Demon’s Diary - 1486. Chapter 1486-1418 Ceremony

Three days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Demon Emperor’s tribute ceremony.

Liu Ming put on a brand new costume of the Qing Family Patriarch, and after admonishing Qing Yu and others not to go out to cause trouble, An Xin waited in Zhenxin Garden, and then came to the third city of the Central Imperial City alone, which is the Demon Palace. forward.

Today is the tribute ceremony, so the gates of the Demon Palace are wide open, but if you want to enter, you naturally have to go through more stringent investigations.

…

The sky of the entire central imperial city was shrouded in brilliant glow, the buildings in the Demon Palace were even brighter, and the flowers, plants and trees in the imperial palace bloomed in brilliant colors under the influence of spells.

The ceremony was held on a huge square in the Demon Palace. The square was dozens of miles in size. The ground was paved with a black and bright spar, which was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the shadows of people clearly.

At this moment, the surroundings of the square have been arranged. At the front is a high platform more than ten feet high. A long table is set on it, full of various offerings, but at this moment there is still no one on the high platform.

On the square, there are rows of spacious chairs, and there is a small table next to it. There are a variety of precious fruits and fragrant teas on it. Place the things in the tray in your hand on the small table.

Liu Ming was now following the bustling flow of people to the square, and at the same time he couldn’t help looking around with interest.

In the entire square, many family patriarchs or elders who came on behalf of the patriarchs had already gathered, and at first glance there were thousands of people.

The Patriarchs and elders present were basically at the cultivation level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but the more than a dozen people sitting in the forefront had a deep and restrained aura, and they had reached the realm of Tongxuan.

Liu Ming secretly smacked his tongue. Perhaps the celestial phenomena of the Zhongtian Continent, the cultivators of Tongxuan are not less than those of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, but it is basically impossible to gather such a large number of people.

During that time to resist the invasion of the Mother Borer, the Zhongtian Continent United Front could not gather so many top-rank cultivators.

At this moment, the ceremony has not yet begun. The family patriarchs and elders on the square are in groups, or they formed a circle, or whispered, or talked and laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

In front of the square closest to the high platform, you can clearly see three groups of people. Among them are the three heads of the Gaohe family, the Long family, and the Kongxiang family. With three people.

In the periphery, many family patriarchs surrounded the past, seemingly want to say a word with the three great family lords.

Liu Ming shook his head and smiled. He was naturally not interested in taking part in the excitement. He sat down in an unremarkable place near the back, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

There were more and more people in the square, and it became more and more noisy.

About half an hour later, with the sound of three melodious bells, the centennial tributary ceremony of the Central Dynasty finally began!

The voice on the square quickly subsided, and a group of honor guards in long robes appeared near the high platform.

As the third bell fell, a burst of melodious music fluttered from nowhere. In the distance, a purple glow came from the horizon like a slow and ill roll. It fell in front of the high platform. The purple light converged, and one seemed to be A man with a purple robe and a golden crown appeared in front of the crowd, who was about forty years old, and then stepped up to the high platform in front of him.

Liu Ming’s eyes narrowed. Although he had never seen this person before, he guessed that he was the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, Zhao Qianying’s father Huangfu Yong.

Upon closer inspection, the face of this person is somewhat similar to that of Huangfu Liushui who fell in the Great Chaos Demon Array. On that day, Huangfu Liushui gave himself the key to the Demon Abyss before he died, so he had the opportunity to enter the magical realm of the Demon Abyss. So I was very impressed by it.

There was a strange feeling in Liu Ming’s heart, but fortunately, there were three other people who followed the Demon Emperor and fell in front of the high platform with Xiaguang, attracting his attention.

One of them was an old man with a refined face in purple robe, the other was a middle-aged silver-haired man with a ugly face, and the last was a slender masked woman. The breath of the three of them, intentionally or unintentionally, was very It was terrible, and they were all demons of the Tongxuan Realm.

Liu Ming’s eyes fell on the slender masked woman, his eyes flashed, and his face showed a thoughtful color.

Just after the three of them took the stage, another group of more than twenty people stepped onto the high stage.

This time, the crowd was quite young, with men and women, all dressed in purple elegant Chinese clothes.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, and he learned from the discussion of the surrounding crowd that these people were directly from the Huangfu family.

He glanced in the crowd subconsciously, and at this moment, a purple figure immediately jumped into his eyes, her pupils shrank slightly. This woman is not someone else, but Zhao Qianying.

Liu Ming couldn’t help but jump in his heart, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Qianying, with a fair and flawless face, white teeth and red lips, looking forward to her appearance, she wore purple hair casually draped over her shoulders, but her expression was a little less leisurely and a little more solemn.

When Liu Ming looked at her, she seemed to feel something, her beautiful eyes turned, passed through the layers of people, and landed on Liu Ming.

Liu Ming’s complexion froze, but under Zhao Qianying’s bright eyes, she sighed inwardly, nodded to him, and smiled faintly.

Zhao Qianying’s pretty face reddened slightly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly looked away.

There was a trace of embarrassment on Liu Ming’s face, and he looked at the princes next to Zhao Qianying.

These royal nobles have different cultivation bases, most of them are true pills, crystal-transforming cultivation bases, and only the seven or eight people standing in the front row of the celestial realm.

Liu Ming turned his eyes and looked at a red-haired young man.

This person looks similar to Huangfu Liushui, and his breath is also the largest among the princes. He is already the cultivation base of the celestial peak, and he has already stepped into the realm of Tongxuan with one foot.

Liu Ming’s eyes flickered. He had long heard that while wandering around the imperial city these days, among the descendants of the Demon Emperor, a prince named Huangfu Jiangu had the highest cultivation level.

After the fall of Huangfu River, Huangfu Jiangu naturally ascended the most popular candidate for the next throne.

Among the other celestial phenomena, there is also a thin-faced young man who has reached the late stage of the celestial phenomena. Except for these two people, Zhao Qianying’s cultivation is the highest.

With a light movement of Liu Ming’s brows, he returned to his calm appearance again.

The melodious ritual music had stopped at this moment, and Huangfu Yong stood at the forefront of the high platform, watching the thousands of patrons below, with a smile on his face.

“Today, I am thankful that you came from a long distance and gathered together, which made the emperor very pleased.” Huangfu Yong said in a loud voice. Although the voice was not loud, it spread far away, and it spread to the ears of everyone present. middle. .

The patrons below heard the words and got up together, bowed towards the high platform and saluted.

Huangfu Yong paused for a moment and continued:

“The situation on the mainland is a bit turbulent right now. The Liu family and Dashuo are collaborating with each other, occupying the four counties…”

After Huangfu Yong gave an introductory remark, the tributary ceremony officially began. Patriarchs from all over the world came under the high platform one by one and presented the tribute, which was collected, registered and chanted by the person in charge of paying the tribute. come out.

This link is a time to demonstrate the strength of the masters. In fact, the Central Dynasty did not have any specific requirements for tribute. It was just a ceremony. The purpose was to gather these families in the imperial city as a means to test loyalty and power control. .

In order to show their loyalty and at the same time show their strength in front of the major forces, the major families will pay as much as possible.

The first to offer the offering was naturally the Patriarch of the three great families, Gaohe, Longjia, and Kongxiang. Naturally, they were also the three forces that paid the most tribute. The magic crystals offered alone were hundreds of millions of dollars, and the treasures of other materials were even more important. Countless, so that everyone in the audience was speechless.

But what was most unexpected was that after the three great masters presented their offerings, they did not return to their original seats, but were invited by Huang Fu Yong to the high platform and sat down in front of the demon emperor’s throne.

This action immediately caused a lot of discussions among the people below, and above this solemn ceremony, any action represented a certain meaning.

The three great masters and Huangfu Yong were sitting at the same table, and the close eyes between them could be seen.

“Brother Zhao, I didn’t expect this year’s tributary matter. Not only did the patriarchs of the three great tribes come to the scene in person, but the relationship with the Demon Sovereign was so close to this point. It seems that the Liu family rebels seem aggressive, but the prospects are worrying!” Next to Liu Ming Not far away, the two Celestial Realm Patriarchs were communicating with inaudible voices.

However, Liu Ming’s consciousness was far superior to ordinary people, and his spiritual consciousness was far superior to the two, so he naturally heard this conversation clearly.

Liu Ming calmly swept away from the corner of his eyes, it turned out that the other party was more than ten feet away on his right side. One of the middle-aged men was dressed in a gray robe and had an ordinary face, probably with the strength of the early days of the sky.

The other was a thin old man with gray hair.

Liu Ming didn’t know the two of them, but looking at the family mark on the two of them, they should be the heads of the more remote states and counties.

“Humph! The Liu Family’s rebellion was purely a death-seeking behavior. The Huangfu family has controlled the Ten Thousand Demon Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. Not only is it powerful, but it has long been entrenched. Although the Liu family has a slight upper hand, no matter how it is measured, it is It can’t be the enemy of the Central Dynasty, and looking at the situation at the moment, Lord Demon Sovereign has already subdued the three great clans, and the Liu family is not far from the time of defeat.” The thin old man sneered, his voice slightly hoarse.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although he didn’t know what method the Demon Emperor used, but at this moment, the three great clans had clearly stood on the side of the Central Dynasty. If the Liu family had no countermeasures, the situation was indeed precarious.

At the same time, most of the Patriarchs and elders on the square were talking, but most of them held this view.

As a result, those families who had a wait-and-see attitude could not help but start to recalculate after seeing this scene.

The ceremony of giving offerings continued. After the three great families, the heads or elders of some great families also stepped forward and handed in their tribute.

After more than an hour, the tribute ceremony finally ended.

During the period, Liu Ming naturally also stepped forward and offered the tribute items prepared by the Qing family. These items were also carefully prepared by Qinggu and others, but here, there was nothing outstanding.

Liu Ming wanted this effect.
