Chapter 1297 - The Limelight
"Cough cough, pardon me, there was a mistake. It should be the three remaining spots."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d uttered a cough when he realized something, before speaking in a slightly awkward tone.
The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d beside him rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"I think our Flame Tribe should take two of the three remaining spots for Martial Monarch Tongxuan and Martial Monarch Wenyan. Although they are absent, I believe everyone is clearly aware of their strength?"
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch cast a challenging look at Martial Monarch Guiwu and his crew.
Martial Monarch Guiwu, the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch, and the Illusionist Martial Monarch held their breaths. They had initially planned to disagree with it, but when they heard the names, they had no idea how to refute it.
Martial Monarch Tongxuan and Martial Monarch Wenyan were both Supreme Elders of the Flame Tribe, whose cultivations had reached the ninth-layer Martial Monarch Realm. They were also ranked in the top one thousand on the G.o.d Ranking.
"Our Blood Tribe isn"t asking for much. We"re hoping to let Martial Monarch Xueli from our tribe serve in the role."
The old man from the Blood Tribe said.
The Martial Monarch Xueli he had mentioned was also a Supreme Elder of the Blood Tribe, ranked in the top one thousand on the G.o.d Ranking. His cultivation had also reached the ninth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, not any weaker than Martial Monarch Tongxuan and Martial Monarch Wenyan.
"What a surprise, the Lightning Tribe has the same thoughts as the Flame Tribe. We too hope that our two other Supreme Elders will be given the role of Vice Hall Leader."
The Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch took a sip from a cup of tea as he spoke.
Even though he was quite close to the Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, for the sake of the Lightning Tribe, he would not compromise easily.
"HAHA, forgive me for being blunt, but the people of the Lightning Tribe are relatively hot-tempered. I don"t believe they are the best candidates for the role."
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch burst out laughing as he launched his attack.
"Brother Qilin Flame, that"s not entirely true. The people of the Lightning Tribe might have a fast temper, but those who are worthy to become Supreme Elders surely have great control over their emotions. Besides, your Flame Tribe..."
The Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch returned the favor without backing down.
Martial Monarch Guiwu and the rest on his side opened their mouths, but they could not find any words. Their hearts felt miserable.
They had to admit that their strengths were too weak compared to the authorities of the three ancient tribes.
Even though the Flame Tribe and Lightning Tribe were competing for the spots, it went without saying that the last three spots would belong to the three ancient tribes.
As such, nine among the ten Vice Hall Leaders would be taken by the three ancient tribes.
"After hearing your suggestions, the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d and I have both come to a conclusion about who will take the last three spots."
After a lengthy time, the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d spoke once again. The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch and the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch immediately fell silent and turned their heads to him.
The rest of the Martial Monarchs immediately s.h.i.+fted their focus to the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d.
Obviously, everyone was concerned about the final pick for the last three Vice Hall Leaders.
"The eighth Vice Hall Leader will be Martial Monarch Tongxuan from the Flame Tribe."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d said calmly.
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch wore a grin as he heard the announcement, totally not surprised by it.
"The ninth Vice Hall Leader will be given to the Supreme Elder of the Lightning Tribe."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d continued.
The Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch emptied the cup of tea when he heard this.
"As for the tenth Vice Hall Leader..."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d paused slightly, as if intentionally.
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch and the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch"s eyes glistened, who clenched their fists imperceptibly. The eyes of the old man from the Blood Tribe emitted a crimson glow too.
The final spot was incredibly important to them, as it would result in a significant impact on the status of their tribe in Anti-Heaven Alliance.
At that instant, the atmosphere in the palace significantly intensified, as if several G.o.dly mountains from the ancient era were pressing down on them.
If a peak Martial Progenitor were standing in the palace, the pressure alone was enough to inflict damage to the cultivator.
"Qin Nan will still attend the role of Vice hall Leader."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d glanced at Qin Nan with a smile.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan who had been enjoying the show was stunned by the words.
Even he did not expect the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d would let him take the final spot.
"Qin...Qin Nan?"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch, the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others felt a thunderclap in their hearts.
"Qin Nan of the Anti-Heaven Alliance?"
"Him?"
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch, the old man from the Blood Tribe, and the rest of the Martial Monarchs from the three ancient tribes were startled. They subconsciously glanced at Qin Nan, and after taking a closer look, their faces were filled with disbelief!
This was to such an extent that they could not believe their ears!
Were they being serious?
They were giving the tenth spot to an insignificant Martial Progenitor instead of a Supreme Elder from their tribe?
Was this some kind of a joke?
"Qin Nan? Hang on a second, are you the one from the Middle Continent, who was marked as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Gate, surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation, and has seven Martial Trees? That Qin Nan?"
The Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch wore an astounded look as he suddenly realized something.
"It"s that Qin Nan?"
The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the old man from the Blood Tribe, and the other Martial Monarchs were stunned too. They never thought the Qin Nan who had stirred such great chaos in the Canglan Continent in the past would be standing right in front of them.
"HAHA, so you"ve only realized the kid"s ident.i.ty now."
"The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d and I have agreed to a.s.sign Qin Nan as the tenth Vice Hall Leader, since he will be leading the younger generation of the Anti-Heaven Alliance."
"I believe he"s the most suitable with his strength?"
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d burst into laughter as he asked the crowd.
"If everyone has nothing else to say, that will be the final decision for the ten Vice Hall Leaders. From today onward, any important plans or discussions in the Anti-Heaven Alliance will be done by..."
The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d who had remained silent throughout the meeting calmly said.
However, before he could finish, a shout suddenly could be heard.
"Wait, Senior Sword G.o.d, I"ve something to say."
The person speaking was none other than the Flame Tribe"s Young Master, the Qilin Flame Martial Monarch.
