Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 31 Six Major Forces

Ming Luo was getting a headache from the noise of these elders. She just wanted to know when this market-like council of elders from the six major forces in the Suma Continent would end.

Perhaps the noise was too loud, and the already injured Mu Li woke up with a frown on his face. He glanced at everyone present and weakly warned them, "Ye Zhihan... formed a team without permission..."

Ming Luo's eye twitched. This cannon fodder named Miao Li was too hostile to Ye Zhihan. He exhausted all his energy in the selection competition to tie him up. Now he was unconscious, but when he heard Ye Zhihan's name, he jumped up and exposed him for forming a team without permission.

However, if we really talk about teaming up, it is obvious that Myuri and Eima Satoshi are more excessive!

As soon as Mu Li said this, the debate in the hall became more intense. Almost all the elders opposed Ye Zhihan's election as the cross-border person. All kinds of dirty and derogatory words came out one after another, which made Ming Luo feel overwhelmed.

Because of his severe injuries, Ye Zhihan leaned weakly in the chair without even glancing at Mu Li. He listened with a cold expression as these sanctimonious elders talked about him in person, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

However, Ye Zhihan had already silently memorized what these people said in his heart. These words will become a reference for his future actions.

Ming Luo could only sulk from a God's perspective in the shadow space, and could only rub his forehead while listening to this group of people openly talking about Ye Zhihan.

"Silence—" Elder Suma spoke, and everyone present snapped to attention as if struck by a golden bell. They all stared at Elder Suma, speechless. Some even thought to themselves, Elder Suma was truly the most powerful cultivator on the continent, able to silence everyone with a single word.

"Ye Zhihan, with his excellent martial arts skills and good character, was chosen as the one to cross the border. Miao Li and Hui Jianzhi violated the rules by forming a team, and their competition results are invalidated." Elder Suma's voice was natural and seemed to have a kind of magic.

He casually summoned a screen of the scene that replayed in space, showing the six elders what happened on the floating island. They saw that Mu Li and Hui Jianzhi were indeed riding on the copper ball together, and were discussing with fierce expressions how to deal with Ye Zhihan. They even joined hands to defeat the young master of the Ling family dragon clan.

After watching the replay, the elders looked at each other in silence for a moment. The Ling family of the Dragon Clan restrained their anger and did not vent it, but just kept this account in mind.

After hearing this decision, Ye Zhihan finally revealed a fleeting smile on his cold face, and his admiration for Elder Suma grew even more.

After saying that, Elder Suma turned around with a domineering flick of his sleeves, and blinked at Mingluo who was hiding in the Shadow Pool where the elders couldn't see.

It was obvious that the Elder Suma who announced the results of the competition in front of the elders and the Elder Suma who winked mischievously on the floating island were two completely different people.

He really has two faces? Mingluo, hiding in the shadow space, felt that this old man was a little cute.

Now that everything has been settled, Elder Suma took Ye Zhihan away in a leisurely manner, without giving any face to those self-important elders.

Ming Luo later learned that Elder Suma was not actually the ruler of the Suma Continent. He was like a fair and selfless hermit who only made high-profile appearances on certain occasions, such as the selection of cross-border travelers that affected the balance between the two worlds.

Elder Suma ignored all other matters on the continent. He just watched the wars and conflicts and never stopped them.

No one knows how many years Elder Suma has been practicing, and no one knows where he came from. Everyone only knows that this noble and aloof hermit is elusive and never bows to any force.

In the past, if there were young people who were brave enough to challenge the authority of Elder Suma, they would be slapped away by Elder Suma with one palm, and they would fly directly into the sky and turn into little stars.

Because Elder Suma is too mysterious and too powerful, there is a saying on the Suma continent that he is an immortal who was born at the same time as the continent. People respectfully call him Elder Suma and regard him as the strongest man in the world.

As for the Six Great Elders, although they seemed to be inferior to the Suma Elders, they were already the most powerful people in the entire Suma Continent. The Six Great Elders came from the six major forces of the Suma Continent. Whenever there was a major event, they would discuss and vote with each other, a bit like a parliament in human society.

In addition to the Hui family, which obtained a seat in the parliament by virtue of its super strong control over talismans, the other five major forces are classified according to race, including the dragon clan, the demon clan, the beast clan, the spirit clan and the demon clan. They all have a long history and naturally occupy an important position in the parliament.

However, because the distinctions between demons, beasts, and spirits are far less distinct than they were in ancient times, they are often collectively referred to as "demons." Demons are often cultivated by absorbing spiritual energy from certain objects, such as the demons in paintings; beasts are often cultivated by awakening the spiritual intelligence of wild animals, such as fox demons; and spirits are often cultivated from plants, such as the paulownia tree demon.

Fat Peach is quite special in biological classification, being between the beastmen and the elves.

After a long period of trials and tribulations, the six major factions no longer share the peaceful friendship of the past. Several of them harbor their own agendas, each with its own desire to expand their clans. This time, they sent people to participate in the Crossing World Selection Competition, hoping to seize the right to travel through the human world.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This principle applies to any living thing.

Now that Elder Suma had chosen Ye Zhihan as the one to cross the border, the six elders were naturally furious but could not speak out. However, this did not prevent some from making small moves. Some of them had already begun to imagine what would happen after Elder Suma left. Elder Suma did not care about worldly matters. Once he left, wouldn't Ye Zhihan suffer a heavy loss at their hands?
