Chapter 721: Long Haochen’s lucky encounter (III)
Chen Zidian nodded. Out of the Six Great Temples, three were on their side and one neutral, so there was no need to even ask the Mage Temple to come to a conclusion. However, out of respect for the Mage Temple, Chen Zidian looked at Li Zhengzhi with an inquiring gaze.
Li Zhengzhi remained very calm, as if no longer affected by the gloom of his Mage Temple receiving the fourth position in the domain battle.
“Chief referee, comrades. First of all, I agree with your previous statements. Although Bright Glimmer of Hope used some tricks in this domain battle, they managed it with their strength. Without the extraordinariness of Long Haochen’s Light God Domain, they couldn’t possibly have achieved this much. Even if they hadn’t united with the Priest Temple, they could very possibly have still ended as the final victors. So, there is no need to dwell any longer on this matter.”
Seeing Li Zhengzhi so easily let go of the opportunity of making things hard for Bright Glimmer of Hope, Long Tianying couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock.
“Other than that, I have a suggestion.” Li Zhengzhi continued, “The competition having reached so far, there won’t be a big change to the final rankings anymore. So, I believe that there is no longer need to conduct the final team battle. The team battle involving so many people, and furthermore allowing the use of equipment, it would very easily result in accidental injuries. This Temples’ Great Gathering should just end with the current rankings.”
“Although the Temples’ Great Gathering is an important matter taking place once every ten years, it is also bound to catch demonkin’s attention. All of us are peak powerhouses of our Temples, so saving as much time as possible would be the best. So I believe that the most important matter that follows should be to get the Alliance ready, and make preparations for the future counterattack against demonkind.”
Li Zhengzhi’s speech did not merely shock everyone present. Li Zhengzhi’s statement implied that the Mage Temple was renouncing on their struggle in this Temples’ Great Gathering. Even Long Tianying who did not like him much could but nod in silence. So! this Li Zhengzhi still knows which things to prioritize.
Chen Zidian nodded, “The Temples’ Great Gathering is a symbolic event of once every ten years. Lessening the number of stages must be out of all the Temples’ agreement. Please lift your hand, all those who agree about shifting the end of the gathering ahead of time?”
The calm looking Li Zhengzhi was the first one to lift his hand. Immediately next, the Knight Temple and Bright Glimmer of Hope followed by lifting their own hand’s. This situation was really the most ideal one in their eyes.
The head of the Warrior Temple Qiu Yonghao gave Li Zhengzhi a glance, lifting his hand, he was filled with secret admiration toward Li Zhengzhi. Knowing when to bow was really an admirable quality.
Sheng Yue also lifted his glance, full of appreciation toward Long Haochen and Cai’er. Finally, these two youngsters stood at the peak of humankind.
On the side of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao and Ling Lao naturally showed no opposition. They had at the present time achieved the third rank, an unprecented score for the Priest Temple. If one party was the most willing to conclude the competition at that point, that would no doubt be them.
Only one hand was not lifted, and now the only party left was the Spiritual Temple. All gazes gathered onto Chen Hongyu. Although a tough old man, his scheming heart was rarely surpassed. No matter how unwilling he was to see the Spiritual Temple achieve fifth, he had to follow suit, for the sake of maneuvering for the standing of the Spiritual Temple in the new Alliance.
During the vote, Chen Hongyu seemed to mutter words in a very low voice, voluntarily for Sheng Yue to hear them, “At least we have more points than some others. Not too bad I guess.”
This time Sheng Yue didn’t pay attention. Carrying a smile on his face, he had a calm and easy going look.
Seeing everyone accept Li Zhengzhi’s proposal, Chen Zidian nodded, “Alright. In that case, I, chief referee, announce the end of the Temples’ Great Gathering. The rankings are such, number one Bright Glimmer of Hope, number two, Priest Temple, number three, Knight Temple, number four, Mage Temple, number five, Spiritual Temple, number six, Assassin Temple, and number seven, Warrior Temple.”
“Tomorrow morning, the Six Great Temples and Bright Glimmer of Hope’s representatives shall convene in a meeting to discuss the matters of the new Alliance.”
“Yes.” Everyone bowed at the same time, bowing to Chen Zidian. No one could deny that this legendary character was the most fitting chief referee that they could have.
The Temples’ Great Gathering was terminated early after three stages. One could say that this was a really unexpected thing. In the eyes of the later generation, this instance of the gathering was really drawing the start of an unmatched era in History.
Li Zhengzhi carried a faint smile on his face, as he walked to face Long Haochen extending his hand in front of him, “Congratulations, Haochen.”
Long Haochen gave a sincere response, “Thank you. Be at ease, I won’t disappoint you.”
Li Zhengzhi returned the smile, “I will be waiting for that day you will have a Divine Throne at your side.” The congratulations he gave Long Haochen also meant taht Li Zhengzhi was abandoning the struggle for the new Alliance’s leadership. Without this greatest rival they had, the rest would go much easier.
