The expressions of all the protectors changed drastically when they sensed the power of the divine hall. The Primordial realm experts suppressed by the Watercloud Hall all bellowed out furiously and resisted as hard as they could.
They all understood that once they were suppressed, they would be reduced to meat on the chopping block. They would be at the mercy of the divine hall.
As a result, none of them were willing to give up.
Immediately, the powers of over a dozen Primordial realm experts erupted in the Watercloud Hall, forming a tremendous storm of energy in an attempt to fend off the Artifact Spirit of the divine hall.
However, even though there were many of them, it was nowhere near enough before a medium quality god artifact. All of their attacks, defences, and methods of resistance were as fragile as paper before the Watercloud Hall.
The power of the Watercloud Hall was unstoppable, completely restraining the Primordial realm protectors.
"Xi Yu, what's the meaning of this?"
"Xi Yu, we're mighty Primordial realm experts. Even in peak organisations, we can become elders. How can you treat us like this …"
"How dare you! How dare you! This is the greatest insult to us as Primordial realm experts …"
"Release us! If the Tianyuan family treats us like this, then it's fine if the Old Man doesn't want to be a protector anymore …"
.....
At that moment, all the Primordial realm protectors who had been suppressed by the Watercloud Hall roared out furiously. However, while they seemed furious on the surface, their hearts sank. They sensed that something bad was about to happen.
"Strange. Why has the Artifact Spirit of the Watercloud Hall suddenly begun to listen to Xi Yu's orders?" On the other side, protector Mei and the others were all shocked as well. They were all astounded by Xi Yu's ability to command the Artifact Spirit of the Watercloud Hall.
In the past, Xi Yu was only an Overgod. In the eyes of many Primordial realm experts, that was not enough to deter them at all. Coupled with the fact that the true leader of the Tianyuan family, Jianchen, had not been present for a long time, the protectors still did not take her seriously even though she had taken on the mantle of a vice-patriarch.
However, now that Xi Yu had demonstrated her ability to command the artifact spirit of the Watercloud Hall before all the Primordial realm protectors, her status in the hearts of the Primordial realm protectors increased drastically.
This was because the significance of the Watercloud Hall being commanded and the Watercloud Hall being commanded by no one were completely different.
If no one commanded the Watercloud Hall, it would only be a sturdy nest that could not move.
However, if someone could command the Watercloud Hall, the medium quality god artifact would immediately become a weapon of attack and defence. it could be moved as they wished..
"Protectors, I can only trouble you for now. Before the matter is completely investigated, you probably won't be able to leave the Watercloud Hall." Xi Yu stared at the immobilised Infinite Primes under the suppression of the divine hall calmly as her heart heaved. She struggled to remain as calm as she did on the surface. As a matter of fact, her heart could not help but beat heavily.
Everything that was happening right now could only be described as extremely exciting to her as an Overgod. This was because she had never experienced the feeling of being able to imprison so many great Primordial realm experts with a single thought, where their lives were in her hands.
This feeling of wielding absolute power not only excited her, but also intoxicated and captivated her.
"Protector Lin, I'll have to trouble you to cooperate with the investigation of the clan," said Xi Yu. With that, an extremely beautiful orchid appeared behind her. Immediately, many roots extended from it, wrapping around protector Lin, who was only a Second Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
"T- t- this is the orchid that patriarch Jianchen has been cultivating …" Protector Lin was one of the few female protectors in the Tianyuan family. She immediately recognised the Immortal Devouring Orchid that only existed in legends in the Tianyuan family. She immediately paled in fright.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid was no longer a secret. Basically, all the important members of the Tianyuan family knew about its existence. They also knew that patriarch Jianchen had once fed it with the corpses of a large number of Primordial realm experts. There were not only Infinite Primes, but there were also a few Chaotic Primes and even Grand Primes.
"Don't come over … Don't come over … Don't come over … Release me …" Protector Lin shrieked in fright. This was the infamous Immortal Devouring Orchid that had devoured the corpses of a large number of Primordial realm experts in the Tianyuan family. Now that the Immortal Devouring Orchid's roots had wrapped around her, protector Lin subconsciously imagined the terrifying scene of the Immortal Devouring Orchid devouring Primordial realm experts. At that moment, her heart trembled as she became frightened out of her wits.
"S- vice-patriarch, I'll tell you everything I know. Please make the Immortal Devouring Orchid leave my body. Make it stay away from me …" Protector Lin shrieked.
.....
The Watercloud Hall remained closed for three whole days. Three days later, the tightly shut doors finally opened. However, only half of the thirty or so protectors who had entered the Watercloud Hall made it out in the end.
Protector An and the other protectors seemed to have vanished from the Watercloud Hall, never to appear before the eyes of the world again.
Afterwards, the upper echelon of the Tianyuan family underwent a great change. Many people who were suspected of corruption were arrested. They were either expelled from the Tianyuan family or locked up in the Tianyuan family's prison.
Xi Yu oversaw everything. This matter immediately increased Xi Yu's prestige in the Tianyuan family as a vice-patriarch.
"Protector An and the others have all been locked up in the Watercloud Hall? Hmm, that's not a bad idea. It saves me the trouble of having to do anything. Right now, only the Watercloud Hall, a medium quality god artifact, is suitable for locking up protectors in the Tianyuan family. " Within a small courtyard enveloped by a powerful formation in the depths of the Tianyuan family, Xu Ran slowly opened her eyes. She looked in the direction of the Watercloud Hall and could not help but nod secretly.
Nothing that happened in the Tianyuan family could escape her eyes. With her cultivation as a Chaotic Prime, the senses of her soul were so powerful that they could easily envelop the entire southern region. If she wanted to, there would be no secrets in the entire southern region before her eyes. Nothing that the protectors of the Tianyuan family secretly did could escape her eyes.
However, from her height and her experiences in the past few years, she had already become indifferent to worldly matters. As a result, she knew exactly what was going on in the Tianyuan family, but she could not be bothered to care about it, let alone pay any attention to it.
The meaning of her existence was more of a deterrent!
At the same time, she was a Poseidon. No matter how chaotic the Tianyuan family became, it would always be the Tianyuan family. It would not change its name.
"The Origin of Ways really is a power formed after a Grand Exalt passes away. It really is wondrous. After absorbing a portion of the ancient Skywolf's Origin of Ways, my progress in the past few years can only be described as unbelievable."
