Jianchen bellowed out as Chaotic Force surged within him. An extremely powerful force shot out from his body, knocking away the three Saint Rulers who were holding onto his limbs.
Jianchen erupted with the strength of the third layer of the Chaotic Body, which was equivalent to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. It was not something that Saint Rulers could resist. The three Saint Rulers all vomited blood as they were blown away. They were heavily injured.
A few people immediately flew out from the crowd to catch the injured people. When they checked their wounds, their faces immediately changed in shock.
"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because we're in the protector clan. I'll spare your lives this time because we're from the same clan. If the same thing happened on the Tian Yuan Continent, I could take your lives with ease," Jian Chen said coldly. Jianchen coldly said as he glanced at the five Saint Rulers. He did not give them any respect at all, nor did he care whether they were from the Zu branch or not.
Jianchen did not know anyone in the protector clan aside from Changyang Zu Yunxiao and his wife in Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen waved his arm and tossed Changyang Qing Lengshuang out of the crowd like a dead pig. His gaze was as cold as an unsheathed sword. He said, "Changyang Qing Lengshuang, it's best if you put away your pride as a member of the protector clan before me, Jianchen. Don't try to take advantage of your seniority, or I'll still kill you even if you have the path lord of carnal desires behind you."
No one caught Changyang Qing Lengshuang. In the end, she fell heavily to the ground and was covered in dust. She was in a horrible shape.
Although many people had gathered there, it was deathly silent. No one said anything. They had all been stunned by Jianchen's strength and arrogance.
Five Saint Rulers had personally taken action, yet they had been injured so easily. They were as fragile as tofu. Moreover, he did not even fear the Holy Emperor, the path lord of carnal desires, which shocked all of them.
As a protector clan, Changyang Prefecture was one of the ten most powerful clans on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were sacred and inviolable, supreme, and worshipped by everyone. Yet now, the Bell of Clarity had chimed nine times to welcome a junior. Was this junior really the Holy Emperor?
Changyang Qing Lengshuang had been extremely arrogant since young. Coupled with her impressive talent, she was greatly valued by Changyang Qing Yun. Coupled with the fact that the Qing branch was the strongest among the three branches, she believed herself to be superior. Now that she had been humiliated by a junior in front of everyone, she immediately lost her mind from anger and lost all sense of reason. She obviously did not listen to Jianchen's threats. She shrieked, "Changyang Shōten, how dare you go against your superiors and attack a senior of the clan? Where are the disciplinary elders? Why don't you tie up this disgraceful person and hand him over to the great elders?" Changyang Qing Lengshuang was no longer as heroic as before. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were dirty. They had even been torn in a few places. She seemed more like a beggar.
A middle-aged Saint Ruler went up to cover Changyang Qing Lengshuang's mouth, but he was mercilessly pushed away. She was like an enraged lion right now. All she wanted to do was grab Jianchen and bite him a few times.
Six well-dressed, dignified, and righteous old men walked out from the crowd. They all looked at Jianchen with mixed feelings. They were troubled.
The six old men were the disciplinary elders of Changyang Prefecture. They were all at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Rulers. They possessed great status and authority, only second to the great elders.
"Disciplinary elders, why don't you punish this disgraceful clansman?" Although Changyang Qing Lengshuang was blinded by anger, she knew that she was not Jianchen's opponent, so she yelled at the six old men.
The six disciplinary elders sighed inside. They knew Jianchen's background extremely well. They had personally witnessed the great disturbance Jianchen had caused when he returned from the sea realm a few days ago. They knew that Jianchen was a powerful figure that even the ten protector clans were unwilling to offend despite his young age, so they obviously did not want to offend Jianchen.
The six disciplinary elders arrived before Changyang Qing Lengshuang. One of them pointed a finger at Changyang Qing Lengshuang's throat, depriving her of the ability to speak. Afterward, he gently sighed, "Lengshuang, how can we offend an esteemed guest who has rung the Bell of Prime Clarity nine times? Today's mistake is all on you. Once the great elders return, we'll report everything to them." The six disciplinary elders did not mention the five injured Saint Rulers at all. They were not stubborn people. They knew who they could offend and who they could not.
Seven tremendous presences appeared in the distance. The seven great elders of Changyang Prefecture had returned and arrived on the floating continent very soon. They looked around and immediately noticed something strange. One of them asked with a deep voice, "What happened?"
The six disciplinary elders immediately reported what had just happened. They avoided the important matters and focused on the trivial, basically placing all the blame on Changyang Qing Lengshuang.
Although the six disciplinary elders were usually righteous and impartial people, they knew what to say at a time like this.
Changyang Qing Lengshuang anxiously stomped her feet to one side. She felt wronged and unwilling, but unfortunately, she could not say anything. She had been restrained by two disciplinary elders, so she did not even have the opportunity to argue.
Changyang Qing Yun frowned after listening to the disciplinary elders' report. However, before he could say anything, Changyang Zu Xiao heavily said, "Changyang Qing Lengshuang, you've actually offended an esteemed guest. Your crimes cannot be forgiven. Disciplinary elders, immediately imprison Changyang Qing Lengshuang in the Ten-thousand-year Ice Cavern for a hundred years."
"Yes, Grand Elder!" The six Law Enforcing Elders bowed in unison.
The three great elders of the Qing branch of Changyang Prefecture frowned even more, especially Changyang Qing Yun. A sliver of anger even appeared in his eyes. Changyang Qing Lengshuang was one of the most talented people in their Qing branch, yet Changyang Zu Xiao had just imprison her for a hundred years. This was basically taking away a hundred years of her cultivation.
"The seven other clansmen who dared to attack the esteemed guest will also be imprisoned for a hundred years," Changyang Zu Xiao continued. His face was dignified, leaving no room for argument.
In the end, Changyang Qing Lengshuang and the two women beside her, as well as the five other Saint Rulers, were all severely punished. The people who wanted to attack Jian Chen but were stopped by their companions in the end all sighed inwardly at how lucky they were.
"Great-grandson, may I ask if you're satisfied with this punishment?" Changyang Zu Xiao's dignified expression vanished as he amiably smiled at Jianchen.
Jianchen nodded slightly and said, "Has the seal in great-grandfather Yunkong's head been removed?"
"Great-grandson, it's all thanks to you that Kong 'er has been tormented for many years.
The seal has been successfully removed. From now on, Kong 'er can finally continue cultivating, "Changyang Zu Yunxiao chuckled as he relaxed inside.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jianchen was brought into the divine hall by the great elders. However, Huang Luan was left outside, accompanied by Changyang Zu Yeyun.
Before long, a loud voice rang out from the divine hall, echoing through the entire Changyang Prefecture.
"From today onwards, Changyang Zu Xiangtian of the Zu branch is a great elder of Changyang Prefecture. He is the eighth great elder of Changyang Prefecture …"
The loud voice boomed out. It came from the seven great elders, announcing Jianchen's identity. However, they added the word 'Zu' to Changyang Shōten, symbolizing that he was a member of the Zu branch.
The news immediately caused an uproar in Changyang Prefecture. There were various voices, but half of them were against it. After all, Jianchen was still an outsider in the eyes of many people.
Immediately, a few clansmen who were extremely dissatisfied with Jianchen's position volunteered to form an organization. They all gathered in front of the divine hall to oppose Jianchen becoming a great elder.
However, their opposition was powerless before the seven great elders of Changyang Prefecture. It did not have any effect at all. The seven great elders all stood out to suppress them.
The seven great elders possessed an inviolable dignity in Changyang Prefecture. The seven of them represented everything in Changyang Prefecture. As long as the seven of them were united, they could decide the fate of Changyang Prefecture.
Jianchen possessed the battle prowess of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Coupled with the Winged Tiger beside him and the two supreme experts behind him in Ruijin and Black Fish, how could the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture not try their best to rope in someone like that in? Once Jianchen became a member of the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture, the powerful force by his side would stand on the side of Changyang Prefecture.
Not to mention, Jianchen's fiancée in name, You Yue, had become Fairy Haoyue's disciple and obtained the Bright Moon Divine Hall. Her future was limitless.
The highest floor of the divine hall was a majestic hall. It was decorated with gold and jade, far more luxurious than the imperial palaces of the three great empires. This was the ancestral hall of the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture.
The ancestral hall was filled with countless memorial tablets. These people were all the great elders of Changyang Prefecture in the past. There was no lack of Holy Emperor among them, but they had all vanished from the world.
Jianchen and the seven other great elders stood side by side before the sea of memorial tablets. They all worshipped the tablets together. The owners of the tablets were all the ancestors of Changyang Prefecture.
Before coming to Changyang Prefecture, Jianchen had already expected something like this to happen. However, he would not become a great elder of the protector clan, but Changyang Zu Yunkong would.
Changyang Zu Yunkong's words changed his mind.
"Great-grandson, you are a member of our Zu branch. Our Zu branch will be proud of you."
Jianchen changed his mind because of that. He did not object to the title of great elder given to him by the Changyang Prefecture. All of this was for the sake of his great-grandfather, Changyang Zu Yunkong.
"Alright, the ceremony is over now. Great-grandson, we should take you to the library now. It contains all the records of our Changyang Prefecture over the years. There are many things that record the secrets of the ancient times, as well as various cultivation methods, Saint Tier Battle Skills, and the cultivation experiences of our ancestors. You have already become a great elder of Changyang Prefecture, so you have the right to read these records," Changyang Zu Xiao smiled as he felt gratified.
Jianchen's interest was piqued. He was extremely interested in the records that recorded the secrets of the ancient times. He did not care about the cultivation methods and Saint Tier Battle Skills. Those things did not suit him at all.
