The sixth volume of the dance of demons 1419 The covenant of jade soul
After the tribute was over, the discussion in the square did not stop.
The Demon King looked at the noisy crowd below, slightly curved his mouth, and suddenly stood up.
When the family heads below saw this scene, they immediately stopped talking.
"Everyone, today is a tribute ceremony, but I have a few things to announce here. One of them is about the rebellion." The Demon Emperor said in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the family all looked solemn and looked like they were listening attentively.
"The rebellion of the Liu family and Da Shuo has been fierce. It has been more than ten years now, and I have not been able to completely wipe it out. Instead, I have caused several border states to suffer from the torment of war for years. I really feel guilty." Huangfu.
When Yong mentioned this, a trace of shame appeared on his face.
"Today, I want to use this grand ceremony to tell the world that when the ceremony is over, the central dynasty will make every effort to wipe out the rebels of the Liu family and Dashuo. At the same time, the emperor announced that various families from various states and counties will be recruited to form a new army.
Allied forces, assist the dynasty in suppressing the rebellion!" Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Yongke looked solemn and dropped an important message.
After hearing this, the faces of the heads of thousands of aristocratic families in the square suddenly changed.
Huangfu Yong's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the next moment, the heads of the family present were buzzing with discussion.
"I will not elaborate on the specific matters related to the Allied Forces here. The heads of the three great families, Gao He, Long, and Kong Xiang, will be fully responsible." Huangfu Yong's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and he continued.
.
As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the square calmed down, and they all looked at the three family heads on the high platform.
Liu Ming also looked over, but saw that the three people's expressions were calm at the moment, without any signs of surprise, and they had obviously known about this for a long time.
At this moment, Huangfu Yong's voice continued to come from the high platform:
"The next thing is the second thing. I have decided to take advantage of this grand ceremony to select the crown prince and announce it to the world. I also invite all the family heads here to come to Kunxin Hall tomorrow to observe the ceremony of selection."
As soon as these words came out, there was a huge uproar in the square, and they were even more surprised than when they just learned that they were going to have a decisive battle with the Liu family.
The direct descendants of the Huangfu family on the high platform also had shocked expressions on their faces, obviously they did not know about this in advance.
Huangfu Jiangu, who was standing at the front of the disciples, had an excited expression on his face, and then disappeared without a trace.
The expressions of Gao Herui and other three aristocratic family heads who were sitting on the high platform also changed. Huangfu Yong is now in his prime. If nothing happens, he will never establish the crown prince at this time, unless he has some special reasons.
Gao Herui's face flashed with surprise, as if he had thought of something.
"Could it be..."
The head of the Long family and Kong Xiangwu also thought of something, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.
"Hmph! I didn't expect this kid Huangfu Yong to have reached this point and wanted to retreat to the realm of immortality!" On the square, the voice of the devil appeared in Liu Ming's mind.
"Senior Motian, you're awake..." Liu Ming's heart moved and he sent a message from his mind.
"You are in the imperial city at the moment. It is inconvenient for me to show up for some reasons, but there are some important things I want to tell you." Before Liu Ming could finish speaking, Mo Tian interrupted him.
Liu Ming was startled.
"Time is tight, so I'll keep it short. Huangfu Yong invites you to watch the ceremony at Kunxin Hall. You must go and remember to wear this thing on your body. I will explain other things to you later. Remember,
Not only will this matter be harmless to you, it will also be of great benefit, and it will even be helpful for you to advance to Tao Xuan in the future." Motian's voice gradually became lower, and then suddenly stopped and fell silent.
Liu Ming frowned, and then a black light flashed in his hand, and a black jade talisman appeared.
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quickly turned over and put away the black jade talisman.
Although his expression was not abnormal at all, his thoughts were racing in his mind, wondering what the devil was up to.
In the following time, Huangfu Yong said a few more things, but most of them were about the tribute ceremony, which sounded quite satisfactory.
The tribute ceremony is now coming to an end.
After Huangfu Yong said another word of thanks, the ceremony finally ended, and the heads of the aristocratic families in the square began to leave one after another after the Demon Emperor left.
Liu Ming was mixed in the crowd and was about to leave.
"Liu Ming, I will host a banquet at Jiayuan Building tonight, please be sure to enjoy it." Huangfu Yupo's voice suddenly reached his ears.
When Liu Ming heard this, his body trembled slightly and he immediately raised his eyes.
On the high platform, Huangfu Yupo was standing next to Zhao Qianying, looking over with a smile.
Liu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, nodded slightly, then turned and left.
A quarter of an hour later, he returned to Zhenxin Garden.
Qingyu and others were staying in the garden at the moment and did not go out for a stroll. When they saw Liu Ming coming back, they hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Head of the family, could it be that the tribute ceremony did not go smoothly? I see that many heads of aristocratic families have complicated expressions when they come back." Qingyu asked curiously.
"Not really, it's just that the Demon Emperor announced a few things in public." Liu Ming smiled faintly and briefly talked to Qingyu and others about what happened at the ceremony.
After Qingyu and others heard the first thing, their expressions suddenly changed. As for the next few things, they had no impact at all.
"You don't have to worry about it. Although this matter is not a small matter, it does not have much to do with our Qing family. I will handle it properly." Liu Ming said calmly.
In the eyes of Qingyu and others, Liu Ming has long been like a pillar supporting the sky. Seeing Liu Ming so calm, Qingyu and the others feel reassured.
"Okay, you all can go and rest. The ceremony is over now. You can go out and hang out if you want. After I go to watch the ceremony tomorrow, we will prepare to go back home." Liu Ming said lightly.
"Yes, I will obey the order of the master of the house." Qingyu and others agreed, and then went back to their rooms.
After a while, Liu Ming returned to his room. As soon as he entered the door, he waved one hand and placed five restrictions in the room before stopping.
Then he sat down cross-legged and took out the black jade talisman given to him by Motian.
After looking through it carefully for a while, he couldn't figure out what the jade talisman was. He could only feel that it contained a very deep demonic energy.
He looked at the jade talisman in his hand with twinkling eyes, and called the devil several times through his mind, but did not get any response.
Liu Ming's expression suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny.
Although he had already had enough of Mo Tian's various tricks and deliberately ignored his words, Mo Tian's words, which were helpful for advancing to Tongxuan, made his heart skip a beat.
His cultivation has reached the late stage of the Celestial Realm. As long as he persists in hard training, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the peak of the later stage. However, he is not sure about advancing to Tongxuan.
Although the demonic relic can increase the chance of advancing to the mystical realm by 10%, Liu Ming feels that this is 80% exaggerated by Demonic Sky.
The bottleneck of advancing to the realm of celestial phenomena is more than a thousand times more difficult than that of advancing to the celestial realm of true elixirs. After all, before the celestial realm, the improvement of cultivation level mainly depends on the cultivation techniques and the understanding of the techniques themselves. Jie Tongxuan involves the mastery of the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
Although Liu Ming has a slight grasp of the power of law, and the cave of his mountain and river bead magic weapon also contains some power of law, but it is too early to say that he is far from mastering it.
After taking a breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand and struck out a spell, which was submerged in the black jade talisman.
He still decided to act according to Motian's words. His strength was greatly improved at the moment, and he was confident that even if something unexpected happened, he would be able to deal with it. In the worst case, Motian and Motian would be killed and no one would be able to survive.
However, before that, he had to figure out the function of this black jade talisman.
At this moment, a black light suddenly appeared on the black jade talisman. The next moment, the jade talisman flashed and flew directly into his body and disappeared.
Liu Ming's face changed slightly, and the jade talisman turned into an extremely cold demonic energy in his body, which merged into the meridians in his body.
The aura emanating from his whole body immediately became extremely cold, as if he was wearing a cold coat.
The human skills that Liu Ming had practiced before, such as the masculine aura carried by the Heavenly Thunder Technique, were completely hidden deep in the meridians by some strange force.
"Could it be that Motian asked me to wear this jade talisman to cover up the alien aura in my body..." Liu Ming secretly guessed.
He thought about Motian's intention for a long time, but he had no idea.
Soon, he gave up this useless behavior and let's wait until tomorrow. There was still a big problem that he needed to deal with tonight.
…
Jiayuan Building is a large restaurant in the second district of the Central Imperial City. It covers an extremely large area, covering half a street.
The night was like spilled ink, rendering the air pitch black, but at this time, the Jiayuan Building was brightly lit, and it seemed like day inside, with the sound of noisy silk and bamboo coming from time to time.
At the gate on the ground floor of Jiayuan Building, people come and go from time to time. It seems that business is very good.
Not far away, a figure wearing a green robe walked slowly and slowly to the door of Jiayuan Tower. After stopping, he looked at the lively scene here with his eyes twinkling.
This person is none other than Liu Ming.
This restaurant is of such a large scale that it is certainly not just a place for people to drink and chat. Anyone who is a little familiar with the Central Imperial City knows that Jiayuan Building is also a large-scale auction house in the Central Imperial City. The restaurant is just a cover.
It is said that the backing of this restaurant is the Huangfu family, which has been operating in the imperial city for tens of thousands of years and is deeply rooted.
The Jiayuan Building not only has an extremely quiet environment, but also has several unique wines in the building. It has an excellent reputation. Gradually, many people come here just for drinking and enjoyment.
After Liu Ming took a deep breath, he stepped into the door of the restaurant. The sharp-eyed waiter in green shirt at the door of the restaurant hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Liu Ming into the building with a respectful expression.
The hall on the ground floor is very wide, and there are more than ten floors of rooms upwards, which are hundreds of feet high. The interior of the building is very luxurious, and the floors and walls are made of various wooden and jade spiritual materials.
He had been here once before the day before, that time to participate in a medium-sized auction.
"Guest, are you here for tea, or..." The green-shirted waiter noticed that Liu Ming was not weak in cultivation and asked cautiously.
