Tomin in The Alien World

Tang Yin's words had actually entered the hearts of the elders. Now that the Divine Pool was riddled with thousands of holes, it could not bear the torment any longer. If the newly selected Holy King s acted like what Guanghan had heard, with one set on the surface and one behind her back, her Divine Pool would not be far from being destroyed.    

An elder named Fan Li stood up and said, "I think what the Feng King said makes sense. The Holy King we choose this time may not be superb enough, and they may not be impressive enough, but they definitely have to be upright, and not be selected as a disaster for the people who listen to them!"    

When they thought about it carefully, they felt that Ren Xiao was also a good candidate. Firstly, he had a good character and was on good terms with the Feng King, so it would not cause any harm to their Divine Pool. Secondly, he was young, so it was relatively easier to control him.    

Seeing that the elders had softened their attitude and seemed to agree with Tang Yin's suggestion, Lv Jian panicked and said again: "New Holy King can only be chosen from the elders, no matter what, this old man will not agree to let a brat be my Divine Pool's Holy King!"    

Lv Jian's opinion also represented a portion of the elder's heart. Right after he finished speaking, an elder stood out and echoed him, "Elder Lu is right, could it be that my Divine Pool is no longer present, and I actually want to pass the position of Holy King to a brat!"    

"Yeah, with so many elders, how can he, Ren Xiao, be the Holy King?"    

"But what the Feng King said is right, the quality of the Holy King is far better than the Spirit Martial Realm and the prestige of the Holy King. Everyone knows the character of the Young Master Ren, it is very suitable to have the Young Master Ren as the Holy King."    

The group of people started discussing, and the opinions were soon polarized. One side agreed for Ren Xiao to become their Holy King, while the other firmly opposed it, and the two sunk into an endless debate.    

Seeing that, Tang Yin secretly shook his head, this was the weakness of the Divine Pool, major events were all decided by the elders, but for people who were raised like 100, how could people's thoughts be the same, no matter big or small, the elders would always argue endlessly, and in the end, the efficiency of the situation would always be the same, and nothing would be achieved.    

He slightly turned his head, looked at Ah San behind him, and gave him a meaningful glance. The latter understood and slowly walked out of the elder's courtyard while sticking to the wall.    

Not long after Ah San left, Xia Yao walked in from outside. Hearing the unusually loud debate, she gave a calm smile and said, "I wonder what the various elders are arguing about?"    

Hearing the voice, everyone turned to see that it was the Holy Maiden. All the elders were startled.    

When Guanghan heard this, he had set up a law forbidding the Holy Maiden from leaving the Holy Temple. Now that Guanghan heard about it, the law he set also disappeared along with him. It was just that when people suddenly saw the Holy Maiden in the elder's courtyard, they were still somewhat unable to react.    

After pausing for a moment, the elders recovered their wits. One by one, they stood up and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Holy Maiden!"    

"Elders, you still haven't come to the conclusion of your argument!" Xia Yao slowly walked into the elder's courtyard, calmly looking around at the people present.    

Lv Jian said: "Holy Maiden, we are discussing about the selection of the Holy King s!"    

"Oh? I wonder if the various clan elders have found a suitable candidate? " Xia Yao asked, pretending to be curious.    

Xia Yao and Ren Xiao's relationship wasn't considered secret to Tang Yin, but the elders didn't know about it at all.    

Lv Jian frowned and replied: "Reporting to Holy Maiden, Feng King proposes to have Young Master Ren as her successor. However, Young Master Ren is still young, and had once been the adopted son of Guang Han, so he is not a suitable candidate!"    

Fan Li continued, "Young Master Ren is a righteous person with a gentle personality. This old man thinks that Young Master Ren being the Holy King is the best choice."    

Xia Yao laughed leisurely, and said with an indifferent expression: "I should not interfere in the selection of Holy King, but I am worried that I will repeat the same mistake again, so I will choose the second Guang Han to listen to, meddle in Holy Temple, and attract the wrath of heaven!"    

The elders understood what she meant. Guang Han hearing the decree strictly forbidding the Holy Maiden from leaving the sect was like imprisoning her in Holy Temple. Doing so was indeed a blasphemy to the gods. Lv Jian asked sternly: "I wonder what does the Holy Maiden think of this matter?"    

"I dare not say, but I also think that Feng King's suggestion is good. Young Master Ren is indeed a good candidate to be one of the best. Amongst the many foster sons and adopted daughters that Guanghan has heard, the only one who can remain untainted is the Young Master Ren. From this, it can be seen that the Young Master Ren's nature is simple and unsophisticated, different from ordinary people. Xia Yao said slowly.    

Her few casual words were too much in the hearts of the elders. If it was said that Tang Yin supported Ren Xiao because the two of them had a close relationship and concealed a secret, then the Holy Maiden also supported Ren Xiao, causing them to have no choice but to think deeply and re-evaluate the matter.    

Hearing her words, the elders who were originally supporting Ren Xiao became even more determined, and the elders who were opposed to Ren Xiao becoming Holy King also began to waver, lowering their heads without saying a word.    

Lv Jian frowned, he looked at Xia Yao, then at the laughing Tang Yin, his thoughts racing. The Holy Maiden didn't come early or late, yet she had come when the elders were selecting Holy King, and she had even expressed her attitude and support for Ren Xiao upon her arrival. Was this all a coincidence or was it all planned in secret?    

"Holy Maiden, this matter is of great importance. We cannot rashly make a decision ?"    

A dragon cannot be without a leader. A country cannot be without a ruler. The Deity's Lake is in need of life. It needs a new monarch to take charge of the situation. How can we not be anxious?" Xia Yao sternly replied, "Elder Lu has repeatedly objected to the young master becoming a Saint Ruler. Is there a personal grudge between us?    

Lv Jian's body trembled, he waved his hand and said: "No, no, no! This old man has no personal grudges with Young Master Ren ? It's just that I feel that the young of Young Master Ren is hard to convince everyone ? "    

Xia Yao laughed and said, "Rumor has it that Guanghan has already lived for more than five hundred years, and is old enough. However, he is still the number one sinner in the past thousand years of Divine Pool."    

Lv Jian blushed, but was rendered speechless by Xia Yao. Seeing this, Fan Li immediately followed, "Even the Holy Maiden thinks that the Young Master Ren is the best candidate to be the Holy King. In my opinion, there's no need to discuss this further, so it's decided!"    

Xia Yao stepping forward to support Ren Xiao was the key that changed everyone's mind. All the elders looked at each other. Although none of them said anything, no one stood out to object.    

Tang Yin secretly nodded his head. The Holy Maiden's position in the Divine Pool was indeed extraordinary. He turned his head towards Xiao Xuan and asked: "Elder Royal Brother Xiao, what do you think?"    

To Xiao Xuan, a Holy King of the Divine Pool could be anyone, but it could not be Ren Xiao. Ren Xiao and Tang Yin's relationship was too deep. If Ren Xiao was the Holy King, then Divine Pool would definitely stand on the side of Feng Country in the future.    

This matter had already touched upon the fundamental interests of the Chuan Country, and even the life and death of the person involved, Xiao Xuan could not retreat even half a step.    

He said with a stern expression: "For a New Holy King who does not approve of Ren Xiao becoming the Divine Pool, Guang Han hears that he has committed a great sin. Just the fact that Ren Xiao is his adopted son is not enough to convince the people of the world of him."    

Of course, Tang Yin could understand what Xiao Xuan was thinking. He said with a smile: "However, Elder Royal Brother Xiao, selecting a Holy King is still a matter within the Divine Pool. We can only provide some advice, but we cannot change the decisions of the elders! Right now, all the elders have already agreed that Young Master Ren is New Holy King, if Elder Royal Brother Xiao still tries to stop them, it would be going overboard. "    

Xiao Xuan frowned, Tang Yin was sealing his own mouth! He said with a stern expression: "Holy King of Divine Pool have always been revered by the people of the world, and the foster son that Guang Han listens to is chosen as the Holy King, who in the world would respect him? It would greatly affect the reputation of the Divine Pool, so the new Holy King of the Divine Pool definitely cannot be Ren Xiao. "    

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, the elders felt that he had a point. They were well aware of Ren Xiao's character, but that did not mean that the citizens of the world knew that people would only spread the news of Divine Pool and pick out Guanghan's foster son as a Holy King. It would indeed greatly damage their reputation.    

Xiao Xuan said in a heavy voice, "If the elders had insisted on choosing Ren Xiao as their Holy King, this king would be the first to disagree. In the future, Chuan Country would definitely not provide any more supply to the Divine Pool!"    

The Elders sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this. It had always been the Chuan Country that was the most important source of supply, especially recently when Feng Country had annexed the countries of Ning, Mo, An and Huan. The Feng Country didn't have a tradition of replenishing the Divine Pool, and now that it had merged with the four nations, these four nations no longer supplied the Divine Pool anymore. The only thing that was currently replenished with Divine Pool was the Chuan Country, if even the Chuan Country was cut off, then what could the Divine Pool rely on to survive?    

"This... King Chuan, please calm your anger. You cannot do this ? " A few elders could no longer hold it in anymore, hastily standing up and clasping their hands together.    

What Xiao Xuan wanted was precisely this kind of effect, and he was very clear in his heart about what kind of disaster would occur once he lost the supply of Chuan Country.    

Although he did not support Ren Xiao being the Holy King, if Xiao Xuan were to say it like this, it would mean that he was threatening Divine Pool. If this were to go his way, wouldn't Divine Pool have to listen to his orders in the future, wouldn't that mean that they would become a Subordinate Nation of Chuan Country?    

Before Lv Jian could even stand out and refute Xiao Xuan, Xia Yao had already coldly snorted and spoke: "The various nations have provided the Divine Pool with food so that the Divine Pool can concentrate on studying the spirit martial arts and expand its power. This is an agreement between the various nations' rulers at the beginning, and now the King Chuan is using this to coerce the Divine Pool, it is truly degrading the dignity of the King Chuan, and it is also degrading the previous generations of Former King s!"
