Chapter 261: Mo Wuji’s Speech (2/2)
Mo Wuji waved his hand, ”I’ll continue answering the third question. The cultivators that died defending our land from the alien invaders, their bodies can be found everywhere, in every corner. Even though I was rank 1 on the Contribution Points Board, but I believe that after I die, I will end up like those heroes that fell, with my body scattered all over in the wilderness, enduring the bitter cold day and night… Yes, my heart is stone cold, and I plead to the leaders of the Hundred Sect Alliance, please gather the remains of these hot blooded men that passed away, and bury them on the Lost Continent’s battlefield, then erect a large memorial stone for them, so that we may always remember, respect, and take them as examples. When alien cultivators invade again, there will be more comrades that give their life to defend this land. That’s all I have to say for today. Thank you my friends!”
The inside and outside of the plaza became silent again. If no one brought it up, everyone would have thought that cultivators dying in battle was very natural, and only those brothers who knew the dead would bring their remains away. No one felt that his arrangement was inappropriate, regardless whether it were cultivators or sects.
Now that Mo Wuji said all these things, the people that were listening only then knew of how lonely those cultivators that died in battle were. To them, this was very unfair.
Even Jiang Xiushan, who had been unhappy with Mo Wuji all this while, could not help but admit that Mo Wuji was right. His dissatisfaction with Mo Wuji had nothing to do with whether he agreed or disagreed with what Mo Wuji said.In the fight to repel alien cultivators, he, Jiang Xiushan, was also ready to give up his life.
After a long while, small bouts of shouting broke out all over the plaza, and without exception, all were asking for Mo Wuji to become the Alliance head of the Hundred Sect Alliance.
Jiang Xiushan could not step out, and Feng Zhenqiu knew that he couldn’t do so at this moment either. He walked to where Mo Wuji was, and said, ”Everyone keep quiet.”
Feng Zhenqiu was a True God Stage expert, so even without the sound amplifying array, what he considered to be speaking softly would shock the rest of the cultivators on the plaza.
Indeed, after Feng Zhenqiu spoke, all of the cultivators on the plaza quietened down.
Then, Feng Zhenqiu spoke in a clear voice, ”Sect Head Mo was once a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, but I won’t be saying anything that goes against my conscience just based on that fact. I agree with what Sect Head Mo said just now. Since our cultivation culture is rather backwards, once alien cultivators invade our land, all the more we have to band together to face them. Therefore, I would like to decide on behalf of the Hundred Sect Alliance, to erect a memorial stone outside of Yan City. On it, the name of every cultivator that perished in the war will be carved, even those without names, we will use their rogue cultivator numbers to remember them.”
Enthusiastic applause rang out, and Feng Zhenqiu’s words were met with warm acceptance.
After the cheering died down, Feng Zhenqiu carried on, ”I agree with everyone’s suggestion regarding the second matter, but allowing Sect head Mo to become the leader of the Hundred Sect Alliance is not up to me. We need all of the sects to vote on this.”
Once he was done addressing the crowd, Feng Zhenqiu turned towards the sect heads sitting on the conference altar and said, ”Everyone here, I believe you just heard Sect Head Mo’s words, and how all the cultivators in the Five Elements Desolate Domain reacted to it. I’m not sure what everyone thinks about Sect Head Mo becoming the Hundred Sect Alliance’s Head? Let’s do it this way, all those who are in support of Sect Head Mo becoming the Alliance head, please stand up. Those who don’t support him need not stand up.”
After Feng Zhenqiu finished speaking, all of the people in the plaza looked to the heads of the various sects.
Democracy did not really exist here, and even if all of the people in the plaza wanted Mo Wuji to become the Hundred Sect Alliance’s Alliance Head, it would still require the various sects to stand up to express their thoughts on this.
”Formless Blade Sect agrees,” The first person to stand up was actually the Formless Blade Sect Sect Head, Gu Ran, who sat in the last few rows.
”Heavenly Drug Sect agrees,” The next person that stood up was completely unexpected person: the Heavenly Drug Sect Sect Head that sat at the center of the altar, who had retorted Mo Wuji previously.
”Hundred Net Sect agrees!”
”Immortal Retaining Castle agrees!”
