When the negative votes exceeded the positive votes, the expressions of Xia Jiulong and the three deans turned ugly. This wasn't a simple vote, but a contest between the Eastern and Western Sacred Grounds! The final result wasn't Ye Qinghan's personal victory or defeat, but the face of the Sky Reaching Church and the Holy Empire!
To the Sacred Grounds, if they lost, they couldn't lose face. If they lost, they couldn't lose appeal!
Xia Jiulong and the three deans looked at the other Sacred Grounds that hadn't expressed their stance yet, hoping to gain their support.
Hell, War Race, these were independent Sacred Grounds. They were extremely powerful, and their stance was extremely important. Their stance wouldn't be influenced by anyone, and once they expressed their stance, three to four Sacred Grounds that were on good terms with them would vote the same way!
Ye Qinghan looked at Mo Zi. He was the leader of Hell's Sacred Grounds this time. Although he had an agreement with Mo Zi, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Mo Zi's current stance was hard to predict. At least, he didn't immediately express his support for Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan's heart was burning with anxiety, but he remained calm on the surface. The current stance of the Sacred Grounds wasn't something he could control.
The War Race also didn't express their stance. The leader of the War Race was an old man. He looked ordinary and reserved, but his bones were filled with soaring battle intent. As an upper level Martial Saint, once he made his move, it would definitely be earth-shattering! He was the son of the War Race's War Lord, and the youngest one was called Zhan Kuang.
Zhan Kuang looked at Ye Qinghan with a faint smile on his face. He was smart enough to wait for Ye Qinghan to ask for his help.
"A person that can make Xia Jiulong and the three deans express their support must be extraordinary. A few hundred years ago, he defeated Arthur Shen in three moves with his ninth level World Overlord cultivation. Now, he has reached the peak of the lower level World Overlord realm. Such talent is truly terrifying. If he enters the secret realm, he might have a fatal impact on the battle." Zhan Kuang looked like a martial artist, but as someone who could cultivate to the upper level World Overlord realm, his intelligence wasn't something ordinary people could compare to. At this moment, he had the absolute advantage!
Mo Zi was also thinking. Now that Ye Qinghan had the support of the Transcending Heaven Cult and the Holy Empire, he must have paid a corresponding price. The only treasure that could move the two Holy Lands was the Fairy Elixir!
Ye Qinghan, Zhan Kuang, and Mo Zi exchanged glances. The three of them had strange expressions on their faces. Ye Qinghan couldn't transmit his voice because if he did, those upper level cultivators would easily intercept his voice transmission. The secret would no longer be a secret.
Ye Qinghan pondered for a moment. Then, he crossed his arms and tapped his chest with a finger on his right hand, gesturing to Zhan Kuang and Mo Zi.
Mo Zi and Zhan Kuang were stunned. This action was clearly a hint. It was just that they weren't sure what this' one 'represented.
Ye Qinghan looked at their stunned expressions and couldn't help but feel a little speechless. They couldn't even understand such an obvious hint!
"Nine …"
Ye Qinghan's back was facing the crowd. Facing the two Supremes, he silently uttered the word 'nine'. Then, he gestured with his finger. Nine Eternal Pills, one for each of them!
Mo Zi nodded and said, "This seat supports Ye Qinghan's entry into the Shrouding Heaven Secret Realm."
* Hua!! *
This was a heavyweight vote. It affected the attitude of a Holy Land attached to Hell. In an instant, Ye Qinghan received two more votes and rushed to the ninth vote, equalizing the score once again.
Now, it all depended on Zhan Kuang of the Battle Race. Once Zhan Kuang expressed his stance, the Xiahou Holy Land, sandwiched between the Battle Race and the Holy Empire, would definitely support him.
Ye Qinghan didn't want to wait any longer. He directly bowed and said, "Senior of the Battle Race, this junior had a preliminary contact with Zhan Jiuxiao of the Battle Race in the secret realm. Our relationship was very harmonious and we also reached a preliminary agreement. In addition, I found a jade pendant of the Battle Race somewhere in the secret realm. I found it on a corpse. Senior, please take a look."
After saying that, Ye Qinghan respectfully presented the jade pendant to Zhan Kuang.
Zhan Kuang looked at the jade pendant from afar. His pupils shrank and his iron fists clenched tightly. Flames burned in his eyes and his battle intent was no longer restrained. His aura soared into the sky, suppressing the surrounding experts so much that they didn't dare to speak.
"This is eighteenth brother's jade pendant. He had been missing for many years. So it turns out that he had entered the Shrouding Heaven Secret Realm and actually died there!" Zhan Kuang's face was ferocious as he roared, "Where is his corpse?"
"His flesh and blood have already rotted away, leaving behind only white bones. This junior didn't want to let his corpse lie in the wilderness, so I buried him." Ye Qinghan said solemnly.
Zhan Kuang looked at Ye Qinghan with a hint of emotion in his eyes. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Many thanks. This old man owes you a favor. Alright, I support you in entering the secret realm."
When the Xiahou Holy Land saw the Battle Race's stance, they also raised their hands in support of Ye Qinghan.
In the end, Ye Qinghan received eleven votes. However, there were twenty-two sacred grounds. If he wanted to enter, he needed at least twelve votes. He was still one vote short!
As for the other sacred grounds, Ye Qinghan didn't know a single one of them. They hadn't expressed their stance yet. This meant that they didn't care about the Holy Empire, Sky Piercing Sect, Blessed Buddha Temple, and Ouxi Sacred Ground. They were independent sacred grounds and needed to consider their own interests!
"Everyone, you must think carefully. One more person entering means one more change. This person is meticulous and his cultivation is not bad. He is enough to pose a threat to the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. If you let him in, you'll be giving up on the immortal herb!" Ouxi Sacred Ground's Astor warned in a cold voice.
This warning had great destructive power. The other sacred grounds who were still hesitating instantly expressed their stance.
"The Guiyuan Sacred Ground opposes Ye Qinghan entering the secret realm!"
"The Immortal Spirit Sacred Ground opposes!"
"The Extreme Emperor Bloodline opposes!"
The three sacred grounds expressed their stance, once again leveling the opposition. The chances of Ye Qinghan entering the secret realm again were almost zero!
Currently, only twenty-two sacred grounds had expressed their stance. Less than half of them had expressed their stance.
Xia Jiulong, Wen Xu, and the others looked at each other with displeasure in their eyes!
Ye Qinghan, however, smiled coolly. He turned to Wen Xu and said respectfully, "Senior, I wonder if you could have the Left Sentinel of the Sky Demon Cult, Lord Fashen and Demon Sovereign express their stance?"
Although the Sky Demon Cult's Saint had been missing for many years, everyone knew that the Sky Demon Cult was a sacred ground! And since it was a sacred ground, it naturally had the right to vote!
"Nonsense! The Sky Demon Cult exists in name only, and the Sky Demon Cult's Saint has been missing for who knows how many years. The Sky Demon Cult is no longer a sacred ground, and even if it was, it wouldn't be Lord Fashen and Demon Sovereign's turn to represent it! "Ouxi Sacred Ground's Astor promptly rebuked.
"You mean … the Sky Demon Cult is dead? That the supreme Saint of the Sky Demon Cult has been destroyed? "Xia Jiulong's eyes were brimming with a smile, but his expression remained cold as he questioned indifferently.
The three deans of the Sky Reaching Cult looked at each other and nodded. The Nine Extremes Daoist was gone in a flash, directly bringing the sealed Lord Fashen and Demon Sovereign before the crowd, breaking the seal on him with a wave of his hand.
The Lord Fashen had been paying attention to what was happening, and his eyes were now filled with cold flames as he glared at Astor. "Astor, the Sky Demon Cult almost broke into your lair all those years ago. Are you provoking us now?"
