Chapter 106: The Price of Winning

This is a typical example of taking advantage of your illness to kill you!

These five guys looked like they were all refreshing, and they couldn't be more ruthless when they started to do things, Wen Min and they really realized the profound truth of what it means to be unseemly.

At the beginning, Wen Min and the others were indeed caught off guard, and they were attacked before they were attacked.

Just now, when they were sealing the entrance of the cave, more than half of their spiritual power had already been consumed, and now they were suddenly hit by this sudden sneak attack, to be honest, with their current strength, they couldn't reach half of their usual strength at all.

They also saw the situation when the snake escaped before, and the strength of that guy itself is also very strong, and now although these five guys are strange-looking, but Wen Min and they don't believe it, their strength will be so strange. If the two sides fight, they may not be able to hurt each other, in which case, the problem will be big.

A new generation of monarchs is about to be elected in the House of Elders, and tens of thousands of people are waiting in front of the square in order to have the right to wait and see and question although they do not have the right to vote.

In fact, in many countries on the continent of Marfa, this is the practice of a kind of senate that evaluates the candidates according to their merits, strength, character, and speeches, and then votes to produce a new generation of kings. And this way of the Senate effectively prevents the position of the monarch from being obtained by scheming people, and maximizes fairness. Because even the House of Elders votes according to four criteria. Although the 50 senators of the Senate were all meritorious ministers for the country and the people, and they usually had the obligation to question the rights of the monarch and maintain the normal operation of state affairs, if their votes were wrong, then the tens of thousands of people in the square had the right to question and re-vote, so that Nanping Kingdom has always been in a more just atmosphere.

Wen Min stood in the seat of the Senate at this time, calmly observing the five candidates in front of him, although two of them were his disciples, but he had always been fair, and he did not show any expression after seeing them.

But the five candidates couldn't calm down, although they knew that the selection was all made according to the four criteria, but they still couldn't help but be a little nervous, after all, they all hope to become a new generation of leaders!

And the people were also extremely excited and nervous, in addition to the people from the Holy City, there were also some people from other cities. After all, this kind of event, which is only elected once every hundreds of years, is rare in the experience of ordinary people, and their lifespan is very limited compared to those cultivators.

Seeing the reaction of the people in the square and the excitement of the five candidates, all the senators of the Senate nodded with satisfaction. In their view, only a country that has enough support and trust from the people will have such a move, which shows that Nanping is trustworthy.

"Everyone, please be still!"

Accompanied by a loud ultra-long-distance magic transmission, the voice of the patriarch who presided over the election ceremony was infinitely amplified, and in addition to being heard by the tens of thousands of people present, even the people of the holy city who could not be present could hear it clearly, which showed that the strength of this patriarch was extraordinary. The people in the square quieted down with that loud voice, and they all looked in the direction of the rostrum with some excitement.

"First of all, thank you for coming, as the host of this election ceremony, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you for your hard work to come here!"

Presiding over the ceremony on the stage was an elder named Lei Fang, one of the ten marshals of Nanping Kingdom. He was upright, resolute, decisive and wise, and was one of the rare pillars of the country, who led the legions to defeat the enemy in many battles for the defense of the country, and has become one of the most respected heroes of the people of Nanping.

Lei Fang watched the people in the audience gradually quiet down and listened attentively, and then continued: "Because among the first three evaluations of the five candidates, only Feng Yang, Legend and Yang Yang are equal and qualified to participate in the final evaluation, while the first three evaluations of Shuli and Li Gen are backward, so they have lost their qualifications. However, it can be considered to join the Senate and become a lifelong senator. So, the next step is the final evaluation of the three candidates, which is the speech. Begin! ”

With the fall of Lei Fang's "start", the atmosphere in the square became tense again. The first to speak was Legend, who walked up to the podium with a confident and resolute face, and although he was facing tens of thousands of people, he did not feel the slightest nervousness, and he did not even take the manuscript to the podium. All the elders nodded secretly when they saw such a confident legend, and secretly said in their hearts: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the descendant of the fifth generation of monarchs, and his demeanor is so confident and calm!" This son can be made! For a while, most of the patriarchs thought of going together.

After the legend came to the stage, he calmly observed the situation around him, and secretly made a bottom in his heart, and then he gave a speech with peace of mind······

- "Hello to all of you who have worked tirelessly to come here, to all of you who are now listening to the magic sound guide, and to all the respected senators of the Senate! I am a legend and one of the candidates. So, as a candidate, I hope to have your support. Although it was an impromptu presentation, it was still a bit rushed, so it was time for a brief. ”

- "First of all, as the monarch, I hope to get your support, and step up the cultivation of military talents, and strive to strengthen myself, so that our Nanping Kingdom will gradually become stronger. ”

······

- "Secondly, in addition to the training of military personnel, I hope to develop the economy, and during my administration, I will do my best to apply to the Senate for tax reduction projects, so that as many people as possible can have the opportunity to develop." ”

······

- "Finally, I will step up my precautions against other countries in the future, and promise that I will never allow enemy troops to invade our territory, even if it is a bloody frontier!" ”

······

- "That's all for my speech, thank you!" The legend didn't seem to have recovered from his previous impassioned emotions, his face was still a little flushed, and his chest was still heaving violently. It's just that at this time, he didn't care about this, but walked to Feng Yang and Yang Yang's side with a free face, showing a sincere and somewhat ignorant smile, and said to the two of them: "Oh, I'm finished, otherwise I'll die if I stay on stage for a little longer." I can't do it, you have to do it! ”

Looking at the appearance of the legend in front of him at this time, and then thinking about him who looked confident and impassioned on the stage before, Feng Yang and Yang Yang were a little crying and laughing, as if the legend just now and the legend at this time were not the same person.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time showed an extremely helpless expression.

The next speaker was Yang Yang, who strode to the front stage calmly and began his speech on the election through the magic speaker.

······

- "First of all, thank you for all your hard work to come here, I am candidate Yang Yang, first of all, ······"

Yang Yang's opening is still the same as the legend, it is a word of thanks.

- "I think that each of us is not willing to spend our lives in an ordinary and useless way. So, I want to build on what the previous legend said to be able to break new ground. That's ······"

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the curious eyes of all the people present, and then continued with satisfaction: "To conquer those countries and people who do not obey us, so that the territory of our Nanping Kingdom can be expanded to the maximum. That way we'll have more resources at our disposal. And we will finally unify the continent. ”

After listening to Yan Yangyang's words, I don't know how the people reacted, but most of the elders in the Senate frowned.

"Alas, although this son is strong, the anger in his heart is too heavy, if such a person is allowed to lead the country, who knows where it will take us Nanping." After hearing this, one of the patriarchs had already sighed and voiced his heart.

"Even if this person is outstanding, it is not conducive to our Nanping, and I feel that we can't let this kind of person lead us."

"Let's not say whether this kind of thing is possible or not, but whether his words will cause a strong reaction from other countries and attack us is uncertain. Who can guarantee that there are no eyes and ears for the people present. ”

······

For a while, the elders of the Senate had endless evaluations of Yang Yang, but their opinions were surprisingly unified. That is, it must not be allowed to become the monarch of Nanping.

But Yang Yang didn't know this. He left the scene as soon as he finished speaking, and came to Feng Yang and Legend's side. He is also very confident, even more so than a legend. Self-confidence seems to have become conceit. Because he believes that all cultivators are eager to make meritorious achievements and get everything they want. It is precisely with this point of view that Yang Yang explained his views on stage.

Seeing Yang Yangyang's return, the legend didn't look like much, but Feng Yang was already extremely anxious towards him.

"Yang Yang, how could you have such an idea. Don't we hope for peace? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to say that? Will it affect your election? ”

Although Feng Yang's words sounded a little uncomfortable to Yang Yang, when he heard that he was thinking about himself, he didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart, but smiled and said to Feng Yang: "Feng Yang, don't worry." I say this for my purpose, so don't worry about me. You're next, let's go! ”

Feng Yang was kind in the end, as soon as he heard Yang Yang say that he had his own thoughts, he didn't say anything anymore, nodded to him slightly and walked to the podium.

Watching Feng Yang walk to the podium, all the elders of the Senate told Wen Min one after another······

"Wen Min, this apprentice of yours is much stronger than the previous Yang Yang! In comparison, he is more steady and kind, and less angry. Now we need such people to lead us to a strong and steady future. Let's hope he has a unique point of view. ”

"Yes, Lao Yun, although Feng Yang's strength is not the strongest among the three, his heart is the most beneficial to us, so I also hope that he can have his own unique opinion."

"Well, that's how I see it!"

······

Listening to the many elders beside him, Wen Min fell into deep thought, and he asked himself: Is it right or wrong to let his two apprentices participate in the election this time······ His heart was full of contradictions.

- "All of you and all the senators of the Senate, thank you for giving me this opportunity to come to power. I'm going to do my best to get this opportunity, but whether it ends up being or not, I think it's already good. ”

Although Feng Yang's opening remarks were simple and clear, they made people feel good, and their opinions on him changed a lot.

- "If I can become a king, I hope to change the status quo as much as possible." I know that we people in Nanping are peace-loving, and only peace can make our lives quiet and bring happiness. Many of us embark on the path of cultivation just so that we can have enough strength to protect our fellow relatives. We oppose the killing of war and yearn for peace and tranquility, but we are not absolutely rejecting war. We know that there is no eternal killing, and there is no eternal peace, and if we want peace, we cannot invade other countries at will, but we are not afraid of the intrusion of other countries. Because our cultivation is to protect your existence! We can fight for the belief in our hearts, for our loved ones, and for your existence! This is the mission of our cultivators! ”

Wow! Tens of thousands of people in the audience couldn't help but applaud to the wind at the first time. At this time, Feng Yang was also stunned, he didn't expect that his true idea would be supported by so many people, and his blood couldn't help but boil a little. stabilized his surging mood, and Feng Yang had the urge to continue. It's just that he didn't notice that in the place before him in the audience, Yang Yang had clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

- "We have become strong because we need peace and happiness. And we need peace and happiness because we want a better life! So, if I become a monarch, I think the position of monarch is not to have more power, but to accept more responsibility! Take good care of your responsibilities! If peace continues, I will intensify the training of our cultivation camp and make it stronger, so as to better protect you. That's what I think. ”

Wow! The applause from the audience rang out again, and it became stronger and stronger! Deafening and enduring!

The veterans on the stage who had repeatedly made military exploits couldn't help but be moved after listening to Feng Yang's words. Yes, once upon a time they repelled the enemy army that came to invade again and again with such a conviction: once upon a time they were proud of what they had done: once upon a time they wanted a peaceful world!

Now Feng Yang is exactly who they were back then, and what Feng Yang thinks is exactly what they think. And such people, just think about it, how can they disagree?

The senators of the Senate knew that their decision would give Nanping a new future! And the opener of this future is Feng Yang, a magic cultivator in the late stage of the Demon Soul!

After the half-citation······

The crowd in the square began to get a little agitated, because they were desperate to know the final result of the election!

"Everyone, please be quiet, and now I will announce the final results of the election of the sixth monarch." That loud and majestic voice was made by Lei Fang, who presided over this election.

As soon as I heard it, the results were about to be announced. The commotion immediately became much quieter.

Seeing the crowd that fell silent in an instant, this made Lei Fang feel funny, and made him think of such a scene: a child was crying on the street, and the family saw this situation and said, "Don't cry." Daddy takes you to eat something delicious! Then the child burst into tears and laughed, and readily agreed. Although it is a bit funny to use this scene as a metaphor for the reaction of the people present, it is true. Because Lei Fang really accurately grasped the psychology of everyone - the psychology of curiosity!

"I declare that the final candidate for the election ceremony of the sixth monarch is ······"

At this point, Lei Fang deliberately paused, because he suddenly wanted to see if everyone's reaction was nervous.

It is clear that he succeeded. He succeeded in arousing the appetite of the crowd, making them desperate for answers.

"Yang Yang ······"

"Congratulations! Yang Yang! Hearing such a result, as a party, Feng Yang was not surprised or disappointed, but congratulated Yang Yang very well.

It's just that the legend seems to be a little unacceptable, and I saw him frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, the audience was in an uproar, they never thought that this would be the result. Originally, after they listened to Feng Yang's speech, they began to lean towards Feng Yang's side. But he didn't expect that the final result was that Yang Yang was elected. For a while, doubts kept coming from the square.

“······ Senior brother, Feng Yang! ”

Everyone in the square was stunned, and then there was a cheerful cry, and it seemed that no more dissatisfaction was heard. Thinking that they understood, Elder Lei Fang was joking with them before.

And Yang Yang, who was in the audience, heard Feng Yang's congratulations and was about to return the gift, but he didn't expect Lei Fang to give him a very funny play.

The legend not far from Yangyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the final result, and it seemed that he was very relieved to be the monarch.

Only Feng Yang was the only one who was still in the woods······

With the boiling of the audience, Feng Yang woke up from the wooden flute, but he was still a little stunned.

Wen Min glanced in the direction of the wind and them, took in the expressions of the three people, and closed his eyes with a secret sigh. He knew that the outcome was what he hoped for, and it was not what he saw. At this time, he had already regretted agreeing to the Senate's proposal to let his two disciples participate in the election ceremony of the king. And he could only silently pray that things would go in the direction he wanted.

The senators of the Senate were also happy to see the reaction of the people, and the things were going in the direction they hoped for, and they were recognized by everyone, and everyone was naturally happy when they tacitly agreed.

The rest of the celebration remains. All kinds of activities and programs compete in colorful performances, the richness and complexity of the elements, and the richness of the elements make many people secretly speechless. The emphasis on celebration has far exceeded the expectations of the state's top officials, and the number of people can be described as overwhelming. It peaked in the evening's activities. People from all parts of the Holy City poured into the square and began a frenzied festivities, which gradually dispersed after midnight.

After the celebration, the sanctuary was unusually quiet, and the surrounding night decorated the entire capital with mystery and fascination. People seem to enjoy the tranquil and mysterious atmosphere. They didn't stay on the streets, but all went back to their lodgings to enjoy all this.

At this moment when no one went out, a dark shadow appeared on the dark street.

I saw the dark shadow move through several streets at an astonishing speed, heading in one direction. And that place was the residence of the patriarch Lei Fang, who presided over the election during the day.

The black shadow quickly flashed to Lei Fang's residence, and by the moonlight, he could clearly identify that the black shadow was a heavily armed man in black. The man in black looked up at Lei Fang's residence, and a creepy smile appeared on his face, and the next moment he disappeared in place.

And the night in the Holy City still doesn't seem to have changed.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight sneaked out of the horizon, enveloping the holy city in a red, almost warm world. People gradually woke up from their sleep and took to the streets one after another, greedily breathing in the air, as if to purify the air that they had inhaled last night.

Wang Laohan also got up early, he didn't want to breathe fresh air like everyone else, he got up early and rushed to Lei Fang's residence to provide them with the freshest breakfast.

Wang Laohan has a unique skill, that is, the snacks he makes are absolutely delicious, and he is famous far and wide. Since the last time he sold snacks in front of Lei Fang's house early in the morning and was eaten by his wife, he invited him to come over every morning to bring them the freshest snacks, and the Lei family even regarded Wang Laohan's snacks as breakfast, so they simply stopped making breakfast in the morning. And Wang Laohan also made a lot of money because of their large purchases. To be honest, he was also very happy to make breakfast for the Lei family every day, which saved him a lot of time and energy.

Today, he still prepared snacks as usual and walked in the direction of the Lei family, and along the way he was still thinking in his heart, as long as he sold today, he could make enough money to buy small goods, then he could make more snacks, and after sending them to the Lei family, he could also push the remaining snacks to sell elsewhere, so that his life would be more relaxed.

Wang Laohan thought like this, thinking that he had already arrived at the door of the Lei family. It's just that today's Lei family seems to be exceptionally quiet, and there is no sound at all. Wang Laohan felt very strange in his heart, so he parked his self-made simple pickup truck aside, picked up snacks and walked to the door of Lei's house and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock~

······

After knocking for a long time and no one opened the door, Wang Laohan suddenly realized that something seemed wrong, and he couldn't help but have some ominous premonitions in his heart. He was about to knock on the door to see how he would react, but after he knocked this time, there was a terrifying scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

With his heavy knock on the door, the door slowly opened a little. Wang Laohan pushed open the door uneasily, but then he stood in place like a stone, and his eyes were full of horror.

I saw dozens of incomplete corpses lying in the courtyard, and what was even more frightening was that he sucked the word "kill" with blood on the courtyard of the Lei family. On the eaves hung Lei Fang's dead head, but the rest of his body was gone.

Wang Laohan didn't hesitate any longer, and ran to the street howling wolf, shouting non-stop: "Kill someone!" Kill ······"

Soon, the news of Lei Fang's killing spread quickly. And Wen Min felt a little uneasy as soon as he learned the news of Lei Fang's killing, and immediately rushed to Lei's house.

Seeing the dozens of corpses that died tragically in the Lei Fang Courtyard, Wen Min couldn't help frowning, this kind of murderous method was a little too cruel. His brow furrowed even tighter, as if he was about to twist it into a rope!

Wen Min knew that there were more than just these people in the Lei family, and since there had already been so many tragic deaths, the rest of the situation would not be too good. Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw seven corpses, and even one of them had turned into a puddle of rotten flesh.

After looking at the people killed by the Lei family, Wen Min finally determined that there was no one alive. Lei Fang, a hero who once made great contributions to Nanping, would end up with all 35 members of his family wiped out.

For a time, the people in the holy city became panicked, and everyone was in danger, for fear that they would be brutally killed again. So much so that when it was slightly dark, there was no trace of pedestrians on the street.

And Wen Min's heart is even more heartbroken at the moment! Because he has already learned about the murderer of Lei Fang's extermination. It was precisely because of this that he felt even more heartache.

That murderer turned out to be his unsuccessful disciple Yang Yang!

And the source of Wen Minde's news turned out to be a letter left by Yang Yang to himself!

······

- "Hello, teacher! I know that you are very sad in your heart at this time, because the Lei family has not left a single mouth. You must be investigating the killer's tracks, but that's what I want to tell you. You don't have to track down the killers anymore, because I killed them all. And the rest of the corpse part of that thunder fang has been used by me to feed the dogs. I know you might not figure it out, so let me explain it to you. ”

- "You may think my reason for killing him is ridiculous, but it's true. The reason is that he teased me yesterday! That's right, there's only one reason. ”

- "I know I'm an orphan and adopted by you. But you don't know that I not only have the dark attribute of the gold element, but also the spiritual attribute of the four divine attributes. I've always kept my strength hidden, so that one day I can make a splash. And this was only my original dream, and now my dream is to dominate the continent after my strength reaches the peak of the late pharaoh, and conquer those miserable and inferior people who do not know whether to live or die. You may not know it, but my family didn't even have any bones left because of the war, and I lived a living picking up garbage before you took it in. ”

- "So, I hate war, I hate those who have joined it. Originally, I wanted to give up after seeing Feng Yang's attitude, but that Lei Fang actually teased me without knowing whether he was alive or dead, how could I tolerate the murderer who had participated in the war to tease me! How can the strength of the middle stage of his demon soul be compared to the strength of my Pharaoh's early peak. Therefore, there is no one in Nanping who poses a threat to me today, including you! You can place a chase order, but I promise you won't find me. And, here, I don't want to say a lot more clearly. In short, after thirty years, I will come back, and I will also find a cultivator with the same attributes as me and cultivate him into a sharp sword. At that time, please protect your Nanping Kingdom. Because, I will attack relentlessly and recklessly, and since they don't agree with me, then there is no reason for them to exist. ”

- "Disciple Yang Yang worships!" ”

After Wen Min read the letter, he hammered down weakly with both hands, and the whole person seemed to be much older. Looking up at the window with a blank gaze······

The destruction of the Lei family was finally suppressed by the high-level leaders of Nanping Kingdom. With the passage of time, the tragedy of the Lei family was slowly forgotten by people and lost in the years······
