After the third elder said these words, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall. Nearly half of the elders looked enthusiastic, clearly supporting the referendum. The great elder's face was ashen, and he squinted his eyes tightly. At this moment, the murderous intent in his eyes was already solid. Since the first generation of strong men were killed by the Demon Sect one after another after the death of the Fire Lord, he has the highest power in the clan. The great elder has great ambitions, but his position has never been able to reach absolute authority, and he has never been able to become the patriarch of the clan with unquestionable prestige. The patriarch of the previous generation was the Fire Lord Zhou Yanlie, who was famous in the Upper God Realm. Compared with the patriarch of the previous generation, the prestige of the great elder Zhou Sha was not even the slightest bit worse. He also knew that if he forcibly inherited the position of patriarch, the clan members would always be in trouble. Compare him to the Lord of Fire. However, that would only cause his prestige to be lost even more. And these are not the most intolerable things for the great elder. The most intolerable thing for him is the third generation Zhou Qinghou. He is the only person in the clan who has cultivated and inherited the secret technique, and has successfully brought the fire of that year from heaven and earth. The god of the Lord is summoned back. Now Zhou Qinghou has reached the three-point Divine Lord Will, and his use of the power of laws is superb. No one in the clan can match him. Once he raises his cultivation level to the Emperor Realm in the future, his true combat power will reach the Emperor level. Great perfection, even higher. By then, he will be the number one member of the Zhou clan. If Zhou Qinghou raises his cultivation to the intermediate or high level of Emperor, or even reaches the Great Perfection of Emperor in cultivation, then coupled with his three-point Divine Lord will, by then, Zhou Qinghou will be the Zhou family ZTE's only hope. Although I don¡¯t know how many years it will take for Zhou Qinghou to reach that point, this has already imperceptibly threatened the status of the Great Elder Zhou Sha. "A referendum for the whole clan?" The muscles on the elder's face were twitching. He knew the popularity and prestige of Zhou Qinghou in the clan. If the whole clan vote was really carried out as the third elder said, then it would be difficult for the final result to develop in the direction he wanted. Zhou Zhongxing? Why does the Zhou family want to be revived? Even if Zhou Qinghou has grown up and his combat power has surpassed that of Emperor Zun Dzogchen, so what? Can he defeat the Supreme God of the Demon Sect? Zhou Qinghou only had three-thirds of the Divine Lord's will, and the Supreme Divine Lord had already reached forty-three-thirds of the Divine Lord's will. Even the Fire Lord in his heyday died under the evil power of the Demon Sect. The strength of their descendants No matter how strong it is, what's the use. It would be better to be a vassal of the Demon Sect, be protected by the Demon Sect, and disappear safely away from Fentian Xiaoyan Territory. His great elder Zhou Sha is only satisfied with being able to rule the Zhou clan permanently. "Referendum?" Great Elder Zhou Sha's eyes were full of evil spirits, and he said coldly: "Now that the Demon Sect's ultimatum has been issued for three days, we have no time to waste on endless discussions. Referendum? We don't have that many Time will come." Third Elder Zhou Tie'e protected Zhou Qinghou and his wife behind him, and said coldly: "Elder, I'm afraid we, the Elder Pavilion, have to make a collective decision on such a big matter, but you can't make the decision alone." Third Elder Huo Ran. Turning to look at the dozens of elders in the main hall, he shouted loudly: "Everyone has heard the opinions I just argued with the great elder. Whether to hold a referendum or not, everyone comes to give your opinions. If you agree, please raise your hands." Everyone looked at each other and signaled each other with their eyes. Finally, five people slowly raised their hands. Following the lead of these five people, more people began to raise their hands one after another. After a while, more than half of the people expressed their stance, and the number of people raising their hands continued to increase. ¡°Obviously, the third elder¡¯s suggestion is more popular. For such a big matter, in the end, only the decision made by all the clan members can be powerful. The great elder stood at the top, looking at the almost one-sided situation with a pale face. Over the years, the most unbearable thing for him was that he, the most powerful person, could not have the final say at critical moments. The Great Elder and the Patriarch only have half a position change, but this half position is crucial. The Patriarch can decide the world with one word and set the direction of major decisions with just one sentence, but the Great Elder has to hold his own at every turn. . If the final clan meeting decides not to send Zhou Qinghou and his wife away, but instead the entire clan takes refuge in the Wood Demon Mansion, then the great elder will lose even more of his prestige and face, and his rights in the clan will be even more threatened. of weakening. The great elder secretly clenched his fists with veins. "When did it take so much trouble to decide something?" An old voice came from the back of the hall. Following this voice, an old man with a golden and purple robe and a hale and hearty face walked slowly from the back of the hall. When he came out, he stood at the position where the great elder Zhou Sha had just been, and heHe sat down naturally and glanced at His Highness. The divine light in his eyes suddenly made dozens of people below him feel worried at the same time. "The Supreme Elder." The hall fell silent for a moment. Dozens of people were in astonishment, and at the same time they bowed respectfully to the old man. This is the only remaining strong man among the first generation of the Zhou clan. He is the venerable figure of Fire Lord Zhou Yanlie¡¯s generation. He is a powerful figure who followed Fire Lord Zhou Yanlie to fight in all directions and led the whole clan to glory again and again. In order to avenge the Fire Lord, almost all of the older generation fell under the attack of the Lord of the Demon Sect. Now the Zhou clan only has this Supreme Leader left. This prince did not dare to face the power of the Demon Sect. He had always kept a low profile and kept a low profile. He had very few opportunities to show up in the clan. Who would have thought that he would suddenly show up today. This Supreme Being is the supreme one in the clan, so many elders dare not even show their dignity in front of him. The old man looked far away outside the hall, with a distant look in his eyes. He slowly said: "I think back then, the Fire Lord led our brothers to be proud in the Upper God Realm. Under the encirclement and suppression of countless forces, we led the whole clan again and again. After overcoming the crisis of life and death, the Zhou clan became huge today. What should we do at the most important moment of decision-making for the whole clan? At that time, there was never any collective vote in the Elder Pavilion, nor was there any referendum on the whole clan. At that time, it was just us. If you say anything, it will decide the life and death of the entire clan, and now it seems that such a decision is often the most efficient." The old man looked at the dozens of people below him and said lightly: "So, you don't want to either. No more hard work, the Demon Sect's ultimatum is right in front of me, and there is no time to waste. I have decided, you should send people to send Qinghou and his wife to the Demon Sect immediately. Zhou Sha's decision is right, sacrificing the two of them. The interests of our entire clan are the greatest justice." Dozens of people in the hall were in a low uproar. Who doesn¡¯t know that this Supreme Being is the great elder¡¯s uncle. As expected, the tone of the speech of this Supreme Elder was exactly the same as that of the Great Elder. I am afraid that his sudden departure today was completely arranged by the Great Elder. He used the Supreme Elder to suppress the dissatisfaction of other elders and hand over Zhou Qinghou in one fell swoop. The Zhou clan will be their world from now on. The elders of His Highness couldn't understand the stakes in this. However, what happened to the Supreme Prince? Indeed, he was a figure who conquered the world with the Fire Lord back then. In front of such a powerful superior, these elders They don't have the courage to refute and contradict.
