Chapter 43: Peacock King City
This punch Ye Chen used all his strength, and his strength was heavy one after another, knocking the middle-aged man away and smashing it to the ground.
A heavy force kept crashing inside him, causing him a lot of pain.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man didn't notice Ye Chen's existence just now, so he had some negligence, which allowed him to succeed in one blow.
However, Ye Chen's blow was huge, and his fist power rushed straight to the internal organs, rushing wantonly in his body, which was very domineering.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, although this punch looked like a mediocre blow, but the power could not be underestimated, even a person with the same strength as him could not bear it, not to mention a middle-aged man whose strength was not as good as his.
The middle-aged man stood up in pain, his eyes staring at Ye Chen, as if he was about to make a move, but his eyes suddenly turned, and a faint gaze flashed.
Immediately, his body flashed rapidly, and he came to the third prince again, and waved his big knife to stop and cut down.
"You dare!"
Ye Chen let out a loud shout, his body jumped up suddenly, and a golden light burst out from his palm, and a powerful power came out, approaching the middle-aged man.
In an instant, the wind gusted, the air roared continuously, and with a muffled sound, the middle-aged man was knocked away again, this time Ye Chen still hit the original position, making the middle-aged man's injury a few points worse again.
"Poof!"
The middle-aged man couldn't hold on any longer, and spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously seriously injured.
Ye Chen seized the opportunity, a palm wind slashed, and the golden light shot out again, like a sharp sword, slashing through the middle-aged man's abdomen.
The middle-aged man didn't even have time to resist, so he watched his abdomen being cut and his internal organs flowing out of the ground.
The whole person was also killed by this blow.
When the third prince saw Ye Chen's move, he nodded gratefully.
At this time, the Peacock Clan patrol and the Snow Wolf Clan also stopped fighting, and more than half of the two sides were basically killed and wounded, and the remaining Snow Wolf Clan saw that the leader was killed, and the situation was not good, and they all thought of fleeing.
But how could the three princes let them go? Once again, the Peacock Clan was ordered to kill the Snow Wolf Clan.
Although the number of the Peacock Clan is small, due to the local battle, the high energy, and the death of the leader of the Snow Wolf Clan, the hearts of the people are scattered, so the remnants of the people were quickly cleared by the Peacock Clan.
Seeing that the hidden danger was cleared, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead Ye Chen and them towards the imperial city.
Although they had already arrived at the Peacock Clan, it took them more than ten days to actually reach the Imperial City.
The demon world is vast, rich in products, the imperial city is also prosperous, the ancient buildings are majestic, red bricks and green tiles, bluestone long roads, giving people a feeling of crossing.
Ye Chen's heart was full of shock along the way, and the feeling he felt here was awe and shock, even if it was an ordinary house, it was all finely crafted, white jade and Han steps, simple and solemn.
Approaching the palace, it is even more magnificent, each roof is carved with a huge peacock carved from jasper, the eyes are sharp, noble and proud, one of them stretches out their slender necks and looks up to the sky and roars, it seems that they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and can swallow the sun and the moon.
These peacocks also symbolize the continuous reproduction and prosperity of the peacock people.
Following the third prince to approach the palace, the two rows of big men standing at the door hurriedly saluted, and Ye Chen also experienced the feeling of being respected by everyone.
The royal family is the absolute authority of the Peacock Clan, and all the people of the Peacock Clan unconditionally support and support the Peacock Demon King, surrender for generations, and never resist.
This is somewhat similar to the ancient feudal monarchy system in the secular world, where one person centralizes power and sits on the country.
"The Three Princes have returned from their travels!"
When the figure of the third prince appeared in the palace, many people who saw him cheered and ran and communicated to each other.
Ye Chen also knew along the way, the third prince had traveled to the demon world with his teachers since he was five years old, and only came back once every other year.
Every time he came back from a trip outside, his knowledge and cultivation would be several times higher than that of his peers.
Although the third prince is now eleven or twelve years old, his actual cultivation is enough to be a young man who is twenty years old.
His qualifications can be said to be rare in a thousand years, and there are many rumors about him in the demon world, the Peacock Demon King has always been proud of him, and his cultivation is also painstaking, if he can really grow up, he will be an absolutely powerful leader in the demon world.
Ye Chen had no doubt about this, from his contact with the third prince, it could be seen that this son had a stable and tenacious heart, and he was a rare talent, even if he was eight or nine years older than him, he sincerely felt his potential.
However, Ye Chen is not envious, because everyone has their own path, it's just that some people achieve early and some people achieve late.
For example, during his twenty years of growth, he had never been exposed to anything or information related to cultivation until he met Bai Feng and Qin Yu......
In just over three months, his cultivation has almost reached the point of crushing all his peers, and if he reverses the exercises, he can still kill some old antiques.
Therefore, he was very confident in himself, and he also believed that he would be able to keep smiling in the cultivation world.
In a glorious hall, Ye Chen and the three princes met the Peacock King together, in order to prevent the strong man of the Peacock Clan from identifying his identity, the three-legged golden crow and the old cat did not come in, but had already separated from Ye Chen when he was outside the palace and wandered around.
The third prince told the Peacock Demon King about his travel experience in the past year, mainly some of his gains and experiences, and the Peacock Demon King also showed a satisfied expression after hearing this.
However, when the third prince talked about him being chased and killed by the Snow Wolf Clan on the edge of the clan, the Peacock Demon King frowned, and suddenly became angry, and smashed the table next to him with one palm.
"The little snow wolf clan dares to murder my prince of the Peacock Clan, it seems that he really wants to provoke a dispute!"
The Peacock Demon King looked cold and said angrily.
Just after the Peacock Demon King was furious, the third prince mentioned to the Peacock Demon King about Ye Chen saving him, and bluntly said that if it weren't for Ye Chen, he would have been captured and killed by the Snow Wolf Clan.
The Peacock Demon King's anger did not completely dissipate at this moment, and when he heard that Ye Chen had saved the third prince, he glanced at Ye Chen with curiosity.
It seems strange that his strength is strange.
"It was you who saved His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
The Peacock Demon King's eyes were keen, his eyes were like an abyss, and he stared at Ye Chen and said.
Seeing the eyes of the Peacock Demon King, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little awe in his heart, which was a natural reaction to the strong.
In the face of the strength of the strong, the weak instinctively produce a fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yes, Demon King! When I went out to collect herbs, I accidentally found that the third prince was killed, so I rushed to the rescue! ”
Ye Chen arched his hand and said, trying his best to hide his lies.
But fortunately, there were no flaws in his performance, and the Peacock Demon King didn't seem to be suspicious.
After all, their peacock clan is multiplying endlessly, and the population is large, and many of them live in the border area and make a living by collecting elixirs.
"It seems that you are in good hands, this king can appoint you as the palace internal guard, specifically responsible for the safety of the three princes, what do you think?"
Ye Chen heard the words of the Peacock Demon King and hurriedly agreed.
He already knew something about the internal guards, the internal guards of the Peacock clan were responsible for the safety of important people in the royal family, which was equivalent to personal bodyguards, compared to others, they had more opportunities to enter and leave the palace, and it was easier to contact other royal and noble figures.
His original intention was to come to his mother, and with such an errand, it was undoubtedly much more useful.
After accepting the appointment, Ye Chen walked out of the main hall with the three princes, and as soon as they went out, they saw many people walking in one direction.
Not long after the third prince came back, he didn't know much about many things in the palace, and this kind of scene must have happened to be a big event.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
The three princes also looked quite curious, and walked forward with everyone.
Everyone stopped in a square, which is the place where the peacock clan conducts sacrifices and worships, and it is also a place of entertainment for the peacock clan, and many people often have fun and play here.
"The second princess has killed again!"
When approaching the crowd, Ye Chen heard everyone shouting, talking about the second princess.
I saw that in the middle of the square, a purple-clothed woman who looked like a fairy and had a good figure, but with a cold face, was standing in the middle of the square with a long sword, and there were a few drops of red blood dripping on the silver long sword.
And at her feet, the body of a man lay down.
For some reason, when Ye Chen saw this woman, he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, and an indescribable sense of intimacy invaded his heart.
"Second princess? Is it the woman who is married to the world? ”
Ye Chen's intuition told him that the woman in front of him must be his mother, although he couldn't be completely sure, but that breath and the feeling of seeing each other would not be wrong. That's why he asked tentatively.
"Yes! In my aunt's life, my fate can be regarded as miserable~"
The third prince sighed, his eyes full of sympathy.
After confirming the answer, a trace of sourness inexplicably surged into Ye Chen's heart, is the woman in front of him his mother?
It seemed that her face was melancholy, her eyes were gloomy, and there was no trace of joy or happiness to speak of......
After seeing his mother, his original resentment and grievances turned into sympathy and heartache.
His mother must have lived a very tormented life for so many years, she may have wanted to go to the worldly world to find him, but she could not get out of here.
The Peacock King City was her cage, where her people and her heart were imprisoned.
"This is the twentieth person my aunt has killed! For twenty years, every year, my grandfather would arrange a man with superior conditions to my aunt and let her remarry and marry, but my aunt never agreed once, and would kill these people mercilessly, all because of the man in the secular world, and my aunt never forgot him for a moment......"
Although the third prince is young, he seems to have experienced a lot of affairs, and said in a deep voice.
