Bang!
Feng Ye flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "Kunyangzi! What did you say? Who do you think you are?"
“Of course I look down on you! Tell me yourself, in what way can you compare to Brother Xuanxiang?” Bian Xiong chimed in.
“Exactly, whether it’s your background, status, or even strength, in what way can you compare to Brother Xuanxiang?” Kunyangzi laughed disdainfully.
"You...you all..."
Feng Ye was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After all, the truth is the most hurtful thing...
Seeing his friend get the short end of the stick, Hua Du couldn't just sit idly by, so he gave a wink to the person behind him.
A chieftain from a small tribe that had descended from the Fengqiu tribe stood up and said loudly, "Chief Kunyangzi, you're wrong. We're choosing a Human Emperor now, based on who can lead the human race to grow and prosper. What does it have to do with status or background?"
Kunyangzi, seeing that he was a chieftain of a small tribe, smiled contemptuously, "Oh? And who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
"What? My clan may be small, but we are still members of the human race. Why can't I express my opinion on the position of Human Emperor?" the young clan leader retorted.
Upon hearing this, some of the other minor clan leaders also secretly felt a sense of dissatisfaction towards Kunyangzi.
Someone spoke up: "Indeed! If you think our tribe is too small, then let you, the chieftains, decide on the matter of the Human Emperor. Why summon us here to discuss it?"
Seeing that Kunyangzi seemed to have incurred the wrath of the crowd, Bian Xiong coughed to defuse the situation for him.
"Elder, Fellow Daoist Kunyangzi and I both recommend Brother Xuanxiang. What is your opinion?"
Upon hearing this, Chisongzi glanced at Hu Le and found that Hu Le was looking at him with a smile.
Previously, all the elders had agreed to and acknowledged Hu Le as the new Human Emperor, so he certainly wouldn't go back on his word.
So he spoke up, saying, "Of course, that's what I think too... I just don't know, now that Lord Xuanxiang is the Lord of the Heavenly Court, is he still willing to assume the role of Human Emperor?"
Those who knew the inside story were all disdainful when they heard Chisongzi say this.
They even installed it, as if everyone knew what happened in the ancestral temple before.
Haven't you elders and priests already paid homage to this new emperor?
But some things are better left unsaid; it's just being rude to say them out loud.
Hu Le stood up at this moment and laughed, "Hehe, I really don't know what you're discussing here?"
"ah……"
Everyone in the hall was surprised to hear this.
Even the Goddess Houtu and the Goddess Xuanming looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Hu Le continued, “...This human race was created by my ancestor, the Nine-Headed Clan, and he became the first Human Emperor.”
Later, the Patriarch passed this position to my master, Lady Jinde. Now that my master has passed away, who else can take the throne of the Human Emperor from me?
At this point, he turned to look at Hua Du and Feng Ye: "...Is it the two of you? You also want to covet the throne of the Human Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, all the clan leaders frowned. This Xuanxiang Daojun was far too domineering. Did he really think the throne of the Human Emperor was their private property?
Feng Ye was also feeling frustrated, but he had no interest in the throne of the Human Emperor. He had only stepped forward to help Hua Du, so he kept quiet and secretly glanced at Hua Du.
Huadu certainly couldn't show weakness.
Otherwise, if he backs down, the throne of the human emperor might really slip away from him.
"What? Am I not good enough? You can become the emperor, but I can't?" Hua Du shouted angrily.
Seeing this, the other clan leaders sitting in the hall secretly praised Hua Du for his courage...
"you……"
Hu Le sized Hua Du up and down for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You? You think you're worthy?"
Then, ignoring Hua Du's flushed face, he looked at Hou Tu Niangniang and Xuan Ming Niangniang.
To be honest, in the entire Emperor's Palace, these two are the only ones he can be somewhat wary of.
"Your Majesties, I intend to inherit the throne of the Human Emperor. Surely you will not object?"
Xuanming Niangniang's cold face grew even colder, but having already lost the previous battle, she had no face to compete with Hu Le any further, so she immediately fell silent.
Houtu Niangniang nodded slightly.
Since her good friend Xuanming couldn't become the Human Emperor, the only one left was indeed this Xuanxiang Daojun.
As for Huadu and Fengye?
hehe……
Although the two were tribal chiefs like her, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the little guy step forward, seemingly wanting to compete for the title of Human Emperor.
The Three Sovereigns' Dao Fruits were the exclusive property of these innate saints, so it was somewhat understandable that Hu Le, as one of the top saints, wanted to covet them.
What are Ke Huadu and Feng Ye compared to them?
These two aren't even innate saints!
Just as that junior Xuanxiang said, they don't even deserve it!
...
Everyone saw Houtu Niangniang nod.
Some people with ulterior motives immediately extinguished the last bit of ambition in their hearts.
The most powerful and qualified clan leaders among the human race, including the Goddess Houtu and the Goddess Xuanming.
It could even be said that when these two were clan leaders, most of the other clan leaders present probably hadn't even been born yet.
Therefore, the opinions of these two individuals are extremely important.
This is why Hu Le felt confident this time after returning from Houtu Palace.
After all, once he dealt with these two, he could easily suppress the remaining clan leaders who wanted to oppose him.
Seeing that the two empresses did not object, Hu Le did not ask anyone else. He flicked his palm, revealing a Kongtong Seal, held it in his hand, and stepped towards the throne of the Human Emperor.
"Since neither of you has any objections, then I will gladly accept the throne of the Human Emperor."
"Wait a minute...we haven't finished discussing this yet."
Hua Du became a little anxious, rushed forward, and reached out to grab Hu Le.
Hu Le suddenly turned his head, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes. He pushed the Kongtong Seal in front of Hua Du, and the power of the innate Great Dao surged into the Kongtong Seal.
In an instant, the Kongtong Seal shone brightly, and a misty aura rose. In the darkness, an incredibly powerful force burst forth from the Kongtong Seal and silently landed on Hua Du.
This power of the Great Dao is formless and intangible, yet incredibly heavy.
Hua Du felt as if the entire sky had collapsed and pressed down on him. His face turned red, his breathing stopped, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
To resist the oppressive force, Hua Du rapidly circulated his internal magic power, channeling all his strength into his legs.
Unfortunately, he had not yet fully condensed the five elements within his chest, so how could he withstand the crushing force of such a powerful Dao?
In addition, the Kongtong Seal itself has an unparalleled deterrent power over the human race.
With just a little stimulation using a secret technique, one can easily steal the human race's fortune from a person.
"thump!"
Under the pressure of that great power, Hua Du could only hold on for a few breaths before he could no longer bear it. His strength suddenly collapsed, his legs gave way, and he involuntarily knelt down...
