Chapter 509 Killed
"Ever since I first met Elder Lin, I knew that he was no ordinary person, and today has proven it." Second Elder Li Yuan followed closely behind, raised his glass and stood up.
"Elder Lin." The fourth elder also stood with a cup in hand.
"Elder Lin!"
After the three elders stood up, most of the people present stood up, raised their glasses, and looked at the man in green clothes sitting at the head seat.
"..."
Lin Chuan's eyes swept across the figures in the hall who had not yet stood up. His fingertips stroking the rim of the cup paused slightly, but the corners of his lips still had a decent smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, please."
He slowly stood up, raised his glass to the Great Elder and others, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Jun Mo Xie said this three times, his eyes gleaming, "Now that our clan has such a talented person, why should we worry about not being able to prosper? Even if I abdicate now, I will be at peace!"
"Master Demon Ancestor is absolutely right!"
The Great Elder quickly agreed, "With Her Royal Highness the Princess here, and Elder Lin and the rest of us assisting us, the Demon Clan will surely prosper in the future!
"Lord Demon Ancestor!"
The Third Elder, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "Abdication is a matter of grave importance. How can it be treated as a joke? I hope you will reconsider!"
"Oh?"
Jun Moxie raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes as sharp as a hawk as he looked straight at the Third Elder, "Third Elder, do you think that my daughter is not capable of leading the demon clan forward?"
"Master Demon Ancestor has misunderstood!"
The Fifth Elder hurriedly stood up, hunched over and waving his hands repeatedly. "Although we have long heard that Her Royal Highness is exceptionally gifted, we have never seen her demonstrate her abilities in person. It's natural that we have some doubts in our hearts. Please forgive us, sir!"
"What do the Fifth Elders want?"
Jun Moxie's fingertips tapped the table unconsciously, and the sound carried a chilling sense of oppression.
"I heard that King Changqing's eldest son, Jun Qiubao, has awakened his bloodline twice, just like Her Royal Highness the Princess, and is also at the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
The Fifth Elder lowered his eyes, his tone seemingly respectful, but suddenly changed the subject, "Why not let him compete with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Jiang Zhaosheng! Do you still have any shame?"
Second Elder Li Yuan slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide with anger. "Her Royal Highness the Princess has just entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and that kid from the Changqing Wang family is already at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and I'm afraid he's almost at the threshold of the Tribulation Crossing Stage! This competition is clearly a case of the strong bullying the weak!"
"Second Elder, what you said is inappropriate."
The Fifth Elder raised his eyelids slightly and said slowly, "Your Highness the Princess possesses the body of an immortal demon. The gap in realm can be easily bridged."
"Jiang Zhaosheng, you shameless old bastard, don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind, you..."
Second Elder Li Yuan cursed without restraint. Fifth Elder's forehead was throbbing with veins throbbing. He said sinisterly, "I heard earlier that Second Elder was thrown out of the brothel and died a miserable death. Now I believe it."
Jun Moxie sat in the main seat and ignored the argument between the two. He glanced at the Queen Changqing who was silent and seemed like an outsider below, and then looked at Lin Wanxi beside him.
"Father, please don't worry." Lin Wanxi said seriously.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Jun Moxie finally nodded and said loudly, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dancers in the center of the hall bowed their heads and retreated.
Lin Wanxi cast a soothing glance at Lin Chuan, then strode towards the center of the hall. Almost immediately, a muscular, middle-aged man in a blue robe stepped out.
"Your Highness, I have a request. If I win, can I..."
Jun Qiubao bowed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Wanxi's cold voice.
"Thinking of winning before we even start?" She frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Did your father ever teach you that pride comes before a fall?"
"If that's the case, then..."
Jun Qiubao sneered, his muscles bulged, and his iron fist, accompanied by a whistling wind, smashed towards Lin Wanxi's face.
"Dream."
Lin Wanxi raised her hand lightly, and Jun Qiubao's fist suddenly froze. When he regained consciousness in the blink of an eye, the girl was no longer before him, only a shadowy figure brimming with divine and demonic power, piercing the air.
Lin Chuan stared at Lin Wanxi, who had the upper hand in the center of the hall, with deep thoughts in his eyes.
Lin Chuan had learned a lot about the demons during his free time recently, so he naturally knew why the scene in the palace happened today.
Back then, after Jun Moyue ended the civil strife, he had no intention of remarrying and had no children. Therefore, the Changqing King's lineage, the largest force that had helped Jun Moyue quell the civil strife, began to have other ideas.
In the demon clan, there is a rule that the new demon ancestor needs to be approved by at least four of the seven elders before he can take the throne.
King Changqing is well aware of this and has been operating in secret for many years. Relying on his vast network of contacts and resources, he has placed his confidants in the positions of elders, occupying three of the seven seats in one fell swoop, forming a delicate stalemate with Jun Moyue's forces.
But what King Changqing never expected was that just when he thought victory was assured, Lin Wanxi, who had disappeared for years, suddenly returned. She had even awakened the immortal demon body that, according to ancestral rules, guaranteed her succession to the Demon Ancestor's throne. In a short period of time, she made great progress in her cultivation, and her talent astounded the entire demon clan.
King Changqing had been meticulously planning for many years, but Lin Wanxi's return was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, completely disrupting his plans. Now, if they didn't take action, there would be no chance.
"What is Achuan thinking about?"
Jiang Wanying picked up a spiritual fruit with her fingertips and gently handed it to Lin Chuan's lips.
Lin Chuan bit into the spiritual fruit, the juice bursting between his teeth, but his eyes were fixed on Jun Qiubao.
"I'm thinking about how to kill him reasonably."
……
In the center of the hall, a fierce battle was in full swing.
"I heard that Her Highness the Princess has awakened the magical power of the Immortal Demon Eye. Why are you still hiding it? Are you afraid of hurting me?"
Jun Qiubao sneered, and his attack became more and more fierce like a violent storm.
Lin Wanxi had an indifferent expression as she moved nimbly under Jun Qiubao's fierce attack. Unbeknownst to her, a faint smell of blood had filled the air.
"Is your Highness the Princess mute? A mute inheriting the throne of the Demon Ancestor is something that has never happened in the Demon Tribe since ancient times."
Jun Qiubao raised his lips in a scornful arc, his words were full of provocation and ridicule, and his offensive became more and more fierce.
