Chapter 493: Ying Tian Sect Master, Chen Yuan!
Yi Mo Cangxing's hunch was not wrong, and the next vote was meaningless.
In his plan, if everything goes well, Feng Xiaoxiao will become the only candidate for the sect master, and naturally he will not have to go through the step of voting.
Each of these many elders in the council hall has a long life experience, and he is even more powerful and in charge of one party, no matter what his position and cultivation are, in Chen Yuan's words, each of them has the attributes of politicians.
The so-called politicians make decisions based more on interests, rather than on personal perceptions.
Therefore, if there is only one candidate for Feng Xiaoxiao, the elders will judge intellectually, and in the case of Xu Buying's abdication, they will determine that Feng Xiaoxiao's successor is beneficial to the stability and continuation of the sect, then they will choose to support it, which is not swayed by personal feelings.
However, when given a choice, the situation is different......
Mo Cangxing seized the opportunity to impeach Xu Buyi just after the thunder tribulation, and the elders couldn't stop it, but dissatisfaction in their hearts was inevitable.
Coupled with the fact that Xu Bu showed weakness and retreated again and again, the elders had an even worse sense of Mo Cangxing's bullying of the sect master.
Even with it, Feng Xiaoxiao, who was pushed out by Mo Cangxing, was not welcomed.
On the other hand, the elders have received a lot of benefits from Chen Yuan over the years, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, which are treasure-picking refining creations, which everyone has a share.
Not to mention the spirit weapons that Chen Yuan personally refined later, these elders were also the first to possess them.
Before refining a spiritual weapon, Chen Yuan would intimately ask the elders about their preferences and requirements, and he bothered a lot, but he didn't accept anything except the basic raw materials, and he never made any requests to the elders who held the power.
This kind of bribery, or filial piety, naturally cannot make the elders go against their own principles, but it can make the elders emotionally inclined at this critical moment when they are faced with a choice.
And once people have a tendency, they will spontaneously find a reasonable excuse for this tendency.
Just like now, when the elders decided who to vote for, they subconsciously had the idea of "Feng Xiaoxiao, that guy looks annoying, and Chen Yuan, this kid is very pleasing to the eye".
But they don't want to admit that they are influenced by such nonsensical reasons, so they will spontaneously find a high-sounding reason for their choice.
For example, in terms of ability, Chen Yuan is also much better than Feng Xiaoxiao.
You see that Feng Xiaoxiao has been silent for many years, and for more than ten years, he has only made such a small contribution to recovering the surrounding forces of Ningcheng.
On the other hand, Chen Yuan, since he joined the sect, there have been many elder meetings specifically held for him.
Uh, although Chen Yuan's kid is indeed too tossed, but can he toss just to reflect his ability from the side?
In short, in the eyes of these elders, their choice to vote for Chen Yuan was not because of his sugar-coated cannonballs, but completely under the premise of fairness, justice and openness, and in an attitude of being responsible for the sect, they elected the most capable and suitable successor of the sect.
Before the voting was completely over, Mo Cangxing found an excuse to retire with Feng Xiaoxiao and the people of the Law Enforcement Palace.
There is no need to count the final result, except for their own people in the Law Enforcement Palace, almost all the other votes were cast for Chen Yuan.
Feng Xiaoxiao lost his soul and was dragged away by his master like a marionette.
The changes came too fast, and Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't even accept it before he could react.
Before coming, Feng Xiaoxiao was full of ambition and full of expectations, and after joining the Ying Tianzong, he made great achievements; when he went, Feng Xiaoxiao fled like a lost dog, but no one cared, and no one looked at him more.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Yuan at this time.
Chen Yuan still had a faint smile on his face, and his young face even looked a little shy, just like when he first walked into the council hall.
But everyone knows that some things are no longer the same.
Compared to the longevity that Chen Yuan had during his distraction period, his true age of only thirty years old was really terrifyingly young.
However, it was this young man with a calm face who would become the sect master in the mouths of more than 100,000 disciples, thousands of deacons, pavilion masters, and hundreds of city lords and elders in the next tens and hundreds of years!
He will become the seventh ruler of the Holy Land Sect of Ying Tianzong, become one of the most powerful people on this continent, and become the master of the fate of others!
Identity is precious because of power, and status is exalted because of power.
Unconsciously, the elders looked at Chen Yuan's gaze, from looking at the appreciation and admiration of an outstanding junior disciple to looking at the respect and admiration of the sect master!
This is the power of power, this is the dazzling aura brought by the position of the Heavenly Sect Master!
Chen Yuan stood with his hands in his hands, he noticed the change in the elders' eyes, but his gaze did not stop at all, he looked past the slightly lowered heads of the elders, and looked straight into the distant void.
When Chen Yuan was still a miscellaneous servant assigned by the twenty-seventh, he never thought that he could be where he is today, but he has come all the way to today.
When Chen Yuan was just a miscellaneous disciple who filled the vacancies of the dead, he was in a state of panic, and all he thought about was how to survive in this strange world.
And when Chen Yuan's ability awakened and he became an inner disciple, there was a little more thing called ambition in his heart, he wanted to cultivate to a higher level, and he wanted to see more beautiful scenery.
Next, when Chen Yuan founded the treasure selection, met the dog leftovers, passed the main sect assessment, and directly became a personal disciple, he knew that he was destined to have an extraordinary life in the future.
When Chen Yuan escaped the night killing in Ningcheng and learned that he had turned against Feng Xiaoxiao, he made up his mind to compete to become a disciple of the sect master, which was purely out of a revenge psychology that you want me to not let you get.
It wasn't until Chen Yuan learned that Senior Brother Fan had died, the sect was indifferent, he was imprisoned by the Great Elder, and after escaping, he went to the Spirit Refining Gate alone to take revenge as if he had killed himself, Chen Yuan's heart was full of grief and unwillingness.
Chen Yuan has never been so eager for power and power as he was at that moment, he wants to have this power, to protect himself and the people he cares about, he wants to have this kind of power, to be able to control the fate of himself and others.
From then on, Chen Yuan's eyes were locked on the high position-the position of the Sect Master of Yingtian Sect!
Now that the goal has finally been achieved, perhaps there should be some sense of emptiness after the long-cherished wish has been achieved?
No!
Chen Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and secretly told himself in his heart: This is just the way to go!
Chen Yuan's eyes looked at the vast sky with complicated eyes, as if he was admonishing the master of the underworld, and as if he was muttering to himself: "No matter why you created me, but what I get, don't even think about taking it back!"
