Chapter 2768: The Stain of the True King, Explanation

In this situation, either Yierlan is extremely confident in this operation, or they have already dealt with that Demon Descendant, and this is now just going through the motions.

When Xia Duo was in his hometown, he could occasionally hear about someone being taken away at a meeting, but in reality, was that person truly determined to be guilty only before the meeting and then arrested on the spot?

Obviously impossible.

Xia Duo is unsure whether Yierlan is being overconfident or if they have already finished the job and are just going through the motions; he only hopes that no accidents occur.

After all, the current Demon Descendant has become the common enemy of all sentient beings in the Main Plane.

……

"Palisi Meitelier, has been reduced to a lackey of the Demon Descendant by his country and his kin, but—

"After investigation, we discovered that within Yierlan, it is not only Palisi and his accomplices who have been infiltrated by the Demon Descendant; there are even more deeply and long-hidden Demon Descendant elements, even right here in Taiweimansa, right beside us!"

When Helien spoke the last sentence, he had already cast a sharp gaze toward a direction within the sanctuary. Xia Duo looked in that direction, and Feilifa still wore that rather mysterious smile from just a moment ago.

Of course, Feilifa is not the traitor Helien spoke of, but rather a Moon Elf sitting in a seat adjacent to Feilifa; at this moment, that Elf's face is full of shock and confusion, as if they have suffered a great grievance.

And the former is also one of the official titles of Crown King Lier, the content of the prophecy that prompted the Divine Sword Trial and the birth of Taiweiman, but those are mostly Yierlan's internal narratives, almost never spoken of in places outside Taiweiman.

But now, it happened right under my nose, quietly completing the control over Laairuifan; such methods are truly terrifying and dreadful!

Everyone present can clearly identify the scene displayed by the Illusion; it is a district of Gedusasa, or rather, one of the giant oak trees where Gedusasa is located.

Speaking of which, Keman, Siluwende, and Taiweiman all claim to inherit the orthodoxy of Helienda; Siluwende inherited the frontier regions after the ancient Helienda began its great cause of conquest, as well as the most important Commoners.

Although all three sides consider themselves orthodox, it is more used to highlight the origin of their own legitimacy, rather than truly wanting to follow the old path of Helienda.

Laairuifan comes from the Cui Xing Family, and the Emerald Star Courtyard is the core residence of the Cui Xing Family in Gedusasa.

Siluwende Elves are the descendants of the original Helienda Commoners.

Then when exactly did they take action?

"But you must never feel fortunate; Yierlan's ambition has long been revealed without doubt. He wants to be the True King of the Elven World, not a fake king bound by the Mage Leader and the Council.

"From the day I insisted on opposing Yierlan's reforms, I already knew this day would come, I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Laairuifan, I just gave you a chance to defend yourself but you didn't cherish it, so now let everyone witness Laairuifan's true face together!"

Siluwende inherited the core territory of Helienda, while Taiweiman inherited the dignitaries after Helienda fled.

……

After speaking, Laairuifan ceased to speak, and his words also caused a commotion among the other members of the high-ranking families; not just those within the Fanxing Shengdian, but also on the square outside, those present tonight can be said to be the entire ruling class of Keman.

Although Keman will try its best to protect, having an extra hand is safer, isn't it?

Regarding this, Yierlan was long prepared, "Such despicable tricks cannot destroy the tradition of joint governance by Keman's high-ranking families, nor can they destroy the progress of pushing for centralized power."

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why the other party would still stay in place; were they still hoping to rely on winning the Council's sympathy to make a comeback?

It is evident how sensitive the term "Sole True King" is.

If Crown King Yierlan really wanted to walk the path of the Sole True King, not to mention the attitude of countries outside Keman, Keman itself would immediately turn upside down.

Following Helien's pointing, the other Elves beside Lagedusi quickly stood up and moved aside, assuming a defensive posture.

Speaking of this, Yierlan slightly raised his left hand, and the next moment, the central area originally used for banquet performances was suddenly shrouded by an Illusion.

In the Elf World, family interests are often placed before national interests; after all, many families have histories far longer than the countries we live in!

"Just wait and see, my current fate is your future fate!"

But all of this was hidden from the family where Laairuifan is located; if Xia Duo were the other party, regardless of whether he was wronged or not, he would not sit and wait for death.

In such a situation, how can one make an ancient family that has likely seen the rise and fall of kingdoms many times place national interests first?

This is not only an instinct born from sensitivity to their own power, but also a vigilance against such a Sole True King potentially leading Yierlan into the fate of ancient Helienda.

Therefore, he was very curious about what methods Keman used; at this moment, his curiosity even exceeded his desire to investigate the Gedusasa Mythallar.

For various reasons, Crown King Yierlan gave Laairuifan a chance to defend himself, but Laairuifan did not appreciate it at all. After the initial shock and confusion, he quickly calmed down, his face gloomy, looking at the other high-ranking family members who were looking at him with vigilance, and said coldly:

At this time, Elves who knew more inside information took the initiative to introduce, "It's the Samalandisi district, the Emerald Star Courtyard is right there!"

"Lagedusi, do you have anything else to say? I gave you a chance to defend yourself!"

They might not mind submitting to a nominal Crown King, but they absolutely resist the appearance of a True King who controls everything in Yierlan.

It was also until this moment that Xia Duo discovered that the Moon Elf named Laairuifan was not actually in the same space as the others currently in the Fanxing Shengdian, but had been restricted to an independent and limited space.

The so-called "old path of Helienda" starts with centralized power, followed by the unprecedented rise of royal power, and even the emergence of the so-called "True King of the Elven World" theory.

The leaders of Yierlan lead Yierlan not because they want to push Yierlan to an transcendent status they can never reach, but more because they want to strengthen their own families in the process of maintaining Yierlan.

Thinking about it, it's impossible; Crown King Yierlan dared to arrest an important member of a high-ranking family during a large banquet, he must have communicated with the Council in advance.

Xia Duo has actually been paying attention to the state of the Magic Net within the Fanxing Shengdian; after all, he doesn't want to be accidentally injured by Yierlan's arrest operation. Besides, if there is a chance, he still wants to save Ambassador Fema'ai and other Netherese present at a critical moment.

Xia Duo believes that if he doesn't consider bloodline abilities, he is completely unable to resist, but bloodline abilities are not omnipotent; being able to succeed once does not mean being able to succeed every time.

Therefore, when Laairuifan mentioned that Crown King Yierlan had the idea of becoming the Sole True King, the other high-ranking family members almost unanimously ignored the Demon Descendant suspicion on him, and instead turned their suspicious gazes toward Crown King Yierlan.
