Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 3 Variables
"Shentian, why are you so late this time? Is there something that delayed you?"

As soon as he sat down, the Holy Lord cast his gaze over, sizing him up with his red eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Although there were hundreds of demons sitting around him, Shentian did not feel panicked. He explained casually, "I just dealt with some minor matters in the territory."

"Did I come too late? All the territory has been taken away?"

"How could that be? The Holy Lord has been waiting for you to come, otherwise this banquet would have ended an hour ago." Xiao Feng grabbed a green worm and threw it into his mouth, then said.

Basha also said: "Shentian, even though you don't care about these things, you still have to keep them in mind occasionally."

"Okay, I understand. Since you have all been waiting for a long time, let's start now!" Shen Tian responded, looking at the Holy Lord in the first seat.

The other great demons have been paying attention to the situation here since the moment Shentian walked into the palace.

Therefore, when Shentian said the word "start", everyone looked over with some anticipation.

Feeling the gazes of the demons, the Holy Lord wiped the fleshy liquid from the corner of his mouth and stood up from his seat: "My fellow countrymen, I welcome you all!"

"Today is an important day for our redistribution of territory. I sincerely apologize for keeping you all waiting for so long!"

"I won't say any more nonsense. Let's start dividing the territory now!"

After saying this, the Holy Lord spread out his right hand, and a ball of dark green demonic light flew out from his hand.

Upon seeing this, the six Basha demons also released a similar demonic energy. The seven demonic energies slowly rose and finally stopped in mid-air.

The Holy Lord spread his hands and said, "Now, if you wish to join the territory of a certain monarch, you can invest your demonic energy into the demonic energy of the corresponding monarch."

After saying this, the Holy Lord sat back down.

The hundred or so great demons in the audience did not hesitate too much. They took out their own demonic energy and poured it into the demonic energy of the monarch of the seven demons.

After all, as early as a month before the Demon Festival began, the monarchs of each territory had privately summoned the great demons in their respective territories.

They know exactly what to choose.

No one would risk offending one monarch by choosing another unless the benefits offered by the other party were truly great.

However, this situation has only occurred two or three times in the eight thousand years since the Demon Festival began.

And in these two or three times, the big demons who made this choice basically did not end up well.

Therefore, any big demon who showed hesitation on the scene were basically new demons in the past thousand years. They were afraid of offending other monarchs and therefore dared not make a choice.

In response, the old demons all had a look of frustration on their faces, and no one showed any intention of helping.

After all, they all came this way, so why should these latecomers step on them to get to the top?

Finally, ten minutes later, with the last new demon choosing Basha, the number of great demons in the seven demon territories is as follows:
Holy Lords: Twenty-five.

Ximu: Twenty-five.

Dikui: eighteen.

China and the Soviet Union: twelve.

Bazaar: Nine.

Xiao Feng: Eight.

Bo Gang: Three.

The curse blue didn't come, so it doesn't count.

But the reason why Zhulan didn't come was because no big demon was willing to choose him every year.

all of these,
All because Zhulan’s territory is the moon.

There is no bird shit on the moon, and humans cannot live on the moon, for these spoiled demons who are used to being served by humans.

It was impossible to do without slaves. Furthermore, the seven demons had no interest in Zhulan's moon, so Zhulan simply gave up and didn't come to this demon event.

There is no curse blue at the bottom,

It can be clearly seen that Bo Gang lived up to expectations and took the last place.

But this year's number one became a little confusing, because a big demon who chose the Holy Lord's territory last time chose Ximu this time.

In every grand event in the past, the rankings between Ximu and Shengzhu have always been very close.

Therefore, when this great demon chose to switch jobs, the score between Ximu and the Holy Lord was directly tied.

boom!
"Zhu Shan, how dare you betray me!"

Seeing this score, the Holy Lord angrily slapped the long table in front of him, smashing it to pieces.

Those eyes, which were already cold and cunning, were now filled with murderous intent as they looked coldly at a figure in the corner of the long table.

All the great demons who came into contact with the Holy Lord's gaze lowered their heads in fear, except for the great demon called Zhu Shan who slowly stood up from his position.

Zhu Shan's stature is considered very tall among all demons, probably second only to Bo Gang.

His body was covered with gray stone armor like fish scales, and a thick smell of mountain soil enveloped him. He looked even more like an earth demon than Di Kui.

Facing the Holy Lord's gaze, Zhu Shan said calmly, "Holy Lord, today I will not only choose the territory of the Lord of Heaven, but I will also challenge you and pull you down from your position as Lord!"

Wow!
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

All the demons, including the seven great demons, were stunned by Zhu Shan’s words.

Challenge the eight monarchs!

These words,

How long has it been since I last heard of it?
The demons couldn't remember clearly, they only knew that it was a very distant period of time, when the world was still very chaotic and the demons were all on their own.

In order to fight for the position of the eight great monarchs, the demons launched a brutal war, and dozens of great demons fell in that war.

After that war, the positions of the eight monarchs were completely established, and no one dared to dream of it anymore.

Today, they actually saw someone challenging the throne of the monarch. How could they not be shocked!

The Holy Lord naturally also felt the changes in the expressions of the demons, and his face became extremely gloomy.

Zhu Shan's actions were undoubtedly a challenge to his prestige as a monarch, which would have a profound impact on future demonic gatherings.

Therefore, when the Holy Lord gazed at Zhu Shan again, the murderous intent in his eyes was so surging that it was difficult to conceal: "Zhu Shan, do you really want to challenge me?"

"That's right!" Zhu Shan snorted coldly, "I've long been fed up with what you've done. Why do I have to pay so many magic stones as tribute every year, while he doesn't have to use any?"

Zhu Shan pointed angrily.
He actually pointed at Shentian who was watching the show nearby.

Shentian was completely confused. How could this nameless fire burn him?

Shentian immediately looked at Ximu. After all, Zhu Shan turned against him now because he wanted to join Ximu's territory.

But Ximu turned around and looked at me as if to say, "Don't look at me, I know nothing."

The corners of Shentian's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak.

The Holy Lord spoke first, "That's enough. The tribute amount was set by me. If you want to challenge me, there's no need to find so many excuses!"

"Okay! It seems that you accept my challenge?" Zhu Shan withdrew his hand.

The Holy Lord laughed in anger: "Why not?"
