Chapter 1467: Domineering Lunargrasp (2/2)
The crowd didn’t know how to react to this. It was understandable that he would claim to be emperor considering his arrogant att.i.tude. However, his appointment of the G.o.ddess took everyone by surprise.
Many thought that his candidate would be the True Martial G.o.ddess. After all, she had advantages far beyond her compet.i.tors, not to mention that she was on his side at the moment. Thus, this strange decision made everyone think that the Seven Martial Pavilion was also on his side.
Zhentian coldly said: “Li Qiye, you can’t become emperor just because you want to.” He no longer referred to Li Qiye as “Daoist Li” as he was unable to restrain his anger.
Li Qiye flatly denied: “If I say I’ll become emperor, then I’ll become emperor.”
“Hmph!” The Seas.h.i.+eld Prince snorted at this time. He was quite unhappy as well since he was one of the candidates to become the sea G.o.d this generation. Several behemoths in Heaven Spirit had made a deal. In particular, the sea demons had reached a consensus that if the True Martial G.o.ddess had no objections, the Seas.h.i.+eld Prince would have priority over the Seven Martial G.o.ddess.
But now, Li Qiye has chosen his rival before everyone could say anything, how could the prince not become angry?
The prince didn’t dare to yell at Li Qiye, but the overlord couldn’t let this develop any further. If the convention actually decided for the Seven Martial G.o.ddess to be the next sea G.o.d, it would be very unfavorable for the prince.
The overlord coldly exclaimed: “Junior, a human like you is an outsider. Since when do outsiders get to dictate our sea demons’ business? The position of the sea G.o.d has to be decided by us!”
“I agree for the Seven Martial G.o.ddess to become the next sea G.o.d!” The True Martial G.o.ddess added with a smile.
Many were shaken after hearing this. This came from a very influential person, and she didn’t seem to be kidding.
With her support, it meant that the Seven Martial G.o.ddess would have an advantage over the Seas.h.i.+eld Prince.
The Roaring Conch was quite inferior to the Seven Martial Pavilion in terms of strength and influence; its status was not as prestigious among the sea demons. Even though the Seas.h.i.+eld Prince had the overlord as his backing, the pavilion also had people on the same level as the overlord.
This was the reason why the conch decided to work together with the other great powers in Heaven Spirit to shake the pavilion’s influence. But now, the True Martial G.o.ddess’ open support immediately weakened the prince’s position. The Seven Martial G.o.ddess’ status had been elevated. The island and the pavilion working together with a sea G.o.d’s daughter could definitely change the overall situation of the sea demon race.
At that time, as long as the pavilion said the word, many sea demon lineages would stand with them and this new alliance would completely suppress the conch’s prestige! The overlord was alarmed to hear this open support from the True Martial G.o.ddess.
“Your descendant, Seas.h.i.+eld, has no chance of becoming a sea G.o.d.” Li Qiye flatly said before the overlord could retort: “Tell him to come out since he has attacked one of my people. The wisest thing for him to do now is to take the initiative and accept his responsibilities.”
“Junior, what do you want!” The overlord glared at Li Qiye.
“Nothing.” He smiled in response: “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything or people will call me a bully. The person he attacked will be the one to kill him! Of course, I will give him a fair chance since that’s just who I am!”
With that, Su Yonghuang slowly came out. People held their breaths since everyone here knew about the feud between her and Seas.h.i.+eld.
The overlord coldly uttered: “The convention of myriad races isn’t suitable for a duel!”
He didn’t want Seas.h.i.+eld to fight under these circ.u.mstances. Winning was one thing, but if he were to lose, it would be a great blow to his status.
