Chapter 846: Chapter 60 Senior Brother Only Recognizes Money [Combined Two in One]_3

The base votes for these families are all solid and unshakeable; needless to say for the Starry Sky lineage, Thunder Fortress has been relying on Penglai’s breath for years and will naturally follow the Eastern Sea lineage as well.

"Yu Mountain Academy should be followed by Ascending Dragon Academy and Scholar’s Academy, and there should also be a Nanyin Square," Chu Liang added.

Nanyin Square and Scholar’s Academy, both situated in Jiangnan, have always had an extremely good relationship.

However, the reason he knew Nanyin Square would vote for Confucian Cultivation was because a few days ago, the Nanyin Square Master had specifically sent someone to Shu Mountain to inquire.

While the other families had been vigorously canvassing for votes in private, Shu Mountain had been silent as if nothing had happened. But Nanyin Square had received Chu Liang’s help in Fuyao Country and had also given him a Windback Instrument, and it was now time to repay the favor.

Yan Yingluo had specially sent someone to Shu Mountain to ask whether their vote was needed for the Talisman Sect? If needed, they would unhesitatingly stand with Shu Mountain. If not needed, they would go along with Scholar’s Academy, which had been earnestly canvassing for votes.

The answer Chu Liang gave was that it was truly unnecessary.

Completely unnecessary.

While the entire world was canvassing for votes, Chu Liang was the only one pushing votes away.

Counting the Imperial Court’s vote and the existing Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, there were a total of nineteen votes. The purpose of the Talisman Sect’s existence was to make Shu Mountain discard its own vote, leaving four swing votes from Heavenly Gang Sect, Yunque Temple, Four Seas Whale Guild, and Sanjue Valley.

The Heavenly Gang Sect and Yunque Temple were excluded from the competition due to their supported sects being taken out at the last minute; there probably weren’t many people courting their votes. Four Seas Whale Guild and Sanjue Valley hadn’t participated in this matter at all and were probably harassed to exhaustion during these days.

"Currently, most families basically hold three base votes each, very close to each other, and none particularly high," Chu Liang said. "Who can succeed, these four swing votes are crucial."

...

Atop a snowy mountain peak.

Clad in white, a young boy stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast horizon with a calm smile on his face.

Twelve years old is an age of rapid growth; since leaving Shu Mountain, Chu Yi had grown taller, and his figure was now somewhat slender.

Following him was Li Jiantong, with a stern expression on his face.

"Is all this within your calculations?" Li Jiantong finally spoke up, "By defeating Xuan Tian Temple, Chonglou Temple will firmly stand by our side. And Ice Soul Sword Sect has lost favor with the rest of the Immortal Sects, leaving them hopeless even if they haven’t withdrawn. Under such circumstances, Endless Sword Sect and Lunar Sect are also willing to accept a deal and come to support us."

"Take one step, ponder three ahead; that’s the bare minimum," Chu Yi smiled and said. "Everything has discernible traces."

The youth’s eyes were clear and bright, as if there was nothing in the world he could not see through.

"Chu Liang didn’t attend the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands convention, and today is the inauguration feast for the Iron Eating Beast Zone at Silver Sword Peak; he is at home hosting a banquet for the Iron Eating Beasts," Li Jiantong continued.

"..." Chu Yi’s brows noticeably furrowed momentarily.

That he truly could not see through.

After a moment of silence, he then said, "I have thought about it for a long time; with Senior Brother’s personality, could it be possible that he never wanted to push the Talisman Sect for election? Perhaps he was just overwhelmed by too many people canvassing for votes and couldn’t refuse out of personal obligation, so he set up a token candidate to waste his own vote, thus offending no one? Otherwise, why would he be completely inactive? That is not his style."

"This..." Li Jiantong also frowned and said. "It shouldn’t be, right? The Ten Lands election could be a major event affecting the Mortal Realm’s pattern for hundreds of years to come; how could it be taken lightly like child’s play?"

"If it were someone else, they might care about the Four Seas and Nine Continents, the pattern of the Mortal Realm, but Senior Brother... he might not care," Chu Yi said more and more convinced, looking in the direction of Shu Mountain, slowly continuing, "Senior Brother only cares about money."
