I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Unless, she's fishing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Se kept quiet and pretended to be just another bystander.

At this rare zodiac-themed meeting, the Rooster left, but the others were reluctant to leave immediately.

At this moment, Wu Ma suddenly said mysteriously, "I learned some very exciting news a couple of days ago. It's related to Longhu Mountain, and it's also related to everyone here. Would you all like to hear it?"

"What news is so mysterious, Lao Ma, just tell us!"

The Ox and the Horse have a good relationship, he replied casually.

"This news is worth a thousand years of incense offerings. I will only tell you if each of you offers me a thousand years of incense offerings. Otherwise, I will not tell you this secret. Anyway, you should know it in a while."

I just don't know what will happen then.

Wu Ma has always been an honest man. It's a bit strange that an honest man would suddenly start cheating people.

The question on everyone's mind was whether the news Wu Ma mentioned was indeed that important.

For a moment, all the veteran zodiac signs were conflicted, unsure whether to spend the money.

Su Xian'er originally wanted to ask, but then she thought that most of the recent events related to Longhu Mountain were probably related to Lin Yi. She could just ask Lin Yi when the time came and find out, without wasting a thousand years of incense offerings.

Although she didn't earn these incense offerings herself, she still had to feel sorry for them when necessary.

Let's save money where we can!

Su Xian'er felt sorry for them, but there were always others who didn't.

Bai Lianxian decisively said, "I'll buy this information!"

With the first one taking the lead, others quickly followed suit, offering incense to Wu Ma for a thousand years.

After all, a thousand years of incense offerings may seem like a lot, but if it's something that directly affects oneself, then it's not that much.

Finally, in order not to appear out of place, Su Xian'er could only tearfully offer incense, her resentment almost overflowing, before she heard Wu Ma say, "Everyone, do you still remember what these twelve golden figures were originally used for?"

Chapter 471 The Unity of the Mob

The origins of the twelve golden figures were clear to all the zodiac animals present, except for Xiao Se, who was a little confused.

The golden statues first appeared in the hands of Qin Shi Huang, and served two purposes: one was to stabilize the fate of the world and protect the people.

However, many people born under the sign of the Metal sign are unaware of another function of the Metal sign: to unite the fortunes of the mortal world and contend with the heavens.

The golden statue was forged from the edge of a weapon, and was itself a weapon.

When Wu Ma began to talk about the origin of the Golden Man, it immediately piqued the interest of all the zodiac deities.

Don't let Wu Ma's honest appearance fool you; he's the kind of guy who always manages to make headlines.

But just when everyone thought he was about to reveal some secrets related to the Zodiac Golden Man, he changed the subject and said, "Not long ago, I heard some very exciting news from an elder of Longhu Mountain: an immortal has descended to the mortal world to harvest human fortune."

But that immortal was unlucky; he was cremated on the spot by a hidden master in the mortal realm.

That's right, I'm talking about Lin Yi.

Su Xian'er understood immediately, and she felt even more sorry for the incense she had spent.

She already knew about this, so why would she need to buy it from Wu Ma?

Bai Lianxian, you spendthrift woman!

Bai Lianxian and Su Xian'er both knew what was going on, but they still joined in taking a deep breath of cold air.

Both of them are drama queens.

Such a momentous event as an immortal descending to earth is too terrifying for the zodiac signs.

But what terrified them even more was not just that.

They all know that the world is a deep and complex place, full of hidden talents, so the twelve zodiac animals are relatively low-key.

But over time, they haven't really encountered anyone stronger than themselves, so they inevitably start to wonder if they are invincible in the world.

It's not surprising to have this idea.

What's remarkable is that they've managed to remain composed all these years, avoiding exposure to the world; everyone is very cautious.

However, maintaining a sense of awe for the strong and discovering that such strong people truly exist in this world are two different things.

Just like some people are afraid of ghosts, while others are not. Even those who are afraid of ghosts will think to themselves that maybe there are no ghosts in the world before they have ever seen one.

But what if one day ghosts are proven to be real? Would you be scared then?

Not only have immortals appeared in the human world, but a hidden master who can easily kill immortals has also appeared. What a terrifying story this is!

All the zodiac animals felt a little uneasy, and when they thought about how the rat, dragon, snake, and dog had passed away one after another in recent days and replaced by new ones, a shadow fell over their hearts.

"Brothers and sisters, we can no longer fight each other like we do now. The only outcome of being scattered and disorganized is that we will be defeated one by one, just like Fellow Daoist Dragon and Fellow Daoist Snake before."

You all know how powerful they are, right? If even they met with such misfortune, what chance do you have?

Only by uniting can we unleash our full potential!

Tiger is right. If the twelve zodiac animals are separated, each one is just a high-level powerhouse.

However, if they were to come together as a whole, they would definitely not be equal to twelve powerful individuals.

With the assistance of the formation provided by Lin Yi, the Twelve Zodiac Animals would surely be able to unleash a terrifying power a hundred or even a thousand times greater.

Back then, the Twelve Great Witches, relying on a knock-off version of the Twelve Zodiac Formation, and without even understanding the formation, managed to fight against a first-grade expert with their second-grade cultivation level through a series of haphazard operations.

How powerful would it be if it were cast by genuine twelve zodiac animals?

Even without understanding formations, the combined power of the twelve zodiac animals would be even greater.

Their supernatural powers and magic spells complemented each other in many ways.

However, not many people agreed to Yin Hu's proposal.

The zodiac animals are not fools. There are indeed benefits to them coming together, but the dangers are greater.

Among the zodiac animals, there are differences in strength. The Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog are all relatively strong in direct attack capabilities, while the Rat, Ox, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig are more prominent in support and defense capabilities.

If they were to encounter a tiger, they would be utterly helpless.

In the past, when the twelve zodiac animals did not gather together, the dragon and tiger were vying for the top position, while the other zodiac animals could choose not to participate or keep up.

Once they come together, the struggle will become more direct, and at that time, even the weaker zodiac signs will find it difficult to escape the vortex of conflict.

Therefore, when the Tiger proposed that everyone unite to fight the crisis together, the other zodiac animals were not very enthusiastic.

At this moment, Fox Six stepped forward to lead the way for all the zodiac animals.

"Fellow Daoist Tiger, do you hope that everyone can unite for our own good, or do you want to be our leader?"

If it's the former, I think it's good for everyone to unite; but if Fellow Daoist Tiger only wants to show off his authority, then there's no need for that."

When Su Xian'er confronted him like that, Yin Hu immediately retorted, "Of course I'm doing this for everyone's good."

"Although you all know I've always wanted to be the eldest of the twelve zodiac animals, what's the point of being the eldest if we twelve zodiac animals no longer exist?"

These words were spoken sincerely, which made the other zodiac signs believe them to some extent.

Compared to unknown threats, at this time, although the twelve zodiac signs are not a monolithic entity, they are still more trustworthy to each other.

At worst, we can just let Yin Hu become the leader; it won't have a big impact on them.

Seeing that everyone was showing signs of agreeing, Bai Lianxian said, "I dare not go with you. I just killed the old snake. What if one of you is on good terms with her and wants to avenge her? Wouldn't I be in danger?"

Hearing this, Yin Hu was furious!

He was just a tiny bit away from becoming the boss.

Once everyone is gathered together, will he still have trouble becoming the leader?

The problem got stuck with Bai Lianxian, which infuriated him.

But now they are not together, and although they are angry, there is nothing they can do about Bai Lianxian.

He could only gently advise, "You can rest assured about that. The positions of the zodiac gods are reserved for the most capable. You became the zodiac snake through your own efforts, and we will not interfere."

"That sounds nice, but who believes it? Anyway, I won't go to your territory on my own initiative. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this concern, right? Aren't you afraid?"

"If anyone feels we're not obedient enough, we can kill them and replace them with more obedient ones. As long as the zodiac deities hold their positions, we won't have trouble finding successors. And the successors will all be highly skilled."

Bai Lianxian's words revealed the deepest fears of the other zodiac signs.

Suddenly, those zodiac signs who were initially somewhat interested no longer wanted to agree.

Bai Lianxian is right!

They themselves know that the strength lies not in themselves, but in the positions of the zodiac deities.

It can be said that obtaining the Zodiac God position is like adding wings to a tiger, but if someone is ruthless enough to find someone with low cultivation, they can still unleash the combat power of a seven or eight thousand-year-old demon king by relying on the power of the Zodiac God position.

Seeing Bai Lianxian's incredible ability to cause destruction, Yin Hu finally gave in.

He dared not glare at Lian Xian with his big eyes any longer, so he had no choice but to admit defeat and said, "Then what do you want to do? How can we unite everyone and ensure everyone's safety?"

"It's not like I want everyone to be together, so why should I come up with a solution? What if some of you object to my proposed plan? It's better not to say anything at all, since I'm not afraid anyway."

Bai Lianxian decisively withdrew at this moment, appearing completely unconcerned. Encountering such a jerk during a meeting was truly infuriating.

At this time, the clever people in the Chinese zodiac also started to use their brains.

Indeed, it is not safe for everyone to stay together, but if they are scattered, they are easily defeated one by one if they encounter a strong enemy.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough if everyone just stayed united, but not completely united?

Upon thinking about this, Wei Yang suddenly had an idea.

"Since we can't completely trust each other, yet we need each other, how about this: we go to a place together, but we can't meet each other casually. If anyone breaks the agreement, we can all unite to punish them."

If we encounter a strong enemy, we can provide reinforcements as quickly as possible.

The suggestion from the Sheep resonated with many. The repeated deaths of the zodiac signs had made them somewhat fearful, and uniting together was an inevitable trend. However, everyone had their own agenda, so this unity could not be fully realized.

Wei Yang's plan can take into account everyone's needs and concerns.

In the same city, if a powerful enemy attacks, everyone can provide support at the fastest speed.

Avoiding meeting each other alone can also prevent being plotted against by someone who shares the same zodiac sign.

The Ox immediately agreed, saying, "The Sheep sister is right, I, the Ox, agree!"
