San Liang said calmly, "I'm sure everyone hasn't forgotten about the battle in the Cosmic Sea. It caused a lot of damage to the Cosmic Sea, and the main culprit was the Longevity Squadron. Mr. Right, as a member of the Longevity Squadron, you're naturally not suitable for the position of director."
Nan Yuan had not expected San Liang to target Mr. Right right from the start.
Mr. Right was even more surprised. "San Liang, you're just a newcomer. What right do you have to remove me?
How presumptuous. "
San Liang smiled. "Mr. Right is indeed a senior and entered the board earlier than me. However, entering is one thing, and whether or not you have the qualifications to become a director is another. Mr. Right, do you still remember your responsibilities as a director? Do you still remember the oath you made when you first joined the board?"
Mr. Right glared at San Liang. "Of course I remember."
San Liang raised his hand, and a screen appeared in the air. "This is a joint letter from the 28 islands in the Cosmic Sea. They wish to remove Mr. Right from his position as a director. In addition, there are nine other squadrons and Leon's Armada. They refuse to recognize Mr. Right as a representative of the Cosmic Sea. May I ask, how will you continue to be a director?"
Mr. Right's face turned pale. He had thought that he would be the first to remove Liu Ran, but he had not expected that he would be the first to be removed. How could this be?
Suddenly, he thought of Lu Yin, and his expression turned sinister. It had to be him. He was the one who had acted. Aside from him, no one else could have done this so quickly.
Mr. Right's guess was correct. It was indeed Lu Yin who had acted. He had started making arrangements on the way to the Realm Mountain.
Liu Ran's removal was unstoppable. This was the board's principle. Without Liu Ran, Mr. Right had one less person to speak for him in the board, so he had to make sure that the other side had one less person as well.
Mr. Right's removal was a matter of course, and this was also irreversible.
Leon's Armada now controlled more than half of the Cosmic Sea. As long as they did not recognize Mr. Right, it would be useless for Mr. Right to resist.
At the board, Nan Yuan's expression was gloomy. He had not expected that Liu Ran would not be removed, and his own side would lose one first.
Mr. Right represented the Cosmic Sea's interests in the Hall of Honor. If the Cosmic Sea did not recognize him, how could he represent them?
In an instant, Mr. Right lost all his strength.
Yang Ji glanced at San Liang and Old Man, Liu Ran. There were only a few people in the board. How many of them were Lu Yin's men?
How did this youth do it?
He could not figure.
The rumors were true. This kid had the support of Elder Chan. Otherwise, how could Elder Chan allow him to control the Board of Directors?
On Jie Mountain, Elder Chan looked at the meeting quietly with a complicated expression.
Ever since he had learned that Lu Yin was a member of the Lu family in the Starry Sky of the Trees, his attitude towards Lu Yin had changed somewhat. It wasn't that he hated Lu Yin, but rather that he didn't want Lu Yin to have too much power in the Fifth Mainland. He didn't want the Fifth Mainland to become enemies with the Starry Sky of the Trees, which wouldn't benefit the human race at all.
Ousting Liu Ran had given Nan Yuan his support, and this was the first step in targeting Lu Yin. Next, Ouyang Yuan would remove Old Man Bu, San Er, and the others, returning the Board of Governors to the Hall of Honor's control. He would also prevent Lu Yin from entering the Neoverse.
But now, it seemed that it wouldn't be that easy. She had been too lenient with Lu Yin in the past, and now, it would be very difficult to get rid of Lu Yin's people unless she explicitly stated that she wanted Lu Yin to withdraw from all of his authority in the Hall of Honor. However, doing so would be tantamount to falling out with Lu Yin.
He didn't care much about Lu Yin. Although this kid had a high chance of becoming a Progenitor, he didn't have the ability to threaten Elder Chan at the moment. Although this kid was ruthless and decisive, he had a bottom line. Even if he was forced to become an enemy, it wasn't impossible to resolve in the future.
However, Elder Chan cared about the people behind Lu Yin. Qing Ping was one, but more importantly, there was another.
When he thought of that person, Elder Chan sighed. He didn't have the courage to make an enemy out of that person. He couldn't see through that person, no matter what.
"Elder Chan." Behind him, Shangqing, Lei Nü, and Shu Jing walked out and bowed respectfully.
These people were the elites of the Hall of Honor's younger generation. They were the Hall of Honor's core members and represented the future of the organization. Shangqing, in particular, was a user of the three suns' ancestral qi. When she matured, she could become a peerless powerhouse like Progenitor Chen.
He alone was enough to suppress all of his peers in the Sixth Mainland.
"What do you all think of Lu Yin?" Elder Chan asked.
Shu Jing was surprised. Although they were core members, they were still too young to participate in the Hall of Honor's decisions. Why were they being asked about Lu Yin?
Suddenly, he realized something. Wasn't Lu Yin the same generation as them?
Too many things had happened, and Lu Yin's accomplishments had been too dazzling. Many people had forgotten that he was also a member of the younger generation and was currently one of the Ten Arbiters.
"Lu Yin is a paragon of our generation," Lei Nü answered succinctly. That was all there was to it.
Shu Jing pondered for a moment. "He's ambitious, but he's still acceptable. He's someone we can befriend, and he's contributed a lot to the human race. He'll be able to stand on the front lines against the Neohuman Alliance."
Elder Chan looked at Shangqing, as he cared about Shangqing's opinion the most.
Shangqing muttered to himself for a moment before meeting Elder Chan's gaze. "He saved my life in Burial Garden."
Elder Chan was shocked. "When?"
Lei Nü and Shu Jing were shocked as well. They didn't know about this, as Shangqing hadn't told anyone.
Shangqing calmly replied, "A few months ago, not long after Burial Garden opened, I was being chased by an Envoy. He was the one who saved me."
"Where's your Spiritvoid Umbrella?" Elder Chan hurriedly asked.
Shangqing replied, "It's still here."
Elder Chan relaxed. The Spiritvoid Umbrella was a Progenitor item that Shangqing had obtained from the Astral Tree Realm. It was quite powerful, and he had been afraid that Lu Yin had taken it away.
Actually, if he had known that Lu Yin was a descendant of the Astral Tree Realm's Lu family, he wouldn't have given him Mount Supreme. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it.
"You may leave." Elder Chan waved his hand.
Shangqing and the other two retreated.
Elder Chan looked back at the council's screen with a complicated expression. You saved Shangqing?
How should I treat you?
Risking the fate of the entire Fifth Mainland to help you fight against the Four Balances was irresponsible to the human race. What should I do?
Even Elder Chan himself was at a loss.
He thought of World Mountain's Chief and decided to ask him about it when he returned. This was the first time he was at a loss.
Regardless of what Elder Chan thought, the council continued as usual. Mister You had been removed from his position, and even if the Southern Boundary Council's director suggested delaying his removal, it was useless. The council voted on the spot. Xin Jiao, the three elders, San Liang, Old Bun, and Liu Ran all voted for Mister You's removal.
Although Liu Ran was about to be removed as well, he was still a director for the time being and had the right to cast a vote.
This made Nan Yuan grit his teeth in anger, as he had been one step too slow. If he had been one step faster and removed Liu Ran first, the votes would have been different. Even if Mister You was about to be removed, there would still be time for Nan Yuan to find a replacement. Nan Yuan had been one step too slow and had been caught unprepared.
Mister You trembled as he walked out of the council. From this day forth, he would have no status, and his only way out was to go to the Seven Courts' Xia family. After all, he was originally one of Xia Ji's clones, a subordinate of the Longevity Corps' commander, Ji Qiang.
Outside the council, Ye Wang looked at Mister You in surprise. "Why did Mister You come out?"
Mister You took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't let Lu Yin have an easy time. Please." He then bowed deeply.
Ye Wang was smart enough to guess what was going on.
It was only a matter of time before Mister You was removed from his position. Many people were certain of this, but Ye King hadn't expected Mister You to be removed from his position before he had even taken up the position. His fear of Lu Yin instantly increased.
Was this person here to remove Mister You from his position?
Ye Wang had a strange premonition.
At that moment, Lu Yin appeared.
Mister You looked at Lu Yin with a venomous gaze, but he didn't dare to show it. He lowered his head and walked off in another direction. He didn't want Lu Yin to see his venomous gaze, as he was afraid that he would be killed.
He didn't doubt that Lu Yin had the strength to kill him in the Glory Realm.
Lu Yin no longer cared about Mister You, as he didn't like to waste his breath on such a minor character. His gaze landed on Ye Wang, and he was rather surprised.
Ye Wang's appearance was too devilishly handsome, even more so than Yao Xuan's. He also looked younger than Lu Yin, which was something that Lu Yin couldn't imagine. There had never been a picture of Ye Wang on the internet.
There had been many speculations about Ye Wang, especially within Shamrock Enterprises, who claimed that he represented creation and healing. In any case, the rumors were very godly.
Today, Lu Yin met Ye Wang for the first time.
"Great Eastern Alliance, Alliance Master Lu." Ye Wang met Lu Yin's gaze and spoke in a gentle tone. There was a faint smile on his face, and he gave off a very pleasant vibe.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Shamrock Enterprises, Ye Wang."
"Long time no see, Alliance Master Lu." Ye Wang smiled. On the surface, Shamrock Enterprises and the Great Eastern Alliance seemed to be on good terms. Even though there had been the incident with Yu Mu, it had ended with Yu Mu's death.
Shamrock Enterprises had been providing assistance to the Great Eastern Alliance, and Qiong Xi'er and Balsam had been discussing the purchase of Astral Source Pills as well as researching immortality.
Lu Yin stepped forward. "I've heard of Ye Wang's name too many times, and I've always wanted to meet you in person."
Ye Wang was handsome and had a natural temperament. He seemed easy to get along with. "I heard from Balsam that Alliance Master Lu is very interested in immortality?"
"Yes, I've always wanted to research immortality, and I've even searched the universe for all sorts of strange plants to find the path to immortality." Lu Yin sighed.
Ye Wang smiled. "Immortality is too elusive. Perhaps only Progenitors can achieve immortality, but even among Progenitors, I've never heard of anyone achieving true immortality. Progenitor Chen, the Talisman Progenitor, and even the Astral Beast Domain's Progenitor Wushang, as well as the even more ancient Progenitors, have never been able to achieve true immortality."
"That's why I want to research it. Balsam suggested that I go to Shamrock Enterprises to research it. I wonder if Ye Wang would be interested?"
"Of course, it's Shamrock Enterprises' fortune to be able to research immortality with Alliance Master Lu."
"Then it's settled. Once this matter is settled, I'll definitely pay Shamrock Enterprises a visit," Lu Yin said politely.
The two chatted happily, but things were not as harmonious inside.
Although it was imperative to remove Liu Ran from office, San Liang and the others still tried to put up a fight. Even Nan Yuan found it difficult to suppress this fight, as the number of votes was similar.
Those who supported removing Liu Ran from office were Yang Ji, Nan Yuan, Si Hong, and Zijing. Those who did not support removing Liu Ran from office were Xin Jiao, the Three Elders, San Liang, and the Old Man.
