"Times are changing, and the world is unpredictable. Before a real emperor appears, we, Darkness Port, will not simply pick a side. At the same time, I won't hide the fact that I have high hopes for Tang Ling. I'll do him a favor, but before Tang Ling reveals more, I won't do anything else. "Elder Black expressed his stance on the matter in time.
After all, choosing a side in advance was not something Elder Black could afford. He had the whole of Darkness Port on his back.
"Fine, it's a wise move to pick a side and do him a favor first. Since we're all gathered here today, we can discuss this openly. Of course, Tang Ling is one of the candidates, but I'm sure there are others that you all have high hopes for.
"Then, on top of that, you can also do some favors for the candidates that you think highly of. You don't have to be so sensitive about this. What do you think? "After Elder Black expressed his stance, the mountain master stepped up and said.
It seemed like her words struck a chord in everyone's heart.
The prophecy of an emperor had always been a sore spot in the hearts of all the major factions. All of them were mighty lords of their own territories, so how could they be willing to have an emperor overtake them in the future?
However, Murphy's prophecy was miraculous. It was the kind of prophecy that would come true and no one could change or stop it.
In other words, it was like the mandate of heaven!
No one dared to take the risk. For example, if someone was the emperor, they would kill the person beforehand. Aside from the fact that it was hard to tell whether the person they killed was the emperor or not, even if they found the right person, what if they did not kill the person and the emperor grew instead?
It was entirely possible because the person with the mandate of an emperor would not be killed that easily.
Moreover, everyone was selfish. No one could be the strongest in the current world, so since it was the same for both of us, why should I do it? Why don't you do it?
Fine then. Since I can't kill the so-called emperor, why don't I take whoever I think has the potential to be an emperor under my command? Can I invest in them beforehand?
It's possible. Therefore, all the major factions have been sparing no resources to nurture young geniuses and even set up all sorts of restrictions just to protect them.
Therefore, the Stardust Council's pursuit of Tang Ling had always been limited to a certain range.
However, if this person with the potential to be an emperor was not one of his men or even someone like Tang Ling who did not belong to any faction, what should he do?
What happened just now proved that the heroes would shed all pretense of cordiality and snatch the treasure like how they tried to snatch Tang Ling.
However, it was a coincidence that everyone was gathered together …
If they didn't gather together, who would think that the young man had the potential to become an emperor and did something in advance …
In short, just like what the Mountain Chieftain had said, this was a very sensitive matter. If things went wrong, he might be attacked by everyone.
I can't mess with the Emperor, but I can mess with you? Even Emperor Han couldn't withstand such a siege.
However, since Jian Fei and Elder Black had already done this, it also indicated that they only had high hopes for him and wanted to do some small favors in advance. The Mountain Chieftain made things clear again.
Who wouldn't approve of it?
After all, Elder Hei's words about the times being turbulent and the matters of the world being unpredictable were sincere words. Even a Mighty Lord would be in danger.
Now that things had come to this point, all the troubles had been resolved.
What was left to discuss was naturally the most important matter, the human ancestral temple. For example, where exactly was the ancestral temple located? How many people are going to the ancestral shrine? How are the rewards going to be distributed? If the Mighty Lords went personally, there would be a series of troublesome matters to discuss.
Emperor Han was the one who cared about the ancestral temple the most because he might be able to find what he wanted the most in the ancestral temple. That thing was related to Lu Wa, who he cared about the most!
Therefore, Emperor Han was anxious to talk about the ancestral temple.
However, Elder Black stopped Emperor Han with a gaze. He stood up and said, "I've said it before. We're all gathered here and I've done a series of clean-up work. I might be able to fool the commoners, but I can't fool those with ulterior motives.
Moreover, a few people have left. I trust the Scorching Sun, Aunt Bo, and Faceless Man. Yet, I don't trust that puppet, the Stardust Council President.
"I've used some methods and sensed at least seven different spirits watching this place. Hmph … the demons have always been around. If Tang Ling's incident didn't involve the ancestral temple, it would have been a good chance to drag them out. However, since it's related to the ancestral temple and we might have to leave, we can only discuss it behind closed doors. "
Emperor Han's face turned gloomy when Elder Black said that. He said, "Those who are not of our race have different intentions. We can fight among ourselves, but we can't allow the other races to take advantage of us. I've been wanting to drag them out for a long time. That's why I'm here. "
"But just like what Elder Black said, the ancestral temple is a big deal. Elder Black, do you mean … "
"I've prepared a special place for us to discuss the ancestral temple. It's not wise to stay here any longer. Of course, for the sake of safety, I'll create an illusion here. We'll pretend that we're still here discussing the matter and then we'll part on bad terms. "Elder Black's expression turned serious.
"Very well." The Saintess of Cold Mountain City also nodded in agreement, which was rare for her.
At this point, the Mighty Lords were ready to leave the place under Elder Black's lead. However, to everyone's astonishment, a strange-looking aircraft wobbled as it appeared at the edge of the barrier.
The barrier had clearly stopped this strangely shaped flying machine. However, after the flying machine circled around the barrier at a speed that even the Lords couldn't catch, it actually crashed into the barrier with great force.
Elder Black's face turned grim. He had activated the second most powerful Sector Protection Machine in Darkness Port and it was the ultimate barrier, yet a mere aircraft had barged into the barrier so easily.
If the owner of the aircraft was one of those demons, monsters, and monsters!
Elder Black furrowed his brows and pulled the captain's uniform off his body. His white hair and beard stood on end as he bent his knees and put his palms together.
The surface of the sea that had calmed down inside the barrier suddenly turned into terrifying waves. The waves were swept up by a strong wind and formed a giant made of seawater in the sky.
The moment the giant appeared, it grabbed the aircraft with both hands. No matter how hard the aircraft struggled, it could not break free from the giant's grip.
When Elder Black made his move, the expressions of the City Lords all became solemn and thoughtful. For so many years, Elder Black had lived in seclusion, not caring about the affairs of the world, but his strength was actually more than a level higher than before!
Elder Black originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he had to make a move when the aircraft appeared. At that moment, he could not care less about what the others thought. He said coldly, "I'd like to see who has the guts to bully Darkness Port!"
As he spoke, Elder Black waved his hand and the water giant placed the strange-looking aircraft in front of everyone.
A giant hand was still pressing down on the aircraft, preventing it from moving.
At the same time, Elder Black waved his hand again and formed another giant hand to forcefully break the door of the aircraft.
Right after the door was opened, a young voice with a painful tone was heard, "Don't destroy it! This aircraft is very expensive! If you break it, my old man will beat me to death! "
"I'll just come down! I'll just come down!"
What the hell? Was the aircraft expensive? Of course it was, but how could a super-advanced aircraft that was not expensive break through the barrier of Darkness Port so easily?
But whose foolish son was this? Why did he have no backbone at all? Which family's father was so bold and daring? Who gave such a good aircraft to a stupid son to squander?
Of course, he was a stupid son! Inside the cabin was a fat man who was waving his arms and legs. He looked a little wretched, a little cowardly, and a little funny, but he was definitely not a mutated race.
However, he was definitely not a foreign race. Some foreign races could disguise themselves as humans, but it was impossible for them to deceive so many lords.
This situation puzzled everyone. Even Emperor Han admitted that he did not have the courage to give such a flying device to Lu Wa to play with. There were flying devices like this in the True Capital, but they were strategic weapons.
Under everyone's gaze, Black Tiger shouted with a straight face, "Come down!"
"I'm coming down now, I'm coming down now." Fatty hurriedly 'rolled' out of the cabin. He was practically crawling out of the cabin.
The small screen in the cabin was still playing something. Black Tiger squinted at it. Wasn't that the fake video that he had put on for the people of the world?
Fatty also felt aggrieved. What was going on? It was not like this in the livestream, was it? Tang Ling and Tang Long were in a draw and both of them were exhausted. Meanwhile, the other powerful figures from all over the world were arguing over who won.
Fat Finn was still planning in his heart. He was going to pilot the aircraft and make a grand entrance. He was going to show off his identity to show that he supported Tang Ling.
Tang Ling would surely be grateful, wouldn't he? Next time in the dream, he might even address Fatty as his big brother!
Outside the barrier, what he saw was the same 3D illusion. Without a doubt, even the small Level 2 Sector Protection Machine of Safety Sector No. 17 could create an illusion that was as good as real.
However, the moment Fatty barged into the barrier, he almost cried his heart out in the aircraft.
Inside the barrier, there was no lively scene at all. Instead, a bunch of powerful figures from the secular forces were waiting for him.
Of course, Fatty recognized the powerful figures. His family was not useless, so he did not even have basic information about them.
Then, before Fatty could react, the powerful figures summoned a water giant and destroyed the aircraft.
"Who are you? What are you trying to do by barging into my Darkness Port's barrier? You … "Elder Black had actually let down his guard, but somehow, when he saw the perverted Fatty, he was infuriated, so his face was still as scary as ever.
Fatty's legs turned to jelly when he saw the scene, and he fell to the ground. "Don't kill me! You can't kill me! I'm Ji Chengxi! Yes! Yes! I'm from the Ji family! Do you know that? The Ji family! If you kill me, the consequences will be severe! "
