Hearing the elder's words, Zi Aotian's brows twitched slightly. He turned into a beam of light and entered the Dragon Mark Palace.
The disciples of the four palaces were slightly shocked when they saw this. Perhaps only Zi Aotian would receive such treatment, being able to enter and leave the Dragon Mark Palace at will.
Moreover, they were also guessing what had happened for the Patriarch to personally announce it. After all, the Patriarch rarely showed himself.
Zi Aotian followed the elder into the Dragon Mark Palace. He was extremely curious as to what had happened. Could it be related to Ye Mo?
"Elder, what happened in the clan?"
Zi Aotian asked curiously as he followed behind the elder.
"Due to some mistakes, Clan Leader Zi Kui caused the death of Ye Mo, a bloodline genius. The Patriarch is planning to strip him of his position as clan leader. Perhaps he'll announce something regarding the succession of the next clan leader. You should have a high chance of winning. We'll have to rely on you in the future."
The elder smiled.
"Oh?"
Zi Aotian's brain started working. The rumor of Ye Mo condensing nine Golden Dragon Marks was probably true. Unfortunately, Ye Mo had died before he could even meet Ye Mo.
This was equivalent to an invisible enemy of Zi Aotian's, indirectly helping him to become the next clan leader.
Following that, the elder and Zi Aotian entered the palace.
"Brother Aotian, you're back!"
Zi Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw Zi Aotian. She immediately rushed over.
"Yeah!"
Zi Aotian laughed and walked to the Patriarch. He cupped his hands together and said, "Greetings, Patriarch, greetings, elders."
"Hmm, how's the mission going? Did you kill the Red Lightning Golden Eagle? "
The Patriarch asked calmly.
"No."
Zi Aotian shook his head.
"What? No? "
The surrounding elders were all shocked. They had never expected that Zi Aotian would fail to kill the Red Lightning Golden Eagle.
"How can this be? How can Brother Aotian fail to complete the mission? He has never failed a mission before."
Zi Xuan was disappointed.
"Because I've successfully tamed it. My Beast Control Seal Technique has reached the level of a Heavenly Master."
As Zi AoTian spoke, two of his fingers were already holding onto a talisman. On top of the talisman was a miniature golden eagle, its body flickering with crimson-black lightning.
"Scarlet Thunder Golden Eagle!"
When the Old Ancestor saw the seal in Zi Aotian's hand, his pupils shrank slightly. It was not because the Scarlet Thunder Golden Eagle was strong, but because Zi Aotian was able to tame it. This was enough to show his talent as a Beast Control Seal Master.
This indirectly increased Zi AoTian's chances of becoming the next Clan Chief.
Zi Aotian's bloodline talent aside, his cultivation talent was also terrifying. He had reached the First Transformation of the Wheel before the age of 20, and his golden Dharma Power was that of Chao Feng, who was ranked 19th on the Dharma Rankings.
It was rumored that the Dragon had nine sons, and the Mocking Phoenix was the Dragon's third son. As such, Zi AoTian had inherited the Mocking Phoenix's divine ability, the Mocking Phoenix's Roar.
In addition, Zi Aotian's innate talent in talismans was extremely strong, and he had even reached the level of a rank eight Beast Controlling Talisman Master Heavenly Teacher. In the younger generation, forget about the Primordial Azure Dragon Clan, even in the entire continent, it would be hard to find someone who could match up to him.
"Proud Heaven is really good to be able to subdue the Scarlet Thunder Golden Eagle. I'm afraid that once the Scarlet Thunder Golden Eagle is released, ordinary First Transformation Realm experts will have to run away."
Zi Xing said with a smile.
"Brother Aotian is too powerful. Can you let the Scarlet Flame Golden Eagle fly me around the Azure Dragon Peak later?"
Zi Xuan said with a smile.
"Of course, no problem."
Zi AoTian said.
"Ancestor, I think we should appoint Aotian as the next Clan Chief. He's so young and already so talented. I believe it won't be long before he'll be able to take charge of the clan. All of us elders will wholeheartedly support him."
"That's right, that's right. Aotian is the most suitable candidate."
Several elders began to speak.
"Zi AoTian's talent is indeed strong, but his cultivation is too low. It's too rash for him to be the Clan Chief now. I think we should let Zi Kui continue to be the Clan Chief. Ye Mo's death isn't Zi Kui's fault. The elders should be aware of Zi Kui's performance in the past few years."
"That's right. Based on experience and strength, Elder Zi Ning is the most suitable candidate for the next Clan Chief position."
"Elder Zi Ning? Now that Ye Mo is dead, I'm afraid Elder Zi Ning will hold a grudge against us. "
The elders began to quarrel.
No one was right or wrong. These elders were all thinking for the sake of the clan. But there were also some elders who did things that harmed others for their own benefit.
"All of you, stop arguing. I have my own plans."
The Ancestor frowned and said to Zi Kui, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Zi Kui, you should know that a Nine Golden Dragon Mark Bloodline Awakener is very important to the clan. Now that he's gone, just like that, Ye Mo's death isn't your fault. But it happened because of you. You can take the Clan Chief position for now."
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Zi Kui said.
"AoTian, follow me."
As the Ancestor spoke, he brought Zi AoTian out of the Dragon Mark Palace and onto the platform, looking at the group of disciples waiting for the test.
All the disciples, including the clansmen, knelt down when they saw the Ancestor.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
Everyone said in unison.
"All of you, rise."
The Ancestor waved his sleeve and everyone was lifted up by a gentle force.
"I'm sure all of you are guessing what I'm going to announce today."
The Ancestor smiled faintly and said, "Today, I've discussed with the elders and decided that the next Clan Chief will be Zi AoTian."
Hearing that, Zi AoTian's body trembled. He didn't expect the Ancestor to announce something like this. His heart was filled with joy, but he quickly calmed down. With the Ancestor's personality, it wouldn't be that simple.
"What? Zi AoTian is going to be the next Clan Chief?"
"Is that what the Ancestor is going to announce?"
"But it's nothing surprising. With Zi AoTian's talent, he's indeed qualified to be the next Clan Chief."
Seeing that the clansmen had started to discuss, the Ancestor waved his hand, signaling for them to quiet down. He said, "Of course, to become the next Clan Chief, there will naturally be a test. That is, to get into the top three in the Lingwu Genius Battle. If you don't, who will be the next Clan Chief is still up for debate. Aotian, are you confident?"
"Ancestor, Aotian will definitely not let you down. In the Lingwu Genius Battle, what I want is not to be in the top three, but to be crowned."
As he said the two words crowned, Zi AoTian suddenly let out a roar, activating the Mocking Phoenix's Divine Ability, the Mocking Phoenix's Roar. This roar wasn't loud, but it carried a terrifying aura that spread in all directions. All the disciples felt a terrifying pressure.
"Alright, then I'll go in. The Dragon Rune Palace's test will begin. Aotian, stay here and watch the test."
The Ancestor nodded his head in satisfaction. Without saying anything else, he disappeared from where he stood.
Instantly, Zi AoTian became the focal point of the crowd. Zi AoTian was like a proud and aloof phoenix, emitting light as he stood on the high platform, receiving the worship of all the disciples.
This time, the light he emitted was even more dazzling. If he could get into the top three, he would be able to become the Clan Chief. Furthermore, he might even be the youngest Clan Chief of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.
