Chapter 382: Dongfang Ming's Final Decision (Fourth Update)
Dongfang Ming opposed the third-class sect to join the alliance, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the scene suddenly became a little chaotic, and people talked about it.
The battle between the main and deputy alliance leaders suddenly began, and most of those neutral sects fell to Dongfang Ming's side at once, which was very unexpected.
You must know that in the past two years, Dongfang Ming has not asked about the world, and he has almost no dealings with the big factions in the Martial Arts League, and those big factions don't owe Dongfang Ming any favors, and they are actually willing to help Dongfang Ming at a critical moment, so that people can fall through the glasses.
Zhao Wou-Ki looked a little flustered, he gave Dongfang Ming a dismissal during the voting of the last sect, and wanted Dongfang Ming to see clearly the fact that he wanted to call for wind and rain in the Martial Arts League, and he also asked him if Zao Wou-Ki agreed.
But when it came time for the third-class sect to vote, he gave Dongfang Ming face, and the ** gate successfully joined the alliance, just in exchange for allowing Nanquanmen to join the alliance smoothly.
The third-class sect is not equal to the last-class sect, each of them is extremely precious, I didn't expect Dongfang Ming to give himself so little face, and cut off one of his arms in one fell swoop!
No wonder he didn't care about it before, it turned out that he was waiting for himself here, waiting to give himself a heavy blow in the third-class sect!
Now there is no vote, only the Shaolin Temple family, and Zao Wou-ki, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly became unconfident.
Shaolin Temple is also Dongfang Ming's resolute opposition to joining the alliance, and the abbot of Shaolin Temple came to his side after arriving in Butterfly Valley, which is also a well-known thing.
When there was the South Boxing Gate, Zao Wou-Ki didn't care much about the Shaolin Temple, but now that the South Boxing Gate was eliminated, he panicked, if the Shaolin Temple was also eliminated, then he would almost get nothing.
Lest that happen again, he asked the Assembly to suspend it for a while and to resume voting an hour later.
Dongfang Ming smiled and agreed to Zao Wou-Ki's request.
The meeting was suspended, and Dongfang Ming got up and left the high platform and returned to the main hall of the alliance.
Unrelated people were all moving freely, and Zao Wou-Ki gathered all the people under his command together, including Huo Yuanzhen, who was also found by Zao Wou-ki.
Ziyang first said to Zao Wou-Ki, "Lord Zhao, we should immediately send someone to contact the heads of those neutral sects and ask them to support us in the last vote. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you must contact, bring a silver ticket, a sect of 100,000 taels, just ask them to help Zhao in the end!"
Soon, a few people were sent out to contact the voting neutral sects
Zao Wou-Ki sat in his chair with some frustration at this time.
"Everyone, it seems that we are all careless, Dongfang Ming is also prepared, our sect wants to join the alliance, it is not so easy!"
This is in the attic of Zao Wou-Ki in the eastern area of Butterfly Valley, and there are no heads of the two factions of Wudang and the Beggar Gang here, after all, it is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and it is not good to go too close to Zao Wou-Ki and it is too obvious to support it at a critical moment.
Ziyang Daoist said at this time: "Zhao Alliance Master, my subordinates think that it is impossible for those neutral sects to support Dongfang Ming all the time, they may owe Dongfang Ming some favors, but the heavy vote just now has already repaid Dongfang Ming's favor, they will definitely not continue to support Dongfang Ming unconditionally, there is one last vote below, maybe they will not do so." ”
Zhao Wuji glanced at Ziyang: "What you said has some truth, what an arrogant person the Kongtong Sect is, of course it is impossible for Dongfang Ming to be used all the time, Tianshan and Tangmen are similar, but we have already lost once, this time we must not lose again, although we speculate so, but if those factions still vote against it once, we will lose nothing." ”...,
Everyone nodded one after another, speculating that it was possible, but it was impossible to prevent that if Shaolin failed to join the alliance, then the little advantage that Zao Wou-Ki had built up over the years would be tilted towards Dongfang Ming.
Seeing Zao Wou-Ki lose his advantage, there will naturally be a chain reaction, and many neutral sects may fall to Dongfang Ming, and by that time, it will be too late.
But now they don't have a good way, they can only wait for those few people who go out to contact.
They were all in the Butterfly Valley, not far away, and after a while, those people came back and said to Zhao Wouji: "Master Zhao, the heads of those sects have the same attitude, saying that they will vote impartially for the last time, but they will not accept our gifts." ”
Hearing these people's words, Zhao Wuji's face was cloudy, and he said to Ziyang: "Daoist Ziyang, what do you think?"
Ziyang was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lord Zhao League, it seems that we all underestimated Dongfang Ming, and we must have reached some kind of agreement with those neutral sects, so we will attack us at the last moment and keep out the two third-class sects of our side." ”
"Dongfang Ming, this is neither a man nor a woman!
Zao Wou-Ki's face turned pale, and he slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and the armrest broke in response!
Everyone is silent, and the neutral sect can't win it, so the final vote must be in Dongfang Ming's again, and it is very likely that it will still be the result just now.
Ziyang, who has always been resourceful, was also a little silent at this time.
Like an angry lion, Zao Wou-Ki spun around in place several times, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said: "It seems that Dongfang Ming is sincere in cutting off my hands and feet first, and then looking for an opportunity to clean me up, we can't wait to be killed." ”
"What does Lord Zhao mean?"
"Hmph! There is still a qualifying meeting after the voting is over, the qualifying meeting will not end soon, it may take a few days, and our original plan seems to be ahead of schedule. ”
"Master Zhao, won't this be too much. ”
"Needless to say!"
Zhao Wuji waved his hand, and then looked around: "You can go down, I will discuss some things with Daoist Ziyang alone." ”
Although they are all Zao Wou-ki's subordinates, but there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Ziyang is Zao Wou-ki's henchman and think-tank, and the rest of the people are still a little worse, and Zao Wou-Ki will not tell them important things.
Huo Yuanzhen participated in the discussion, but he didn't say a word, Zao Wou-Ki didn't ask him anything, nor did he explain anything, in his heart, Shaolin Temple is just a chess piece, how to decide, what to do, the chess piece has no part to speak.
Huo Yuanzhen is also happy to be idle, the only thing he is worried about is that Shaolin cannot join the alliance, which is very unfavorable for the future competition for the leader of the martial arts alliance, next year is the general election of the leader of the martial arts alliance, at that time, maybe Shaolin has no chance to join the alliance.
He was walking slowly, and after a while, he saw a subordinate of Zao Wou-Ki hurrying towards Zao Wou-Ki's attic with four small famous swords.
The four little famous swords looked worried, and when they saw Huo Yuanzhen, they didn't say hello, they just nodded, and their eyes were quite firm.
Huo Yuanzhen also nodded with them, sincerely hoping that they could leave the circle of right and wrong smoothly.
Back at the gate of his courtyard, Huo Yuanzhen didn't go in, but waited at the door for a while, because the conference was only suspended for an hour, and those who had to go to the polls after a while were left with only their own Shaolin faction.
Soon, the four little famous swords came out of Zhao Wouji's attic again, and hurriedly walked towards the area controlled by Dongfang Ming, and looking at the direction, it seemed to be Dongfang Shaobai's residential area.
After they left, Zao Wou-Ki and the others appeared from the attic again, and when they passed by Huo Yuanzhen's side, they beckoned Huo Yuanzhen to go to the venue again together. ..., I came to the venue again, and the people were almost there.
After a while of waiting, Dongfang Ming came out of the alliance leader's hall and returned to the high platform.
The host walked out again and announced to the following: "At the request of Vice Alliance Leader Zhao, the conference was suspended for a while, and now it continues, the following is the last third-class sect to join the alliance this time, and it is also the last sect to apply for membership this year, Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, now please vote!"
The first to vote was a group of second-class sects, which supported Zao Wou-Ki.
The head of a sect raised his hand and threw the ball into the green basin, and the Shaolin Temple was approved by one vote.
Then there was another group of second-class sects, which voted against.
Then another group of second-class sects voted against!
Zhao Wouji's face was pale, as expected, everything was under Dongfang Ming's control, and these sects didn't know what deal they had reached with Dongfang Ming, they would actually work so hard for him!
Then the elders began to vote, and Wudang and the beggar gang followed Zao Wou-Ki closely and voted for it.
The Tianshan faction also sided with Zao Wou-Ki again and voted through.
But then Zao Wou-Ki's nightmare began again, Kongtong, Juedaomen, and Tangmen voted against, and the votes suddenly became five to four!
Dongfang Ming smiled and looked at the voting on the field, and the people in the field were talking.
It seems that the general trend of this martial arts alliance is still in the hands of the leader of the Eastern Alliance, and whoever wants to join the alliance will not be able to join, no matter how hard Zao Wou-ki tries, it is not up to him to have the final say.
The host on the stage began to urge Zao Wou-Ki to vote.
Zao Wou-Ki reluctantly picked up a small ball and threw it into the green basin, making the vote count five to five.
People shook their heads, even if Zao Wou-Ki voted for it, it was useless, this time the result must be the same as last time, and in the end, Dongfang Ming vetoed it, and Shaolin was also eliminated.
Not only was Zao Wou-Ki's heart cold, but Huo Yuanzhen was also cold, thinking that it would not work after all?
After all, this Dongfang Ming is still the leader of the martial arts alliance, and how Zao Wou-Ki struggles is also a vice, and when it really comes to the decisive moment, he still can't confront Dongfang Ming.
Losing this opportunity, it will be difficult for Shaolin to join the alliance again, and if it can't join the alliance next year, then it will not be able to compete for the leader of the alliance within ten years.
If you can't compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance, you can't complete the system task, and if you don't complete the task, Huo Yuanzhen can't imagine it.
At this time, Dongfang Ming finally raised his hand under the watchful eye.
As soon as the ball in his hand was thrown, he fell to the bottom of the stage, and looked at the landing point of the parabola, and the target was the red basin that was opposed!
