The Ye Clan's Elder Council was the organization with the highest authority in the Ye Clan. It included all the big shots of the Ye Clan above the Seventh Heaven of the Heaven Realm. It could be said that even the Patriarch couldn't easily veto the resolutions passed by the Ye Clan's Elder Council.
It was the only existence that could balance the authority of the Clan Lord. However, this Elders Council wouldn't be convened under ordinary circumstances. Because every time it was convened with great fanfare, many old antiques who had always been in closed-door training had to be called out.
Unless they were in closed-door training, as long as it was the Ye Clan's big shots above the Seventh Celestial Realm, the overlords would have to come.
Generally, when the Elders Council convened, it was a matter that would decide the life and death of the Ye Clan.
Generally, the overlords could easily resolve the matter themselves. Even if it was a big matter, the Clan Lord could also resolve it. Even if it was a big matter, the Clan Lord could still resolve it by convening a high-level meeting of the major forces. For example, the matter of the major forces joining forces to pressure Ye Xiwen to hand over the Yin Yang Life and Death Diagram could be resolved by a high-level meeting.
However, this time, it wasn't just related to the Ye Clan. It could even be said that it was related to the cooperation between the human race and the Ancient Phoenix Realm. It wasn't just a matter of the Ye Clan. That was why the Elders Council was convened.
Of course, even in the Elders Council, the ones who had the right to speak were the Heaven Realm experts. They were the real decision-makers of the Ye Clan. Although the Seventh Celestial Realm experts were also known as big shots, they could only be regarded as the executors when faced with the decisions of the Heaven Realm experts.
Ye Xiwen also didn't expect that as soon as he came out of closed-door training, he would have to face the questioning of the Elders Council. This matter was really getting bigger and bigger. However, he didn't care. He was very clear that he had shown enough value. Unless the higher-ups were all idiots, there was no reason not to protect him.
Even so, he still made some preparations and brought You Lian along. There was no harm in being prepared. If it was really necessary, he could only rebel against the Ye Clan.
Soon, Ye Xiwen arrived at the Elders' Assembly. This was a small 'bitwall'. It was shrouded in clouds and mist. Towering thrones were arranged in a row at the top of the clouds. These thrones were arranged according to different levels.
The Ye Family experts above the Seventh Firmament of Heaven Human Realm took their seats one after another.
Ye Xiwen had just arrived when he immediately felt a sharp gaze sweeping over him. Hundreds of gazes were enough to force a Celestial Realm expert to collapse.
Fortunately, Ye Xiwen's strength was extraordinary. At this time, he had even stepped into the seventh heavenly layer of Celestial Being realm. Ten years of accumulation made him calm and collected in the face of this kind of gaze.
After all, during these 10 years, his accumulation wasn't just in strength but also in his mental state. If not, he wouldn't be able to control the strength of an End Realm expert.
"Ye Xiwen!" At that moment, the head of the family, Ye Tianqiong, looked at him and asked, "You don't have to be nervous. I called you here today because I want to ask you about two things. One of them is that as far as we know, the Roc is in your hands, right?"
"That's right!" Ye Xiwen nodded. He originally didn't want to hide this matter. After all, so many people saw the Roc at that time. No matter how he wanted to hide it, it was useless.
Ye Tianqiong also nodded with satisfaction. He could roughly guess the origin of this Roc. After all, Ye Zhentian had reported this matter to him before. At that time, the Jiuying Demon King had fought with the Roc. In the end, the young Roc disappeared, and in the end, it caused a strong conflict between the Beast King led by the Roc and the Demon Clan.
The people were plunged into misery and suffering. The Jiuying Royal Family was completely destroyed. Even many other large tribes of the Demon Clan were affected. Under the anger of the Roc, they were completely turned into ashes.
This matter was definitely a great thing for the Human Clan. At that time, he didn't think that it would actually be related to Ye Xiwen. However, this matter shouldn't be publicized. Otherwise, the relationship with the Demon Clan would worsen.
Ye Xiwen only looked apologetically at his master, Ye Zhentian, who was sitting on the throne. At that time, he chose to hide the matter of the Roc.
"Boy, you are really powerful. Even the Roc has fallen into your hands. However, you don't have to feel guilty. I don't blame you. The less people who know about the Roc, the better. You were right not to tell me. Otherwise, you would have probably handed it over by now. Hahaha!" At this time, Ye Zhentian's comforting voice came into Ye Xiwen's ears. He couldn't bear to blame this proud disciple of his.
Ye Xiwen was relieved and nodded. In fact, he originally planned to hide this matter until the Roc grew strong enough. At that time, he and the Roc Dual Swords would work together, and no one would be able to do anything to the two of them.
However, who knew that such an unforeseen event would happen. As a result, the matter of him having the Roc in his hands became known to everyone. Things suddenly became complicated.
"Ye Xiwen, why did you have the Roc egg in your hands? Why didn't you hand it over?" At this time, a master shouted loudly.
Ye Xiwen looked and saw that it was none other than Ye Qian. All these years, Ye Qian had been brooding over the death of his illegitimate son, Ye Xing, in the hands of Ye Xiwen. However, he couldn't do anything about it. Ye Xiwen's development in these years was too smooth and too fast. When they wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
At this time, it was rare to catch a big handle on Ye Xiwen. How could he not make things difficult for him?
"Ha, this is really funny. Which family rule says that one must hand over their gains?" Ye Xiwen sneered and said. He had nothing to lose now. Anyway, he had already subdued the Roc. Others could do whatever they wanted.
Moreover, he had always been in the right. The family rules did not say that once a person had a fortuitous encounter, he must hand it over. If this was really the case, then the Ye Clan would probably collapse overnight.
The separation of people's hearts was more terrible than anything else.
Ye Qian and many other people with ulterior motives were stumped by this question. Indeed, the Ye Clan did not have such a rule. However, everyone also admitted that if this fortuitous encounter was related to the development of the Ye Clan, then it must be handed over and the Ye Clan would also give compensation depending on the situation.
However, this matter was only recognized by everyone. It was not written into the family rules. Why? It was because they were afraid that someone would abuse their power and deprive the younger generation of the fortuitous encounter.
Now, Ye Xiwen had taken advantage of this loophole without any explicit rules. However, they had nothing to say and could not say anything.
This made them so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
"Ye Xiwen, although the family rules did not stipulate this, the Roc is naturally an exception. Once the Roc grows up, it can become the guardian of the clan for the next tens of thousands of years, or even longer. Do you know how important this is? Moreover, with your financial resources, how can you compare with the family? Only with the strength of the entire clan can we possibly raise the Roc. Handing it over to the family is better than having it in your hands. When the time comes, the family will not forget your contribution and will give you great benefits!! " At this moment, another elder spoke up. It was another celestial realm expert that Ye Xiwen had never seen before. At this moment, he was very aggressive, as if Ye Xiwen not handing over the Kun Peng was a serious crime.
Ye Xiwen sneered. The value of the Roc was simply incalculable. When the time comes, what would the family give him to make up for it?
Did they really think that he was a fool?
He just looked at this elder coldly and said, "Sorry, you guys are playing around. I have already subdued the Roc and made it recognize me as its master, so there is no other way!"
This sentence suddenly made those elders who had ulterior motives feel like vomiting blood. They had already thought that this might be the case. After all, if Ye Xiwen didn't make full preparations, would he dare to let this young Kun Peng run around?
The Roc was born with intelligence and also had innate inheritance. If it was not subdued in advance and made it recognize him as its master, once the Roc was born, it would be a disaster for them. At that time, it would be impossible to make the Roc recognize him as its master. It was very difficult for a creature that already had intelligence to forcibly recognize a master, not to mention an ancient fierce beast like the Roc. How could they not have any precautions at all?
But although they had long been prepared, after hearing what Ye Xiwen said, they still felt depressed to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
In particular, those conservative elders looked at Ye Xiwen with even more unkind eyes. This brat was simply an ungrateful and ungrateful wolf. How many benefits had the clan given him? Just a trifling Kunpeng? Was there a need to be so guarded against him?
However, if it was really just a 'trivial' Kun Peng, then there was no need for the Elder Assembly to deal with it. The importance of this matter was directly comparable to the matter of Ye Xiwen defeating the Phoenix Sect.
Ye Xiwen's words made many elders who had ulterior motives a little depressed.
"It will be even better if it recognizes you as its master. Just give it to our family to feed, so that it can grow even more!" Ye Qian said.
At this time, many people's eyes lit up. Indeed, the Roc had indeed recognized him as its master, but as long as they could control Ye Xiwen, wouldn't that mean that they could also control the Roc?
"Yes, I also think that Elder Ye Qian is right!"
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Suddenly, there was a chorus of agreement. In the face of these people's agreement, Ye Xiwen could not help but sneer, and then said, "I don't think it is so troublesome. Since the family values this Roc so much, then just give the resources to me, and I will feed the Roc. Isn't this the best of both worlds!"
"Presumptuous!" After being said by Ye Xiwen, suddenly an elder could not help but angrily rebuked. His plan had failed again. "Can you take care of it better than our family?"
