In the realm of nothingness, the colors are turbid, and in the chaos of light and shadow, countless dark boulders can be vaguely seen floating in the air.
Among them, the big one is more than ten thousand feet high, and the small one is boundless. Only the outline can be seen in the light of stars.
At this moment, on that large and small piece of land attached to the land, there were several figures shrouded in red mist gathered together. They spoke sharply and seemed to be arguing about something.
"You guy, why do you make your choice without our consent?"
"Watch your attitude! Be polite when talking to the clan leader!" The speaker was a man with half of his face burned off.
"Bah! Back then, I reluctantly called him "Little Patriarch" just for the sake of the old Patriarch's face. After all these years, have I really forgotten my identity?" The visitor had an angry look on his face, "Now that the old Patriarch is no longer here, we are This trash will never be allowed to continue occupying this position!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the group of people behind him immediately stood on both sides of him.
"Bold!" The disfigured man's eyes were full of fierceness. He swung a giant ax with one move and stamped his feet, causing ripples visible to the naked eye to spread out.
Then, several figures lined up with him to build a long wall.
"Hahaha... Lu Qian, please step aside first!" The man known as the clan leader laughed and waved his hand in front of him, "Senior Lu Qian is right, I was indeed responsible for what happened this time... But at that time The situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to do so! I hope you will listen to my explanation..."
Seeing that the other party did not refuse, the clan leader walked out from behind Lu Qian: "What happened to Lu Nanxi was too sudden. I didn't expect that he would activate the power of dragon transformation at this moment. The clan leader is not well prepared at the moment. If he transfers there rashly, It will definitely cause space fluctuations, and it will be bad if you are targeted by that person!"
"Absurd!" Lu Qian's eyes were filled with anger. "Our Zhu Jiuyin clan has the power to shake the world above and the power to overthrow the earth! How can we be afraid of a mere mortal like him? We are so timid that a guy like you is not worthy of being our clan leader. ! Hand over the token quickly, otherwise it won’t be as simple as discussing it with you!”
"Prisoner Lu! If you dare to be disrespectful again..."
When Lu Qian heard this, he frowned like a horned dragon, but before he finished speaking, he saw a sudden thunderbolt flash in Lu Qian's eyes, and then he waved his palm and smashed the opponent's door.
"Well done!" Lu Qian reacted quickly. Fire suddenly rose from the giant axe, and he slashed at the opponent's hand with the sharp blade, looking like he was going to break it into two pieces!
The physical body and the divine weapon were connected, and the result was obvious, but the situation in front of him was the opposite.
The moment the seemingly soft palm came into contact with the ax blade, sparks flew out and exploded with a wave of air.
Except for the clan leader, everyone onlookers staggered and was knocked back several feet before they regained their footing.
Lu Qian didn't want the clan leader to lose face, so he originally held on for a breath, but Lu Qian's palm was quite powerful, and he had no intention of stopping, and he actually used it to the fullest.
The air wave extinguished the fire on the giant axe, then rolled the giant ax away from his hand and flipped it backwards, slashing towards Lu Qian's neck, intending to remove his head.
"Hmph!" Fortunately, Lu Qian didn't intend to kill the other party. He suddenly reached out and grasped the handle of the giant ax with his palm, then withdrew his strength and smashed it into the other party's arms.
"Save it! You guys who are pampered and privileged are no match for those of us who have returned from the wasteland!" Seeing the unwillingness in Lu Qian's eyes, Lu Qian said coldly.
Lu Qian moved his lips, but didn't say anything anymore. He propped himself up with the giant axe, feeling extremely decadent.
Yes, the environment here is difficult, and it has nothing to do with the words "pampering", but it is much better than the "empty wasteland" mentioned by the other party. At least you don't have to be careful about your life at all times.
As he spoke, a layer of dark red scales appeared outside Lu Qian's body, which looked like armor.
"The physical form! It turns out to be the physical form!" Seeing this situation, the crowd in the distance suddenly became noisy.
The so-called physical form is to transform one's own abilities into an external appearance to protect oneself. Although it is simple to say, there are only a handful of people who can achieve Lu Qian's level from ancient times to the present.
The patriarch narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He was really curious about how people like Lu Qian could return from the void. It turned out to be because the other party had such an adventure. Did he really not deserve to die?
If these returnees have the ability to form physical forms, then it is indeed difficult to guarantee their position as the leader of the clan!
When he met Lu Prisoner's eyes, the threat in his eyes was obvious. His main purpose of returning this time was to establish his authority in front of him.
"Hand it over." Lu Prisoner's expression was indifferent, as if he had a chance to win.
The clan leader smiled, suddenly took out a shiny golden sign from his arms, and then spoke slowly.
"Since ancient times, there have been two secret rules in our Zhujiuyin clan regarding the position of clan leader! One is that the position of clan leader is only suitable for the strongest in the clan!"
"Back then, when I came out of the Fierce Sun Valley, my strength was naturally recognized by the old clan leader, so the old clan leader made me the acting clan leader!"
"Acting clan leader?" Everyone, even Lu Qian, looked confused.
"That's right!" the clan leader continued, "Secondly, this strong man must be a direct bloodline of Zhu Jiuyin!"
"So, I just kept the token under the orders of the old patriarch! I have to wait for the real patriarch to return and return the token to the opponent, so... I can't give it to you no matter what!"
"Absurd!" Lu Prisoner's eyes became more fierce, "You come and say those deceptive words to me. How come I haven't heard of this second kind of rule?"
The patriarch's token is at his fingertips, and he is ready to take action.
"Because... you don't have the qualifications." The clan leader's expression suddenly turned cold, causing the air around him to freeze.
Although prisoner Lu was unwilling to give in, the other party said that he could not take it by force. He is now powerful and can obtain the token justifiably, and there is absolutely no need to gain notoriety.
"Qualifications?" Lu Qian forced himself to remain calm, "Qualifications can be adapted to changing circumstances! Now that the direct bloodline of the Zhu Jiuyin clan has been completely extinct, who else can have this qualification?"
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, jokingly: "I see, that's it! I finally understand, the reason why you don't want everyone to leave here! It's because you are worried that Mr. Zhukun will still come back. Now, am I going to strip you of your position as clan leader?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about..." The patriarch's expression changed slightly.
"Did you really get what I said?" Seeing the change in the other party's expression, Lu Qian's eyes became more contemptuous, "Why are you not prepared well? Why are you worried about being discovered? You are so brazen, it turns out that everything is for Your selfishness! Over the years, have you ever cared about the life and death of your clan members?"
"Lu Ci, you are really good at calculating! Wasn't the incident in Lu Nanxi and Lieyang Valley already in your plan?" Everything suddenly became clear, Lu Qian said aggressively.
If Lu Nanxi were here, he would be familiar with this clan leader. He was undoubtedly the former "savior" Lu Ci.
"No! That's not the case! Senior Lu Qian misunderstood!" Lu Ci's breathing quickened, "I have never thought of it that way! It was just...a coincidence!"
"Really? Then explain to them slowly?" Lu Qian pointed to the crowd in the distance and was about to speak.
"What's going on?" Seeing the clan leader's ugly face, the expressions of a group of clan members also became solemn.
Although they wanted to go over and help, they couldn't get close without the other party's order.
Especially after seeing Lu Qian's strength, they felt that even if they joined forces, they would not be their opponents...
"Wait!" Lu Ci gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you!"
"Huh?" Lu Prisoner raised his eyebrows: "What do you promise?"
"Our Zhu Jiuyin clan has respected the strong since ancient times. Since senior Lu Qian has understood the ability of physical transformation, the younger ones should also abide by the rules, so... I promise to give you the clan leader's token!" Lu Qian Ci said expressionlessly, then held the clan leader's token between the two and handed it out.
"Ha...you have a guilty conscience." Lu Qian said with disdain, "Don't worry! As long as Mr. Zhu Kun is still alive, I will naturally return the clan leader's token to its original owner! Your virtue is completely unworthy of the position of the clan leader, so this thing It’s better to leave it to me for the time being!”
With that said, Zhu Jiuyin reached out to take the clan leader's token.
"And... don't think that this matter is over! After the situation in front of you stabilizes, there will naturally be clan rules to punish you!"
"..."
He wanted to take away the clan leader's token, but the opponent's fingers were like crab claws, tightly holding the thing.
"Lu Ci, I'm saving some face for you just for the sake of the old patriarch. I hope you'll be wiser." Lu Qian said in an unhappy tone.
"Senior Lu Qian..." An intriguing smile suddenly appeared on Lu Ci's face, "What do you mean now?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Qian's forehead jumped and he felt something was wrong.
"I just took out the clan leader's token for you to see. Why did you try to snatch it? Did you forget the old clan leader's instructions and want to betray us?" Lu Ci suddenly raised his voice a little higher.
"Lu Ci! You... you despicable villain! Aren't you afraid that I will tell you what you did?" Lu Prisoner had had such scruples for a long time, but he didn't expect that his momentary negligence would turn it into a fact.
"Senior Lu Qian, are you so angry that you couldn't take it by force and want to beat him up?" Lu Ci suddenly let go of his hand, "I have already told you everything. Even if you get the clan leader's token, you are just an acting clan leader. You Why are you still so persistent? If you really have a way to lead us out of here, what if I transfer this position to you?"
As he spoke, Lu Ci suddenly changed the topic: "Or...are you unwilling to just be the acting clan leader?"
"Ah! Don't talk nonsense, you despicable villain!" Lu Qian suddenly felt that the clan leader's token in his hand had become a hot potato. It was neither a matter of throwing it away nor a matter of not throwing it away. His eyes seemed to be filled with countless sharp edges.
"Lu Qian! Tell them what's going on!" Lu Qian remained silent from the beginning to the end. Seeing this, Lu Qian seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly pulled him to him.
"Actually..." Lu Qian's eyes were a little complicated, and he suddenly raised his head and said firmly: "As you can see! He! He clearly covets the position of the patriarch and wants to threaten the patriarch with words! Fortunately, the patriarch behaves upright and is not afraid of gossip. , I don’t want him to succeed no matter what!”
"Lu Qian! You..." Lu Qian looked at the other party in disbelief and gritted his teeth and said, "Thankfully I just let you go, but I didn't expect that you would actually collude and join forces to insult my reputation!"
"Okay! Since you have said so, I will keep this clan leader's token. I will see clearly what is right and wrong in the future! Farewell!"
