“Our Tai Hua Holy Land will not allow the next Clan Leader of the Candle Dragon Clan to have any ties with the Blood Sea Palace.”
Renzhen Immortal Emperor also demonstrated his strength, summoning his Flying Sword artifact.
Although Renzhen Immortal Emperor was only at the sixth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm and not as powerful as Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, with the help of his artifact, he should be able to deal with a tribe leader who was at the bottom of the strength rankings, especially since he represented the Tai Hua Holy Land.
While the Candle Dragon Clan was one of the ancient dragon clans, it also dared not provoke the two holy lands.
As expected, after Jin Yun Immortal Fairy and Renzhen Immortal Emperor made clear the stance of the holy lands, the neutral leaders of the Black Pupil Sect and Yellow Pupil Sect changed their expressions and inclined to side with Huo Zhang.
Even the leaders of the Blue Pupil Sect, Purple Pupil Sect, and Gray Pupil Sect, who were supporting Yin Hao, were moved.
Offending two holy lands at the same time was no joke, after all.
If Yin Hao had been in the right, they could have accused the Tai Hua Holy Land and Guanghan Holy Land of meddling in the Candle Dragon Clan’s selection of their Clan Leader. The problem was that Yin Hao belonged to the side that was in the wrong.
“Since ancient times, the strong have been revered. The Tai Hua and Guanghan holy lands are also meddling too much. Cough cough cough…”
A pale, haggard man from the Silver Eyes Sector stood up while coughing, backed Yin Hao.
“Are you with the Blood Sea Palace?”
Now that the façade was torn, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy got straight to the point and confronted the man about his identity.
“What if I am? Today, those who do not submit will die.”
The haggard man’s tone suddenly turned ice cold, and a chilling aura spread around, causing a surge of coldness in everyone’s hearts.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, Renzhen Immortal Emperor, Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, Lin Qinghan, and the others had grave expressions on their faces.
Very strong, unbelievably strong.
This was Lu Changsheng’s most direct feeling.
The person that the Blood Sea Palace dared to send to manipulate the selection of the Clan Leader of the Candle Dragon Clan was terrifyingly powerful.
“He is from the Demon Realm. Leave him to me. Avoid his edge,” said Jin Yun Immortal Fairy as she took a deep breath, knowing that juniors like Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue stood no chance against a strong foe from the Demon Realm.
The hierarchy in the Demon Realm was strict, and normal Demon Chiefs would not dare to come to the Immortal Realm. The Demon Realm powerhouse who had arrived was very likely one of the Great Demons with formidable power in the Demon Realm.
Since stalwarts from the Immortal Realm rarely entered the Demon Realm, even Jin Yun Immortal Fairy did not know the origins of this Great Demon, unless they could capture him alive.
But capturing him alive? That was easier said than done.
“Instant Glory!”
With a swing of her sword, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy unleashed Sword Qi that traversed space, arriving instantaneously in front of the Demon Realm powerhouse!
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy’s mastery of Sword Dao was exceedingly brilliant.
However, the haggard man simply reached out and grabbed, shattering the Sword Qi with his bare hands!
“Hiss…”
The eight leaders of the Candle Dragon Clan were shocked; the strength of this Demon Realm powerhouse was unnervingly incredible.
The haggard man’s Demonic Qi surged, its pure intensity unparalleled by ordinary Heretic Cultivators. The Demonic Qi dominated the sky, “As long as the Candle Dragon Clan serves our Demon Realm, neither holy land will dare to touch you. We from the Demon Realm can even unseal the originator of the Candle Dragon, allowing your clan to return to its ancient glory.”
“What? He can unseal the originator?”
“With the Demon Realm’s support, our Candle Dragon Clan indeed has a chance to restore its ancient glory.”
Many tribesmen from the Candle Dragon Clan began to waver.
It seemed as if the originator of the Candle Dragon had sealed himself to seek immortality, but in reality, the Taiyin Goddess had bound him in Zhong Mountain, and he had always been unable to escape.
“Do not believe him. To ally with the Demon Realm is to seek skin from a tiger. Didn’t the Demon Lord still lose to the Heavenly Court in the past and had to retreat into the Demon Realm?” Huo Zhang scolded, restoring some calm to the fervent clansmen.
“You talk too much.”
The haggard man’s hand descended, and a gigantic Demon Hand appeared above Huo Zhang, carrying an overwhelming Demonic Qi as it crushed down, as though the sky was falling, smashing Huo Zhang into the depths of the earth!
“Slash!”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy swiftly changed her hand signs, and her Immortal Sword sliced at the Demon Hand. The fierce Sword Qi cut through the rolling Demonic Qi, preventing the Demon Realm powerhouse from continuing to pursue Huo Zhang.
“How the Candle Dragon Clan chooses will determine its fate. Should you dare utter a word of dissent, today the Candle Dragon Clan shall vanish into the river of time.”
As the haggard man finished speaking, several hundred Blood Sea Palace powerhouses appeared, surrounding tens of thousands of Candle Dragon clanspeople.
These Blood Sea Palace powerhouses were fanatically submissive to the Great Demon from the Demon Realm.
There are countless strong beings in the Demon Realm, to these heretic cultivators from the Immortal Realm, it’s simply a holy land!
The tens of thousands of clan members from the Candle Dragon Tribe, beyond being terrified, wavered in their confidence.
With the decisive, ruthless nature of the powerhouses from the Demon Realm, if they refused to cooperate, they’d most likely be massacred.
“Let us discuss this for a moment.”
Seeing the Candle Dragon Tribe in imminent danger, the leaders of the Black Pupil Sect and the Yellow Pupil Sect couldn’t help but hesitate.
“If the Candle Dragon Tribe chooses to side with Blood Sea Palace, then it would be difficult for us to leave today.”
Renzhen Immortal Emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead, sweating profusely.
The strong beings of the Demon Realm were clearly coercing the Candle Dragon Tribe to side with them, and by doing so, they could deal with the teams from Guanghan Holy Land and Tai Hua Holy Land without lifting a finger.
Once the eight clans of the Candle Dragon Tribe joined forces, their strength would be immense.
The strong beings of the Demon Realm weren’t in a rush to act because they wanted to conquer the Candle Dragon Tribe without bloodshed; otherwise, if they truly came to blows, it wouldn’t be easy for Blood Sea Palace either.
“Heh heh, Renzhen Immortal Emperor, the wise adapt themselves to the circumstances. I advise you not to resist, otherwise if you’re beaten to the point of both body and spirit being destroyed later on, it wouldn’t be good.”
The Immortal Emperor Elder who had betrayed Tai Hua Holy Land saw the situation was in his favor and finally emerged from the shadows.
He recognized Renzhen Immortal Emperor.
Renzhen Immortal Emperor’s face turned ashen.
If the Candle Dragon Tribe really decided to side with Blood Sea Palace as a whole, it would indeed be difficult for these two groups to leave.
“What’s got the traitor so spirited?”
Lu Changsheng suddenly spoke up, and the smug traitorous Immortal Emperor was instantly infuriated.
Pointing at Lu Changsheng, he cursed loudly, “Brat, once the Candle Dragon Tribe sides with us, I will make sure to beat you until both your spirit and form are destroyed!”
“The Candle Dragon Tribe may not necessarily side with your Blood Sea Palace. It is not for Blood Sea Palace to decide; I am the one who makes the decisions. Candle Dragon Tribe members, listen to what I have to say.”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Changsheng took the initiative to step forward, seemingly intending to help the Candle Dragon Tribe make a choice.
“What exactly does this brat want to do?”
The traitorous Immortal Emperor saw him for the first time: a junior who was so confidently at ease in the face of adversity. Had his head been kicked by a donkey? Did he not realize the predicament faced by the people of Tai Hua Holy Land?
The strong beings from the Demon Realm coughed continuously but were also curiously observing this Tai Hua Holy Son.
The position of a Tai Hua Holy Son was revered, but until they grew stronger, in the eyes of the Demon Realm strong beings, they were insignificant—unless they reached the level of Lin Xuantong, which was cause for fear.
This Tai Hua Holy Son before them, judging from his aura, had just entered the Immortal Emperor Realm, his strength not even as strong as the weakest leader of the Candle Dragon Tribe. What gave him the right to call the shots?
Out of curiosity, the strong beings from the Demon Realm did not immediately attack Lu Changsheng.
The clan leaders from the Candle Dragon Tribe and the tens of thousands of their clan members turned their gaze upon Lu Changsheng in unison. What exactly was this young human strong man planning?
Neither Huo Zhang nor Yin Hao from the Candle Dragon Tribe, despite exhaustively using their strategies, had managed to completely convince the eight tribes, with Yin Hao even needing to rely on the power of the Demon Realm to coerce the tribes into submission. How could Lu Changsheng, a human cultivator, order around the eight clans of the Candle Dragon Tribe?
Huo Zhang even thought it was outrageous, “The kindness of Lu, my friend, is acknowledged. However, this matter is not something you can interfere with. If it comes to it, I would rather lead my people and perish together with the Silver Eyes Sect.”
Lu Changsheng, knowing that Buyi Immortal Emperor and Fairy Shun Hua were secretly protecting him, was not in a hurry and calmly said, “I am a Holy Son of the human race, naturally I have no right to interfere with the Candle Dragon Tribe’s internal affairs, but my disciple has the qualifications to do so.”
“What?”
All tens of thousands of the Candle Dragon Tribe turned to Lu’s disciple, Ning Qianqian, who was delightfully eating the tribute fruits laid out by the Candle Dragon Tribe before the start of the clan leader selection ceremony.
Noticing that she had been caught red-handed eating the tribute fruits, Ning Qianqian’s face turned red with embarrassment under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of eyes, awkwardly putting them back while her murmuring little mouth was still puffed up. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and hid behind Lu Changsheng.
Yin Hao thought Lu Changsheng had some sort of trump card and burst into laughter, “A little girl has the say in the affairs of the Candle Dragon Tribe?”
“Hahaha.”
The clansmen of the Silver Eyes Sector also laughed.
What authority did Ning Qianqian, a Daluo Golden Immortal, have to manage their Candle Dragon Tribe’s affairs?
Even if she were an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse, the Candle Dragon Tribe could muster more than a dozen!
“Lu, my friend, don’t be like this.”
Even Huo Zhang felt awkward. Explore more stories with empire
Although he knew that Lu Changsheng intended to cause trouble, one still had to be logical.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng seriously said, “My disciple is the Dragon Emperor. It is your fortune that she is willing to manage the trifling affairs of your Candle Dragon Tribe.”
