Chapter 1507: Internal and External Troubles
For a moment, no one spoke in the meeting hall. The atmosphere became a little heavy.
“Your Majesty, this matter is not only related to the prestige of our Central Imperial, but will also greatly affect the current situation. Please let us know what to do!” Huangfu Zhantian suddenly stood up, looked at Zhao Qianying, and bowed.
Although he bowed, Zhao Qianying knew that he was just acting. There was not much respect in his expression, but rather a questioning look.
“Elder Zhantian, Her Majesty will make her own decision. This matter is important, how could it be handled so rashly?” Huangfu Yupo also stood up and said coldly to Huangfu Zhantian.
“It depends on who is handling it. A decision must be made as soon as possible to minimize the damage. If Elder Yupo is unwilling to lead the army, I will do it for her.” Huangfu Zhantian looked at Huangfu Yupo and said faintly.
“Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be handled with caution. It is best to investigate clearly first before making any decision.” Huangfu Yupo ignored Huangfu Zhantian and said to Zhao Qianying.
“I appreciate Elder Zhantian for your devotion to the imperial, but Elder Yupo’s words make sense too.” Zhao Qianying nodded, then she said to the middle-aged man with silver hair,
“Elder Tong, keep the investigation going and report to me immediately if there is any progress.”
“Will do.” The middle-aged man with silver hair took the order.
“Elder Yupo, as the commander, you are still solely responsible for countering the rebellion. You should also prepare for the expedition tomorrow. When there is any news from Elder Tong, I will notify you as soon as possible.” Zhao Qianying pondered for a moment and said so.
“As you order.” Huangfu Yupo frowned slightly, then she sighed and said.
On the other side, Huangfu Zhantian also cupped his fist toward Zhao Qianying without saying a word. An imperceptible strange look flashed across his face.
“Since you all have no objections, the matter has been settled. Elder Zhantian and Elder Tong will leave first. Elder Yupo will stay and discuss with me the details of the expedition.” Seeing this, Zhao Qianying waved her hand gently and commanded.
Huangfu Zhantian left without doing the courtesy.
The middle-aged man with silver hair bowed before walking out.
“Huangfu Zhantian is becoming more and more arrogant now. Nowadays, many elders listen only to him. They disregard Your Majesty more and more.” After they left the hall, Huangfu Yupo said angrily.
“It’s because of my lack of strength that the family is divided. Although I managed to advance to the Mystic Comprehending State with the help of the Void Demonic Cauldron, my understanding of the laws has always been stagnant. I can’t intimidate these elders.” Zhao Qianying shook her head and sighed softly.
“Ying’er, you don’t need to blame yourself. There has been no news from the Past Demon Emperor. Otherwise, how would Huangfu Zhantian and others dare to cause trouble! By the way, what happened to you and Liu Ming after rushing to Han State that day? Where is His Majesty now? After I arrived with the army that day, there was only Liu Huifeng’s corpse. All of you had disappeared without a trace.” Huangfu Yupo comforted Zhao Qianying for a few words and changed the topic.
Zhao Qianying frowned, sighed after a moment, and said solemnly,
“Master, regarding this matter, my father originally ordered me not to mention it to anyone. However, now that the Central Dynasty is constantly experiencing internal and external troubles, and Master is the person I trust most and is closest to me, so it’s better to discuss with master. Master, please don’t tell the others about this.”
“Don’t worry Ying’er, I of course know about this.” Huangfu Yupo looked solemn, and she cast a layer of soundproof enchantment.
“When Liu Ming and I arrived there that day, Liu Huifeng was presiding over the ritual of summoning the demon corpses in the canyon. Just when we wanted to evacuate, we were accidentally discovered by him. Fortunately, Elder Xin suddenly appeared and helped us out.” Zhao Qianying said faintly.
Although Liu Ming was suspected of taking advantage of Huangfu Xin, they were in a bad situation at the time. If Huangfu Xin had not appeared, they wouldn’t be able to escape from Liu Huifeng.
“Elder Xin was there too!?” Huangfu Yupo said in surprise.
“Yes, Elder Xin is the father’s confidant. I guess father secretly sent him to Han State.” Zhao Qianying said this and sighed.
“After that, a big battle broke out between Elder Xin and Liu Huifeng, and they were both injured, then Liu Ming suddenly ambushed and killed Liu Huifeng.” Zhao Qianying continued.
“Celestial State killed Mystic Comprehending State, how is this possible?” Huangfu Yupo couldn’t help but be moved when she heard this.
Although Liu Ming was not weak in cultivation and his strength was much higher than that of the same level, he was only a Celestial State demon after all. Even though Liu Huifeng was seriously injured, he was still a powerful person who had been in the Mystic Comprehending State for countless years. He must have a lot of insights into the law powers. How could he be compared to a Celestial State demon who had just touched the edge of the law.
“Actually… his ability to kill Liu Huifeng should not be due to his own strength. Liu Ming was accompanied by a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse. That was why he was so strong.” Zhao Qianying hesitated and said.
When Huangfu Yupo heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
“I also know this Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse. He is Huangfu Tian.” Zhao Qianying said slowly.
“Huangfu Tian… He is still alive!?” Huangfu Yupo said in surprise.
“He is not considered alive. He only has a soul and half a broken body left now. He should be staying in Liu Ming’s body as a form of possession. After Huangfu Tian obtained Liu Huifeng’s Demonic Demon Whip, he wanted to kill Elder Xin too, but Elder Xin escaped from there with an avatar technique.” Zhao Qianying shook her head, then she told everything that happened later.
“… Father told me about these later. I don’t know where Liu Ming and Huangfu Tian went after that.” Zhao Qianying recounted the events in one breath.
After hearing this, Huangfu Yupo was digesting the news.
“It turns out that the situation back then was so twists and turns. No wonder all of you disappeared without a trace after I got there. But thanks to me getting Liu Huifeng’s corpse, I was able to crush the Liu Family’s fighting spirit and annihilate them in one fell swoop.” Huangfu Yupo said with a sigh.
Zhao Qianying nodded and sighed faintly.
“Eh, wait, something seems a little wrong!” Huangfu Yupo suddenly said in shock.
“Why?” Zhao Qianying looked at it with beautiful eyes and asked.
“According to your words, Elder Xin escaped from Liu Ming and Huangfu Tian, but he never appeared again. About that time, Elder Xin’s vitality lamp in the family was also distinguished. Until today, everyone thought that he died somewhere while performing the secret mission of Demon Emperor, but it seems that this is not the case.” Huangfu Yupo said in a deep voice.
“I also feel that this matter is quite strange. Looking at the situation that day, although he and Liu Huifeng were both injured, the injuries were not fatal. He should not have died due to the injuries.” Zhao Qianying said with a slight frown.
“Could it be that there were others who went to Han State that day besides you? Could it be that Elder Xin was ambushed and killed by others after escaping from the canyon?” Huangfu Yupo said.
“This is not impossible.” Zhao Qianying said with a thoughtful expression.
“Forget it, this matter has happened for many years. It is useless to make random speculations now. Ying’er, how did you escape from the Demon Abyss after that? Where is Demon Emperor now? It is as simple as cultivating in seclusion, right?” Huangfu Yupo continued to ask.
“At that time, when Father and I escaped from the Void Demonic Cauldron, we found ourselves in Demon Abyss. Father was seriously injured due to a previous battle with Huangfu Tian, so we first looked for a place to recuperate. After recovering from the injury, Father tried to use the Void Demonic Cauldron to break through the s.p.a.ce and return to the Thousands Demons Continent, but the process was not smooth.” Zhao Qianying said with a frown.
“With the power of Demon Emperor and the Void Demonic Cauldron, it still couldn’t be done? I think the Liu Family had long been planning to break open the s.p.a.ce to the Demon Abyss. This cunning Liu Huifeng must have done something when the Demon Abyss was opened.” Huangfu Yupo said coldly.
“It is possible. Father, in desperation, wanted to find another way, but at this moment, the demon corpse of Liu Family’s semi-Eternal State ancestor suddenly came out of Inner Abyss, trying to seize Father’s Void Demonic Cauldron. Father had no choice but to fight with him.” Zhao Qianying continued.
“Liu Family’s demon corpse ancestor? That golden demon corpse at the bottom of Demon Abyss Tower?” Huangfu Yupo took a deep breath. The strength of the golden demon corpse that day still caused trauma to her heart.
“Yes, it was the ancient demon corpse. Father fought with him. Finally, with the magical use of the Void Demonic Cauldron, he guided the attack of the demon corpse and opened a s.p.a.ce tunnel to Thousands Demons Continent. The situation was critical at that time, so
Father pa.s.sed the Void Demonic Cauldron to me and sent me back to the Thousands Demons Continent, but he stayed in the Demon Abyss to resist the golden demon corpse.” Up to this point, Zhao Qianying took a deep breath to control her emotions.
“The moment before Father sent me into the s.p.a.ce tunnel, he asked me to take over the Central Imperial. He also told me not to leak what happened in Demon Abyss to anyone and asked me to declare to the outside world that he was in seclusion to comprehend Eternal State.”
Zhao Qianying’s eyes turned slightly red as she said this.
It was at that moment that she truly forgave her father and recognized him as her father.
