Chapter 1277: The Changyang Clan Breaks Free

Changyang Zu Xiao raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly said, “Our Zu branch has broken away from the protector clan. We no longer have anything to do with the protector clan. Yunxiao and I obviously haven’t come as representives of the Changyang protector clan. There’s no need for the grand elder to ask us members of the Zu branch about borrowing the Emperor Armament.”

Everyone present was greatly surprised by what Changyang Zu Xiao had said. Many of them showed disbelief.

Many of the Saint Kings had a certain understanding of the Changyang clan of the ten protector clans. It was divided into the Zu, Yuan, and Qing branches, and in the countless years it had existed, the three branches had always been on good terms. Even if a few disagreements arose every now and then, it would not threaten the stability of the clan.

Yet now, Changyang Zu Xiao had actually said that the Zu branch had left the protector clan and that they no longer had anything to do with the protector clan. Many found this difficult to believe.

“Changyang Zu Xiao, is that true? Has your Zu branch really left the protector clan?” The grand elder asked sternly. This was something significant.

“Changyang Zu Xiao, you can’t be joking right? The three branches have been on good terms for over a million years. Since ancient times, all three branches have acted in unison, so why have you completely fallen out now all of a sudden?” A ruddy old man sitting beside Changyang Zu Xiao asked. He was a great elder from the Moyuan clan and was on rather good terms with Changyang Zu Xiao.

At this moment, everyone present turned their gazes to Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao. The Saint Kings from the Yiyuan sect and Yangji sect were particularly eager to hear the hole story as they rejoiced inside. They were extremely willing to see the Changyang clan be ripped apart, resulting in a great decrease in strength.

Changyang Zu Xiao remained expressionless. This matter had hurt him very much, so he heavily replied, “How can I be joking about something so significant? I am obviously telling the truth. Our Zu branch no longer has any connection with the Changyang protector clan.”

The room immediately fell silent, but all the people had already begun to accept the reality of the Zu branch’s departure. Although this was a shocking piece of news on the Tian Yuan Continent, it was not enough to affect them. However, many people realized that the Changyang clan’s strength had greatly decreased with the changes. They would definitely fall off the throne as the strongest protector clan and might even end up as the weakest protector clan out of all of them. Many people from the other clans celebrated inside.

“Since the Zu branch had broken away from the Changyang clan, may I ask why there is no one from the Qing and Yuan branch present representing the Changyang clan?” A Saint Kings from a protector clan asked out of curiosity.

The grand elder looked around, and indeed, he failed to find the people of the protector Changyang clan. As a result, he said to a Saint King beside him, “Sixth elder, I will trouble you to visit the Changyang clan. Please invite them to our city so we can discuss the countermeasures against the World of Forsaken Saints.”

The sixth elder of Mercenary City immediately stood up and clasped his fist at everyone. He clearly said, “Everyone, I shall be dismissing myself temporarily.” Afterward, he directly left the miniature world.

Although the protector Changyang clan was extremely far away from Mercenary City, it would only take a Saint King a few seconds to traverse the distance. The sixth elder returned in less than five minutes and sternly informed everyone, “Grand elder, I’ve visited the Changyang clan and discovered that it’s been sealed. Not only is it impossible to enter, the people inside cannot come out either. All methods of communication are useless as well.”

“What!” The grand elder’s expression changed as he immediately stood up. Even all the Saint Kings there were greatly shocked. A mighty protector clan had been sealed, locked up in their miniature world. This was just far too astounding to everyone present.

“Sixth elder, is that true? The Changyang clan has actually been sealed up in their miniature world? They’re a protector clan for goodness sake. Just who on the current continent has such abilities? Even the path lord of carnal desires can’t do something like this,” said an independent Saint King.

The grand elder did not probe into the matter further. He stared deeply at Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao, “Changyang Zu Xiao, our Tian Yuan Continent is currently facing a great danger. Although I don’t know just what’s happened to your Changyang clan, we just happen to be in need of people. We want to break through the seal. Do the two of you have any objections?”

At this moment, a minute change occurred in the gazes toward Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao. There was admiration and disdain. Many of them had connected the matter to the Zu branch since they had broken away.

Changyang Zu Xiao gently sighed. He knew that there was probably quite a few people who misunderstood the Zu branch, so he needed to explain, “It’s all because of the Saints’ Fruit. When Jian Chen obtained the Saints’ Fruit back then, Changyang Qing Yun wanted to take it for himself, resulting in never-before-seen internal strife. Completely angered, Jian Chen worked with the three magical beasts to seal up the Changyang clan. This matter has always pained me the most. If you want to break the seal and free the people from the two branches, our Zu branch obviously has no objections.”

Everyone immediately understood what had happened with Changyang Zu Xiao’s explanation, but they were once again shocked by Jian Chen and the three magical beasts’ extraordinary methods of doing things. They could actually seal up a protector clan. It would be difficult for even Saint Emperors to achieve something so extraordinary.

This was because every single protector clan possessed methods to deal with Saint Emperors.
