Daoying

Chapter 597 Voting
In front of the Temple of Poseidon, there was a dense crowd of monks gathered.

But there was dead silence, so quiet that one could hear the sound of the swirling water in the distance.

The light of the Nine Heavens Pearl fell on everyone, and they all seemed to be frozen.

"Lanjun, Hailan, do you know what you are doing?"

Xing stood on the steps of the Poseidon Temple, his hands in his pockets, staring at the people below, and spoke calmly.

"Of course I know, so stop talking nonsense. You can't make the decision, so let's talk about it."

Lan Jun shouted with great momentum.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you address Pan Zu by his name? Do you think you have the qualifications to speak to Pan Zu?"

Cang shouted angrily.

"Humph, I didn't dare to do that before, but I dare to do it now. You, the Yulong clan, are going too far. Even if I'm a dog, I have to resist!"

Lan Jun's face was filled with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Today's matter cannot end well, you, the Yulong clan, must give us an explanation!"

"I understand your feelings. After all, refining the divine blood requires outstanding disciples from our three clans. Everyone would feel distressed."

Xing said slowly: "But refining divine blood and returning to the glory of the Sea God is our supreme honor. Some sacrifices are inevitable. Sacrificing some outstanding children now can avoid more sacrifices in the future. Don't you understand this simple truth?"

"Bah! We sacrificed the best children in our clan, but the bloodline of your Dragon Controlling Clan became stronger and stronger. If we all died, the glory would belong to you, and we would become the price, forever sinking into the cold deep sea, while you became invincible and ruled the world!"

Lan Jun cursed loudly.

"Since you are so ignorant, I won't say any more to you. But what is disgusting is that you actually colluded with the human race in our sea clan's internal affairs? This is simply outrageous to both humans and gods. You have lost even the most basic bottom line. Do you still have any dignity as a member of the sea clan?"

Xing's tone turned cold.

"I'm going to lose my life, what bottom line and dignity can I talk about? I'll sacrifice the blood of your Dragon Taming Clan, and I'll refine the Sea God's true blood. I'll gain the power of the Sea God, and you're going to ask for that bottom line and dignity in exchange?"

Lan Jun retorted angrily.

"Chief, this person is completely hopeless. Just wipe them all out. This will wipe out all of these humans as well!"

Cang had a murderous look on his face and bowed to Xing.

"Cang, you are such a fool. You usually just take advantage of your age in the Coral Throne, but your strength is average and your IQ is frighteningly low."

Hai Lan smiled and said, "We have already brought the human race to the Sea God Temple. If Xing was sure he could wipe us out, would he still be talking nonsense with us? You asked him to take action, which is like roasting him on the fire. Could it be that you have been coveting the position of clan leader for a long time and deliberately made trouble for him?"

"Nonsense! Low-level attempt to sow discord!"

Cang shouted angrily, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, just ask Xing. If you are sure, take action now. A fight to the death will begin sooner or later anyway."

Hai Lan said calmly.

"Don't talk to this idiot. I'll send him off first."

Lan Jun said with disdain on his face.

Cang was furious and was about to explode, but Xing stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Xing looked towards the human race, then raised his eyes from Duan Tianya and the others, stared into the void, and said, "I didn't expect the owner of the Holy Island and the Five World Guardians to be here too. Are they going to fight a life-and-death battle with my sea race?"

The sea clan cultivators around were all shocked and horrified.

Although they saw some humans, they did not know their identities and origins. When they heard the name of the Lord of the Holy Island, they all gasped, showing expressions of shock and even suspicion.

In addition to the Lord of the Holy Island, the Five Warriors who Guard the World are also the top combat forces of the Holy Island. They are known as the giants that tower over the Holy Island, and it is rare to see one of them in a thousand years.

"That's not the intention."

An elegant voice came from the void: "We are only invited here. In fact, we are friends of your sea tribe. If we were not friends, why would we come all the way here just for an invitation?"

"It's Mr. Yiyun, your friend, who is a traitor to our Sea Clan. If you are really a friend of the Sea Clan, then lend us a hand and put down the rebellion together."

Xing said, looking at the nothingness.

A moonlit figure in a white robe slowly appeared in the air, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, okay, but have you figured out who the traitor is?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

Xing hummed.

"I heard that the highest authority in your sea tribe is the Coral Throne, which is managed by 21 councilors. You can vote to see who the traitor is, so that we can help them."

"No need for that. I am the First Throne. Aren't my words important enough?"

Xing stood with his hands behind his back, a sinister look on his face.

"Since when have you been the only one to decide matters concerning the Coral Throne?"

Lan Jun looked around and shouted loudly: "Everyone, do you listen to the leader of the Dragon Clan or the Coral Throne?"

All the sea creatures were stunned.

The natural instinct is to listen to the Coral Throne.

But at the moment, it was obvious that the Gu Ming and Ling Bo tribes were traitors and were colluding with humans, but the Coral Throne had always been the core of power, so they were suddenly confused.

"The Coral Throne rules the sea race. This is a system that has been passed down from the times of the Sea God. Do you want to overthrow it?"

Hai Lan also shouted in a deep voice, using a bit of her mental strength, shocking everyone.

Xing frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a little tricky.

There are twenty-one people on the Coral Throne, five from each of the three royal blood tribes, and one from each of the other six tribes. Their Dragon Taming tribe plus the other six tribes make up a total of eleven people, which accounts for the vast majority.

But now the Fifteenth Throne Rin is seriously injured and cannot vote, so it becomes ten to ten.

This is the case when the six outer tribes have not betrayed us. If any tribe has any ulterior motives, our side will become a minority.

Originally, my side was completely in the right, but after doing this, I became the party in the wrong.

You have to know that the current situation, although it ultimately depends on the victory or defeat of high-end combat power, the combat power of the six outer tribes and other powerful races are also important chips on the scales.

"In the past, we should have listened to the Coral Throne, but since Panzu and Chaozu returned, we should have listened to the two ancestors. Are you going to betray our ancestors?!"

Cai stood up and shouted sternly.

Many people nodded in agreement.

Hai Lan sneered and said loudly again: "These two are the ancestors of your Dragon Taming Clan, not our ancestors."

He pointed at the high-ranking members of the Sea Clan, including the councilors of the six outer clans, and pointed at their faces one by one, sneering, "Are those two your ancestors? Are they yours? Are they yours?..."

Those who were pointed at by him couldn't help but retreat a little, and they also wondered in their hearts, yes, he is not their ancestor, why should they obey him.

"The Coral Throne is the highest power center of the Sea Clan. This is the rule set by the Sea God. No one can change it. Do you think the ancestors of your Dragon Clan want to change the rules of the Sea God?!"

Seeing that everyone's mentality was wavering, Lan Jun struck while the iron was hot and pointed at Xing and others and cursed them.

"The Sea God is our common ancestor. Your two ancestors are not. Now your two ancestors want to change the Sea God's rules. It is clear who is the orthodox of the sea clan and who is the traitor!"

Hai Lan shouted loudly.

The position of the Sea God in the eyes of the sea people is supreme. After hearing what the two said, their blood suddenly boiled and they began to glare at the Dragon Controlling Clan.

"What a joke! Even if it's the Coral Throne voting, we still have the majority."

Xing saw that the situation was not right, and immediately said: "There are five of us from the Yulong clan, plus six members from other clans, a total of eleven people, and you are only ten people." "Really? Why don't we try to vote?"

Lan Jun sneered.

He knew that Lin had been seriously injured and there was no way he could come out, and the best outcome for the opponent would be a draw.

Suddenly, a cold voice without any emotion came: "Of course you can vote. Every member of the sea tribe must abide by the laws left by the sea god and respect the Coral Throne as the highest core."

Everyone's expression changed, knowing who the voice belonged to.

Suddenly, there was a scream of "Ah". A sea cultivator sensed the unusual danger and was about to escape, but was instantly pierced by an irresistible force and his heart exploded.

Then his body and soul collapsed and exploded into a mass of flesh and blood.

A sea creature with a grim face and a huge body appeared above everyone, absorbed the flesh and blood and swallowed it into its stomach.

"Chao Zu!"

The Dragon Tamers were all overjoyed and hurriedly bowed respectfully towards the sky.

Gu Ming and the Lingbo tribe's faces changed drastically.

The person who was just killed was a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm from the Gu Ming Clan, and he was also one of the councilors of the Coral Throne.

The whole process of killing and taking blood was so fast that no one could react at all. Even if someone did react, it was too late to rescue.

"Chao! You actually killed a member of the throne, what crime should you be charged with?!"

Lan Jun screamed in shock and anger, feeling extremely nervous.

Chao’s pressure was already very strong, and he even attacked secretly... This shows that this person has no regard for face, dignity and other boring things, and will do anything to achieve his goals.

The councillors from the other two tribes were also extremely nervous. They held their breath and were ready to take action at any time.

Including all the human beings, their expressions became serious.

"belch."

Chao burped, and a throne appeared behind him. He sat on it, looked down coldly, and then stared at Lan Jun and smiled: "Why, can't the throne councillors be killed? Who stipulated this? Poseidon?"

"What Chao Zu said is absolutely right. The Sea God did not stipulate that throne councillors cannot be killed."

Cangda laughed and complimented, then said triumphantly: "Now we can vote."

His eyes glanced at the six outer tribes intentionally or unintentionally.

All six of them looked nervous and dared not say a word.

"One more thing, don't forget that I am also a member of the throne."

Chao said lightly.

Everyone was stunned; they had never expected this.

When a member of the throne is killed or injured, the other members will vote together to select new members to make up the twenty-one members.

When Chao retired to practice cultivation, he did not leave the Coral Throne, but there was actually one person missing, so he was added to the position in the subsequent council.

"According to the rules, more than two-thirds of the members need to vote to expel another member. You can check the records. No parliament has ever expelled me."

Chao said with a sneer.

"Yes! So that's how it is. If Chao Zu hadn't shown up, we would have forgotten about it!"

Cang was even more delighted.

Now the number of people on both sides became eleven to nine.

Even if someone from the other six tribes changed their minds and defected, the odds would still be ten to ten, making them basically invincible.

If there were still some people from the six outer tribes who might defect, now almost no one dared to do so. As soon as Chao appeared, he launched an unethical sneak attack and killed a late-stage Spiritualization councillor in seconds. Who among the six of them would dare to stand on the opposite side? At this moment, they were all silent.

"Now more than half of the councillors are demanding a vote. If you do not vote, you will be violating the rules of the Coral Throne and tantamount to betraying the Sea God. All sea creatures should rise up and kill you!"

Chao smiled grimly, licked the blood on his lips with his tongue, and looked excited.

"Now it's clear who the traitor is."

Xing said slowly, looking at Yiyun: "Now our friends from the human race can help us clean up the traitors."

"Okay, but what good would it be for us to come all this way at all costs just to clear out the traitors for you?"

Yiyun said lazily and stretched, as if he didn't care about the affairs of their sea clan.

"What benefit do you want?"

Xing asked coldly.

"I heard that the Purple Palace Stele is in the hands of the Sea Clan. We really want to take a look. If you lend this stele to the Holy Island for research for a hundred years, I will immediately take action to help you clean up the traitors."

Yiyun said slowly.

"Understood. Everyone listen up. Kill the traitors from the Guming and Lingbo tribes, as well as these humans. Kill them all!"

There was a gleam of light in Xing's eyes as he gave the order.

Everyone was extremely nervous. This unprecedented war was ignited in an instant, and terrifying energy quickly fluctuated in front of the Temple of Poseidon.

……

In the mysterious space, the three of them stared at the burly figure that appeared, and Lu Ran suddenly screamed, "Pan!"

Xie Huan also recognized the figure and his expression changed drastically.

What made him even more panicked was that he could influence others in this mysterious space?

But then I calmed down and thought it shouldn't be possible. It was just a kind of interference of the same frequency. It was impossible to take action here.

"Xie Huan! It's you!"

Pan's face appeared, and a pair of blue eyes looked at Xie Huan with a complicated look, but soon became clear and firm.

"No, leave quickly!"

Lu Ran called out again, forming seals with her hands, and energy fluctuations emanated from her seals.

The three people gradually faded and disappeared into the mysterious space. This time Pan did not try to stop them.

When the three returned to the ancient world, an extremely bad feeling came over them and they felt inexplicably tense all over.

"How could I be so unlucky following you guys? I was directly targeted by the number one person in the sea clan, maybe even the number one person in this world. I am scared all over now."

Long Xiu said with a pale face.

Xie Huan and Lu Ran also looked unhappy.

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from a distant place, extremely chaotic, and spread to the ancient world.

"Is the fight started?"

Lu Ran stared at the "moon" with a serious expression, and visible destruction was spreading across it.
