Chapter 44: Temptation
Sitting on the patriarch's seat, he was silent on the surface, and from time to time he talked with Caoshan and others on the side, talking and laughing, but deep down, he was a little uneasy.
Over the years, it is not that the rest of the Mu clan branches have sent people to participate in the 'Election Festival', and they generally send a five-tooth elder with a decent status to cheer for the scene, but this year it is an exception, not only came, but also several as soon as they came.
Although these are all elders, their identities are completely different from ordinary elders.
First of all, the Elder Grass Mountain of the Beast Wood Clan, this person is the Elder of the Seven Fangs.
Although the seniority is the same as that of Xuanmu Long, with the strength of the Beast Wood Clan, this person's status is far higher than that of the patriarch of the average medium-sized tribe.
Again, it's the Qinglie of the Aoki clan.
This person is second only to the patriarch in the Aoki clan, and the most important thing is that Qinglie's own uncle is the master of the six realms of the spirit master of the Aoki clan, and if he adds this relationship, his status is not much worse than that of the patriarch of the Aoki clan.
As for the vine war of the Fujiki clan, the arrival of this guy made Genki Takashi even more frightened.
Although Fuji Zhan is only a five-tooth elder in the Fujiki clan now, he is the patriarch of the previous Fujiki clan, and during his tenure, the Fujiki clan is only a medium-sized tribe with a population of only about three or four thousand, and his strength is a few points inferior to the Xuanmu clan.
Since this guy served as the patriarch, his vigorous and resolute style, fiery personality, and warlike personality made the Fujiki tribe annex three medium-sized tribes in just ten years, and also subdued the personnel of the three tribes in a short period of time, thus making the Fujiki tribe a large tribe with a population of more than 10,000.
Today's Fujiki patriarch is supported by Fuji Zhan, although on the surface everyone thinks that Fuji Zhan is old, regardless of the affairs of the tribe, but Genki Takashi knows that the current Fujiki clan has been twisted into a rope, and Fuji Zhan is the real master behind the scenes, as long as an order is given, it is possible for all members of the Fujiki clan to fight.
As for the Ghost Wood Clan, although it is only a medium-sized tribe, and its population is the same as that of the Xuanmu Clan, the number of Spirit Warriors of the Ghost Wood Clan accounts for almost one-fifth of the population, which is almost equal to the number of Spirit Warriors of the big tribes.
?? The status of the elder in the Ghost Wood Clan is not low.
No matter which one it is, Xuanmu Long doesn't want to offend, and he doesn't dare to offend at will, so as not to cause more trouble, what makes him uneasy is that these people seem to have made an appointment at the same time, and come to participate in the Xuankui Festival of the Xuanmu clan, if they come alone, he doesn't suspect anything, but these old guys are coming one after another.
Genki Long didn't believe that these old guys would come to participate in the 'Election Festival' for no reason, most of them for some purpose.
Plotting against the Xuanmu Clan?
Xuanmu Long immediately denied this idea, the Xuanmu clan was just a medium-sized tribe, and there were no rich minerals and elixirs around, and it was even more impossible, no matter which tribe there was, the amount of elixir produced far exceeded that of the Xuanmu clan.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in Genki Takashi's heart.
"Brother Qinglie, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your momentum has not diminished. Xuan Mu Long said with a slight compliment to Qing Lie on the side.
"Hehe! Patriarch Xuanmu has won the award. Qinglie smiled.
"Brother Qinglie can participate in our clan's biennial 'Election Festival', Xuanmu Long feels very honored, if Brother Qinglie fancies which girl, just bring it back. Genki Takashi knocked on the side. As the head of the clan, he naturally wouldn't ask directly, what is the purpose of you running together, this kind of questioning will definitely offend people.
"Qui girl?" Qing Lie shook his head and said lightly: "Forget it, I will be old in the next year, and I can't bring it back, so I can't bear it." ”
Genmu Long smiled, but his heart ruled out that these people did not come to choose the champion.
Among the major clans, it is not uncommon for the elders of the other Mu clan branches to participate in the 'selection festival' of other branches, and some elders even took away the qui girls on the spot.
The fact that a few people came to choose the winner can be eliminated, but Genmu Long's mood is not very good, a few old guys participate in the 'Election Festival' and do not choose the winner, what do they come to do for no reason?
"Patriarch Xuanmu, I heard that there is a half-step demon cultivator with good strength in your clan, and you are still sleeping really well, but you are hiding quite deeply. ”
Teng Zhan opened his mouth with a big grin, this person's voice was not small, not to mention the elders of the various clans on the first layer, even the spiritual priests on the second layer could hear it clearly, everyone looked at them with different colors, and Genmu Long was full of shock and puzzlement.
Cao Shan's brows furrowed slightly, he glanced at Xuanmu Long with a strange expression, and said slowly: "Xuanmu Patriarch, your Xuanmu Clan really has a half-step demon cultivator?" His words were filled with a trace of surprise and inexplicable strangeness.
"The two of them laughed, although the Xuanmu clan has some spiritual scholars, but for more than a hundred years, there has never been a half-step demon cultivator, if there is really a half-step demon cultivator, it will be a great fortune for my Xuanmu clan, how can I not invite all the elders to come and celebrate. Genmu Long shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Half-step demon cultivation!
There are not many of the major tribes, even if it is a big tribe like the Beast Wood Clan, I heard that there are only three half-step demon cultivators, although the rest of the tribes also have them, but at most there are one or two, and the existence of each half-step demon cultivator is a powerful help for the tribe to increase the strength of the tribe.
Seeing Genmu Takashi look like this. Cao Shan didn't continue to ask, the existence of a half-step demon cultivator, although it can't completely determine the rise of a tribe, but it has a lot of propulsion, if the Xuanmu clan really has a half-step demon cultivator, I'm afraid it would have made a move a long time ago, and it wouldn't have been immobile until now.
However, Fuji Zhan and the others were full of suspicion, and their eyes fell on the three young people on the side, who were also frowning and whispering with their heads down.
"Isn't he from the Xuanmu Clan? Deliberately hiding his clan?"
"There is a possibility, there are many dangers in the forbidden area, even the same clan may fight each other for interests, we have only known him for a few days, and it is not a strange thing for him to hide the location of his clan. ”
"Alas, this time it's a trip for nothing. ”
"Forget it, just come out for a walk, and when you meet him in the future, ask again. The three young men smiled apologetically at the elders beside them.
Qinglie shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more, but Fuji Zhan glared at the young man beside him and snorted coldly.
What the rest of the people are thinking, Genmu Long doesn't know, what he is thinking about is the sentence that Fuji Zhan said before, although Fuji Zhan has a big personality, but this person will never ask such a sentence without a head, just now he also noticed that except for the grass mountain, the rest of the people hurriedly exchanged glances.
Could it be that a half-step demon cultivator provoked them? Or a half-step demon cultivator in their clan reported the name of the Xuanmu clan to ward off disasters? This is not impossible, this kind of thing has happened before, thinking of this, Xuanmu Long's heart is much more relaxed.
Since these difficult guys don't have other plans, then other things are nothing to him.
"I don't know which tribe's half-step demon cultivator actually provoked the half-step demon cultivation masters of the three tribes, and also led to Fuji Zhan and others, who can alarm them, it shouldn't be those older people who have been rumored for a long time, it may be a young half-step demon cultivation master, this half-step demon cultivator's strength should be quite good, if it were our Xuanmu clan's......" Xuanmu Long sighed in his heart, although it was just an oolong incident, but it still made him sigh a lot.
The Xuanmu clan is because there is no half-step demon cultivator who can move freely in the forbidden area, so the clan exhibition is slow, and those tribes with half-step demon cultivation, which one is not a rapid exhibition?
Not to mention far, Fuji Zhan is the first half-step demon cultivator of the Fujiki clan, and it is precisely because of his existence that the Fujiki clan will become a large tribe from a medium-sized tribe.
If it can be exchanged for a half-step demon cultivator, Xuanmu Long will definitely exchange it at any cost, but unfortunately he can't exchange it.
"The 'Election Festival' has officially begun, and all the girls are invited to play......"
Knock Knock......
The animal skin drums rang out one after another at the moment when Elder Wuya's voice fell, and the sound of the giant drum with rhythm drove the emotions of the entire Tianshitai clansmen, and they shouted excitedly one by one.
Then!
The crowd to the south surged.
Under the guidance of an old woman, thirty well-dressed women followed in turn, these women wore animal skin masks on their faces, and their bodies were even more tightly dressed, and even their arms were not exposed.
"Uncovered. After standing still, the old woman shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Whew!
The qui girls took off the animal skin masks on their faces, revealing immature but quite elegant faces, many of them were good-looking, but there were also occasionally one or two ugly, the qui girls lined up in a row, standing in a frame that had already been painted with special animal bone powder.
"Start choosing......," Elder Five Teeth said aloud.
The clan members who had already prepared threw the budding flowers that had been prepared into the box where their favorite Kui girl stood.
"Mu Yue, 635 Iran flowers, was elected this year's Oiran. "The five-toothed elder who had counted the Oiran flowers announced the candidates for this time.
Named Mu Yue, the pretty woman was suddenly full of surprise, and her family was also excited when she stood in the audience, although there were some women who did not like the 'Qui Festival', but there were also many women who were willing to participate, and even expected to get the Oiran, becoming an Oiran means that they will be selected by the best spiritual people in the clan.
In this world where the strong are respected, becoming a woman who is a powerful person is also a way to improve her status, not only the status and identity of the burly woman will rise sharply, but even the family will follow the light, as for whether it is young or old, for most tribal women, it is no different.
At this moment, on the second floor of the Tianshi platform.
There have been a lot of spiritual priests, surprisingly, there are two female spiritual priests, one of them is passable-looking, the other is not only beautiful, but also exudes a ripe atmosphere, like a ripe peach, this woman has made many male spiritual priests have sideways eyes, and some can see that they are so godly that they even forgot to wipe the saliva on the corner of their mouth.
These two women are none other than Xia Luo and Bi Yuelan.
Xia Luo's face was excited, but Bi Yuelan had a cold expression, as if she didn't care about anything, and beside them sat four members of the Phoenix Hunting Squad, whose eyes kept scanning the various women on the stage.
"It's just an Oiran, and it's necessary to be happy like this? If it were a seventy or eighty-year-old clan elder who chose her in the end, I'm afraid she would have to cry. Xia Luo pursed her lips, and suddenly gently bumped Biyue Lan on her side with her elbow, "Sister Lan, the guy behind you has been staring at you, and he doesn't blink his eyes." ”
"Huh?"
Bi Yuelan turned her head sideways and glanced at the young man sitting on the stone platform on the first day.
Seeing the beauty coming, Hu Muhui nodded with a kind smile, and was about to say something, a touch of disgust flashed on the beauty's face, and he immediately turned back, which immediately made him a little embarrassed, his expression quickly returned to coldness, his eyes stared at the shadow behind him, his tongue licked his lips gently, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
