Since the real Demon King's Crown exists in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body, the most important part of the enthronement ceremony is the coronation. He will summon the Demon King's Crown from his body in front of everyone, and then Ouyang Yong, the Great Elder of the Demon World, will He is crowned.
Ouyang Hongye was worried that as the Demon King's Crown was the only key to the Black Fire Purgatory, people who had defected to Qingyun were very likely to ambush among the people attending the ceremony, waiting for an opportunity to steal it. Therefore, he deployed most of the troops he could mobilize around Tianquan Hall, and also arranged guards to guard each exit. In Tianquan Hall, there were him, Qianqi, Wangyue, Fenghuo, Yanming and Thorns. Waiting for someone to sit down.
They have suspected that Qingyun has been setting up an informant in the city for quite some time. Recently, Qingqing, who has always been scheming, appears to be too honest, which makes Ouyang Hongye feel even more uneasy. It seems that there is always a pair of eyes observing their actions in the dark at any time, and those invisible hands will reach out at any time to destroy the results they have achieved. On the other hand, he has been busy arranging everything for the ceremony in the past few days and has not had time to meet Ouyang Xiaoleng. There is still no news about Xia Qiu, which will definitely affect him. With all his worries entangled together, he could only pray that the entire ceremony could proceed smoothly, and the ceremony opened with his complicated mood.
After the bell on the observation deck rang eight times, the ceremony officially began. Buglers standing on both sides of the red carpet leading from Tianshu Hall to Tianquan Hall raised their heads at the same time and blew the ivory horns in their hands. Ouyang Hongye and Yan Ming were the first to enter the Tianquan Hall amidst the sound of the trumpet. Behind them were the two elders Ouyang Yong and Shi Wangcheng, and Wang Yue and Feng Huo who supported them. Next came the Amber Dragon King and Qian Qi and his son. Ouyang Xiaoleng Go last.
Today he looks particularly calm, his steps are slow and steady, the fishtail on the back of his white dress moves gracefully across the red carpet, his angular cheeks are raised high, with a arrogant and kingly temperament, which can't help but attract the people standing on both sides. All the eyes of the princes.
The sound of the horn stopped after they entered the Tianquan Hall, and the entire hall was silent for an instant, with everyone holding their breath and concentrating. Today's Chenji Palace is so different. It seems that from the moment they stepped into it, they were shocked by the strong atmosphere of the ceremony. First of all, it was unexpected for most people that the ceremony could be held as scheduled. And when seeing that everything in the palace almost reproduced what it looked like during the heyday of the demon world, it felt like traveling back to sixteen years ago in an instant.
For those who have experienced that war, the last ceremony was full of sad memories and was also the prelude before darkness. Qingyun attacked here when the entire royal city was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year celebration. In the following years, There has never been any grand ceremony in the demon world, and no one even wants to mention the word grand ceremony, because mentioning it will bring back memories of horror and blood. Now, the long-dormant Demon Realm King City has welcomed a new king. This event alone will give people a sense of hope that spring will return to the earth and all things will recover.
Ouyang Hongye first walked to stand under the throne of the Demon King, and said to all the princes and nobles standing below: "At this moment, I think most of you are in the same complicated mood as me. For sixteen years, we have not wanted to advance the ceremony. Two words, unwilling to mention that raid, unwilling to mention the name Qingyun. What we lost sixteen years ago, apart from stability, prosperity, glory and companions. But we survived, even if we were living a meager existence , in order for us to live, our late king, the second generation Demon King Fox Ouyang Xueye, sacrificed himself. Because he believed that we would find a way to revive the demon world, he was willing to exchange his life for hope, and we later What he did was not worthy of his sacrifice. In the past sixteen years, we have been jealous, depressed, doubtful, and depraved, including myself. We have wasted too much time. When we are not ready for anything, the demon world A new crisis has ushered in. The person we don’t want to mention, Qingyun, is back again, challenging us with various behaviors. It’s time to wake up, we need to cheer up and unite as one. Before that, we A new king is needed. He has inherited the bloodline of the Demon King Fox. In the name of God's will, he will guide us to rebuild the demon world and resist another war that Qingyun may launch at any time. Although he is young, he has passed the blood alliance He has unlocked the power of the Silver Fox God Lord and has just solved the danger of destruction in the demon world. He has been affirmed by two elders and has the support of the Amber Dragon King. I believe no one will question his ascension to the position of demon king. ." Ouyang Hongye paused and found that there was no objection below, and then he continued, "Then, the Demon King's enthronement ceremony officially begins! First, Ouyang Yong, the great elder of the demon world, will crown the new generation of Demon King Fox."
Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his hands to his chest, and silver light burst out from his chest. In the light, the Demon King's Crown was slowly released from his body and stayed in his hands. The Crown of the Demon King shows its form in the real world. It is made by the gods from a piece of the skeleton of the Silver Fox Lord. The silver crown is as pure as ice and snow, and brighter than the bright moon. There is a sacred stone embedded in the top of the crown. With the appearance of the Demon King's Crown, the power of the Silver Fox God Lord in his body was also released at the same time, revealing the Demon King Fox's true form, with its long silver hair and fox ears, a taller and burlier body, and its bluer pupils. , overlapping with the image of the first-generation demon king Hu Li.
Ouyang Yong took the demon king's crown from him and held it high to the princes. The last time they saw this crown was in the succession ceremony of the late king Xue Ye.
"I, Ouyang Yong, as the greatest elder in the demon world, serve as the oracle to crown the son of the late king Xue Ye!"
Under everyone's complicated gazes, Ouyang Yong slowly turned around to face Ouyang Xiaoleng, and put the Demon King's crown on his slightly lower head. Just when everyone was still doubtful about this result, or were shocked to see the true appearance of the Demon King's Crown, Ouyang Yong took the lead to kneel down on one knee slowly and solemnly, and said loudly: "May I The king leads the demon world to regain its glory! Long live my king! Long live the return of the demon king fox!"
As the great elder of the demon world, Ouyang Yong's move meant that he recognized Ouyang Xiaoleng as the third generation demon king fox. Then Ouyang Hongye, Wangyue, Fenghuo, and Yanming also knelt down one after another and shouted: "Long live my king! Long live the return of the Demon King Fox!"
The princes standing below were still hesitant, but when the Amber Dragon King and Qianqi also knelt down, they began to waver. And when the second elder of the demon world, Lion King Cheng, knelt down, the other princes were completely overwhelmed by this powerful momentum. He was so shocked that he had to kneel down and shout in unison: "Long live my king! Long live the return of the Demon King Fox!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng sat down upright on the demon king's throne, took the wine glass from the demon servant standing next to him, raised his hand to signal the people below to also lift the wine glass handed to them by the demon servant. Then he toasted to everyone: "To the late kings Ouyang Li and Ouyang Xueye, the time for the demon world to rise again is coming soon, to everyone!"
"Honor my king!"
Everyone followed him and drank all the wine in their glasses.
The musicians from Dongyao were already ready in a corner of the hall, and with Ouyang Hongye's wink, their performance began. All the musical instruments they played were made of materials from the ocean and lakes. The conch horn was melodious, the red coral harp was wonderful and dreamy, and the drums made of thousand-year-old fish skin and fish bones created a unique drumbeat that made the whole hall suddenly tremble. It became very lively, everyone talked to each other, toasted to each other, and everyone was infected by the cheerful atmosphere.
Until the ethereal singing sounded, everyone became quiet, looking for the owner of the singing. It was a beautiful singing voice that only a mermaid could sing. Every note was full of vitality, as if telling the longing from distant time and space. It was struck again and again to listen. deep in the soul of the person. The mermaid dancers dance lightly from both sides to the singing. Their slender bodies are graceful and soft. Every dance step seems to be gently swinging in the water, which makes people feel intoxicated.
Then Yuchan walked slowly into the hall. She was the owner of the song. She danced and sang, spinning into the other dancers. She was undoubtedly the youngest and most beautiful among the dancers. The princes below could not help but be fascinated, and some could not even hide their saliva. Every movement of the mermaid dancers was so graceful, light, and charming. They were men's favorite pets. When the song ended, They then spread out to toast the princes and nobles who were watching the dance.
Until the moment Yu Chan entered the hall, she never thought that the person she had been missing was the descendant of the Demon King Fox who the Amber Dragon King said would soon become the master of the demon world. When she saw that it was him sitting high on the demon king's throne, she couldn't help but hold her breath. She felt that she must have sung a few wrong notes because her brain had been in a blank state. His young and beautiful face exudes the aura of a king, and his gray-blue pupils are so deep and sad. This is a different person from the radiant person in her impression, making people dare not look directly at him. When the dance ended, she involuntarily moved closer to him, but was stopped by Mochizuki. Qianqi saw her and hurriedly walked over.
"She is my friend." Qian Qi said as he pulled Yu Chan aside.
The moment he sat down on the demon king's throne, Ouyang Xiaoleng seemed to suddenly become brand new from the inside out. It was an indescribable feeling. For many years, he had been protected by Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye to avoid conflicts within the royal city. As a descendant of the Demon King Fox, he is so cold and arrogant, but has a status that is not recognized, and is rejected by other princes and nobles. Until today, he can finally let go of the helplessness he once carried. He was sitting here, wearing a crown on his head, looking down at his subjects, and the part of him that belonged to the king seemed to be completely released and awakened.
He didn't pay attention to the exquisite performance of the musicians and the charming dance of the mermaids. He just mechanically clinked glasses with the people who came forward to congratulate him. When he was at the pinnacle of power, there was a trace of loneliness and loneliness in his heart. , he was always searching for Xia Qiu, expecting her to suddenly appear. He wanted to share the glory of this night with her, because this glory also belonged to her, but she did not appear until the end of the ceremony.
