RNP 1008. The Demonic Decision
1008. The Demonic Decision
"I don't think Xiao Yan's age is a problem. Experience can be gained later. No one is born a leader. Managing an alliance can be done with the help of others. He can learn it gradually."
Everyone knew that Yao Huang's words at this moment must have a deeper meaning; what he said at the beginning was precisely what was unimportant. The truly important things were often left for later.
"However, I don't think he's suitable to be the leader of the alliance. The reason is that Young Master Xiao Yan's strength is simply not strong enough."
At this point, many powerful figures turned their attention to Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan remained unperturbed by Yao Huang's assessment, calmly asking, "My strength is naturally insufficient compared to Senior Yan Jin. However, I would also like to know who Elder Yao Huang considers to be of sufficient strength?"
"Empress Qinglin of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan!"
These words revealed Yao Huang's true intentions, completely exposing his true purpose. However, the people present didn't react much, since Yao Huang was risking offending both Xiao Yan and Yan Jin at the same time, so he must have had some ulterior motive.
The benefits of securing the position of leader for the Nine Netherworld Python Clan are enough to support his actions.
As an elder of the Nine Netherworld Python, Yao Huang would naturally only speak for his own faction. What they were considering now was who would be the most beneficial to them and the faction they represented by becoming the alliance leader.
"Her Majesty Qinglin has only been in charge of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan for a short time, so please allow me to introduce her to everyone. The Empress is younger than Pavilion Master Xiao Yan, but her strength has already reached the four-star Dou Sheng level, and she is currently striving to become a five-star Dou Sheng!"
Upon hearing this, many of those present couldn't help but gasp. They themselves were Dou Sheng level experts, so they knew just how difficult it was to advance to that level.
In their eyes, Xiao Yan, at his age, reaching the level of a two-star Dou Sheng was already an astonishing and rare genius.
Now, suddenly, Qing Lin appears, younger than Xiao Yan and far stronger. More importantly, Qing Lin is definitely not a member of any Dou Di descendant family; how could she possibly possess the strength of a four-star Dou Sheng?
"How is that possible?"
"Younger than Xiao Yan, yet possessing such strength, how could your Nine Netherworld Python Clan possibly hide it?" Qing Xianzi blurted out unconsciously. She knew that the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's Empress was indeed incredibly powerful, but she didn't believe for a second that anyone could surpass Xiao Yan.
The others echoed this sentiment, finding it extremely difficult to convince them that anyone could surpass Xiao Yan, who was being assisted by Xiao Xuan.
At this moment, Yao Huang couldn't help but smirk. He should have been skeptical; if it weren't right in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it either. But strength is something that can't be faked. As long as Qing Lin showed himself, it spoke louder than a thousand words.
At this moment, Xiao Yan spoke up again, dispelling all their doubts: "I can testify to this. Qing Lin is indeed younger than me, and her strength is indeed much greater than mine!"
"hiss--"
Having received Xiao Yan's acknowledgment, these people now had no choice but to believe him. After all, Yao Huang was currently undermining Xiao Yan's chances of becoming the alliance leader, and if it weren't true, Xiao Yan would have no reason to lie about this matter.
Yao Huang was also somewhat surprised. He had already figured out how to prove Qing Lin's strength, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yan, whom he attacked, would speak up for him.
However, he immediately suppressed this fluctuation, because he knew that he had more important things to do.
"It's not just about strength. Her Majesty Qinglin was away for a long time, while she has only been back with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan for about five years!"
"She only took three years to completely control the Nine Netherworld Python clan. With that experience, I believe she is also capable of being the leader of the alliance!"
Everyone knew that the true ruler of the Nine Netherworld Python clan had changed, but everyone had always believed that Yao Ming, a four-star Dou Sheng, was the true master of the Nine Netherworld Pythons. As for Qing Lin, he was only pushed into that position because of special circumstances.
Now that Yao Huang has said that, Yao Ming next to him has no intention of refuting it. On the contrary, when he hears that name, a look of awe appears in his eyes. It seems that this matter is not false.
Qing Lin's resume certainly wasn't as surprising as Yao Huang claimed. Unlike humans, magical beasts value bloodline more than ability. Qing Lin is currently a four-star Dou Sheng; it's impossible that she reached this level three years ago.
Yao Ming's willingness to submit to her is mostly due to their bloodline. Controlling the Nine Netherworld Python clan is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight; it's mostly because elders at the Dou Sheng level are willing to risk their lives for her.
They quickly pieced together the answer from the details, and although it differed from reality, it was basically correct.
Even so, Qing Lin is still an extremely formidable figure. If we are only discussing the matter of becoming the leader of the alliance, Qing Lin is indeed more convincing than Xiao Yan.
Yan Jin, now intrigued, asked, "Since she's so powerful, why isn't she here today?"
Yao Huang immediately replied, "Rest assured, everyone. Since I dare to say this, I will absolutely not deceive you. I have already contacted Her Majesty the Queen, and she is well aware of the importance of the alliance. She will arrive later today!"
Yan Jin asked the question because Mu Yaoyin and the others, including Xiao Yan, seemed to have no sense of crisis and just let Yao Huang do as he pleased.
Now that Yao Huang has said that Qing Lin will be here soon, it's a bit unreasonable for him to be so eager to recommend Xiao Yan.
As the unseen host, Yao Lao looked around at everyone and advised, "Electing the alliance leader is the second major event after the alliance is established. It's still early today, so I think everyone should wait a while for the arrival of the Azure Scale Empress of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan."
After asking around, no one had much of an opinion. Regardless of who they supported, it wouldn't hurt to meet them. And it would also be a good opportunity to think about what they would need to address within the alliance.
Yao Huang, who had truly achieved his goal and secured the position of Alliance Leader for his Empress, was extremely excited.
Because of Yan Jin, he hadn't initially included the position of alliance leader in his plans. It was only after Yan Jin clearly expressed his lack of interest in the position that he decided to pursue it on a whim. And judging from the current situation, his decision was correct!
