Chapter 1315: Family Conflict (One)
Virtually all the Saint Kings of the Tian Yuan Continent had gathered in Mercenary City. Only a few Saint Rulers were temporarily able to avoid the affair, people needed to be at least Saint Kings to deal with the threat of the foreign world. The Saint Rulers were no different from cannon fodder before Saint Kings and Saint Emperors.
Although there were far more Saint Rulers than Saint Kings on the Tian Yuan Continent, their numbers were limited. Unless they ran out of options, they would never let Saint Rulers die for nothing because they were the future of the continent.
Over thirty people of different ages had gathered in the ancestral hall of the protector Changyang clan.
They were all Saint Rulers, and a few of them had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer. They were only an inch away from becoming Saint Kings.
An old, dignified, Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler said to the group, “Everyone, I’ve summoned you here today to discuss an important matter. Not only does this relate to our dignity, it also connects to the prestige and status we should have as a protector clan.”
The old man was Changyang Qing Yu, the most prestigious person among the Qing branch aside from the esteemed great elders. Not only was this because of his level of cultivation, it was also because of his talent. He was one of the few Saint Rulers who had managed to grasp a Saint Tier Battle Skill. At the same time, he already had a foot planted in the realm of Saint Kings and would become the fourth great elder of the Qing branch soon.
None of the Saint Rulers from the Qing and Yuan branch said anything. They all looked at Changyang Qing Yi. He had become the backbone of the clan in some vague sense now that the great elders were not present.
Changyang Qing Yi paused and looked around. He became extremely stern and then said, “I think some of you already know what I am going to say next. Correct, it’ll be related to the Zu branch breaking away from the protector clan. Since ancient times, the three branches have all been one family, yet the people of the Zu branch have actually broken away over a single Saints’ Fruit and have even worked with magical beasts to seal our miniature world. We’re one of the ten protector clans after all, so when have we ever experienced such humiliation without doing anything? As a result, we cannot let this matter slide. The esteemed great elders have gone to Mercenary City for some important matters, so they are busy for now. This is why we need to act personally to regain the dignity of the clan.”
“Changyang Qing Yi, do you plan on making trouble for the Changyang clan in Lore City? What do we do if we come across the three magical beasts? We can’t deal with them,” another old man, also a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, asked.
Changyang Qing Yi smiled mysteriously and said, “That’s not necessarily true. We’re not looking for trouble, but resolving matters within our clan, getting the people of the Zu branch to return to our protector clan. The Zu branch won’t be able to leave so easily just because they want to. You don’t need to worry about the three magical beasts. According to what I know, virtually all the Saint Kings have gathered in Mercenary City, so the three magical beasts are no exceptions either. The Changyang clan in Lore City no longer possesses a Saint King watching over them. They just have a few old friends that we know.”
“Changyang Qing Yi is correct. We’ve been sealed up in the miniature world for such a long time, so how can we let the matter slide without saying or doing anything? Otherwise, people will just look down on us.” A middle-aged man in red robes nonchalantly added. He was a Saint Ruler from the Yuan brach, currently at the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.
