"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Emperor Xuxing
Emperor Shuimu's eyes narrowed. Someone nominated Emperor Xuxing as the leader of the team, which was somewhat beyond his expectations, but he quickly recovered.
It was not a bad thing for him to have Emperor Xuxing as the leader of the team, because Emperor Xuxing had no foundation and no conflicts with him, so it would be easier to win him over. If another cultivator was nominated, the other cultivators would definitely not agree to let a cultivator who was on good terms with Emperor Shuimu become one of the leaders of the team, because in that case, Emperor Shuimu would directly occupy two places and directly dominate the team.
What’s the difference between that and Emperor Shuimu directly becoming the leader of the team
Compared to nominating a cultivator who didn't get along well with him, choosing Yang Qi as one of the team's leaders did not have such a big impact on him.
"We also nominate Fellow Daoist Xuxing as our leader!" Xu Shang, Emperor Yanzhuo and others on the side spoke up one after another.
Originally, Xu Shang and Emperor Yan Zhuo intended to compete for the leader position, but after someone recommended Yang Qi, they changed their minds. First, they had little hope of competing for the leader position, and second, Yang Qi had a relatively close relationship with them and was easily accepted by other practitioners. In this case, recommending Yang Qi as the leader of the team was obviously more in their interest.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi at the side couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although Xu Shang and others had already discussed it with him through voice transmission, he himself was not very interested in becoming the leader of the team.
Yang Qi is not the kind of practitioner who likes power. What he wants to pursue is the pinnacle of practice. However, now it involves the interests of himself and Xu Shang and others, and with the recommendation of everyone, he can't refuse.
As Xu Shang and others spoke, Deng Chuan and others and many practitioners also spoke in agreement. After all, compared to other practitioners who had their own positions, the relatively neutral Yang Qi was obviously more popular with the public.
Therefore, the second of the three leaders was soon identified, and it was Yang Qi.
Yang Qi stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness. I have not been in this space for a long time. If there is anything I do wrong, please tell me directly."
Most of the practitioners couldn't help but smile knowingly at Yang Qi's words. Wasn't it because of this reason that they chose Yang Qi
Emperor Shuimu, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu Xing, there's no need to be modest. Your strength is the best among the practitioners in this space."
"Fellow Daoist Shui Mu, you are too kind." Yang Qi said with a faint smile. He still had some good feelings towards Emperor Shui Mu. Although this man liked power, at least he had a good reputation.
Then everyone began to elect the third leader, but the competition for this leader became much more intense. Some practitioners nominated practitioners who were familiar with Emperor Shuimu, while others nominated practitioners who did not get along well with Emperor Shuimu. Finally, after a fierce debate, the third leader was determined to be a six-star martial emperor peak practitioner named Chu Jing, who was said to not get along well with Emperor Shuimu.
This result was not unexpected. Among the three leaders, the first one to be confirmed was Emperor Shuimu, followed by the neutral Yang Qi. As for the remaining leader, it was obviously impossible to let a cultivator who was familiar with Emperor Shuimu take the position. Only by letting a cultivator who did not get along well with Emperor Shuimu take the position could a check and balance effect be achieved.
With the three leaders confirmed, the practitioners then formulated some simple rules to try to restrain the practitioners, so as to avoid the internal fighting affecting the overall strength of the practitioners. However, the binding force of these rules is not too strong. After all, this time the practitioners' alliance can only be regarded as a simple alliance. There are many internal conflicts, and it is impossible to achieve the same command as within a special group.
However, the purpose of this practitioners' conference has at least been achieved. At least it has allowed the practitioners to unite. Even if they enter the holy lake to look for opportunities in the future, they will not have to fight alone. If they encounter danger, they can also ask other practitioners for help.
After the cultivator conference ended, Yang Qi and the others did not linger any longer and headed directly towards the Holy Lake. Yang Qi had already broken through to the middle stage of the six-star martial emperor and did not need to remain in seclusion, while Xu Shang and the others had also fully recovered from their injuries. The next step was naturally to continue to obtain the Azure Lotus Seeds.
No one would be willing to keep waiting if they could get the Azure Lotus Seeds as soon as possible. Not all practitioners are like those hidden six-star Martial Emperors who want to force other practitioners to help them take the Azure Lotus Seeds away from this space.
Everyone headed towards the depths of the Holy Lake. After passing the outer area of the Holy Lake, Emperor Yan Zhuo couldn't help but sigh, "The outer area of the Holy Lake is now more deserted than before."
Because of the cooperation between the two special tribes, even in the outer area of the Holy Lake, practitioners rarely dare to act alone, and often travel in groups. There are only a few dozen practitioners in this space, and now if they travel in groups, it will naturally seem that there are fewer practitioners.
You should know that in the past, practitioners did not need to travel together in the outer area of the Holy Lake. Because there were almost no members of the two special tribes here, and occasionally there were Azure Lotus Seeds. For many practitioners with weak strength, searching for Azure Lotus Seeds nearby would take longer, but at least it was safer.
But now, because of the alliance between two special ethnic groups, even in the outermost area of the Holy Lake, practitioners dare not act alone and can only choose to travel in groups.
"It's okay outside the Holy Lake. As long as we travel together, the danger won't be too great. But in the depths of the Holy Lake, even a small team of practitioners dare not go deep into it easily. Now, even if we want to find out the news of the birth of the Sky Blue Lotus Seed, it is not so easy." Xu Shang sighed slightly.
Compared to the outer area of the Holy Lake, the depths of the Holy Lake are more dangerous, and that is the main production area of the Azure Lotus Seeds, so the practitioners cannot just give up. However, if you want to go deep into it, you must have a certain level of strength. A single team of practitioners is obviously not enough, and at least two or three peak-level six-star martial emperors must escort you.
However, there are only so many six-star Martial Emperor peak-level practitioners in this space, and it is impossible to unite too many practitioners in a small-scale search for signs of the emergence of the Azure Lotus Seed. As a result, it will become much more difficult for ordinary six-star Martial Emperor late-stage practitioners to enter the Holy Lake.
Without the escort of practitioners at the peak level of six-star Martial Emperor, they can only unite a large number of practitioners to enter the depths of the Holy Lake, but without the presence of top powerhouses, the danger will still be great.
