Chapter 1421: Crown Prince
“Sword array!”
Liu Ming was startled. He had seen Huangfu Yupo and Liu Zongyang fight in he Demon Abyss. This woman was wielding multiple flying swords at that time, and her power was already impressive. The sword array she unleashed at this moment was even more powerful than he saw previously.
The 9 flying swords spun faster and faster, forming a white sword wheel more than 30 meters in the air. The white light in the center was as dazzling as the rising sun.
Liu Ming felt a chill in his heart. He raised his sleeve and released Mountain River Pearls, which quickly formed a yellow shield in front of him.
Immediately afterward, a wave of dense yellow light surged out and formed a building-sized yellow light shield in front of the shield. It was crystal clear as if it was real.
As soon as he finished doing this, the white sword wheel suddenly shone in mid-air. 9 white light beams as thick as a bucket suddenly shot out from the center, hitting the yellow light shield fiercely.
There was a deep m.u.f.fled sound. The 9 white light pillars suddenly turned into 9 dazzling giant white swords, piercing into the yellow light shield.
The yellow light shield was pushed back, and its light trembled wildly, looking unstable.
After just 1 second, the yellow light shield finally dissipated and turned into dots of yellow light under a loud noise. The 9 giant white swords continued to slash at the yellow shield transformed by the Mountain River Pearls with unabated force.
At this moment, a layer of black water light suddenly appeared on the yellow shield, making the entire shield become as smooth as a mirror.
Suddenly, a burst of rattling impact sounds occurred!
The giant white swords struck the shield, causing ripples of water light on the surface. But the next moment, all the giant swords were repelled and exploded in mid-air, turning into dots of white crystal light.
However, the water light on the shield also dissipated, revealing the yellow shield again.
Liu Ming was overjoyed. This series of changes was the result of all twelve Mountain River Pearls being upgraded to immortal magic weapons. He wasn’t disappointed by the results of this first actual combat.
He tapped his feed and retreated 30 meters. The look of vigilance on his face did not diminish at all.
Although they exchanged only 1 move and each of them deliberately controlled the spiritual power fluctuations, the small pavilion where the two of them were in was still destroyed by the aftermath. The surrounding landscape was almost devastated too. Fortunately, there was some kind of mysterious enchantment on the wall that withstood the aftermath of the battle.
Huangfu Yupo showed a hint of surprise. She looked Liu Ming up and down, then she smiled and flicked her finger.
The white sword wheel in mid-air whistled, turned back into 9 white flying swords, and returned to her sleeve.
Liu Ming was startled, but he didn’t expect Huangfu Yupo to stop after one move. He also launched a symbol and retrieved the Mountain River Pearls.
“I heard Ying’er describe your means. In Demon Abyss, you had a head-on fight with the Liu Zongyang thief without falling behind. Now that I tried it myself, you really lived up to your reputation.” Huangfu Yupo said with a calm expression.
“Elder Yupo, don’t flatter me. If there wasn’t a change in Demon Abyss Tower that day, I would have died at the hands of Liu Zongyang.” Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Huangfu Yupo’s eyes flashed. She was already unconscious at the time. She also learned about the incident at the top of Demon Abyss Tower from Zhao Qianying afterward.
Qing Ling suddenly appeared and killed Liu Zongyang, and the giant hand appeared from the Ancient Demon Realm and captured Qing Ling including the Celestial Mirror. The twists and turns made her hard to believe that they were real.
“Does Elder Huangfu want to fight still? If not, I will leave first.” Liu Ming cupped his fist.
“Family Master Liu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I just wanted to test your strength. Sit down first. I think you may have some misunderstandings about the matter between you and Ying’er.” Huangfu Yupo suddenly smiled and said.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ming couldn’t help but be startled.
As Huangfu Yupo said, she waved and removed the debris with an invisible force. At the same time, a set of table and chairs appeared in the open s.p.a.ce.
Huangfu Yupo walked over slowly and sat down calmly.
“Elder Huangfu, don’t hold your word.” Liu Ming said without sitting down.
Huangfu Yupo smiled, took out a tea set, and began to make tea by herself. The fragrance of tea suddenly spread out as she said in a calm tone,
“Family Master Liu, although the matter between you and Ying’er was not voluntary, it is a done deal after all. Sir Demon Emperor will always know about it. Whether it is for Ying’er or to save the face of the Huangfu Family, he will definitely not let you go easily. I’m afraid that the entire Qing Family will also be uprooted, leaving no one behind.”
When she came to the last few words, she deliberately spoke slowly to emphasize the words.
Liu Ming’s face darkened when he heard this, knowing that Huangfu Yupo’s words were by no means threatening.
“Actually, Family Master Liu, there is no need to be so hesitant. I know you have other confidantes, but this will not hinder your union with Ying’er. You must know that in our Thousands Demons Continent, it is normal for the powerhouse to have several partners. I think Ying’er will also accept them.” Huangfu Yupo said calmly.
“What exactly does Elder Huangfu want to say?” Liu Ming was startled and said.
“If Ying’er can accept your confidantes, will you be willing to agree to this marriage?” Huangfu Yupo asked with a faint smile.
Liu Ming had a complicated expression after hearing this.
Agree? Or not?
What Huangfu Yupo said just now was actually a big concession for the entire Huangfu Family. If he continued to refuse, he would probably anger the other party and escalate into a fight again.
He alone was fine as he could just leave, but if he implicated Qing Yu and others, none of them would be able to leave this Imperial City.
In fact, he still has a good impression of Zhao Qianying, but after all, she was the daughter of the Demon Emperor. Once he got close to her, many things would become troublesome.
“Family Master Liu, our Huangfu Family has already given in to this. If you still reject, I will have no choice but to ask Sir Demon Emperor to take action.” Huangfu Yupo said unswervingly when she saw Liu Ming still looking hesitant on his face.
“Thanks to Elder Huangfu for attaching such importance to me, if it is really as elder said, I will agree to this marriage.” Liu Ming had various thoughts in his mind, then he sighed and said.
“So, Family Master Liu agreed?” Huangfu Yupo raised her brows.
“Yes.” Liu Ming said.
“Very good, I will make arrangements for Ying’er. However, the entire Huangfu Family is in a troubled time now. Your matters can only wait until the crown prince is elected tomorrow, then I will find another time to report to the Lord Demon Emperor.” Huangfu Yupo nodded.
Liu Ming nodded and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his mind.
He wondered how would Demon Emperor react to this, so the later he found out, the better.
But then he thought of something and asked,
“Elder Huangfu, according to your words just now, could it be that the crown prince hasn’t been decided yet?”
“Yes, the originally chosen crown prince was Prince Liushui, but unfortunately he died in the Liu Family’s scheme. Now we haven’t had time to choose another one.” Huangfu Yupo hesitated and said.
“Isn’t the Crown Prince selected by Sir Demon Emperor himself? From the elder’s tone, it seems that there are some special reasons involved?” Liu Ming asked.
“Family Master Liu is interested in this matter?” Huangfu Yupo glanced at Liu Ming and said.
“Of course I’m interested in such an important event. His Majesty Demon Emperor invites family masters like us to attend the ceremony tomorrow. I want to know something in advance to satisfy my curiosity.” Liu Ming chuckled and said noncommittally.
“Family Master Liu will naturally know tomorrow. Let’s end the talk here today. After the crown prince is elected tomorrow, Family Master Liu, please do not to leave the Imperial City. His Majesty Demon Emperor will probably summon you at that time.” Huangfu Yupo smiled faintly and stood up.
“I understand.” Liu Ming nodded and agreed.
“Oh, by the way, someone will clean up this place. Bye.” Huangfu Yupo said with a smile, then she left the place.
Liu Ming did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in the messy room for a moment. After his expression changed for a while, he sighed softly and left the room.
The next day, Liu Ming arrived at the Demon Emperor Palace early in the morning. Under the guidance of the palace guard, he quickly arrived at his destination. It was a large palace made entirely of large black stones. 2 demon texts “Kunxin Hall” were written on the door.
Compared with other surrounding buildings, this palace looked a bit solemn and strange. It was not too far from yesterday’s square.
Liu Ming was standing at the entrance of the palace at the moment, looking around carefully. For some reason, just when he was about to enter the palace, a strange feeling suddenly flashed through his heart for no reason. When he wanted to catch it, the thrill of that moment was gone.
After a while, Liu Ming followed the flow of people around and walked into the hall.
As a result, there was a different s.p.a.ce in this hall. It was much bigger than the square yesterday.
Next to the walls on both sides of the hall, there were 2 rows of tall stone pillars with countless large moonstones, which illuminated the entire hall as bright as day.
The walls in the hall were dark in color, emitting circles of black halo.
Liu Ming tried to release a trace of Divine Thought into the wall.
The next moment, he was shocked.
As soon as his Divine Thought touched the palace wall, he immediately encountered a powerful devouring force. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and withdrew the Divine Thought in time, thus avoiding damage to his Divine Thought.
Liu Ming’s eyes flickered. Everything in the hall was strange, making him a little more cautious.
TL: Isn’t it just a battle between the few candidates?
