Chapter 212
After a day of rest, Ye Lan was invited by the black snake to the center of the snake cave to watch the ceremony of the new king's succession.
"Your Excellency, grandpa said that it is all thanks to you that our Black Snake clan can have a new king this time, so grandpa specifically instructed that you must attend and watch." The black snake said to Ye Lan in a lively tone.
Ye Lan looked at the snake cave full of joy and was deeply moved.
He asked curiously, "Who will be chosen as the new king?"
As soon as he said this, the black snake leading the way in front of him scratched the back of his head unconsciously with his hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa said that the new king should let me be the new king, but I am still young and don't want to be the new king."
Ye Lan was not surprised by this. After all, the black snake was a relative of the snake clan leader, and the new king would definitely be selected from relatives first.
So, Ye Lan spoke again: "There's nothing wrong with being the new king. As king, you have to take on the task of reviving the Black Snake Clan. At the same time, you will get priority in getting what you want in the future. Isn't that good?"
The black snake listened to what Ye Lan said with its head lowered.
He said somewhat dejectedly, "I don't want to take on any responsibilities. I just want to live happily. I don't have the same lofty ideals as my grandfather. I still want to go out and explore the world with the Venerable... If I become a king, I won't be able to go out as I please."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the place where the inheritance ceremony was to be held.
The black snake looked at Ye Lan dejectedly and walked away.
When the snake tribe leader saw Ye Lan coming, he walked quickly and nimbly to Ye Lan with his crutches.
"Venerable, you are here. Come quickly, please come this way."
As he spoke, he took Ye Lan to the high position in front.
Ye Lan looked at the location pointed by the Snake Clan leader and waved his hand: "This... I'm afraid it's not a good idea for me to sit here."
This seat is obviously the main seat, and it is inappropriate for him, an outsider, to sit here.
The snake tribe leader didn't expect Ye Lan to say this. He pushed Ye Lan onto the chair and said with a smile, "You are a venerable one. If not here, where else can you sit? Don't worry, no snake will dare to question you."
Since the clan leader said so, Ye Lan did not refuse anymore.
He stared at the snakes and sat in the main seat.
Looking up and down, I saw a sea of black snakes filling the entire snake cave.
Looking at these black snakes transformed into human form, Ye Lan felt his scalp tingling.
All the snakes looked at him with inquiring and questioning eyes. Just when the snakes below were still whispering about something, the snake chief came to the center of the inheritance ceremony with a crutch.
His appearance instantly made all the snakes present shut up.
It seems that many people are afraid of him.
The snake chief raised the crutch in his hand, and instantly, an inconspicuous bead on his crutch burst out with a ray of light, heading straight for a stone above his head.
The stone was hit by the light and made a trembling sound.
Seeing this, the snake chief threw the black scales in his palm upwards.
The black scales seemed to be attracted by something, floating in the air and emitting bursts of black light.
"Aning, come here and stand down here." The snake tribe leader suddenly spoke.
Aning, who was named, had to obey his grandfather's order unwillingly and stood under the black scales.
Seeing his grandson standing obediently, the snake tribe leader raised the crutch in his hand again and called out loudly.
"King of the Black Snake Clan, please send down your divine light and allow Aning below to become the new king. He will replace you and lead our Black Snake Clan to restore glory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black scales circling in the air continued to spin.
Suddenly, the black scales in the air suddenly disintegrated and turned into a long black rope that continued to spread downwards, directly rolling up Aning who was standing below.
Aning roared in pain, as if he was suffering from unspeakable pain.
The snakes and Ye Lan below heard crackling sounds coming from his body, as if all the joints in his body were broken and reconnected.
Ye Lan was shocked when he saw this scene.
He didn't expect that this inheritance would be such a painful thing.
Aning wailed for a long time until the black rope on his body became transparent, and his wailing slowly stopped.
His body slowly fell down, and when he looked up again, his demeanor and appearance had changed drastically.
Ye Lan clearly felt that the thin Aning had grown noticeably bigger and taller.
The other snakes present felt the pressure of the king and knelt down uncontrollably towards Aning.
Raise your hands above your head and the snakes call out.
"Welcome the new king!"
Aning didn't show much expression at this time. He looked blankly at his fellow tribesmen who were kneeling down to him.
The Snake Clan leader also knelt down in front of Aning at this time: "With the blessing of our ancestors, the new king will surely lead our clan to regain its glory! Since our ancestors have gone to the upper realm, we, the Black Snake Clan, will surely follow in their footsteps and go to the upper realm together!"
Aning's eyes finally moved. He looked at his grandfather, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something but said nothing.
He knew that when he inherited the throne, all of his ancestor's memories were instilled into his mind one by one.
He knew how glorious their Black Snake clan had been in the past.
That's why his grandfather had always wanted to revive their Black Snake Clan. His eyes fell on Ye Lan who was sitting in the main seat. He still remembered what he had said to him before.
How much he wanted to go out with him and see the world outside...
However, the responsibility on his shoulders told him that he was no longer a child who knew nothing, but the king of the black snake clan.
Don't do things without considering the consequences...
Aning turned and walked towards the main seat. He stopped beside Ye Lan, looking coldly at the snakes crawling below.
"Okay, everyone get up."
"Since I have inherited the memories of my ancestors and have their permission, from today on, I will be your king. Our Black Snake Clan will surely be able to regain its glory!"
Hearing this, Ye Lan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Aning beside him.
Everything has changed, and yet nothing has changed. The snake is still the same snake.
Ye Lan looked at the snakes calling out from below, not knowing when he would return.
His mind was a little confused, and he understood what Aning's change meant.
responsibility.
These two simple words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
He sat on the bed, and Leng Qingqiu's image appeared in his mind again.
I don’t know how they are doing now.
The other side.
After several days of seclusion, Leng Qingqiu's mind gradually became calm.
His cultivation level no longer fluctuated, and Leng Qingqiu then walked out of the secret room.
As soon as the door of the secret room opened, Han Dun ran over in a hurry, grabbed his arm and asked, "Senior Brother Leng, where is Senior Brother Ye?"
