Liu Ming shook his head and smiled. Although he also planned to walk around the Imperial City, he was not in a hurry as he still had plenty of time.
He sat quietly for a moment, then flipped his hand and a purple token appeared in his palm. It was the Elder's Token that Huangfu Yupo had given him.
Liu Ming had checked it carefully before. This token was not just a token, it was actually a magic treasure and it had obviously been refined.
At this moment, as long as Huangfu Yupo was in the Imperial City, she should be able to sense Liu Ming's arrival.
What Huangfu Yupo said to him after he left the Demon Abyss Secret Land had been lingering in Liu Ming's mind. He still could not decide how to deal with his relationship with Zhao Qianying.
"Forget it, thinking about this is futile. I'll cross the bridge when I come to it." Liu Ming shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. He flipped his hand and took out the Green Jade Slips and continued to read its contents.
Not only did the Jade Slips contain the map of the Imperial City, but there were also some introductions of the Imperial City. He had not had the time to read them properly.
…
Just as Liu Ming was reading the jade slip, deep in the tower forest where the Demon Palace was located, in a secret hall, Huangfu Zhantian was standing quietly next to the main seat. On the main seat, there was a majestic middle-aged man in a purple robe. He was the current Demon Emperor, Huangfu Yong.
There were two people sitting on the left and right side of the main seat, both of whom were in the Metaphysic Realm.
On the left side sat two people in golden robes. The one sitting on the chair was a golden-robed middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He was extremely handsome and had an amiable smile on his face.
Behind the golden-robed man stood a golden-robed young woman. She was Elder Yin Chan, who represented the Long clan in the Demon Abyss Secret Land.
As such, the identity of the golden-robed man sitting on the chair was self-evident. He was the current Patriarch of the Long clan, Long Yi.
Opposite the Long clan sat two people in red robes. The one sitting was a tall and skinny old man in a red robe. He had broad shoulders and long arms. The only special thing about him was that there was a droplet-shaped blood-colored jade bead between his eyebrows.
This person was the Patriarch of the Kong Xiang Family, Kong Xiangwu.
Next to him stood a young man in a blood-red robe. He looked to be in his twenties and exuded an evil aura. Even when facing Huangfu Yong and the Long Family Patriarch, he had no intention of restraining himself.
"Lord Demon King, you've summoned both our clans here. If there's anything you want to say, just say it," the crimson-robed elder said coldly.
The scarlet-robed elder's tone was very impolite, as if he was not afraid of the Demon Emperor, Huangfu Yong.
However, there was no change in Huangfu Yong's expression. On the contrary, Huangfu Zhantian, who was standing behind Huangfu Yong, raised his brows imperceptibly.
"Hehe, Patriarch Kong Xiang need not be anxious. Patriarch Gao He has already arrived at the Imperial City this afternoon. Lord Demon Emperor has also invited him here. Looking at the time, he should be arriving soon. Please wait for a moment, Patriarch Kong Xiang. "
The scarlet-robed elder did not say anything else and closed his eyes.
As for the two from the Long Family, they didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Long Yi tilted his head and glanced at Huangfu Yong. His eyes flashed slightly, and then he looked away. He picked up the teacup on the table beside him and took a sip.
In less than half an hour, a series of footsteps came from outside the hall. Two black-robed men, accompanied by a purple-robed man, strode in.
The two black-robed men were about forty years old. They were tall, had red faces, and a pair of fierce eyes.
What was even more peculiar was that the two men's appearance and temperament were very similar. It was as if they were brothers from the same mother.
The black-robed man walking behind was carrying a black iron box that was two feet long and one foot wide. His whole body exuded a monstrous cold aura.
The black-robed man walking in front was holding a fan in one hand. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. However, when the two of them came in together, the few people in the hall first looked at him.
"Brother Gao He, I'm afraid it has been another hundred years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved greatly. Congratulations. "Huangfu Yong's gaze fell on the man with the fan. His eyes flashed and he said with a laugh.
Patriarch Kong Xiang and Patriarch Long also looked at the man with the fan. The former's expression changed slightly and looked a little gloomy. The latter's expression didn't change and he still had a faint smile.
"Demon King is too kind. How can my ability compare to Demon King?" The man with the fan said with a faint smile as he walked in while fanning himself.
Huangfu Yong smiled faintly. He raised one hand and made an inviting gesture, indicating the two to sit down. The purple-robed man who escorted the two had already turned around and left.
The scarlet-robed elder's eyes flashed with a trace of impatience. After Patriarch Gao He sat down, he urged again, "Demon King, now that the people of our three families are all here, you should be able to tell us the purpose of summoning us here."
"Brother Kong Xiang, there's no need to be anxious. This Emperor will explain it to everyone." Huangfu Yong wasn't angered by the scarlet-robed elder's attitude at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Zhantian raised his hand, causing the door to the hall to close immediately. At the same time, a layer of faint violet light appeared in the surroundings of the hall and enveloped the entire hall, and it seemed to be some sort of profound soundproofing restriction.
"Actually, the reason why I summoned the three of you here is for the Devil Abyss Secret Realm ten years ago." Huangfu Yong said indifferently.
As soon as he said that, the scarlet-robed elder and the man with the fan's expression changed slightly. On the other hand, Patriarch Long's expression didn't change at all. It was as if what Huangfu Yong said had nothing to do with him.
"That trip to the Devil Abyss Secret Realm could be said to be disastrous. My Huangfu Clan's Venerable Kui Zhao and nine Celestial Phenomenon Demon Generals all failed to walk out of the secret realm. Other than that, Elder Kong Xiang, Elder Gao He, and Elder Gao He Yan also died. It's truly regrettable." Huangfu Yong couldn't help but sigh when he said that.
Patriarch Gao He's eyes darkened when he heard that, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face.
As soon as the scarlet-robed elder heard that, his old face suddenly became extremely unsightly. It was as if someone had poked a scar on his face. He snorted coldly.
Although each of the four great clans had existed for countless years, there was always a difference in strength between them.
Originally, the strongest was the Gao He Clan. However, due to the sudden rebellion of the Liu Clan, the strength that they revealed not only shocked the entire Myriad Demon Continent, but also directly contended with the Central Dynasty.
Although the Liu Clan had already been expelled from the ranks of the four great clans, the world secretly discussed that the strength of the Liu Clan had already surpassed the Gao He Clan, becoming the true number one of the four great clans.
Now, among the three great clans, the Gao He Clan's strength was extremely strong. They still suppressed the other two clans. Although the Long Clan was low-key, no one dared to look down on them. Instead, the weakest clan became the Kong Xiang Clan.
In the past ten thousand years, the Kong Xiang Clan's luck had not been good. Several peak Celestial Phenomenon cultivators had died under the Profound Enlightenment Lightning Tribulation when they tried to advance to the Profound Enlightenment realm.
There were several Profound Enlightenment elders in the clan. One of them had died in an accident a thousand years ago. Now, Kong Xiang Xu had not been able to walk out of the Devil Abyss Secret Zone. There were also four Celestial Phenomenon cultivators who had died along with him.
Due to various reasons, the Kong Xiang Clan's strength had fallen to rock bottom. Naturally, the scarlet-robed elder did not have a good expression on his face.
"Lord Demon King, why did you mention this again? It has already been ten years. Do you think that those who died can still be resurrected? "The scarlet-robed elder snorted coldly.
"It's impossible to resurrect the dead. However, although the Devil Abyss Secret Zone is dangerous, based on our understanding of it, as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any Profound Enlightenment cultivators dying in there. Don't you think that this trip to the Devil Abyss is a little strange? " The Demon King glanced at the scarlet-robed elder before his eyes scanned the scene again. There was a deep meaning in his words.
"What? Does Lord Demon King know what happened in the Devil Abyss?" The scarlet-robed elder, Kong Xiang Wu's expression suddenly changed as he asked.
Patriarch Gao He also suddenly looked at the Demon King, revealing a somewhat focused expression.
The core team that the Kong Xiang Clan and the Gao He Clan sent to the Devil Abyss was completely annihilated. There was no important news. Although they were shocked and angry after the incident, they secretly sent people to investigate for a period of time. However, in the end, they found nothing and slowly stopped pursuing.
At this moment, from the Demon King's words, it seemed that he knew the inside story of the Devil Abyss.
However, the two thought about it again. Although more than half of the people that the HuangFu Clan sent to the Devil Abyss were killed, at least Huangfu Yupo escaped.
"That's right." Huangfu Yong's eyes flashed as he nodded.
Patriarch Gao He and Kong Xiang Wu's expressions immediately changed.
"Lord Demon King, please enlighten us. Could it be that someone from my Gao He Clan was killed in the Devil Abyss?" The man holding the fan suddenly stood up and said coldly.
"Brother Gao He, don't be so agitated. Sit down and talk." Huangfu Yong smiled faintly.
Only then did the man holding the fan sit down angrily.
Patriarch Gao He's name was Gao Herui. In the past, he was famous for his fiery temper among the four great clans. Now that he had become the patriarch of the Gao He Clan, his temper was much more restrained, but it was still as fiery as before.
"Today, I came to announce the truth of the Devil Abyss in front of the three patriarchs." Huangfu Yong said in a clear voice. Then, he clapped his hands.
A side door of the hall opened and a masked woman in a white robe walked in. It was Huangfu Yupo.
"I believe that you all know that Elder Yupo also survived this trip to the Devil Abyss. At the same time, she also witnessed some of the things that happened in the Devil Abyss." Huangfu Yong said.
Gao He Rui and Kong Xiangwu's gazes immediately gathered on Huangfu Yupo.
"Patriarchs, I do know a little about the things that happened in the Devil Abyss. I also know some of the reasons why your two clans were completely annihilated." Huangfu Yupo said in a cold tone.
"Please enlighten us, Elder Yupo. Our two clans can't thank you enough." Gao He Rui said in a deep voice.
Kong Xiangwu also nodded slowly. His face was extremely cold.
