Xi Yu's face paled from anger as she listened to her subordinates' analysis. Her eyes were filled with malice as she was utterly furious. She was tempted to ferret out these people immediately and grind them to dust.
These resources were all the private property of the Tianyuan family. At the same time, they were the foundation that supported the development of the Tianyuan family.
After all, the Tianyuan family was quite large right now. There were many people, so they needed to spend a large amount of resources to support them. Once they ran out of resources, the consequences would be rather severe.
However, the protectors who had been recruited by the Tianyuan family were not satisfied even after enjoying the benefits provided by the Tianyuan family. They actually went overboard and secretly took over the private property of the clan, causing great losses to the clan. As a matter of fact, the disappearance of the inspectors from before was definitely related to them.
In Xi Yu's eyes, this was already a heinous crime.
However, when Xi Yu thought about how they were all Infinite Primes, she felt deeply powerless.
Although she had temporarily taken over the Tianyuan family after Jianchen's departure, her cultivation was still low after all. The protectors who had joined the Tianyuan family were all yes-men to Jianchen. They listened to everything he said. However, they did not treat her, the vice-patriarch, with as much respect.
Even though she was the princess of the Xi dynasty, her status did not carry as much weight in the eyes of the Primordial realm experts of the southern region. After all, this was not the northern region.
"It's a pity that senior Xu Ran doesn't care about worldly matters and has always been in secluded cultivation. Otherwise, if senior Xu Ran had appeared, it would have been much easier," Xi Yu sighed secretly. She discovered that her vice-patriarch was truly rather useless.
"Who knows when Jianchen will return. If he's here, all the problems the clan faces right now will be resolved." At this moment, Xi Yu could not help but think about Jianchen.
"In any case, you are the Deputy Patriarch of the Tianyuan family. You are an existence that is second only to the Patriarch and above tens of thousands of people. You are in charge of the life and death of the entire family. How can a few protectors be so difficult for you?"
At this moment, a voice that filled Xi Yu with worry rang out. Jianchen had silently appeared in the main hall of Watercloud Hall.
No one noticed when he had appeared. It was only when he spoke that Xi Yu and her subordinates noticed his presence.
Although the Watercloud Palace was a mid grade divine artifact, the Artifact Spirit had long since submitted to Jianchen. Therefore, Jianchen could come and go as he pleased in the Watercloud Palace.
"Greetings, Patriarch!" Several subordinates in the main hall recognized Jianchen's identity at a glance. Their expressions immediately revealed respectful expressions as they bowed excitedly.
Xi Yu stared at Jianchen in a daze. A relaxed smile gradually appeared on her face.
"You've finally returned. It's just that I've let you down in the end. I didn't manage the clan well for you, causing the clan to lose a large amount of resources."
"Resources aren't important. With the current wealth of the clan, it doesn't matter even if we lose some resources. The main reason is that you still lack decisiveness as the Deputy Patriarch of the Tianyuan family." Jian Chen said to Xi Yu sternly, "Xi Yu, you need to understand that the power structure of our Tian Yuan clan is different from other organisations. Right now, we don't have an ancestor or a great elder. The patriarch is the person with the greatest authority. As the only Deputy Patriarch of the Tianyuan family, you naturally have the final say in all matters of the clan when I'm not present. "
"Not only do you have the right to accept or reject the Primordial realm experts who defected to the Tianyuan family, but you even have the right to interrogate and expel them when they do something that harms the interests of the clan. If anyone resists, you can get the other Primordial realm experts in the clan to take action and suppress them forcefully."
"The clan spends a large amount of resources to support them every year. There are also many god artifacts, God Tier cultivation methods, and God Tier Battle Skills as benefits. These resources cannot be used to support a bunch of little ancestors who only know how to enjoy themselves and not put in any effort."
"Although Primordial realm experts are not commonly used, they have to do their best when they are needed. Once someone disobeys the arrangements or goes against the orders, you have the right to revoke all of their rewards as the Deputy Patriarch and expel them from the Tianyuan family. Our Tianyuan family does not need people like that."
"B- but they're Primordial realm experts after all …" Xi Yu said in a rather troubled manner. Even in the Xi Empire, any Infinite Prime was an extremely esteemed figure. They could become elders at any time.
They were elders or even great elders.
In some ancient empires, an Infinite Prime would be a great figure on the level of ancestors.
Although the Tianyuan family had been purged of Primordial realm experts in the past, Jianchen had been the main culprit at that time.
Yet now, Jianchen wanted her to investigate all of them alone or even directly expel these esteemed Primordial realm experts. In Xi Yu's opinion, this was just too crazy. She did not have the confidence to do something like that at all.
"It doesn't matter if they're at the Primordial realm or not. As long as they're not Chaotic Primes, you can do whatever you want with them." Jianchen waved his hand and gave Xi Yu all of his authority as the patriarch.
Jianchen was very open-minded about the matter. He knew that ever since the reshuffling of power on the Cloud Plane, the Tianyuan family's power had been rapidly expanding beyond what it could endure. Countless Divine Kings had joined the Tianyuan family from various places. There were even twenty or thirty Infinite Primes. They managed many divine crystal mines and medicinal gardens as well, basically covering the entire southern region.
However, they did not have the talent and heritage of the clan to match their rapidly expanding scale. Moreover, the various chains of benefits were not mature and complete, and the power to supervise them was weak. In the end, it would obviously breed many parasites.
After all, basically all of the Primordial realm experts in the Tianyuan family were outsiders. There were just far, far too few Primordial realm experts who truly belonged to the clan. Moreover, he had been away from the clan all this time, so he lacked the power to deter others. Naturally, there would be people who would lose control over their greed.
At this moment, Jianchen waved his hand, and the Immortal Devouring Orchid immediately flew out from the depths of the Watercloud Hall. It shrank to a beautiful flower that was three inches tall and wrapped around Jianchen's hand. It was extremely close.
"The Immortal Devouring Orchid has grown to the level of Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes now. Xi Yu, I'll have the Immortal Devouring Orchid listen to you completely during this time. It will follow any of your orders. And this Watercloud Hall, as a medium quality god artifact, can control any Infinite Primes as long as they're in the divine hall. From now on, the Artifact Spirit will listen to your orders as well. "
"I'll leave the Immortal Devouring Orchid and the Watercloud Hall to you. You can do anything you want in the clan." In the end, Jianchen gave Xi Yu a list of the various materials required to refine the Divine King's pill. He got her to arrange for people to collect them.
