"Mm, then I won't vote either." Third Young Master Yuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end chose to hold still.
In truth, it was not out of fairness or conscience that he refrained.
Rather, he felt that the Seed of a Saint was shrouded in mist—impossible to see through, unfathomably deep.
Especially since that person was clearly someone who repaid every grievance in full.
Crossing such a person would bring no good end.
Even if the other party were locked in the Heavenly Prison for ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years, as long as he did not die—
Once he emerged, he would surely take revenge on everyone who had voted today.
Unless the clan found some pretext and killed him outright...
"Agreed!"
"I agree too!"
Beams of divine radiance appeared one after another in the void.
More than a hundred and twenty people had already agreed to deal with that collateral-branch Seed of a Saint in this manner.
They were determined to break the Saint Seed by force!
The more outstanding someone from outside the main lineage was, the greater a threat he became. If he would not submit, then they should snuff out the root of the disaster as early as possible.
Those who had yet to vote were some collateral-branch Hua Xuan elders, as well as several younger Hua Xuan cultivators such as Yuan Wangchen and Yuan Jiao.
Yet for the council's purpose to be achieved, two-thirds of the attendees had to cast an "Agree" vote.
Yuan Guyuan, who presided over the proceedings, narrowed his eyes slightly and swept his gaze over those figures who had not yet voted.
Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on Yuan Guhong, who sat silently in a seat near the edge.
"Guhong, what are you still hesitating over?"
