CHAPTER 1549: CHAPTER 1548 VOTING (6 MORE UPDATES)

"Whether it’s nonsense, everyone knows it clearly!" Su Yang said coldly, "Since this is the Human Realm, the heavenly rules must fit the situation of the Human Realm. Otherwise, why did those predecessors set such heavenly rules with the Heavenly Court?"

At this, some people began to voice their support.

The Second Elder was extremely angry, speaking furiously, and debated with Su Yang. However, the Second Elder’s debating skills were far inferior to Su Yang’s, becoming increasingly inadequate as the argument went on, ultimately rendering him speechless.

The Cloud Emperor watched all this from the side, his face showing mild indifference, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

When the Second Elder really had nothing more to say, the Cloud Emperor finally chuckled, "It seems everyone has their own ideas. What everyone says makes sense, so this matter is difficult for the Heavenly Court to judge. Why don’t we vote as we used to, with the minority obeying the majority, how about it?"

The Second Elder had long been waiting for these words from the Cloud Emperor. Upon hearing them, he immediately smiled and said, "I support it!"

The Cloud Emperor turned to Su Yang, who frowned and said, "Since we are to wait for everyone to vote, it should wait until the Ten Great Sects are all present before voting. Right now, the people from the Innate Sect have not arrived. I suggest we wait until they arrive!"

"Very well!" The Cloud Emperor nodded and sat back without saying more.

The Second Elder glanced at Su Yang and sneered, "Su Yang, do you still expect the people from the Innate Sect to come and help you? Let me tell you straightforwardly, the people from the Innate Sect can’t come this time!"

Su Yang’s expression changed; for so long, the absence of the people from the Innate Sect had already made him somewhat worried, suspecting that they might have encountered some situation.

Now that the Second Elder said this, the matter was confirmed. At this point, the Medicine Sect had five sects on its side, while Su Yang only had four. In this vote, Su Yang was definitely at a disadvantage!

"What... what exactly did you do to the Innate Sect!" Su Yang quickly turned to the Cloud Emperor. "Cloud Emperor, the Innate Sect is in trouble. If the Ten Great Sects cannot gather, can we temporarily not vote?"

The Cloud Emperor slightly frowned, "This meeting was planned long ago. If the Ten Great Sects do not participate, it is equivalent to an automatic abstention, and there’s no such thing as not voting!"

Su Yang’s expression was icy; he certainly understood that the Heavenly Court would undoubtedly support those from the Medicine Sect.

Previously, Wu Zheng had told him that these people from the Medicine Sect claimed to be absolutely confident of victory. At the time, Su Yang didn’t understand the situation, but now he realizes that these people were conspiring against the Innate Sect!

"The Innate Sect must have encountered something. These people take action against the Innate Sect to win the vote. How can such a vote be fair?" Su Yang said anxiously.

"Well, that’s not something I can inquire about!" The Cloud Emperor shrugged.

At this moment, the Second Elder sneered again, "Su Yang, don’t slander us lightly. The Innate Sect is in trouble, but it’s unrelated to us. Their issues are internal conflicts—the previous Sect Master was harmed by the current Sect Master, a power grab. Recently, the son of the former Sect Master returned and gained much support within the sect. They are currently vying for the Sect Master position, and have no time to participate in this matter. What does it have to do with me?"

Su Yang’s expression changed again; the Innate Sect, at this crucial moment, unexpectedly encountered such a thing?

Although the Second Elder claimed it was unrelated to him, Su Yang can surely confirm that it’s them manipulating things behind the scenes.

However, now that such things have happened, it’s impossible to have the Innate Sect people come over anymore.

After waiting a while, the Cloud Emperor said, "Alright, time’s up. Since the Innate Sect people aren’t here, it’s counted as an automatic abstention. Next, please vote. Sect members who agree to amend the heavenly rules, stand to my left. Those who disagree, stand to my right. Please make your choice!"

The people from the Medicine Sect, Soaring Cloud Hall, Heavenly Blade Peak, and Horizon’s End went directly to the Cloud Emperor’s left. Meanwhile, people from Martial God Altar, Hidden Sword Pavilion, Thousand Snow Palace, and Jade Maiden Peak all stood on the Cloud Emperor’s right.

On-site, only the Great Might Dragon Gate remained!

Everyone glanced at the Great Might Dragon Gate. The decision of this sect would thoroughly decide the outcome of this matter!

Second Elder and his group were all sneering, feeling sure of their victory. Wu Zheng had taken the elixir they provided, thus they believed he must act on their behalf. They had no worries this time.

Su Yang’s group was frowning, for Wu Zheng had come with those four sects, clearly intending to support them.

In the gaze of all the crowd, Wu Zheng finally moved. He slowly walked to stand before the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect.

The Second Elder was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "Great, the outcome is decided..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Wu Zheng chuckled, "Second Elder, sorry, I think your suggestion isn’t very good. So I choose not to modify the heavenly rules!"

With that, Wu Zheng directly walked to the right side of the Cloud Emperor and sat down next to Su Yang!

At that moment, the whole room fell silent, even the Cloud Emperor was stunned, looking at Wu Zheng in bewilderment. He never expected this situation to arise.

Earlier, the Second Elder had transmitted a message to him, saying that everything was settled. But now, what’s this situation? The Great Might Dragon Gate unexpectedly betrayed them at the last moment, choosing to support Su Yang!

Su Yang’s group was also stunned by this unexpected outcome, leaving them unable to comprehend. Who could have thought that their original expectations of losing were overturned with the Great Might Dragon Gate’s support at the last moment?

After a while, the Second Elder was the first to shout, "Wu Zheng, what... what are you doing? Didn’t you say you supported us?"

"But I think Alliance Leader Su made a very valid point, so I believe it’s better not to modify the heavenly rules," Wu Zheng said earnestly.

"You..." The Second Elder was infuriated, pointing at Wu Zheng, "You dare deceive me? You took so many elixirs from me, yet you don’t help me?"

In anger, the Second Elder decided to expose the matter, planning to make Wu Zheng pay for it.

"By you saying this, I should really thank you for all those elixirs!" Wu Zheng laughed, "Second Elder, though we’re old friends, I truly didn’t expect you’d be so generous, gifting me so many elixirs at once. Thanks, I’ll treat you to a meal sometime!"

The Second Elder was dumbfounded; he had expected revealing this would make Wu Zheng fearful or come over to support them. Who could have foreseen that Wu Zheng wouldn’t be scared at all, even jestingly responding, leaving the Second Elder utterly confused about what was going on!
