At the same time, a white-robed, middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance stood beside a pool with his hands behind his back in a quiet manor within the Tianyuan family. He stared at a golden tortoise that slowly crawled through the pool in a daze.
The middle-aged man was one of the three late Infinite Primes of the Tianyuan family, protector Xue.
Protector Xue was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Even though he was not the most powerful out of the three of them, he was definitely the most respected figure in the Tian Yuan clan. There was no one like him.
Although they were all late Infinite Primes, protector Xue was different from protector Shan and protector Qi. In the eyes of all the members of the Tianyuan family, he was a Primordial realm expert who was very easy to talk to.
This was because it was very difficult to sense the pressure of a Primordial realm expert from him, nor did he put on any airs. He did not possess the arrogance and condescension that other Primordial realm experts possessed.
That was not all. Out of all the Primordial realm experts who had joined the Tianyuan family, protector Xue was the one who had contributed the most to the Tianyuan family.
As a result, protector Xue was deeply respected by the upper echelon and senior members of the Tianyuan family.
"Protector Xue, the patriarch has ordered all the Primordial realm protectors to gather in the discussion hall," at this moment, an attendant's voice rang out from outside the manor.
"I understand," protector Xue said indifferently. He shifted his gaze away from the golden tortoise and stared in the direction of the discussion hall. His gaze deepened.
"Jianchen has just returned, yet he's already gathered all the Primordial realm experts under the patriarch's orders. Although he's the patriarch, the person that everyone truly listens to in the Tianyuan family is Ming Dong. No one will take him seriously as the so-called patriarch. Will he be able to control the situation like this?" Protector Xue murmured. His eyes flickered as he murmured to himself, "After all, I've already joined the Tianyuan family and become a protector. Since the head of the family has summoned me, I should go. A protector is a protector. As long as I'm a protector, I can't go against the head of the family's orders."
"Young master, recuperate first. We'll be safe here for now. They won't be able to find this place anytime soon. I'll definitely find a way to reshape your soul and wake you up," protector Xue said firmly as he stared at the golden turtle in the pool.
The golden tortoise in the pool was only the size of a palm. Its small eyes emitted a murky light as it crawled aimlessly in the pool.
Its golden tortoise shell was covered with strange patterns that looked extremely mysterious. Faintly, it seemed to be resonating with the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth.
It was as if traces of the Great Dao were growing on its golden tortoise shell.
Protector Xue waved his hand, and a formation immediately rose up, enveloping the entire pool. With a flash, he directly made his way to the discussion hall.
All the Primordial realm experts of the Tianyuan family gathered in the discussion hall. Out of the eighteen recruited Primordial realm experts, fifteen of them arrived in the end.
The arrival of the fifteen Primordial realm experts made some of the important members of the clan feel pressured. Many of them began to stand up and give up their seats voluntarily.
At the very front of the discussion hall, closest to the patriarch's throne, there were three chairs arranged in a row. The three chairs were prepared for the three late Infinite Primes.
In reality, the order of the three chairs had already been decided. The three late Infinite Primes all had a seat that belonged to them. This was because Ming Dong had held a meeting like this in the past, and it had happened more than once. The order of the three chairs had been decided at that time.
Protector Xue and protector Qi sat on the two sides of the three chairs. The central seat was specially reserved for protector Shan.
However, the seat that originally belonged to protector Shan had been taken by someone else. To no surprise, the person was Hei Ya.
Protector Qi was an old man. He was skinny and skinny, as if he lacked vitality. He seemed rather sinister.
He looked at Hei Ya, who was sitting on the seat that belonged to Protector Shan, and his expression was slightly startled. Soon after, the corners of his mouth revealed a somewhat sinister smile. He did not say anything as he directly sat on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
He directly ignored Jianchen, who sat on the patriarch's throne. In his eyes, he really did not take the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan seriously. He only recognised three people in the Tianyuan family, which were Ming Dong, Ming Xie, and Xu Ran.
He did not even take Xi Yu's identity as a princess of the Xi dynasty too seriously.
Protector Xue's eyes narrowed when he saw Hei Ya. He glanced at Jianchen deeply and could clearly sense that the meeting this time would not be peaceful.
The other Primordial realm experts were surprised when they saw where Hei Ya sat. At that moment, they all began to communicate secretly through communication techniques.
At this moment, protector Shan arrived in the discussion hall. When he saw that his seat had been taken by a stranger, and the person was only a First Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, he immediately became furious.
He made his way towards Hei Ya's seat step by step. His burly body really did seem like a mountain.
It contained an immeasurable weight, and every single step it took emitted oppressive thumps that shook the entire hall to the point it was trembling.
"Who are you? Don't you know whose seat this belongs to?" Protector Shan stared at Hei Ya with a piercing gaze. His eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
Whether it was the senior members who had retreated to the very back or the Primordial realm protectors, they all held their breaths. They wanted to see how Jianchen would deal with this matter.
"He's Hei Ya. From today onwards, this seat belongs to him."
Hei Ya did not say anything, but Jian Chen, who sat on the patriarch's throne, spoke. He sat there boldly and emotionlessly. His voice was cold and filled with an unquestionable sense of dignity.
Protector Shan suddenly looked at Jianchen. His gaze was extremely sharp, and his presence was pressing. However, in the next moment, he remembered that Jianchen possessed hell water that he desired, so he changed his expression decisively.
"Whatever. For the sake of the hell water, I'll just bear with it for now," thought protector Shan. Protector Shan thought like that. He smiled and clasped his fist towards Jian Chen amicably, "Since the patriarch has said that the seat belongs to Hei Ya, I'll give it to Hei Ya from today onwards." With that, protector Shan took out a chair from his Space Ring and placed it on the side. He sat there like nothing had happened.
Jianchen glanced past protector Shan with his sharp gaze. He was slightly surprised. Originally, he thought that protector Shan would flare up on the spot, but he never thought that protector Shan would actually bear with it. This surprised him slightly.
PS: Originally, I planned on releasing two chapters today, one for yesterday and one for today, but I've been in a bad condition recently, so I've been writing very slowly. As a result, I've only released one chapter today. I'll try to finish yesterday's chapter tomorrow.
