Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 2697: The Cunning Demon Yuan

Sponsored

Everyone nodded in agreement, and one of the Primordial said in a deep voice, "Since that’s the case, how do we choose a leader from among us?"

"Hence, that’s the purpose of Su Alliance Leader inviting everyone here to discuss together!" Nine-headed Demon Yuan smiled faintly, "Today, we primarily discuss a suitable candidate, one whom we all collectively nominate. This person must be able to command the crowd. Moreover, since it is our selected leader, we must unconditionally follow his instructions; what does everyone think?"

The crowd looked at each other, and Nine-headed Demon Yuan’s words are indeed correct. But the problem is, how do we select?

Everyone has their own little calculations, each has their own ideas. In such a situation, choosing the real leader genuinely isn’t easy.

After all, those present are all elite figures of their era. Apart from encountering the Three Great Ancient Primordial and those reverse fate existences, who is willing to submit to others?

"Demon Yuan, you said earlier, to choose someone who can command the crowd, how exactly can he do that?" A man said in a deep voice, "We are respectively from different eras, perhaps in one’s own era, one can make others submit. But will people from other eras submit to you?"

Others also nodded in agreement, this is the true predicament.

Actually, if it wasn’t for the difference in eras, this matter would have been resolved long ago. Precisely because of the issue of differing eras, the Heavenly Warriors from Ancient Times refuse to submit to those from the Primordial Era, and those from the Primordial Era further refuse to submit to those from the Ancient Times, leading to the current situation.

Nine-headed Demon Yuan smiled faintly, looking towards Su Yang beside him: "Su Alliance Leader, since you’ve gathered us here, you must have thought about these issues, right? I wonder what insightful ideas you have, Su Alliance Leader?"

Everyone looked at Su Yang, Su Yang appeared calm, but inside he was cursing the shamelessness of Nine-headed Demon Yuan. After talking for so long, he still ended up directing the matter onto himself, clearly wanting Su Yang to be the scapegoat.

In this situation, no matter what method Su Yang proposes, it’s unlikely to satisfy everyone. And of all things, having him say it, it’s bound to offend people, considered a thankless task.

"You esteemed seniors are here, in front of all, this junior isn’t worthy of any insightful ideas," Su Yang said lightly: "With all esteemed elders present, I am unsuitable to show off before masters."

"Su Alliance Leader is too modest. Though we are older by a few years, each being from different eras, has different viewpoints on this matter," Nine-headed Demon Yuan laughed, "Moreover, Su Alliance Leader reconstructed Reincarnation and brought us back, which counts as our benefactor. With this matter being proposed by Su Alliance Leader, I believe everyone will support it!"

No one spoke, except the gaze of everyone on Su Yang was evidently disdainful. Nine-headed Demon Yuan elevated Su Yang to such a high position, aiming to set him up for ruin; first letting everyone be dissatisfied with Su Yang, expelling him from the stage.

After some evasion between Su Yang and Nine-headed Demon Yuan, they redirected the topic to the crowd. The Eternal Divine Emperor also interjected a few words, maintaining the field’s steadiness, preventing everyone’s focus from shifting entirely onto Su Yang.

Yet as discussions continued, the people present began showing impatience. Given the current scenario of discussions, when would results emerge? The debate became increasingly heated until it showed signs of quarreling.

In the midst of it all, Su Yang felt helpless.

The Human Emperor had insisted for him to become the Human Clan leader. But the issue is, none of these Heavenly Warriors submits to anyone, let alone would they submit to a junior from later generations. When these individuals contested among themselves, how could Su Yang assume leadership?

The World Melting Furnace’s owner also remarked that Su Yang should handle this situation himself. Looking at the current scenario, is this something Su Yang could indeed manage?

Seeing the ongoing disputes, suddenly, a rugged-looking man couldn’t help but shouted, "Everyone shut up!"

The entire crowd halted, simultaneously casting cold glances at this man. After all, amid this gathering of strong figures, none submits to the other; speaking like this would naturally incite collective anger.

The man ignored everyone’s wrath, directly stating, "What’s the point of all this worthless chatter? We all came here wanting to become this leader; why the hypocrisy? Since we can’t discuss the most suitable method, then let’s be straightforward. We are all cultivators, cultivating all these years ultimately aims for strength. Regardless of the Primordial, Ancient Times, or the current era, strength is esteemed above all. Since that’s the case, don’t we simply choose the strongest as the leader of the Human Clan?"

The crowd exchanged glances; the man’s proposal, though straightforward, rings true. If everyone relies on their own abilities, then the selected one will truly command the crowd!

"I support this proposal!" directly stated a Heavenly Warrior.

Others also chimed in, expressing their agreement to this proposal.

Of course, some more calculating individuals remained silent. Since this involves the Human Clan competing, inevitably relates to damages. If someone pursues accountability later, the originator can’t evade responsibility. Those with deep calculations naturally won’t be involved.

However, their silence equaled acquiescence; hence, no one essentially opposed.

Su Yang felt truly helpless, not particularly favoring this proposal. But since everyone agreed, opposing it would place him at odds with the crowd. If they forced him to offer a better solution, what could he do?

Yet if following this method, Su Yang genuinely had no hope left.

Not that Su Yang desires to become the Human Clan leader, but whether others trust him is another matter.

To say the least, leaders like the Immortal Venerable or Nine-headed Demon Yuan—if they lead the Human Clan, conditions would only worsen.

Su Yang looked at the Eternal Divine Emperor, who didn’t speak, only sighed softly.

During this uproar, all visibly carried bottled-up anger. If anyone opposed now, they’d become the target of everyone’s ire. Despite the Eternal Divine Emperor’s assertiveness, he dared not oppose everyone.

Seeing the Eternal Divine Emperor remaining silent, Su Yang could only likewise choose silence. With so many people present, he was the least qualified to speak. If he opposed it, he’d only incite everyone, proving counterproductive!
