Ling Xiao glanced at Huang Jinding before turning to look at Yang Fan, who was standing behind Huang Jinding.
This Yang Fan had always made him feel extremely pressured.
He was definitely not an ordinary person.
The Golden Sovereign's test was held in the Golden City's plaza.
Most people were qualified to watch the test.
However, ordinary warriors would not be able to get close to it.
Other than the 100 judges, there were the higher-ups and the six candidates in the center of the plaza.
It had to be said that today's Grand Plaza was truly a gathering of heroes.
The four Supreme Martial Artists were here.
There was no lack of martial artists at the fourth and third level of the Divine Body Realm.
They had no choice but to come. After all, the Golden Sovereign was related to the future of the Golden City and the entire Golden Sky Region.
The current Golden Sovereign was very old. He could pass away at any time.
Therefore, the current Golden Sovereign was very likely to be the successor.
It was important. They had to pay attention to it.
The first round tested the popularity of the candidates.
As a leader, it would be very awkward if no one supported him.
Generally speaking, the candidates who won the first round would have a 90% chance of becoming the Golden Sovereign.
This had happened before.
After all, the strength and wisdom of the candidates were usually on par.
The difference between the last two rounds would not be too big.
Therefore, the first round was very important.
This was why Ling Xiao and the Punishment Hall placed so much importance on this round.
"Young man, even if you don't get a high score in this round, you have to persevere. Don't be discouraged.
Try to get more points later. "
At this moment, the Flower King walked to Ling Xiao and said with concern.
Ling Xiao stood up and nodded.
He did not say anything.
From the Flower King's tone, he could tell that the Flower King did not have much confidence in his results.
After all, he did not have any foundation in the Golden City. Moreover, he had offended the Punishment Hall. Many warriors would not dare to openly support him.
However, this round of voting was open.
It was normal to lose.
Just listen to the discussions around him.
"Although I admire Ling Xiao, I'm afraid he will make a fool of himself in this round. Offending the Punishment Hall will not end well."
"Yes, and many people are jealous of him for meeting Di Zun twice. Maybe they won't vote for him because of this."
"What a pity! I really hoped that he could win and slap the Punishment Hall's face.
Those fellows from the Punishment Hall are too overbearing. I've had enough of them. "
"Shh, lower your voice. Do you want to die? If you want to support them, you should support them secretly. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death! "
"Sigh, the Punishment Hall covers the sky with one hand. Our Golden City will never be able to rise again!"
"No matter how angry you are, today's result is already very obvious.
Huang Jinyu, the King of Many Treasures, definitely got the most votes, followed by Valkyrie Yang Shuyi.
Thunder Sword Raymond and Little Fire God Baili Xuwu.
The Undying King and Ling Xiao are probably the weakest. "
"That's probably it."
Although the voting had yet to begin, people had already made their own judgments.
Even those who supported Ling Xiao knew that it was impossible for Ling Xiao to win this round.
Moreover, he would lose miserably.
Just like the Undying King, he was just a bystander.
"It seems that no one is optimistic about you. Those from the Punishment Hall are even more outspoken.
They criticize you in speech and in writing.
Can you still bear it? "
The Flame Emperor asked with a smile.
"Bear it? Hehe, I'm worried that they won't be able to bear the final result! "
Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
"Hahahaha. You brat! Then I'll wait for a good show! "
The Flame Emperor laughed loudly.
This caused a lot of confusion.
Ling Xiao, whom the Flame Emperor supported, was clearly about to lose. Why was the Flame Emperor laughing so happily?
Why?
At this moment, the Punishment Hall Master, the King of Fairness, who was in charge of hosting this event, appeared in the center of the square.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the power of the Punishment King Huang Jinding was.
The host of such a crucial event was actually his subordinate.
It was no wonder that people said that controlling the Punishment Hall was equivalent to controlling the entire Golden City.
If it weren't for the fact that the Punishment Hall Master was weaker than an Emperor, he would have rebelled long ago.
The moment the King of Fairness appeared, the restless crowd stopped.
No one dared to make a sound, and they all quietly listened to him speak.
After a bunch of nonsense opening remarks, the King of Fairness finally went straight to the point.
"Then, the grandest competition of the Golden Sky Region will now begin!
Everyone also noticed that there was a ballot box in front of each of the six candidates.
Whoever the judges support, vote in the ballot box in front of the candidate.
Of course, there is one more thing to note. Every time you vote, you must explain the reason for voting.
Otherwise, it won't count.
Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Everyone should be clear about what the Golden Sovereign means.
We have to choose a suitable ruler.
Not a bloodthirsty and cruel madman!
Every vote in your hands is incomparably sacred. Don't take it lightly.
This is related to the future of Golden City and the well-being of hundreds of millions of martial artists.
When voting, please touch your conscience.
Is this vote right for the Emperor, right for your family, and right for the thousands of heroic spirits? "
At this point, he looked at Ling Xiao without hiding anything: "If some vicious person ascends to the position of Golden Sovereign.
Not only will it cause internal strife in Golden City.
It might even ruin your illustrious reputation. "
"You're just a host, aren't you talking too much nonsense?
From what you're saying, it seems that the Golden Sovereign is not from your King's Mansion or Punishment Hall, and you're planning to rebel? "
Others didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that Ling Xiao didn't dare.
Since the other party had already made it clear, what was he afraid of?
"Shut up!"
The King of Punishment shouted sternly, and his violent voice was like a heavy hammer smashing towards Ling Xiao.
However, it was easily resolved by the Fire King.
"Hehe, the King of Punishment is so powerful. I even suspect that the people who voted for the King of Many Treasures were threatened by you.
Just now, the King of Fairness said it well. When voting, touch your conscience. Don't make a decision that will let down your ancestors and the Golden City.
You'll go to hell. "
Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
He easily resolved the pressure brought by the King of Fairness's words on the voters.
One must know that when the King of Fairness said that, many of the judges were actually a little intimidated.
Especially those with a lower cultivation base.
Among the judges, at least one-third of them had to be Divine Core warriors.
There were more than 30 of them.
"Alright, the voting has begun. Stop arguing!"
The Flower Queen finally came out to be the peacemaker again.
Ling Xiao gave her face, and so did the King of Punishment.
Therefore, the argument stopped for now.
The first one to come out was the judge from the Punishment Hall.
These 100 judges were numbered as well. Because they had to explain the reason for voting, they could only come out one by one.
They couldn't all come out together.
