"The ruler's presence of our Turtle clan. He really is the ruler of our Turtle clan." The second elder and third elder were secretly surprised. Their gazes toward Jianchen underwent a slight change. It became rather complicated.
The grand elder glanced at everyone below and proudly said, "I believe everyone can sense the ruler's Qi of my Turtle clan. This is the ruler that hasn't appeared in the past thirty thousand years. Only under the leadership of the ruler will my Turtle clan be able to advance towards glory. Everyone, why don't you bow when you see the ruler?"
A portion of them immediately knelt down, planning on bowing to Jianchen.
"Hold on." The second elder stopped them from bowing. He stared at Jianchen with shining eyes and clasped his hands, "May I ask what your name is and which tribe you come from? Why haven't we heard anything about you before? Where did you come from?" The second elder asked boldly. His tone was rather rude, as if he did not treat the ruler of the Turtle clan with any importance at all.
Jianchen sat there calmly in silence. He felt like there was no need for him to answer the second elder because only he knew that he was not the ruler of the Turtle clan. Everything originated from the Water Spirit Pearl that his majesty Poseidon had given him.
The grand elder's expression suddenly changed when he heard the second elder's words. He growled, "Second elder, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning the ruler? Can't you sense the ruler's presence?"
"Calm down, grand elder. This person does possess the presence of the ruler of our Turtle clan, but we don't know anything about him. We've never heard anything about the ruler of our Turtle clan either, so I feel like we need to understand this person's identity. After all, once the ruler of our Turtle clan takes on the role, it'll affect the fate of our entire clan. We can't be careless," the second elder leisurely replied.
The grand elder was furious, "Second elder, it's only right for the ruler of the Turtle clan to inherit the position of ruler of the Turtle clan because he is, without a doubt, the king of all the people of the Turtle clan. As the people of the ruler, we have no right to question the ruler's identity. Now, as the grand elder, I declare that the position of patriarch of the Turtle clan will be removed from today onwards. The entire clan will obey the king's orders. Is there anyone who disagrees? "
"First Elder, if you want to remove him from the position of Clan Leader, all three of us must agree. Right now, I am rejecting your decision to remove him from the position of Clan Leader because the identity of the King is unknown," the Second Elder said.
"Grand elder, he does indeed possess the presence of a ruler of our Turtle clan, but his arrival is just far too strange. At the same time, the matter of becoming a ruler is extremely important, so I don't think we can rush this matter. Why don't we put it aside for now and discuss it in the future?" The third elder expressed his opinion as well, standing on the same side as the second elder.
"Y- y- y- you're actually looking down on the ruler of the Turtle clan. This is outrageous, "the grand elder furiously said as he pointed at the second and third elders. He was extremely angry before glancing at the other people in the hall. He sternly asked," What do you think? Do you not agree with the ruler of the Turtle clan like the second and third elders? "
The Saint Rulers all looked at each other with a troubled expression. In the end, they all closed their mouths and remained silent. They had all silently agreed to stand on the same side as the second and third elders.
"Good, good, good. I never thought that you people would look down on Old Man even though he spends most of his time cultivating in the divine hall and rarely interferes with the matters of the tribe." The Great Elder was so angry that he slammed his walking stick on the ground and his chest heaved up and down violently.
Jianchen calmly observed the situation, but he secretly rejoiced inside. This was obviously the outcome he wanted to see the most because he had no interest in becoming the ruler of the Turtle clan. He would leave the sea realm sooner or later.
Seeing that the time was about right, Jianchen stood up from his chair and said, "Grand elder, there's no need to waste your breath. I will not become the ruler of the Turtle clan. I will be taking my leave now." With that, Jianchen directly made his way out of the hall without any reluctance.
No one in the hall dared to stop Jianchen. Although no one could accept Jianchen's identity because of the second and third elders, his ruler's presence was genuine. No one dared to offend him.
The grand elder furiously stood before the throne. He was no longer shameless enough to keep Jianchen after what had happened, so he allowed Jianchen to leave.
As soon as Jian Chen arrived at the entrance of the Turtle tribe, he saw the Evil King arguing with a few guards at the entrance with a displeased expression. He had followed Jianchen all the way from the divine hall, but he was not as fast as the grand elder, so he was left far behind. When he arrived, Jianchen and the grand elder had already entered. Without the grand elder leading the way, it was obviously impossible for him to enter the Turtle clan as an outsider. The assassin was arguing with the guards at the entrance.
"Evil King," Jianchen called out and quickly made his way over to the Evil King.
The Evil King immediately stopped paying attention to the guards when he saw Jianchen emerge. He studied Jianchen and said, "You've finally come out. What's the situation? Have you become the ruler of the Turtle clan?"
The guards immediately became surprised when they heard the Evil King call Jianchen the ruler of the Turtle clan. Their gazes toward Jianchen finally underwent an overwhelming change. Only now did they finally understand why they felt respect and fear for Jianchen from the bottom of their hearts. He was actually the ruler of the Turtle clan.
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go." Jian Chen nonchalantly made his way out of the entrance under the mixed gazes of the guards. He then took to the air and left.
The Evil King stared at Jianchen's back in doubt. He sank into his thoughts, but he said nothing and left with Jianchen.
"Oi, what happened to you in the Turtle clan? Did they mistake you for someone else? Are you not the ruler of the Turtle clan?" The Evil King quickly caught up to Jianchen and asked curiously.
"Correct, they were mistaken. I really am not the ruler of the Turtle clan," Jianchen replied. He was extremely calm. He did not care about what had happened in the Turtle clan at all.
However, as soon as Jianchen finished speaking, the surrounding space froze. It firmly immobilized Jianchen and the Evil King in the air.
The white-clothed Qing Yixuan appeared before the two of them. Her face was icy-cold as she glared at Jianchen. She called out, "Hmph, I'd like to see where you run off to now."
Jianchen's eyes narrowed, "Senior Qing Yixuan, do you still want to kill me?"
"I may not be able to kill you, but you can't stop me from taking back the map fragment of the Eight Wastelands," Qing Yixuan coldly said. She directly removed the Space Ring on Jianchen's finger and immediately began to rummage through it.
Jianchen smiled playfully. He knew that Qing Yixuan was following him long ago, so he had switched out his Space Ring long ago. He had tossed the Space Ring that truly contained valuable items into the artifact space.
Qing Yixuan rummaged through the Space Ring but failed to find any traces of the Eight Wastelands. Her face immediately sank as she glared at Jianchen viciously. She angrily yelled, "Speak, where did you put the map fragment of the Eight Wastelands?"
"Senior Qing Yixuan, the Eight Wastelands are of great use to me, so I won't return it to you," Jianchen said.
"Alright, since you won't hand it over, don't blame me for being rude. I may not be able to kill you, but I have plenty of ways to torture you. Come with me." Qing Yixuan arrived before Jianchen in a flash. She extended her slender, white fingers and directly grabbed Jianchen's clothes. Afterwards, she looked at Xie Wang and said, "To prevent you from leaking information, come with me as well." Qing Yixuan used her other hand to grab Xie Wang as well. She was about to take the two of them away.
"Qing Yixuan, how bold of you to treat the ruler of the Turtle clan like this!" At this moment, a yell rang out from behind. The grand elder of the Turtle clan radiated with a tremendous presence as he aggressively flew over.
"God dammit, why did this old turtle have to come now of all times? He's ruining my plans," Qing Yixuan frowned, but she did not let go of Jianchen and Xie Wang.
"Qing Yixuan, why don't you release the ruler of the Turtle clan, or don't blame me for reporting this to the hall master," the grand elder called out as he stood before Qing Yixuan. At that moment, he did not seem short at all with his hunched back. He did not seem short at all.
Qing Yixuan's eyes became filled with deep fear when she heard him mention the hall master. She thought, "The hall master values this person very much and has even personally appointed him as a guest of the Turtle clan. If this old turtle reports that I've captured this person to the hall master, I'll definitely be in trouble. Sigh, whatever." Qing Yixuan immediately gave up on the idea of capturing Jianchen. She coldly said, "I'll let you go this time. If you don't return the Eight Wastelands to me, I'll never let you go." With that, Qing Yixuan turned around and left. She moved extremely quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Ruler, are you alright?" The grand elder arrived before Jianchen and asked in concern.
"It's a good thing that the grand elder made it in time, or I might have been in trouble," Jianchen gratefully replied.
Some worry appeared on the grand elder's face, "Qing Yixuan is powerful, and her attacks are sharp. Our Turtle clan focuses on defense and our attacks are weak. If we really were to fight her, I would definitely lose. It's a good thing that she fears the hall master, or I really wouldn't be able to do anything to her. Ruler, Qing Yixuan has already set her eyes on you. You should return to the clan with me. As long as you remain in the clan, Qing Yixuan won't be bold enough to cause trouble no matter how bold she is. Although our Turtle clan is not powerful, we're still a founding member of the Poseidon hall. An outsider like her won't be bold enough to cause trouble in our clan. "
"Thank you for your concern, grand elder, but the Turtle clan is not a place for me to stay. I have other places to go," Jianchen declined.
The grand elder sighed, "The ruler is still angry about what happened earlier. It has already been thirty thousand years since a ruler has appeared in our Turtle clan, which is why the ruler's deterrence towards our clan has decreased. However, don't worry, ruler. I will definitely deal with the matters of the clan as soon as possible so that the ruler can successfully succeed the throne."
