guardian Family, don’t even have this kind of demeanor?
“Your Guardian Family is as powerful as the sky, no one dares to mess with it. But if you don’t make amends to the Demon King today, I will not only look down on you from now on, but also let the entire Heavenly Demon Region recognize your actions! I’m already half in the ground and I’m not afraid of your retaliation!”
Qin Zheng’s words were as thunderous and furious, blasting straight at Helian Madness and the other seven family lords. As soon as his voice fell, an old man beside Qin Zheng also shouted loudly, “Old me agrees with what Domain Lord Qin said! If you guys don’t make amends to the Demon King today, you’re disgracing your family’s ten thousand years of prestige!!!”
