Chapter 160 Competition
It has always been the high priest who decides the candidate for the city lord, but this time it was the new city lord who decided the candidate for the high priest. Anger appeared on Maya's beautiful face.
"Don't waste time, let's get started."
Xuan Ji is full of confidence.
Shu Huan had always believed that the priestess was a beautiful girl with powerful supernatural powers chosen by the Beast God, but after seeing the duel between Maya and Xuan Ji, he realized that he was extremely wrong.
The first duel between Maya and Xuan Ji was divination, with Wu Zhuo setting the questions.
Wu Zhuo had a stern face and a serious expression, and his pair of vertical pupils swept coldly across the entire audience. He showed the majesty of a superior who looked down on everything to the fullest, which made Shu Huan want to laugh.
Wu Zhuo appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very worried inside. What was he fortune-telling about? Fortune-telling about such trivial matters as family matters was not in keeping with his status as the city lord. Fortune-telling about the rise and fall of the beast world was none of his business. Besides, with Maya and Xuan Ji's abilities, could they predict anything?
Hey, got it!
Wu Zhuo stood with his hands behind his back, and his voice was like the morning bell and evening drum, low and penetrating.
"Please divine the truth behind my expulsion."
Wu Zhuo's proposal not only preserved his status but also cleared his grievances. Not only the four beastly husbands but also Shu Huan thought it was a good idea.
Maya closed her eyes slightly, raised her hands and muttered something, as if she was trying to establish some connection with the past.
Xuan Ji tied a bell around her waist, held a drum in one hand and a hammer in the other, and sang and danced around the campfire. The dull drum sounds and the thunder in the sky sounded together, as if they had angered the spied-on Heaven and might bring down divine punishment at any time.
Suddenly, the five beastly husbands surrounded Shu Huan and looked around vigilantly.
Da Xishuang spread his wings and surrounded Shu Huan from the back, preventing the strong wind from blowing on Shu Huan.
The Qinglong behind his head yawned casually, and the wind stopped and the clouds remained within a two-meter radius, and the flying sand and rocks all swirled around the periphery.
Maya and Xuan Ji struggled for about ten minutes before Maya spoke first.
"Wu Zhuo was wrongly accused. It was his mother who wanted Wu Zhuo's elder sister to succeed him and framed Wu Zhuo for expelling him."
Xuan Ji stopped singing and dancing, "Maya is right, but the idea of framing Wu Zhuo was proposed by Wu Zhuo's sister, not Wu Zhuo's mother."
Maya clicked her tongue, "They are both mother and daughter in cahoots, so what difference does it make who came up with the idea?"
Xuan Ji retorted, "We are fortune-telling. Fortune-telling is about telling the truth. How can we mix our own thoughts into it?"
Wu Zhuo waved his hand to call a halt, "This round is a draw, let's start the next one."
The second match was a competition of communication with the gods, that is, it would depend on how much divine power Lord Beast God would give to his spokesperson.
This time Maya let Hyun Ji go first.
Xuan Ji chanted a spell, and the animals and plants in the entire beast world grew wildly. Even the main city was covered with wild fruits. Wild beasts were running around everywhere, and the orcs could easily get food to fill their stomachs. They could catch wild beasts and eat their meat with just a grab.
Maya sneered and waved her hand, and everything in the beast world returned to normal.
"Xuan Ji, you must know that disrupting the normal order is against the Lord Beast God."
Xuan Ji was unconvinced and angrily retorted.
"What's wrong with ensuring that all orcs have enough to eat? Doesn't Lord Beast God want his children to live a prosperous and worry-free life? You are simply talking nonsense."
Maya was neither angry nor upset. "Lord Beast God never talks about mercy. Survival of the fittest is the right path. Abundance is the beginning of disaster. Getting something for nothing is the apocalypse of chaos. Xuan Ji, you take it for granted and have not yet seen the true nature of this world."
Xuan Ji retorted unconvincedly, "Gods do not share the world, so I am the one who speaks for them, and I just want to love all living beings, what's wrong with that?"
Maya sneered, "Since you love all living things, why do you let wild beasts run around for the orcs to enjoy? Aren't wild beasts living beings?"
Xuan Ji opened her mouth but had no way to refute Maya.
Referee Wu Zhuo said, "The second round is a tie."
Maya exploded, "Why? Did I say something wrong?"
Wu Zhuo, "You are right, but if even the spokesperson of God has no love, then the cruel world will lose its last warmth. So, maybe Xuan Ji is naive, but it is her persistence that gives people hope to live."
In other words, Maya and Xuan Ji's ideas were both correct, and the Lord Beast God also allowed their existence, so the ruling of a draw was indeed fair.
Wu Zhuo announced, "The third round, a duel."
Orc gladiatorial combat basically relies on force and supernatural powers, while the high priest fights with magical powers.
Maya transformed into Wu Lie and walked towards Xuan Ji. Xuan Ji became angry and transformed into Yao Jia to greet him.
The two of them turned into something silky smooth, which made the person involved look upset.
Maya's true colors were exposed by Xuan Ji, and she grabbed Xuan Ji and threw her out.
Xuan Ji spun in the air, and wherever she passed, she conjured up the past, when Maya wreaked havoc everywhere in the Blood River Plains, causing the orcs to leave their homes, but blamed all the disaster on Xuan Ji. Xuan Ji went from being a high priest to a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.
Maya does not feel guilty, because the beast world allows all means of the strong, no matter it is an open knife or a hidden gun, as long as you are defeated it means you are incompetent.
The truth that Xuan Ji was assassinated by Maya did not arouse the resentment of the orcs. Instead, they all cheered for her. As the victim, Xuan Ji almost got her nose crooked with anger.
Maya also released a piece of past events, which was about Xuan Ji's recent tragic situation of being driven out and splashed with feces in the main city.
Xuan Ji went crazy and chanted a spell to invite Yaksha to kill Maya.
All the orcs had never seen the strange-looking Yaksha before, and they all discussed the origin of the Yaksha.
Seeing Yasha, Maya's pupils trembled, "You can actually summon Sea Yasha."
People don’t know what sea beasts are, but they just think they are very powerful.
Hyun-ji nosed Maya in the face, "What, you can't do it?"
Maya lowered her head, and no one could see the expression on her face.
Since Maya voluntarily gave up the counterattack, Wu Zhuo announced, "In the third round, Xuan Ji wins."
Xuan Ji took Yaksha and stood in the air above the main city.
"My children, from today on, my love will give you the final blessing."
A large number of the orcs watching still supported Maya in their hearts, and only a small number of orcs cheered for Xuan Ji.
Shu Huan watched the two high priests fighting each other while flipping through the copied "Beast World Code".
I have to say that the space is really powerful. Shu Huan threw the "Beast World Code" that Han Qingzi had pawned to her into the space and issued a book copying instruction. The space then copied six copies for her. Even if one was accidentally lost, there were still five, which gave Shu Huan a full sense of security.
Hearing Wu Zhuo announce Xuan Ji's victory, Shu Huan yawned in boredom, closed the book and ordered to return to the castle.
The four beastly husbands were also not interested in watching, especially the two females who were exposing each other's shortcomings. They were so petty. Their generous wives were the best. The four beastly husbands looked at Shu Huan with increasingly gentle eyes.
Back at the castle, Yaojia jumped onto Xiaotiantian's back, picked up Shu Huan and went back to the bedroom, followed by the other three beastly husbands.
Yaojia put the already asleep Shu Huan on the bed and covered him with animal skin. Silent sparks flew between the four beastmen.
"Let's have a competition. Whoever wins gets to sleep with the wife."
Before he finished speaking, four figures jumped out of the window and rushed out of the city.
