And so, the two arrived at the seven divisions of the awakening clan.
Witnessing the patriarch appear alongside the murderer of the Seventh Young Clan Leader.
The elders and clan mbers who ca to welco them were all stunned.
What was going on?
Facing everyone’s gaze, Qing Yi suddenly put on the air of the clan leader.
Her face filled with indifference, she said with poise:
"That’s enough, disperse."
"Elders, follow to the council hall."
After speaking, she didn’t wait for the crowd to react and entered the clan territory with Wang Mang.
Seeing the two walking side by side, those who had co to et them finally ca to their senses.
For a mont, several elders exchanged looks, all sowhat dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Just as everyone was at a loss, the first elder cleared his throat and spoke:
"Enough dawdling, didn’t you hear the clan leader’s order?"
"Let’s go."
Upon hearing this, the elders nodded and moved toward the council hall.
...
Following Qing Yi’s steps, Wang Mang quickly arrived in the council hall.
"Take a seat wherever you like."
Qing Yi sat in front of the two rows of seats, casually addressing Wang Mang.
Hearing this, Wang Mang didn’t stand on ceremony, and directly sat beside Qing Yi while swinging up one of his legs.
At this sight, the corner of Qing Yi’s mouth twitched slightly.
You really have no restraint, do you.
Just then, eight elders also arrived in the council hall.
Seeing Wang Mang’s arrogant posture, they couldn’t help but feel tense.
One elder, whose face looked as though it had been carved by a knife, sharply scolded Wang Mang:
"Youngster, this is not a place where you should sit!"
Hearing this, Wang Mang acted as if he hadn’t heard, nonchalantly digging in his ear.
Seeing this, the elder was instantly enraged and was about to strike Wang Mang.
Powerful Dao runes surged from his body.
Ready to be unleashed.
At this, Qing Yi frowned and spoke out to stop him:
"Enough, first elder, quiet."
As she said this, she also gave him a warning glance.
In an instant, the slowly rising aura around the first elder abruptly halted.
"Yes."
With the clan leader speaking, even with imnse displeasure, he had no choice but to let it go.
Then the first elder could only find a seat on the side and sit down.
During the process, he glared fiercely at Wang Mang.
As if to say, kid, you’re done for!
With the first elder taking the lead and coming up short, the other elders didn’t dare to say much else.
They too found their own seats and sat down, waiting for Qing Yi’s instructions.
At this mont, the person sitting beside Wang Mang was Zhao Si.
Looking at the indifferent Wang Mang, Zhao Si’s face was full of confusion.
What was going on?
Did he hook up with the clan leader?
The various expressions of the elders as they looked at Wang Mang suggested they were beginning to speculate.
While everyone was lost in conjecture, Qing Yi first gave Wang Mang a warning glare and then cleared her throat, saying:
"Today, there is an important matter to announce."
At these words, the attention of the elders was imdiately captured.
Facing everyone’s gaze, Qing Yi calmly said:
"This person before you should be familiar to everyone here by now."
"From now on, he will be the Young Clan Leader of our seven divisions."
No sooner had the words fallen than the crowd erupted.
Voices rang out, each expressing their opinions:
"The patriarch must consider deeply, the matter of the young clan leader is not to be taken lightly."
"Indeed, I believe Hong Yu, the chief disciple of the first elder, is the best candidate."
"That makes sense, Hong Yu’s reputation and strength are second only to the forr young clan leader in our clan."
"Patriarch, please think thrice!"
While everyone was advising Qing Yi, Zhao Si next to Wang Mang also expressed his opinion:
"Strength is supre, Wang Mang’s ability to kill the Seventh Young Clan Leader naturally proves his formidable strength."
"As I see it, there could be no one more suitable than Wang Mang to beco the young clan leader of the seven divisions."
"As long as one has strength, reputation, and the rest can be slowly regained."
Upon these words, the glances of the other elders imdiately turned towards Zhao Si.
The first elder even voiced his anger:
"Nonsense, the origins of this child are unknown; even if his strength is formidable, it does not ensure his loyalty to the seven divisions."
"If we base it solely on strength, that’s just too hasty!"
"These matters, you, as the Second Elder, failed to consider."
"In my opinion, it’s ti for the Second Elder to be replaced."
As soon as these words fell, the eting hall suddenly fell silent.
The other six elders widened their eyes, their gazes shifting back and forth between the two.
Who would have thought that the struggle between the two highest-ranking elders would have started so inadvertently!
Sitting next to Zhao Si, Wang Mang also watched the two with keen interest.
"My position was personally bestowed by the patriarch."
"It’s not your place to judge."
"Rather, as the first elder, your primary duty was to protect the young clan leader."
"Yet you allowed the young clan leader to be killed right in front of you; what punishnt do you deserve?"
Zhao Si was unyielding and promptly began to accuse.
His icy tone made everyone present feel a chill down their spines.
Good heavens, they started tearing into each other.
In front of the patriarch, what were they trying to do?
Upon hearing Zhao Si’s argunt, the first elder burst into a cold laugh.
With a reply that showed anticipation, he said, "On that day, both you and I were present, you also share the bla for negligence."
"I’d like to ask how you four supervised the selection."
"To have let such a dangerous person enter our territory and also to have attacked the young clan leader."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three elders who supervised the selection with Zhao Si imdiately changed their expressions.
If you two want to squabble, why drag us into it?
"The first elder, you can’t speak like that; you are chiefly responsible for the loss of the young clan leader."
"We three were still responsible for supervising the selection; naturally, there were many matters at that ti."
"Indeed, the matter of the young clan leader is definitely your dereliction of duty."
Involuntarily implicated, the three elders were not to be ssed with and retorted sharply.
We’re all elders, who’s afraid of whom?
Even if we can’t beat you, there are rules within the clan that elders must not fight at will and disturb the order.
Seeing soone speaking up for Zhao Si, the other three elders sitting nearby hurriedly joined the camp accusing Zhao Si.
This led to four elders starting a new round of quarrelling.
The number of people on both sides was even, and for a while, neither side was losing ground.
Watching this farce, the smile on Wang Mang’s face beca even more pronounced.
Then, Wang Mang looked towards Qing Yi, his eyes filled with mockery.
Qing Yi, already frustrated by the squabbling elders, saw Wang Mang’s expression and his face imdiately darkened.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Just then, several loud knocking sounds abruptly interrupted the eight elders who were busy verbally sparring.
Only to see, Qing Yi with a somber expression, knocking on the table, said:
"Enough, I am here to inform you, not to discuss."
"This matter is thus decided, and Wang Mang will take office on the second day of the Stellar Domain Emperor’s pursuit."
"Before then, I do not want to hear even a whisper of news."
Upon these words, the elders imdiately fell silent.
Looking at the grim-faced Qing Yi, the first elder hesitated to speak further.
Looking at the indifferent Wang Mang, his sowhat murky eyes subtly betrayed a hint of murderous intent.
