Yuan Gang was not referring to the end of the Military God Ranking, but the current stage.
"With you here, the Hall of Glory, and the representatives from the Zhenwu Division and the Imperial Guard, there's nothing to worry about," Ye Longlin said with a smile, holding Mu Hanqi's small hand, looking like they were in the throes of a passionate romance.
In fact, it was true. He and Mu Hanqi had completely entered the passionate phase. If it weren't for the mandatory attendance, he wouldn't even want to come.
Even if the forces of darkness appeared, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the people here. Did they really think this group of people were pushovers?
How many martial artists were present?
And how many beings above Martial Spirit?
There was no need to say much. If the forces of the Hall of Darkness dared to show up, they wouldn't dare to speak too much.
It was known that the people present were generals with rich combat experience. If they dared to come, not a single one would be able to leave alive.
"Alright, from now on, it's up to you."
Ye Longlin patted his shoulder and slowly spoke, a smile appearing on his lips.
He had seen Yuan Gang's performance during this period, and he had done quite well. Although there were still some shortcomings, these shortcomings could be compensated for with time and experience.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Contact me if anything comes up."
...
The matter of the Military God Ranking caused a great stir in Jinling and the capital. Since the Dragon Pavilion took the lead in organizing it, the capital naturally attracted more attention. After all, they had grown accustomed to the existence of the Dragon Pavilion and had never interfered in domestic affairs. No matter how serious the situation became, it could not involve the Dragon Pavilion.
However, this time, with the Dragon Pavilion taking the lead, did it signify a stance?
I don't interfere because I'm not interested. Now that I'm intervening, no one can object.
With this thought in mind, many people developed resistance towards Ye Longlin. Furthermore, the release of the Red Lotus Demoness by Xuan Niao had further displeased the higher-ups.
The Supreme Department and the Hall of Glory had deliberated for a long time without any announcement, but in fact, they had been discussing this matter for quite some time.
"Elder Murong, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
At the Hall of Glory, during a round table meeting, the Ten Elders convened.
Elder Murong was an old man with white hair and beard, appearing to be over ninety, but with good spirits, which was also due to him being a martial artist.
In the Hall of Glory, even a gatekeeper was a martial artist. Although their cultivation was not high, it was more than enough for them.
"Me? I'm watching from my seat,呵呵. After all, you don't believe in that child, but I do. Even though Xuan Niao did such a thing, I still believe it has nothing to do with the Ye family kid."
Elder Murong firmly stood by Ye Longlin's side. Back then, when Ye Guohui made his move, if it weren't for Ye Guohui, the Murong family might have only dominated Jinling locally. It was because of Ye Guohui that they were able to establish a foothold in the capital.
Since Ye Guohui was already dead, his child was undoubtedly the object of the Murong family's support.
It remained to be seen if Murong Yuze had the capability to stand at a height comparable to Ye.
"Hmph, I request Elder Murong to recuse himself from this matter."
"Ye Guohui saved the entire Murong family back then. Now that Ye Guohui's child has achieved such accomplishments, he is naturally a target of support for the Murong family. In the face of their grievances, Elder Murong has no way to remain absolutely rational!"
"I agree!"
"I object."
"I agree."
"I agree."
One elder after another raised their hands to vote. It was clear that due to this matter, they wanted to exclude the Murong family. This was obvious.
After the vote, the situation in the room became 4v4. The final decision rested with Elder Ye, who could defeat the other side by supporting either faction.
Elder Ye was not foolish. He chuckled and said, "I abstain."
If he were to express his stance at this moment, he would offend the equivalent of four families.
Given the current state of the Ye family, he abstained, allowing them to remain at 4v4.
"Alright, my opinion is that after the Military God Ranking concludes, this matter should be announced immediately."
As soon as Elder Ye finished speaking, the alarm clock on the table rang, indicating that it was time for them to take their medication.
The ten people snorted at each other and walked off in different directions.
However, ten minutes later, five elders returned to the same place, also led by Elder Ye.
"The battles of the Military God Ranking are still ongoing and will likely conclude in ten days. At that time, we will release this news under the name of the Hall of Glory, and the reputation of the Dragon Pavilion will be ruined. When Ye Longlin learns of this news, he will undoubtedly return to the capital, and once he returns to the capital, I believe you all know what to do, right?"
Elder Ye spoke slowly, completely devoid of the laziness he had during the meeting. Instead, his eyes revealed a sharp glint, and his expression carried an unusual ferocity!
Ye Longlin had completely offended the Ye family. After his return, he had killed many of their people. This debt not only needed to be repaid but also to let the entire nation know that the Ye family could not be provoked!
The Ye family had suffered too many embarrassments recently, casting a shadow on his reputation. Ye Nantian had also consulted with him before going into seclusion. The current Ye family was essentially in his hands.
Even if Ye Nantian were not in seclusion, he still held supreme status within the Ye family.
"I understand. We will fully support the Ye family at that time. You can rest assured, Elder Ye!"
"The current stage is indeed not the best choice, but after the Military God Ranking, will there be a different situation? That is, when the public enthusiasm is high, suddenly releasing this news. Although it achieves our goal, it is not good news for the military. What if those people in the military cause trouble?"
Mentioning this, everyone present fell silent.
Those in the military were not simple individuals. Some even directly drew their guns and asked if you dared to mess around!
They had been threatened by the military more than once or twice, and their methods of operation were already very clear.
"Ye Longlin is not only the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion but also the Great Xia Heavenly King. Once those people in the military go mad, no one can stop them. This is the most troublesome issue. Furthermore, if we make a move now, when public enthusiasm is high, can we bear the consequences?"
At this position, one absolutely cannot consider personal gain. If one considers personal gain too much, they will end up in trouble themselves.
Elder Ye was silent for a moment, then snorted, "That's their military's business. What? They dare to do it but not let people talk about it? What do they mean? If they really don't believe it, let's resolve it through a meeting. I believe many people will be willing to speak publicly."
