Talk about bragging, why do you really have the qualifications of a great emperor?

Chapter 254: Retaliating directly!Please don't go gentle into that good night! (7600 words)
"Crazy, he is absolutely crazy!"

Everyone was talking in shock, looking at Xiangshan with confusion and disbelief in their eyes.

The dignified ninth son of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan, a pure-blooded creature.

Even though he is not very popular in the clan, he is still a demon above all demons. He was born to be a superior. The gap between him and the strange demon is as thick as clouds and mud. Why should he bear the whipping for a strange demon?
The most important thing is that they clearly don't know each other and this is the first time they meet.

It doesn’t look like the old one at all!
"Young Master..." The strange demon who was protected by Xiang Shan was also stunned. He looked at this scene stupidly, as if he was in a daze, his mind went blank, and he didn't understand why Xiang Shan did what he did.

Only the dozen geniuses who came with Xiang Shan and the hundreds of strange demons who had just been rescued from the Demon Fighting Arena roughly understood what he was doing!
"Young Master is so kind! He is personally practicing what he insists on. The equality of all demons begins with him!"

"Ninth Young Master is truly the best devil in the world!"

"We can't call him Ninth Young Master anymore. It's derogatory. He should be called the Pope!"

The demons were talking a lot, with tears in their eyes. They just felt that they had followed the right person. Xiangshan was using himself to practice the Bible passed down by Lord Nicholas.

"Xiang Shan, what are you going to do?" Jue Yuan stared at Xiang Shan, feeling that he suddenly couldn't understand this young man who had been given up on training by the Earth Demon Elephant Clan!
"If you haven't vented all the anger in your heart, you can continue!" Xiang Shan let out a long breath, ignoring the scars on his body, staring at Jue Yuan, his eyes calm, and his body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible light.

"Madman, what a madman... If you want to protect this bitch, go ahead and protect him, I don't want him anymore!" Jueyuan cursed, dropped his whip, and turned away.

It was impossible for him to really attack Xiangshan like this. The whipping was an accident, but if he continued to hit Xiangshan, even if Xiangshan didn't resist, the Earth Demon Elephant Clan behind him was not a vegetarian!

It's up to the owner to beat the dog.

What's more, Xiangshan is a direct bloodline of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan. He was once the most dazzling genius, but it has dimmed later. Even if his achievements in the future are not the No. 1 among the younger generation, he will definitely become a high-level person and the top powerhouse of the clan. .

If it were a fair fight, it would be fine, but if you are not as skilled as others, it would make no sense wherever you go.

But Xiangshan, the lunatic, had no intention of fighting back. He even removed the demonic energy protection, looking like he was looking for death.

If he really died in his hands, he would not be able to repay this blood debt!
Jue Yuan left, cursing and seemingly irritable, but in the eyes of everyone, he seemed to be running away in a hurry.

"Master Pope!"

"Son!"

Behind him, a group of strange demons gathered around him, concerned about Xiang Shan's injury.

He took that whip for real. The other party struck him in anger, but he showed no intention of resisting. The blow was until the skin and flesh were torn apart, and the wound was so deep that even the bones were visible. It was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, Xiangshan's physical strength is not low to begin with.

Silently circulating the demonic energy, after a while, the injury was relieved a lot.

"Master risked his life to save me. Chi Huo is extremely grateful and doesn't know how to repay me! From now on, my life belongs to you, Master. No matter what you want me to do, I will never say anything!" The rescued man The eyes of the strange demon filled with tears. For the first time in his life, he felt the feeling of being cared for and protected. He only felt a warm current flowing through his body.

"What about repayment? What you should be more happy about is that you are free from now on!" Xiangshan said with a smile.

"Young master...why do you want to help me?" The strange demon named Chi Huo asked again. He still couldn't understand this question. After all, he had no connection with Xiangshan, so how could He De allow him to help?
The surrounding demons also pricked up their ears and stared at Xiangshan, expecting his answer.

They also want to know the answer.

"We are both fallen demons from the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before? We are the suffering beings in the demon world. Born in this vast world, we are like mayflies and have no control over our lives! If we don't help our own people, who can we expect to help? What about us? Are we a foreign race?"

The words were neither loud nor soft.

It was just enough to reach the ears of all the demons who were watching, and they felt a shock in their minds and their scalps were numb.

We are both fallen demons at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before?

"Well said, well said!"

"The Ninth Young Master of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan has great wisdom! These words really speak to our hearts!"

"We demons are just trying to survive at the bottom. We should support each other and help each other in order to go further!"

"It's a pity that there are too few people who understand this truth. Those who have stepped out from among us have become successful, but in turn they bully our own people and sincerely treat others as dogs..."

Everyone was talking fiercely and their bodies were trembling. They felt that Xiangshan's words reached the depths of their hearts and touched their souls.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first!" Xiang Shan stood up, bowed to the people around him, and then took the people away.

However, the next moment.

Pfft!
"Young master, please accept us. From now on, our body will be your body, and our soul will also be your soul. No words will be spoken to you!" A demon knelt down and threw his voice loudly. .

"The same goes for me! Ninth Young Master, please accept me. Although I am average in strength, I am thick-skinned and thick-skinned. I can protect you from death!" A bull-headed demon said with a urn.

Plop plop!
More and more people knelt down, as if it was contagious. Before long, more than [-]% of the strange demons on the street knelt down, begging Xiangshan to take them under his command.

They are sober and know their destiny from the moment they are born.

Or die in a fight.

Or die under the mercy of noble gentlemen.

From the moment they appear in this world, the only meaning for most of them is to wait for death.

He was going to die anyway, to die for other noble lords. They still didn't regard themselves as demons, and they punched, kicked, and humiliated him in all kinds of ways.

Originally, these were normal and they didn't think there was anything wrong.

Because everyone is like this.

But today, someone suddenly stood up and told them that all of this... was wrong!

In this world, all living beings are equal.

Purebloods and true demons are no more advanced than humans.

It’s not just the strange demons who can block the death of pure-blooded gentlemen. It turns out that a high-ranking pure-blooded gentleman can also block the whip of a lowly strange demon!
I will die for such a pure-blood master, even if I die... I will die willingly.

After all, he really regards his group as demons!
"I have no shortage of followers, and I don't want all of you to give up your freedom and live and die for others as your lifelong pursuit~"

Xiangshan looked at the demons around him and said righteously: "What is a demon? Doing whatever the heart desires is persistence, belief, and strength... You should go your own way!"

He spoke frankly, but most of the people present did not understand what he meant. They just stood there blankly, knowing that they had just been rejected.

After saying these words, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

Everyone looked at his leaving back, you looked at me, I looked at you, his words echoed in their minds, rumbling like spring thunder.

……

The news quickly spread throughout Sanyuan City.

Not long after, everyone in the city heard that the Ninth Young Master of the Earth Demon Elephant Tribe not only rescued a group of strange demons who were supposed to die in a fight from the Demon Arena, but also rescued a man who was being flogged on the street. The follower of the strange demon even used his own body to block the whip for that unrelated strange demon.

The entire city was shaken.

Like a violent earthquake, countless powerful people from major families looked sideways.

"Is that kid from the Earth Demon Elephant Clan crazy?"

"I heard that he said on the street that all demons are equal, and there is no distinction between strange demons, pure bloods, and even real demons!"

"It's a joke. These are rebellious words, words that go against the devil!"

"His move seems to be trying to win people's hearts!"

"Buying people's hearts? What's the use of buying people's hearts from a group of strange demons?" A strong man sneered, completely disdainful of this.

The reason why the alien demons have a low status is because their bloodline is messy and their strength is weak. Not only does their strength increase slowly, but even the strong alien demons who have survived for a long time will only be crushed when they encounter pure-blooded creatures in the same realm. .

No chance of winning.

The bloodline is suppressed to death!
Even if all the strange demons in Sanyuan City were gathered under Xiang Shan's command, what could they do?
Even the newly born demons know this truth.

Can Xiangshan not be clear?
"It's probably a farce, just watch it!"

"These children are very playful. I don't know what they are playing with. Maybe they will be fine in a few days!"

"Hahaha, it's really interesting. All demons are equal? ​​Hahaha..."

Some people laughed loudly and heartily, thinking it was a rare joke and a great drink.

……

"I'll wait for the oath!"

"I'll wait for the oath!"

"Voluntarily join the Ancestral Demon Cult!"

"Voluntarily join the Ancestral Demon Cult!"

"Resolutely follow the teachings of Demon Ancestor, follow the guidance of the Bible, and devote your life to resisting oppression, inequality, and exploitation! Work hard to create a harmonious and beautiful demon world~"

"Resolutely follow the teachings of Demon Ancestor, follow the guidance of the Bible, and devote your life to resisting oppression, inequality, and exploitation! Work hard to create a harmonious and beautiful demon world~"

"Don't be afraid of sacrifice, don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of power!"

"Don't be afraid of sacrifice, don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of power!"

"This oath will be heard by heaven and earth, witnessed by the demons, and listened to by all mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the sea!"

"This oath will be heard by heaven and earth, witnessed by the demons, and listened to by all mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the sea!"

Outside Sanyuan City, in that remote cave.

Hundreds of strange demons stood there neatly with solemn expressions, following Xiangshan's oath to truly join the Ancestral Demon Sect from today on!
Buzz!
In an instant, blood light was like a vast ocean, beating in the night, shining brightly, and was extremely spectacular, covering everyone.

Everyone has taken the oath of hard work.

No matter what happens, we will never betray each other and never change our original intention today!
Xiangshan stood on a high place, looking at the neat figures below, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Senior Nicholas, have you seen it?

With your expectations and guidance, I am completing it step by step!

There were many people on the street today who said they wanted to follow him, but he did not absorb them all into the Ancestral Demon Cult. That would be too risky. He is not yet ready to control so many followers.

Furthermore, he has no intention of completely exposing the Ancestral Demon Sect to the sun.

After all, the right to speak in this world is still in the hands of those strong people, and there are many things they cannot do now.

In other words, the higher-ups of the demon clan allowed an organization like the Ancestral Demon Sect to exist because they felt that it was a small fight that would not shake their status and was just a joke.

But if they openly confront those big clans, it goes without saying that the Ancestral Demon Sect will definitely fall apart.

They have absolutely no such confidence now.

If Xiangshan had reached this stage before, it would have been confused and not sure how to continue developing.

But last night, Nicholas found him and gave him new guidance. At this moment, he was full of confidence and had a clear path for the future.

……

Leave the Ancestral Demon Sect’s residence.

Xiangshan returned to the clan.

The yard was dark, without lights or fire.

The night wind was like a knife, the trees were rustling, and even the weeds in the corner of the yard were bent, as if they were surrendering.

Xiangshan stopped, looked into the night, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Sixth Brother!"

Whoa!
The wind became louder.

A figure walked out slowly, tall and cold, like cold iron without emotion, exuding a chilling aura.

His body surface was covered with a rich layer of magic light.

Coming with demonic energy on his feet, he was like a demon lord in the abyss, with terrifying aura.

The sixth son of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan, Xiang Yuan!
The No. 1 of the younger generation, the hope of the family, has been selected to participate in the ritual ceremony of gods and demons. He has an unparalleled honor. His name will be recorded in the ancient monument of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan and will be remembered forever.

Xiang Yuan said nothing, and looked at Xiangshan quietly, with his hands behind his back, his expression as cold as a piece of ice.

His aura was powerful, like a stormy sea, constantly beating over him.

The night wind whistled in the courtyard, the cold wind was like a knife, and countless weeds were broken by the invisible breath, turned into powder, and dissipated in the night.

Xiang Shan always looked calm, dressed in hunting clothes, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Six has become more and more powerful. He is indeed the hope of our clan!"

Xiang Yuan's expression finally changed. He looked at his younger brother and felt a little strange: "I guess you are much stronger, otherwise you wouldn't be so bold!"

Xiangshan said: "Why did Sixth Brother say this?"

Xiang Yuan said coldly: "The Demon Fighting Field in the city was built with the joint support of the three clans including us. Aren't you brave enough to destroy your own family's place?"

Xiangshan chuckled: "So this is what Sixth Brother was talking about!"

Xiang Yuan said: "Have you already thought of a reason to excuse yourself?" Xiang Shan shook his head: "Why do you want to excuse yourself? I did this, and I don't think I did anything wrong!"

Xiang Yuan frowned and said nothing.

Xiang Shan continued: "We are all demons, why should we sit back and watch or even take action to do these things that harm our fellow clansmen?"

Xiang Yuan sneered: "Do you regard those lowly alien demons as your own kind? Others say you are crazy, but I still don't believe it. Now it seems... that's really the case!"

Xiangshan said: "You should know that I'm not crazy, I'm just sober!"

Xiang Yuan said: "This world has always been like this, your so-called sobriety has no meaning!"

Xiang Shan said firmly: "It's always been this way, but that doesn't mean it's right!"

Xiang Yuan quickly said: "What does it matter whether it is correct or not?"

silence.

The two of them fell into silence at the same time, and even the wind in the yard became quiet.

It was suffocatingly quiet.

a long time.

Xiang Shan looked at the other party deeply and suddenly sighed: "Senior Nicholas is indeed right. The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, it is difficult to move!"

"Nicholas? The one who wrote the storybook? Have you been in contact with him?" Xiang Yuan frowned. Although he rarely read the storybook, he knew that this name had caused huge waves in the past few days, and the entire Sanyuan City was in a storm. center.

Countless ancient clans tried their best to find that person, even digging three feet without success.

He even put down his things quietly in front of many strong men, and came and went freely without disturbing any formations, so he was severely slapped in the face.

This man is so mysterious, like a ghost and a god, elusive.

I don’t know what kind of means there are.

It just so happens that he carries a secret. He obviously has good means, but he is willing to lower his status and write some stories for the entertainment of the people at the bottom.

The top leaders of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan have discussed that the water is too muddy. Although their family has some background, if they get involved, they are likely to be robbed.

Xiang Yuan did not expect that his younger brother would actually come into contact with Nicholas.

Think again of his recent weird behavior.

Xiang Yuan's pupils narrowed and he said word by word: "Did he instigate you to do these things?"

Xiang Shan said slowly: "Rather than instigating me, it's better to open my eyes and see the sky clearly. All choices are made by myself!"

Xiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did he say to you?"

Xiangshan responded: "He told me that the devil wants to live for himself. The world should be colorful and diverse, and should not be like a pool of stagnant water. The strong are always strong and the weak are always weak. There are no surprises at all...stagnant water will stink, even if This pool of stagnant water is huge, as big as the entire demon world!"

Xiang Yuan sneered, noncommittal: "It's really the words of a madman, do you believe it?"

Xiang Shan said nothing, silence was the answer.

Xiang Yuan asked again: "Then the so-called Ancestral Demon Sect was also your work? What do you want to do?"

Xiangshan looked calm: "They are just a group of poor people, just joining the group to keep warm!"

Xiang Yuan's smile became even colder: "As a descendant of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan, you keep warm with a group of alien demons? You have completely embarrassed our tribe! Besides, you don't really think that a group of alien demons are gathering together." What's the use of being together? It's just changing from a waste to a group of wastes!"

Xiangshan's expression was calm, and his words showed a Zen feeling: "A drop of water can penetrate a stone, and a trickle of water can become a sea. This truth should be difficult for you to understand!"

"I'm not interested in arguing with you anymore! You've violated the clan rules, and I'm here to get you! Are you going to subdue the law on your own, or do you have to struggle for a while?"

Xiang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, tall and tall, looking sideways at Xiang Mountain, extremely proud.

He certainly has the right to be proud. It is no exaggeration to say that if you look at the younger generation of the major pure-blood families in Sanyuan City, no one can be his opponent.

His pure blood and strong strength have been rare among the Earth Demon Elephant Clan for hundreds of years.

Xiangshan might have been qualified to fight him in the past, but since he was severely injured that year, his strength has completely failed to keep up, and it is impossible to defeat him.

Xiangshan said nothing and calmly took a step forward.

boom!
In an instant, Xiang Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot, struck preemptively, and appeared on the top of Xiangshan Mountain as if teleporting. His expression was indifferent, and his whole body was full of demonic aura. He was like an ancient demon, bathed in the vast demonic light, and fell with a palm.

His strength was so strong that this palm seemed to seal off the world, with unimaginable power squeezing from all directions.

It seemed as if Xiangshan was going to be completely crushed.

boom!
At this moment, Xiangshan raised his hand and punched out.

The monstrous demonic energy gathered behind him and turned into a terrifying ancient demonic elephant, covering the sky and the sun, containing supreme power. Chaos and mist emerged, and the demonic energy was monstrous, like lightning flashing across the sky one after another, as if the world was created.

Xiang Yuan's pupils shrank, feeling unprecedented terror.

The giant force strikes.

He didn't have time to resist, before he was directly blasted away, creating a deep hole in the ground.

"How is that possible?" Xiang Yuan raised his head among the ruins and looked at Xiang Shan walking slowly with an expression of disbelief.

Why is his strength so strong?

That punch just now clearly used an unimaginably terrifying inheritance.

Xiang Yuan's mind went blank, as if lightning struck, an idea emerged.

There are also adventures in Xiangshan.

And it is an immeasurable adventure.

Enough to change his destiny.

"Nicholas once said, repay kindness with kindness, repay grievance with kindness! Back then, you relied on your adventures to increase your strength and hit me hard. Today... I also had my adventures, and I hit you hard with this. Between you and me The hatred is even!" Xiangshan walked over, his whole body glowing, his eyes clear, and his treasure-like appearance solemn. He didn't look like a demon, but like an ancient Buddha or a great Confucian.

"Don't be complacent. The elder of the clan will be here soon. No matter how strong you are, you have to surrender today!" Xiang Yuan spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body was covered with numerous wounds and cracks. They were extremely tragic, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Is it?"

Xiang Shan remained calm and said slowly: "How can you be sure that between you and me, the elder will definitely choose you?"

Xiang Yuan's pupils narrowed.

At that time, he was stronger than Xiang Shan, so he became the first genius of the clan, the most eye-catching existence of the younger generation, and carried the hope of the ancient clan.

But now that he has been defeated by Xiang Shan, this status will naturally not be so unshakable.

The clan only needs one person who is dazzling enough to inherit the glory of the ancient clan and make the clan more powerful and prosperous.

As to who this person is, they don't care.

Thinking of this, a burst of panic appeared in Xiang Yuan's eyes. It was only now that he realized that everything he owned was like catkins, which would fall apart as soon as they were blown.

Xiang Shan slowly raised his hand, and was about to kill him when his movements suddenly stopped. He raised his head and glanced around, his expression changing slightly.

ponder for a moment.

Xiang Shan came to Xiang Yuan, squatted down, took out a few magic fruits, and fed them to Xiang Yuan's mouth.

"Open your mouth!"

Before Xiang Yuan could react, he was stunned for a while, and the magic fruit had already entered his mouth.

"What did you feed me?" Xiang Yuan's pupils widened, feeling that Xiang Shan had poisoned him and wanted to take revenge on him, making him miserable.

"Don't you feel it yourself?"

"..." Xiang Yuan felt that the power of the medicine had already melted away, and it was extremely gentle. It moved through his body, bringing bursts of warmth and alleviating most of his pain.

Magic Yuan Fruit!
A very famous healing medicine in the demon world.

Demonic trees will only grow in places with the purest and strongest demonic energy, and the yield of each tree will not be very large.

On Ying Mo Island, this kind of medicine is even more precious.

Even though the Earth Golem Clan has a lot of background, it doesn't have much, and only the core members can enjoy it.

The one in Xiangshan is probably many years old.

Xiang Yuan was stunned, staring at Xiang Shan in front of him, feeling that he couldn't understand this younger brother at all now: "Why... why do you want to save me?"

Xiangshan curled his lips noncommittally: "I said that the grudge between you and me has been cleared! I can still sacrifice myself for each other for outsiders, not to mention you and me... after all, we are brothers from the same blood!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan was speechless.

When Xiangshan mentioned this theory to him before, he didn't take it seriously at all.

But now, it was his turn, and he was... not that resistant.

"Besides, you should be the number one genius of your Earth Demon Elephant Tribe and participate in your God and Demon Ceremony! If those elders know that you were defeated by me, I'm afraid they will have to replace me. , I don’t want to die like that!” Xiangshan said again.

"You! What are you talking about? Being able to participate in the ritual ceremony of gods and demons is a great honor for our clan. No matter how many people ask for it, we can't get it!" Xiang Yuan almost lost his temper and glared.

"glory?"

Xiangshan stood up slowly, chuckled, and said with unspeakable sarcasm: "You died for those demon gods. Who can remember your name except our tribe?"

Xiang Yuan was stunned.

Xiang Shan added: "No matter how big the matter in this world is...it is nothing more than life and death! No matter which race of creatures, life should be the most important thing! You must live clearly, and die...you must die worth it!"

Xiang Yuan argued: "It is worth dying for the devil!"

Xiang Shan looked down at him: "Will you remember the name of the silky chicken you ate tonight? Or will you be grateful for the delicious meal it gave you?"

Xiang Yuan was speechless, not knowing why.

Xiangshan said: "In the eyes of those demon gods, your sacrifices are just a meal, just richer than before! And in the eyes of those high-ranking big shots, you are not worth mentioning, you are just a human being." The ants who came to achieve their goals are tools they want to borrow the power of the devil! So why do you think you are so glorious?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but found that he didn't know what to say.

His whole face turned red.

But inexplicably, he felt that Xiangshan's words made sense.

"Is it really worth exchanging life for false glory?" This question struck a chord in Xiang Yuan's heart.

His eyes changed, his breathing became rapid, and his heart was full of struggles. The once firm belief in the devil in his mind was gradually shaken.

Xiangshan paid attention to his expression and said again: "Let me tell you another story! A story...about the origin of the devil world!"

He told Xiang Yuan the story of Demon Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor, Buu, and Nicholas in great detail.

After listening.

Xiang Yuan's mind was buzzing and blank. He couldn't believe it, but he didn't know where to question it.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you can lie to me by just making up a story?"

Xiang Shan said calmly: "Believe it or not, the Demon Ancestor is there! I will respect all your choices, and the Demon Ancestor does not need to force anyone to become his believer!

I was just thinking of brotherhood and didn't want you to die in an unknown way. Until the end, I still felt that my death was an honor, but I didn't know that in the eyes of others, I was just a dispensable ant!

Just like those strange monsters in your eyes! "

Xiang Yuan clenched his fists tightly and said: "The matter of the ritual ceremony of gods and demons has been decided. No matter what I think, this matter cannot be changed, otherwise... our clan will definitely suffer disaster!"

His heart has obviously been seriously shaken, otherwise he would not have said such words.

Xiangshan turned his head and walked towards his house, leaving a faint sentence: "You make the choice yourself, anyway, if it were me! Obedience is also death, resistance is also death, why should I step into that land so gently?" Night? No matter how small a person is, he still has the right to shout!"

Bang!
The door was closed and the yard was silent.

Xiang Yuan sat slumped in the ruins, stunned for a long time as Xiang Shan's words echoed in his mind.

His mind was already in chaos, and he had never thought about why there was so much fighting here, but the strong men from the clan never came.

……

"Senior Nicholas, can he really figure it out?"

Standing by the window, Xiangshan looked at the silent figure in the night and suddenly said this.

His original intention was to put an end to Xiang Yuan and prevent him from getting in the way.

But a message suddenly fell on his ears, interrupting his behavior and telling him... to try to educate Shi Yuan.

"We will only do our best to deal with the human affairs, and for the rest... let fate dictate it!"
