After he said this, Yaoyao looked at me, but her eyes were a little evasive.
Perhaps she has realized that this is a big deal, and that it is likely to cause me trouble.
She looked at me and whispered, "Brother Zhou, this matter ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, I waved her hand to interrupt her.
I didn't rush back to her, but turned my head to look at the sacrificial evil spirit and asked what he meant.
The priest had been silent after listening to the high priest's story.
However, when the High Priest mentioned that the Fox King was waiting for them there, his face showed some relief.
When he heard my inquiry, he didn't answer, but just nodded slightly.
As the only remaining demon clan today, the Qingqiu clan is more qualified than me to deal with this matter as a sacrifice to evil spirits.
And to solve this matter, in terms of strength, I also need the support of the sacrificial evil spirit, so I still have to ask his opinion before deciding.
With his consent, I didn't hesitate anymore and said to Qingqiu, "Since Yaoyao has agreed to this, then I have nothing to say."
But I have one request, I will take a demon pill after the deed is completed. ” At this time, when I talked about the demon pill, there was some coercion in it, but there was no way, the fat man couldn't delay, after finishing speaking, I glanced at Yaoyao slightly apologetically, hoping she could understand.
The high priest naturally knew what the demon pill was, and when he heard me make this request, his eyes were obviously fixed, and he did not answer in a hurry, and after pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "This matter is related to the plan of my demon clan, the demon pill is nothing, as long as the divine envoy can let the holy woman smoothly lead my Qingqiu clan, it is to take my demon pill, and the old man has no complaints." ” After hearing this, I relieved myself, nodded, and asked him to stand up and speak.
Since this matter should be resolved, I need to understand the specific situation in the Qingqiu clan at this time, and if it can be resolved through negotiation without bloodshed, it will naturally be the best.
There are sacrificial evil spirits, although I am not worried about what happened at the beginning, but after all, the Qingqiu clan is a demon clan, and I am not willing to take the means of losing both sides unless it is absolutely necessary.
I believe that the same is true for sacrificing evil spirits and Yaoyao.
I spoke my thoughts, and the high priest listened to me and nodded his head in agreement.
Then he gave me a detailed picture of the current situation.
The Qingqiu Patriarch has reigned for hundreds of years, and her status in the Qingqiu Clan is not inferior to that of the High Priest at all, and over the years, she has also developed her own power, among which there are more than a dozen clansmen who have cultivated in the Heavenly Master realm.
It's just the realm of the seal heavenly master, don't talk about sacrificing evil spirits, even I don't pay much attention to it.
But what makes me strange is that as far as I know, the Qingqiu clan itself has a limited bloodline, and it is very difficult to cultivate to the Heavenly Master realm.
In this huge Qingqiu country, there are only twenty or thirty people who have cultivated above the Heavenly Master realm, including Yang God Heavenly Masters like Yaoyao, the Patriarch, and the High Priest.
Among the patriarch's forces, since there are more than a dozen Seal Heavenly Masters, this means that she has the vast majority of the power in the clan.
Moreover, she has been in charge of the Qingqiu clan for hundreds of years, and even the high priest said that her prestige is not below him at all, and among the ordinary clansmen, there should be the vast majority of people who support the patriarch.
I can't help but wonder why the Qingqiu Patriarch didn't take action and used strong measures to completely suppress this matter earlier, which has caused the current stalemate between the two sides.
Hearing my questioning, the High Priest explained, "Of course she has the ability to do this, but as the head of the family, she also has to think about the impact in her actions.
Now we are only arguing in secret, and there is not a complete showdown.
Once she takes the lead, she will take care of the loss.
Besides, as a high priest, I have the absolute right to speak on the matter of sacrificing to the fox king.
As long as I don't nod, she is not qualified to take the saint as a sacrifice at all. ” Hearing him say this, I nodded, and I kind of understood.
In the current situation, it seems that it is not possible to make this matter public directly.
So I asked the high priest what he was going to do.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Originally, none of us could convince each other of this matter, but the gods made you represent the will of the fox king, and now that you are here, maybe the patriarch will change his mind, so why don't we take this opportunity to make our words clear and ask for her opinion."
Wait for her to reply, and then make a decision, what do you think?
” Naturally, I had no problem, nodded and agreed, and then went out with the high priest and went to the Fox King's Palace to find the Qingqiu patriarch.
Along the way, the high priest walked much brisker than before, and he thought that he was also much lighter when he saw the hope of solving the problem at this time.
He has an optimistic attitude, but I don't think so, the high priest serves the fox king wholeheartedly, and attaches great importance to my so-called divine envoy identity, but the Qingqiu patriarch may not, and he is only in the fox king's palace, and the Qingqiu patriarch's attitude towards me is not the slightest respect, and it is not realistic to expect her to suddenly change her mind.
In the middle of the words, we arrived outside the Fox King's palace, but at this time a servant girl stopped us, saying that the patriarch was discussing important matters with the elders inside, and specially explained that no one else would be allowed to enter.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer, as the three of us, we can enter and leave the Fox King's Palace freely.
This kind of thing happened at this time, presumably the Qingqiu patriarch specially explained.
The High Priest was not as optimistic as before, his face was full of anger, and he was about to attack, but I stretched out his hand to stop him.
Since I came here this time to discuss, I will have a discussion attitude, and besides, no matter what the final choice of this Qingqiu patriarch is, I am sure that I can solve this matter, but I am not in a hurry.
We waited in place for a full five minutes before the palace gate slowly opened, and five or six old men in plain robes came out of it.
Seeing the three of us, these elders also looked a little embarrassed, arched their hands at us, and left in turn without speaking.
At this time, the maidservant girl from earlier stepped forward, bowed to us, and said, "The patriarch has a please." ” I walked into the main hall first, at this time the Qingqiu patriarch was sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of tea in her hand, seeing us come in, she slowly put down the teacup and said with an expressionless face, "Please take a seat." ” After speaking, she no longer cared about us, but continued to bow her head and taste tea, without opening her mouth to say hello.

Although I had expected it in my heart, I didn't expect her attitude at this time to be even worse than just now, which made me can't help but feel a little angry.
But now is not the time to tear my face, I was about to take the initiative to speak, when the Qingqiu patriarch finally stopped tasting tea, opened his mouth indifferently, and asked why we came.
At the same time of inquiry, there was a slight banter in her eyes, as if she was completely fearless, and I don't know if she had just found a way to deal with us when she discussed with the elders.
Seeing her expression, I didn't have much hope in the first place, and at this time, I felt that the negotiation was meaningless.
The high priest also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and after a moment of silence, he stood up with a solemn face and replied, "We have come this time to discuss with the patriarch the choice of the next patriarch. ” As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly clarified the matter, and the Qingqiu Patriarch was not angry when he heard this, but the banter on his face became more and more intense, and he responded slowly, "How does the High Priest say this, the position of this patriarch has not changed for hundreds of years, of course, I will continue to lead the Qingqiu Clan."
Could it be that there are other candidates for the high priest?
” After finishing speaking, there was finally a bit of cold light in her eyes.
The high priest was not afraid at all, and stared up at her and said, "The Qingqiu clan has long had a family rule, and the position of the patriarch changes once in a hundred years, and this is the time for a hundred years to change!"
” The Qingqiu Patriarch snorted lightly, "You are still the great priest of our clan, don't you know that only those who have cultivated as a Yang God Heavenly Master can serve as the patriarch?"
Looking at the entire Qingqiu clan, there are only two people in the Yang God Heavenly Master cultivators, you and me, your position as high priest has always been passed down by blood, and you cannot also serve as the patriarch.
So, who else can hold the position of patriarch but me?
” When the high priest heard her words, he immediately retorted, "Yaoyao is the holy daughter of my Qingqiu country, she has already cultivated as a yang god at this time, and she has the true blood of the fox king in her body, and she has been recognized by the fox king, she is the person sent by the fox king to save my Qingqiu clan, and she is qualified to serve as the patriarch!"
” Seeing that the high priest pushed Yaoyao out, he even emphasized the true blood of the fox king.
The Qingqiu patriarch snorted coldly again, "Presumptuous!
You still dare to mention the Fox King!
As the high priest of our clan, you don't worship the fox king well, but you do everything you can to maintain the sacrifice.
Don't you know that since the Tu Shan clan betrayed our clan, to our Qingqiu country, they are just sacrifices, and they are not clansmen at all?
Or do you also want to learn from the Tu Shan clan and betray the Qingqiu clan?
” Unexpectedly, this Qingqiu patriarch was so sharp-tongued, and he put a traitor's hat on the high priest with his backhand, and simply defined the Tu Shan clan as a sacrifice, and did not recognize their Qingqiu clan identity at all.
The high priest's body trembled slightly, obviously angry by her words, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't spew blood!"
The ancestors had already stipulated that after the descendants of the Tu Shan clan exceeded the realm of the Heavenly Master, they would automatically be recognized by the Qingqiu clan.
When Yaoyao advanced to the Heavenly Master, you were also present to witness it with your own eyes!
She is now not only a member of the Qingqiu tribe, but also a true saint of the Qingqiu country. ” The fox demon patriarch sneered at this time, and said in a mocking tone, "Oh?
Which generation of ancestors is this?
Where is it written?
How come I've never heard of it?
” Hearing this, I reacted instantly, no wonder the Qingqiu patriarch was so confident, it turned out that he had been prepared for a long time and wanted to talk about the clan rules.
The high priest was stunned at the moment, and was stunned for a moment before he said angrily, "My Qingqiu clan rules have always been passed down orally from generation to generation, how dare you deny the clan rules?"
” Obviously, the Qingqiu patriarch insisted that there was no such thing in the clan rules, but the high priest had no way.
In fact, there is no need to argue about this matter at all, the last time Yaoyao advanced to the Heavenly Master, the people of the Qingqiu clan talked about this family rule, but they didn't see the Qingqiu patriarch objecting, and at this time, it was naturally deliberate.
But the crux of the matter is that the rules of the Qingqiu clan have been passed down orally from generation to generation, and it is difficult to argue whether they are right or wrong when the Qingqiu patriarch denies them.
Sure enough, the Qingqiu Patriarch continued to sneer, "My Qingqiu clan rules are indeed passed down by word of mouth, but you are not the only one who sacrifices by word of mouth, why have other clansmen, including me, never heard of this clan rule except for you?"
” The high priest was speechless, apparently aware of the patriarch's tricks, and his face turned a little pale.
After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke again, but this time he didn't bother with the clan rules, but emphasized the true blood of the Fox King in Yaoyao's body, saying that she was the one who was chosen by the Fox King to lead the Qingqiu Clan back to the top.
The patriarch obviously also saw that the high priest had run out of words at this time, and became more and more justified, and shouted, "Presumptuous!
How do you know that she is the chosen one of the fox kings?
The Fox King gave her true blood, why couldn't it be for her to speed up her cultivation and absorb more powerful energy?
Who can prove the authenticity of it?
” At this point, I had to admire the eloquence of the patriarch, and in a matter of moments, she turned the situation completely upside down, so that the high priest was speechless, and could not refute it at all.
If this continues, I will let the sacrificial evil spirits use force to suppress it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people.
It's just that she is a little premature, and right and wrong are not so easy to confuse after all.
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, I stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and whispered to the Qingqiu Patriarch, "I can prove it." ”
