Chapter 1414: Truth
Liu Ming shook his head and smiled. Although he also planned to walk around Central Imperial City, he still had plenty of time and was in no rush.
He sat quietly for a moment, then he took out a purple token, which was Huangfu Yupo’s Elder Token.
Liu Ming had carefully inspected it before that this token was not just a token, but actually a magic weapon, and it had obviously been refined.
At this moment, as long as Huangfu Yupo was in Central Imperial City, she should be able to sense that Liu Ming was here now.
After leaving the Demon Abyss that day, what Huangfu Yupo said to him was still in Liu Ming’s mind. He was still not sure how to deal with the relationship with Zhao Qianying.
“Forget it. It’s futile to think about all this. I’ll just go with the flow.” Liu Ming shook his head, put this thought aside, and took out the green jade slip to read.
The jade slip not only contained a map of Central Imperial City but also some introductions to the city. He hadn’t had time to take a good look at it.
…
While Liu Ming was checking the jade slip, in a secret hall deep in the buildings where the Demon Emperor Palace was located, Huangfu Zhantian was standing quietly next to the main seat. On top of the main seat, sat a majestic purple-robed man. The middle-aged man was none other than Huangfu Yong, the current Demon Emperor.
2 Mystic Comprehending States demons were sitting on his left and right.
On the left were 2 demons in golden robes; one was a golden-robed middle-aged man. He looked to be in his thirties with an extremely handsome appearance. A gentle smile could be seen on his face.
Behind the golden-robed man was a golden-robed young woman, who was Elder Yin Chan who represented the Long Family in Demon Abyss.
In this way, the identity of the golden-robed man sitting beside was self-evident. He was the current family master of the Long Family, Long Yi.
Opposite the Long Family were 2 men in red robes. One was an old man in a red robe. He was tall and thin and with broad shoulders and long hands. The only special thing about this man was that he had a blood-colored jade bead in the shape of a water drop on his forehead.
This person was the family master of the Kongxiang Family. Kongxiang Wu.
Standing next to him was a young man in a blood-colored robe, who looked to be in his twenties. He exuded an evil aura. Facing Huangfu Yong and the Long Family Master, he didn’t intend to restrain the evil aura at all.
“Sir Demon Emperor, just tell us why you summon us.” The old man in a blood-colored robe said in a cold voice.
The old man in a blood-colored robe spoke straightforwardly as if he was not afraid of Huangfu Yong, the Demon Emperor at all.
However, Huangfu Yong was still calm. On the contrary, Huangfu Zhantian, who was standing behind Huangfu Yong, raised his brows imperceptibly, then he chuckled and said,
“Haha, don’t be impatient, Kongxiang Family Master. Gaohe Family Master has also arrived at the Imperial City this afternoon. Lord Demon Emperor has also invited him here. He should be here soon, so please wait a little longer.”
Hearing this, the old man in a blood-colored robe closed his eyes without saying more.
As for the two people of the Long Family, they didn’t speak.
Long Yi glanced sideways at Huangfu Yong, then he looked away, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
In less than 10 minutes, footsteps came from outside the hall. 2 black-robed men, accompanied by a purple-robed man, strode in.
The 2 black-robed men were both about forty years old. They were tall with red and healthy faces. They a pair of tiger eyes that were intimidating.
What was even more peculiar was that their appearance and temperament were also very similar as if they were twins.
The black-robed burly man walking behind was carrying a two-foot-long and one-foot-wide dark iron box on his back. He exuded a monstrous cold aura.
The black-robed burly man walking in front held a fan in one hand and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. When they came in together, it was this person whom the people in the hall looked at first.
“Brother Gaohe, I’m afraid it’s been a hundred years since we last said goodbye. Your cultivation is greatly improved again. This is really gratifying.” Huangfu Yong glanced at the black-robed burly man holding the fan and said with a laugh.
Kongxiang Family Master and Long Family Master also looked at the black-robed burly man holding the fan. The former was startled slightly and looked a little gloomy while the latter wasn’t shocked and put up a faint smile.
“Sir Demon Emperor, you flatter me. How can I compare with Sir Demon Emperor?” The black-robed burly man said with a faint smile as he walked in.
Huangfu Yong smiled faintly and made a gesture of invitation, signaling them to sit down. The purple-robed man who brought them in left.
“Sir Demon Emperor, now that all 3 of our families are here, you can explain the purpose of summoning us here.” A trace of impatience flashed in the eyes of the old man in a blood-colored robe. After the Gaohe Family Master sat down, he urged him again.
“Brother Kongxiang, don’t be anxious. I will explain now.” Huangfu Yong said slowly without being angry at all because of the attitude of the old man in a blood-colored robe.
As soon as Huangfu Rong said that, Huangfu Zhantian raised one hand and closed the palace door immediately. At the same time, a layer of faint purple light emerged from the surroundings, covering the entire palace. It seemed to be a mysterious soundproof enchantment.
“Actually, the reason for calling the 3 of you here is for the Demon Abyss 10 years ago.” Huangfu Yong said in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old man in a blood-colored robe and the black-robed burly man holding the fan changed slightly, but the Long Family Master remained calm as if it had nothing to do with him.
“During that trip to Demon Abyss, our families suffered heavy losses. Venerable Kuizhao of my Huangfu Family and 9 Celestial State demons were all dead in the secret realm. In addition, Elder Kongxiang Xu, Elder Gaohe Yan also died. This is really regretful.” When Huangfu Yong said this, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Gaohe Family Master’s eyes darkened, but he still remained calm.
When the old man in a blood-robed robe heard this, his old face suddenly became extremely ugly and he snorted as if his sore spot was touched.
Among the 4 great families, although they had passed on for countless years, their strength still varied among each other.
Originally, the strongest one was the Gaohe Family, but due to the sudden rebellion of the Liu Family, the strength revealed not only shocked the entire Thousands Demons Continent, but they could even compete head-on with the Central Imperial.
Although the Liu Family had been expelled from the 4 great families, people secretly commented that the Liu Family’s strength had already surpassed the Gaohe Family and became the real number 1 among the 4 great families.
Among the 3 remaining great families, the Gaohe Family was extremely powerful. They still outperformed the other 2 families. Although the Long Family was low-key, no one dared to look down upon them. The weakest one was the Kongxiang Family.
For nearly ten thousand years, the Kongxiang Family had been in bad luck.
When several Celestial State peak stage demons were trying to advance, they died to the thunder tribulation.
Among the several Mystic Comprehending State elders in the family, 1 of them died unexpectedly due to an accident a thousand years ago. Now, Kongxiang Xu was dead in the Demon Abyss together with 4 Celestial State demons with decent strength.
For these various reasons, the strength of the Kongxiang Family fell to the bottom. The old man in a blood-colored robe naturally did not have a good mood.
“Why did Sir Demon Emperor bring up this matter again? It has been 10 years. Don’t tell me you can resurrect them!” The old man in a blood-colored robe snorted.
“Resurrection from the dead is of course impossible, but although Demon Abyss is dangerous, based on our family’s understanding of it, as long as we are careful, the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses should not die in it. Don’t you all think that this trip to the Demon Abyss was a little strange?” Demon Emperor said with a hint.
“What, does Sir Demon Emperor know what happened in Demon Abyss?” Kongxiang Wu, the old man in a blood-colored robe, asked in shock.
The Gaohe Family Master on the side also intently looked at Demon Emperor.
The core team sent by the Kongxiang Family and the Gaohe Family to Demon Abyss was completely wiped out, and no important news came out. Although they were shocked and angry afterward, they secretly investigated for a while, but in the end, they found nothing. Gradually, the investigation was stopped.
From Demon Emperor’s words, it seemed that he knew the inside story in the Demon Abyss.
But then they thought about it. Although most of the people sent by the Huangfu Family to the Demon Abyss were lost, Huangfu Yupo escaped from it.
“Yes.” Huangfu Yong’s eyes flashed, and he nodded.
Gaohe Family Master and Kongxiang Wu’s expressions suddenly changed.
“Demon Emperor, please solve our doubts. Could it be that the members of my Gaohe Family were set up in Demon Abyss?” Gaohe Family suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice.
“Brother Gaohe, don’t be agitated. Sit down and talk.” Huangfu Yong smiled lightly.
The man holding the fan sat down angrily.
The Gaohe Family Master’s name was Gaohe Rui. Back then, he was famous for his fiery temper among the 4 great families. Now that he had become the family master of the Gaohe Family, his temperament had become much more restrained, but he was still as fiery as ever.
“My purpose today is to reveal the truth about Demon Abyss to all of you.” Huangfu Yong said loudly, then he clapped his hands.
A side door of the main hall opened, and a veiled woman in a white robe walked in. It was Huangfu Yupo.
“I believe you all know that Elder Yupo survived the trip to Demon Abyss. At the same time, she also witnessed some of the events in Demon Abyss.” Huangfu Yong said.
Gaohe Rui and Kongxiang Wu’s eyes immediately turned their gaze to Huangfu Yupo.
“I do know something about what happened in Demon Abyss. I also know some reasons why your 2 families were wiped out.” Huangfu Yupo said in a cold tone.
“Elder Yupo, please tell us the truth. Our 2 families will be very grateful.” Gaohe Rui said in a deep voice.
Kongxiang Wu also nodded slowly. His expression was extremely stern.
