Star Wars Civilization
Chapter 635: Struggle for power and profit
"I didn't expect that the secret realm was so dangerous, let alone that Shen Zheng was the nemesis of this secret realm._!~;" Sheng Hailan nodded slowly, "It seems that this secret realm was prepared for Shen Zheng."
"Elder Lan, what do you mean?" Shenghai frowned in displeasure, "Everything is just a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence." Sheng Hailong nodded, "However, this coincidence also illustrates the fate between Shen Zheng and our clan. Everyone, Shen Zheng went deep into the secret realm and rescued members of his clan, does this count as a credit?"
"Of course not!" Sheng Haiji's face turned cold. "It is certainly a good thing to be able to rescue these people, but the purpose of his trip was to explore the secret realm. He couldn't even complete the original purpose, and only rescued these people to deal with it. what is this?"
These words made Sheng Haixiong and others very dissatisfied, but they could not show it. They just lowered their heads and secretly hated them. [
"Who said Shen Zheng didn't explore the secrets of the secret realm?" Sheng Hailong snorted and raised his hand. The power of space surged, and the Holy Emperor's scepter emerged from his palm. "Look, everyone, this is the secret treasure obtained from the secret realm!"
"Oh?" The fifth elder stood up this time and stared at the scepter.
The power of the five people's thoughts was fully concentrated on the scepter, and they began to scan. With the support of Saint Hai Longyi, the scepter slowly flew to the center of the table for the five people to inspect.
"What a delicate scepter." Sheng Haiyuan sighed, "I can even feel the kingly aura on it."
"Secret treasure?" Shenghai was startled, then frowned. "There is some aura, but I don't feel anything else. Where did you find this strange thing? Is it considered a secret treasure? What is its use?"
The other four elders did not find anything magical about the scepter, and they all looked at Shen Zheng.
"I don't know." Shen Zheng shook his head slowly. "I only know that it is a relic of a worm holy emperor a long time ago."
"How do you know?" Shenghaiji asked.
"When the scepter was discovered, a vague thought came into my mind." Shen Zheng began to lie.
There is no need to explain everything to them. Telling that the Holy Spirit of the Insect and the owner of the scepter turned out to be the Origin Insect will only add to the criticism. This was Shen Zheng's idea.
Sheng Hailong nodded secretly and agreed with Shen Zheng's approach. This is indeed the best option and avoids a lot of troublesome interpretations.
"This is too interesting." Sheng Haiji expressed his doubts with a sneer.
"Elder Ji, the mission Shen Zheng received was to explore the secret realm and obtain the secret treasure.|^" Sheng Hailong said, "Now he has done it. As for whether the secret treasure is useful or not, that is none of his business. Maybe there is something hidden in this secret treasure. It’s a secret, but we can’t discover it yet, or maybe it has lost its effect because of the passage of time.”
"How is that possible!" Shenghaiji snorted coldly. "The secret realm swallowed up dozens of our Star Sea Kings. Dozens of people entered, and only twelve people returned. The power of the secret realm is evident. In such a powerful secret realm, the secret treasure hidden in it will actually become ineffective? What a joke!"
"No matter what, Shen Zheng has completed his mission." Sheng Hailong said, "We should fulfill the preamble and promote him to the elder of the outer city!"
"No." Sheng Haiji shook his head, "Who knows if he really went there, or if he didn't dare to go deep, escaped after rescuing these people, and found some strange thing to deal with us?"
"I knew you would say that." Sheng Hailong's pride was palpable. "But Shen Zheng also made a great contribution, which no one can deny!"
"Oh?" Sheng Haiji sneered, "Then let's tell it and see."
"Okay!" Sheng Hailong turned around and pointed at Xue Su beside Shen Zheng. "This girl Xue Su is also the King of Star Sea and Shen Zheng's maid. Now she has had an adventure in the secret realm, received the secret law inheritance of the master of the secret realm, has mastered the technique of brewing secret realm orbs, and has become a bead master! "[
"What!?" All the elders were stunned. Everyone's eyes widened and they stared at Xuesu and never left.
"Baozhu Master?" After a long time, Sheng Hailan was the first to recover. "Elder Long, this joke cannot be made casually."
"Miss Xuesu, show them your hand." Sheng Hailong smiled and looked at Xuesu. "The secret realm is hard to come by, but the space orb can be refined and formed at any time. Just ask for it."
"Okay." Xuexu smiled, took a step forward, and gently raised her hand. Space power condensed in her hands, gradually spinning, forming a vaguely transparent sphere. The power of thoughts also flows out and joins it, as if starting to create a secret realm, but it does not consume as much power as when creating a secret realm.
The sphere rotated faster and faster, Xuexu's expression gradually became more focused, and the power of thoughts and space continued to join it. After almost ten minutes, the transparent sphere turned into a translucent sphere.
"Have you seen it?" Sheng Hailong said, "Everyone here knows the skills of refining the power of the secret realm and making space orbs. From transparent beads to translucent beads, this process, if we follow our usual refining method, , if it is prepared slowly in the body, it will take at least half a year, and if it is prepared with concentration, it will take a month. Now that Miss Xue Su has completed it in ten minutes, it can be said that she has become a jewel master. !”
"This... this is impossible" Sheng Haiji roared, "Who knows if she is being mysterious and lying here?"
"That's easy." Xuexu said with a smile while refining her strength, "I estimate that it will take about a month to prepare such a space orb. Don't be in a hurry, just watch it slowly."
"No need." Sheng Hailan shook his head slowly. "We are all experts in the art of refining. Although we are not as good as orb masters, we have been immersed in this art for a long time. Everyone, we should admit that this girl Xue Su is indeed a rare talent and a true orb master."
Several elders looked at Xuesu with admiration and respect in their eyes.
"You..." Sheng Haiji blushed and stared at everyone.
"Elder Ji." Sheng Hailong said with a threatening tone in his tone. "You also know the status of a jewel master. If you cause our clan to lose a jewel master because of your selfish motives... How do you think you should explain it to the family head?"
Shenghai Ji's expression changed, and he looked at Shenghai Liefeng, but the other party shook his head, and said a thought: "Brother Ji, this matter is really too big, you can't act arrogantly. If you really force her to leave, the head of the family said Maybe he will treat you..."
He didn't say the result, but Sheng Haiji could imagine it. What is a jewel master? There are only a few top talents in a huge empire, and they have a very high status. Generally, the head of the family must be courteous when meeting him, and even the emperor of the empire must treat him with kindness.
As soon as he thought about it, he didn't dare to use force anymore, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything anymore.
"Everyone, do you think that with this great achievement, is Shen Zheng qualified to serve as an elder in the outer city?" Sheng Hailong asked without pride.
"Yes!" Everyone said almost in unison.
Hearing what the four elders said, Sheng Haixiong couldn't help but smile on his face, and the other eleven were also happy in their hearts.
"Elder Ji, what's your opinion?" Sheng Hailong asked Sheng Haiji with a deliberate smile.
Sheng Haiji glared at Sheng Hailong and gritted his teeth in anger. He and Shen Zheng have no hatred, and there is no reason to go against Shen Zheng. He just has a problem with Sheng Hailong. Sheng Hailong ranks third in strength among the elders, and Sheng Hailan, who ranks second, does not like to fight, and mostly lets other people deal with things. The elders make decisions, so only Sheng Hailong often disputes with Sheng Haiji, which makes Sheng Haiji dislike him and always wants to suppress Sheng Hailong at the elders meeting.
And this time, Sheng Hailong actively promoted Shen Zheng, which made Sheng Haiji think that Shen Zheng was a close confidant of Sheng Hailong, so he had to suppress Shen Zheng no matter what, so as to attack Sheng Hailong.
I didn't want to fail, but now I have created a strong enemy for myself out of thin air. [
He couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred.
"I have no objection." He said angrily, "But now there are enough elders in the outer city and there are no vacancies. How do you plan to arrange Shen Zheng?"
"This is easy to handle." Sheng Hailong immediately took over the conversation, "Sheng Haiyun, the elder of Shucheng, is the successor of Elder Shen Zheng. I think he will definitely be willing to guard the same city with Elder Shen Zheng. In the future, when the head of the family returns, I will tell him The head of the family has made it clear that he will build another city for Elder Shen Zheng.”
"Build another city?" Sheng Haiji couldn't help but continue to fight against Sheng Hailong. "Let Shen Zheng live alone?"
"Elders." Sheng Haixiong took a step forward and bowed deeply. "The twelve of us would have died in the secret realm of water if not for the help of Elder Shen Zheng. Elder Shen Zheng saved our lives, and we thought we were repaying it. However, since we have been trapped in the secret realm for so long, our original positions have been Someone has replaced him. So we would like to ask the elders to allow us to follow Elder Shen Zheng.”
"Okay." Sheng Hailong nodded immediately. "Otherwise you really have nowhere to go. What do you think?"
"I agree with what you said." Sheng Haixing nodded. Sheng Haiyuan also nodded: "Yes, the male city lord can be the city lord of Elder Shen Zheng's new city."
"I agree." Sheng Hailan also nodded.
"Whatever." Shenghai waved his hands angrily, but as soon as he expressed his complete agreement, he saw Shenghai Liefeng's eyes that were full of hatred.
"What's wrong?" He asked involuntarily.
"Brother Ji, you are wrong!" Shenghai Liefeng responded with his thoughts, quite reproachfully. "You shouldn't have stopped Shen Zheng from being promoted to elder this time. As a result, you gave Holy Sea Dragon an excuse to ridicule you. But you should have stopped this matter! This time, dozens of people went there, and only these ten were left. What do these two mean? It means they are the elite among the elites! Isn’t it a pity that such elites were given to Sheng Hailong for nothing?”
"Oops!" Sheng Haiji secretly screamed in his heart, but having expressed his stance, there was nothing he could do. Holy Sea Liefeng sighed secretly, but on the surface he could only nod in agreement.
Sheng Haixiong and others all looked happy, and immediately saluted Shen Zheng: "Elder Shen Zheng, from now on we will follow the elder and never have second thoughts!"
Sheng Haiji was so angry that his face turned green.
Shen Zheng nodded and smiled, but he felt uninterested in his heart.
This kind of struggle for power by big forces is not suitable for me. What I need is a free sky, a world full of humanity that belongs to me and my partners.
"Everyone, I have a heartfelt request." He looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
