The newly appointed Azure Dragon was considered one of the most powerful among the spiritual beasts, but he was still lacking compared to the other two. In a one-on-one fight, the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise could kill him. Only by joining forces with the Vermillion Bird might they be able to fight the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise to a draw.
As a result, the four elders were more or less divided. The White Tiger and the Black Tortoise were slightly more powerful than the Vermillion Bird, so the Vermillion Bird promoted the new Azure Dragon. The two sides were balanced once again. Overall, the Vermillion Bird had the upper hand, so he could become the leader of the spiritual beasts.
"Since everyone's here, let's begin." The Vermillion Bird stretched out his finger and gently tapped the table, acting like a host.
"Elder Vermillion Bird, there's actually no need for this meeting. After the coronation ceremony, the Great King will have the ability to manage all the affairs of the spiritual beasts. In the future, we only need to follow orders. Don't you think what I said makes sense?" The bald-headed Black Tortoise smiled kindly and wanted to set the tone for the meeting.
"Elder Black Tortoise, you're wrong. Although the Great King has been crowned, he's still young and lacks both power and experience. If he rashly takes control of the spiritual beasts, I'm afraid that he won't be able to do what he wants. What I think is that Elder Vermillion Bird should temporarily take over the position of Regent and continue to manage the spiritual beasts until the Great King truly matures." The Azure Dragon was an elder who had been promoted by the Vermillion Bird. Naturally, he would take on the role of leading the charge for the Vermillion Bird.
The Vermillion Bird sat there calmly. He knew that it would be troublesome for him to continue to control the spiritual beasts after the coronation ceremony. However, he never thought that the Black Tortoise would jump out and object before the meeting could even begin.
"Azure Dragon Elder, strength and experience need to be accumulated. It is precisely because of this that after the King is crowned, he should come into contact with and handle more affairs. If everything is handled by the Vermillion Bird Elder, when will the King be able to grow? I think Elder Black Tortoise's words make sense. After the coronation ceremony, the Great King should start to take over the spiritual beasts and learn to handle the clan's affairs. With the few of us assisting him, there shouldn't be any problems. " White Tiger's voice was just like his appearance, full of energy and abnormally loud. Those who didn't know him would think that he was quarreling, but in fact, he was just speaking normally.
"Elder White Tiger, before this, Elder Vermillion Bird has always been handling the clan's affairs. Not only has he managed everything in an orderly manner, he has also led the spiritual beast clan to achieve a great expansion. Putting aside this achievement, at least it proves that Elder Vermillion Bird's leadership is not wrong. This is a rare opportunity for the spiritual beast clan. It's the right thing to hand over power to the Great King. However, as you've said, the Great King needs time to grow while the spiritual beast clan does not have that much time to develop. Elder Vermillion Bird will temporarily lead us to develop. Once the Great King has grown to a sufficient level, we will return the power to the Great King. This is our responsibility towards the entire spiritual beast clan!" The Azure Dragon was very impassioned as he spoke righteously. In short, it was an absolute mistake to ask the Vermillion Bird to hand over her power!
"Elder Azure Dragon, don't distort the truth!" The Black Tortoise put away the kind look on his face and smiled icily at the Azure Dragon. "I don't deny that Elder Vermillion Bird has done a good job. However, when the Great King takes over the reins of power after the coronation ceremony, with the help of the few of us, he might be able to do a better job. After all, Elder Vermillion Bird is also one of the assistants and he won't just stand by and watch. Could it be that Elder Vermillion Bird's talents can only be used when he is in power and will disappear after the Great King has taken over the reins of power? "
"Alright, everyone, be quiet. This is a meeting between the Four Great Elders, it's not for you to argue!" The Vermillion Bird knocked his knuckles heavily on the table a few times as he spoke calmly. It was as if he had not been the center of the argument between the other three.
"Elder Vermillion Bird, do you have something to say?" The Black Tortoise turned to look at the Vermillion Bird. He knew who was the most important person here.
In fact, with the Vermillion Bird's strength and prestige in the spirit beast clan, it was not impossible for him to forcibly become the new spirit beast king. However, with the presence of the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger, if he did so, it would inevitably cause a division or even civil war in the spirit beast clan. For the ambitious Vermillion Bird, this was obviously unacceptable.
"Elders, after the coronation ceremony, the Great King will naturally participate in the affairs of the clan. However, now that our business is relatively large, it will not be so easy to straighten it out at once. The Great King's strength is currently in a period of rapid improvement, it will not be beneficial for him to be distracted by a large number of trivial matters. It is not that I, the Vermillion Bird, yearn for power, but for the Great King, it is the right thing to let the Great King cultivate and improve his strength first. After all, the strength of the spirit beast clan is survival of the fittest. The strength of the spirit beast king is too weak, just his bloodline alone cannot convince the masses." The Vermillion Bird's voice was not loud, but it was very imposing. For a moment, the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise also fell silent.
The strength of the spirit beast king was indeed a weakness. Although he had made great progress with the help of a secret method, he was only at the Mysterious Ascension Stage. Not to mention the four great elders, any small leader would be stronger than the spirit beast king.
Of course, with the help of the suppression of the bloodline, among the spirit beast clan, the spirit beast king could be invincible among the same level and sweep across the ranks. However, with the bloodline of the four great elders, this kind of suppression would be greatly weakened. Only when the strength of the spirit beast king was at the same level could he have an advantage.
Since the Vermillion Bird used this point to speak, neither the Black Tortoise nor the White Tiger could refute it for a while. However, this did not mean that they had to admit that the Vermillion Bird continued to rule the spirit beast clan.
"Elder Vermillion Bird's words make sense, but there is not much conflict between the Great King's cultivation and his power. Everything, the Great King can let us deal with it. As for how to arrange it, it is up to the Great King, not any of us! There is no need to bother the Great King with small matters, and report the important matters to the Great King. Wouldn't there be no problem in this way? "The Black Tortoise thought for a while and finally proposed a method that he thought was feasible.
In fact, in the end, he could not let the Vermillion Bird be the only one in power!
A faintly discernible sneer appeared on the corners of the Vermillion Bird's mouth. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to obtain the complete spiritual beast clan, he wouldn't have bothered with these two conservative old fogies. In fact, he was the one who had supported the spiritual beast king and he had also agreed to the coronation ceremony. Even if the spiritual beast king were to gain power, he would not be able to escape his control in the end.
