1652. Chapter one thousand six hundred fifty-two
After listening to Gong Yuanlong's story, Du Huaizhen did not answer immediately, but slowly looked around.
Wherever they looked, everyone turned away and remained silent.
Sometimes, silence means agreement, but everyone present could not guess Du Huaizhen's thoughts, so they did not dare to express their position and attitude easily.
Lin Chong looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He sat at the end of the conference hall, looking like he was not involved.
Gong Yuanlong's suggestion was actually very unfavorable to Lin Zhong, because he had no connections and no backing. If the new alliance leader was elected based on the voting results, he would be eliminated 100% of the time.
However, the more dangerous the situation became, the more calm Lin Zhong was able to remain.
Lin Zhong often used this sentence to remind himself whenever there was a moment of calm during an important event.
When encountering difficulties, being impatient and impulsive will not help. Only by staying calm can you seize the opportunity to make a comeback.
In the past, when he encountered danger or even found himself in desperate situations, Lin Zhong always relied on his steel-like and rock-steady mind to seize the fleeting chance of life and save himself from danger many times.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Zhong's determination is stronger than anyone else except Du Huaizhen.
Du Huaizhen's eyes flashed with golden light, observing the expressions on everyone's faces, and an imperceptible sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I think Mr. Gong's proposal is somewhat inappropriate." At this moment, Pang Jun, who had been watching with cold eyes, said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone turned their attention.
No one expected that the first person to raise objections was Pang Jun, a senior member of the Wu League with voting rights.
A flash of anger flashed in Gong Yuanlong's eyes, but he knew that Pang Jun's identity was unusual and he held a high position within the martial alliance, so he suppressed his anger and asked with a smile: "What advice does Deputy Leader Pang have?"
?”
"Don't take advice seriously."
Pang Jun's tone was low and thunderous, ringing in everyone's ears: "We warriors, our power is our own. It is not comparable to ordinary people, nor can it be judged by common sense. Mr. Gong's suggestion may be suitable for ordinary people, but it may not be suitable for ordinary people.
It applies to us.”
"I think exactly the opposite."
As soon as Pang Jun finished speaking, a thin old man with sparse white hair across from him said slowly: "Brother Gong's proposal is based on a mature and prudent view. In addition to voting, do you have a better way? Besides, even if there are other ways,
How can a new alliance leader who was elected without voting be able to convince the public?"
"That's what Brother Qi said."
Xu Weiyang felt that the heat was almost there, so he echoed: "As long as the new leader is elected through fair voting, the Yaori Sect will support it unconditionally."
Pang Jun frowned and his eyes moved back and forth between Gong Yuanlong, the old man named Qi and Xu Weiyang. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason.
Lu Guichen, Chen Hanzhou, Xiao Shitong, Yu Qiansui and others all remained silent and allowed the situation to develop according to Xu Weiyang's wishes without any intention of intervening.
"Let's vote by a show of hands."
Du Huaizhen put his hand on the conference table, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes were calm: "As long as you don't have any opinions, I don't care."
Gong Yuanlong was the first to raise his hand, followed by the old man surnamed Qi and Xu Weiyang.
Xu Jing glanced at Du Huaizhen, his heart was at war with heaven and man, and finally he slowly raised his right hand.
"Zhenwumen should also join in the fun."
Lu Guichen yawned lazily and raised his left hand.
Wang Mu turned to look at Xiao Shitong, who was sitting next to him. The latter nodded slightly, so he sighed softly and raised his hand in agreement.
At this point, except for the Guanghan Sect, Yin Yang Sect and Ruyi Sect who were not present, as well as the Baigui Sect which was expelled from the Martial Alliance, a total of five sects among the ten hidden sects agreed to elect a new leader of the Martial Alliance through voting.
The dust has settled.
More than half of the people are in favor, and whether the remaining people raise their hands or not, it will not affect the overall situation.
"boring."
Chen Hanzhou suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves, and turned into a blurry afterimage, disappearing in an instant.
He left as soon as he said so, without even giving Du Huaizhen face, but everyone seemed to have been used to it for a long time and did not show any surprise at all.
Chen Hanzhou is qualified to be willful because he is the most promising superpower after Du Huaizhen.
"The vote will be held in three days."
Du Huaizhen stood up, said a few words in an understatement, and then drifted away.
Unlike Chen Hanzhou who disappeared without warning, Du Huai really walked out. He took several meters with each step, as if he had shrunk into an inch without any trace of fireworks.
As Chen Hanzhou and Du Huaizhen left the table, a short meeting came to an end.
Lin Zhong silently left the seat that he had not yet sat in and turned around to walk out of the conference hall.
From beginning to end, he did not express an opinion.
Lin Zhong knew very well that there had been a tacit understanding among the ten hidden sects for a long time. Even if he objected, it would be useless. It would only increase the laughing stock and give people the impression that the mantis was using its arms as a chariot.
In front of these huge sects that have been passed down for hundreds of years, one person's power is really too weak.
"Brother Lin, please stay."
Wang Mu suddenly stopped Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong paused and looked at Wang Mu from the corner of his eye.
Wang Mu strode up to Lin Zhong, his tiger eyes flashed, and said meaningfully: "Brother Lin, I have something close to my heart, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"If you intend to get involved in the position of leader of the Martial Alliance, please give up as soon as possible."
Wang Mu's tone was gentle, but his words were like a blade, piercing Lin Zhong's heart: "I regard you as a respectable opponent, and I don't want to see you die young."
When Lin Zhong heard this, his quiet and deep eyes slowly narrowed: "What do you mean?"
"This is my advice to you."
Wang Mu crossed his arms across his chest and stood proudly, inadvertently showing his domineering attitude: "Brother Lin, I am the one who can become the leader of the Martial Alliance, and I will replace you and become the strongest warrior in the contemporary era!"
"Shameless talk!"
Before Lin Zhong could answer, Xu Jing, who was not far away, sneered, with a look of contempt on his face: "Young fellow from the Tianlong Sect, be careful what you say. You are only at the elementary level of Danjin, and you are not even at the Three Flowers Gathering Stage."
What qualifications do you have to claim to be the strongest in the world?"
"What, your Excellency, you want to help Brother Lin?" Wang Mu's cheek muscles twitched, his aura rose sharply, and he resisted the pressure from Xu Jing without looking back.
"No, on the contrary, I can only be the one to kill him."
Xu Jing's eyes fell on Lin Zhong's face, his eyes were cold and piercing, and he said solemnly: "In addition, if you want to become the leader of the Martial Alliance, your strength is far from enough. You should practice for another hundred years!"
Lin Zhong was sandwiched between Xu Jing and Wang Mu, his clothes still making a hunting sound.
"Interesting, really interesting, so interesting."
Lu Guichen, who was standing next to him, saw this scene. He didn't know which nerve was wrong. He suddenly burst out laughing unscrupulously, laughing so hard that he was out of breath: "You three...really look like three bone snatchers."
