Qin Shi looked at the nervous Cai Die and frowned, "What's going on?"
"Actually, I don't know what's going on either. A while ago, there was a mission for Elder Cai Qing to complete. Then, he left the clan and never came back. This time, I happened to come here when I went out and saw Grandpa Cai Qing being captured."
"Do you know who those people are?" Qin Shi asked.
Cai Die suddenly clenched her fist, puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "I know, it's Elder Cai Xuan's people. They have always been brooding over the position of the Patriarch. In this election, the junior Patriarch can't be chosen by anyone else, but Cai Xuan insisted on competing. Elder Cai Qing is also an elder who has the right to speak. They must be afraid that Elder Cai Qing will vote for the junior Patriarch, so they secretly made a move against Elder Cai Qing."
Qin Shi nodded his head. This was similar to what he had guessed. The Rainbow Magic Cloud Snake Clan was indeed having internal strife because of the Patriarch.
"Isn't the position of the Rainbow Magic Cloud Snake Clan's Patriarch hereditary?
The previous Patriarch abdicated, so it should be unconditionally held by his descendants. "Long Xuan said with a frown.
Looking at Long Xuan, Cai Die was surprised. Because she was also from the Beast Clan, she could clearly feel that Long Xuan had a bloodline that was not weaker than her own. Looking at the Beast Realm, there were only three other clans besides the Rainbow Magic Cloud Snake Clan that had this kind of bloodline.
"He's from the Dragon Clan, a helper that I found." Qin Shi saw Little Cai Die's doubt and smiled.
"So it's big brother from the Dragon Clan."
Little Cai Die nodded and said, "That's right. Our Seven Colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan's bloodline is different from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. Our clan only has one pure bloodline, unlike the Dragon and Phoenix Clans that have multiple pure bloodlines. Therefore, our Seven Colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan's patriarch has always been hereditary. But this time, it's a bit different. I don't know what power Elder Cai Xuan borrowed to make her bloodline mutate. Although it can't compare to our Seven Colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan's pure bloodline, it's not the slightest bit inferior."
"In addition, the Little Patriarch has not been in the Beast Realm for a long time. Now that he has suddenly returned, his authority in the clan is unstable and he is unpopular. Elder Cai Xuan has spent ten thousand years paving the way for him, and now there are many people in the Seven Coloured Magic Cloud Snake Clan who support him," Cai Die said helplessly.
"To be honest, if the Little Patriarch wants to win this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Cai Die sighed.
"What if we save Elder Cai Qing?
How many votes does Xiao Mi Cai have? "Qin Shi asked after a moment of thought.
Cai Die calculated for a moment before saying, "Adding Elder Cai Qing and the other two trapped elders, the little patriarch should be able to fight Elder Cai Xuan to a draw, but in terms of the human heart, it will still be difficult."
"A draw?"
Qin Shi nodded. This way, at least there was still a chance, so he didn't plan on delaying, "Cai Die, lead the way for us. We'll go save Elder Cai Qing now."
"En, okay." Cai Die nodded and then led the way for Qin Shi's group.
If it wasn't for Cai Die leading the way, it would really be difficult to find a path in this corrosive void filled with miasma.
This void was like a giant illusion array, with tens of thousands of mountains and black clouds, but with Cai Die leading the way, it was much easier. Qin Shi's group quickly passed through the miasma, they didn't want to be like headless flies randomly bumping into a wall like before.
In this corner of the Beast Realm that was shrouded in demonic qi, it was the place with the densest demonic qi. The visibility here was less than five meters, and there were countless withered ancient trees that had already been infected by the demonic qi. It gave people a very strange feeling.
In the deepest part of this corner was a sunken basin, and in the center was something that looked like an altar. There were three stone pillars on the altar, all of which were covered in demonic runes. The most shocking thing was that these runes could actually move. To be more accurate, they were more like strange demonic insects. Tens of thousands of them were wrapped around the stone pillars, causing the three stone pillars to emit a blood-red color.
Each of the three stone pillars had a haggard old figure tied to it. The three figures were in a very miserable state. Their clothes were ragged and covered in bright red wounds. Countless demonic insects were biting them bit by bit. Some of them had even crawled into their flesh, as if they would hollow out the three of them at any time.
This pain made the three of them tremble fiercely. There was no trace of blood on their faces. It was too horrible to look at. But even so, the three of them clenched their teeth and didn't even make a sound. They just let cold sweat drip down from their dirty foreheads.
"Haha, Cai Qing, on account of our past friendship, I don't want to take the lives of the three of you. As long as the three of you promise Elder Cai Xuan to hand over your three electoral votes, I won't kill you. In the future, when Elder Cai Xuan becomes the Patriarch, she will put you in an important position. How about it?"
There were three black shadows in front of the altar that was too horrible to look at. One of the three black shadows spoke.
The person who opened his mouth was covered in seven-colored light. However, his seven-colored light was different from Cai Xia and the others. There was a faint color in it. Although it was very subtle, it was very obvious. It turned out to be a thick dark color.
Even this person's eyes had been devoured and turned black, without a trace of white.
The two people beside the man didn't open their mouths. These two people were very illusory, giving people a very unreal feeling. They were wearing a blood-red robe, which was branded with a blood-red eye totem.
"Bah!"
An old man on the stone pillar spat out a mouthful of saliva, then looked at the Elder with a sarcastic face and sneered, "I, Cai Qing, have been following the Patriarch for thousands of years. You want me to betray him? Dream on!"
"Hehe, it's just a yellow-haired little girl. She wants to be the Patriarch of our Seven-colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan?
I think you're the one who's dreaming. "
The Elder laughed disdainfully, "Cai Yan, you persuade Cai Qing. If I were you, I wouldn't be stubborn right now. Even without the votes of the three of you, this time, Cai Xuan will certainly be the Patriarch. At that time, that little girl will be handed over to Ma Group. Why do you want to lose your life because of her? Seeing that you're the elders of my Seven-colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan, I'm giving you a chance now."
Cai Yan disdainfully smiled and said, "I can bleed, but my old bones won't break. Cai You, dream on."
The Elder named Cai You frowned, but he soon calmed down and smiled, "Ai, it's a pity, but it's okay. The bloodthirsty demon insects on this stone pillar will slowly gnaw away at your blood essence. In the end, you will become an empty shell without a soul."
"Even if we die, we won't compromise with you." Cai Qing coldly said, "Ming Group's lackeys, you won't have a good end either!"
At this time, Cai You slightly clenched his fists, then he sighed, "Forget it, I originally wanted to let you guys stay a bit longer and watch Elder Cai Xuan ascend to the throne, but since you guys refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me."
After saying that, Cai You suddenly took a step back, making way for the other two shadows. He flattered, "Two Venerables, I'll leave these three old dogs to you."
The two shadows nodded, then they didn't speak any nonsense. One of them raised his hand and clenched his fist in the air. Suddenly, the air around the three stone pillars seemed to be sucked out, and a huge pressure fell down. Immediately after, the bloodthirsty demon insects went crazy, and some of them actually became more than half a meter big.
"Under the attack of the bloodthirsty demon insects, you guys will become a pile of bones in half an hour at most." One of the elders said indifferently.
Cai Qing and the other two became very nervous. The pain of having their bones gnawed by thousands of insects was unbearable.
However, at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the forest. "Haha, Team Ma, I can really see you disgusting people everywhere I go."
The two shadows' faces suddenly sank.
"Who!"
Several gazes immediately turned towards the source of the sound. Following which, three golden teardrops suddenly appeared in the dark void. They gradually expanded, transforming into a furious scythe of lightning that fiercely chopped down the three stone pillars. All the Bloodthirsty Demon Insects on the three stone pillars had their souls pierced by the lightning, turning into a pile of corpses.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened again. This scene was really too shocking, especially the two Ma Group's shadows.
Especially the two phantoms of the Pi Group. These Bloodthirsty Demon Insects had been cultivated by them for thousands of years, and now they were killed just like that?
After the lightning disappeared, a group of figures slowly walked out from the forest.
"Senior Cai Qing, long time no see, I trust you have been well." Qin Shi looked around, then his gaze landed on Cai Qing who was in a sorry state.
Seeing Qin Shi, Cai Qing was clearly startled. He pondered for a long time, and in his heart, a thin figure that even he was a little shocked gradually appeared, then slowly overlapped with the youth in front of him.
Cai Qing suddenly recognized Qin Shi, "You, you are Qin Shi?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect Senior to still remember me." Qin Shi cupped his hands and smiled.
However, soon after, Cai Qing's expression suddenly became anxious, especially after he saw Cai Die, "Little friend Qin Shi, quickly leave!
Take Cai Die and leave! "
"Leave?"
The two Ma Group's shadows' eyes turned cold, then they looked at each other. Suddenly, a black berserk dragon appeared in their palms, that powerful attack fiercely fell towards Qin Shi, "You dare to kill my bloodthirsty demon insects, today, you will be buried together with them."
Qin Shi glanced at the two wild dragons that were closing in on him. However, he completely ignored them. Instead, his gaze shifted and landed on Cai You. He spoke faintly, "You are an elder of the Seven Coloured Auspicious Cloud Snake tribe, right?"
"Yes, that's me." Cai You nodded a little blankly.
