Sometimes, if the empress reigns for too long, once these women reach a certain age, they will be removed from the list of candidates, and the Presbyterian Council will continue to select a new batch of women for training.

And those women who have been eliminated, although there is no possibility of succeeding to the position of empress, but because they are all carefully cultivated by the Elders, they are far above ordinary martial artists in terms of talent and strength, and each of them has the ability to take charge of their own.

For these women, it is also impossible for the Council of Elders to abandon them, but to co-opt them and become a powerful force under the Council of Elders, and it is precisely because of the existence of these women who have failed to inherit the empress that the strength of the Council of Elders has always been in an absolute advantage in the empire.

According to rumors, Wan Gu Lady was one of the losers back then, but she was strong and scheming, and gradually grew up in the Council of Elders, and finally sat on the position of Great Elder.

However, it was precisely because of that unpleasant experience at the beginning that Wan Gu Old Lady also had a trace of jealousy for the empresses of the past dynasties, deep down in her heart, which was also the fundamental reason why she killed several generations of empresses.

However, although she was jealous of the empress in her heart, as the great elder of Qianwu, Wan Gu also knew that the empress had to choose one, and she also had her own thoughts about handing over the selection of the empress to Li Shuquan.

First of all, the Li family has a very high status in the Thousand Witches Empire, and there are not a few people in the family who hold important positions in the empire, and although Li Shuquan is not very good, because he is the biological father of the previous generation of empresses, his status in the Li family is extremely high, and if he is in charge, it is enough to be convincing.

However, Li Shuquan obviously didn't be happy for too long, and Wan Gu's next words were like pouring a basin of cold water on him.

"Elder Li, the old body will leave the matter of selecting the empress to you, but there is one thing you have to remember, now that the empire is in an eventful season, the selection of this empress is particularly important, you must choose an empress who can really lead the empire out of the current predicament, otherwise, if something goes wrong in the empire, the old body will have to ask you!"

The threat in Wan Gu's words was already very obvious, Li Shuquan knew that this matter was not as simple as he originally thought, listening to Wan Gu's meaning, this time the empress candidate was to be selected under her supervision, so the selection criteria were very debatable.

However, seeing that Li Shuquan didn't dare to disobey the will of the old lady Wan Gu, he saw him say respectfully: "Great Elder, please rest assured, the old man will do his best to handle this matter, and he will never live up to the expectations of the Great Elder." ”

Hearing Li Shuquan's words, Wan Gu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and a hint of a smile appeared on her dry face: "Yes, Elder Li is really a reasonable person, you have to believe in the old man's words, that is, only a reasonable person can live longer." ”

As she spoke, she saw that Wan Gu's right hand immediately patted Li Shuquan's shoulder, although the power in Wan Gu's hand was very light, but every time she patted it, Li Shuquan's heart beat involuntarily, as if she was afraid that if her strength was a little greater, her body would fall apart.

After taking a deep look at Li Shuquan, he saw that the old woman Wan Gu immediately turned around, her eyes fell on the huge cloud of Gu worms in the air, and she muttered in her mouth: "It's time, after being bitten by Gu worms for so long, no matter how strong her strength is, she will eventually be weak, not to mention that the original Ten Thousand Snakes have been seriously injured by the corpse Gu, like a waste person." ”

I saw that the voice of the old woman Wan Gu fell, and with a wave of the dragon head staff in her hand, the cloud of Gu insects in the air was like a milk swallow returning to its nest, and all of them were submerged into the head and mouth of the dragon head staff.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a suspicious voice came from the mouth of the old woman Wan Gu, and the elders beside her couldn't help but jump in their hearts, but they didn't know what had happened.

I saw Li Shuquan ask in a low voice, "Great Elder, but what has happened?"

Facing Li Shuquan's inquiry, Wan Gu Old Lady didn't answer, but frowned, and pondered in a low voice: "Strange, how can there be no corpse of ten thousand snakes?"

Hearing the whispered muttering of the old woman Wan Gu, Li Shuquan on one side couldn't help but speak: "This, the Great Elder actually doesn't have to worry too much, she hasn't seen the corpse of the Ten Thousand Snakes, presumably, she has already been eaten up by the Gu worms you raised!"

Regarding Li Shuquan's words, Wan Gu Old Woman just shook her head, and then said no more, only to see that she searched around, and indeed did not find the corpse of the Thousand Witch Empress, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Is it really as Li Shuquan said, the corpse of the Ten Thousand Snakes was eaten up by the old body of the baby Gu worm?"

Although there were still some doubts in his heart, considering that the Ten Thousand Snakes had been seriously injured by the corpse Gu before, and the Ten Thousand Gu Old Lady did not believe it, in that case, the Ten Thousand Snakes would still be able to escape from the cloud of Gu worms, and in the end, they could only acquiesce to this result in their hearts.

There was already a resolution in her heart, and she saw that the old woman Wan Gu didn't think much about it anymore, her body turned, and she looked at the elders present and said: "Today, you join hands with the old body to kill this empress who brought disaster to the empire here, this matter, presumably there is no need to be reminded by the old body, you also know the importance of it, everyone had better rot this matter in their stomachs, if this matter is spread, even if everyone present, it is terrifying and difficult to escape the accusations of everyone in the empire, you, understand?"

Hearing Wan Gu's words, everyone present couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and the next moment, they saw Li Shuquan take the lead and promise: "Great Elder, please rest assured, we are also very aware of the seriousness of this matter, and there will definitely be no problems." ”

As he spoke, he saw a flash in Li Shuquan's eyes, and he looked at the others and said: "The old man thinks that you are also very clear, if someone has an errand at that time, don't blame me Li Shuquan's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Between the words, the murderous aura on Li Shuquan's body flashed away, and when facing Wan Gu Old Woman, he was as dignified as a grandson, but when facing other ordinary elders, Li Shuquan had the temperament of a superior person.

Seeing this, Wan Gu didn't say anything, just let Li Shuquan be the fox and fake the tiger, in this matter, she was also very careful, but now she didn't want to kill all the elders present, after all, among these elders, there are still loyal subordinates who have been with her for a long time, if she really kills them all at once, then he will really have no soldiers to use.
