The first ancestor, the second ancestor, and the third ancestor, like children who had done something wrong, all lowered their heads, feeling ashamed.
Seeing this scene, Wutan was quite surprised. It seemed that this person was the real leader of the Sea Spirit Clan.
Moreover, this person should have been practicing or gaining experience somewhere else all year round, so we didn't meet him when we robbed the treasure house.
"Alas, I didn't expect that the Sea Spirit Clan has fallen to the point where they are bullied by a green-haired boy and dare not fight back. It's really sad!" The old man in white looked at the clansmen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, his expression filled with inextricable sadness.
The Great Ancestor knelt on the ground hurriedly and said, "Old Ancestor, it is us who are incompetent. Please punish us."
"You are indeed incompetent, but from today on, I will personally lead the Sea Spirit Tribe. I want to see who dares to bully my people!"
After the old man in white finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at Wutan and the other man. His eyes, which were full of vicissitudes of life, flashed with piercing sharpness.
"Welcome Hai Ling Patriarch!"
Dazu and others bowed down one after another.
The members of the Sea Spirit Tribe outside the square were also worshipping with great excitement and expressions of great respect.
The old man in white smiled coldly, looked at Wu Tian and said, "You want Nie Qiuyu to be the leader of the Hailing tribe, but I just don't agree with your wish. Now I declare that Nie Yuzhan will be the next leader."
Nie Yuzhan was overjoyed and bowed hurriedly, "Thank you, ancestor. Yuzhan will definitely live up to your trust."
Looking at Nie Qiuyu again, her expression was as calm as usual, and she didn't seem to care much about the position of clan leader, but if you look closely, you can find a hint of loss between her brows.
"call!"
Wu Tian took a deep breath, glanced at the excited crowd around him, and finally fixed his gaze on Hai Ling Patriarch. He said calmly: "Don't take yourself too seriously, cripple him."
“Swish!”
As soon as the words came out, the little guy suddenly disappeared!
The old Hai Ling, who was so proud and arrogant just a moment ago, immediately held his lower abdomen and screamed in pain!
The little guy returned to Wutan's shoulder again.
"what happened?"
The sudden scene made everyone present extremely confused.
Why did Ancestor Hai Ling suddenly start screaming out of nowhere
No, he was holding his lower abdomen and blood was flowing out of it. Could it be that... his Qi Sea was destroyed
But who was it that destroyed him
Zhou Shu and others were extremely surprised and looked around.
The Great Ancestor and others rushed forward, surrounded the Old Ancestor Hai Ling in the center, and glanced around with a vigilant look on their faces.
Huangfu Mingzhu and Ni Yeye looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. They didn't see the murderer, but they knew who did it. Looking at the whole scene, only the little guy had this ability.
Seeing that there was no one else around, the Great Ancestor looked at Wu Tian and shouted, "An honest man should not do shady things. Tell me quickly, did you do it?"
Wu Tian stood up, glanced at Dazu and others, walked to Nie Qiuyu and asked, "Do you want to inherit the position of clan leader?"
Nie Qiuyu shook his head and said, "I don't want to, because being the clan leader will bring me many restrictions, but I know that if I let Brother Yu Zhan take over as clan leader, the Hailing clan will inevitably fall into an irretrievable situation because of his selfishness..."
Nie Yuzhan said angrily, "Nie Qiuyu, are you still my sister? How can you say that about your biological brother? Besides, the Sea Spirit Tribe has never had a woman serve as the tribe leader, so don't let your wishful thinking get you there."
"Brother Yu Zhan, I don't care what you do to me, but I will never allow you to bring the people of your tribe into dire straits. Besides, who says women are inferior to men?"
A determined light flashed in Nie Qiuyu's eyes. He turned around, knelt down at the foot of the statue, and said, "Today I swear in front of the statue of the ancestor that I, Nie Qiuyu, am willing to devote my whole life and everything to protect my people and lead the Sea Spirits to create an unprecedented glorious era!"
"boom!"
“Ka!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, the wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if it was the foreshadowing of the arrival of immortals and gods!
"what happened?"
Everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes full of surprise and doubt.
Nie Qiuyu also looked confused.
"The statue of the ancestor god is alive."
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd, and everyone hurriedly shifted their gaze. The statue was still there, but it was emitting a brilliant light and a terrifying fluctuation of divine power, as if it was really about to be resurrected.
At this moment, except for Wutan and others, the entire Hailing tribe knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.
"call out!"
Suddenly!
A palm-sized hexagram emerged from the head of the statue and floated in the air, with rays of light gushing out and light rain falling, filled with an astonishing divinity!
Upon seeing this, the three great ancestors, the ten clan elders, including the clan leader and his wife, were so excited that they burst into tears, as if they had seen some inestimable treasure.
“Could this be the legendary ancestral inheritance?”
Nie Yuzhan and Nie Yufeng looked at the hexagram with shock in their eyes.
“Swoosh!!”
At the same time, the two of them turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the hexagram.
"Get back quickly!" Dazu saw this and shouted hurriedly, but the two men seemed not to hear him, with greed and desire on their faces.
"It seems that it was a mistake not to kill you more than two thousand years ago." Wutan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold light, but just as he was about to make a move, the hexagram turned into a divine rainbow and automatically merged into Nie Qiuyu's crown.
"how so?"
Seeing this scene, Nie Yuzhan and the other man were stunned, with a look of disbelief on their faces. Suddenly, they pounced towards Nie Qiuyu like crazy.
"Get out!"
The Great Ancestor roared, and instantly stood in front of Nie Qiuyu, with divine power roaring out, and the two were immediately imprisoned in the void!
Then the Great Ancestor turned around, knelt in front of Nie Qiuyu, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Clan Leader."
"Greetings, Chief!"
The second ancestor, the third ancestor, and the ten great elders all bowed down in obeisance.
Even Nie Qiuyu's biological parents and the clan leader and his wife knelt on the ground.
Looking at this sudden change, Wutan and others looked at each other in confusion. Nie Qiuyu himself was also extremely shocked and a little at a loss.
After the hexagram merged into Nie Qiuyu's crown, the light of the statue gradually dimmed, the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually disappeared, and the world slowly returned to peace. It seemed that nothing had changed, but careful people had already discovered that Nie Qiuyu at this moment had a sacred aura.
These careful people are Wutan and others. They now have a very real feeling that Nie Qiuyu seems to have transformed into an inviolable goddess, exuding a noble, sacred and otherworldly temperament.
Looking at Ancestor Hai Ling again, he was also stunned at this moment.
"Yes, this is the mark of the ancestor's inheritance. The Sea Spirits finally have a true leader."
Ancestor Hai Ling was in high spirits, and he crawled to Nie Qiuyu and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, clan leader."
"this… "
Even the ancestors knelt down to worship him. Where had Nie Qiuyu seen such a scene before? He was completely confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Wu Tian transmitted the message: "Let them get up first."
Nie Qiuyu looked at her gratefully, then stepped forward and hugged the arm of Hai Ling Patriarch, saying, "Grandmaster, please get up quickly. And you, my great ancestor, father, mother, you all should get up quickly too!"
Hai Ling Patriarch said: "Patriarch, I have offended you before. Please forgive me. I dare not get up before I get your forgiveness in person."
Dazu and others were also indifferent.
"Grandfather, you... you are deliberately making things difficult for Qiuyu!"
Nie Qiuyu was anxious. After all, she was just a junior. The people kneeling in front of her were all elders whom she respected very much, and even her parents who raised her. How could she accept such an unethical thing? She looked at Wu Tian involuntarily, with a hint of help in her eyes.
Wutan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Princess Xuelan. After all, she was the protagonist, so he had to ask for her consent.
"Why didn't I ask you before?" Princess Xue Lan muttered in dissatisfaction and nodded.
After receiving the instruction, Wu Tian walked to Nie Qiuyu's side, glanced at Hai Ling Patriarch and others, and said calmly: "Tell me the reason first."
The Hailing Patriarch said, "Mr. Wutian, you don't know that the statue behind you was made by the ancestor himself, and he left behind his will. The statue contains his mark of inheritance. Whoever inherits the legacy will be the true leader of the Hailing tribe, and all tribesmen must follow him for life. However, for countless years, successive tribe leaders have failed to start the inheritance. Gradually, we thought it was just a legend, but we didn't expect it to appear today, and we didn't expect the real leader to be a woman."
Wu Tian said: "I don't like what you said. So what if she's a woman? Isn't the Demon Lord also a woman, but she is worse than a man?"
Ancestor Hai Ling said anxiously: "Yes, yes, I was wrong in this matter. I apologize, and I ask for forgiveness from the clan leader."
Nie Qiuyu smiled and said, "Grandfather, I'm not angry at all, get up quickly."
But a group of people remained indifferent.
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Now only if you give them orders will they obey you."
Nie Qiuyu said: "This is not good!"
Wu Tian laughed and said, "You are now the leader of the Sea Spirit Tribe. If you don't have any prestige, how can you lead the Sea Spirit Tribe and create a glorious era in the future?"
“That seems to make sense.”
Nie Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, his face became serious, and he shouted: "I order you to get up immediately!"
"yes!"
Ancestor Hai Ling and others responded respectfully, then stood up and took the initiative to stand behind Nie Qiuyu.
"Is it really useful?" Nie Qiuyu was a little dazed.
Wu Tian shook his head and laughed. Nie Qiuyu had just taken the position and was not used to this kind of treatment. After a while, he would slowly get used to it. He looked around and it seemed that there was nothing for him to do here, so he turned around and returned to his seat. Huangfu Mingzhu looked at him immediately and said sourly, "If you are too attentive to others for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief."
"Well!"
Wu Tian was stunned, then smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, took her hand, and said with a smile: "I said I won't disturb her life, and I definitely won't."
Originally, he was planning to use force to force Nie Qiuyu to the position of clan leader, but there were great risks in doing so. For example, after he left, who could guarantee that Patriarch Hai Ling would not do something stupid
