The Great Ancestor, Second Ancestor, and the Third Ancestor were like children who had done something wrong. They all lowered their heads in shame.
Seeing this scene, Wutian was quite surprised. It seemed that this person was the true leader of the Sea Spirit Race.
Moreover, this person should have been cultivating or tempering elsewhere all year round. That was why they hadn't encountered him when they looted the treasure vault.
"Hah, I never thought that the Sea Spirit Race would have fallen to the point of being bullied by a brat who is still wet behind the ears. They don't even dare to fight back. How sad!" The white-clothed old man looked at his clansmen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. His face was filled with sorrow that couldn't be dispelled.
The Great Ancestor hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Old Ancestor, we are incompetent. Please punish us."
"You are indeed incompetent. But from today onwards, I will personally take charge of the Sea Spirit Race. I want to see who dares to bully my clansmen!"
After the white-clothed old man finished speaking, he turned to look at Wutian and the Great Ancestor. His eyes that were filled with vicissitudes of life emitted a piercing sharpness.
"Welcome, Old Ancestor Sea Spirit!"
The Great Ancestor and the others all bowed.
The Sea Spirit clansmen outside the square also bowed in excitement, their expressions incomparably respectful.
The white-clothed old man coldly smiled and looked at Wutian. "You want Nie Qiuyu to be the Patriarch of the Sea Spirit Race, but I won't let you. Now, I announce that Nie Yuzhan will be the next Patriarch."
Nie Yuzhan was wild with joy and hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, Old Ancestor. Yuzhan will not disappoint Old Ancestor."
Looking at Nie Qiuyu again, her expression was calm as usual, as if she didn't care about the position of Patriarch. But if one looked carefully, one could see a trace of disappointment between her eyebrows.
Huff!
Wutian took a deep breath and swept his eyes over the excited crowd. Finally, his gaze locked onto Old Ancestor Sea Spirit. He lightly said, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Cripple him."
Whoosh!
As soon as his voice sounded, the little fellow suddenly disappeared!
Old Ancestor Sea Spirit, who was proud of himself a moment ago, immediately held his stomach and screamed in pain!
The little fellow once again returned to Wutian's shoulder.
"What's going on?"
This sudden scene caused everyone present to be incomparably puzzled.
Why did Patriarch Sea Spirit suddenly begin to scream for no reason?
That's not right. He's holding his abdomen, and there's blood flowing out of it. Could it be … his Sea of Qi has been destroyed?
But, who was it that crippled him?
Zhou Shu and the others looked around in bewilderment.
The Grand Ancestor and the others rushed forward, surrounding Patriarch Sea Spirit in the center. They looked around, their faces full of vigilance.
Huangfu Mingzhu and Ni Yeye looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. They did not see the culprit, but they knew who did it. Looking at the entire scene, only the little fellow had such ability.
Seeing that there was no one else around, the Grand Ancestor looked at Wutian and shouted, "A straightforward person doesn't do underhanded things. Tell me, did you do it?"
Wutian stood up and glanced at the Grand Ancestor and the others. He walked to Nie Qiuyu's side and asked, "Do you wish to inherit the position of Patriarch?"
Nie Qiuyu shook her head and said, "No, because if I become the Patriarch, I will be subject to many restrictions. But I know that if Brother Yuzhan takes over, the Sea Spirit Clan will definitely fall into eternal damnation because of his selfishness …"
Nie Yuzhan said angrily, "Nie Qiuyu, are you still my sister? How can you talk to your own brother like that? Moreover, the Sea Spirit Clan has never had a female as the Patriarch. Don't be wishful thinking. "
"Brother Yuzhan, I don't care how you treat me, but I will not allow you to bring our clan into the abyss of suffering. Moreover, who said that women are inferior to men?"
Nie Qiuyu's eyes flashed with determination. She turned around and knelt before the statue, saying, "Today, I swear in front of the Ancestral Statue that I, Nie Qiuyu, am willing to give up my life and everything to protect my clan and lead the Sea Spirit Clan to open an unprecedented era of glory!"
Boom!
"Ka!"
As soon as these words came out, the sky suddenly changed color. Clouds surged, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. It was like the omen of an immortal god descending to the mortal world!
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked at the sky, their eyes full of shock.
Nie Qiuyu was also bewildered.
"The Ancestral Statue is alive."
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Everyone hurriedly shifted their gazes. The statue was still there, but it was emitting a dazzling light and emitting a terrifying fluctuation of divine power. It was as if it was really going to come back to life.
At this moment, except for Wutian and the others, the entire Sea Spirit Clan knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly!
A palm-sized hexagram flew out from the statue's head and floated in the air. It was overflowing with multicolored light and a rain of light sprinkled down. It was filled with a shocking divinity!
Seeing this object, the three ancestors, ten elders, and even the Patriarch couple were so excited that tears streamed down their faces. It was as if they had seen an incredible treasure.
"Could this be the legendary Ancestral Statue's inheritance?"
Nie Yuzhan and Nie Yufeng looked at the hexagram with shock in their eyes.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the two turned into a stream of light and rushed toward the hexagram.
"Quickly retreat!" The Grand Ancestor hurriedly shouted. However, the two acted as if they did not hear him. Their faces were filled with greed and desire.
"Looks like it was a mistake not to kill you two two thousand years ago." Wutian snorted coldly, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. However, just as he was about to make a move, the hexagram turned into a divine rainbow and merged with Nie Qiuyu's head.
"How could this be?"
Seeing this scene, Nie Yuzhan and Nie Yufeng were dumbfounded. Disbelief was written all over their faces. Suddenly, the two of them lunged at Nie Qiuyu like crazy.
"Get lost!"
The Grand Ancestor roared and blocked in front of Nie Qiuyu. His divine power roared out, and the two of them were imprisoned in the void!
Then, the Grand Ancestor turned around and knelt in front of Nie Qiuyu, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Patriarch."
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, and the ten elders all bowed.
Even Nie Qiuyu's biological parents, the Patriarch couple, also knelt on the ground.
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Wutian and the rest looked at each other in dismay. Their minds were filled with doubts. Nie Qiuyu herself was also shocked, and she didn't know what to do.
After the hexagram merged with Nie Qiuyu's head, the divine statue's light gradually dimmed down. The strange phenomenon in the sky also gradually disappeared, and the world returned to normal. Nothing seemed to have changed, but those who were more attentive noticed that Nie Qiuyu's body was now filled with a holy aura.
These attentive people were none other than Wutian and the rest. Right now, they all had a very real feeling. Nie Qiuyu seemed to have transformed into an inviolable goddess, imperceptibly exuding a noble, holy, and otherworldly temperament.
Looking at Ancestor Sea Spirit, he was also dumbfounded.
"That's right, this is the Primogenitor's inheritance mark. The Sea Spirit Race finally has a true leader."
Ancestor Sea Spirit's spirit rose, and he scrambled to Nie Qiuyu's side. He bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Patriarch."
"This …"
Even the Old Ancestor was bowing to her. When had Nie Qiuyu ever seen such a scene? She was completely stunned, and she didn't know what to do.
Wutian said with a voice transmission, "Let them get up first."
Nie Qiuyu looked at her gratefully, and then she hugged Ancestor Sea Spirit's arm and said, "Old Ancestor, quickly get up. Great Ancestor, you all, father, mother, you all quickly get up too!"
Ancestor Sea Spirit said, "Patriarch, I have offended you before, and I ask for your forgiveness. Before I get your forgiveness, I don't dare to get up."
The Great Ancestor and the others were also indifferent.
"Old Ancestor, you … you are purposely making things difficult for Qiuyu!"
Nie Qiuyu was anxious. After all, she was only a junior, and the people kneeling in front of her were all elders that she respected greatly. They were even her parents who raised her. How could she accept such an immoral act? She couldn't help but look at Wutian, and there was a pleading look in her eyes.
Wutian pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at Her Highness Snow Orchid. After all, she was the main character, and he had to ask for her permission.
"Why didn't you ask me before?" Her Highness Snow Orchid grumbled in dissatisfaction, and then she nodded.
After receiving instructions, Wutian walked to Nie Qiuyu's side. He swept his eyes over Ancestor Sea Spirit and the others, and lightly said, "Tell me the reason first."
Ancestor Sea Spirit said, "Young Master Wutian, you might not know, but the statue behind you was personally sculpted by the ancestor, and he left behind a legacy. The statue contains his inheritance mark, and as long as one obtains his inheritance, they will become the true leader of the Sea Spirit race, and all of our people must follow them for life. However, for countless years, the successive Patriarchs have not been able to open the inheritance. Gradually, we thought that it was just a legend, and we never thought that it would appear today, and we never thought that the true leader would be a woman. "
Wutian said, "I don't like what you're saying. So what if she is a woman? Isn't the Demon Lord also a woman, and yet she is inferior to men? "
Ancestor Sea Spirit anxiously said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong in this matter. I apologize, and I ask the Patriarch to forgive me."
Nie Qiuyu smiled. "Old Ancestor, I'm not angry at all. Hurry up and get up."
But the group was still indifferent.
Wutian shook his head. "Right now, they will only listen to you if you order them."
Nie Qiuyu said, "That's not good!"
Wutian smiled. "You are now the Patriarch of the Sea Spirit race. If you don't have any prestige, how will you lead the Sea Spirit race in the future and open up a glorious era?"
"That seems to make sense."
Nie Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, and then her expression turned solemn. She shouted, "I order all of you to get up immediately!"
"Yes!"
Ancestor Sea Spirit and the others respectfully replied. Then, they all stood up and took the initiative to stand behind Nie Qiuyu.
"It really works?" Nie Qiuyu was a bit dazed.
Wutian shook his head and laughed. Nie Qiuyu had just been promoted, and she was still unable to adapt to such treatment. As time passed, she would slowly get used to it. He looked around, and there seemed to be nothing left for him to do here, so he turned and returned to his seat. Huangfu Mingzhu immediately looked over and said sourly, "One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions."
"Eh!"
Wutian was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to grab her hand and said with a smile, "I said that I won't disturb her life, and I definitely won't."
Originally, he planned to use force to push Nie Qiuyu to the position of Patriarch, but there was a huge risk in doing so. For example, after he left, who could guarantee that Ancestor Sea Spirit would not do something stupid?
