Chapter 1102: Chapter 741: Gathering of Elders
Choosing a new Human King?
This was something Xiang Beifei had not expected.
"In such a situation, wouldn’t it be good if they chose a Human King? Why does Shibo disagree?" Xiang Beifei asked.
In his view, whether there was a Human King or not was not particularly important; it was just a title. As long as all of the Human Race were united, it didn’t matter who was the king.
However, Luo Shanyou firmly said, "Not just anyone is qualified to be the Human King!"
Xiang Beifei asked curiously, "Then why do you think I’m qualified?"
Luo Shanyou’s expression was extremely serious. He calmly said, "The Human King is not only the leader of the Human Race but also represents the future. A person who cannot show the Human Race a future cannot be the Human King!"
After a pause, Luo Shanyou continued, "I can see the future from you; I cannot see it from him!"
When Xiang Beifei renovated the entire city with Jianmu and settled over three thousand people in recent days, Luo Shanyou had concluded that Xiang Beifei was the future of the Human Race!
Xiang Beifei asked, "Who is the person they want to nominate, and what is his cultivation level?"
Luo Shanyou said solemnly, "That person is the currently most powerful individual in our Human Race, named Fu Yuzi, who is in the ascension realm."
"The ascension realm?" Xiang Beifei said in surprise.
"Yes, ever since two years ago, when another elder in the ascension realm, Daoist Heyan, perished together with the Dao Palace masters in order to protect our race while retreating from the Fortress, Fu Yuzi has been the only remaining expert in the ascension realm among our Human Race," Luo Shanyou said.
"Letting him be the king isn’t bad either, after all, he is very powerful."
Xiang Beifei didn’t particularly like to pursue such empty titles; he just wanted to do his own thing and settle the Human Race first.
As for the ascension realm, he could reach that level, but it would take time.
However, Luo Shanyou insisted firmly, "The Human King must be you!"
"Shibo has given me a difficult problem; I don’t have the advantage in terms of strength." Xiang Beifei laughed.
"I don’t think you can’t beat him," Luo Shanyou said.
"Shibo should know that I am only in the mid-Inquiry Dao Realm, right?" Xiang Beifei said.
"You walked out from the ruins of Rushou, and he didn’t!"
"I was lucky."
"Luck wouldn’t let a person in the late immortal stage break through to the Inquiry Dao Realm and walk out alive from the ruins of Rushou."
Luo Shanyou always had an inexplicable confidence in Xiang Beifei: "I believe you won’t dishonor his name."
"Who?"
"You know who I’m talking about," Luo Shanyou said. "When I used to study with him in Jiuzhou, he always fought others beyond his realm, knocking them down with one punch."
Xiang Beifei laughed. The Leisure System of Luo Yunxian was always quite special; his system could redistribute points, and sometimes, when all the points were added to strength, no one could withstand his punch.
But he still shook his head, "Even if I could fight, I don’t want to fight him."
The Human Race’s situation was already so difficult; internal conflict was completely unnecessary.
The hardest punches are aimed outward; fighting internally until one loses life would only lead to grave loss.
"Let’s meet the person first."
Luo Shanyou took a deep look at Xiang Beifei and said nothing more, just turned around and leapt into the air.
Xiang Beifei also got up to follow.
"I’m coming too, I’m coming too, I’ve got your back!"
Li Qianluo cheerfully clung to Xiang Beifei’s back.
Luo Shanyou didn’t object, having already considered Li Qianluo one of his own. Though this matter was an internal affair of the Human Race, Li Qianluo was somewhat special.
They quickly left the Human Race’s city and came into the void.
——
"Why don’t we let them come in? Why do we have to go out?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"If the leaders of each stronghold need to discuss matters, it must be in the void. This is the safest way, mainly because the Elder Council discussions are very important, and the Dao Palace has been seizing opportunities. If spies were to infiltrate, the stronghold would be at risk. Therefore, meetings are held in the void far from human strongholds. If the Dao Palace takes aim, everyone can escape on their own without much concern," Duan Guyan explained.
They flew fast for half an hour before Duan Guyan stopped, sending a Spiritual Power into the void. A powerful Divine Sense spread through the void, landing on the four of them. After confirming, the formation in the void dispersed.
In front of them, figures were already standing in the void waiting for him. They didn’t use breath soil but rather blood wood to resist the void’s power.
There were a total of fifteen people.
Different numbers came from different strongholds. Under normal circumstances, when discussing significant matters for the Human Race, at most two representatives from a stronghold would be sent, but due to Xiang Beifei’s special identity, more had shown up this time.
When they saw Luo Shanyou, they nodded slightly, glanced over Duan Guyan, stayed on Li Qianluo for a moment longer, but everyone seemed to recognize Li Qianluo and said nothing, finally shifting their gaze to Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei was under the scrutiny of fifteen gazes, with various strong perceptions and pressures bearing down on him.
As for the emotions of the gaze owners, Xiang Beifei could easily discern them because he could use Long Guocheng’s Spotlight System to clearly analyze the meaning behind each gaze.
Three were filled with deep anger, four with hostility, five with hope, one with confusion, one serene, and one surprised.
Among the fifteen, it seemed only seven carried unfriendly gazes.
The situation wasn’t too bad.
Xiang Beifei let his gaze fall onto the most prominent person in the crowd: an elderly man with white hair and beard, sporting a simple bone hairpin holding his Dao topknot, clad in a gray Dao robe, his aura steady. Although not intentionally remarkable, his presence stood out in the crowd.
