Chapter 119: Two Heroes Compete, Ancestor Appears

  Xuanyuan heard Feng Hou and others introduce the current situation of the human tribe, the rise of the Lie Shan clan's Shen Nong tribe, the contributions of the Lie Shan clan to the human tribe, and the crisis facing the You Xiong tribe. Xuanyuan understood the crisis he and the You Xiong tribe were facing, but was not very worried.

  In Xuan Yuan's mind, these crises were only present when he was not out of the pass. Now that he is out of the pass, the situation is naturally different. Xuan Yuan understands that in the Hong Huang world, the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon. Xuan Yuan believes that with his quasi-saint realm and his prestige among humans, he is not someone who can be compared to Lie Shan's cultivation, which has not even reached the Tian Xian stage.

  Of course, since he understood the ins and outs of the matter, Xuan Yuan would not let it develop further to threaten himself. After all, Lie Shan Shi was not to be feared, what was fearsome was that behind Lie Shan Shi there was the support of various powers, among which the largest was naturally Huan Cheng Zi of the Yan Sect. However, Xuan Yuan did not believe that this backing would only be a Yan Sect force, after all, he had offended many forces in the past, and so many human tribe rebellions, if there were no other forces involved, Xuan Yuan would not have believed it.

  Xuanyuan had to take action against the forces behind, he was no longer the Xuanyuan that all parties supported at first, and these people were already standing on the opposite side of him, even his teacher Liu Meixian might not help him, only relying on himself.

  Xuanyuan hastily ordered the convening of a human conference to jointly discuss the future of humanity, to demonstrate his own existence, and also prepare to show off his strength at the meeting, intimidating everyone, suppressing the restless forces such as Lie Shan's clan, making them understand that their common master Xuanyuan was still there, not someone they could compare to.

  Everything is proceeding according to Huangdi's plan. Although countless major and minor forces have surrendered to the Shennong clan, Huangdi is still the nominal co-ruler of the human tribe. And although his prestige has declined somewhat over the years, not matching that of Lishan, some residual influence remains. At this time, what Huangdi orders in the name of justice for the human tribe is something that even Lishan cannot lightly oppose.

  Countless powerful beings saw the Shennong Lie Shan clan participate in this gathering, and naturally there was no reason not to attend. From then on, the first grand gathering of the human tribe since the closure of the Xuanyuan was unfolded, with over a thousand Daluo Jinxian-level guardians and the leaders of the top 1,000 tribes of the human race gathered together.

  The grand gathering of the human tribe was held smoothly, and everyone first paid their respects to Xuan Yuan, the nominal co-master of the human tribe. As the host, Xuan Yuan spoke first: "Generals and leaders, I was busy with my cultivation and neglected government affairs, leaving Feng Hou and others to handle matters related to the human tribe, which led to the disaster that befell our tribe in the beginning. I take responsibility for this here and now, and I say 'I'm sorry'. The famine of the previous master was resolved because our human tribe had a capable person like Shen Nong Li Shan who could share my worries."

  After the frequent occurrence of human diseases, it was Shennong Lishan who tried hundreds of years to control the disease. Lishan is my right-hand man and I appreciate his help. I have decided to promote Lishan as the first elder of our tribe, second only to me, to assist me in handling state affairs. I hope Lishan will continue to make outstanding contributions for me, and all generals and leaders should follow his example to share my worries and difficulties. At that time, I will surely reward him heavily." After Huangdi finished speaking, he deliberately suppressed the atmosphere with his quasi-sacred aura to match his identity.

  The people present were originally still wondering why Xuan Yuan was constantly praising Lie Shan's merits, but later many thoughtful people of the human tribe understood that Xuan Yuan was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. On the surface, he praised Lie Shan, but in reality, if Lie Shan accepted the position of First Elder given by Xuan Yuan, it would spread throughout the human tribe and people would think that Lie Shan was helping Xuan Yuan to alleviate his worries and was rewarded by him for doing so. At that time, people would attribute Lie Shan's achievements over the years to Xuan Yuan.

  Xuanyuan will undeservedly gain this achievement, be recognized by the human tribe, and his prestige will spread throughout the human tribe again. At that time, the tribes that refused to surrender to Xuanyuan will rejoin the Youxiong tribe, and the Shennong tribe will be in danger.

  As Xuan Yuan's words became clearer, the human elites present naturally understood Xuan Yuan's motives and wanted to oppose him. However, Xuan Yuan suppressed the entire scene with his quasi-saintly aura, making it difficult for anyone to speak out against him. Those who wanted to oppose him would have to face Xuan Yuan's quasi-saintly pressure.

  Many people saw Xuan Yuan's powerful cultivation and lost the thought of competing with him, but many close friends of the Shen Nong tribe saw that if things continued like this, they feared that the Shen Nong tribe would decline again soon. A few people understood that they couldn't wait any longer, among them a Da Luo Jinxian peak expert immediately used secret methods to forcefully raise his own cultivation, breaking through Xuan Yuan's suppression in a short time.

  "This is a difficult path to take, Xuan Yuan Gong Zhu. Your cultivation is strong, but we are not your match. However, since you're obsessed with cultivation and women, why can't you step down and let someone more capable take the throne? You've already acknowledged Shennong Lishan's achievements, so if you agree, all the tribal elites present here will support it. No one would oppose it, right? Then, Xuan Yuan Gong Zhu, you can focus on your cultivation without being disturbed by worldly matters. The human tribe can also reach new heights under Shennong Lishan's rule."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately spat out a mouthful of heart's blood. Many of the Lie Shan clan's supporters joined forces to support Xuan Yuan's quasi-saintly pressure. A few Da Luo Golden Immortals might not be able to withstand Xuan Yuan's quasi-saintly pressure, but what about ten or a hundred?

  Finally, more than 600 town guards and over 700 tribal leaders chose to join Lie Shan's camp, jointly resisting the pressure of Xuan Yuan. Nearly a thousand people, including Da Luo Jinxian, released their momentum together, cooperating with each other, forming an aura that was not inferior to Xuan Yuan's quasi-saint aura. Under the collective attack of this thousand-strong aura, Xuan Yuan's aura retreated step by step.

  Just as Xuan Yuan's momentum was about to be dispersed, his supporters also released their own momentum, helping Xuan Yuan resist the incoming momentum. The remaining two hundred or so town guards and two hundred or so group leaders were basically all Xuan Yuan's supporters, unwilling to see Xuan Yuan lose face, and lent a hand as soon as he showed signs of weakness.

  The entire human race was filled with gunpowder from the beginning of the conference. The two forces, represented by Xuan Yuan and Lie Shan, officially started their confrontation for the first time. Only a few dozen people in the audience had not expressed their opinions, but they were wavering between the two sides, on the one hand thinking of Xuan Yuan's past achievements in leading the human race to conquer heaven and earth, and on the other hand being moved by Lie Shan's contributions to the human race over the years.

  Just as both sides were about to clash, it was feared that a slight disagreement would lead to an internal war among humans. As these people were hesitating, three men and two women suddenly appeared outside the venue. Many people had already seen the faces of the newcomers and came forward to pay their respects.

  Xuanyuan took a look at the cultivation of the people coming, and found that there wasn't a single one he could see clearly, which shocked him greatly. Although he didn't recognize one of the men, the remaining three ancestors of the human tribe - Youchao, Suiren, and Zhurong - as well as his own teacher, Liu Meixian, were all familiar to him.

  Youchao, Suiren and Xiangyishi were established as the three ancestors of the human race. They had already obtained the position of quasi-sage, but it was hard to understand their cultivation level. However, their teacher at that time was also a Daluo Jinxian, just like themselves. Originally, they thought they had obtained the position of quasi-sage, but unexpectedly, their teacher had also obtained the position of quasi-sage and seemed even stronger than them.

  Originally, Liu Mei was furious at Xuan Yuan's actions and wanted to teach him a lesson. However, without the Wuji Decree, she couldn't leave Penglai Island, so she could only close up and cultivate, accumulating years of anger that couldn't be vented. With her deep foundation, plus the heavenly luck from being Taishang Shengren's disciple, Wuji servant girl, and Xuan Yuan's teacher, she surprisingly didn't use the Gongde Killing Sword to get rid of the evil corpse and advance to Quasi-Saint.

  Willow's progress in the Saint Realm caused a stir that naturally shocked Feng Qiu and the other three women outside. In the midst of their shock and admiration, they stared at Willow's closed-door cultivation place. The commotion lasted for several months before disappearing. Willow emerged from her seclusion with an elegant demeanor, and the three women naturally congratulated her.

  Liu Mei didn't expect that she would be able to easily behead the evil corpse because of Xuan Yuan's great wickedness. Now Liu Mei knows how to deal with Xuan Yuan, first because Xuan Yuan is her own disciple, secondly because Xuan Yuan's great wickedness has chilled Liu Mei's heart. In the end, Liu Mei still used the excuse of consolidating her cultivation to retreat and cultivate in seclusion.

  But just after Huangdi ordered the gathering of the human race, Guang Chengzi, as the teacher of Lie Shan Shi, was worried that Huangdi would be unfavorable to Lie Shan Shi at the meeting, so he asked his own teacher Yuan Shi Tian Zun for advice. Although Yuan Shi Tian Zun was dissatisfied with Guang Chengzi's handling of things without his own initiative, Guang Chengzi had no choice but to consider it.

  The grand gathering of the human tribe is a matter for the human tribe. If Yuanshi Tianzun wants to intervene, it would be inappropriate and unseemly. It must be done by someone from the human tribe or the Human Teachings. After Yuanshi Tianzun found Taishang Shengren and expressed his concerns, he hoped that Taishang Shengren could help him out.

  Yuanshi Tianzun could have found Wuji to help, but Yuanshi Tianzun's fondness for Wujie is one thing, and wanting Yuanshi Tianzun to bow down and ask Wujie for help is another. Moreover, what Guangchengzi is doing now can be said to be undermining Wujie.

  The Supreme Sage heard that the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign had arrived, and although his face showed no expression, he was secretly very pleased. His own brother and his own disciple were competing in a magical duel, and they actually came to ask for his help. This could only mean that his disciple was formidable, and his teaching methods were effective.

  Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Taishang Shengren's face was expressionless, but in his heart, he must have been overjoyed. However, when it came to choosing between Wuji and Taishang Shengren, Yuanshi Tianzun still chose to bow his head to Taishang Shengren.
