Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 57 Challenge
Lei Xun bowed deeply, feeling extremely terrified.

The young man said nothing, and everyone else was silent as well.

After a moment of silence, the young man smiled and helped Lei Xun up with his empty hand: "Master Lei, don't be nervous. I was just asking casually."

Lei Xun stood up, looking slightly relaxed, but continued, "Your Excellency, Guardian Zhang, this man has always acted in a self-centered manner. Right now, he's only a Spirit-level Spirit Control Master, yet he regards the Wind and Thunder Mountains as his own. If he advances to the King level..."

"I understand, I understand!"

The young man smiled faintly, looking very warm, and cast his gaze out the window again: "We are about to reach Fenglei Mountain. We are new here, so we need someone familiar to maintain order at the foot of the mountain to avoid any trouble. I will trouble Master Lei."

“This… yes, yes, yes!”

Upon hearing this, Lei Xun hesitated at first, then nodded repeatedly.

The young man smiled slightly and said nothing more.

In this way, after a while, the team finally arrived at the foot of Fenglei Mountain. The woman and the young man got off the car hand in hand and led a few people up the mountain, leaving the Thunder Patrol and the Knight Guards waiting at the foot of the mountain.

The rugged mountain road had no effect on them. They walked steadily and talked to each other.

"Young Master, this Lei Xun is clearly trying to stir up trouble!"

One person spoke, his words were cold.

Dongfang Bai shook his head. "Although it may sound a bit provocative, it's not necessarily untrue. Li Qingshan is so dedicated to governance and development, so his ambitions must be quite high. It seems an ordinary title won't satisfy him."

An old man also nodded: "I heard that in order to recruit people and increase the population under his rule, he offered very generous treatment. Not only did he distribute land, but he also distributed spirit beasts. He even opened a spirit control school to select talents from the common people and train them to become spirit control masters.

In addition, he also did a lot of charity, opening a large number of relief granaries in major towns around the Fenglei Mountains. Every once in a while, he would distribute grain and even animal meat to people.

Therefore, in the eyes of the major forces in the Wind and Thunder Mountains, he is a tyrant, but in the eyes of the common people, he is a compassionate and helpful person, and his prestige among the people is unmatched. If we conflict with him, or even come to blows, he will definitely use this to make a big fuss. "

Hearing this, Feng Qingming also became a little worried: "This will be very detrimental to our reconstruction of the kingdom."

Dongfang Bai's expression was indifferent. "Since ancient times, weapons and reputations cannot be lent to others. Such a person must have ambitions to be king. Even if we don't clash with him, he will challenge us. The Fenglei Mountains cannot accommodate two kingdoms."

A middle-aged man turned around and said, "Then what the young master means is..."

Dongfang Bai did not respond directly, but raised his gaze to Gao Feng: "Let's see the attitude of this Wind and Thunder King first."

……

"Wow!!!"

"Boom!"

On the top of Fenglei Mountain, there are lightning and thunder, and the sound of eagles piercing the sky. Looking closely, you can see eagles flapping their wings and flying high, bathed in the wind and thunder.

As the group reached the top of the mountain, they saw a group of eagles flying down, blocking their way in a menacing manner.

Feng Qingming had anticipated this and immediately took out a scepter. She stepped forward and said to the group of eagles, "I am the princess of the Wind and Thunder Kingdom, a direct descendant of the Wind and Thunder Emperor. I want to meet the Sky Eagle King of the Wind and Thunder Mountains."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The eagles were silent for a while, staring at her coldly. After a moment, a giant eagle stepped out from among them and said, "Follow me!"

After saying that, he spread his wings and flew into the sky, heading towards a cave made of wind and thunder crystals at the top of the mountain.

Feng Qingming and Dongfang Bai looked at each other, then used their soul-fusion martial arts to fly towards the Eagle Cave.

It's not just the two of them, the rest of the people are the same. Each of them has the ability to fly in the air, and their strength is not lower than the fourth level.

When we arrived at the Eagle's Cave, we saw two giant eagles, with a kingly majesty, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"The King of the Wind and Thunder Mountains!"

Feng Qingming's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stepped forward, holding up the scepter with both hands: "According to the agreement of our ancestors, I will fulfill the contract."

"..."

"..."

The two Wind and Thunder Eagles looked at the scepter in her hand and were silent for a moment before speaking: "According to the agreement between our ancestors, you can choose one of my descendants as your contracted spirit beast."

The development was as expected. Feng Qingming didn't say much. He stood up and was about to follow the procedure.

But I don’t want to…

"But now I can give you a second choice!"

The even larger eagle-like king said, "If you can complete this challenge, then when you and your partner reach the fifth level, you can go directly to Fenglei Mountain to sign a contract with us. The Fenglei Divine Eagle will once again be loyal to the Fenglei Kingdom."

"This……"

Hearing this, not only Feng Qingming, but even Dongfang Bai and the others were a little surprised. But Feng Qingming quickly reacted and tentatively said to the two Wind and Thunder Eagles, "I wonder what the challenge is."

"It's easy!"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle was also straightforward: "Defeat one person and drive him out of the Wind and Thunder Mountains."

"one person?"

Feng Qingming's eyes narrowed, and Dongfang Bai and the others also frowned: "Who is it?"

"Sand Valley!"

"Li Qingshan!"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle looked down at Feng Qingming and said, "As long as you or your partner can defeat Li Qingshan and drive him out of the Wind and Thunder Mountains, or even kill him, then we, the Wind and Thunder Eagles, will return to our loyalty to the Wind and Thunder Kingdom."

"This……"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Feng Qingming and Dongfang Bai looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, they turned around and asked, "Did this person anger the Eagle King?"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle looked indifferent: "No!"

"Then why..."

“No reason!”

Feng Qingming wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by the Wind and Thunder Eagle: "The challenge is just that, a challenge. You can accept or reject it. If you choose the latter, then you can leave after choosing your contracted spirit beast."

"..."

"..."

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent. Feng Qingming turned his gaze and looked at Dongfang Bai beside him, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Dongfang Bai was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and said to Wind and Thunder Eagle, "Understood. We accept this challenge."

"very good!"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle was not surprised by this and simply flapped its wings: "Go down the mountain, and come see me again after you complete the challenge."

Dongfang Bai nodded without saying anything, helped Feng Qingming up, turned around and left the Eagle Cave.

"Father!"

After they left, the Wind and Thunder Eagle that had led the way arrived before the two kings and looked at his parents in confusion: "Why are you doing this? Li Qingshan is my friend. Why are you picking on him? How did he provoke you?"

Looking at their emotional Xiaojiu, the two kings looked calm: "He didn't provoke us."

"Why then?"

Xiao Jiu was even more excited when he heard this: "Why did you let those people deal with him?"

"Because one Wind and Thunder Mountain Range cannot accommodate two human kings!"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle said indifferently, "Li Qingshan has the ambition and ability of a king. We are spirit beasts and can tolerate his development and allow him to do great things in the Wind and Thunder Mountains.

But other humans cannot do this. If the Fenglei Kingdom cannot expel him or simply eradicate him at this time, they will inevitably face an extremely terrifying enemy in the future.

We, the Wind and Thunder Sky Eagles, have a contract with the Wind and Thunder Kingdom. They can unconditionally command us three times. If, at that point, they ask us to eliminate Li Qingshan, it will be our Wind and Thunder Eagle clan that will face this terrifying enemy."

The Wind and Thunder Eagle lowered his gaze and said, "So you understand? Either we let them eliminate Li Qingshan now, or let Li Qingshan eliminate them. Or we can wait until Li Qingshan becomes powerful in the future and let them force us to fight against him."

"..."

These words left Xiaojiu stunned.

"Li Qingshan, he is an extremely terrifying and powerful human being."

The Wind and Thunder Eagle said in a deep voice, "We have witnessed the changes in the Wind and Thunder Mountains over the years, as well as his development and growth. If the Wind and Thunder Kingdom cannot eradicate him now, he will surely destroy us in the future. We, the Wind and Thunder Eagle Clan, cannot be buried with them."

"So you let them challenge Li Qingshan?"

Xiao Jiu flapped his wings angrily: "What if they succeed? Or if they fail and expose this matter, won't we still become his enemies?"

"If they succeed, it will be destiny that the Wind and Thunder Kingdom will be revived!"

The Wind and Thunder Eagle remained unmoved. "If they fail, I will lead the Wind and Thunder Eagle clan to pledge allegiance to Li Qingshan. Humans are extremely self-interested creatures, and I, Li Qingshan, am an extremely rational person. I will never refuse the Wind and Thunder Eagle clan's allegiance just because of this matter."

"..."

Xiaojiu stood there, staring at his father in amazement, unable to understand the complicated relationship of interests.

The Wind and Thunder Eagle ignored him and said, "Go, tell him this news. The king of the Wind and Thunder Mountains will be born in this challenge!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xiaojiu to react, he flapped his wings and swept it out of the nest.
