Chapter 368: Divergence
If Cui Daoan just now only adopted a delaying strategy to prevent Lu Li from becoming the overseer, then Pan Rujing's words were completely qualified.
The meaning of the words is that Lu Li will never be allowed to enter the Scarlet Battle Court sequence, and there is no room for negotiation.
The reaction of the entire gladiatorial arena varied, but there was no doubt that there were still a significant number of people who disagreed with Pan Rujing's words. There are no rules, there is no circle, since the responsibility has been exonerated, it cannot be used to talk about this, and the Huang family has captive humans without authorization to carry out the bloodline genetic modification program, which is a felony that annihilates human nature, and it is not a pity to die.
"Haha, what a joke, you guys have everything, why didn't you make any hard and fast explanations when you decided on the list of Overseer contenders?
His words immediately aroused the echo of many people, especially the children of the poor family, who had long been on fire and had long been dissatisfied with what the ten major power groups had done.
"Yes, if your Scarlet War Court announced that it would not accept the former Blood Soul Prisoner from the beginning, it would naturally have nothing to say, but the problem is that you didn't make any explanations, don't you think it's too late to announce it now?" another disciple of the Han Sect stood up and said in a loud voice.
"On this issue, your Scarlet War Court has an unshirkable responsibility, this is your negligence, and you can't blame others!" Qiao Shan also said loudly.
"That's right, since the owner of our family has been killed from the gladiatorial arena and has been exonerated from his crimes, why should he be deprived of this overseer?" Liu Kui shouted.
"Are you going back on your word, do you still have any credibility?" said Xiao San.
"Yes, shameless!" Xiao Si was not to be left behind.
“......”
For a time, the sound of verbal criticism and writing reverberated in the sky above the school field in the eastern suburbs.
In the end, a person suddenly stood up: "No matter who is right or wrong in this matter, our Scarlet War Court does have negligence. You shouldn't unilaterally deprive Lord Lu of his qualifications as an overseer, you might as well give Lord Lu another chance!"
This person is Xiao Zhan, the chief of staff of the Scarlet War Court, and as soon as these words came out, they immediately pushed this criticism to a new peak.
The faces of Pan Rujing, Cui Daoan and others were very ugly, obviously they didn't expect Xiao Zhan to help Lu Li speak at the critical moment. Xiao Zhan was different from those poor disciples in the stands, he was one of the seven giants on the bright side of the Scarlet War Court Elders' Guild. The portions are heavy.
More importantly, this also meant that the divisions within the Scarlet War Court began to become public.
"Damn, this Xiao Zhan is actually fueling the flames at this time!" Pan Rujing was annoyed, he could ignore the voice of the outside world, and he could ignore the voice of the children of the poor family, but Xiao Zhan's voice couldn't be ignored.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Zhan's words fell, many clan members belonging to the Scarlet War Court spoke out:
"Yes, doing so is really damaging to the reputation of our Scarlet Court. ”
"Hmph. If you want me to say, it's not a pity that the children of the Huang family died, and the owner of Lu Zhuang did the right thing. ”
“......”
The Scarlet War Court has never been monolithic, in addition to the ten major power groups, there are also many small clan alliance forces, they may not be able to control the discourse of the Scarlet War Court, but once united, no one of the power groups can be ignored.
Xiao Zhan is basically outside the top ten power groups. The reason why he was able to ascend to the position of chief of staff and become the nominal supreme commander of the ten major army corps. A large part of this is due to the support of these small clan forces.
Of course, the more important reason is the checks and balances and compromises between the ten major power groups.
Xiao Zhan felt the annoyed gaze from Pan Rujing and the others, but he didn't care in the slightest. He was one of the seven giants on the bright side of the Scarlet War Court, and he also knew about the plot of the ten major power groups to dismember the Scarlet War Court, and of course, their Xiao family did not promise many benefits. If he is self-reliant, he will become the emperor of the soil of a region.
Faced with the coercion and temptation of the ten major power groups, Xiao Zhan had no room to resist, so he could only choose silence.
To be honest, he was really tempted. After all, it is the soil emperor of a region. But Xiao Zhan's mind is more sober, he knows that he can have today's status, of course, there is a reason for the support of small clan forces, but in the final analysis, it is due to the mutual checks and balances within the ten major power groups. No one was convinced by anyone, and by the way, he was cheaper.
But once the Scarlet War Court is dismembered, he Xiao Zhan will lose the need to balance the interests of all parties, can he still maintain his current position? Obviously, he can't.
And even if his Xiao family really cracked the earth and sealed the marquis, could he withstand the eyes of the ten major power groups? Therefore, in the era of Boundless Ancestor's inaction, all he could do was to disrupt the deployment of the ten major power groups, and it was best to absorb the variable of Lu Li into the Scarlet War Court.
At least the day when the Scarlet Court is divided and dismembered, there is a potential ally.
As for the other small clan forces that spoke out against Pan Rujing's words, they didn't know that the Ten Great Forces Group intended to dismember the Scarlet War Court, they just did it out of a sympathetic instinct.
They have been suppressed and excluded by the top ten power groups, how similar is it to Lu Li's current situation, and with Xiao Zhan, one of the giants, as the vanguard, they naturally want to wave their flags.
"If you want me to willingly hand over this overseer position, it's impossible!" Lu Li suddenly said, "I'm standing here, if I want to take back this overseer position, then come up with a convincing means, just rely on these verbal disputes, it's shameful!"
"This matter is indeed inconsiderate by our Scarlet War Court, and we should give Master Lu another chance. After a long silence, Tian Chuan, the ancestor of the Tian family, also spoke up.
His thoughts were similar to Xiao Zhan's, since he was powerless to stop the secret plots of the ten major force groups, he would introduce a new force to completely muddy the backwater of the Scarlet War Court.
Cui Daoan frowned, obviously he didn't expect Lian Tian and Xiao to jump out one after another, things were getting out of control more and more, and the faces of several other half-step super powerhouses were also cloudy. As for Pan Rujing, his face can't be described as difficult.
Just as he was about to say something, a voice sounded, and it completely made him swallow what he was about to say back into his stomach.
"That's right!" This voice was very abrupt, and what was even more unexpected was that it came from the rostrum.
"Brother Duanmu, what do you mean by this?" Murong Pingqiu, the ancestor of the Murong clan, asked out loud.
"Hehe, Brother Murong, my Scarlet War Court can stand for so long, relying on a mouthful of spit and a nail, this matter is not considered by us in advance, but we can't complain about Lord Lu. Duanmu Lianying stroked the long beard on his chest.
"Brother Duanmu is right, this matter is our fault first, and we should give Master Lu a chance to prove himself. Jiang Ru, the ancestor of the Jiang family, who had been silent on the side, also spoke.
Several other half-step superpowerhouses did not speak, but silence often represented an attitude.
Pan Rujing frowned, he never expected that in the end, there would be disagreements within the top ten power groups, and it was obviously inappropriate for him to insist on forcibly depriving Lu Li of his qualifications as an overseer. (To be continued.) )
