“The Void Demonic Cauldron is the psychic treasure of my Huangfu Family. The crown prince it chooses must be a direct blood relative of my Huangfu Family. Tell me where are you from!” Huangfu Yong frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
“Sir Demon Emperor, although I’m the master of the Qing Family of Zang State, I’m not actually born in the Thousands Demons Continent, but a descendant of a demon race senior who was stranded in another continent…” Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then he told what he previously said to the Qing Family.
After listening to Liu Ming’s words, Huangfu Yong had a thoughtful look for a while without talking.
“Sir Demon Emperor, I did not intend to interfere with the crown prince’s selection. Please forgive me.” Liu Ming’s face looked uncertain, and then he suddenly bowed.
“Hmph! You may be unintentional, but this matter has been seen by many family masters. Although I have declared the selection invalid, this has greatly disgraced my Huangfu Family.” Huangfu Yong snorted and said.
Liu Ming didn’t answer.
“The matter is now over. Since you are Ying’er’s future husband, for Ying’er’s sake, I will temporarily note your crime of disrupting the crown prince election. You will stay in Central Imperial City from today on. One month later, you will be following the Imperial Army to quell the rebellion of the Liu Family. If you can make a contribution in the war, I will forgive your sin.” Huangfu Yong said coldly.
“Yes.” Liu Ming clasped his fist in agreement.
“Okay, you go down.” Huangfu Yong waved his hand and stood with his hands behind his back, no longer looking at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming agreed and quickly exited Kunxin Hall.
After Liu Ming left, Demon Emperor was looking at the entrance with a blank face. No one knew what he was thinking.
“How credible do you think this man’s words are?” Huangfu Yong said suddenly.
“This man has an extraordinary mental strength. Although his expression didn’t reveal any clue, the slight fluctuations in his soul still exposed him. According to my estimate, I’m afraid that 60% of what he said is a lie.” Behind Huangfu Yong, a wave of ripple emerged silently, then a black figure emerged and said in a cold tone. He was shrouded in a black mist, covering his face.
The black-robed man exuded a cold aura. He was also a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse.
Huangfu Yong smiled faintly, turned around, and looked at the black figure.
“Your mental storm mystic art has made great progress recently. I’m afraid you have surpassed Elder Zhantian.” Huangfu Yong said faintly.
“Since you have discovered that there is something wrong with that kid, why don’t you capture him?” The black-robed man was not happy because of Huangfu Yong’s appreciation. His tone was as cold as ever.
“When this man was taken away by the Void Demonic Cauldron that day, I sensed that the aura on his body was very similar to that of Huangfu Tian.” Huangfu Yong’s eyes flashed slightly as he said.
“What! Are you sure?” The black-robed man was shocked.
“Originally I was a little unsure, but when I saw the true demon imprint that appeared on his forehead when he just performed True Demon Infusion, it was 70% similar to Huangfu Tian. According to his words, he is most likely Huangfu Tian’s direct descendant on another continent. Not only his blood is pure, but his Divine Thought is also superior, so he was selected by the Void Demonic Cauldron.” Huangfu Yong said movingly.
“In that case, why did you let him go?” The black-robed man seemed confused.
“Although it was a mistake, he and Ying’er had already consummated after all. I heard Yu Po say that Ying’er seems to have feelings for him. I owed Ying’er’s mother a lot, so for the sake of Ying’er, I’ll let him live for now. Huangfu Tian has disappeared for so many years, and now he finally revealed some clues. If we capture Liu Ming directly, it will be even harder to find Huangfu Tian.” Huangfu Yong sighed first Take a breath. Then he said with a cold look in his eyes.
“Sir has great foresight.” The black-robed man said in a low voice.
“Since Liu Ming appeared here, I’m afraid it was because of Huangfu Tian’s instruction. I would like you to secretly monitor Liu Ming and try to find traces of Huangfutian. If we find that this man is really a descendant of Huangfutian, we will make a plan by then.” Huangfu Yong said with a cold voice.
“Yes.” The black-robed man affirmed and disappeared.
Huangfu Yong stood with his hands behind his hands and looked toward the front of the hall with a sneer. Then, he seemed to remember something. He released a purple light from his sleeve, which turned out to be the Void Demonic Cauldron.
Huangfu Yong chanted a few spells and launched a symbol into the cauldron. A purple book emerged on the cauldron after a flash of purple light. Liu Ming’s name was written at the end of the book.
Huangfu Yong’s eyes shot 2 rays of purple light onto the book.
The light on the book flickered, but apart from Liu Ming’s name, there was no other abnormality.
Huangfu Yong was relieved, then he spurted a stream of purple flames to burn Liu Ming’s name.
In the purple flames, Liu Ming’s name seemed to be gradually being refined. The color became darker.
A trace of satisfaction showed in Huangfu Yong’s eyes, then he launched a symbol and retrieved the purple cauldron together with the purple flames back into his body.
Huangfu Yong left the hall after that.
…
After Liu Ming left Kunxin Hall, he flew outside of Imperial City.
He had been to the palace twice, so was familiar with the place. A moment later, his figure appeared in the Genix Garden.
In the Genix Garden, the liveliness and clamor due to the ceremony before had long gone. The entire garden was quiet. Almost no one could be seen.
Liu Ming landed in the small courtyard where the Qing Family lived.
“Fa… Family Master is back!”
As soon as Liu Ming landed, Qing Yu flew out of a room and said with joy when he saw Liu Ming. The other people also rushed out after hearing the news.
When everyone saw Liu Ming coming back, they looked happy.
“Family Master, the ceremony has been over for 3 days. Where have you been these past few days?” Qing Yu said with a frown.
“I had an urgent matter, so I didn’t have time to contact you.” Liu Ming felt relieved when he saw Qing Yu and others were there.
Naturally, he would not tell Qing Yu and others about the Void Demonic Cauldron.
As soon as Liu Ming came back, the Qing Family’s people were at ease.
“It’s fine as long as you come back. People of the other aristocratic families have basically left in the past few days. When will we leave the Imperial City and return to our family?” Qing Yu asked again.
Although Qing Yu and others had gained a lot in the prosperous Central Imperial City, they also felt a little restrained by the unfathomable power of Central Imperial City. They were far less secure and carefree than when they were in their family, so everyone was eager to return.
“I was ordered by the Central Imperial to follow the Imperial Army to quell the Liu Family rebels, so I cannot return to the family for the time being. Give this to Qing Elder Gu, let him continue to manage the family’s affairs.” As Liu Ming said, he handed a green talisman and a storage bracelet to Qing Yu while giving instructions.
This storage bracelet contained some rare treasures that he had previously collected in the Demon Abyss and other places. He originally planned to take them out gradually to develop the Qing Family. Now the plan had changed, and the development of the Qing Family was now on the right track, it was better to hand them over in advance.
Hearing this, Qing Yu and others couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay.
Although Liu Ming had made great contributions to the Qing Family, his habit of not being in the family most of the time really made people speechless.
“As Famil Master orders.” Qing Yu quickly took the talisman and storage and said.
“Although it is unlikely that you will encounter any danger on the way back, I will give you this Disk Demonic Talisman. After injecting spiritual power into it, it will allow you to exert the power of the Celestial State in a short time. However, it can only be used three times. Use it wisely.” Liu Ming handed a gray talisman to Qing Yu.
“Thank you, Family Master.” Qing Yu took the talisman in joy and bowed to Liu Ming.
The rest looked at Qing Yu with envy, but Qing Yu was the strongest among them, so no one was jealous.
“By the way, please tell Qing Gu that since I’m going to the battlefield, the Qing Family doesn’t have to dispatch any disciples to join the Alliance. I will explain this matter to the Central Imperial.” Liu Ming instructed again.
“Yes, Family Master, I will definitely convey this to Elder Qing Gu.” Qing Yu nodded vigorously.
After Liu Ming warned Qing Yu and others, Qing Yu and others left Genix Garden and flew away from the Imperial City.
Liu Ming saw them off. With the Disk Demonic Talisman, they should be safe on the way back.
He immediately looked in the direction of the palace and shook his head after a moment, then he returned to his room in a flash.
His nerves had been tense these past few days, so he needed a good rest.
…
At this moment, in a secret realm in Demon Emperor Palace.
There were green mountains and clear waters. The weather was like spring. Various plants and flowers bloom all over the mountainside. The scenery was picturesque.
Surrounded by countless mountains, a lake with an area of several thousand acres was as smooth as a mirror. In the center of the lake, an antique octagonal viewing pavilion was suspended. It was the secret realm opened by Huangfu Yupo.
At this moment, Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Yupo were sitting opposite each other, sipping tea.
“Although there was an accident in the crown prince election, the Central Imperial successfully formed an alliance with the 3 great families. The rebellion will be put down soon. Ying’er, this is all thanks to your water mirror technique to record the Liu Family’s evil deeds.” Huangfu Yupo put down the teacup in her hand and said to Zhao Qianying with a smile.
