Yun Che looked up and saw a purple light rising into the sky from a place in the northeast of the city. However, this purple light was a bit weak. If you didn't pay attention, you might even ignore it.
"What is that purple light?" Yun Che asked.
Yun Xiao's expression dimmed slightly and he said: "It's the light from our Yun family's ancestral monument. Our Yun family practices thunder-based mysterious skills. When the mysterious energy is released, it appears purple. The stronger the mysterious force, the deeper the purple. And...
Brother Yun, have you heard of Xuangang?"
Yun Che nodded: "I know, it is the unique bloodline ability of the Yun family, right?"
"Hmm." When he mentioned Xuangang, Yun Xiao's face clearly flashed with sadness, and he continued: "The most extreme state of Xuangang is purple, so purple has always been the most sacred to the Yun family.
The color of the Yun family. In the Yun family, every Yun family disciple must release all their profound energy to the ancestral stele once every year on their birthday, so that the ancestral stele always releases purple profound light. I heard from my father that a hundred years ago, the Yun family was at its peak.
At that time, the light of the ancestral stele shone in the sky of half of the Demon Imperial City for a long time, but now... As you can see, it is so weak that it is almost undetectable. And the weakening of the purple light on the ancestral stele has finally
This directly reflects the substantial weakening of the Yun family’s comprehensive strength…”
"The demon king's life and death are unknown, so the blow to the Yun family can be so severe?" Yun Che said in surprise.
"If it were just my grandfather whose life and death were unknown, of course it wouldn't be like this. There are many, many things involved..." Yun Xiao's expression darkened.
Yun Che was silent for a while, slowed down his flying speed, and said: "Yun Xiao, can you tell me in detail the reasons for the decline of the Yun family? After all, my surname is Yun, so I am very curious... Of course, if it is inconvenient,
If so, forget it."
Yun Xiao shook his head: "There is nothing inconvenient about this, because in the Illusory Demon Realm, this is not a secret at all. You can find out casually. If Brother Yun wants to know, of course I have no reason to hide it."
Yun Xiao raised his head slightly, with a slightly sentimental look on his face: "A hundred years ago, the Yun family was indeed very prosperous. Because of the ability to use Xuan Gang, the position of the head of the twelve guardian families has never been shaken. It can be said that in the entire illusory demon world, except for
The Illusory Demon Royal Family...that is, the Demon Emperor clan protected by the twelve families, is the Yun family. The Yun family has been loyal to the Illusory Demon Royal Family for generations, and the Illusory Demon Royal Family has always valued and trusted the Yun family the most, even the most important treasure of the Illusory Demon Royal Family
——The Mirror of Reincarnation was also given to the Yun family to protect... In my grandfather's generation, my grandfather and the Demon Emperor were not only a monarch and minister, but also grew up together and experienced together. They were the best of friends. It was no exaggeration.
Friendship between life and death. Our Yun family is a human race, but my grandfather was named the 'Demon King' by the Demon Emperor. The implicit metaphor is that he can be on an equal footing with the Demon Emperor. This is a great honor for the entire Yun family, and it is the other eleven
It is a privilege that the guardian family cannot even envy."
"However, more than two hundred years ago, a force from another continent suddenly broke in. Those people came from a place called Tianxuan Continent. They seemed to have used some method to build a sea that could travel millions of miles.
Teleportation array to reach the Illusory Demon Realm, and their arrival is not just a visit, but a naked invasion. They don’t know where they learned that our Demon Emperor clan in the Illusory Demon Realm possesses a Xuantian treasure that is so powerful that it can defy the heavens.
, so they wanted to rob each other. Each of them was extremely powerful, and every time they came, they brought with them powerful escape weapons. The Demon Imperial City was invaded again and again but there was nothing they could do. In the past hundred years, they invaded the two
More than ten times, a hundred years ago, the Demon King finally couldn't bear it any longer. After they invaded again, he chased them in anger until he reached the teleportation formation used by those people. On impulse, he rushed into the teleportation formation that the other party had not had time to cancel.
The teleportation array was teleported to the Tianxuan Continent along with the other party, and soon after, news came that the Demon Emperor had died in the Tianxuan Continent... and there has been no news since."
Yun Che: "..."
"Each of those intruders are terrifyingly powerful. Although the Demon Emperor is powerful, he will only die in the enemy's land. The Demon Emperor family has also accepted this fact. However, my grandfather has always been unwilling to do so.
I believed that the Demon Emperor was dead. Later, Grandpa used the Yun family’s secret weapon to forcibly cut a space passage to Tianxuan Continent, and then ignored everyone’s dissuasion and took the ten strongest elders of the family with him.
, went to Tianxuan Continent to look for the Demon Emperor."
"The ten strongest elders?" Yun Che was slightly surprised.
"Yeah." Yun Xiao nodded: "Including grandpa, they were the eleven strongest seniors of the Yun family at that time. But after that, they never came back. It wasn't until a few months later that there was news from Tianxuan Continent
The news said that grandpa was captured alive and that our Yun family was asked to exchange his life for the Demon Emperor's treasure that has been guarded for generations. However, more people thought that grandpa was dead. People in Tianxuan Continent said that grandpa was imprisoned just to
Deceive the Yun family to take the bait."
Yun Che: "..."
"The Yun family lost its eleven strongest core members, and the top level strength suddenly dropped to the weakest of the twelve families. The most serious thing is that when grandpa went to Tianxuan Continent, he carried the Demon King's Seal of the Illusory Demon Royal Family with him.
, the Demon Emperor's Seal is more important to the Illusory Demon Royal Family than the treasure of the Mirror of Reincarnation, and is related to the inheritance ceremony before the Demon Emperor succeeds to the throne. After that, they all said that Grandpa not only ruined himself in impulse, but also lost it
The most important thing of the Demon Royal Family...and this heinous crime has to be borne by the entire Yun family. The Yun family was punished. Not only did the resources they received every year drop by 50%, but they were also prohibited from entering the 'Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley' for a hundred years."
"Resources have been reduced, and even the best places for experience and adventure cannot be entered. The impact on the previous generation can be said to be small, but the impact on the younger generation is extremely huge. This also makes the new generation of disciples of the Yun family stronger.
It is far inferior to other guardian families, and even the power of Xuangang cannot make up for it."
"Shortly after the Demon Emperor and Grandpa's accident, the Illusory Demon Royal Family had to re-establish a new Demon Emperor. So, the Demon Emperor's only son succeeded to the throne... However, since there was no Demon Emperor's Seal, the succession could not be carried out, so there was no '
Golden Crow Divine Seal', so he was destined not to become the real Demon Emperor, and could only be called the 'Little Demon Emperor'... The day after the Little Demon Emperor succeeded to the throne, he married the Little Demon Queen, but no one
Thinking of it, on the wedding night, the Little Demon Emperor did not return to the new house... The Little Demon Emperor left a handwriting saying that he had not avenged his father and had no face to get married. He also said that if he did not come back within three years, the Little Demon Queen would
Became the Emperor of Illusory Demons... However, less than ten days later, news came from Tianxuan Continent that the Little Demon Emperor was dead."
Yun Che: "..."
In Tianxuan Continent, the Four Holy Lands are extremely sacred existences. According to legend, they guard the entire Tianxuan Continent, isolating crises from other continents, especially resisting the "eager" and "ambitious" Illusory Demon Realm.
According to the legends of the Tianxuan Continent, the Illusory Demon Realm is an extremely terrifying and vicious place that wants to annex the Tianxuan Continent at any time... The people in the Illusory Demon Realm are all called evil "monsters".
But what Yun Che heard at this time was completely opposite to those rumors in Tianxuan Continent.
The evil is not the illusory demon world that is constantly being vilified, but those holy places in the name of sanctity and protection...
"What happened next?" Yun Che asked sadly.
Yun Xiao continued: "Later, the Little Demon Queen succeeded to the throne and became the new Emperor of Illusory Demons. Later... our Yun family suffered another huge blow, because there were constant rumors from Tianxuan Continent that my grandfather was not dead.
, but the news of being imprisoned. Twenty-five years ago, my father finally couldn't bear it anymore. He and his mother activated the secret weapon again and quietly went to Tianxuan Continent to find grandpa. At that time, I was not born yet...
…Three years later, my parents finally came back. Although they came back alive, they were all seriously injured. And because they had been on the run for a long time, they had no time to take care of their injuries. As a result, all the meridians in their bodies were damaged, and their black energy was basically completely useless.
I was also born in Tianxuan Continent by accident, and my parents took me to escape... and then brought me back safely to the Illusory Demon Realm."
Having said this, Yun Xiao lowered his head to prevent Yun Che from seeing the strange look in his eyes, and then lowered his voice and continued: "The strong men of the Yun family have already withered away. After the parents died, the strength of the Yun family was once again affected.
It was a big blow. And the most serious thing was that when their parents went to Tianxuan Continent, they took with them the most precious treasure that was guarded by the Illusory Demon Royal Family - the Mirror of Reincarnation. Although they returned to the Illusory Demon Realm... they lost the Mirror of Reincarnation.
The Yun family was responsible for the crime of losing the Demon Emperor's Seal. As a result, the crime was increased by one degree and they received a heavier punishment. The resources they received every year were reduced by 90%, and they were also permanently prohibited from entering the 'Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley'. The Phantom Demon Royal Family was greatly affected by this.
Out of anger, they even want to drive our Yun family out of the twelve guardian families."
"Since it is such an important thing, when they go to Tianxuan Continent, they should be aware of the dangers they may encounter, so why should they carry it with them?" Yun Che asked in confusion. This was also a question that had puzzled him all along.
Yun Xiao fell silent, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "I heard my mother secretly tell me once that, in fact, it was the Little Demon Queen's instruction."
"What does the Little Demon Queen mean?"
"Well. That thing called the Mirror of Reincarnation has been passed down by the Illusory Demon Royal Family for many, many years. Although it is said to be a treasure that can defy the heavens, it is said that no matter which generation of Demon King, it has never seen it play any role.
No one has ever known how to use it or what role it can play. The Little Demon Queen told her father back then that if such a useless treasure could be used to exchange for the life of the Demon King, it would be extremely worthwhile for the Illusory Demon Realm...
...After my father came back, he failed to bring grandpa back, and even lost the Mirror of Reincarnation. He did not say that it was the Little Demon Queen's intention to bring the Mirror of Reincarnation, but he took all the blame on himself... because after the Little Demon Queen succeeded to the throne
, there have always been many critics of the Illusory Demon Royal Family, and my father did not want the Little Demon Queen to bear greater pressure. After that, the Yun family's power plummeted again, and my father's reputation became even more...even more..."
Yun Xiao let out a long sigh, and his father felt a pang in his heart.
Yun Che slowly digested Yun Xiao's words. Some of the things he said basically overlapped with what Yun Che heard from Yun Canghai, which also confirmed that Yun Xiao was telling the story seriously and was not lying. The two of them
After being silent for a while, Yun Che suddenly said softly: "Yun Xiao, your father is still the head of the Yun family... His profound power was abolished, and he took all the sins on himself. Didn't your family force him to abdicate?"
"...because of my grandpa." Yun Xiao said quietly: "Grandpa is the head of the Mu family. I also have an uncle who is the young head of the Mu family. They all have a very high reputation and status in Demon Imperial City. Regardless of
Both grandpa and uncle are very good to my mother. One of the reasons is that grandpa supports my father. In addition, our Yun family is getting weaker and weaker, and our status is getting lower and lower. If we still want to stay among the twelve guardian families,
He cannot break away from the support of the Mu family... However, although his father is still the head of the family, fewer and fewer people listen to his words. Sometimes, his father's right to speak is not even as good as that of a person with a slightly higher status.
The elders and great elders have never obeyed my father... They want my father to still be the head of the family just because of the intimidation of the Mu family and because they don't want to lose the support of the Mu family."
