Chapter 1336
He didn't know what the Yin Empress had promised Xi Ying to make him, who was once at odds with her, turn around and support her.
An Long couldn't help but guess secretly in his heart.
Xi Ying is lecherous; could it be that the Yin Empress gave herself to him and had a night of pleasure with him?
Thinking of this, An Long couldn't help but size up the Yin Empress.
Although she is a grandmother-aged figure, because she practices the Heavenly Demon Great Art, she looks only about thirty years old. She has a graceful figure and is extremely beautiful. Standing with her disciple Wan Wan, because of the mature charm she possesses, she is actually more eye-catching than Wan Wan.
After Heavenly Lord Xi Ying spoke, someone else expressed their stance, "The Heavenly Lord is right. The Evil King has disappeared for many years and has long ignored the affairs of the Saint Sect. These years, we have all received many benefits from the Yinkui Sect. In terms of the position of Saint Sect Alliance Leader, the Yin Empress should be more suitable."
The one speaking was the Demon Daoist Bi Chen.
After Bi Chen, his fellow disciple from another faction of the True Transmission Dao, the Zi-Wu Sword Zuo Youxian, also expressed his stance, indicating his support for the Yin Empress.
Upon hearing this, An Long's expression turned gloomy, and anger rose in his heart.
How could he not know that Bi Chen and Zuo Youxian speaking was clearly because they couldn't stand to see him, An Long, get any benefits.
If the Evil King became the Alliance Leader of the Saint Sect, his Heavenly Lotus Sect would inevitably rise due to the merit of supporting the dragon.
Bi Chen and Zuo Youxian had previously supported his junior brother, Fu Gongyou, to seize his position as Heavenly Lotus Sect Master, and their relationship was at odds. Their expressing support for the Yin Empress now shows their purpose.
For a time, some supported Evil King Shi Zhixuan to serve as the Saint Sect Alliance Leader, and some supported the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan.
Supporting Shi Zhixuan were An Long of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Hou Xibai of the Flower-Among Path, and Yang Xuyan of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion; while supporting Zhu Yuyan were Bi Chen and Zuo Youxian of the Dao Ancestor's True Transmission, and Heavenly Lord Xi Ying of the Extinguishing Emotion Path, counting the Yinkui Sect itself.
Behind these two, each stood three sects of the Demonic Sect.
Although the Flower-Among Path and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion have gradually declined because Shi Zhixuan retired from the jianghu for many years and rarely asked about jianghu affairs.
But in terms of support, the two are evenly matched.
The Demonic Sect has two paths and six paths. Excluding these six sects, the attitude of the remaining two sects—no, it should be said that the attitude of one of them is crucial.
That is the attitude of Demon Commander Zhao Deyan.
As the National Teacher of the Eastern Turks, although the Demon Image Sect was driven out of the Central Plains back then, it has developed extremely well in the Turkic lands these years, far surpassing many Demonic Sect sects.
How will he choose?
After realizing that Zhao Deyan's attitude was crucial, everyone looked at Zhao Deyan one after another.
Zhao Deyan said in a deep voice, "The Evil King is the best in our Saint Sect in terms of both talent and martial arts. Logically speaking, I should support the Evil King to serve as the Saint Sect Alliance Leader, but as Xi Ying said, the Evil King has disappeared for many years, while the Yin Empress is different. These years, she has been leading the Yinkui Sect to struggle against the righteous path and has helped us a lot. We all owe the Yin Empress a debt of gratitude."
"If the Saint Sect is to be unified, the Yin Empress is obviously more suitable to serve as the Alliance Leader than the Evil King!"
No one expected Zhao Deyan to choose to support the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan.
Upon hearing Zhao Deyan's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Yuyan's mouth.
That day, Shi Zhixuan and Dongjun found her and expressed their determination to unify the Demonic Sect.
Although Zhu Yuyan helped Shi Zhixuan gather many comrades of the Demonic Sect, from the beginning, she never intended to submit to Shi Zhixuan or submit to the command of that mysterious Evil Emperor.
Wanting to unify the Demonic Sect—can't she do it herself?
Perhaps the person behind the scenes is really the Evil Emperor.
But in the current Demonic Sect, the Yinkui Sect is the most powerful force. As the trend goes, as long as the majority of the Demonic Sect supports her, even if the person behind the scenes is the Evil Emperor, there is nothing he can do.
The next moment, Zhu Yuyan's smile froze again.
Just because Shi Zhixuan's follower, An Long, sneered, "Zhao Deyan, these years, you have become the National Teacher of the Eastern Turks. I thought you were a person with foresight, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted. Or is it that your Demon Image Sect is so willing to be a running dog for the Yinkui Sect? Do you think Zhu Yuyan can serve as the Alliance Leader of our Saint Sect? But why do I feel that so many heroes are not as good as a woman?"
The last sentence was sarcastic.
He was mocking everyone—a group of men willing to submit to a woman.
0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····
Zhu Yuyan also heard this, and her expression immediately turned gloomy.
Who says women are not as good as men?
If not for the occasion, she would have taken action to teach An Long a lesson and let him understand that some things cannot be said casually.
"That's right, the Yin Empress's strength is indeed very strong, and the Yinkui Sect is also very powerful, but wanting my Heaven-Mending Pavilion to listen to a woman's command is absolutely impossible." Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan expressed his stance, indicating his support for his mentor, Shi Zhixuan.
For a time, Shi Zhixuan's followers and Zhu Yuyan's allies contended with each other. Of course, in terms of the strength of their forces, it was obviously the forces supporting Zhu Yuyan that were more numerous.
On Shi Zhixuan's side, the Flower-Among Path and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion had already declined. He himself was the sect master of these two paths, so there was no talk of support or not. An Long's Heavenly Lotus Sect was not weak.
But were the forces supporting Zhu Yuyan weak?
The Dao Ancestor's True Transmission, the Extinguishing Emotion Path, the Demon Image Sect, and Zhu Yuyan's own Yinkui Sect were all not weak forces.
Shi Zhixuan naturally noticed that the situation was unfavorable to him, but he had no panic.
Looking at everyone, he spoke softly, "Although I have pointed out the predicament of the current Saint Sect and the situation of the world, and stated the method to break the situation, I think you have misunderstood my meaning."
"The Saint Sect indeed needs to be unified. Only after unification can we contend with the righteous path, but this Alliance Leader is not me, and I have no intention of contending for the position of Alliance Leader."
"Of course, in my opinion, Yuyan is also not qualified to serve as the Alliance Leader."
Shi Zhixuan said Zhu Yuyan's name in an intimate tone.
Zhu Yuyan frowned slightly.
Zhao Deyan heard the meaning in Shi Zhixuan's words, "Evil King, what do you mean by this?"
"He has no other meaning!"
After Zhao Deyan spoke, Shi Zhixuan did not answer him, but Dongjun Yanfei, who had followed Shi Zhixuan here, spoke up.
Facing the many experts of the Demonic Sect, Dongjun Yanfei had no fear, "Shi Zhixuan is just a messenger, informing you of our specific purpose. The one who truly wants to unify the Demonic Sect is—the Evil Emperor!"
