Chapter 73: Sleek
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall fell silent.
It didn't seem to expect others to give an answer, just a slight pause, Xu Changqing continued: "Regarding the rumors of the son of the true demon, the old man has seen three different statements in the book. The first theory is that the son of the true demon is the killing tool of the demon lord, and after the demon blood in his body awakens, his temperament will change greatly, and he will be controlled by the demon lord and become a real demon. ”
"The second theory is that the son of the true demon is the coordinates left by the demon lord in this world, and when someone gathers the statue of the demon god and opens up the plane passage for the demon clan to enter this continent, the son of the true demon will become the guide of the demon army. ”
"The last theory is that the Son of the True Demon is just a host, the mother chosen by the Seven Demon Lords for the Blood of the True Demon, and his only role is to provide nutrients for the seed of the True Demon Blood, and when the seed matures, the Demon Lord will pick it to enhance his strength, which of these three statements do you think is more credible?"
The meeting hall was quiet, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone's faces became unnatural. None of the people who were qualified to participate in the Senate tonight were fools, whether it was the head of the hunting group, the captain of the mercenaries, or the few cultivators who had advanced cultivation, they all deliberately avoided this question when they took a stand, because no matter which way they said, their reasons could be easily exposed.
"Master Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Cao Qidou's shrill voice broke the silence in the arena: "Is there anything in the entire continent that you don't know about the rumors about the son of the True Demon? Not to mention the heads of the families here, even the homeless people in the city are also household names." Today, everyone is gathered together to discuss a major matter related to the life and death of Black Rock City, not to listen to your knowledge!"
Xu Changqing turned his head to look at Cao Qidou, smiled faintly, and said, "Elder Cao, just because today's decision is related to the survival of Black Rock City, the old man feels that he needs to be cautious. ”
"Be cautious, how can you be cautious!" Cao Qidou screamed: "I understand what you mean, don't you just don't agree to hand over people? Then I ask you, if you don't hand over people, what should the demon army do if you attack the city!"
Hearing this, the hunter cultivator sitting on the right side followed suit.
"Yes, if you don't hand over people, the demon army will attack the city, what should I do?"
"It's not that we're afraid of the demon army, it's that the difference in strength is too great, and we can't beat it. ”
"Whatever the rumors are true, the most important thing right now is to save the people of the city. ”
"That's it, that's tens of thousands of lives. ”
......
The noise in the room became louder and louder, and Ge Tianbing had to knock on the table a few times to signal everyone to be quiet.
"What do you mean, Old Xu?"
Xu Changqing glanced at Mu Yang and said slowly: "This matter needs to be cautious. ”
"Prudently, what does that mean exactly? To hand over or not to pay?" asked a cultivator on the other side, in a loud voice.
Xu Changqing smiled faintly and did not reply, but turned his head to look at Yu Hua, the owner of the auction house in a red robe on the chair next to him, and said, "What does Boss Yu think?"
"It's really embarrassing. Yu Hua sighed, looked at Mu Yang and said: "If in the past, if he met the son of the true demon, the old man would have killed him even if he fought hard, but now everyone has seen that although Mu Gongzi has only been in Black Rock City for half a year, he has done a lot of good things for the people, and this time to break the Xue Mansion is also his first achievement." If he hadn't personally admitted his identity, why wouldn't I have associated such a young and kind teenager with the son of a true demon, Boss Yan, what do you say?"
"Boss Yu is so right. Yan Sha is the youngest of the five families here, and his appearance has typical border features, with thick eyebrows and black eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a face as hard as steel needles and a beard that exudes the unique wildness of a man.
"But now that the demon army is besieging the city, and the son of the true demon is named, for the lives and safety of tens of thousands of people in the city, there must be a trade-off, you are right, Yan shopkeeper. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu was a little stunned, she looked at this and that, and finally couldn't help but pull Muyang's clothes, and whispered, "Hey." ”
"What's wrong?" Mu Yang glanced at Ye Yu expressionlessly.
"What are they talking about?" Ye Yu frowned, looking thoughtful, "Why can't I understand a word?"
"It's weird if you understand. Mu Yang said lightly: "This is called kicking the ball." ”
"What do you mean?" Ye Yu said puzzled.
"It's about shirking responsibility. Mu Yang snorted and said coldly: "No one wants to express their stance first, they all want others to come forward, for fear of offending people, a group of old foxes." ”
Ye Yu's long eyelashes flickered a few times, and the doubts on his face became even thicker: "Offending people?"
"Who else do you say?" Mu Yang's eyes showed a look like an idiot.
"You?" Ye Yu said in surprise by pointing at Muyang's nose.
"Could it be you?"
"Oh, I see. ”
Ye Yumao grabbed Mu Yang's arm as if he was stunned, and said, "Are they afraid that you will retaliate against them after you say it?"
"What they are afraid of is not Muyang, but the demon army. Ge Tianbing on the side couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Why?" Ye Yu let go of his hand, pulled a chair and leaned towards Ge Tianbing.
Ge Tianbing looked at Mu Yang, sighed helplessly, and explained: "The son of the True Demon is the person the Demon Lord is looking for, and from the standpoint, he should have belonged to the Demon Clan's camp. Although there have been several infights between the son of the true demon and the demon lord in history, the major event of being taken advantage of by the human demon clan has made the human race fear him more than the hatred of the demon race, and some people even hope to use the son of the true demon to deal with the demon clan with a fluke mentality, but that is only an exception. But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, the strength of the true demon child, and I am talking about the strength not now, but in the future. Now that the demon army is besieging the city and asking for Muyang by name, these old guys want to hand over Muyang in order to protect themselves, but they are afraid that he will be jealous and hated by him after saying it, and they are afraid that he will incite the demon army to deal with them when he arrives at the demon army camp, do you understand?"
After listening to Ge Tianbing's explanation, Ye Yuleng was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted, and suddenly said: "I understand, does this mean that you want to be a and want to build a memorial arch?"
Ge Tianbing didn't come up in one breath, choking and coughing violently.
"Where did you learn this?" Muyang was also taken aback by Ye Yu's words, and couldn't help but ask.
"Cuiyun Tower. Ye Yu replied casually, and hurriedly asked, "Is that what you mean, isn't it?"
Without waiting for Muyang to respond, Feng Sanniang's voice suddenly came, her voice was very loud, and it was full of anger.
"Several patriarchs, you have shirked for a long time, what do you mean? Since you don't express your position, then I'll talk about Cuiyunlou's position, Muyang can't hand it over!"
Seeing that the few people sitting on the seat all frowned, Feng Sanniang snorted coldly and said: "The reason why I can't hand over is very clear just now, although Muyang is the son of a true demon, he has not done anything to harm the people of Black Rock City, on the contrary, he also helped the city lord to eradicate Xue Sanliang, an undercover agent of the demon clan who harmed the city, and it is enough to rush this alone." ”
