Urban Undying Lord

Chapter 1828: Chapter 1847: Emperor Candidate!

All expectations and hopes are directed towards one individual.

In everyone’s hearts, the only person truly capable of taking on the role of the Emperor is naturally Ye Xuan; no one else has the qualifications.

However, Ye Xuan refused this suggestion, which shocked everyone and caused a stir throughout the Emperor Palace.

Ye Xuan’s decision, of course, would not be changed. Everyone knew Ye Xuan’s temperament, so no one tried to persuade him otherwise.

But the selection of the Emperor became a significant issue. After all, a snake cannot move without a head, and the unification of several Supreme Daoists surely requires a leader, which is a matter of great importance. fгeewebnovёl.com

"I propose that Ye Xuanmo becomes the Emperor."

The elders of the original Extreme Demon Temple advised Ye Xuan since Ye Xuanmo was their Heavenly Lord. If Ye Xuanmo became Emperor, their status would naturally rise as well.

Ye Xuanmo did not speak. At such a critical moment, he naturally had to remain silent. The notion of modesty was out of the question because he indeed aspired to the position of Emperor.

It should be understood that the unification of the several Supreme Daoists, dubbed the greatest Daoist sect of all time, would elevate him to the foremost position in the Chaotic Universe, making other supreme beings bow before him.

As for his master, Ye Xuan, who wandered outside for countless ages, it was unknown when he would appear again and he would not participate in the matters of the Heavenly Burial Palace.

Moreover, with the great backing of Ye Xuan, so-called taboo figures would retreat. If he became Emperor, it would be an immense fortune.

"Disciple believes Fengtian is the Achiever of this age, and it is most suitable for Fengtian to take over the position of Emperor," Wan Hongling stepped forward and respectfully suggested to Ye Xuan.

"Indeed, whether in terms of cultivation or temperament, we all feel that the Lord of Fengtian is the most suitable to assume the position of Emperor. Moreover, the Lord of Fengtian is also your disciple; no one is more qualified." Many elders and disciples from the Life God Temple requested in earnest.

"I disagree. Although both are your disciples, it is proper for the Extreme Emotion Heavenly Lord to take on the role," Jun Wushuang said, holding a different opinion.

Jun Wushuang’s words immediately silenced everyone. In terms of identity, Ye Qingmei and Ye Xuan have a spousal relationship. Though they are not husband and wife in truth, they carry the name.

Upon hearing this, many wanted to refute, but due to Ye Qingmei’s identity, they dared not speak lightly.

"I, like my husband, have no desire to assume the position of Emperor. Let us find another talented individual." Ye Qingmei shook her head and refused.

"Master, though I, your disciple, am untalented and lacking in skill, I believe I have the ability to assume the position of Emperor."

At this moment, to show humility would be foolish. Ye Xuanmo knelt down, exuding confidence.

"Master, I have no heart for the position of Emperor. However, Senior Brother Xuanmo has a penchant for slaughter. If I, your disciple, assume the position of Emperor, I am certain I can bring fortune to the Chaos Five Domains."

Ye Fengtian also offered a solemn bow. It was evident that both were determined to obtain the title.

As for others, they naturally did not have the qualifications to vie for the position of Emperor, for cultivation is a very crucial factor. Although Li Taichu has the qualification and is the new Undying Heavenly Lord, prior events make it impossible for him to become Emperor.

For a moment.

The entire Emperor Palace was in chaos, split into two factions: one supporting Ye Xuanmo and the other supporting Ye Fengtian. Both sides argued heatedly, like a noisy market.

"Silence!"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, instantly silencing the tumultuous Emperor Palace; not a single person dared to argue further.

"Beichen, Fatty Huang, what are your opinions? I am keen to hear them," Ye Xuan said, looking at the two.

As Ye Xuan spoke, everyone’s gaze shifted, fervently looking at Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen.

Everyone knew these two were Ye Xuan’s trusted confidants. Although their cultivation was only at half-step supreme power, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, these two were more trustworthy than his disciples.

When Ye Xuan asked for their opinions, Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen were taken aback, as they had no desire to get involved. After all, choosing one would offend the other side.

However, since Ye Xuan asked, they naturally had to respond, given their relationship with Ye Xuan was both lordly and fraternal, it was natural to share his concerns. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Ahem."

Fatty Huang cleared his throat, thought briefly, and said, "If I were asked to choose, I think Xuanmo is more suitable. Although he walks the Demon Path, he balances strength with flexibility, able to advance and retreat, with finesse in his methods. He should be the most suitable candidate."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your praise; Xuanmo dares not accept such acclaim."

Ye Xuanmo was overjoyed, hurriedly bowing to Fatty Huang, feeling extremely grateful.

"Beichen, what about you?" Ye Xuan turned to Gu Beichen, seeking his opinion.

Gu Beichen pondered briefly and finally spoke, "From my personal perspective, Fengtian’s temperament is pure, with compassion for all beings, disliking violence. The position of Emperor should belong to him."

"However..."

Gu Beichen paused momentarily, then bowed to Ye Xuan, "However, Fengtian’s methods appear slightly weak. The bearer of the title of Emperor should be decisive, making Xuanmo the most suitable candidate."

"Thank you, Uncle Beichen, for your guidance!"

Ye Xuanmo was elated. Moments ago, his heart sank to the bottom, but it soared anew as Gu Beichen also chose to support him.

On the other side, Ye Fengtian sighed in resignation, not wishing to contend for the position of Emperor. It was only under Wan Hongling’s encouragement that he joined the struggle. But with Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen endorsing Ye Xuanmo, he naturally would not persist.

"Master, I shall not fall short of expectations, and will honor your teachings." Ye Xuanmo quickly bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, pledging his commitment.

At this moment, the situation seemed settled, with no further comments, as Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen had already recommended Ye Xuanmo, thus making it almost a foregone conclusion.

Only Ye Xuan did not yet agree; he looked deeply at the kneeling Ye Xuanmo, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest of the emperor’s throne, creating a measured sound that left everyone anxiously awaiting the final outcome.

"Qingmei, what do you think?"

Finally, Ye Xuan spoke, but the selection of the Emperor was still undecided. Instead, he looked to Ye Qingmei for her opinion.

This...?

Ye Qingmei’s eyes flickered, sensing a special meaning in Ye Xuan’s words, prompting her to think deeply.

Given Ye Xuanmo’s widespread support, Ye Xuan had no reason to ask her opinion, yet he did, indicating his favored candidate might not be Ye Xuanmo.

But if not Ye Xuanmo, then who could it be?

Ye Qingmei did not answer but began to ponder, causing Ye Xuanmo to change his expression, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"Could it be... could it be them?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingmei’s eyes widened in surprise, her peripheral vision falling on Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen.
