“Clan Chief Yun, the third ancestor of the Jiang family is at the peak of the ninth level, only one step away from the Immortal Realm,” Tang Hua said, gripping his cane tightly.
It's not that he wants to boost others' morale while diminishing his own.
But since Jiang Huai-ren suffered such a huge setback here today, he certainly won't let it go easily.
"I told you, I'm here for you," Yun Yue said confidently.
When he encountered Jiang Sanzu's clone at the Canglan River, he was no match for him.
But if they met again now, he was confident he would win.
After all, he now possesses dual spiritual roots and has even comprehended a supreme spiritual technique from Miss Bai's poem.
Moreover, after traveling with Miss Bai to Shadow Moon Island, his cultivation level rapidly rose to the early to late stages of the ninth level of the Half-Step Immortal Realm.
I imagine it won't be long before I reach the mid-stage of the ninth level.
That's why it was so easy for him to beat up Jiang Huai Ren, who was at the peak of the eighth level.
After all, each realm is a different world.
Although his current level is not as high as Jiang Sanzu's, he has "dragon scales" to protect him.
Besides, he can also call in reinforcements.
Putting aside others, just look at the Great Sage; he could easily kill that guy.
The Great Sage is truly invincible below the level of immortals.
“I believe in Brother Yun.” Tang Qian stepped forward and said, “Tang Xing, let everyone step back and appease everyone.”
"Don't worry, Father." Tang Xing nodded.
"Elders, please follow me." Tang Qian said, then turned to Yun Yue: "Brother Yun, please."
"Mm." Yun Yue nodded.
Soon, Tang Qian invited Yun Yue to the council hall and also asked all the elders to take their seats.
"Today, we owe a great debt to Brother Yun," Tang Qian said, bowing respectfully.
“Our two families are close friends, and now our children are in-laws, so let’s not be so formal.” Yun Yue quickly helped Tang Qian up. “Besides, this whole thing started because of me.”
"What does Chief Yun mean by that?" Tang Hua asked.
"I called you all here for this matter. The azure light just now wasn't the appearance of a great treasure, but something Brother Yun brought," Tang Qian said.
"Brought by Chief Yun?" The elders were all taken aback, and at the same time felt a little disappointed.
They initially thought it was a blessing from heaven for the Tang family, but little did they expect...
“Yes.” Yun Yue said, taking the box out again: “This is a token. I’ve been entrusted to retrieve an item that was entrusted to your clan.”
Upon hearing Yun Yue's words, the expressions of the elders changed drastically.
When the word "deposit" was mentioned, they almost instantly thought of "Dark Stream Dragon Land".
"Brother Yun, are you talking about the Dark Abyss Dragon Land?" Tang Qian asked.
“That’s right.” Yun Yue said, opening the box: “This is the token, the dragon scale.”
All the elders looked up excitedly.
But no matter how you look at it, it seems to be just an ordinary blue scale.
There's nothing particularly unusual about it.
However, Tang Qian had already heard Yun Yue recount his experiences over this period in detail and had personally witnessed the scene of the azure light soaring into the sky.
And just now, outside the Tang family's gate, Yun Yue fought against Jiang Huai Ren.
Even more so, there is the bond between their two clans.
Therefore, he believed Yun Yue and also believed that it was a genuine token.
"The Dark Abyss Dragon Soil is treasured in the Secret Treasure Pavilion..."
Tang Qian had just opened his mouth when an elder interrupted him: "Clan leader..."
The elder was young-looking, tall and thin, and had a scholarly air about him.
"Clan Chief Yun, the Dark Abyss Dragon Soil is a treasure of our clan. Is it really appropriate for you to just exchange it for a single scale like that?"
Yun Yue raised his eyes and glanced at the elder, who looked particularly unfamiliar.
The two clans had a good relationship, and because they were related by marriage, they visited each other frequently, so he knew all the high-ranking members of the clans.
Not only do we recognize them, but we also have a good relationship with many of them.
But this elder seemed to be someone I had never seen before.
"Brother Tang, who is this? Is he also an elder of your clan?" Yun Yue asked.
Yun Yue was genuinely curious about who this person was, hence the question.
But the elder seemed to have suffered a tremendous insult; his face flushed crimson, and even his eyes turned red: "You..."
“He is Tang Jun, a newly appointed elder. He has only been in the Elders’ Council for half a year. This should be the first time you’ve met him,” Tang Qian said.
"I see, no wonder you look unfamiliar." Yun Yue nodded.
"Our Tang family's Elders' Hall doesn't need Clan Chief Yun to be familiar with it, does it?" Tang Jun said, pursing his lips and looking at people with a disdainful expression.
Among the elders, he was the least senior, and therefore disliked being talked about the most.
“Tang Jun…” Tang Qian’s face darkened.
"You're right, the affairs of your Elders' Council are indeed none of my business," Yun Yue sneered.
"However, wasn't that Dark Abyss Dragon Soil entrusted to your clan by someone else? How did it become your clan's most precious treasure?" Yun Yue asked again.
Tang Jun was indignant and wanted to speak, but Tang Qian glared at him and shut him up.
Tang Hua also pressed down on his shoulder, and a vast amount of spiritual power surged out, making it impossible for him to stand up.
“Brother Tang, please ask him to leave.” Yun Yue pointed at Tang Jun and said, “He cannot listen to what I am about to say.”
"This is the Tang family, and I am also a member of the Elders' Council. Why should I leave?" Tang Jun shouted immediately. "If anyone is to leave, it's you, an outsider."
"Tang Jun, get out," Tang Qian snapped.
"Clan leader, I am also a member of our Tang family, and an elder of the Elders' Hall. Why am I not allowed to participate in the meetings? I am not satisfied." Tang Jun clenched his fingers.
"This isn't a family meeting; I have something to say." Yun Yue looked at Tang Jun as if he were an idiot.
Tang Jun was speechless.
"Tang Jun, I'm saying this one last time, get out." Tang Qian emphasized.
"Yes." Tang Jun's face turned even redder, and he glared fiercely at Yun Yue before leaving.
After Tang Jun left, Yun Yue then unleashed a spiritual energy shield, covering the entire council hall.
Anyone whose cultivation level is lower than his cannot get close enough to eavesdrop.
To be on the safe side, Tang Qian also waved to cover one of them.
"Tang Jun was promoted to elder for his meritorious service in rescuing people, but his qualifications and cultivation level were not up to par. We were already evaluating him, but we didn't expect..." Tang Hua sighed.
"Expel him from the Elders' Council," Tang Qian declared decisively.
"Yes." Tang Hua nodded.
Such character is indeed not suitable for being a clan elder; he should just be a regular clansman.
"Everyone here, we've known each other for many years, and I know your character, so I won't waste any more words."
Yun Yue pushed the box in front of everyone and said, "I swear on my life that this box contains real dragon scales."
"Real dragon scales? Does Chief Yun mean these are scales from a dragon after it has transformed into a dragon?" Tang Hua asked.
Yun Yue shook his head: "The real dragon scales I'm talking about are the tail scales of the divine beast Azure Dragon."
