The Second Elder's words were filled with praise, but the unfathomable smile on his face made them feel a chill down their spine.
When the maids heard this, they lowered their heads.
The chief secretary and the other assistant secretaries were also dumbfounded and did not dare to say a word.
Everyone present understood what the Second Elder meant, but only the elders dared to speak.
The Eighth Elder, Zhan Xin, nodded at the Second Elder and said, "The Second Elder is right. Jiuxiao was indeed asensible child. Compared to his father, Feiyu, he valued the commoners more. Only such a child is worthy of being the Patriarch of the War God Clan."
The elders of the War God Clan loved obedient and sensible children who were easy to control and brainwash.
Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded.
The Second Elder continued, "Phantoms won't lie. If that phantom is really Jiuxiao, then the Patriarch we've respected for a thousand years isn't the real Jiuxiao at all, but the great fiendish cultivator Ye Qingchen. Everyone, we've been oppressed by the demonic cultivator for hundreds of years. It's time for us to work together and stand up to him."
The Second Elder suddenly stood up and placed his fist on the solid wooden conference table.
Crack!
A crack instantly appeared in the middle of the thick wooden table.
The Second Elder said righteously, "Kill the demonic cultivator and choose another Patriarch!"
Only by killing Ye Qingchen and establishing an obedient and sensible child as the Patriarch could the Elder Council become the most sacred existence in the hearts of the War God Clan's clansmen again!
Upon hearing the Second Elder's words, the other elders stood up excitedly and shouted, "Kill the demonic cultivator and choose another Patriarch!"
Amidst the commotion, a calm male voice suddenly sounded. "Elders, isn't it too early to rejoice?"
Hearing this, everyone in the meeting hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at the person who spoke and realized that the person who spoke was actually the levelheaded and reliable chief secretary. "Zhuowen, what are you saying?" As the Second Elder narrowed his eyes, his short eyebrows narrowed into two white dots. He looked quite comical.
Zhuowen moved his right hand away from the mouse.
After he slowly stood up straight and took off his thick black-framed glasses, he raised his head and looked around at all the elders. Then, he clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Didn't you guys notice that the phantom said something very important?"
The elders looked at each other in confusion.
What else did the phantom say?
Seeing that no one noticed, the man laughed again.
He placed his hands on the table and arched his back slightly. His gaze was fixed on the Second Elder, who had the highest status. His lips curled up slightly as he gently repeated what the phantom had said before, "In order to control the War God Clan, Ye Qingchen nurtured many elders and people around him into demonic existences." With that said, the secretary asked the Second Elder with a smile, "Second Elder, who do you think is the spy planted by the Demon Supremacy in the Elder Council?"
When he said 'Demon Supremacy', Zhuowen exposed his identity as a demon.
"Zhan Zhuowen, you're actually Ye Qingchen's mole!" The Second Elder and the other elders stared at the young secretary called Zhan Zhuowen.
This child had served the Elder Council for more than a hundred years. Due to his low-key and reserved personality, he was not highly valued by Zhan Jiuxiao and had always been a secretary of the Elder Council, so the elders did not take him seriously.
However, at this moment, when they saw the mysterious smile on Zhan Zhuowen's lips, they realized that although the chief secretary of the Elder Council did not have any real power and did not have a high status in the clan, he was not even respected by the disciples…
He was the only person who could monitor all the elders!
Wasn't he eavesdropping on their discussion just now? If he spread these words to Ye Qingchen, that great fiendish cultivator, would they still be able to survive?
"Hehe…" Zhan Zhuowen laughed and said loudly," Seventh Elder, Eleventh Elder, and Sixteenth Elder! You guys heard what these old fellows said just now. These people have just betrayed the Demon Supremacy and are disrespectful to him. Hurry up and subdue them all. Are you waiting for them to betray the Demon Supremacy? "
"What?!" All the elders widened their eyes in shock when they heard Zhan Zhuowen's words.
Under everyone's shocked and questioning gazes, the only female elder in the Elder Council stood up. She was wearing a long gray dress. Although the design of the dress was loose, it could not hide her sexy figure. After the Seventh Elder pressed her hands on the table as she stood up slowly, she looked at the Eighth and Ninth Elders, who were sitting in the northeast corner of the conference hall.
The Seventh Elder smiled charmingly as she said, "Elder Zhan Xin, Elder Zhan Ren, do the two of you still remember that 1,070 years ago, the two of you relied on the fact that your father was an elder of the Elder Council to do whatever you wanted in the clan> On a hot summer night in July, after the two of you drank a little, you guys bumped into a woman in a blue dress who had just broken through to the Supreme Master Realm and came out of seclusion from the back mountain. You guys forcefully brought the woman to your residence and raped her…"
When she said these words, the Seventh Elder's eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head as she lamented with a smile, "What's hateful is that when I told the Elder Council about this, the previous Sixth Elder of our clan, your father, actually shattered my Beast Heart and threw me into the Black Sea!"
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet the Demon Supremacy, I would have become a skeleton in the Black Sea." The Seventh Elder smiled as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Then, she grabbed the table tightly and gritted her teeth as she said, "It's never too late to take revenge. I've been hiding with the Demon Supremacy for hundreds of years for today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was silent. The other elders looked at the Seventh Elder, Zhan Xin, and Zhan Ren. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the short Eleventh Elder also stood up.
He jumped onto the table and pulled off his clothes, revealing the word "slave" on his chest.
When they saw the word 'slave', everyone was in an uproar.
"You…" As the Second Elder stared at the 'slave' mark on the Eleventh Elder's body, he thought of something and could not hide his shock as he shouted," You're the dwarf slave?" The dwarf slave was a Dwarf Race slave that he and his brother had captured from the Demonic Beast Forest.
The Dwarf Race was close to extinction in the three thousand worlds. A thousand years ago, in the Demonic Beast Forest of the Cang Lang Continent, there were still more than ten dwarves left. This dwarf slave was a member of the dwarves.
The 11th Elder roared with bloodshot eyes, "Zhan Yi, 1,300 years ago, the two of you broke into our hometown and slaughtered my clansmen. You even chopped off my mother's head and turned it into a water ladle. You imprisoned me as a slave in the vegetable garden at the back of the mountain and made me pick feces and water vegetables every day. The ladle used to water vegetables was my mother's head!"
Zhan Yi's eyes flickered a few times, but he could not find any words to refute him.
Then, the sixteenth elder slowly stood up and vented his hatred to another elder.
For a moment, the War God Clan's Elder Council Hall was in chaos.
Zhan Zhuowen paused for a moment. After his three allies vented their hatred, he smiled and said, "Everyone, before Demon Supremacy left, he expected this scene. He once instructed me that if any of you decide to betray him, I should give you guys two choices. One, kill all of you."
When he said 'kill all of you', Zhan Zhuowen's tone was nonchalant and he did not even bat an eye.
"The second choice is…"
Zhan Zhuowen covered his mouth and chuckled as he said, "Choose to become a demon and form an alliance with us." With that, 17 lines appeared in Zhan Zhuowen's palm. Zhan Zhuowen stared at the 17 black demonic lines and smiled as he said, "Actually, the Demon Supremacy originally prepared 19 demonic lines, but Zhan Jia and Zhan Hai failed to appreciate his kindness and actually tried to resist the Demon Supremacy's orders."
When the Second Elder heard this, his expression changed drastically.
He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
The Second Elder roared at Zhan Zhuowen, "What did you do to my brother?!"
Zhan Zhuowen blinked his curly eyelashes as he said calmly, "I asked Eleventh Elder to kill him." As he spoke, Zhan Zhuowen looked at the table at the entrance of the conference hall. On the wall above the table, there was a smooth skull water ladle.
Zhan Zhuowen glanced at the water ladle and said, "Your brother has been hanging there and accompanying you all this time." As for the similarly disobedient Elder Zhan Hai, he had also been killed.
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder trembled with anger.
He suddenly summoned his beast form and spiritual energy erupted from his body. He planned to attack Zhan Zhuowen to avenge his brother.
Zhan Zhuowen only sneered before transforming into a demonic cultivator covered in a black robe. The demonic cultivator had no face or torso. It was just a pure, pitch-black fog. The fog spread its 'arms' and pounced at the Second Elder.
Then, everyone heard the Second Elder's scream.
The black fog enveloped the Second Elder and stirred inside for a while.
After the black fog dispersed, the Second Elder's figure had already disappeared. However, there was a disgusting pool of blood on the ground…
Everyone's faces turned pale.
After the black fog returned to Zhan Zhuowen's appearance, he opened his palm again and opened the 17 black demonic threads. The demonic threads flew up under his guidance and floated in front of every elder.
Zhan Zhuowen smiled as he urged them, "Everyone, do you guys choose to serve Demon Supremacy or die?"
