289 World Authority (1/2)
”Now I need to look for another clan head for the Zhan Clan. That bastard killed anyone who could be an obstacle for him, so it will be difficult finding someone decent.”
Although Liye didn't care too much about the Zhan Clan, he didn't plan to let it turn in an anarchy because they were still his descendants and he planned to use them to clean the Revgen Empire from the True Empire.
After all, Liye could beat the great powers, but there were a lot of small ones across the Empire and Liye's time was limited, so it was better to delegate the small fries to the noble clans.
After some minutes looking all the possible candidates, Liye teleported towards the place where an old woman was resting.
That old woman was at the 5-star Sage Rank and mainly worked on healing. Moreover, since she didn't have any interest in power and was loved by almost all the clan to the point that almost everyone called her grandma, the previous clan head didn't try to harm her.
”I pay my respects to the ancestor.”
The old woman kneeled when she saw Liye. Liye didn't try to hide, so for someone at the Sage Rank, it wasn't difficult to know what had happened.
”From now on, you are the new clan head of the Zhan Clan.”
The old woman didn't seem surprised by Liye's words.
”Ancestor, I am not someone who could lead others, and I don't have any interest in power.”
She had never involved herself with any of the political affairs of the clan, and she even maintained a neutral position by not joining any faction. She healed anyone who asked her for a healing and avoided making enemies even with the dire situation inside the clan.
However, she wasn't like Ange, who avoided any form of harming others, that old woman hated the people of the True Empire and the previous clan head, but she knew that trying to oppose openly to them would just provoke an internal war.
Thus, she worked on the shadows to save the lives of those who fell in the plots of the True Empire or the clan head. Given that everyone knew about her personality of healing anyone who asked her, no one thought that she was deliberately interfering of their plans.
When Liye killed the members of the True Empire, that old woman didn't feel any pity for them, and the same went for the clan head's death.
”I know that. You don't have any interest in power, but you did your utmost to save the lives of the members of the Zhan Clan without being discovered by those traitors or that shameless clan head. The Zhan Clan doesn't need a leader hungry of power, needs someone who cares about all the members and wants the best for them.”
The Zhan Clan had been heavily damaged, and even though the traitors died, there were still several factions that were in conflict with the others. Thus, someone like that old woman who didn't belong to any faction and didn't want conflicts in the clan was the best person to take care of the Zhan Clan.
”I am not capable, but I will follow ancestor's orders.”
The old woman didn't try to continue rejecting after seeing that Liye understood very well her personality.
”Ancestor, may I ask a question?”
Liye nodded.
”Your body looks like the body of the youngster who has a bounty on his head issued by a faction of our clan. May I know if you two have some relationship?”
The previous clan head never bothered about who asked for a bounty, but that old woman was different and wasn't happy when she saw that members of the Zhan Clan wanted to kill another member of the Zhan Clan by issuing a bounty.
”We are the same person. That is my identity after reincarnation, to think that those fools would ask to kill their own reincarnated ancestor, they deserved their deaths.”
The old woman had already guessed something like that, but after confirming it, she kept in mind helping that faction that supported Yale's mother as that faction had turned extremely weak in the past years till the point that had almost disappeared.
”If you have nothing else to say, I still have some matters to do.”
Liye waved his hand, and the old woman's bloodline reached the perfect grade. Then, Liye disappeared from the Zhan Clan.
