After some discussion, everyone felt that this matter was very promising. Finally, a prince at the peak of the Origin Primordial Realm stepped forward and said, "I want to know, if we overthrow Father, who should we elect as the new Asura King?"
The moment he said that, the surrounding people quietened down. Everyone's eyes were fixed on SongZhong, waiting to see what he had to say. After all, this concerned the future king of countless Asura clansmen. It was also the issue of who the ruler of the entire Asura World would belong to.
Everyone present was qualified to fight for this position, and they all wanted it very much. Therefore, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
Song Zhong knew the person who spoke. This tall and burly fellow was the seventh prince. His status in the Asura World was considered high, but his personality was too straightforward. He was unwilling to marry the person appointed by Patriarch Blood River. Instead, he married the woman he loved. As a result, Patriarch Blood River despised him and confined him to Blood Lotus Island.
Otherwise, with his strength and the power of his mother's clan, he should be a general leading an army outside.
Speaking of which, among all the princes and princesses present, he was the most qualified to be the new king.
Song Zhong knew at a glance that he wanted him to take over the position. Unfortunately, Song Zhong had already given it to his wife, Shura Xue. How could he let an outsider take advantage of it?
Therefore, Song Zhong smiled and said, "Goddess Houtu and I agree that the little princess of the Asura Clan, Shura Xue, is extremely intelligent and can take on great responsibilities!"
"Ah!" As soon as Song Zhong said this, everyone around him instantly cried out.
"Shura Xue? Isn't that Song Zhong's wife? "
"She is ranked the lowest and has the lowest strength. Her mother's clan isn't very powerful, and she has almost no prestige. Why should she come?"
"That's right. Anyone here should be more qualified to be the Asura King than Shura Xue, right?"
"Moreover, a married woman is like water that has been poured out. Shura Xue has already married an outsider. How can she be qualified to come back and be the Asura King?"
In the face of these people's discussion, Song Zhong only smiled and didn't say anything. On the other hand, the Seventh Prince's face was ashen. He could not help but cry out, "Song Zhong, what kind of joke is this? Little Snow was so young, how could she have the qualifications to be the Asura King? Just because she's married to you, you think you can joke about such an important matter? "
"This is not a joke!" Song Zhong said faintly, "But you are right about one thing. It is because she married me that I will support her. There is no doubt about that!"
Seeing Song Zhong so blatantly abusing his power for personal gain, the people present were instantly enraged. However, they were afraid of Song Zhong's strength, so most of them dared not speak out. Only a few hotheads occasionally hid in the dark and mocked him.
SongZhong treated it as a passing wind, and could not be bothered with it. However, the Seventh Prince could not hold back his anger and said, "Song Zhong, you can choose to support your wife, but don't expect us to support her! The matters of the Asura Tribe are not something an outsider can interfere with! "
"That's right, we are firmly against Shura Xue being the Asura King!" The others immediately shouted.
When Song Zhong heard this, he immediately laughed coldly and then threatened fiercely, "Then do you all object to me killing all of you?"
When Song Zhong's murderous words left his mouth, the crowd immediately calmed down. Only then did they remember the situation in front of them. They were clearly on someone's chopping block. They were just prisoners. How could they have the right to talk back to Song Zhong? Even the Seventh Prince was dumbfounded. He did not dare to say anything else. He only looked at Song Zhong in horror, afraid that he would take out the Bell of Chaos and kill him.
Song Zhong glanced at these people coldly and then said with a cold smile, "Let me tell you, this is also Empress Houtu's intention. In other words, this matter has already been decided. There is no need for you to say any more nonsense! Now, you only have two choices. One is to loyally support the second Empress of the Asura Tribe, Shura Xue. The other choice is death! "
When Song Zhong said the last word "death", he used a lot of power. His powerful voice echoed in the hall for a long time, causing the people to tremble in fear. They did not dare to move at all!
"Hmph!" When Song Zhong saw that no one had any objections, he snorted coldly. His expression softened a little, and he said, "Actually, you should be very happy about this result. Because this is the best choice for the Asura Tribe!"
At this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded, "How can letting a little girl who is still wet behind the ears be the Asura King be the best choice? You are obviously patronizing us! "
Although the others did not say anything, it was clear from their expressions that this was what they meant.
Song Zhong was too lazy to find out the identity of this person. He just sneered and said, "I am definitely not patronizing you. Think about it yourselves. If someone else were to be the Asura King, would you be convinced? Without Empress Houtu and me, would they be able to suppress the situation? At that time, the Asura Tribe would fall into a fierce internal war! Are you willing to kill your brothers? Thousands of brothers and sisters kill each other until there is only one left? "
Song Zhong's words immediately caused everyone to reflect. The situation was really as such. Apart from Patriarch Blood River, there was no one in the Asura Tribe who could suppress the others and be called the King.
This was also the result of Patriarch Blood River's many years of hard work. He was afraid that if a powerful second-in-command appeared, they would secretly plot against him and replace him.
In this way, the Asura King's successor was especially difficult to choose. There were dozens of peak Primordial Chaos experts who met the requirements like the Seventh Prince. If there was no strong external force to suppress them, they would definitely fight for the throne. At that time, the Asura World would definitely flow with rivers of blood. Who knew how many people would die tragically?
None of the people present were fools. Naturally, they quickly understood the crux of the matter. They could not help but shudder at the thought of the terrible scene of war raging and corpses strewn all over the place.
Seeing the fear on their faces, Song Zhong nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's why it's best for Xue 'er to become the Asura King. I guarantee that there will be no more disputes in the world. If you don't believe me, you can ask yourselves. Who the hell dares to rebel?"
The surrounding people looked at each other and instantly withered. Rebelling against Shura Xue was rebelling against Song Zhong? That guy could even take care of a Saint level expert. Who would be tired of living to rebel?
"Hehe!" When Song Zhong saw that they were silent, he couldn't help but smile proudly and said, "Look, isn't this good? No one is rebelling, and the world is at peace. You prisoners can also be released. After all, Xue 'er is not Patriarch Blood River. She is kind-hearted and will definitely not bear to see you die of old age on Blood Lotus Island! Isn't this enough to tempt you? "
Hearing what SongZhong said, the surrounding people all revealed a look of deep thought. Indeed, if Shura Xue became the Asura King, with her peace-loving personality, it might have a huge impact on the entire Asura Tribe's policy of expansion.
However, at the same time, the princes and princesses present would be released because of this. If it was a wise and bold ruler, the first thing he would do would probably be to eliminate all threats to the throne. The people present would definitely be purged.
Therefore, from a personal point of view, it might not be a bad thing for Shura Xue to become the Asura King.
Just when everyone was deep in thought, Song Zhong continued, "There is another benefit that you might not realize. After Xue 'er becomes the Asura King, the relationship between the Asura Tribe and the Heavenly Court will be completely eased. At that time, you won't have to be sneaky anymore. You can swagger around the Immortal Realm and play!"
"In addition, there will be a lot of trade between us. The specialties of the Asura Realm are very valuable in the Heavenly Court. At that time, you will all become rich. At that time, you won't have to be envious of me. You can buy whatever you like!" Song Zhong said, "Safety, freedom, and wealth. These are what Xue 'er can bring to everyone when she becomes the Asura King! If you think there is someone more suitable than her, you can mention it now and let me see! "
Song Zhong's words were reasonable, and they were like a sledgehammer that smashed into their hearts. Thinking about it this way, Shura Xue was indeed the most suitable person to become the Asura King. At least, it was the most suitable for their interests.
They could imagine that once Shura Xue became the Asura King, they would be free. They wouldn't have to worry about Shura Xue eliminating their competitors, and they wouldn't have to stay in the Blood Lotus Island all day like prisoners. They would also be able to play freely in the Immortal Realm. In the past, this was a good life that they couldn't even dream of.
Thinking of this, everyone present couldn't help but have some thoughts. Even the Seventh Prince revealed a thoughtful expression. Although he was the most outstanding among these people, he still couldn't compare to his competitors.
After all, they had been outside for many years and had accumulated a lot of connections and subordinates. It was not something that a prisoner like him could compare to. Therefore, if a civil war really broke out, he would most likely be the first to be killed!
Rather than being killed by others, it would be better to let Shura Xue become the Empress. This way, he could at least cultivate in peace. Perhaps when he reached the Emperor Realm, he would have a chance to make a comeback.
