Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 231 - 181: Fight to the Death

"Our Dugu Family supports Chief Steward Jin in taking on the role of the new Celestial Treasure Tower Master!"

Once the words of the palace-dressed beauty fell:

The two major forces affiliated under the Dugu Family, the Patriarch of the Changshan Yin Family and the Alliance Leader of the Nanshan Alliance, also raised their hands together.

Out of fifteen votes, the Lingyang Sect had already secured nine, the outcome was decided.

"Dugu Jing, you?! "

Zhou Tianyi's eyebrows furrowed deeply, yet before he could speak, Elder Cen, seated behind him, couldn't help but stand up, his face a mix of shock and anger.

What is this?

Clearly in the Seven-Seated Conference, the representative of the Dugu Family was there with him, indignantly opposing Chief Steward Jin's ascendancy, yet turning around, Dugu Jing directly changed sides?!

How could there be such a coincidence? It was clearly a conspiracy between the two families, putting on an act for him and the Fuhai Sect, treating him like a fool!

"... Enough."

Zhou Tianyi stopped his accusations and swearing, taking a deep look at Dugu Jing with a somber tone:

"Things have come to this, saying more is of no use."

He turned to look at the representative of the Shanhe sect, the Law Enforcement Elder Lu Yuan wearing a white long robe, and inquired:

"Elder Lu Yuan, what is your stance?"

"If there are no objections, we shall proceed to the shareholder vote."

In this stage, Shanhe sect's opinion was already insignificant; Zhou Tianyi's implicit meaning was a veiled reminder of the stance to be taken.

Under normal circumstances:

If Lingyang Sect and the Dugu Family joined forces, then the Fuhai Sect and Shanhe sect, to counter the alliance, must band together, otherwise maintaining balance would be difficult.

As long as both parties joined forces, there was still a chance in the shareholder vote, and even if they lost, they could still play some extraneous tricks.

"..."

Lu Yuan glanced at him silently.

Zhou Tianyi's heart sank, suddenly feeling a very ominous premonition, staring intently at Lu Yuan across him.

"Our Shanhe sect also supports Chief Steward Jin as the new Celestial Treasure Tower Master."

Lu Yuan's face was calm, and he slowly raised his hand—a brief sentence, yet it weighed a thousand pounds.

The conference hall was silent.

"This..."

The four Foundation Establishment powerhouses who declared neutrality, along with the Sect Leader of the Taihe Sect and the Du Men Zeng Clan, were all stunned.

A faint smile appeared on Chief Steward Jin's face, one of assured victory and confidence.

Lord Bai and Lord Liang exchanged glances, feeling a chill creeping over them—what was going on?

Shanhe sect actually also supported Jin? Would that not mean Lingyang Sect, the Gudu family, and Shanhe sect united against the Fuhai Sect?!

"Not good!"

Zhang Yao's pupils contracted, sensing the turbulent atmosphere, the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman in his sleeve slipping down, secretly tucked into his palm.

At this moment, he was only grateful for his caution, bringing with him the incompletely re-refined Five Spirits Divine General Talisman, thus not losing his strongest weapon.

"Crash... "

Zhou Tianyi stood up in disarray, almost knocking over the case in front of him, exclaiming angrily:

"You... you, what do you mean by this?"

While angrily questioning and trying to buy time, he was urgently calling out in his heart:

"Master! Master!!"

After Shanhe sect expressed its position, the true purpose of the Celestial Treasure Conference became clear—it was a conspiracy against Fuhai Sect!

Though it was unknown how Lingyang Sect and the other three families joined forces, the situation was extremely dangerous for him and Fuhai Sect!

"Watch out!"

Wanchuan Ancestor's aged voice abruptly erupted in his mind, carrying a hint of panic:

"Run quickly! Return to the sect first..."

His words were cut off abruptly, evidently suppressed by the Divine Thought traveling from far away.

There was no doubt that it was the combined action of several other Golden Core Ancestors, their hostility now unmistakable!

"Sect Leader Zhou, you need not think of delaying anymore."

Chief Steward Jin laughed openly, rising with calmness, speaking aloud:

"If you surrender, I might leave you some dignity!"

Lu Yuan, Dugu Jing, and others also stood in unison beside Chief Steward Jin.

"Well, well, well!"

Zhou Tianyi's anger turned into laughter, his gaze sweeping over Jin and the others, speaking coldly:

"So it seems you had long conspired, seeking Zhou Mou's life?!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

At this moment, he was calm to the extreme, only belatedly realizing:

Aside from he himself, the Sect Leader of the Fuhai Sect, personally arriving, Lingyang Sect, the Dugu Family, and Shanhe sect, only dispatched their chief stewards or elders, clearly colluding against them, preventing them from desperate measures.

But realizing this now was obviously too late, the situation had deteriorated irreparably, he had already resigned himself to the thought of death.

"Heh heh..."

Elder Xuan Yi in a black robe stroked his goatee, chuckling:

"Sect Leader Zhou, what we want is not just your life!"

"Among those present, apart from you, there are leaders from Dongliu Alliance, Haihe Association, and Yuan Mountain Bai Clan. Once you are eliminated, the three families will be leaderless, caught off guard, easily broken!"

"Destroying your three families is equivalent to severing Fuhai Sect's arms; although Floating Island on the Sky is a millennial heritage as a mobile sect, with all external connections cut off, it would only be a matter of time before it is breached!"

At this moment, all schemes were unveiled.

The title of the Celestial Treasure Conference was indeed useful, enough to relax vigilance, resulting in negligence, leading several influential figures to easily fall into a trap.

The so-called election of a new Tower Master, the dispute at the Seven-Seated Conference, was from start to finish no more than a drama to lure them into a trap.

"Clap, clap, clap!"
