After hearing Long Yi's words, the five heads of the sect became somewhat interested. They naturally wanted to fight for the position of leader for the strong men of their own holy land. Once they became the leader, they could command the practitioners of other holy lands.
To be the leader, one needs not only strength, but also a certain command ability. If the five heads of the sect personally take action, they can naturally be the leader, but the five of them are not among the candidates for support this time. Besides them, how can the practitioners of other holy places easily obey the leadership of others!
The five sect leaders all knew this, so even though they were interested in the leadership position, they did not say it out loud, because they knew that the people under their command were simply not capable of commanding others.
"This matter was initiated by the Long family, so I think it should be led by the warriors of the Long family." Xuanjizi looked at Long Yi not far away and said.
He knew that the strong men in his sect were not qualified for the position of leader. On the contrary, the Long family was the leader of the six holy places. If a cultivator from the Long family was the leader, the voices of opposition from others would not be so strong.
Although the four Southern Border Saint Lords were somewhat unwilling, they also knew that this was the best choice. Otherwise, the twelve strong men sent out would fight on their own. Not to mention helping the Dark Council share the pressure, even ensuring their own safety would probably be a problem.
"The warriors of the Long family are not suitable to lead." Long Yi shook his head and looked at Yang Qi not far away.
Seeing Long Yi looking at Yang Qi, Xuanjizi and the other four were stunned, but the next moment, they understood why Yang Qi appeared in this meeting.
Yang Qi was just a casual cultivator. When the Dark Order requested support, no one sent Yang Qi out. It could be said that he didn't need to attend the meeting at all. But Yang Qi showed up. I'm afraid Yang Qi was one of the candidates for support this time. When a martial master took action, the best candidate to lead was naturally Yang Qi.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Yang Qi knew that he would not be able to escape the position of commander this time. If he did not take on the role, no one else would be qualified.
"I can be the commander, but this time it's a war, so let me be frank with you. If they don't obey my orders, don't blame me for being rude." Yang Qi looked at everyone and said calmly.
Since he is the leader, he must have absolute authority. Otherwise, if the people below do not obey his orders, his leadership will be useless.
"Of course." Long Yi nodded slightly.
The Southern Frontier Saint and others also responded one after another. This time supporting the Dark Council was no joke. If their subordinates did not obey orders, it might endanger the subsequent war.
What's more, Yang Qi is a powerful martial artist who has the absolute strength to suppress a nine-star martial artist. Practitioners all believe in respecting the strong. Yang Qi's strength is enough to win the respect of everyone.
Long Yi and others discussed the candidates to be sent before ending the meeting. After everyone left, Long Yi left Yang Qi alone.
"Yang Qi, you have entered the Wuzong, I haven't congratulated you yet." Long Yi said with a smile, "I thought it would take you several decades to enter the Wuzong, but I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly. For our Chinese cultivation world, this is a happy event."
In the Western cultivation world, although the Dark Council and the Holy See of Light are mortal enemies, at least the West has two powerful martial arts masters. In this regard, the Chinese cultivation world is inferior to the West. In fact, if it were not for the hatred that the Western cultivation world has had for countless years, if the two combined, the Eastern cultivation world would not be able to resist at all.
Although the Dark Council and the Holy See of Light cannot unite, if we compare the gap between the Eastern and Western cultivation worlds, it is enough to make the six holy places ashamed. You know, when the Holy See of Light marched eastward, the entire Eastern cultivation world, mainly the Chinese cultivation world, defeated the Holy See of Light. At that time, the Chinese cultivation world was not simply better than the Holy See of Light, but the internal struggles of the major holy places in the Chinese cultivation world were more intense, and even the war of holy places broke out.
Since the Eastern Expedition of the Saint Emperor, the Western cultivation world has hardly seen a full-scale war. This has also led to the fact that although there are many secret struggles in the Western cultivation world, it is relatively peaceful. There is no internal fighting like in the Chinese cultivation world.
“I was lucky enough to have an epiphany and break through, otherwise I don’t know when I can enter the Wuzong realm.” Yang Qi smiled bitterly. If it weren’t for Yang Si’s birth, which allowed him to have an epiphany and break through, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to enter the Wuzong realm.
"Actually, it was President North's idea to let you go to Europe this time." Long Yi said.
"North?"
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something. He frowned and asked, "President North is worried that the Holy Emperor of Light will attack him directly?"
Without the Holy Grail, the Holy See of Light is stronger than North. Now that the Holy See of Light has begun to withdraw its forces, I am afraid that the power of the Holy Grail has almost recovered. If the Holy Emperor of Light concentrates his strength against North, he may really be able to kill North in one fell swoop.
Once North dies, the Dark Council will be leaderless and its combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the alliance between the Chinese cultivation world and the Dark Council will become an empty talk.
Long Yi nodded and continued, "North knows that he is no match for the Holy Emperor of Light. If the two of you join forces, even if you are no match for the Holy Emperor of Light, you will still be able to save your lives."
Yang Qi nodded secretly. Although he was only a one-star martial master now, he could still burst out with the strength close to that of a two-star martial master by relying on the martial arts and Yuanbing inherited from Emperor Haoyang. If he joined forces with North, a two-star martial master, he could save his life even if he was under the command of the Holy Emperor of Light.
"As long as North is still here, the Dark Council will not collapse. If a war breaks out, we will be able to provide support in the first time." Long Yi said.
"I understand." Yang Qi nodded slightly. Before the meeting, Long Yi had already informed him that he would be one of the people going to Europe this time.
"Senior Long, I want to trade some Yuan Crystals with you." Yang Qi suddenly said.
"Yuan Jing, what do you want that for?" Long Yi was stunned, looking at Yang Qi in confusion. Yuan Jing is indeed a good thing. The heaven and earth energy inside is pure, which can be used for cultivation and to restore the consumed energy. However, this thing is only a relic left after the ancient war. The earth does not produce real Yuan Jing at all. Although the major holy places have Yuan Jing, they are not many and cannot be used for cultivation. They are just used as reserves and will only be used at critical moments.
"I have a puppet that needs Yuan Crystals to activate. It can unleash the combat power of a nine-star martial artist. However, I don't have many Yuan Crystals, so I want to trade some just in case." Yang Qi did not hide the matter of the puppet.
Although puppets are good, they consume too much crystals. The existing crystals on Earth are getting smaller and smaller as time goes by. And the combat power is only that of a nine-star martial artist. The major holy places don't even care about them. (To be continued)
