This evening was supposed to be an important ceremony for the Four Symbols Sect, but now that it was just dawn, it seemed that the topic of this evening's ceremony needed to be changed.
Originally it was a ceremony to establish the leader, but now it seems that the leader is not important enough.
The Night Emperor has truly arrived...
There is no need for anyone to introduce what kind of sword this is. Any believer who practices the Four Symbols technique can feel the strong aura from it. It encompasses the practice of all individual Four Symbols believers, and is all-encompassing and vast.
This is definitely mentioned in the scriptures of the sect. The Night Emperor once had an unfinished sword... This is it.
This sword is not a symbol, it has an absolute practical embodiment.
It can be seen from this complicated sword-making process that if it weren't for the Night Emperor, no one else would be able to wield this sword, let alone forge it with their own hands... It's hard to say whether the Night Emperor could forge it himself. The classics make it clear that the Night Emperor only made the sword blank and did not complete it!
But under the eyes of all the believers who came to attend the leader's ceremony, they watched it being cast.
Without anyone telling them, the believers automatically regarded Zhao Changhe as the Night Emperor.
Some people who know about this are thinking, no wonder they have always felt that the Venerable's attitude towards Zhao Changhe is weird. If it were someone else who had an affair with the Saint, wouldn't the Venerable skin him alive? But the Venerable's attitude towards Zhao Changhe is so bad that he didn't even want to beat the Saint, except for punishing her to copy books. The two Venerables also cooperated with Zhao Changhe in various ways, fighting Maitreya and the Sea King, like close comrades...
It turns out that he had already suspected that Zhao Changhe was the Night Emperor. The Saint Girl was originally a servant of God, so there was no point in fighting her... The reason why he was punished to copy books was simply because he was not sure about the Night Emperor yet and could not be sent away in a hurry.
However, several parties involved knew very well that Zhao Changhe was really not the Night Emperor.
It cannot be said that his martial arts are diametrically opposed to those of the Night Emperor, but it can be said that they are completely unrelated.
Even Zhuque's expectation that "when you reach a bottleneck, you can refer to our Four Symbols Sect's skills" was not implemented. From beginning to end, except for the basic method of lighting up the stars to echo, which was taught in the early days, the rest had nothing to do with the Four Symbols Sect.
And his intention of the stars is to "get ahead of the Night Emperor". First the Milky Way and then the Four Symbols can be regarded as a direction adjustment, but the sun and the moon shining together are really different from the intention of the Night Emperor. The scorching sun is not the night. With this thing, he is no longer called the Night Emperor.
However, the sword blank determines that you can only dance within this framework. If you completely contradict the meaning of the stars in the sky contained in the sword blank, you will never be able to successfully forge the sword and give birth to the sword spirit. If you can succeed, it means that his intention is also in line with the stars in the sky, no problem.
It seems that we can really say that his wild words have come true—he is not the Night Emperor, but he has gone further than the Night Emperor.
For a moment, the people in the underground secret room looked at each other in bewilderment. This time, it really came to the question Zhao Changhe had asked before: Are you loyal to the Night Emperor, a specific person, or to the will of the stars in the sky? If it is the latter, then you can kneel now.
But it's very weird after all. He is a person who doesn't know any of the Four Symbols Sect's skills. All his martial arts have nothing to do with this. If you call him the Night Emperor, you might as well say that I am Qin Shi Huang.
Of course, everything is decided by humans. As long as the top leaders of the Four Symbols Sect recognize it, then he is the one.
The three Four Symbols Sect leaders looked at each other with strange expressions. Xia Chichi suddenly laughed and bowed down: "Greetings to Emperor Ye."
"Who asked you that?" Zhuque jumped up and down as if waking up from a dream: "You can't wait to sleep with me, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Xia Chichi said calmly, "The Saint does not intend to serve with her body. This is what the Venerable has repeatedly told me, so it has nothing to do with this. Xia Chichi is a second-class Saint, and the Azure Dragon is close to the Emperor. She was originally going to be elected as the leader tonight, and she has her own say in important matters. I think he is the Night Emperor, and I am expressing my position, that's all."
More than just the qualification to speak, this qualification is overflowing. If this is to be discussed in a meeting, she will definitely be the host of the meeting.
But how can a meeting host announce his position right at the beginning? Is this called hosting a meeting or setting the pace
Zhuque looked at Sanniang for help. He was a little confused and didn't know whether his thoughts were objective or not, or whether they were worthy of his beliefs. Xia Chichi was a typical idiot and could not be trusted at all. The only one who could look at this matter objectively was Xuanwu.
Moreover, Xuanwu has always existed as this kind of character. She is lazy and otherworldly, has no worldly desire for power and self-needs, and can look at everything in the church from the most detached perspective. In the past, when Zhuque had any hesitations about such things, his first reaction was to consult Xuanwu.
Sanniang looked at her seriously, and after thinking for a while, she nodded objectively, "I think that the Night Emperor was created because of the will of the stars, not because of the Night Emperor. Therefore, the one who has the will of the stars is the Night Emperor, not a specific person."
Zhuque was a little stuttering: "But, but he doesn't have any relevant skills..."
"Putting the cart before the horse." Sanniang said solemnly, "The stars are the main principle, and the skills are nothing but derivatives. How can you deny the main principle because of the derivatives? How pedantic!"
Zhuque said angrily, "Why don't you kneel down and see?"
Sanniang knelt down without saying a word: "Greetings to the Night Emperor." "???" Zhuque half opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time. After all, you are also the Xuanwu Venerable. Even if you have made up your mind, don't you care about face and reserve? Why do I feel that you kneel more straightforwardly than Chi Chi
She didn't see Sanniang and Chichi secretly exchanged glances, full of the tacit understanding that they had once overlapped. In fact, they had kneeled side by side before, but Zhao Changhe was behind them at that time.
Little did Suzaku know that even Xuanwu, the most reliable and selfless person in his heart, was a traitor. He thought it was really the objective decision of Venerable Xuanwu. At this moment, he felt really bad.
Xuanwu admitted it and was still so determined, it seems that it is really...
If it were a meeting vote, with two out of three in favor, it would be a definite conclusion. However, the affairs of the Four Symbols Sect have long been controlled by Suzaku. She is the de facto leader and her opinion is decisive.
Zhuque's mind is still a little confused. How did it become that I was against him?... In my heart, I was obviously very happy, willing, and looking forward to this day.
But somehow, with the mask on my face, I couldn't say the words of submission. It was as if a lifetime of reserve and pride was stuck on the mask, blocking my heart.
Zhao Changhe's voice finally came: "Please stand up, both of you. Reverend Suzaku..."
Suzaku looked up at him.
Zhao Changhe said, "In fact, I don't want to be the Night Emperor, and I don't want everyone to kneel down and worship me. I don't have anything worthy of worship. Your Excellency, forging this sword by force is a bit reluctant for me at the moment, and it involves some risks... Well, I don't want to brag about the risks I took, I just want to tell you that the reason I did this is just because I hope that the Four Symbols Sect and I have the same interests and there will be no more conflicts. I don't want to conflict with the Four Symbols Sect, nor do I want to... go against your Excellency."
Zhuque reluctantly said, "You sound so nice, but you just want to conquer the Four Symbols Sect?"
Zhao Changhe asked, "Your Excellency, are you still confused and think that Zhao Changhe is just an old young man who betrayed his master and was a useless person who didn't know martial arts more than two years ago?"
The two looked at each other, and the fire of those years flashed in their eyes.
When we first met, who could have imagined this day
Zhuque seemed to hear another soul speaking in his voice: "Yes, your strength is not enough to be recognized by me."
Zhao Changhe pointed forward with his sword: "Then... Zhao Changhe challenges the Suzaku Venerable. If I lose, I will be a good Fire Pig of the Four Elephants Sect."
This staircase… Suzaku felt very comfortable stepping on it: "Okay. If you can defeat me, I will serve you from now on."
Sanniang and Xia Chichi jumped to the side at the same time and leaned their heads to watch the two fighting.
Zhao Changhe glanced at them and said with a smile, "Let's change places."
The two of them understood each other's minds and suddenly left the Taimiao and disappeared.
Sanniang jumped up and down: "You have no conscience, I performed so well with you, but you won't even let me have fun!"
Xia Chichi glanced at her: "Are you really just acting?"
Sanniang: “…”
Not really.
At this moment, she really felt that Zhao Changhe should be the Night Emperor of this era. No matter what happened in ancient times, it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, Zhuque should have had the same idea in his mind, but he could not take off the mask on his face.
Zhao Changhe has given the opportunity to fight, but I wonder if Zhuque will deliberately lose and naturally "make Venerable Zhuque kneel in front of you"
Sanniang suddenly thought that maybe Zhao Changhe didn't need Zhuque to lose on purpose.
There is a real possibility that Zhao Changhe can win based on his strength.
That is the ultimate conquest.
