In the Zaar Family, the Head of the Zaar Family was only a spokesperson. Although he had some status, he didn't hold much power. He couldn't really decide the fate of the Zaar Family. Once there was a big move or a big matter, the Zaar Family Head must report to the elders above.
The elders of the Zaar Family were divided into two systems, the inner and outer. The inner elders were all senior figures of the Zaar Family, and were all people who wielded real power. If their opinions could be unified, then they would be able to decide the fate of the Zaar Family and all their actions.
As for the outer elders, they were made up of a few experts of the Zaar Family and invited experts from the outside. The outer elders had a certain status in the Zaar Family and enjoyed generous treatment, but they did not hold any real power.
Jianchen had heard about these systems of the Zaar Family from the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union before he came. Therefore, he had a rough understanding of the internal situation of the number one family in the City of God.
Jianchen sat down on an empty seat on the side. Afterwards, he chatted with the people in the hall. After a series of conversations and introductions, Jianchen also understood that the people in the hall were the upper echelons of the Zaar Family.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Zaar Family straightened his face. He stared at Jianchen with shining eyes and said, "Master Yang Yutian, the reason why I invited you to the Zaar Family as a guest is because I have an important matter to discuss with master Yang Yutian."
Hearing this, Jianchen knew that the main topic had come. His expression also became serious. He clasped his hands and said, "I wonder what matter the patriarch wants to discuss with master Yang Yutian?"
The patriarch of the Zaar Family smiled and said, "Master Yang Yutian's unprecedented gift has made all the elders in the Zaar Family praise him greatly. For this reason, a few of the elders in the Zaar Family had a discussion and finally came to a decision. We hope that master Yang Yutian can become an inner elder of the Zaar Family and enjoy real power and status. I wonder what master Yang Yutian thinks about this!" After saying that, the head of the Zaar Family stared at Jianchen closely. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of expectation.
"I thank the Zaar family for their kindness. However, Yang Yutian is already a core disciple of the Radiant Saint Master Union and has even been accepted as a disciple by the president. If he were to join your Zaar family now, I'm afraid it would be rather inappropriate." Jianchen said with a calm expression. He did not care whether his decision would offend the Zaar Clan or not.
"Master Yang Yutian, you have to consider carefully. Letting you become one of the internal elders of the Zaar Family is the first time since the establishment of the Zaar Family that someone who is not a direct descendant of the Zaar Family has become an internal elder. Our Zaar Family values you very much." The head of the Zaar Family advised.
Jianchen had an apologetic look as he said, "Patriarch, I'm really sorry. Unless I get master's approval, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to become an inner elder of the Zaar Family."
"Sigh!" The head of the Zaar Family sighed softly and did not say anything else. Suddenly, his expression changed and he revealed a hint of respect. However, he returned to normal very quickly and said to Jianchen, "Master Yang Yutian, the grand elder wants to see you. Please follow me."
After saying that, the head of the Zaar Family walked out of the hall. A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. After a slight hesitation, he followed the head of the Zaar Family out. As for his personal guard, Yang Ling, he was left behind in the hall.
Jianchen followed behind the head of the Zaar Family without any obstructions. In the Zaar Family, Jianchen did not see any patrolling guards. However, he could sense quite a few powerful auras in the dark. They were at least Earth Saint Masters and there were even a few Heaven Saint Masters accompanying them.
Even when Jianchen passed by the side of the hall, he could sense the aura of a Saint King expert. His strength had already reached the Third Heavenly Layer of a Saint King.
Jianchen knew that the strength he saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the Zaar Family. How could the Zaar Family that occupied the entire City of God and even had one of the eight great nations of the Tian Yuan Continent submit to them only have this little bit of strength?
Jianchen followed behind the head of the Zaar Family and entered a palace in the back of the Zaar Family. Finally, they stopped in a living room. In the middle of the living room, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion was sitting at a table leisurely drinking tea. The old man wore a white robe. His white hair was tied into a bun the size of a bun on his head. He emitted an otherworldly aura, giving off a sage-like aura.
"Greetings to the grand elder!" The head of the Zaar Family respectfully bowed to the old man.
"You can leave!" The grand elder said indifferently, not even looking at the head of the Zaar Family.
"Yes!" In front of the grand elder, the head of the Zaar Family appeared incomparably respectful. He deeply bowed to the grand elder and then retreated with light steps.
After the head of the Zaar Family left, the grand elder finally raised his head. His gaze landed on Jianchen and he said in a flat tone, "You are Yang Yutian?"
Jianchen clasped his hands. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He saw a formless aura being emitted from the grand elder's body. It was like Mount Tai was pressing down on Jianchen, causing Jianchen's entire body to be unable to move at all. Even his legs were slightly bent as he slowly knelt on the ground.
"You want me to kneel? You are not qualified!" A monstrous anger spontaneously rose in Jianchen's heart. His gaze instantly became sharp, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. The Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings rapidly condensed towards him, quickly condensing into a silver-white armor that covered every corner of his body. It emitted a dazzling white light to resist the huge pressure.
With the formation of the Radiant Saint Armor, the pressure on Jianchen's body suddenly decreased by a lot. His bent legs immediately straightened up, and his gaze towards the grand elder also carried some sharpness.
"This grand elder's strength is at least above the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Saint King." Jianchen thought to himself, without the slightest fear.
A light flashed in the grand elder's eyes, and his gaze towards Jianchen contained some praise. Soon after, the formless aura emitted from him suddenly increased.
Jianchen's body violently trembled. His legs that had just straightened up showed signs of bending again. At this moment, he felt that the pressure on his body was not a mountain, but a mountain of iron, an iron mountain made of iron.
Crack!
A crack appeared on Jianchen's Radiant Saint Armor. The crack grew larger and larger, gradually covering every inch of his body. In the end, it shattered, dispersing into the air as dust.
Jianchen gritted his teeth. All the Chaotic Force within him surged into his chaotic neidan, hiding it deeply. This was the moment when his identity as a fighter would be exposed the most easily. Just in case, he gave up on the idea of using the Chaotic Body to block the attack.
"God's Shelter!" Jianchen called out and used the only defensive technique out of the three. Immediately, the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings gathered towards Jianchen at an unbelievable speed. Although the grand elder had restricted Jianchen's movements, he could not stop Jianchen from using Radiant Saint Techniques because Radiant Saint Force was not something fighters could control.
"God's Shelter. I never thought that you would even be able to grasp this technique. It looks like you've grasped all three of the most powerful divine techniques of the Radiant Saint Master Union," the grand elder murmured as some surprise appeared on his face.
The God's Shelter condensed the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings and surged it into the body, allowing the body to become as tough as steel without any side effects at all.
Tremendous amounts of Radiant Saint Force poured into Jianchen's body, fusing with it in the end. It caused Jianchen's entire body to shine with a hazy white light while his body's defences increased at an unbelievable rate. Although it was nowhere close to the Chaotic Body, it was the most powerful defensive technique for a Radiant Saint Master with his fragile body.
Jianchen's defences rapidly increased as powerful Radiant Saint Force flowed through his body, resisting the pressure from the grand elder. His bent legs slowly straightened once again.
A strange light appeared in the grand elder's eyes. He murmured, "Not bad, not bad!" With that, the presence that Jianchen faced suddenly increased by several times, completely suppressing the light from the God's Shelter. A crack appeared where Jianchen stood, and it rapidly expanded. His feet gradually sank three inches into the ground.
A sliver of determination appeared in Jianchen's eyes. He slowly closed his eyes and raised his hands with great difficulty. He formed a strange seal before his chest.
The grand elder's eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw this. He remembered this seal. It was the seal for casting the forbidden technique, God's Descent.
"I can't let him use God's Descent. Although it's not a true God's Descent and can't pose a threat to me, the great disturbance will definitely alarm the people of the union," the grand elder thought. He immediately withdrew his presence. With a wave of his hand, a gentle force was emitted, forcefully dispersing Jianchen's seal. He smiled, "Master Yang Yutian, please do not become angry. This Old Man only wanted to witness little brother Yang Yutian's strength before. He had no other intentions. If I have offended you in any way, I hope that master Yang Yutian will not take offense."
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. Although he knew that the grand elder was testing him, he was still extremely angry.
"Why did the grand elder call Yang Yutian here?" Jianchen said expressionlessly. He was not polite at all.
Perhaps the grand elder also knew that his previous behavior was somewhat excessive. He didn't care too much about Jianchen's attitude. He smiled and said, "Master Yang Yutian is really a straightforward person. Well, then this Old Man will be frank. Master Yang Yutian, this Old Man wants you to join our Zaar family and become one of the inner elders of our Zaar family."
"The patriarch has already mentioned this matter to me. I'm afraid that I will have to disappoint the grand elder." Jianchen's tone was somewhat cold.
The grand elder continued, "Master Yang Yutian, to be honest, the president of the Radiant Saint Master Union only has a hundred years left. Once he passes away after a hundred years, the union will fall into the control of our Zaar family. If you join our Zaar family and become an inner elder, this Old Man can promise you that our Zaar family will give you full control of the Radiant Saint Master Union. You will be the president. Moreover, our Zaar family will be your strong backing. Master Yang Yutian, please consider it."
