At the peak of the Lion Camel Mountain, the ancient Lion King Temple stood tall in the snow. The icy cold air at the peak of the mountain also washed away the scorching heat of the midsummer.
But under the control of the formation, the interior of the Lion King Temple was like spring all year round, neither hot nor cold, it was extremely comfortable.
Under normal circumstances, the elders of the Lion King Temple would wear light and exquisite white silk robes, they looked confident and calm.
But today, all the elders sat at the two sides of the long table with solemn expressions. In the huge room, not only was there no one talking, not even the sound of breathing could be heard. Everyone's eyes, noses, noses, and mouths, as if they were statues. The silence in the room was oppressive.
The maids who came and went carefully served fruits and tea before hurriedly retreating. Normally, the more important the matter, the more noisy the elders would be. They had never seen the Lion Tribe elders so solemn and quiet, all of them were on tenterhooks, afraid that something would go wrong.
When the maids returned to their rooms, they could not help but discuss in low voices.
"Tribe leader's face is so long, I wonder what happened?"
"That's right, the other elders are also like that, even the most lecherous Shi Qing is very obedient, he does not even look around."
"What exactly happened, just looking at them makes me panic …"
"Who knows, could it be that the frontline has failed?" A maid was worried, the stalemate in the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range had caused the lion warriors to suffer heavy casualties. Although they were in the safest Lion King Temple, they were always thinking about the battle ahead.
"Probably not."
A beautiful round faced maid shook her head, "I saw the tribe leader sitting at the lower position, they seem to be waiting for someone to hold a meeting."
"Could it be the representative of Heaven Martial City? Or Alliance Leader Xiong Ba? "A maid guessed.
The barbarians had already established an anti-demon alliance two years ago, the alliance leader was Xiong Ba who had become a sage. In the barbarians, only Xiong Ba could make the tribe leader Shi Xun sit at the lower position.
"What is Alliance Leader Xiong doing here …" The other maids were even more confused, the elders' solemn expressions meant that it was definitely not good.
"You guys are talking behind my back again, are all of you itching for a beating!"
Shi Qingqing passed by the door and heard the discussion in the room, she was very displeased, she directly pushed the door open and reprimanded everyone.
When the maids saw Shi Qingqing, their expressions changed. After Shi Qingqing reached the Ninth Order this year, she was promoted to an elder. The other elders were all men, so they were quite generous to them. Shi Qingqing was the only one who was particularly strict with her.
The maids were all frightened, and they hurriedly lowered their heads to admit their mistakes, "Elder, we were wrong."
"We will never dare to do it again."
"Elder, please spare us this time."
Shi Qingqing didn't want to let them off so easily. These maids were too talkative, and none of them had any sense of confidentiality. Spread whatever news you hear. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to govern.
"Don't all of you have a brain? Spreading whatever you hear. There are spies of the demon race everywhere! Do you know how many people will have to pay with their lives for spreading the secret like this? "
Just as Shi Qingqing was about to reprimand Gao Zhengyang, she sensed something. She turned around and saw Shi Han walking over with Gao Zhengyang.
He hadn't seen Gao Zhengyang for three years, but he hadn't changed at all. He wore a long black robe and a pair of hemp shoes. The short stubble on his head made him look very fierce. His thick black eyebrows were still so domineering and flamboyant. But the look in his eyes was a little more profound and reserved, and a little less sharp.
But for some reason, Shi Qingqing felt that Gao Zhengyang had become even more terrifying.
She didn't dare to look at him anymore, and she looked away. From afar, she lowered her head and cupped her fists at Gao Zhengyang, "Qingqing greets Uncle-Master."
Gao Zhengyang nodded and smiled, "You've entered Grade Nine, not bad."
"It's all because of Auntie's teachings," Shi Qingqing said humbly.
Shi Han said calmly, "It has nothing to do with me, you're the one who worked hard enough."
Gao Zhengyang said, "Let's go to the meeting together."
Shi Qingqing didn't dare to say anything and nodded her head. She followed behind Shi Han carefully. She was as obedient as a servant.
The maids were all shocked when they saw that. Although Shi Qingqing had just become an Elder, she had always been extremely arrogant. Normal Elders didn't even bother to hide their emotions, and even in front of the Chief, they acted tough.
They didn't know who this man was, to be able to make Shi Qingqing so obedient, she was like a little kitten. When Gao Zhengyang and the others entered the meeting hall, a group of maids couldn't take it anymore.
"Who was that just now? Look at how obedient she was … "A pretty round-faced maid said mockingly. If not for that man, who knew how Shi Qingqing would have punished them. Of course, she didn't hold back when she spoke.
"Shh …"
One of the maids gestured for them to be quiet, and when everyone quietened down, she lowered her voice, "That was Overlord Gao Zhengyang."
She didn't even make a sound, and only mouthed her words.
But the other maids immediately understood what she was saying, and two of them cried out in excitement, "Ah …"
They quickly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered their mouths. The other maids were also shocked, and they exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak.
Although Gao Zhengyang had disappeared for three years, his name was like the sun in the sky, and no one could compare to him. Whether it was the barbarians or the humans, Gao Zhengyang was publicly recognized as the number one in the world.
He was domineering and ruthless, and his reputation was mixed. But the invasion of the Demon race made his reputation soar, and most people thought that he could represent the strongest power of the humans and barbarians.
After entering the chaotic world, the humans and barbarians became more powerful and powerful. Gao Zhengyang's strength was a spiritual need to them. And this need kept making Gao Zhengyang a legend. It made his reputation grow day by day.
The few lion maids all knew that Gao Zhengyang had a close relationship with the lion race. They also knew that Gao Zhengyang had stolen the lion race's divine artifact, the Heavenly Lion Claw. Everyone feared and admired Gao Zhengyang at the same time. Today, they finally saw this legendary expert with their own eyes, so they were naturally extremely excited.
But thinking of Gao Zhengyang's legendary ability, the maids did not dare to speak carelessly. They could only exchange glances excitedly to express their emotions.
Although they did not speak, when the maid said Gao Zhengyang's name, it had already alarmed Gao Zhengyang.
After becoming a Heart Saint, Gao Zhengyang was extremely sensitive to everything related to himself. Not to mention the maids were close at hand, even if someone was billions of miles away, or even if someone said his name in other worlds, he would faintly sense it.
Gao Zhengyang was moved, and he knew that the maids were just gossiping, and did not mean anything else. He was not interested in paying attention anymore.
Even if he became a Heart Saint, the power of the mind had a limit. Gao Zhengyang could not always pay attention to those trivial matters. He could not easily see through the hearts of others.
The more powerful the power, the more power it consumed. This was an irrefutable truth.
The group of elders of the Lion Tribe were all weak, but each of them had complex thoughts, it was not easy to control them.
After entering the hall, Gao Zhengyang calmed his mind, walked to the main seat in large strides, and sat down.
Normally speaking, he was just a guest. No matter what, he should not sit at the main seat to preside over the meeting. But sitting here, Gao Zhengyang was calm and magnanimous as if it was a matter of course. The many elders of the Lion Tribe also did not have any objections, they also seemed to feel that this was reasonable.
After Gao Zhengyang sat down, Patriarch Shi Xun and the other elders all stood up, bowing and greeting Gao Zhengyang together, their attitude was extremely respectful.
The last time Gao Zhengyang came to Lion Camel Mountain, he killed the two great elders of the Lion Tribe, snatched the Heavenly Lion Claw, and left an incomparably deep impression in the hearts of all the Lion Tribe people.
No matter how much the Lion Tribe detested and hated Gao Zhengyang, they had to face a cruel fact. This man was getting stronger and stronger, he was not someone they could provoke.
Gao Zhengyang gestured for everyone to sit down, "We are all on the same side, no need to stand on ceremony, sit down."
Only then did Shi Xun and the other Lion Tribe elders all sit down. Sitting at the very end, Shi Shiqing's mood was even more complicated. Thinking back to when they were in the Demon Realm, they were still vaguely stronger than Gao Zhengyang. At least, they were on equal footing.
It was also because of Gao Zhengyang's provocation that he worked hard for the past decade and finally reached the Ninth Order, but he did not even have the qualifications to look up to Gao Zhengyang. Although they were sitting in the same room, he could only lower his head, not daring to look at Gao Zhengyang.
A figure flashed by the side, Shi Qingqing sat next to Shi Shiqing. Shi Qingqing glanced at her, exchanging a look with her.
Shi Qingqing was at least Jue Mie's biological granddaughter, Gao Zhengyang would definitely treat her differently. Seeing Shi Qingqing's relaxed expression, Shi Shiqing also heaved a sigh of relief.
Gao Zhengyang's sudden arrival on Lion Camel Mountain really made everyone feel extremely uneasy. No one knew what he wanted to do. Looking at Shi Qingqing's expression, there shouldn't be any big problems.
However, Shi Shiqing misunderstood. Shi Qingqing was in a good mood because she said a few words to Gao Zhengyang and received some encouragement.
Shi Qingqing had never liked Gao Zhengyang. After the Heavenly Lion Claw was snatched away by him, she hated Gao Zhengyang even more. But after a few years of bloody battles, Shi Qingqing realized how important it was to have the support of a peerless expert.
Gao Zhengyang also changed from a person she hated to a powerful backer. This change in attitude was very realistic, but also very mature.
Shi Qingqing understood that as an elder of the Lion tribe, she had a huge responsibility. She could not ostracize Gao Zhengyang just because of her personal likes and dislikes.
On the contrary, she had to rely on their relationship to fight for benefits for herself and the Lion tribe.
With this understanding, Shi Qingqing's attitude towards Gao Zhengyang was naturally different. Without any resistance, she also discovered Gao Zhengyang's extraordinary charm. A peerless charm unique to a peerless expert.
Of course, he could not tell anyone about his meticulous thoughts. Not even Shi Han, who was closest to him.
"I've been circling the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range for the past two days. The demon race is powerful and imposing. However, the lion race's resistance is tenacious and heroic. Launching a large-scale guerrilla warfare in the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range is an extremely brilliant tactic … "
Gao Zhengyang's magnetic and powerful voice made Shi Qingqing quickly focus her attention. The other Lion Clan elders were the same. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone finally dared to look at Gao Zhengyang in the eye.
The expressions of Shi Xun and the other elders were clearly much more relaxed. This was clearly praise, and also Gao Zhengyang's recognition of them.
Gao Zhengyang paused for a moment, then said, "Everyone, the war between us and the demon race will definitely be a long and drawn-out war. We must use all our strength, all our means to fight, to resist. In this process, there will definitely be people who will be weak and afraid. "
At this point, Gao Zhengyang looked around with a grave and stern gaze. All the Lion Clan elders puffed out their chests and raised their heads, their faces resolute.
At this time, no one dared to show the slightest hesitation. With the example of the Fire Nation in front of them, no one doubted how ruthless and unyielding Gao Zhengyang's methods were!
Gao Zhengyang was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude. He nodded and said, "There are trillions of demons, dozens of times more than us. This was indeed a huge number that made people despair. However, we also have to see that the demon race lacks an organization and does not have enough resources. It is impossible to send all the demons to the human world. Just from this point of view, we are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers … "
All the Lion Clan elders did not say anything. The upper echelons of the various clans had already done this kind of strategic analysis thousands of times. Indeed, it was impossible for the demon race to transport all the demons over. However, even if only a tenth of them were transported over, the demon race would win for sure.
The human race might not be too far off in terms of numbers. But there was a problem. The demon race was a completely different race from the human race. All the demons were warlike and murderous. Even the lowest level demon race had the ability to survive that far surpassed humans and barbarians.
Simply put, the demon race was like a group of wild beasts. Even if they had no food or clothes, if they were thrown into the wilderness, they could still reproduce and live. This was a very terrifying ability to survive. Also, all the demons had the ability to fight.
The human race and barbarians were too far off. After ten thousand years of continuous development, the human race and barbarians had become weak. Only adults had the ability to fight. Women, the elderly, and children had become the weak that had to be taken care of. Not only did they not have the ability to fight, they also had to be taken care of.
Such a form of civilization would be at a great disadvantage when facing the beast-like demon race.
No matter how they deduced, the barbarians and humans had less than a ten percent chance of winning. Of course, this kind of deduction had all kinds of limitations. It was also impossible to calculate all levels. For example, the thoughts of the gods and all kinds of accidents.
Also, even if they felt that there was no hope of victory, they could not immediately surrender. They had to fight to the death to prove their worth. Only after surrendering would they be respected.
Most of the Lion Clan elders were inclined to surrender. But they all understood this logic. Before surrendering, they had to prove that they were strong enough.
This kind of subtle thought naturally could not be told to the people below. Although the Lion Clan elders had a tacit understanding with each other, they could not openly say this kind of thing.
Now that Gao Zhengyang had come, no one dared to say anything. Right now, they only wanted to coax Gao Zhengyang and not let him find fault.
In reality, Gao Zhengyang was also well aware of this. He did not need the Sacred Heart Technique to pry into the elders' thoughts. He only needed to make the most simple deduction.
But Gao Zhengyang could not tolerate this kind of thinking. As long as they had a fluke in their hearts, in such a cruel war, they would definitely be crushed into powder.
He said, "Perhaps everyone feels that we have no chance of winning, and that resistance is just a last-ditch struggle. Facing a powerful enemy that they cannot defeat, a weak and lowly desire to survive is the instinct of intelligent life. But you have to understand one thing, in the eyes of the upper-level demons, all other races are inferior life forms. What Green Demons? They are just labors and food. Do the other races still want to live after surrendering? "
Gao Zhengyang said with absolute certainty, "Without a doubt, all the races that surrender will become farmers, become livestock, work for them, and in the end, become their food."
The Lion Clan elders had somewhat ugly expressions. It was not that they could not see this, but they did not dare to think too much about it. According to the morals of the demons, they would definitely treat the surrenders like this.
"Either die in humiliation, or fight bravely to the death, there is still a chance of survival."
Gao Zhengyang said seriously, "With everyone's intelligence, you can definitely understand this simplest principle. Moreover, the demons are savage and savage, this is their advantage, but also their disadvantage. The human and barbarian races have tens of thousands of years of civilization, their organizational system is strict, and the accumulated potential of civilization is enormous. The longer we delay, the stronger we will become. In the end, victory will belong to us. "
The elders looked at each other. Gao Zhengyang's words were reasonable and also very tempting. But it was too naive to want to persuade them to fight to the death like this.
Patriarch Shi Xun hesitated and said, "Sect Master Gao has great foresight, we admire you."
"There is no need for compliments. Perhaps everyone did not listen to what I said earlier. I will say something that everyone likes to hear. "
Gao Zhengyang interrupted Shi Xun and said, "I definitely will not tolerate any surrender. This kind of thing is fine if you think about it. If they really surrender, I will exterminate their entire race. "
His indifferent words were filled with endless murderous intent. The elders felt like they had fallen into an ice cave. Even the calmest person could not help but have a change of expression.
"So, there is a path of survival in a bloody battle, surrender means death."
Gao Zhengyang said leisurely, "Maybe some people will think that I am being an alarmist. I can't kill all the demons, but fifty million Lion Clan is nothing. "
Shi Xun had a bitter expression. Gao Zhengyang was just this unreasonable, even more hateful than the demons. He looked at Shi Han for help, hoping that she could say a few words to ease the atmosphere.
Shi Han shook her head at Shi Xun, indicating that she had nothing to say.
Gao Zhengyang lightly knocked on the table and said with a smile, "In order to give everyone a little confidence, I will go to the demon camp in the Heavenly Lion Mountain Range tonight and destroy the Earth Profound Spirit."
The elders were even more surprised. They did not care about being rude and looked at Gao Zhengyang in unison, guessing if he was joking or using some trick.
Gao Zhengyang saw everyone's doubts and said, "I know that some people have connections with the Earth Profound Spirit. En, there is no harm in telling him that he will wash his head tonight and I will step on the moon to get it."
The elders hurriedly lowered their heads again. What a joke, who would dare to communicate with that side at this time? Wouldn't that be courting death!
Gao Zhengyang was a little disappointed, "Looks like no one will send a message."
His gaze turned and landed on Shi Changqing, "Fighting without a declaration is too lacking in bearing. Changqing, I will trouble you to send a letter of challenge … "
