Chapter 353: Vote Decide
Ling Ran understood Liu Piaopiao's meaning, no matter how fierce Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe were, in the end, it still had to depend on the meaning of the master.
However, Ling Ran still couldn't rest assured, now that the Five Elements Sect was worried about internal and external troubles, even if Qin Zun came back, it might be possible to follow most people's wishes. Handing over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Gate, after all, you can avoid a war.
Just as everyone was arguing, two figures descended from the sky to the door of the Tianheng Palace, and then strode in.
These two people are the head of Tianyangmen and the guardian of the sect.
Originally, they inquired about Ling Feng's whereabouts and were about to look for Ling Feng, but they received Fang Fatzi's paper crane and learned about everything that happened in Tianyangmen, so they rushed back non-stop.
"The Master and the Guardian are back!"
Everyone in Tianyangmen saluted one after another, and then made way for the two of them.
"No need to be polite!"
Sect Leader Qin Zun said with a calm face, and then walked straight into the Tianheng Palace, sitting on the throne directly above, his eyes scanning the people below.
Gongsun Changsong, the Guardian Lord, pointed at Xiao Heng, who was still trapped by the immortal rope, and asked with a displeased face, "Who did a good deed?!"
"This ......," Yang Zhan, the hall master of the Tianheng Palace, was hesitant.
Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe glanced at each other, and then Qi Baihe stood up and said:
"Xiao Heng provoked a war between us and the Five Elements Gate for his own selfish desires. When you and the master went out, the Five Elements Gate gave us an ultimatum, if we didn't hand over Xiao Heng, we would start a full-scale war with our Tianyangmen.
We had a meeting of elders in the morning, and we all felt that now we can't start a war with the Five Elements Gate, and if we start a war with the Five Elements Gate, I am afraid that the foundation of tens of thousands of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Therefore, after we voted to arrest Xiao Heng back, we are going to wait for you to come back, and then hand Xiao Heng over to the Five Elements Gate to avoid a war. ”
Bang!
Qin Zun slapped the stone table in front of him with a palm, and the stone table shattered, and the smoke and dust drifted, startling everyone.
Then, with a gloomy face, he shouted, "I'm not here with the Guardian and the Great Protector, so you have a council of elders?
He was already angry, he was the head of the Tianyang Sect, and when he was not there, someone actually held a meeting of elders in the sect, and it seemed that he didn't take him to heart.
"Sect leader, the Council of Elders was initiated by Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe. Liu Piaopiao, the hall master of the Yin Yang Palace, stood up and bowed down and said.
"Dead mother-in-law, you still want to bite us at this time! I really suspect that he and Xiao Heng have ulterior motives!"
Qi Baihe scolded in his heart and gave Zhang Bailin a look.
"Zhangjiao, the Council of Elders was initiated by us, we have no selfish intentions, and it is completely for the sake of the great cause of Tianyangmen. Zhang Bailin said with his waist straight.
Qi Baihe continued:
"We all feel that this matter was provoked by Xiao Heng and should be borne by Xiao Heng alone.
When the head of the sect and the great protector and the great protector were not there, it was indeed wrong for us to initiate the elder meeting, but we were also thinking about Tianyangmen, if we didn't arrest Xiao Heng back, he would continue to stimulate and provoke the Five Elements Gate, and there would be no turning back at that time.
If the master wants to punish us, we are willing to accept it. However, I beg the master, for the sake of the tens of thousands of years of Tianyangmen's foundation, I must not be rash and cannot shield Xiao Heng. For the sake of Xiao Heng alone, if he starts a war with the Five Elements Gate, if he destroys tens of thousands of years of foundation, he will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and he will be sorry for the disciples who have cultivated hard!"
"Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe are all thinking about the sect, if the head of the sect wants to punish them, we are willing to accept the punishment together. But we beg the master to stop shielding Xiao Heng. For his sake, it's really not worth it to go to war with the Five Elements Gate. Once the war starts, there will be countless casualties and unimaginable consequences......"
More than a dozen elders knelt down, but their words were sonorous and their attitudes were resolute.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zun, the head of the sect, changed his face and didn't say a word.
Xiao Heng was also stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe didn't know what they said to those people, what benefits they gave to those people, and they were so united.
Things have come to this point, which is far beyond Xiao Heng's expectations. So many elders and high-level leaders unanimously agreed to hand him over to the Five Elements Sect, even if Qin Zun, who was in charge of the sect, wanted to help him, it would be difficult to do it.
"Are you worthy of Xiao Heng by doing this? Xiao Heng is also the hero of our Tianyangmen, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get the spirit mine last time! Without those tens of billions of spirit stones, you can live so nourishingly?!"
Gongsun Changsong glanced at the dozen or so elders and high-ranking officials, and his voice was like thunder.
"You guys are really cowardly, the Five Elements Gate is going to war, we will accompany us to the end, what's so terrible?! Handing over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Gate is simply chilling, what will people in the world say about us Tianyangmen?"
"Lord Liu, I don't want to argue with you, and now is not the time to quarrel. While everyone is there, I suggest that the Council of Elders be reconvened and voted on to make the majority subordinate to the minority. Qi Baihe said loudly.
"We also recommend a vote!" a dozen elders chimed in.
"We also recommend a vote!" Outside the hall, countless disciples also spoke, and the crowd was surging and the sound shook in all directions.
These disciples have no voting rights at all, they just support their master, and of course they don't want to start a war with the Five Elements Gate, so they follow suit.
Qin Zun's face was full of gloomy clouds, in fact, he didn't want to hand over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Sect, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, even if he is the master of a sect, he can't clearly help Xiao Heng. If he clearly protects Xiao Heng, he will only lose his tongue, and it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, and it will also damage his character of convincing people with virtue.
Besides, he didn't want to start a war with the Five Elements Gate......
He thought for a moment and said, "Since you all have to vote, let's vote." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Heng's heart was completely cold. So many people are in favor of handing themselves over to the Five Elements Gate, if they vote, wouldn't it push Xiao Heng into the fire pit?
"I really can't imagine that I let the Five Elements Gate abandon it once, and now I have to be abandoned again...... Master, where are you...... Why is my own destiny always in someone else's hands......"
Xiao Heng's heart was dripping blood, a trace of black gas slowly appeared in his eyes, and the demonic blood in the depths of his soul was about to move.
Qin Zun took out two boxes and said with a calm face: "Those who are in favor of handing over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Gate will vote for the box on the left." If you disapprove, vote to the box on the right. ”
"Xiao Heng is the hero of our Tianyang Gate, and he destroyed several strongholds of the Five Elements Gate in order to help the Great Protector breathe a sigh of relief. If I were him, I would do the same. ”
Liu Piaopiao was the first to vote and cast her vote in the box on the right.
"I voted no. Gongsun Changsong also voted for the box on the right.
Zhang Bailin and Qi Baihe glanced at each other, and both of them curled up the corners of their mouths and smiled, because they had already taken care of everything.
"Xiao Heng is a troublemaker, since he came to Tianyangmen, there has not been a day of peace, and he can't be left in Tianyangmen. ”
After Qi Baihe and Zhang Bailin voted for the box on the left, there were elders and high-level officials who also voted for the box on the left.
Looking at everything that happened in front of him, Xiao Heng smiled, full of sadness and unwillingness. It's ridiculous that his fate was voted on by those people!
However, he let the bundle of immortal ropes trap, but he was helpless.
Soon, the voting ended.
The inner and outer doors of Tianyang Gate have three halls, three halls, and three pavilions, with a total of eighteen elders, plus the five protectors, and the guardians, a total of twenty-four high-level. But Ling Feng was not there, and there were only twenty-three people who voted.
The votes were witnessed by everyone, and everyone counted them one by one, and there was no possibility of fraud.
Those who were in favor of handing over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Gate had twelve votes. Those who disapproved had only eleven votes.
That's the result of the vote.
"The voting results have come out, hand over Xiao Heng to the Five Elements Gate!"
"Hand him over to the Five Elements Gate to avoid a war!"
"Immediately escort him to the Five Elements Gate to show our sincerity. ”
Several elders shouted, listening to Xiao Heng's ears, like sharp and ruthless swords, piercing his heart.
