C759 Tell Me the Secret on the Spot
After saying that, the Happy Valley Lord made an inviting gesture. Everyone hurriedly sat down in an orderly manner.
The Happy Valley Lord's crystal clear eyes rippled on everyone's body, and it was filled with a smile that could break one's soul. It was only when everyone was drunk that she gently said, "As everyone knows, the Divine Dragon Token is a treasure left behind by the ancestor of the valley. Anyone who holds the order has supreme power, just like the ancestor of the valley. I can appoint and dismiss all of the duties in the valley, including my position as the Valley Lord. "
Hearing these words, the gazes of everyone who looked at the Divine Dragon Token couldn't help but become a little more fervent. There were even some who were itching to make a move and wanted to snatch the Divine Dragon Token from their hands immediately. However, they secretly looked at the crowd in the hall and didn't dare to act rashly.
The Happy Valley Master seemed to not know what everyone was thinking and still smiled like a flower. He just looked at Du Qi without any care and then said with a crisp laugh, "Maybe someone wants to ask. Since you have the Divine Dragon Token, you can have supreme power in the valley. In the past, many Valley Lord knew that there were many people who wanted to steal the Valley Lord, but why did they not take it back and let the treasure passed down by the ancestor keep hidden in the Divine Dragon Pagoda?"
Seeing that no one answered her question, the Happy Valley Master's eyes gently swept across everyone. He revealed a sweet smile and said with a light laugh, "Because the Divine Dragon Token itself contains a huge poison, only by cultivating the unique heart sutra passed down from the bloodline of this valley's Valley Lord to the point of perfection can one casually take it away. Other than that, no one else can touch it. Anyone who touches it is beyond saving. The chances of survival are very slim. This is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Valley Lord about the Divine Dragon Token! If there is anyone who doesn't believe it, you can come forward and take the Divine Dragon Token to verify whether what I said is true or not!"
Hearing the words of the Happy Valley Master, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be filled with fanaticism. However, no one came forward to take the Divine Dragon Token that was lying on the ground, even those who were restless just now. At this moment, they quietly shrank their bodies back, as if they were afraid that their thoughts would be seen through. They forcefully pretended that they were not interested in the Divine Dragon Token. They followed the crowd and looked around to see if anyone really dared to take the Divine Dragon Token.
Without waiting for the crowd to have more time to think, the Happy Valley Lord immediately said, "Actually, you don't need to personally verify to know that what I said is true. Because Princess Lele, who has always been ambitious, is the best proof. She wants to take the Divine Dragon Token, but she only lost an arm and is still alive. It is the fortune of the heavens!"
No matter what thoughts they had, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard this. After all, they did not rashly take action to snatch the Divine Dragon Token just now. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a small matter if they succeeded. It wouldn't be worth it if they lost their lives because of this! Hence, everyone held their breaths. The Happy Valley Master said, "Due to the incompetence of the fourteenth generation Valley Lord's Ancestral Master, the thirteenth generation Ancestral Master pitied the heavens and pitied the people. The Happy Valley Master continued, At that time, the fourteenth generation Valley Lord's Ancestral Master was unable to take the Divine Dragon Token, and the thirteenth generation Ancestral Master pitied the heavens and pitied the people. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to take the Divine Dragon Token and lose his life. He had no choice but to bring the Divine Dragon Token into the Divine Dragon Pagoda to avoid causing trouble."
After a slight pause, the Happy Valley Master continued, "At this time, there might be someone who wants to ask. Since the Divine Dragon Token contains a huge poison that no one dares to touch, why is Hero Hong able to take it at will without suffering any injuries?"
Looking at everyone, Elder Xu said solemnly, "Could it be that Hero Hong has actually learned a unique heart technique that only this valley's Valley Lord can cultivate?"
He looked at Du Qi seemingly intentionally, but also unintentionally. The Happy Valley Lord said decisively, "Elder Xu, don't speak nonsense. This is absolutely impossible!" The Happy Valley Lord pondered and continued, "As for why Hero Hong is not afraid of the strange poison and can take the Divine Dragon Token at will, I also do not know why it is so confusing. However, this was not important. What was important was that Hero Hong had already taken the Divine Dragon Token out of the Divine Dragon Pagoda. This will allow the Divine Dragon Token to see the light of day once more. From now on, Hero Hong will be the ruler of the Happy Valley! "
Although Du Qi had been worried about this for a long time, now that he saw the Happy Valley Master's sincerity, it didn't seem like he was faking it. Instead, he did not know what to do as he hurriedly said, "I am a passerby. It is not right for me to accidentally obtain the Divine Dragon Token. How dare I steal the authority of the Happy Valley again? Therefore, please stop joking with the Valley Lord and leave it behind for the four of us to leave safely! "
The Happy Valley Master said sincerely," Hero Hong, this is the rule of our ancestors. No one in the Happy Valley knows about it. It is not a joke. Otherwise, there would not be so many people secretly going to the Divine Dragon Pagoda to steal the Divine Dragon Token. This time, my son won't invite Hero Hong and the others into the valley, and my daughter won't be able to bring Hero Hong into the pagoda. Hero Hong had no fate with the Divine Dragon Token! Since Hero Hong had safely obtained the Divine Dragon Token, he would have some fate with the Divine Dragon Token. He should bear the responsibility he deserves."
Du Qi knew that he could not shirk from it. Instead of being pretentious, he might as well agree readily. Hence, he looked around. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that all the elders had different expressions on their faces. Some were happy, some were worried, some seemed unwilling, and some were even secretly resentful. Young Master Huanxi was also pleasantly surprised, but Princess Lele seemed extremely unnatural. She was a little ashamed and resentful, and also a little worried. It seemed like the Happy Valley was more complicated than he had imagined. Just as he was thinking about it, the Happy Valley Master continued, "The ceremony for Hero Hong's succession will be held on a auspicious day. Now... Let's welcome Hero Hong's lecture!"
Du Qi once again faced the gazes of the crowd and said with a faint smile, "I am indebted to all of you for not abandoning me and adhering to the last ancestor's will. I have no choice but to accept the Valley Lord's invitation. However, the servants and hearts are all in the Pugilistic World and cannot stay in the valley. Therefore, no matter what I do, it will not affect everyone's lives. How do you live and how do you live? But there is one thing... I will not allow everyone to be suspicious of each other, fight with each other, or even kill each other. Instead, I will help each other, support each other, and understand each other. We will care for each other and work hard for the development of Happy Valley! "
Elder Xu was the first to applaud. "Hero Hong has a wise opinion. We will follow Hero Hong's instructions and do things according to him. If anyone dares to violate his orders, it will be against me. I will not let him go easily!"
When the elders saw Elder Xu's impassioned speech, they could not help but fight to express their stance and swear an oath. Du Qi greeted them warmly one by one. Finally, he stared at the Happy Valley Master. He said sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness. I am extremely grateful, but I know nothing about the people and things in the valley. I hope Valley Lord, elders and brothers can give me some guidance!"
After stopping the elders, the Happy Valley Master said sweetly, "I, Lee Ziyun, do not deserve Hero Hong's guidance. In the future, I hope that Hero Hong will take care of us!"
Du Qi quickly returned the salute and said, "The Valley Lord's words are too heavy! Since I am having such a conversation with everyone here, I will naturally share it with everyone. If there is anything useful to me, please instruct me and I will do my best!"
Lee Ziyun smiled without saying a word and said, "Since that is the case, I will be presumptuous once again. I request Hero Hong to return the Divine Dragon Token!"
