"If the Demon King really agrees to this marriage, it will be very disadvantageous to Her Highness." Huangfu Zhantian said.
Huangfu Jiangu was startled, and his face turned gloomy.
"Speaking of which, that Liu Ming was able to activate the Void Demon Cauldron, so he must have the bloodline of the Huangfu Clan. It is very likely that he is the bloodline of a prince from the previous generation. Once he marries Princess Ying, he will be the son-in-law of the Huangfu Clan. This time, the Void Demon Cauldron chose this person. Although the Demon King announced that the election is invalid, it is hard to say that he won't groom this child in the future. Moreover … "Huangfu Zhantian's white brows slightly moved as he analyzed with a solemn expression.
"Continue." Huangfu Jiangu touched his chin and continued to pace, but his footsteps were a little more impetuous.
"Moreover, on the day of the election, the Void Demon Cauldron seemed to be quite interested in Princess Ying. Although I don't know why it gave up in the end, this woman is also Her Highness' enemy. You also know that the Demon King dotes on Princess Ying." Huangfu Zhantian continued.
Huangfu Jiangu suddenly stopped and said with a cold gaze, "Elder Zhantian, where is that Liu Ming now?"
Huangfu Jiangu couldn't do anything about Zhao Qianying for the time being. She was deeply doted on by Huangfu Yupo and the Demon King. Moreover, the Huangfu Clan strictly forbade infighting among their descendants.
Huangfu Zhantian moved closer to Huangfu Jiangu and said in a low voice, "I just received news that Liu Ming has come out of the Void Realm. The Demon King has arranged for him to follow the dynasty army to quell the rebellion to atone for his crime of disrupting the election."
Huangfu Jiangu pondered for a moment, and a trace of sinister light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, in the Han Province hundreds of thousands of miles away.
The entrance to the Demon Abyss was located in the frozen canyon. A large amount of white mist shrouded this place, and even the nearby mountains were shrouded in it.
Although the trip to the Demon Abyss Secret Realm ten years ago was kept a secret, and the major clans tried their best to keep it a secret, the phenomenon in the canyon still attracted the attention of some locals.
The white fog that covered the canyon did not dissipate even after a long time. Some bold Demon Dwellers began to fly in, wanting to find out what was going on. In the end, most of those who entered disappeared without a trace.
As a result, no one dared to approach this place anymore.
At this moment, in the depths of the canyon, Liu Huifeng was standing on top of a huge boulder. Behind him stood two grey robed men and women, the man looked to be in his thirties, his appearance was rather ugly, the woman looked rather beautiful, wearing a silver hoop on her head, they were the two Profound Devil Cultivator s that had appeared together outside You Rong City.
The white mist in front of the three of them was filled with human heads. There were rows of towering Devil Corpses, and there were at least four to five thousand of them.
These Devil Corpses were all powerful existences at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but at this moment, all of them had lifeless expressions on their faces. It was as if a restriction had been placed on them to suppress their originally low intelligence.
A powerful corpse aura was released from these Devil Corpses, condensing into a greyish-red cloud that surged into the sky. If not for the restriction above the canyon, this corpse aura would have already soared into the sky.
In the air behind Liu Huifeng's group of three, a greyish spatial passageway glowed with a crystalline light. It seemed as though it was closing up. However, a cyan whip was propping up the spatial passageway.
"Fortunately, we have the support of the damaged Devil Whip … That's right, how many Blood Petrifying Vines do we have left to summon the Devil Corpses?" Liu Huifeng's eyes flashed as he asked.
"Reporting to Patriarch, we've almost used up all of them." The grey robed man behind Liu Huifeng said in a low voice.
Liu Huifeng's expression darkened, then he sighed, "That's fine. Being able to summon five thousand Devil Corpses is enough to give Huangfu Yong a pleasant surprise. Wait for more Blood Petrifying Vines to be replenished before we continue summoning."
"Yes! Patriarch, with these five thousand Celestial Phenomenon Devil Corpses, the Huangfu Clan will no longer be our opponent. "The grey robed man said excitedly.
"If it's just the Huangfu Clan, there's naturally nothing to fear. However, I've just received news that Huangfu Yong has used this opportunity to convince the other three grand clans to form an alliance. I'm guessing that they will soon launch a counterattack." Liu Huifeng calmly said.
"What!?" The grey robed man and woman's expression changed drastically when they heard this.
Although the three grand clans were slightly weaker than the Liu Clan and the Huangfu Clan, they were still great clans with countless years of accumulation. Now that they were on the same side as the Huangfu Clan, the Liu Clan's situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable.
"There's no need to panic. Although the three grand clans have formed an alliance with the Huangfu Clan, they definitely won't use their full strength. According to my estimation, they will at most bring out thirty to forty percent of their strength. I'm afraid that there are still people who want to take advantage of the situation." Liu Huifeng faintly smiled.
Hearing this, the grey robed man and woman heaved a sigh of relief.
"Right, is there still no response from Ancestor Yao?" The grey robed woman behind Liu Huifeng suddenly thought of something and asked.
Hearing this, Liu Huifeng sighed: "Ancestor Yao has long since stopped caring about the Liu Clan's matters and wholeheartedly pursues the dao of immortality. I'm afraid he won't help us this time."
The grey robed man and woman's expressions darkened with disappointment.
"Even without relying on Ancestor Yao, we may not necessarily lose. Send the first batch of Devil Corpses to the frontlines and relay my order to the second elder. Before the Huangfu Clan makes their move, we need to take the initiative." Liu Huifeng's expression turned cold as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The grey robed man and woman replied in unison.
The Liu Clan's actions were carried out in the dark. The Huangfu Clan and the other three grand clans didn't notice anything strange.
However, the Huangfu Clan and the three grand clans weren't idle either. They were currently gathering their troops while the alliance of clans was also being organized in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At the entrance of a large market in the royal capital, Liu Ming walked out with a joyful expression.
In the past few days, he had been in the royal capital and also felt the Huangfu Clan's military movements. From the Devil King's actions and determination, it seemed that the Devil King was determined to completely annihilate the Liu Clan's rebel army.
As one of the four grand clans, the Liu Clan also had the foundation of the previous dynasty. This battle would definitely be a fierce one that he had never encountered before. Who knew how many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants and even Arcane Enlightenment Realm experts would fall.
Moreover, Liu Ming had a feeling that the Liu Clan must have something to rely on since they suddenly tore off their disguise and fought under the banner of the previous dynasty. It was likely that the war would be more complicated and difficult than anyone could imagine. Accidents could happen at any time.
Therefore, during this period of time, Liu Ming had been running around the royal capital to prepare as much as possible and increase his strength.
The Yu Province was the most flourishing province among the 33 provinces, and the royal capital was the most important part of the Yu Province. Along with the commencement of the tribute ceremony, the various markets were unprecedentedly bustling with transactions, and there was an unprecedented abundance of resources. Even some rare treasures that were rarely seen in a century were a common sight.
For the few days before the tribute ceremony, Liu Ming only took a quick look. Right now, in order to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle, he had invested almost all of his time in the markets and various trade fairs, hoping to increase his chances of survival.
During this month, he had been constantly visiting various markets and trade fairs. He had even participated in the underground black market five to six times, spending the magic crystals like flowing water.
However, his harvest was extremely bountiful as he had purchased a large batch of precious talismans and elixirs.
He had just participated in an auction and spent 30 million magic crystals to purchase three essence bone relics. This item was also an excellent material to condense the devil body. With the addition of the Blood Rotten Wood and other materials that he had previously purchased, Mo Tian's devil body should be even more refined. It might even be able to reach three-fourths of the state.
After the incident in the Void Devil Hall, Liu Ming knew that he had boarded Mo Tian's pirate ship and had to face the colossus that was the Central Dynasty together.
In such a situation, he didn't have the time to bother about scheming against Mo Tian. Right now, he had to increase Mo Tian's strength as much as possible, which would also increase his chances of survival.
The Central Dynasty was affected by the war, and there were fewer people on the streets. Liu Ming didn't stay on the streets for long and quickly returned to his residence in the Zhen Xin Garden.
However, when he stepped into the small courtyard, he was startled. He saw a masked, white-robed woman standing in the courtyard, and it was obviously Huangfu Yupo.
"Greetings to Elder Yupo." Liu Ming's expression quickly regained his composure as he greeted with cupped hands. His heart trembled.
Huangfu Yupo had personally come to look for him. It seemed like the Huangfu Clan was finally done with their preparations, and the army was about to set off.
"Liu Clan Head, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit. For this war, you have been arranged to be in my Blood Lion Legion, and the legion will set off very soon. Today, I have specially brought you over. How are your preparations going?" Huangfu Yupo sized up Liu Ming and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Everything is ready. I will have to trouble Elder Huangfu." Liu Ming nodded and replied.
"Then let's go."
Huangfu Yupo didn't say any more pleasantries. With a wave of her hand, a purple light enveloped the two of them and flew out of the Imperial Capital.
Liu Ming allowed Huangfu Yupo to bring him along. Fifteen minutes later, the two of them arrived in front of a hidden valley near the Imperial Capital.
Liu Ming took a glance, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
There was a massive fortress built in the valley, and there were hundreds of tall towers surrounding the fortress. Groups of Huangfu Clan's soldiers were traversing in the fortress, and a cold and austere aura was spreading out.
A large purple flag was fluttering above the fortress, and on the flag was an image of a blood lion.
The number of soldiers in the fortress was about a hundred thousand, and their cultivations weren't low. Most of them were at the Liquid Level, and there were quite a few Crystal Level and Jin Dan Level.
Liu Ming used his Divine Sense to explore, and there were dozens of Celestial Phenomenon Demons.
The HuangFu Aristocrat Clan announced that they had six legions. If the strength of all the legions were about the same, not to mention the low-level devilmen, just the number of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants would already be over a hundred times that of the Qing Clan.
