As powerful as the Tianling Alliance, decisions on many matters often rely on voting.
According to the regulations of the Tianling Alliance, when the top powerhouses in the alliance such as Hua Ting and the Yinge elders disagree on the decision-making of some matters, the final result can be determined by voting.
But for the sake of fairness, such a vote can only be successfully implemented through the meeting when one of the parties reaches two-thirds of the votes.
There are not many spirit-killing experts in the Tianling Alliance in Wangzun Hall at the moment. There are only nine of them, but it just meets the number to hold a voting meeting. As long as no one among them objects to vote on this proposal, then
Voting can begin.
Changsun Gong looked around the crowd and asked: "Is there anyone who objects to voting?"
No one spoke.
Changsun Gongdao: "Then let's start voting. I am naturally opposed to such a proposal. The status of Governor Gui in the alliance is self-evident. It is hateful to participate in black market smuggling, but if a Governor or a county king is dismissed because of this,
His position is a loss for both the parties involved and the Tianling Alliance."
Xiao Chenghuan nodded and said: "Every governor and county king is carefully selected through layers of selection within the alliance. If his position is removed because of this, it will be almost impossible to find a replacement in a short time.
.I also oppose Ruo Huating’s proposal.”
Xie Ze said thoughtfully: "Once the Duke of Gui retires too many times, it will easily cause a certain amount of panic and public opinion. This kind of punishment should be considered again and again."
He also held objections.
Ruo Ganyu's voice was cold: "No matter what your position is, since you have joined the Tianling Alliance and lived in the Tianling Continent, you should abide by the order of the Tianling. Those who commit crimes should be punished."
Qiu Jinlai squinted his eyes: "I naturally support Ruo Huating. Business people can be despicable and shameless, but they cannot do evil."
Among the named governors, there are people who are his subordinates.
Mr. Wei chuckled: "If you should handle it as appropriate because of your status, then can I just do scandalous things and not worry about my fate?"
There is no doubt that the three Huatings are on the same front, and the vote count suddenly became three to three.
This is a development that was completely expected by everyone.
Everyone knows that the real decision-making power actually lies in the hands of the remaining three elders.
Including the following Guidu and Huating, everyone focused their attention on the three elders. Just as the Huating and Yinge elders did not deal with each other, not everyone among these Guidu commanders and princes was on the same page.
They have a good relationship, like real brothers.
Some of them hope that they can escape, while others hope that these people can be beaten completely.
"I support Ruo Huating. Since he has committed such a scandal, do you still want to escape? I am the first to refuse!"
The person who spoke this time was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face who looked calm and intimidating. His name was Gu Suyan, and he was known for his selfless character. At the same time, he, like Xiao Chenghuan, also
Taking office as Huating.
But unlike Xiao Chenghuan, when Gu Suyan took office, the current alliance leader was already in office.
It is now November of the fifth year of the Chongzun 5325. The leader of the alliance has been in office for more than five thousand years. These five thousand years have been enough for Huating to carry out an iteration.
If it weren't for Mr. Wei's high reputation within the alliance and the fact that no one could be found to replace him, the old man might have abdicated early to enjoy his comfortable retirement life.
Gu Suyan's statement did not surprise anyone. After all, he was the person chosen by the leader of the alliance. Even if he now retreats to the hermit pavilion, it is still a bit too whimsical to expect him to support Xiao Chenghuan and the others.
Tianling Huating's will cannot be changed simply by changing it.
Everyone turned their attention to the remaining two people.
One of the gray-haired old men chuckled twice: "Haha, I'm old. I've lived for thousands of years, and I've done a lot of big and bad things, but compared with these young people, I'm still a little behind.
."
He looked at Kang Bodan and the others: "When I was in office, the former leader of the alliance had chatted with me countless times. Do you know what sentence I remember most clearly?"
His name is Ling Zhuzhu, he is over seven thousand years old, and he is one of the oldest elders in Yin Pavilion. In addition, he was also a generation of Huating, but unlike Xiao Chenghuan and Gu Suyan, he has a higher rank. In terms of seniority, even the leader of the alliance has to call him uncle.
Of course, in addition to this, he actually has another identity, the ancestor of the Ling clan behind Ling Xiaoyun.
Ling Zhuzhu said slowly: "The former alliance leader once said this to me - 'The strong are born to protect rather than bully the weak. It is precisely because the Tianling Alliance has always understood this truth that it has survived to this day'. You guys
I think that ordinary people are just ants and are not worth mentioning. However, the entire world of mixed spirits is made up of 'ants' from various races who are not worth mentioning."
"We are living beings, so we should protect living beings. You have put the cart before the horse."
"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest. If you don't punish them severely, how can you stabilize the people's hearts?"
Ling Xuanzhu's long words made everyone subconsciously silent. If someone else said this, everyone might just think that he was pretending to be noble, but if this person was Ling Xuanzhu, no one would
Will raise questions.
Kang Bodan lowered his head in shame: "Disciple knows his mistake."
Xiao Chenghuan and Changsun Gong looked a little embarrassed. They didn't really care whether Ling Xuanzhu's words were ignored or not. They had lived for thousands of years and understood the power of the Tianling Alliance best. They knew that the Tianling Alliance would not do it because of such a thing.
Then there will be some turbulence that hurts the muscles and bones.
What Ling Zhuzhu said was undoubtedly an exaggeration, but they had no reason to refute it.
The two turned their attention to the last person. Now the final decision lies in the hands of this elder.
Even if the other party chooses to give up at this time, this proposal will not be passed, so that their juniors can continue to be in office.
The Yin Pavilion elders have no real power, so in order to further improve their family status and gain some power within the alliance, they will basically arrange for their juniors to become governors or county kings, and even the heads and deputy heads of the ten halls
They have never let go of their position.
If the vote at this meeting is successful, the abdication of a governor or a county king will be an unbearable and huge loss for any family.
All eyes were focused on the last elder at this moment.
This is a middle-aged man with black hair and wearing simple black and white clothes. His facial features are not very handsome, but he has a unique charm and extraordinary temperament.
Since the meeting, he has been leaning on his seat with his eyes closed, dozing lazily.
It wasn't until everyone's eyes gathered at this moment that he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment they opened their eyes, everyone seemed to see the stars in the sky.
Yes, this man has no pupils in his eyes. His eyes are a deep blue, with stars scattered and flowing slowly, as if they contain an entire universe.
His name is Ye Tianji, and he is a warlock.
Ye Tianji's status in the alliance is very special, because before Ye Tianji appeared, there was no such thing as a "warlock" in the Tianling Alliance.
He created his own method of deriving the world and the earth, and he knew a little bit about it, which can be counted for hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. A thousand years ago, he calculated and killed one hundred thousand demon soldiers by himself, making the new term "warlock" become
He solved the nightmare of the demon clan and became famous in the spirit world.
Tianjimen, which is now well-known in the entire Hunling world, was founded by him thousands of years ago and is under the banner of Xingyu Hall.
Ye Tianji looked at everyone with his starry eyes. Because he had no pupils, everyone didn't even know who he was looking at. Everyone had different moods and waited quietly for his words.
"Let's withdraw. Tianling is rich in materials and talented people. There will be no shortage of so many governors and princes."
Ye Tianji's distant and ethereal voice fell, as if it was coming from the distant stars, making Kang Bodan and others' hearts feel cold.
Xiao Chenghuan said with a dark face: "Governor Gui and the prince cannot be replaced by talents!"
He didn't understand. Ling Zhuzhu and Ye Tianji had always been neutral factions, neither towards the leader of the alliance nor towards them, but why did they choose to side with Sanhuating today?
Ye Tianji turned his head slightly, and no one was reflected in his starry eyes. He said calmly: "If you can't replace me, let's leave it empty for now. This is not a complete resignation after all. Why should Elder Xiao be impatient."
They are only temporarily deprived of their status. After the punishment time has passed, they can still return to their original positions, but compared to before, their voice and connections may be reduced a lot.
This is the punishment for these people.
Disguised deprivation.
Ruo Ganyu said: "It seems that the number of votes has reached two-thirds, right, Elder Xiao."
Xiao Chenghuan looked at him coldly and said nothing.
On the side, Wei Guiyi reached out to pick up the tea cup again, took another sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, and said: "If there is nothing else, the meeting will be dismissed."
After that, he stood up and walked towards the outside of Wangzun Hall. When passing by the governors and princes, he said leisurely: "Xiao Shu, I will leave these people to you."
Tang Xiaoshu stood up and said respectfully: "Yes."
As Mr. Wei stood up and left, Qiu Jinlai and Ruo Ganyu did not stay long. Now that the resolution has been passed, the details of the next punishment will naturally be decided by Huating themselves. The elders of Yin Pavilion did not
The right to participate in the entire process.
Xiao Chenghuan and Duke Changsun looked at Mr. Wei and others leaving with their faces, and their expressions became increasingly ugly. Among the people who were dismissed this time, several of them were either related to their families or were secretly working against them.
Once these people are removed, the Xiao Clan and Changsun Clan's voice in the Tianling Alliance will undoubtedly decrease a lot in the future, and even the channels for obtaining certain information will also be reduced.
When spiritual cultivators reach this level, they undoubtedly care about two things, one is the great road, and the other is power. Wealth, beauty, etc. are the things they care about least.
Soon, there were only six elders left in the hall. Xie Ze patted his sleeves lightly and left without any reaction to the outcome of this decision.
For him, no matter how these governors and county kings are dealt with, it has nothing to do with him, because when he becomes the leader of the alliance in the future, these people will need to be replaced.
The leader of the alliance has been on the throne for more than five thousand years. The lifespan of a spiritual person is only ten thousand years at most. It is almost time for him to abdicate. What he has to do now is to be ready to ascend the throne at any time.
Xiao Chenghuan ignored Xie Ze, but asked Ye Tianji and Ling Zhuzhu directly with a solemn brow: "Why?"
Ling Zhuzhu stood up slowly: "I have made the reasons very clear. If you still have any objections, you can go to the leader of the alliance and raise them yourself. Old man, I will go back to sleep first."
Not a single trace of spiritual power flowed out, and Ling Zhuzhu disappeared in one step.
Gu Suyan snorted lightly, glanced at Xiao Chenghuan briefly, and disappeared.
So far, only Ye Tianji is still in the hall with these two people.
Ye Tianji stood up, with a faint smile on his lips under his star-like eyes.
"I look at the stars, this is the best solution."
The two of them were shocked and suddenly had nothing to say.
……
……
The weather in November is particularly cool, and the autumn rain is continuous. Raindrops as fine as cow hair fall on people's bodies, which is refreshing and refreshing.
Wei and the other three were walking on the street of the Tianling Alliance headquarters. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and the sounds of nature seemed particularly clear at this time.
"Have you already calculated this result?"
The one who spoke was Ruo Ganyu, who was asking about Wei Guiyi.
Qiu Jinlai was also a little confused: "Changsun Gong has held several meetings, but you only participated in this meeting. It is indeed a bit strange."
Mr. Wei glanced at them sideways and smiled: "It's not me who counted."
The two people understood immediately. Ruo Ganyu asked Qiu Jinlai: "There is Kang Bodan and Kang Chenglie in the Kang family. What do you plan to do with them?"
The Kang family is a very powerful family in the entire Tianling Continent. They have two governors alone, and the current family is also a strong person in the Luck Realm.
But now, because of the things they did behind the scenes, their two governors have to temporarily step down from their posts. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Kang family, which was once at its peak.
Qiu Jinlai chuckled and said: "What else can be done? Of course, I will punish him as I want. Of course, if he is willing to hand over some money and food for confiscation, I will not be able to consider letting him go."
"Haha!"
Ruo Ganyu made a cold laugh with a pleasant voice.
Qiu Jinlai shrugged, with a smile on his fat face.
They walked and chatted until they came to the bookstore.
Thousands of years ago, this place was originally a collection of treasures. Later, after the leader came to the throne, he removed all the things from the collection of treasures and placed them in other places, and then transformed the place into an antique collection of books.
Pavilion.
That incident made the former alliance leader so angry that the latter chased him and beat him all the way, but in the end he still failed to change Zangzhen Pavilion back.
The reason why the leader did this is also very simple - he likes calligraphy and painting.
I like it, so I built the most exquisite, luxurious and stylish library in the world.
Normally, the leader would only write and draw in that study room. He never let anyone see the real appearance of the library. He simply cherished these things to the extreme.
Knocking lightly on the study door, the three Huatings heard the voice of the leader of the alliance coming out.
