There was no other reason than the fact that Lin Yi had Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian behind him, plus he wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and he had an adult Baxia in his hands.

With such a huge lineup, even he, the number one person in the world who controlled the strongest faction, had to think carefully before making a move.

Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.

The group of giants couldn’t help but have strange expressions.

Kong Shenglin had always been the one to decide the authority of the giants. The other giants, even Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, had no right to speak.

There was no way Lin Yi didn’t know about this.

Now that he suddenly brought it up in public, wasn’t he afraid of embarrassing himself?

As expected, Xi Rulai revealed a mocking expression. Without waiting for Kong Shenglin to speak, he sneered and mocked,” As expected, newcomers don’t know the rules. The authority of a giant has always been decided by Giant Kong. What are you discussing?”

“Rules aren’t set in stone. Maybe we can discuss it and make it more reasonable?” Lin Yi smiled.

Xi Rulai was about to mock him when Gu Jiumu said,” I agree. There are some things that we can discuss. If we can’t discuss anything, there’s no point in the existence of the Supreme Board of Directors.”

!!..

The moment these words were said, everyone was shocked.

Was this the meaning of flipping the table?

Gu Jiumu’s support for Lin Yi had reached this level?

On the other side, Chu Hantian also spoke up.” If we can’t discuss anything, then why are we still here? Let’s be straightforward. We can just flip the table and end this.”

Everyone looked at each other.

However, at the same time, the giants also smelled something unusual. On the surface, Lin Yi was fighting for his authority, but in reality, this was a real fight!

With the current situation, Lin Yi teaming up with Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian to launch an attack in public was bound to be an extremely dangerous attack for Kong Shenglin himself and the entire strongest faction.

Kong Shenglin could have done the same thing as before, rejecting it with a single sentence, cutting Lin Yi off from the giant’s authority.

However, the same words were said before for one effect, and now for another. If he was really forced to that step, Kong Shenglin would either lose or lose.

“Let’s vote then. I support Lin Yi’s decision.” Gu Jiumu suggested.

“Same here.” Chu Hantian chuckled.

Everyone was in an uproar.

This was completely outside of the agenda of this regular meeting and caught the strongest faction by surprise. The most important thing was that the two top giants actually took the lead to express their stance. It was obvious that they were determined to win!

Kong Shenglin’s face darkened and he did not speak.

As the number one person, he could naturally reject it at this time. However, that would be equivalent to completely falling out with them.

After all, Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian’s ruthless words had already been put in front of him.

With the current situation of the strongest faction, no one could guarantee what would happen if they completely turned hostile. The only thing that was certain was that the situation of the strongest faction would definitely not be better than now.

“Isn’t this against the rules?” Rulai Xi stood up and choked.

Lin Yi said faintly,” Rules are made by people. If there’s something unreasonable, it should be changed. It won’t go far if it stays the same. Of course, this is just a voting discussion. You can object. I will defend your right to say no.”

Xi Rulai couldn’t help but choke.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to retort, but Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian were glaring at him like tigers watching their prey, ready to flip the table at any moment. If he said anything wrong at this time, it might become a fuse.

He really couldn’t bear the consequences.

After a moment of silence, a neutral giant voiced his opinion.

Then, a second and a third neutral man spoke up. Even the ones who were obviously leaning towards the strongest faction stood on Lin Yi’s side.

To be precise, they weren’t supporting Lin Yi, but the alliance between Lin Yi and the two giants.

Xi Rulai and Nie Liangchen’s expressions darkened.

In the past, it had always been their strongest faction that controlled the overall situation. When had they ever encountered such a passive situation?

The key point was that it was not just one or two neutral giants who were wavering, but all the neutral giants had collectively sided with the other side. And this was the result of Kong Shenglin deliberately opening the ruins of the Time Temple to show goodwill to them. How could they accept this?

In the blink of an eye, all six votes were on Lin Yi’s side.

Other than the empty seat left by Luoxi Liu, even if all the members of the strongest faction opposed it, there would only be three votes. It would not change the overall situation at all.

Unless, Kong Shenglin used the power of a top giant to reject.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes fell on Kong Shenglin. Everyone was secretly guessing whether this publicly acknowledged number one person in the world had the courage to flip the table.

“If you want the authority so badly, why not give it to you?” Kong Shenglin looked at Lin Yi indifferently.

With a wave of his hand, he gave Lin Yi the access to the giant again.

Everyone was silent.

With the recent decline of the strongest faction, it was not difficult to understand why Kong Shenglin chose to endure. However, as the number one person, it was still beyond everyone’s expectations that he had suffered such a loss.

“Thank you, Big Brother Kong.” Lin Yi cupped his hands.

As he spoke, he exchanged glances with Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, and he couldn’t help but feel pity in his heart.

If Kong Shenglin were to explode like this, although it was very likely that the situation would go out of control, as enemies, it was exactly what he wanted. After all, the strongest faction was deeply rooted. Even if they lost Luoxi Sect and their reputation seemed to have been greatly reduced on the surface, as long as they fought steadily, the strongest faction with Kong Shenglin in charge would still be the largest faction in terms of overall strength. At most, their advantage would not be as prominent as before.

In the end, Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian weren’t truly in an alliance. They were merely joining forces to adapt to the situation.

Once the situation changed, they could go their separate ways at any time. Kong Shenglin chose to endure at this time. In other people’s eyes, he might be admitting defeat, but in Lin Yi’s eyes, it made him even more dangerous.

After the meeting, the news of the board meeting spread and the world was in an uproar.

Although there was no lack of discerning people who could see the situation clearly, they knew that Kong Shenglin’s concession was a wise move. It did not have a substantial impact on the overall situation of the forces.

After all, since he could give out the authority of the giant, he could naturally take it back in the future. It had nothing to do with the overall situation. However, in the eyes of the vast majority of the audience, cowardice was cowardice.

For so many years, the strongest faction had always been domineering.. When had there ever been a time when they had been defeated like this?
