In the dim royal court of Xiqi Royal City, hundreds of warriors stood there solemnly, as motionless as a group of lifeless statues. They were all wearing military uniforms, with colored wristbands exposed on their wrists, highlighting their identities.
In the center of the entire royal court, Bao Ping was standing under the throne. His face was very calm, and his dark gray eyes looked at everyone like a pool of impenetrable water.
Ji Hu, the chief elder of Ji's Presbytery, is standing next to Bao Ping. He is wearing an extremely bright armor, black iron armor with pure gold decoration, and a blood-red cloak that is more than two meters long. Look,
It looks like an ancient ritual dress.
Ji Hu raised a broad and heavy sword and opened his arms.
"I, Ji Hu! The descendant of the Ji family and the great elder of the ancient Xiqi royal family, I hereby support the new leader to succeed me. I swear in front of the ancestors of the Ji family that Bao Ping, the successor, is the one who was appointed by the late leader.
, all the elders have seen it with their own eyes, and it is right and true. If we make false statements, we will be punished! Both body and soul will be destroyed!
kneel----",
After Ji Hu finished speaking, he waved his sword. The broad and heavy sword was as light as a knife in his hand. Then Ji Hu thrust the sword into the ground with a burst of sparks, which penetrated into the floor tiles.
At the same time, the warriors in the hall all knelt down. Some of these warriors were blue-belt warriors, and some were colorless white-belt warriors.
At the front of the warriors, there were a few warriors who still stood there without kneeling to Baoping. There was a streak of blood-like red on their wrists, showing their special status as red-banded warriors.
"Do any of the great warriors have any objections?" Ji Hu looked at them with a smile, his eyes narrowed into thin slits, looking like a fox.
"Yes~~" Ji Yang held his jet black long knife and looked at Bao Ping in front of him unruly, with obvious doubts in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect that the first leader would let a mortal with a foreign surname succeed to the throne? Humph!" Ji Yang snorted coldly,
"Ji Hu! Do you have any evidence for announcing that this mortal with no special talents will succeed? You just say that there is no evidence!"
"Of course!", Ji Hu waved his hand with a serious face, and hula~~, the cloth screen behind him fell, and through the long corridor, two words were clearly reflected on the huge stone screen, "Bao
flat".
"According to the ancient tradition of succession of the Ji family, the candidate for the new leader is decided by the deceased leader. When the deceased leader dies, the candidate for the new leader will appear on the stone screen. It is clearly stated on it that he is the adopted son of the previous leader.
Baoping succeeded as leader.
The laws of our Ji family are strict, and the leader's orders must be obeyed regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Once the new leader succeeds to the throne, no objection is allowed, otherwise he will be treated as usurping the throne and will be cut to pieces.
Great Warrior Ji Yang, do you have any more questions?",
After Ji Hu finished speaking, he looked at Ji Yang with squinted eyes, his expression very complicated.
Ji Yang looked at the clear names on the stone screen, and then looked at Bao Ping. His face was cold and blue, and his teeth were clenching. His body began to generate thousands of fierce Qi trainings. This Qi Qi training force
The aura was so strong that the stone bricks under Ji Yang's feet began to crackle and crack.
"It has never happened before in the five thousand years of history that someone with a foreign surname has ascended the throne. I don't believe that the former leader would make such a ridiculous decision. This is a humiliation to our warriors!
The position of leader is so important. To command all the Ji family warriors and Jiang family witches, how come you, an incompetent person like you, can take over? It’s so ridiculous! Every warrior in the royal court is stronger than you now. Who will listen?
You gave the order?".
After Ji Yang finished speaking, he turned to look at Ji Hu, "Elder Ji Hu, have you sought the opinion of the Jiang clan leader before appointing him?"
"I have met Chen Zhi...",
Bao Ping suddenly opened his mouth to speak, just like a thunder was suddenly thrown in the cold hall, everyone looked at him.
Bao Ping looked at the rebellious Ji Yang, then at the evil-looking long knife in his arms, and smiled calmly.
"My adoptive father left me something before he died. It was a stone magic ring from ancient times. My adoptive father said that it was the only thing that could control the Jiang family and told me to preserve it as well as my own life.
Later..., I gave that ring to Chen Zhi!"
"What~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~",
Ji Yang's eyes widened angrily, and the hand holding the long knife trembled.
"Yes, you heard it right!" Bao Ping said with a calm smile, "I gave it back to Mr. Jiang!"
The hall instantly became quiet, so quiet that there was no sound of heartbeat. After a few minutes of silence, Guidao stepped forward, put his hand on his chest, and knelt on one leg in front of Bao Ping.
"Ji Ling, I am willing to swear allegiance to the new leader and go through fire and water, even to the death!"
Afterwards, Ji Ying and Asuo also walked over and knelt down, and all the royal elders also knelt down.
"Pledge to be loyal to the new leader, go through fire and water, and never give up~~~~"
But Ji Yang still stood there. Among all the kneeling warriors, he glared at Bao Ping like an untamed lion. Bao Ping also looked at him, his expression still calm, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Ji Yang suddenly pulled open his coat, revealing his strong upper body, which was covered with dense scars and looked as shocking as messy tree branches.
"I, Ji Yang, have devoted my life to the organization and survived almost death. I am worthy of the Ji family. But now you are asking me to obey orders from a young mortal like you. I can't do it! And Bao Ping... are you worthy?"
, after Ji Yang finished speaking, he stood up his long sword and jumped forward suddenly, falling in front of Bao Ping like a black wind.
"Ji Yang~~, don't do this!" Asuo immediately grabbed Ji Yang, and at this time, everyone realized that the formation had changed.
All the blue belt warriors suddenly jumped in front of Bao Ping, with their long swords drawn out, murderous intent bursting out, and they looked ready to fight Ji Yang to the death at any time.
"Warrior Ji Yang, you are the chief warrior and our elder. Please believe in my father~~" Ji Ying pressed the long sword behind her and used her hand to help Ji Yang's right arm that was about to draw the sword.
"Haha! Haha..., hahahaha~~~~~" Ji Yang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and then the training energy all over his body rose like a whirlwind. He pointed at Bao Ping with a single sword,
"Little Baoping, let me tell you! No matter how you got the throne, remember, I, Ji Yang, will never kneel at your feet!"
After Ji Yang finished speaking, he shook off Ji Ying's hand, put away the long knife, turned around and walked out of the royal court...
