"What's wrong?!" Looking at Ximen Fuxue, who was wrapped like a mummy in front of him, Lu Xiaofeng stood aside and asked with a smile.

"I succeeded and failed!" Simon Fuxue glanced at him and said indifferently.

"What do you mean?!" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Touched the threshold?!" It was not Ximen Fuxue who spoke, but Ye Gucheng, who had just walked in. I saw him walk to Ximen Blowing Snow, and said after condensing for a while.

"Yes. Simon Fuxue nodded.

"That's fine!" Ye Gucheng nodded, "Although I haven't stepped on this threshold, I have already stepped in, and the future road to heaven has been opened!"

"Not bad. Simon Fuxue nodded and didn't say anything more.

This battle with Hakbass allowed Ximen to break the shackles on his body and lay a solid foundation for the future achievement of the Supreme Grand Master. Although compared with Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow is still in the situation of a half-step supreme grandmaster, far inferior to the current Ye Gucheng, but compared to Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow's 'Dao' is more difficult, and the future achievements are even higher!

Ximen Fuxue knows this, Ye Gucheng also knows it, and everyone who understands the mystery knows it!

"You should have a good rest for the past year and a half. At this time, Chu Liuxiang walked in from outside, and said with a smile to Ximen Chuixue, "Fortunately, it's not a big deal." ”

"Ahh

"What's wrong with you?!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ling Hu Chong in surprise with a puzzled expression.

"Let Sister Mingxin beat me up!" Ling Hu Chong glanced at him angrily, then looked at Ximen Fuxue and said, "You kid is stubborn, provoke Sister Mingxin to think that my protection is not good, so I have a good 'see' of my current martial arts!

"It's the master's mother!" Ximen Fuxue looked at Ling Hu Chong, the corners of his mouth retreated, and then said seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Hu Chong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It's the master mother who has become, right? The Mingxin master mother has taken a fancy to you since she was a child, and almost regards you as a younger brother, even the Mingkong master mother has a lot of complaints about this! It's just that you kid has been proud since he was a child, and he never takes things seriously! Pity my ......."

"Pity you for what?!" At this time, a female voice with a strong sense of laughter came, and everyone present was shocked.

"I've seen the Mother of the Bright Sky!" everyone couldn't help but salute respectfully to the woman who entered it. The person who came was none other than Mingkong, who heard the news.

"Boy, you have a lot of grudges against my sister!" Mingkong chuckled lightly and said with a coquettish smile in front of Ling Hu Chong.

"No, no, no!" Ling Hu Chong was shocked, and immediately shook his head violently and said, "Where is this?" The subordinates don't have the slightest grudge against the main mother, which is all ...... It's all ........"

Ling Hu Chong didn't know what to say for a while, before Gu Yi married a wife, all the women, including Mingkong, were the eldest sisters in front of Ling Hu Chong, so everyone's feelings for them were mostly family affection (individual, you know).

In such an emotion, everyone gets along very happily, even people like Ying Yue and Lin Chaoying, who are extremely arrogant and powerful, treat them as sisters and brothers. Therefore, in the past, like Linghu Chong, they would make some jokes, just like the brothers and sisters of ordinary children's families!

It wasn't until later, after Gu Yi married the daughters in one fell swoop, that everything changed!

No matter how close Gu Yi is, his temperament and identity make everyone respect him from the bottom of their hearts! Even Gu Yi's wives also have such thoughts!

So, after the girls married Gu Yi, it was obvious that everyone had changed from joking about Ying Yue from the beginning to being respectful now, and they didn't dare to joke as before.

"Okay!" Mingkong pursed his lips, and Mingxin was a little unimpressed by the fact that the difference in his identity had changed the previous atmosphere. It's just that she also knows that it is impossible for her to reverse this situation by herself! Especially although Gu Yi didn't say it, the estrangement that she had as a superior made this situation worse!

"It doesn't seem like you're a big problem. Mingkong walked to the west gate and looked the other party up and down.

"Thank you for your care!" "Although Ximen Fuxue couldn't move, he still responded very respectfully.

"My husband was going to come to see you, but when I thought of him coming, you guys must not be very natural, so let me come to comfort you on his behalf. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I have a mother!" The expression of gratitude in Simon Blowing Snow's eyes was very obvious. Although he has an arrogant temperament, he has reverence for Gu Yi from the bottom of his heart! After all, it was Gu Yi who rescued him from a group of slaves and taught martial arts, and finally got to the present day where Ximen is blowing snow!

"Okay, I'm leaving, too!" Mingkong nodded, and then said, "You have to recover quickly, at most a year, your husband will have a big move!"

"Yes!" Ximen Fuxue said with a tense expression.

"How many of you ......" Ming Kong finally glanced at the rest of the people, and said solemnly, "It's the same, there's still a year to go!"

"Yes!" said everyone with the same solemn faces.

======================================================

"Three days have come, how do you choose?!" Oakes asked solemnly, looking at the many priests below.

After three full days, all the priests gathered again.

"We've already decided!" the white-robed old priest stepped forward, looked at Oakes and said, "Extend the position of the Barbarian King of Salton!"

"Oh?!" Oakes looked at the other party in some surprise, he could hardly imagine that the other party actually chose the most unfavorable option for him!

"However, the time limit for the extension is not fixed. The old priest nodded, and continued, "We will immediately train a new generation of heirs, and as soon as the new heirs grow up, Salton must abdicate immediately!"

“...... Okay!" Oakes looked down in thought for a while, and finally nodded.

In fact, Oakes had thought that the priests would not allow Salton to continue the throne.

After all, from the priests' point of view, no matter how chaotic the barbarian race is, it can eventually be cleaned up. The entire royal family occupies an absolutely powerful position among the barbarian race, and once there is a real event that threatens the royal rule, the priests can also take action, right?

Now the priests allowed Salton to continue the throne, which was the greatest compromise possible! In this sense, the priests, although greedy and power-hungry, were not the kind of people who did not know right from wrong!

When the priests had left, only the high priest Oakes and the white-robed priest who had been the oldest were left.

"What else does the ancestor have to say?!" Seeing that the old priest did not leave, Oakes naturally knew that the other party still had something to say to him.

"Oakes, you should know what kind of threat it would be to let Salton extend the throne!" The white-robed priest had a serious face, and the wrinkles on his face like the bark of an old tree made his whole expression particularly serious and terrifying.

"Oakes knows. Oakes nodded, his expression serious.

"I remember, Saltton is your nephew?" the old priest asked after a pause.

"Yes. Oakes was stunned for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Salton is the youngest son of my brother Markoda, and he became the Barbarian King in the first place, and the reason for my support is behind it!"

"I see. The old priest nodded, and said nothing.

Within the barbarian race, it is not uncommon for high priests of high status to support a new generation of barbarian kings. Oakes said it directly, and it also meant to be frank.

After all, in the history of the barbarian race, this situation is not a violation. You must know that even the white-robed old priest in front of him used to be the identity of the high priest, a supporter of the previous generation of barbarian kings!

"You and I both know where the conflict between the barbarian king and the priests lies. The old priest looked at Oakes and said in a deep voice, "Although for the sake of the entire royal family, this time, under my leadership, the priests have chosen their most disadvantageous option. But that doesn't mean that the priests have given up their power, you know?!"

"Understood. Oakes' heart tightened, and he replied respectfully.

"If the new generation of barbarian king heirs is cultivated, Salton must not shirk in any name or situation, and must abdicate unconditionally!" the old priest stared at Oakes and said in a stern tone, "If he violates this rule, we priests will exercise the power given to us by the heavens!"

"......" Oakes didn't speak, just lowered his head and listened. The so-called 'power given by God' to the priests' means that the priests have the power to change the barbarian king, and whether this 'power' is really 'given by God' is not to say first, let's just say that its meaning includes force!

Oakes never underestimated the strength of the priests, as a member of the priests and now the leader of the priesthood group, Oakes is well aware of the strength of the priesthood group!

As a group of people who don't usually participate in political affairs, their biggest thing to relieve loneliness and boredom is to practice martial arts! In the entire royal clan and even the entire barbarian clan, the priest group has the most powerful military existence!

It's just that this group of people rarely shows their strength in front of people, and the total number is really small, so the true strength of this group is not known by people outside the priestly group!

The words of the old priest are very clear, once Salton does not abdicate according to their intentions, then a group of priests will take action and force Salton to abdicate by force!

These words are said to Oakes, and there is also a telling Oakes to be prepared and not to mistake yourself in it.

The old priest actually knew all along that Saltton's relationship with Oakes, and he also knew very well that Saltton's ascension had a lot to do with Oakes' support. The reason why he made his words clear at this time is actually very obvious, that is, to let Oakes know his position and not forget his identity at that time.

And what about Oakes?!

In fact, he is also very aware of the problems he faces, and he has long been prepared for future events.

For the sake of the entire royal family and the stability of the barbarian race, he can temporarily put aside the interests of the priests and achieve the stability and prosperity of the entire barbarian race with the greatest self-sacrifice.

But that doesn't mean Oakes doesn't care about his identity and power!

Oakes, who had been ambitious since childhood, was also interested in the position of barbarian king, but for various reasons, he chose the path of a priest. And in the later years, Oakes became the supreme grand master, and more than thirty hundred years ago, he became the high priest, leading the entire priesthood group.

For the power in his hands, Oakes is not as unimportant as outsiders know!

Deep down, Oakes' desire for power and control is no less than anyone else's!

When Salton was competing for the position of the Barbarian King, there were a lot of unspeakable cats in it!

You must know that Saltton was not the best candidate at the beginning! In addition to Saltton, there was another person who was expected and favored by the entire barbarian race! And Salton was just another choice, a candidate who was once lamented by people as being born at the wrong time!

It's just that later, those who people were more expecting died in an 'accident', and Salton became the only candidate for everyone!

At the beginning, the excellent candidate was killed by an accident when he met the Giant Clan in a trial, and there are many puzzling details that have been remembered by many people to this day!

However, since the Heir Trial had just begun, this person had not already gained an absolute advantage like Hakbath and was not very old, so his death did not arouse enough vigilance among the barbarians. On the contrary, because of the cattiness, there were discordant voices within the royal family.

But that's all for later!

Later, when Salton became the Barbarian Queen, the dead man was no longer a topic of conversation. Even if there are still some people in the royal family who are quite suspicious of this, they can only hide their doubts!

Oakes supports Saltton, because through Salton, Oakes can enjoy the power of many more barbarian kings! And in the more than 100 years of Saltton's rule, Oakes has indeed gained a lot of satisfaction!

It's just that like all barbarian kings, Salton is unwilling to be controlled by Oakes, nor is he willing to be controlled by the priests, his ambition is gradually amplified, and he has an independent mind!

With the death of Hakbass this time, the first emotion that appeared in Oaks was not anger against the Terrans, but suspicion of Saltton!

After all, realistically speaking, the most beneficial from Hakbass's death was the barbarian king Saltton!

The reason why he supports Salton to continue to extend the throne is not because of Oakes' trust in Salton, but because he is completely from the perspective of the royal family and the entire barbarian race!

In fact, it doesn't take the old priest's awakening, Oakes already has a plan in his heart to restrain Salton and prevent the other party from getting out of his control and ultimately damaging himself!

In any case, the hidden danger is already here, and it only depends on what kind of outcome it will end up with!
