Tears flowed uncontrollably from Changyang Zu Yeyun's eyes. She sobbed, "Kong 'er, Kong' er, where are you? Don't you know how much I miss you?" Changyang Zu Yeyun's voice was filled with deep sorrow. Changyang Zu Yunkong was her only son. Who knew how many tears she had shed over the years for him. Her strength had even stagnated because of this. She had remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler for several hundred years, unable to break through.
This was because her son had already become a mental puzzle for her. If she could not solve this puzzle, she would never be able to break through to the level of Holy Emperor. She would only be able to live for three thousand years at most.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao arrived beside Changyang Zu Yeyun. His heart was just as heavy. He could not help but sigh inside when he saw how sad his wife was. He comforted her, "Yeyun, don't be too sad. I believe that we'll find Kong 'er one day. Didn't Kong' er establish a Changyang Prefecture here? He'll return sooner or later."
"Senior Changyang Zu Yunxiao, is Jianchen also a part of your Changyang Prefecture?" At this moment, a powerful voice rang out from above. The president of the union stared at Changyang Zu Yunxiao and his wife. The light in his eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Jianchen?" Changyang Zu Yunxiao softly murmured. A sliver of doubt appeared in his eyes. He had not participated in the meeting of elders in Changyang Prefecture, so he obviously did not know about Jianchen.
"Old man, Jianchen's real name is Changyang Shōten. He's the fourth young master of our Changyang Prefecture. He's an unprecedented genius on the Tian Yuan Continent. He's twenty-four this year and is already a hermit Saint Ruler," Chang Wuji explained from one side.
A gleam of light flashed through Changyang Zu Yunxiao's eyes when he heard that. A sliver of disbelief appeared on his face as he softly cried out, "How is it possible to become a Saint Ruler at twenty-four?" Chang Bo's words had indeed shocked Changyang Zu Yunxiao. Becoming a Saint Ruler at such a young age was not something that could be described as terrifying. It was definitely unprecedented on the Tian Yuan Continent.
The president continued, "Senior Changyang Zu Yunxiao, Jianchen has taken away the saint artifact of our union that has existed for countless years. We've only come to take it back. We have no other intentions. We hope that Jianchen can return the saint artifact once he returns." The president paused when he reached there. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "And according to what I know, the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger, is also by Jianchen's side."
Changyang Zu Yunxiao could no longer remain composed when he heard that. He immediately cried out in surprise, "What? The ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger, is by Jianchen's side?" However, a sliver of joy immediately filled his face. Jianchen was a member of the Changyang Prefecture. Since the ancient divine beast was by Jianchen's side, did that not mean that the Winged Tiger was under the control of the Changyang Prefecture? This was great news for the Changyang Prefecture.
Changyang Zu Yeyun suppressed her pain as well. Shock filled her face. The ancient divine beast that the ten protector clans had mobilized the entire continent to search for was actually by the side of a disciple of the Changyang Prefecture. This was no small matter.
The senior members and guards of the Changyang Prefecture were stunned by this piece of news as well. The news of the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger, had spread like wildfire across the entire Kingdom of Gesun. Everyone was searching for the Winged Tiger, but they had never thought that the Winged Tiger would actually be by the side of the fourth young master, Changyang Shōten.
Suddenly, the space above the Changyang clan began to violently pulse. A multicolored Space Gate formed at an extremely fast speed as figures shot out one after another. In the blink of an eye, several dozen people in the same uniform appeared above the Changyang Prefecture. Although they did not radiate with any presences, they were able to hover in the air without using the energy of the world. They were clearly Saint Rulers.
A gleam of light flashed through Changyang Zu Yunxiao's eyes. He slowly glanced past the several dozen people and finally became stern. He said with a deep voice, "I never thought that the people of your Yangji Zong would actually come here." With Changyang Zu Yunxiao's status, he understood every single protector clan extremely well. He could tell with a single glance that the Yangji Zong had basically turned out in full force this time. Aside from the invasion of the Beast God Continent, the only reason why the Yangji Zong had mobilized so many people was because of the Winged Tiger.
"I never thought that one of the seven great elders of the Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Zu Yunxiao, would be here as well. It's a pleasure to meet you, "a ruddy old man from the Yangji Zong calmly looked at Changyang Zu Yunxiao and smiled faintly.
He was one of the great elders of the Yangji Zong. His name was Chun Yangzi, and he was the most authoritative and powerful person in the Yangji Zong.
A burly, middle-aged man stood beside Chun Yangzi. The middle-aged man stared at Changyang Zu Yunxiao emotionlessly and said, "Changyang Zu Yunxiao, have you come for the Winged Tiger as well?"
At this moment, Changyang Zu Yunxiao completely believed the president's words. The Winged Tiger really was following a disciple of the Changyang Prefecture. After a moment of thought, Changyang Zu Yunxiao said, "This is a branch of our Changyang Prefecture. Fellow Yangji Zong, I hope you won't interfere with the matters of our Changyang Prefecture."
"Hehe, we obviously won't interfere with the matters of your Changyang Prefecture. We've come this time mainly to capture a person called Jianchen, also known as Changyang Shōten. This person has destroyed a branch of our Yangji Zong, so he cannot be forgiven. Otherwise, where will the dignity of our Yangji Zong remain?" Chun Yangzi smiled.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao's face sank. He said, "Changyang Shōten is a member of our Changyang Prefecture. Yangji Zong has no right to capture him."
"Brother Yunxiao, you jest. Your Changyang Prefecture only has the Zu, Yuan, and Qing branches. You don't have the Xiang branch, so how can this Changyang Shōten be a member of your Changyang Prefecture? And Changyang Prefecture doesn't have anyone with the surname Zu, Yuan, or Qing either. How can he be a member of your protector clan Changyang Prefecture? It's probably just someone with the same name," Yi Yangzi continued to smile as he secretly used a secret technique to search for Jianchen's presence. However, after searching the entire Kingdom of Gesun, he actually failed to sense any other Saint Ruler's presences aside from the Saint Rulers gathered in Changyang Prefecture.
"Don't tell me Jianchen isn't here, or he's used an extremely great method to hide his presence. Otherwise, how would he have escaped my search?" Chun Yangzi thought. He waved his hand and said, "Bring all of Jianchen's relatives back to the sect. There needs to be an explanation for the destruction of a branch of our Yangji Zong."
"I'd like to see who dares to move!" Changyang Zu Yunxiao bellowed out and immediately shot into the sky. He faced off against the people of Yangji Zong as he radiated with a surging presence.
Yangji Zong's face sank slightly. He said with some anger, "Changyang Zu Yunxiao, do you want to declare war on our Yangji Zong?"
"Changyang Prefecture was founded by my son, Changyang Zu Yunkong. All of the direct descendants are people of our prefecture. Your Yangji Zong has no right to take away a single person from Changyang Prefecture. If you insist on doing this, then so be it if we fight," Changyang Zu Yunxiao growled as his presence skyrocketed.
"Changyang Qing Yun isn't here. You're not my opponent," Chun Yangzi's voice became cold. For the sake of the Winged Tiger, he would not back down at all.
At this moment, the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently. Numerous spatial gates appeared in the surroundings at the same time, and people in various clothes walked out in an endless stream.
At this moment, all the people from the ten protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent had gathered there. Even the six other great elders of Changyang Prefecture had arrived with the Saint Rulers of their clans.
The ten protector clans had all mobilized. On one hand, they wanted to use their absolute advantage in an attempt to steal the Winged Tiger. On the other hand, they wanted to prevent the experts of the Beast God Continent from suddenly invading the Tian Yuan Continent and stealing the Winged Tiger from them after they found the Winged Tiger.
As a result, the ten protector clans were no weaker than when they fended off the Beast God Continent's invasion.
"Yunxiao, Yeyun, why are you here?" An old man from the Changyang clan discovered Changyang Zu Yunxiao and his wife, and he immediately became slightly surprised.
Changyang Zu Yunxiao immediately became respectful because the old man was the person with the greatest seniority in the Zu branch. He was also his great grandfather, Changyang Zu Xiao.
"Great grandfather, the Changyang Prefecture isn't just someone with the same name. It's a clan that Kong 'er founded outside," Changyang Zu Yunxiao explained. He knew that the protector clans had definitely received some news. If he wanted to protect the Changyang Prefecture that his son had founded, he could only reveal the origins of the Changyang Prefecture.
"What? It's a clan that Kong 'er founded outside? " Changyang Zu Xiao was slightly surprised inside. He had already learned about the existence of the Changyang Prefecture in Lore City before he had come, but he had only believed it to be a clan with the same name, so he did not take it to heart.
Soon afterward, Changyang Zu Xiao seemed to think of something. He immediately asked, "Yunxiao, who is that Jianchen?"
"Great grandfather, Jianchen's real name is Changyang Shōten. He's also a member of our Changyang Prefecture," said Changyang Yunxiao.
Everyone from Changyang Prefecture was surprised. Immediately, one of them could not help but whisper, "Changyang Shōten is actually a member of our Changyang Prefecture. Doesn't that mean that the Winged Tiger is following a disciple of our Changyang Prefecture?"
The great elders of Changyang Prefecture looked at each other. This piece of news was just too shocking to them. None of them had thought that the Winged Tiger that their protector clans had been searching for would actually be following a disciple of their clan.
