Thinking about this issue of Demon Saint Panxiang and thinking about his own position, Lin Jiu felt both happy and sad.
What is gratifying is that the ancient demon saints of the demon clan are at least paying attention to the changes in the demon clan and have the idea of meddling in the affairs of the demon clan. At the same time, these demon saints do not exclude people other than the demon prince. Taking over the position of the Demon King - these ancient demon saints don't care about the so-called legal system and the so-called legitimacy that others attach great importance to.
But sadly, the possibility of mastering the power of the demon clan has been greatly reduced.
Having two saints on his back is Lin Jiu's greatest advantage.
But again, after the Panxiang Demon Saint named him, this became Lin Jiu's biggest disadvantage.
——The Demon Emperor is the most important pillar among the demon clan. From the time when the demon clan walked on the earth in ancient times, to now, there is only one demon emperor.
One can imagine how important the existence of the Demon King is to the Demon Clan.
Once something went wrong with the Demon King, the blow to the entire Demon Clan would be no worse than the fall of the Demon Saints.
Under such circumstances, how can a person whose position is ambiguous and unable to guarantee his position at the critical moment get the support of those demon saints and secure the throne of the demon emperor?
Just like two big countries with equal strength, how can one of the big countries tolerate the prince of the other big country as its master?
Even if the relationship between them is close, they are not a family after all, and they will not let others take advantage of them to this extent.
How can a disciple of Shangqing Lingbaozun, the true successor of the Shangqing lineage, be called the Demon King of the Demon Clan?
At the beginning, all Lin Jiu wanted to do was to take up the banner of the demon clan, to integrate the power of the demon clan, and by the way, get the protection of those demon saints - after all, no matter how big-hearted those demon saints are, , even after the ancient demon emperor passed away, the second banner of the demon clan was suppressed and killed. With them here, even if they did not express their support for Lin Jiu clearly, but as long as they did not express their opposition to Lin Jiu, then Between the earth and the earth, those strong men who have achieved the Taiyi realm cannot openly attack Lin Jiu, the banner of the demon clan.
At that time, Lin Jiu didn't think much about the position of Demon King.
But when the Demon Crown Prince sent someone to mention the throne of the Demon Emperor, and then Lin Jiu had an unusual fight with Ya Qianjue, the Dao Fruit Giant Demon, now, someone came on behalf of the hidden Demon Saints of the Demon Clan.
After this series of actions, even if Lin Jiu himself had no idea about the Demon Emperor's position, he could not help but have his thoughts wandering now.
And the most important thing - I don’t have to do it, but you can’t stop me from doing it!
Lin Jiu could give up the position of Demon King, but that would be giving up on his own initiative, rather than being denied by others that he could not be the Demon King.
As soon as such rebellious spirit came up, it was choked in Lin Jiu's throat. On the contrary, it made him care infinitely more about the position of the Demon King.
The harder it was to sit on it, the more he wanted to sit on it and give it a try.
But the question asked by Demon Saint Panxiang on behalf of other Demon Saints is not so easy to answer.
Which side is your own position?
While thinking about how to respond to Demon Saint Panxiang, Lin Jiu also took this opportunity to examine his own heart.
Rationally speaking, at this time, he should respond to Panxiang Demon Saint with an extremely firm attitude. He is the demon god of the demon clan, and his position must be on the side of the demon clan. As for Shangqing, It is just a part of his own journey and has nothing to do with the overall situation. When necessary, he can even bring the Shangqing into the game for the benefit of the demon clan and sacrifice the interests of the Shangqing.
But does rationality always mean it is correct?
Lin Jiu opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything about sacrificing Shangqing.
Frankly speaking, his relationship with the Shangqing lineage is really not a close relationship.
He has only seen the Shangqingling Baozun twice, and these two times were still separated by infinite time and space, so he doesn't know if it is really an illusion.
Nowadays, Shangqing Lingbao respects Jin'ao Island. He, the only true successor of Shangqing in this era, has never received the talisman of Shangqing and was called to Jin'ao Island by Shangqing Lingbao.
Only a few of the disciples from the Shangqing lineage had ever interacted with Lin Jiu.
Shen Gongbao, Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, Qiu Shouxian...
What's more, Shangqing has a teaching without distinction. Even if you are not a disciple of Shangqing, if you get the chance, you can still get the teachings of Shangqing Lingbaozun.
For him like this, if necessary, Lin Jiu himself is not a disciple of Shangqing and has nothing to do with the Shangqing lineage, so it is considered normal.
But the problem is, even if he can give up Shangqing, when he really encounters Shangqing's disciples, and when the interests of the demon clan and Shangqing's interests conflict, can Lin Jiu really be able to do it?
Lin Jiu couldn't help but recall Shen Gongbao's advice to him, Empress Yunxiao's care for him, and Zhao Gongming's kindness to him.
Also when they were on Wuzhi Mountain, when those Shangqing disciples opened the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they tried their best to spread the clear light on the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation toward Lin Jiu, in an attempt to protect Lin Jiu in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. …
Even though they were betrayed by traitors, when these betrayed Shangqing disciples became aware of Lin Jiu's existence, this Shangqing disciple who had never had any contact with Lin Jiu showed the first The response is still acceptance and kindness, rather than vigilance and rejection.
These Shangqing disciples, let alone whether Lin Jiu could suppress them, even if Lin Jiu really had the strength to suppress them, could he really attack them?
When Lin Jiu looked into his heart, Demon Saint Panxiang and the other Demon Saints in Dayun Palace looked at Lin Jiu's face with interest, waiting for Lin Jiu's answer.
"Guess which side he will choose?"
"Who knows?" The Ancient Demon Saint Shang Yang moved his hands and feet, and time condensed into a book in his hands. He opened the pages and looked at what happened after the collapse of the Ancient Courtyard recorded in the book. He waved his hand and sent a message to Shi Beihai, "I'm just curious now, Demon Master, what did you and Supreme Emperor Wa do, and why did I really come back to life?"
Shang Yang is one of the ten strongest among the many demon saints of the ancient demon clan. Before the demon emperor fell, Shang Yang had already fought hard and died at the hands of the ancestor of water, Wu Gonggong. Lian Zhen The spirit was scattered.
Others may not be aware of this, but Shang Yang himself is extremely clear about it.
But now, he is clearly dead, his true spirit has been dispersed and it is completely impossible for him to be resurrected, but he has returned to this place again. How can this not make Shang Yang strange?
When he first came to the Dayun Palace, Shang Yang was curious as to why among the fallen demon saints, only his own thoughts were dragged into the Great Cloud Palace. But who would have thought that his thoughts were not the only ones dragged into the Great Cloud Palace. Yun Gong, but among the fallen demon saints, is he the only one to survive?
Moreover, why is it him and not the Demon Emperor and another great sage of the Demon Clan?
Shi Beihai ignored him and just focused his attention on the Thorn Ridge again.
On the Thorn Ridge, Lin Jiu had already given his own answer to Panxiang's question.
…
"Standing point." Lin Jiu sighed helplessly, "This question is really hard for me to answer."
"If the Demon Saint insists on an answer, I can only say that I am not only a Dao Fruit Immortal under the Shangqing Sect, but also an immortal Demon God of the Demon Clan." Lin Jiu looked at the answer he came up with after examining his heart in awe.
Even if Lord Shangqing Lingbao has not yet summoned Lin Jiu to Jin'ao Island, Lin Jiu, who has inherited Shangqing's inheritance, has no doubt that the disciples of Shangqing's disciples - the great poison of the magical power taught by Shangqing, has been passed down to this day. It is an extremely important cornerstone in Lin Jiu's strength.
In the process of Lin Jiu's cultivation, in the process of comprehending the Great Dao, and in the process of cultivating the Dao Fruit, in the Dao Mountain Forest, other Shangqing disciples shook their own Dao trees against Lin Jiu's influence. Guidance and help are also something Lin Jiu cannot deny.
Unless Shangqing Lingbao Zun personally expelled Lin Jiu from the identity of Shangqing True Successor, otherwise, this is a label that Lin Jiu will never abandon. When the Shangqing lineage needs Lin Jiu's power, Lin Jiu will He will never be stingy with the power in his hands.
The same is true for the demon clan!
"This is not true." Panxiang Demon Saint shook his head, "The Shangqing lineage is also the inheritance of Taoism. The foundation of Taoism lies in the human race - but our demon race and the human race are destined to be incompatible and incompatible."
"Although the earth is large, it cannot accommodate two races that dominate the land, just like the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan back then."
"This means that the Shangqing lineage and the demon clan are destined to part ways and meet each other in war. Even if you are called the demon emperor, you cannot avoid this situation. What will you do when the time comes?" asked Demon Saint Panxiang. .
"That happened a long time ago." Lin Jiu also shook his head and responded, "Although there are laws between the earth and the earth, those who do not plan for the eternity will not be able to plan for a moment, but the purpose of this method is to consolidate the foundation and make up for it. The flaws in one’s own family are not used to distinguish between friends and foes.”
"If there is a dispute, then if one day, the Demon Saint and I both have great hope, but there is only one person who can set foot in the Daluo, then there will definitely be a dispute between the Demon Saint and I. There is only one way. Should the Demon Saint want to avoid it?" Why are you going to kill me now for the subsequent dispute?”
"There are other Demon Saints who are also very likely to have moral disputes with the Demon Saint. Will the Panxiang Demon Saint also take action against them?"
"From my standpoint, the interests between the Shangqing and the demon clan, there is only one answer I can give."
"Then just look at the present - at least now, the interests of the Shangqing and the demon clan are consistent. The demon clan is the best foreign aid for the Shangqing. The Shangqing is also the only saint supreme who can tolerate the rise of the demon clan. It’s beneficial to both.”
"As for future disputes, future disputes will be discussed later. Why worry in vain?"
"What's more, are all the demon saints clay puppets? Even if the demon emperor betrays the interests of the demon clan, are the demon saints still willing to respect him as the demon emperor and obey his orders?"
Lin Jiuzhuo had already come to his senses.
