Demon's Diary

Chapter 1486: Demons Dance indiscriminately 1418
Three days passed in a flash, and in the 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 Patriarch of the Qing Family. After warning Qing Yu and the others not to go out and cause trouble, and to wait in Zhenxin Garden with peace of mind, he came to the third district of the Central Imperial City alone, which is the Demon Palace. forward.

Today is the tribute ceremony, so the gate of the Demon Palace is wide open, but if you want to enter, you will naturally have to go through a more stringent interrogation.

……

The sky of the entire central imperial city was shrouded in brilliant rays of light, and the buildings in the Demon Palace were lit up with colorful lights, and the flowers, plants and trees in the palace were even under the influence of spells, blooming in colorful colors.

The grand ceremony was held on a huge square in the Demon Palace. The square was tens of miles in size. The ground was paved with a kind of black and bright spar, which was as smooth as a mirror and could clearly reflect the silhouette of people.

At this moment, the layout around the square has been completed. In the front is a high platform more than ten feet high. There is a long table on it, filled with various offerings, but there is still no one on the high platform at the moment.

On the square, there are rows of spacious chairs, and there is a small table next to it, on which are placed various rare fruits and fragrant teas. Many servant-like devils shuttle back and forth, from time to time Put the contents of the tray in your hand on the small table.

Liu Ming was following the bustling crowd of people to the square, and at the same time looked around with great interest.

In the whole square, many patriarchs of aristocratic families or elders who came on behalf of the patriarchs had already gathered. At first glance, there were thousands of people.

The Patriarchs and elders present were basically in the Celestial Phenomena Realm, but the ten or so people sitting in the front had a deep and restrained aura, and they had reached the Tongxuan Realm impressively.

Liu Ming clicked his tongue secretly. Perhaps the celestial phenomena in the Zhongtian Continent, Tongxuan monks are not less than those in the Wanmo Continent, but it is basically impossible to gather such a large number of people.

That time against the invasion of the mother of locusts, the Zhongtian Continent United Front may not have been able to gather so many top monks.

At this moment, the grand ceremony has not yet started, and the patriarchs and elders of the aristocratic families on the square are in groups, or form a circle, or whisper, or talk and laugh loudly, and the atmosphere is quite peaceful.

In front of the square closest to the high platform, three groups of people can be clearly seen. Among them are the three heads of the Gao He family, the Long family, and the Kong Xiang family. With three people.

On the periphery, many patriarchs of aristocratic families surrounded them, as if they wanted to have a word with the heads of the three great families.

Liu Ming shook his head and smiled. Naturally, he was not interested in joining in the excitement. He found an inconspicuous seat near the back and sat down, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

There are more and more people in the square, and it is getting more and more noisy.

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

The sound on the square quickly subsided, and groups of guards of honor in robes appeared near the high platform.

As the third bell fell, a burst of melodious music came from nowhere, and a purple glow from the distant sky seemed to roll slowly and quickly, and landed in front of the high platform. A 40-year-old man in a purple robe and golden crown appeared in front of everyone, and then climbed up the steps to the high platform in front of him.

Liu Ming's eyes were fixed. Although he had never seen this person before, he guessed that he was the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, Zhao Qianying's father Huangfuyong.

Upon closer inspection, this person was somewhat similar to the face of Huangfu Liushui who fell into the Great Chaos Moluo Formation. Huangfu Liushui gave him the key of the Demon Abyss before his death that day, so he had the opportunity to enter the illusion of the Demon Abyss. So very impressed with 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 the glow, attracting his attention.

One of them is an elegant old man in purple robes, the other is a silver-haired middle-aged man with a hideous face, and the last one is a slender masked woman. Terrifying, they are all demons at the Tongxuan Realm.

Liu Ming's eyes fell on the slender masked woman, his eyes flickered, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Just after the three came to the stage, another group of more than [-] people stepped onto the high stage.

This time the crowd was quite young, both men and women, all dressed in elegant purple attire.

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

He subconsciously glanced at the crowd, and at this moment, a beautiful purple figure jumped into his eyes, and his pupils shrank slightly. This woman was none other than Zhao Qianying.

Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Qianying has a fair and flawless face, white teeth and red lips, looking forward to a lively appearance, with purple hair casually scattered on her shoulders, but her expression is a little less leisurely and more solemn.

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

Liu Ming's face froze, but under the gaze of Zhao Qianying's bright eyes like water, he secretly sighed in his heart, nodded to him from afar, and smiled slightly.

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

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Ming's face, and he looked at the princes beside Zhao Qianying.

These royal nobles have different cultivation bases, most of them are real pills and crystal cultivation bases, and there are only seven or eight people standing in the front row in the Celestial Phenomena Realm.

Liu Ming turned his gaze to a red-haired young man.

This person's appearance looks somewhat similar to Huangfu Liushui's, and his aura is also the largest among all the princes. He is already at the peak of Tianxiang, and has faintly stepped into the realm of Tongxuan.

Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly. When he was wandering outside the imperial city these days, he had heard that among the demon emperor's heirs, a prince named Huangfu Jiangu had the highest cultivation level.

After Huangfu Liushui fell, Huangfu Jiangu naturally became the most popular candidate for the next throne.

Among the other Celestial Realm clansmen, there was a young man with a thin face who had reached the late Celestial Stage. Apart from these two, Zhao Qianying's cultivation was considered the highest.

With a slight frown, Liu Ming regained his calm appearance.

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

"Thanks to all of you who came here from afar today, I am very pleased to be here together." Huangfu Yonglang said, although the voice was not loud, it spread far and wide, and reached the ears of everyone present with incomparable clarity. middle. .

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

Huangfu Yong paused for a moment, then continued:
"The current situation in the mainland is slightly turbulent. The Liu family and Da Shuo have colluded and occupied the four counties..."

After Huangfu Yong made some opening remarks, the tribute ceremony officially began. The heads of the families from all over the country came to the high platform one by one, and offered the tribute, and the person in charge of receiving the offering was responsible for collecting, registering and singing. come out.

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

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

The first ones to offer offerings were of course Gao He, the heads of the three powerful families, Long Family, and Kong Xiang. Naturally, they were also the three forces that paid the most tribute. Countless, the people in the audience were stunned.

But the most unexpected thing was that after the offerings, the three masters did not return to their original seats, but were invited by Huangfu Yong to the high platform and sat down in front of the Demon Emperor's throne.

This action immediately aroused a lot of discussion among the crowd below. Above such a solemn ceremony, any action represents a certain meaning.

The three masters sat at the same table with Huangfu Yong, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the intimacy between them.

"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect this year's tribute event. Not only did the patriarchs of the three major clans come to the scene in person, but they also have such a close relationship with the Demon Emperor. It seems that the Liu family's rebels seem to be aggressive, but the prospect is bleak!" Not far away, two Celestial Phenomena Realm Patriarchs were communicating with each other in inaudible voices.

However, Liu Ming's sense of consciousness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and his spiritual sense is far superior to the two of them, so he naturally heard this conversation clearly.

Liu Ming calmly glanced out of the corner of his eye, and it turned out that the other party was more than ten feet away to his right. One of them was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with an ordinary face, probably with the strength of the early days of Tianxiang.

The other was a thin old man with gray hair.

The two Liu Ming didn't know each other, but judging from the family marks on the two of them, they should be the patriarchs of relatively remote states and counties.

"Hmph! The Liu family's rebellion was purely an act of seeking death. The Huangfu family has controlled the Ten Thousand Demons Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. It may be the enemy of the Central Dynasty, and judging from the current situation, Lord Demon Emperor has subdued the three great families, and the Liu family is not far from the end." 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 families had clearly sided with the Central Dynasty. If the Liu family didn't have any means against the sky, the situation would indeed be in jeopardy.

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

As a result, those families who had originally held a wait-and-see attitude couldn't help recalculating in their hearts after seeing this scene.

The offering ceremony continued. Following the three major families, the heads or elders of some great families also stepped forward one by one to hand in their tribute.

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

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

Liu Ming wanted exactly this effect.
