Against the Gods

The clouds looked up, and in a place in the northeast of the city, they did see a flurry of purple light. It's just that the violet light is a little faint, and if you don't pay attention to it, you might even ignore it directly.

“What is that purple light?” Yunchuan asked.

“It is the light of our ancestral monument," said Yunshao. Our Yunjia cultivates thunderous Xuan Gong. Xuan Qi is purple when released. The stronger the Xuan Power, the deeper the purple color. And... Brother Yun, have you heard of Xuanxuan? ”

Yunchuan nodded: “I know, it's the unique blood power of the Yunchuan family, right? ”

“Mmm.” Speaking of Xuan Xiao's face flashed visibly, he continued: “Xuan Xiao's most extreme state is purple, so purple has always been the most sacred color for the Cloud family. At Yunjia, every Yunjia disciple must release his full powers to the monument once a year on his birthday, thus preserving the purple glow of the monument at all times. According to my father, a hundred years ago, at the height of the clouds, the light of the ancestral monuments was long reflected in the skies of half the Imperial City, and now… as you can see, the faintness is almost impossible to detect. And the weakening of the purple light on the ancestral monument is the most direct reflection of the dramatic weakening of the comprehensive strength of the cloud family...”

“The demon king's life and death are unknown. How can the blow to the clouds be so great?” Yunchuan said in surprise.

“If it's just my grandfather's life and death, of course not. There's a lot more involved in this…” The clouds and shadows are dimmed.

Yunchuan silenced for a while and slowed down the speed of flight, "Yunchao, can you tell me in detail the reasons for the decline of the Yuncha family, after all, my last name is Yun, so I'm curious... of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it. ”

Yun Xiao shook his head: “There is nothing convenient and inconvenient about this, because it is no secret at all in the realm of phantom demons, you can just ask. If Brother Yun wants to know, of course I have no reason to hide it. ”

Yun Xiao looked up slightly and felt slightly sad: “A hundred years ago, the Yun family did flourish for a moment, because the position of the head of the Twelve Guardians family was never shaken because of the use of Xuan Xiao. It can be said that in addition to the Phantom Demon royal family... that is, the Demon royal family guarded by the twelve families, the Cloud family. The Yun family has been loyal to the Phantom Demon King for generations. The Phantom Demon King has always been the most important and trustworthy of the Yun family. Even the most important treasure of the Phantom Demon King - the return mirror - has been entrusted to the Yun family for guardianship... In the grandfather's generation, Grandpa and the Demon King have not only a monarch relationship, but grew up together, practiced together, best friends, no exaggeration of life and death. Our cloud family is a human race, but Grandpa is sealed by the demon king as the ‘demon king’. The implicit metaphor is that we can sit flat with the demon king. This is a great honor for the entire cloud family, and it is a privilege that 11 other guardian families simply cannot envy. ”

“But more than two hundred years ago, forces from different continents suddenly broke in, and those people came from a place called the Tian Xuan Continent, and they seemed to have built a transmission array that could travel millions of miles to reach the demonic realm, and their arrival was not a mere visit, but a naked invasion, and they didn't know where to find out that our demonic realm of the demonic royal clan had a powerful enough power to fight back against the sky, so they wanted to take it. Each of them was extremely powerful, and every time they came, they carried a powerful escape treasure, so that the Imperial City was invaded once, they couldn't help it. In a hundred years, they invaded more than 20 times. A hundred years ago, His Majesty the Demon was finally intolerable. After another invasion, they pursued him with anger. They chased him until he reached the transmission Xuan Array used by those people. Under impulse, he rushed into the transmission array that the other party could not undo. He was transferred to Tianxuan Mainland with the other party. Shortly afterwards, the message of His Majesty the Demon dying in Tianxuan Mainland was sent... no further news. ”

Yunche: “…”

“Every one of those invaders is powerful and terrible. His Majesty the Demon Emperor, though powerful, will only die ten lives in the land of the other side. The Demon Emperor family has also accepted this fact. But my grandfather was always reluctant to believe that the demon emperor was dead. Later, Grandpa used the secrets of the Clouds family to cut open a space passage to Tian Xuan mainland, then, despite all the persuasion, took the ten strongest elders of the family to Tian Xuan mainland in search of the demon emperor. ”

“The ten strongest elders?” The clouds were slightly shocked.

“Hmm." Yun Xiao nodded: “Counting Grandpa, they were the 11 strongest seniors in the Yun family at the time, but they never came back after that. Until a few months later, news came from Tian Xuan mainland that Grandpa had been captured alive in exchange for his life by the demon King Zhibao, guardian of the Yun family for generations. However, more people think Grandpa is dead, Tian Xuan mainland people say Grandpa is being held in captivity only to deceive Yun family to hook up. ”

Yunche: “…”

“The Clouds lost the 11 strongest core strong men, and their top strength suddenly dropped to the weakest of the Twelve. Most seriously, when Grandpa went to Tian Xuan mainland, he was carrying the demon seal of the Phantom Demon King. For the Phantom Demon King, the seal was more important than the treasure wheel mirror, and related to the inheritance ceremony before the inheritance of the Demon King. Afterwards, they all said that Grandpa not only buried himself under impulse, but also lost the most important thing of the demonic royal family... and this great sin had to be borne by the entire cloud family. Cloud families were punished, not only for the 50% decline in resources received each year, but also for a hundred years not to enter the 'Golden Urex Valley’. ”

“Reduced resources, which do not allow access to even the best places of experience and adventure, have little impact on previous generations, but they have enormous impact on younger generations. This also makes the new generation of Yunjia disciples far less powerful than other guardian families, and even Xuanxi's power is difficult to make up for. ”

“Shortly after the incident between the Demon King and Grandpa, the Phantom Demon King family had to re-establish the new Demon King. Therefore, the only son of His Majesty the Demon inherited... However, without the Demon Seal, the inheritance cannot be carried out, and there is no 'Golden Ugly Seal’, which is destined not to be a true Demon Emperor, can only be called the 'Demon Emperor’... The next day after the Demon Emperor inherited power, he married the demon queen, but no one thought that on the night of his wedding, the demon emperor did not return to his new house... The demon emperor left a letter saying that he had not avenged his father, and that he had not returned within three years, he would make the demon queen a demon queen of illusions... However, less than ten days later, the demon emperor died on the Tianxuan mainland. ”

Yunche: “…”

In the Tian Xuan continent, the four holy places are incredibly sacred. Legend has it that they guard the entire Tian Xuan continent, isolating crises from different continents, especially against the "tiger gaze” and “ambitious” demonic realm. In the legend of Tian Xuan Continent, the phantom demon realm is a terrible and vicious place, ready to annexe Tian Xuan Continent... the phantom demon realm people are called evil “demons”.

But what Yunchuan heard at this time is the exact opposite of the rumors of Tian Xuan Continent.

The evil is not the demonic realm that is constantly being ugly, but the holy places in the name of holiness and guardianship...

“Later.” The clouds asked clarity.

Yun Xiao continued: "Later, the little demon succeeded, becoming the new king of phantom demons. Later... our cloud family suffered another huge blow, because of the constant news from Tianxuan mainland that my grandfather was not dead, but was being held in custody. Twenty-five years ago, the father could not bear it anymore. The mother and the father started the secret machine again, and quietly went to Tianxuan mainland to find Grandpa. At that time, I was not yet born... Three years later, my parents finally came back. Although they came back alive, they were all severely injured, and because of the long escape, they had no time to take care of the injuries, leading to a complete loss of veins and a virtual total loss of their powers. And I, too, was born unfortunately in Tianxuan Mainland, involving my parents to take me away... and then bring me safely back to the demonic realm. ”

Speaking of this, Yunxiao lowered his head to prevent Yunchua from seeing the difference in his eyes, and then lowered his voice to continue: “The strong man of the Yunjia family would have faded away, and after his parents were abandoned, he again caused a great blow to the strength of the Yunjia family. And most seriously, when parents went to Tianxuan Mainland, they wore the treasure guarded by the Phantom Demon royal family - the mirror, and they returned to the Phantom Demon Realm... but lost the mirror. The Cloud House, which carries the sin of losing the Imperial Seal, thus adding the first degree of sin, is more heavily punished, the resources obtained are reduced by 90% each year, and it is never allowed to enter the 'Golden Urei Valley’. The Phantom Demon King's family is greatly angry, even to drive our Cloud House out of the 12 guardian families. ”

“Since it is so important, when they go to Tian Xuan, they should know the dangers they may encounter and why bring them with them?” The clouds were puzzled to ask, which was also a question he had been perplexing.

Yun Xiao silenced down and hesitated for a while before whispering: “I heard my mother secretly tell me once that, in fact, it was the behest of the little demon queen. ”

“What does the little demon mean? ”

“Well, that thing called the Rewind Mirror has been handed down to the Phantom King for many years, and although it is called the treasure of the heavens, it is said that no one in that generation has ever seen it play any role, and no one has ever known how to use it and what it can do. The demon queen said to her father that it would be worth a fortune to exchange such a useless treasure for the life of the demon king... When the father came back, he failed to bring back his grandfather and lost the mirror, he did not say that taking the mirror back meant the demon queen, but put all the blame on himself... because after the demon queen inherited power, there were many nonnegotiators, and the father did not want the demon queen to be put under greater pressure. After that, the cloud family forces fell again, and my father's reputation was even more..."

Yun Xiao sighed for a long time, sounding his father, his heart ached.

Yunchuan slowly digested the words of Yunchao. Something he said basically overlapped with what Yunchuan heard from the sea of clouds and confirmed that Yunchao was making a very serious statement and not lying. After a moment of silence, Yunchuang suddenly whispered: “Yun Xiao, your father is still the owner of the Yun family... his Xuan power has been abandoned and all the evil has been blamed on himself. Didn't your family force him to step down? ”

“... because of my grandfather.” Yun Xiaoyuan said: “Grandpa is the owner of the Mu family, I also have an uncle, a young owner of the Mu family, they all have great reputation and status in the Imperial City. Grandpa and uncle are especially good for their mothers. Grandpa's support for his father is one of the reasons, coupled with the weakening power and decreasing status of our cloud family, if they want to remain in the 12th guardian family, they cannot leave the support of the Mu family... However, although the father is still in the position of the head of the family, the number of people listening to the father has been decreasing. Sometimes, the father's voice is not as good as that of a slightly higher elder. Too many elders never obey the father... They want the father to remain in the position of the head of the family, also simply because of the Mu family's deterrence, and do not want to lose the support of the Mu family. ”
