Originally, the protectors did not take the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, seriously at all.
Only when they personally witnessed Jianchen heavily injure protector Shan and display such shocking strength did they truly understand Jianchen's strength.
The current patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan was definitely not as weak as the rumours said.
Moreover, not only was he powerful, but he was also extremely domineering and decisive. Just because they were not present at the meeting, he had expelled three Primordial realm protectors.
As a result, the protectors no longer dared to look down on Jianchen. They began to truly treat him as their patriarch.
Jianchen sat on the patriarch's seat as he glanced past the protectors coldly. He knew that he had already established his dominance, but it was not over yet.
"Who is protector Xiang?" Jianchen asked emotionlessly.
As soon as she heard Jianchen mention protector Xiang, Mo Yan, who had basically already arrived at the entrance of the discussion hall, immediately shuddered. Excitement appeared on her delicate face.
The eyes of the former ancestor of the Mo clan, Mo Ling, lit up as well. He seemed to have guessed something, so he became eager.
"I am Xiang Ping. Greetings to the patriarch!" A bald old man stood up and clasped his fist towards Jianchen. He seemed amiable, without the arrogance and haughtiness of a Primordial realm expert.
Of course, this was only after witnessing Jianchen's strength.
Jianchen looked at protector Xiang and said, "Protector Xiang, it's said that you injured a senior member of our Tianyuan family in the past?"
The eyes of all the protectors in the discussion hall narrowed when they heard that. They all looked at protector Xiang, and some of their expressions became very unnatural.
They could tell that Jianchen wanted to condemn protector Xiang.
Many Primordial realm experts sensed an ill omen when they were directly condemning a Primordial realm expert for injuring an insignificant figure who was only an ant in their eyes.
After all, they had put on quite a few airs in the Tianyuan family in the past. If Jianchen questioned them one by one, many of them would probably end up in disgrace.
Even protector Shan, who was the strongest among them, was not his opponent, let alone them. Even the only person they could rely on, young master Ming, stood on Jianchen's side.
Without any exaggeration, if the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan wanted to condemn them for their past matters, they really would not have the ability to deal with it.
Protector Xiang could tell what was going on. His heart sank slightly, and he said, "Patriarch, there's probably some sort of a misunderstanding here. Please investigate this matter properly."
"Mo Ling, tell me in detail how protector Xiang treated you back then, as well as the entire story," said Jian Chen.
Mo Ling was overjoyed. He began to explain everything in detail.
The Tianyuan family had already investigated some of protector Xiang's past matters. He had fallen out with an ancestral emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire in his early years and had been hunted down by the ancestral emperor for a century. As a result, he resented the Heavenly Moon Empire and schemed to destroy it.
However, due to his limited strength, he was unable to destroy the Heavenly Moon Empire with his own strength. He also had to be on guard against the ancestral emperor's pursuit at all times, so he joined the Tianyuan family.
During his time in the Tianyuan family, protector Xiang had used various reasons to encourage the upper echelon of the Tianyuan family more than once. He had even roped in a few protectors and suggested that they take over the territory of the Heavenly Moon Empire.
On the surface, it seemed like he was considering the development of the Tianyuan family and was advising the Tianyuan family. However, in reality, he wanted to use the power of the Tianyuan family to destroy the Heavenly Moon Empire and achieve his personal objective.
His suggestion had received the support of many senior members of the Tianyuan family in the past. However, due to Mo Ling's strong opposition, protector Xiang's plan to use the Tianyuan family to destroy the Heavenly Moon Empire fell through. He failed in the end.
In his fury, protector Xiang directly grabbed Mo Ling by the neck and threw him out, injuring Mo Ling.
Protector Xiang's face became rather ugly when he heard Mo Ling's explanation.
"Protector Xiang, you won't deny this, right?" Jianchen stared at protector Xiang coldly.
"Patriarch, I only suggested attacking the Heavenly Moon Empire for the sake of the clan's development. I have no selfish motives at all. As for Mo Ling, he's only an Overgod, yet he dares to go against me. Is it wrong for me to teach him a lesson?"
"Don't tell me my status as a mighty Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime is lower than an Overgod in the Tianyuan family?" Protector Xiang retorted. He was unwilling to accept this.
Many Primordial realm protectors nodded for protector Xiang in the discussion hall. They all agreed with protector Xiang's point of view. They believed that an Overgod should be punished for provoking a Primordial realm expert.
Jianchen snorted coldly from the patriarch's throne, "Primordial realm experts do indeed possess a very great status in the Tianyuan family, but if you use that status to do whatever you want in the Tianyuan family, there will only be one outcome." With that, Jianchen suddenly vanished. He arrived beside protector Xiang like he had teleported. Sword Qi surged from him as the power of the Ultimate Way of the Sword gathered in his hand. He struck out, shattering space and striking protector Xiang with lightning speed.
At the same time, a formation rose up, enveloping the entire discussion hall. All the protectors and members of the upper echelon of the Tianyuan family were protected by the formation.
Jianchen's sudden attack caused protector Xiang's expression to change drastically. However, as a Primordial realm expert, he was experienced in battle, so he immediately responded. A low quality god artifact shield immediately appeared before him.
Boom!
Jianchen's hand struck the god artifact shield, and with a boom, the powerful ripples of energy knocked protector Xiang away with the shield.
Jianchen's current battle prowess had completely surpassed Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. The difference in strength between them was just too great. Even with a god artifact shield, protector Xiang struggled to block Jianchen's palm strike.
Protector Xiang fell to the ground in horrible shape. His face was pale, and blood spurted from his mouth. He was heavily injured.
Jianchen stood in the centre of the discussion hall with his hands behind his back. He glanced at protector Xiang coldly.
Afterwards, he swung his hand and turned around, making his way towards the patriarch's seat. He said, "In the future, if anyone dares to touch a single member of the Tianyuan family, they will end up like protector Xiang. Protectors have great statuses, but they can't ignore the rules of the clan. They can't replace the disciplinary hall. "
Silence reigned in the Conference Hall. Everyone was stunned. No one dared to speak. Some of the Protectors even had cold sweat on their foreheads. Their hearts were restless.
