The conversation between Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng rang in Xia Qiu's ears. It was a little blurry at first, but gradually became clearer.
"Why are you so sure about that boy? In my opinion, he is very different from his father and grandfather." Lion King Cheng asked Ouyang Yong after thinking twice.
"Because he is a descendant of the Demon King Fox. He has the innate talent and potential of the Demon King Fox. The power of the Silver Fox Divine Lord in his body has also been awakened. All he needs is time and experience." Ouyang Yong answered firmly.
"In my opinion, he is just a young boy, and according to my observation, he is not even good at communicating with others. How can he become a king and lead the entire demon world?" Lion King Cheng continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
"Why does his character become like this? He is cold and wary. In addition to losing his parents when he was young, aren't we all also responsible?" Ouyang Yong deliberately emphasized the word "we" to make himself It also covers, "When his father, the late King Xue Ye, died, we as elders were unable to calm down the conflicts between the princes and nobles in the royal city, nor could we unify their opinions. Xiao Leng, as a descendant of the Demon King Fox, could not even Living peacefully in the palace that should belong to him in the Demon Realm King City, he can only be left to Hongye to raise him in the human world. What he carries is far from what we give him. How can a child who grows up in such a situation be able to Be happy?!”
"Alas, now is not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong. The disaster facing the demon world now is related to the life and death of each of us. Even if the crisis in Tianquan Palace is calmed down, we still have to face the war with Qingyun. , don’t you think it has reached a point of despair?” Lion King Cheng sighed and said, in his opinion, the demon world is doomed, “I am willing to use my last bit of strength, but it is only a drop in the bucket, I will try my best It is my responsibility as the elder of the demon world to slow down the fall of the demon world as much as possible, but what is supposed to come will always come, no matter what we do."
"Actually, I have fallen into despair several times. When Master Li passed away, I also thought that this demon world might no longer have a future. But then Xue Ye rose up, and the demon world also prospered again. Although it was suppressed by Qingyun, Destroyed again, everything had to start over again. But I saw hope in Xiao Leng again, and I felt his changes. Since he met the human girl, his heart was gradually opened and he became Being more mature and considering the overall situation, I feel that the time for Xiao Leng, Xia Qiu and Qian Qi has arrived! No one can make a conclusion before everything is over, so I decided to use the rest of my life to gamble and believe Since I can do it once, can't you choose to believe it again?" Ouyang Yong expressed his truest feelings in one breath.
Belonging to the era of Xiao Leng, Xia Qiu and Qian Qi, these words echoed in Lion King Cheng's mind. Once upon a time, he had his own era. He was born in a princely family, but he was dissatisfied with living under the aura of his fathers. He joined the army of the late King Li from a young age, determined to become a brave warrior who was not afraid of life and death. . At that time, he was denied and doubted by countless people, who believed that the glory he received was only because of his noble birth. He himself was once discouraged, but the late King Li never gave up on him. If it weren't for his encouragement and affirmation , he will definitely not be able to fulfill his wish. This is also the reason why he respects and loves the late king Li, and in order to protect him, he even sacrifices himself. At this time, Xiao Leng and the others were exactly the same age as themselves back then, but they were faced with more denial and doubt than they were at that time.
He seemed to be able to understand Ouyang Yong's mood. Ouyang Xiaoleng and the late Wang Li had the same blood, and this was an important moment for them to believe and support his descendants, so he said: "Okay, I am willing to do it again." Believe it this time!”
Xia Qiu felt her heart surge with the conversation between Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng. She wanted to tell Ouyang Xiaoleng at the first moment that he had received Lion King Cheng's approval, but she couldn't do anything. The detached self should be just a shadow to people in this world.
The more she thought about it, the more her limbs became weaker and weaker, almost limp, and she didn't know who was holding her up from behind. It was her first time to experience the feeling of being touched while in a state of disembodiment. She turned around in panic and saw that the person standing behind her was Yuhe Sage. She didn't know why they met each other again in the soul separation, but in fact he came after her, and his reputation as the best soul separation ability user was definitely not in vain.
After she fell asleep on Changsheng Island, she quickly entered a state of separation, which was closely related to her excessive worry about the current situation of the royal city and Ouyang Xiaoleng. Yuhe Immortal, who was also in the process of soul separation, followed her all the way to the Tianquan Hall of Chenji Palace in the royal city. Her soul separation ability was obviously not strong enough. In soul separation, the soul will be disturbed by external emotions and cause greater harm. Fluctuating, becoming stronger and weaker, this was an extremely dangerous signal. He was fortunate that he was by her side and could give her appropriate guidance, otherwise her soul would be hurt. He held her hand and guided her. Her soul quickly returned to her own body on the Isle of Immortality along its original path.
When Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others rode their demon horses into the royal city of Yongchuan, what greeted them was a lifeless atmosphere. Except for a few scattered demon carriages of princes and nobles traveling to and from Chenji Palace, there was not a single pedestrian on the street. At this time in the past, It was a busy moment in the shopping street, but the doors and windows were closed at this moment. It seemed that the tense atmosphere in the royal city was more intense than when they left. They dismounted in front of Chenji Palace, called the demon horse away, and met a greeter in front of the palace. Their thorns.
"How is the situation in the royal city?" Ouyang Hongye asked as he and others followed the thorns towards the main hall.
"The situation is similar to what you saw. People everywhere are panicked. Many people are trying to rush to the world. Yongda ordered some of his subordinates to guard the Liangshengxuan corridor with the cavalry regiment from Dongyao. They tried but were unable to pass, and some just hid. Get up, and the rest are crowded into Chenji Palace." Jingjia replied.
"So... so many people are allowed to stay here?"
Ouyang Hongye saw that the palace was full of princes and nobles. Those people showed various expressions when they saw them coming back, and then they tried to surround them as if they had agreed. Fortunately, there were thorns to protect them, because the thorns were on their bodies. The sharp thorns and the bursting flames kept those people away. They could only retreat to the side with expressions of disgust, hesitating to speak.
"Master Yong and Elder Cheng have been suppressing the divine power leaking from the four divine pillars in the Tianquan Palace. Ever since you left the city to find the Tianfu, the guard of Chenji Palace has been relaxed! This is only a small part, the front hall has already They were so crowded that they even moved some necessities. Food and daily living are outside Tianshu Hall, where Shiyao Yanming is responsible for appeasing them. We should go around to the main hall from the nearby Yong Road." Jingji said while He guided them to the right.
Before entering the Tianquan Hall, Ouyang Hongye felt that the demon power of Master Yong and Shi Wangcheng was much weaker than when they left, so he said to himself: "Finally caught up! This heavenly talisman came just in time!" "
"Well, it's very timely. According to the current situation, Master Yong and Elder Cheng shouldn't be able to hold on for long. Just shaking a sacred pillar is already quite difficult for them. Although the situation has eased a bit after the Earth Talisman was delivered. But the conditions of the other two sacred pillars have been deteriorating in the past few days." Jingjiang responded with an anxious look on his face. In the past few days, when he reported to Lord Yong the situation reported back by Wang Cheng and Ouyang Hongye every day, he watched him getting worse and worse. The appearance of aging worried him.
Ouyang Xiaoleng walked even faster after hearing this. After walking into the Tianquan Hall, he saw two old people sitting with their breasts in their arms. Although it had only been a few days since they left, the two elders' figures were obviously much older. The demon power produced The outer layer of the cyclone has also become quite fragile.
Seeing Ouyang Xiaoleng and others come in, Ouyang Yong breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "If you don't come back, our two old bones will soon be wiped out."
Fenghuo rushed to Lion King Cheng in three steps and then knelt down next to him, "We are back, sir, and we have brought back the Tianfu."
"Xiao Leng, I need to use the power of the Silver Fox Divine Lord in your body again." Ouyang Yong nodded to Ouyang Xiao Leng and said.
After hearing this, Ouyang Hongye took out the bag containing the sky talisman from his arms and handed it to Ouyang Xiaoleng. After taking it, he activated the power of the Silver Soul Lord in his body again, revealing the true form of the Demon King Fox.
Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng exchanged glances, and at the same time untied the demon power chains binding the two sacred pillars of Suzaku and Xuanwu, while Xiao Leng removed the ribbon on the heavenly talisman at the same time. As the sky talisman was unfolded, it turned into an umbrella shape in the golden light, spinning and holding up into the air. The umbrella grew bigger and bigger, and finally covered the two sacred pillars of Suzaku and Xuanwu, completely sealing them again.
The two elders Ouyang Yong and Shi Wangcheng can finally move their stiff bodies. If it weren't for the thousand-year demon power and the strong body that is different from humans, how could they survive so many days of sleeplessness? Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiao Leng helped Ouyang Yong stand up from the ground and sit on the chair next to him, while Lion Cheng was helped up by Feng Huo and Wang Yue.
Just as he sat down, Ouyang Yong suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Where is Xia Qiu? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"After we met Yuhe Immortal in Xianhequan Township, he proposed to us a condition for exchanging heavenly talismans, which was to let Xia Qiu stay there with him for a period of time. Although we couldn't understand why he made this request, Xia Qiu did it for the sake of the demon world. I voluntarily accepted his request, so..." Ouyang Hongye was interrupted by Qian Qi before he finished speaking.
"So they made a deal with her without hesitation." Even though it had been many days, Qian Qi still felt angry and frustrated in her chest when she mentioned this matter, making her breathless.
"Don't make it sound like you were not with us at that time." Ouyang Xiaoleng retorted.
"She won't listen to my advice, but some people clearly could have persuaded her but didn't." Qian Qi also showed no sign of weakness.
"Although Immortal Yuhe doesn't have much contact with the outside world, I heard that he is a gentle person and never goes outside the Xianhe Spring Township. He is considered a reclusive master." Ouyang Yong tried to calm down the anger between the two teenagers.
"Maybe he's a weirdo, a weirdo with unknown origins," Qian Qi said childishly.
"At this point, it is useless to continue arguing. No one can change what has happened. It is better to save some energy and solve the problem in front of you. The only thing left is to wait." Ouyang Hongye patted Qianqi's shoulder. advised.
"Let us two old men take a short rest, and then we can start preparing for the ceremony." Lion King Cheng, who had been panting for a long time, suddenly said something.
"Grand ceremony? What grand ceremony?" Ouyang Hongye didn't react for a while.
"Of course it's Xiao Leng's succession ceremony." Ouyang Yong said with a smile.
