Seeing that all the officials were speaking up for Lin Caogen, even Bai Zhi had a strange feeling, as if Lin Caogen was the future leader of the Fox Clan! The person who should be going to the Dragon Clan as a hostage at this moment was his own younger brother, Bai Baipo!
"Grassroots! Since both civil and military officials are discussing this matter, I'd like to hear your opinion as well! You should decide for yourself! If you want to go, I won't stop you! If you don't want to go, I'm not afraid to go to war with the Dragon Clan!"
The blank sheet of paper uttered these words! The entire court of officials echoed them!
The crowd unleashed their full power, and an overwhelming fighting spirit surged from the imperial court!
Long Lin, accompanied by the Third Prince Long Ao Bing, was extremely embarrassed to see the court officials so agitated! The two of them were afraid that war would break out at this moment, so they simply left them there!
The fox clan is an extremely fierce race in the demon realm. Among the nine major races of the demon realm, the fox, dragon, and wolf clans are the strongest! If the fox clan continues to fight with the dragon clan, it is likely that other races will benefit from the conflict!
Prime Minister Bai Yunshan of the Fox Clan spoke up: "Third Prince, do not be afraid! As the last descendant of the late Emperor, you will be the future leader of the Fox Clan! I, Bai Yunshan, will swear to serve you to the death, and even if I die in battle, I will never let you fall into danger!"
Once Baiyun Mountain took the lead, everyone started to echo him! What they said was completely different from what Baiyun Mountain had said!
Lin Caogen was speechless! He never expected that the fox clan would directly recognize him as their young master because of his bloodline power!
In fact, the rule among demonic beasts relies on the pressure of bloodlines!
Whoever possesses the strongest bloodline power is the king! The struggle for power will only arise when the bloodline's pressure is equal!
Furthermore, Lin Cao is male! The imperial aura released by the Demon Emperor Bai Zhi after entering Lin Cao's body is amplified by a more powerful and masculine force, making it even more imposing than the bloodline power within Bai Zhi! This is innate, something even a female emperor like Bai Zhi could not possess! This is why the elders and ministers all demanded that Bai Zhi abdicate after Lin Cao cultivates to the Immortal Emperor realm!
For millions of years, the fox clan has been ruled by male emperors!
Unfortunately, the Fox Clan's former emperor had no male heir. His daughter, Bai Zhi, cultivated for 100,000 years and finally became a Demon Emperor. However, her younger brother, Bai Baipo, was only born two hundred years ago. His cultivation period was too short, and his cultivation level was only at the third level. Therefore, Bai Zhi could only temporarily take over the position of Demon Emperor in place of her younger brother, Bai Baipo!
Lin Caogen sighed.
He understood that by going to the Dragon Clan as a hostage, he would lose his freedom! His life or death would be entirely in the hands of fate!
But looking at the blank paper again, I felt that this beautiful woman had already sacrificed too much for the fox clan!
Half of her essence and blood were stored in every cell of her body. In addition, in order to inscribe the Heavenly Thunder and Purple Lightning True Technique into the nucleotide chain of her genes, she also damaged Bai Zhi's divine soul! It would take her seven or eight years to recover to her peak combat power!
If the Fox Clan and the Dragon Clan were to go to war right now, it would be most disadvantageous for Bai Zhi! Besides, the teleportation array had brought him to this Fox Clan's Thunder Pool, which could be considered a stroke of luck! In any case, he had to help this beautiful woman in front of him!
Thinking of this, Lin Caogen said decisively, "As a prince, Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon Clan, is willing to risk his life to come to my Fox Clan. His courage is truly admirable! If the third prince of the Dragon Clan does not die in the future, he will surely become a great hero!"
After saying this, Lin Caogen looked at Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the Dragon Clan! He saw that this man's gaze was like lightning, extremely subtle! His whole body exuded an aura of a superior!
Dragon Prince Ao Bing chuckled and looked at Lin Caogen, saying, "Your aura is quite strong! It's just a pity that your cultivation is too weak! If you rashly enter my dragon clan, I'm afraid you'll be tortured to death by some tyrannical dragons!"
The Third Prince of the Dragon Clan, Ao Bing, is already 50,000 years old! His cultivation level is 5-star Demon Saint! The reason he dared to come to the Fox Clan as a hostage is because of his powerful cultivation!
With his combat prowess, as long as Bai Zhi doesn't intervene, the other fox clan demon saints will find it difficult to subdue him! As the saying goes, skill breeds daring; without the combat strength of a 5th-level Immortal Saint, Ao Bing wouldn't have dared to come to the fox clan as a hostage. Now that he's here, he's actually established prestige within the dragon clan!
Lin Caogen said, "Although my cultivation is only at the second tier, 7 stars, I still know that everyone has a responsibility to protect the nation! Moreover, I have the blood of the Great Emperor flowing through my veins! Protecting the Fox Clan is my duty."
Upon hearing this, the old Prime Minister Baiyunshan was greatly impressed!
"Excellent! What a great saying, 'Every man has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation'! The Third Prince exudes the aura of an emperor in every gesture and movement, and his speech and manners are elegant and refined, demonstrating a lofty vision. Which minister wouldn't admire such a prince?"
When the courtiers heard Baiyunshan say this, they couldn't help but echo his sentiments!
Lin Caogen was speechless! He continued, "The two clans have been at war for a long time! Although the Third Prince has profound cultivation, he is all alone in the Fox Clan! If the Fox Clan unites as one, even without my sister's intervention, the Third Prince will have a hard time returning alive! Although my cultivation is low, with the Third Prince as a hostage in the Fox Clan, what do I have to fear when I go to the Dragon Clan!"
These words struck a nerve with Ao Bing!
After all, no matter how high his cultivation level was, he was only a fifth-level demon saint! If the ten demon saints of the fox clan attacked together, they could beat him to death in no time!
Lin Caogen's words completely extinguished Ao Bing's arrogant arrogance!
Lin Caogen continued, "The people of the world have just suffered greatly from the ravages of war! Although my cultivation is weak, I am willing to protect the safety of the people and exchange my life for peace! This exchange of hostages, where I, with my second-tier, seventh-star cultivation, can exchange for a crown prince like Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon Clan, to come to the Fox Clan! It's a huge win for the Fox Clan! Such a great deal! Of course I'll do it! I'm definitely going to the Dragon Clan! I'm just afraid that you, the third prince, will change your mind now!"
Lin Caogen's words struck Ao Bing's heart once again!
He's right! Lin Cao is only a second-tier 7-star cultivator. Putting aside his identity, he's just a nobody in terms of strength! Trading him for the future crown prince of the dragon clan, especially when your own cultivation is only 5-star Immortal Saint, seems like a bad deal!
