Since Chen Siqi couldn't help but let the cat out of the bag, all the cultivators present knew that Jiang Yuer and Chen Siqi must have reached some secret agreement, which triggered everyone's endless imagination.
Chen Siqi also realized her own loss of composure. She had previously communicated with Jiang Yuer using her spiritual sense, and now she suddenly spoke like a psychopath. In order to hide her embarrassment, she fiercely shouted at a young man who looked like he was of a distinguished status, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig your eyeballs out!"
The young man who was threatened by Chen Siqi became angry immediately. Although his family was not as powerful as the six major forces, it also belonged to the first echelon of the Qiongzu Universe. He even had a Hongmeng Rank 2 protector. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
However, thinking of the vivid scene of Ji Haoxuan being humiliated, the anger in the young man's heart disappeared instantly, and he changed his attitude in the blink of an eye. He smiled awkwardly at Chen Siqi, bowed and apologized. If you can't afford to provoke, can't you just avoid her?
Although he used to be a person who looked down on everyone in his territory, what kind of place is this? This is where the top young cultivators from the entire Qiongzu Universe gather. It is not his turn to act arrogantly. Didn't you see that Ji Haoxuan has retreated? It's not shameful to admit defeat, right?
Human nature is so strange, especially those high-ranking figures, who often fight for face. Now that he has Ji Haoxuan as a big shot, is this young man still afraid of losing face? Since his face will not be damaged, he naturally has no reason to risk confronting Chen Siqi.
When the others saw Chen Siqi getting angry, they immediately restrained their attitudes, as if nothing had happened.
However, Jiang Yuer was a little anxious when she saw this. If she wanted to run for the Palace Master, she had to rely on the votes of the cultivators. Chen Siqi's strong attitude might have a negative impact on her vote-grabbing, so she quickly explained to everyone, "My fellow Palace Masters, Senior's actions just now were unintentional. Please don't take it to heart. Senior Siqi is an old man in our Lingxiao Palace. He has always treated our Palace Masters with kindness. He has never bullied the weak Palace Masters with his own strength. He is also very righteous in dealing with people and things. He actively participates in everything in the Palace. I'm sure many old Palace Masters know this very well."
Chen Siqi was a little unhappy when she heard this. Doesn't this mean that she is an honest person? When she was about to refute, Jiang Yuer quickly grabbed her and said to her, "Senior, don't be impulsive. Just think of it as helping me. The position of Palace Master is really important to me."
After hearing this, Chen Siqi thought again that if she wanted to get the 700 trillion, Jiang Yuer had to be elected as the hall master, so she had to give up and accepted the hat of this honest man.
But seeing that Jiang Yu'er still looked worried, Chen Siqi couldn't help but said, "Xiao Jiang, don't worry, I can guarantee that these people present are not to be feared, and none of them can become the Palace Master."
Jiang Yuer was moved by Chen Siqi's confident look, and asked Chen Siqi calmly, "Senior, do you have any other tricks?"
In Jiang Yuer's opinion, since Chen Siqi was able to be promoted to the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm before she was 10 billion years old, she must have her extraordinary qualities and could not be the kind of person who makes a random statement. Moreover, Chen Siqi and her brother Li Mu were the earliest members of the Lingxiao Palace, so there must be a reason why she could say such things.
Chen Siqi looked mysterious and smiled, "It's a secret. Just keep it to yourself."
Jiang Yuer nodded when she heard this. Since Chen Siqi didn't say anything, she didn't ask. Since she had chosen to entrust her future to Chen Siqi, she only needed to do her own thing. As for whether Chen Siqi had any backup plan, was it important? If there was a backup plan, it would be the best. If not, she would not lose anything.
The most important thing is that her position as the palace master is now related to whether Chen Siqi can get the huge sum of 700 trillion yuan. I believe Chen Siqi will not joke about this.
In fact, Jiang Yuer was really overthinking. She thought that since Chen Siqi said "none of the people present can become the palace master", then the position of palace master would be hers. Little did she know that the "people present" mentioned by Chen Siqi also included Jiang Yuer.
Lingxiao Palace is one of the keys for Li Mu to fight against the six major forces. How could he possibly hand over the position of Palace Master to someone else?
The slogans shouted before are just means to attract people to join Lingxiao Palace. Just listen for fun.
"Ahem!" Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Hong coughed lightly, then waved his hand, and rows of huge screens appeared in the center of the venue. Each screen represented a branch of Lingxiao Palace in Changfeng Domain.
At this time, people from each branch hall have gathered in their respective branch halls, and each branch hall has started the live broadcast mode.
After all the branch halls were connected, Su Hong announced loudly: "As one of the founders of Lingxiao Hall, I declare that the first Lingxiao Hall election has officially begun. Those who are interested in running but have not registered can still register now. As long as you can get the support of half of the people in your branch hall, you can participate in the election of the hall master fairly."
As soon as Su Hong finished speaking, there was silence at the scene and in other branch halls. The six major forces had already divided up the people. It was simply a fantasy for others to get the support of half of the people in a branch hall. Even the few lucky few who got the support of some more remote branch halls and were eligible to run for hall master had already registered their names in the election list. How could the rest of the people meet the requirements?
Su Hong didn't care about the silence at this time. He smiled and said, "Since no one has signed up, I will be the last candidate to sign up for the election."
When Su Hong said this, the other cultivators did not feel anything wrong, but Ji Haoxuan and the others could not sit still. Ji Haoxuan was the first to attack Su Hong and shouted, "Su Hong, what do you mean?"
"Elder Haoxuan, is there any problem with my registration for the election?" Su Hong looked confused.
"Brother Su, didn't you already withdraw from the election? Now you're getting involved again. Isn't that inappropriate?" Pang Liang frowned.
Jiang Yuer, Yao Xiuqi, and Sun Ruxuan also looked displeased. It was obvious that they were not happy about this sudden appearance of an opponent. However, given their personalities, they could not say anything in front of so many people in the High Heaven Palace.
However, compared to Ji Haoxuan and others, the other dozens of candidates were much calmer. They participated in the election to serve as a foil. They could not compete with any of the candidates from the six major forces, so what did one more or one less matter to them?
"Haha, when did I say I would withdraw from the election? Before today, I had never signed up to run for the Palace Master, so how can I withdraw?" Su Hong smiled faintly, "I am a member of the Lingxiao Palace, and this is proof of support from the Haoyun City branch palace. I meet all the conditions for running for the election, so why can't I be a candidate?"
Su Hong took out a piece of gold foil and carved the names of tens of millions of cultivators on it. The names of those cultivators carved on it represented their support for Su Hong's candidacy. It was obvious that Su Hong had somehow managed to win the support of a remote branch temple without telling the people from other major forces.
