363 The Arrival of the Witch
The ancestor of the witch clan, Houtu, brought the four ancestor witches of the witch clan, and more than fifty great witches into the Lingxiao Palace.
"Witch Clan, what are you here for?" asked Xuanwu, the quasi-saint of the Turtle Clan.
Zhu Rong, the ancestor witch who was speaking just now, sneered: "Why can't my witch clan come? Is this heavenly court the heaven of your demon clan family? Is my witch clan not qualified to compete for the position of Jade Emperor?"
Xuanwu sneered: "Who is your witch clan qualified to compete for the Jade Emperor?"
Zhu Rong said: "If only monks who have proved the imperial way of the emperor were qualified to compete for the Jade Emperor according to the requirements of His Majesty Yuanshi Tianwang, then no one in my witch clan has this qualification. However, since your demon clan has changed the rules without verifying the imperial way of the emperor, you can compete for the Jade Emperor, then my witch clan’s ancestor witch is also qualified to compete!"
"Just rely on your witch clan's people?" Xuanwu sneered: "I want to compete for the Jade Emperor, yes, who do you want to recommend? Is it the Houtu Ancestral Witch?"
Zhu Rong said: "Master Houtu is the ancestor of my witch clan, so he is naturally qualified to compete for the position of Jade Emperor."
Xuanwu was about to speak, Zulong waved his hand and stopped him, saying, "What fellow Taoist Zhurong said is true? Do the nobles really want to compete with my demon clan as the Jade Emperor?"
The words of Zulong are filled with infinite murderous intent. Now the demon clan is powerful, and the god clan has four sub-saints who have to avoid the edge. If the witch clan really wants to compete for the Jade Emperor, the demon clan will not be able to tolerate them.
Although Zhu Rong is an ancestral witch, his realm is equivalent to that of the quasi-saint of the demon clan, so he dares to compete with Xuanwu. However, in the face of the questioning of the ancestor of the demon clan, he felt sweat on his forehead and did not dare to speak easily.
At this time, Houtu opened his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist Zulong, you are an elder, so you don't have to make things difficult for me." Houtu said: "My demon clan just has a question."
Zulong said: "My fellow Taoist Houtu has any questions, please tell me."
Houtu said: "This heavenly court was established by the joint efforts of all tribes in the prehistoric world under the advocacy of Lord Yuanshi. The heavenly court set by Lord Yuanshi back then. Lord Yuanshi asked that those who are Jade Emperor must have the Hunyuan realm, and the emperor's great way to be promoted to the acquired sub-sage saint, and no one of our tribes had objections at that time. Now, the nobles rely on their great power to forcefully change the rules. Without the imperial way, they can compete for the Jade Emperor. Where are our witches, gods, and Shura tribes? Although Zhurong has no restraint, there is one thing that is wrong. Is this heaven the heavenly court of your demon clan? If this is true, let the nobles and family slowly play in the heavenly court, at least our witch clan will not be with you."
Houtu's words made everyone embarrassed. The demon clan was very powerful, so he had the courage to change the rules of Jade Emperor competition on his own. However, the demon clan did not have the confidence to face the various tribes in the prehistoric times at the same time, not that it could not be defeated, but that the cost was too high.
At this time, Xuangui said: "It is normal for fellow Taoist Houtu to have this concern. Let fellow Taoist Zufeng explain this matter to fellow Taoist Zufeng and fellow Taoist!"
In Xuangui's opinion, this was clearly a trouble caused by Zu Feng. Zu Long had no need to take the blame for others, and it was the opposite side, so he pushed Zu Feng out directly.
Zulong looked at Xuangui and sighed in his heart. He had cultivated the great way of the True Dragon Emperor and had the heart of an emperor. Therefore, although it had nothing to do with him when facing the attack on the witch clan, he still stood up. This is the responsibility that an emperor should have, and Xuangui did not have this enlightenment.
However, the Xuan Turtle is an ally of the Dragon Clan, so the Zulong didn't have much to say, so he had to keep silent.
Zu Feng was pushed out coldly, and in desperation, he brewed a few words and said, "Everyone in Houtu, this time it was just a sudden stopgap solution."
"Oh?" Houtu said: "What is the solution to the expedient strategy?"
Zulong said: "The Jade Emperor Yuanshi Tianwang has appointed us four people as candidates for the next Jade Emperor. If it is normal, when His Majesty Yuanshi Tianwang abdicates, our four people's imperial path should be successful, but the plan cannot be changed. His Majesty Yuanshi Tianwang abdicates early, and the Heavenly Court has been unmanned for many years, and the management of the prehistoric world is really a nameless master, so we four people have rushed to take office."
"So that's it." Hou Tu said: "Since it's just a stopgap solution, it's fine this time. Then I just want to ask one question, what about the future? Can candidates who compete for the Jade Emperor in the future do not cultivate their own imperial avenue?"
"No." Zu Feng said: "This is only once, no one will be used as an example."
"Is that true?" Hou Tu's eyes scanned the demon clans of Lingxiao Palace.
The ancestors of the demon clan had no choice but to stand up and promise to endorse Zufeng.
Houtu said: "I trust the promises of all ancestors, but what about the future? Under the ancestors, the nobles and hundreds of elites present, there will be opportunities to sit in the position of Jade Emperor in the future. Can they guarantee that the same is true?"
"Looking." Zulong raised his eyebrows. He seemed to know what Houtu meant and stopped him: "Since our ancestor spoke, it naturally represents the entire demon clan. This rule will naturally not change. If there are exceptions in the future, it will only be a matter of urgent power. Does it still need your witch clan's permission to do things? "
The Hunyuan momentum of the ancestor dragon continued to expand and pressed towards the witch clan. The faces of the witch clan changed. The great witches were forced to retreat more than ten steps in a row by the aura of the ancestor dragon, and almost retreated from the Lingxiao Palace. The several witches of the witch clan were not feeling well, including Houtu, all their faces turned a little pale.
Only then did the five ancestor witches of the Witch Clan realize that the old quasi-saints like Zulong are too powerful than them in the Hunyuan realm.
At this time, Master Lin spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zulong, don't scare the children. It's just a promise, just give them."
Lord Lin's words connotate the demonic power and disperse the aura of the Zulong.
The witch clan members then took a breath.
Houtu sighed in his heart: Sure enough, after Daluo, every step forward in his practice, there is a huge gap. I also have the strength of the mid-level Hunyuan level, but I am still not enough to match the Ancestral Dragon of the upper-level Hunyuan level. If the witch tribe wants to gain more living space, they still have to improve their own strength.
Master Lin said: "Fellow Taoist Houtu, fellow Taoist Zufeng said, this is just one time, let's not be an example for now, fellow Taoist Zulong also said that our ancestor's words represent the entire demon clan, so you can rest assured, but since you are careful to judge a gentleman's abdomen, our demon clan will give you confidence."
After the Lord Lin finished speaking, he said, "I, Lord Lin, made an oath under the laws of heaven. After this matter, I, the Lord Qilin clan, do not prove the great way of the emperor, do not compete for the Jade Emperor, nor do I choose the Jade Emperor without the great way of the emperor."
After Lord Lin made an oath, the quasi-saints and Hunyuan of the Qilin clan also made oaths.
Lord Lin said to Houtu: "If my demon clan can do this, I wonder how everyone in the witch clan is?"
"No problem." Houtudao.
Houtu and the Wu tribe also made an oath.
Zu Feng followed closely behind and took the Phoenix clan to make an oath. Then, Tengshe, Jinwu, Xuangui and the powerful demon clan who were not in the royal family also made oaths.
Only the Dragon Clan and the Ancestral Dragon did not say a word, so the Dragon Clan did not speak out either.
Zu Feng sneered: "Zulong, I really can't understand you. In this world, except Yuanshi, you are the only one who has proved the imperial way, but you don't agree with this matter in the end."
Zulong looked at Zufeng coldly without saying a word.
At this time, Houtu said: "Since all the fellow Taoists of the Dragon Clan don't speak, it seems that they are not sincere. But it's better for other fellow Taoists to have this intention. Who wants your fellow Taoists to be powerful?"
Zulong looked ugly, but he still didn't speak.
Seeing that Zulong was not sensible, Houtu had to say, "Since that's the case, my witch clan will not force it."
Zulong said coldly: "Then I'll thank fellow Taoists."
Houtu said: "But."
"But what?" Zulong said.
Houtu said: "However, I seem to remember that in the competition between the Jade Emperor, the strong men above the Daluo tribes seem to be able to vote!"
Zulong's face changed.
Indeed, Daluo, the four tribes of demons, gods, witches, and Shura, are all qualified to vote for the Jade Emperor unless the demons really plan to turn the Heavenly Court into a family of demons. After all, if you want to rule others, you must be recognized by others.
Houtu said: "Fellow Daoist Zulong, since you have no sincerity, I think you are not suitable to be the Lord of Heaven. It would be better for my witch clan to choose Fellow Daoist Zufeng."
After Houtu finished speaking, he raised his hand and a white light shot out, which was the jade scepter belonging to Houtu.
Immediately afterwards, the great witches and ancestor witches of the witch clan also sacrificed their jade scepters.
These more than fifty jade scepters all flew under the auspicious clouds of Zu Feng.
There were nearly 600 Daluo in the Demon Clan, and 133 people fell in the Demon War, leaving only more than 400 people. The Ancestral Dragon received more than 60% of the Demon Clan, but only more than 200 votes, only eighty or ninety more votes than Zu Feng.
With the jade scepters of the witch clan, the gap between the ancestor dragon and the ancestor phoenix is only more than thirty votes.
If the votes cannot exceed half of the opponent, then you can only compete with force.
Faced with such a situation, Zulong smiled instead: "I understand."
"What does fellow Taoist Zulong understand?" Houtu said.
"I understand two things." Zulong said: "First, your witch clan came here this time to make trouble, in order not to let the Jade Emperor be successfully produced by our demon clan. As for voting, if I have the upper hand, you will vote for Zufeng, and vice versa, right?"
This time it was Houtu’s turn to change his face.
Zulong continued, "The second thing I have figured out is why do you care so much about letting the demon clan swear. Because you want to be the Jade Emperor, your imperial path will be successful soon. You want to be the Jade Emperor while no one in my demon clan can prove the Emperor's Dao."
After hearing what Zulong said, Di Jun and others also saw the intentions of the Witch Clan and Houtu.
Houtu smiled: "Fellow Daoist Zulong is indeed extraordinary, but it's too late. Now you are the only one of your dragon clan and family has not made a vow, so the only one of your witch clan needs to face is your dragon clan and family, and there is always hope."
Zulong said: "There is a cause and a result. Since you have reached this point, your plan has basically been successful. At that time, my dragon clan can only do its best to do it."
Houtu said: "Let's talk about the future, let's talk about it in the future. Fellow Taoist should think about how to become this Jade Emperor now."
Zulong looked at Zu Feng with expressionless face.
