Yu Haoran arrived at the meeting hall with ease. Seeing the four black-clothed men guarding the meeting hall, Yu Haoran took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Stop!" Just as Yu Haoran was three meters away from the door, one of the black-clothed guards shouted.
"Yu Hongzhang told me to come!" Yu Haoran said coldly as he raised his head to look at the black-clothed guard.
Yu Hongzhang was the Head Elder's name.
However, this name was rarely mentioned more than ten years ago. At that time, he had already been promoted to the position of Head Elder. Therefore, when he heard Yu Haoran mention Yu Hongzhang, the black-clothed guard couldn't help but frown.
"Yu Hongzhang is the Head Elder, and the Head Elder is Yu Hongzhang!" Yu Haoran kindly reminded him.
Hearing Yu Haoran's kind reminder, the black-clothed guard was stunned for a moment before angrily shouting, "How dare you! How dare you call the Head Elder by his name!"
"Tch, aren't names meant to be called? Otherwise, why would our parents give us names? "Yu Haoran shrugged as he spoke with a matter-of-fact attitude.
"You're courting death!" Yu Haoran's matter-of-fact attitude completely angered the black-clothed guard loyal to the Head Elder.
After angrily shouting, he reached out to grab Yu Haoran.
Third Grade Martial Warrior!
Seeing that the black-clothed guard's cultivation was at the Third Grade Martial Warrior level, Yu Haoran didn't take the risk to counterattack. Instead, he used his hundred years of cultivation experience to avoid the opponent's attack without using any Yuan Li.
After a period of cultivation, especially with the martial skills he had learned in his previous life, Yu Haoran was able to deal with a Third Grade Martial Warrior black-clothed guard. However, he didn't want to reveal that he could challenge a Third Grade Martial Warrior, especially one that was an entire realm above him. He didn't want to cause panic in the Head Elder and the others and cause them to seek revenge.
Seeing that Yu Haoran was able to easily avoid his attack without using any Yuan Li or martial skills, the black-clothed guard's expression changed.
Immediately after, he increased his Yuan Li and continued to grab Yu Haoran.
Seeing the black-clothed guard increase his attack power, Yu Haoran's expression slightly changed. Without using Yuan Li, it would be difficult to continue to avoid the opponent's attacks.
If he continued to hold back his strength, he would be caught sooner or later. With the black-clothed guard's loyal nature, if he was caught, he wouldn't have a good ending. Therefore, he decided to reveal a portion of his strength.
Of course, the exposed strength would be suppressed to the sixth grade of Martial Disciple as much as possible, so as not to arouse the excessive fear of the Great Elder and the others.
.................... ................ of..............
Although the black-clothed guard was unwilling to stop, when he thought of the owner of the voice, he obediently stopped and stood to the side.
Looking at the black-clothed guard with disdain, Yu Haoran tidied his clothes and walked into the meeting hall with a leisurely attitude.
Seeing the leisurely Yu Haoran, the black-clothed guard's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. He had a thought of revenge in his heart.
..!
After entering the meeting hall, Yu Haoran discovered that there were quite a few people in the hall. There were nearly thirty people.
Taking a closer look, he discovered that apart from the nine inner clan elders who held real power in the Yu Clan, there were also more than twenty outer clan elders.
The Yu Clan's elder group was divided into inner clan elders and outer clan elders.
The conditions for inner clan elders were stricter. Only those who had reached the Martial Master realm and were a direct descendant of the Yu Clan had the qualifications to become inner clan elders.
At the same time, the number of inner clan elders was always limited to nine people. These nine people and the clan leader jointly decided the fate of the Yu Clan.
The conditions for outer clan elders were more relaxed. As long as they reached the Martial Master realm, went through many years of investigation, and obtained the approval of the clan leader and at least three inner clan elders, regardless of whether they were a Yu Clan member or not, they had the qualifications and opportunity to become outer clan elders.
Of course, compared to inner clan elders, outer clan elders had many restrictions on their authority. At the very least, they could not interfere with the internal affairs of the direct descendant of the Yu Clan.
At this moment, other than the nine inner clan elders, the rest of the outer clan elders were mostly unfamiliar to him.
In fact, Yu Haoran knew very well that the outer clan elders that his father promoted at that time were either dealt with by the head elder or sent away. They were not allowed to participate in today's meeting to prevent them from affecting today's interrogation.
Yu Haoran did not care about this.
This was because the ones who really decided the direction of today's interrogation were the nine inner clan elders. The twenty or so outer clan elders were only deliberately arranged by the head elder to increase their faction's morale.
Therefore, those twenty or so outer clan elders were no different from decorations in Yu Haoran's eyes. Moreover, he was confident that he could shut them up in the shortest time possible.
After sweeping his gaze across the inner and outer clan elders, Yu Haoran's gaze finally landed on the high platform in the middle of the meeting hall. It was a throne made of purple gold and copper wood.
Looking at the majestic throne, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
The throne made of purple gold and copper wood on the high platform was created by his father, Yu Hongzhi, after completely suppressing the Cheng and Wu Clans and occupying more than half of Ping Yang City's resources, he used many treasures to create the throne.
The throne made of purple gold and copper wood could not only increase the aura of the throne owner, but also give people a sense of dignity that they did not dare to look directly at. The special materials contained in the throne could also calm one's Qi and concentrate one's spirit, allowing one to maintain a clear mind at all times.
Therefore, the throne in front of him was not only the symbol of the head of the Yu Clan, but it was also an extremely precious treasure.
Suppressing the memories of his father in his heart, Yu Haoran bowed and greeted the seated elders, "Yu Haoran greets all the elders!"
"How dare you, Yu Haoran. As a servant of the clan, you should kneel and greet the elders." Just as Yu Haoran bowed and greeted them, a stern reprimand suddenly came from the left side of the hall.
Looking up, Yu Haoran realized that the person who had reprimanded him was a middle-aged man that he did not recognize.
Needless to say, Yu Haoran also knew that this person must be a trusted aide promoted by the head elder after he came to power. Therefore, he did not have to show any mercy as he reprimanded him angrily.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to reprimand me!"
"You, you, what did you just say …!" The middle-aged man, who had just been promoted to outer clan elder for less than half a year and was enjoying the benefits of power, was instantly enraged by Yu Haoran's reprimand.
Although he really wanted to use his second-grade Martial Master cultivation to slap Yu Haoran to death, he also knew that he could not make a move. If he did, he would be courting death.
Therefore, with nowhere to vent his anger, he could not even speak clearly.
