The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 1652: Elders Council of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom


Chapter 1652: Chapter 1652: Elders Council of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom

Throughout the Shenzhou Continent.

Including Heavenly Venerable Lu and other top-ranked Immortal Emperors, all witnessed Xia Yao effortlessly slaying hundreds of convicts, among them, even three eighty-one layered Immortal Emperors!

This matter was shocking.

"Truly worthy of being the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, Xia Yao’s Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron is really formidable, hundreds of Immortal Emperors, annihilated in an instant."

Someone exclaimed.

"Strange, how did Xia Yao come to be with Ye Feng? Could it be that the two are in that kind of relationship?"

Some also speculated wildly.

"I heard Ye Feng doesn’t have a Dao partner, and Xia Yao doesn’t either. Both are top-tier geniuses within the Invincible Domain, with identities and statuses that match, it really seems possible they have reached that step."

"That’s true!"

"If not, how could Xia Yao leave the boundaries of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and use the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron to help Ye Feng eliminate these fugitives from the Black Prison."

All forces and powerhouses discussed vigorously.

"Ye Feng is really blessed, himself being just a fifty or sixty layered Immortal Emperor, unable to kill an eighty-one layered Immortal Emperor, so relying on Xia Yao."

"Living off a woman’s support is shameful!"

"Shameful? If living off someone’s support means being supported by the State Preceptor Xia Yao of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, I’d like to try it too!"

"You... actually, I want to try it too."

Quite a few people also discussed the aspect of living off support, believing Ye Feng must be good in some regard, making Xia Yao very satisfied, hence receiving her help.

...

At the peak of Misty Peak.

Ye Feng guarded the Evil Thought Fruit before him as it gradually grew larger, noticing it had already expanded a few times; in about three days, it would reach maturity.

"People from various factions talk too much."

A voice echoed beside Ye Feng’s ear.

He turned his head to look.

Only to see Hu Feifei had completely absorbed the energy from those hundreds of convicts, breaking through a small realm.

Beside her, Huo Lingjiao looked furious.

She clearly heard people from various factions saying Ye Feng was living off Xia Yao’s support, and some said Xia Yao was just a wealthy woman, liking Ye Feng’s pretty face.

Additionally, there were various other comments.

"Why bother with them?"

Ye Feng didn’t get angry.

Living off a woman’s support?

Right now, he was preserving his own strength, borrowing Xia Yao’s power; being labeled as living off a woman’s support was somewhat understandable.

"I must remain calm until those hidden big fish all surface, that’s when my methods will be revealed. For now, I must appear weak."

Ye Feng pondered.

Xia Yao glanced at Ye Feng, seeing he didn’t avoid the matter of "living off a woman’s support," her beautiful face couldn’t help but slightly redden, saying:

"Living off support is living off support. Nowadays, I have the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, capable of assisting Sect Master Ye in handling many tricky affairs, naturally I must help. When I retire from the State Preceptor position and join Misty Sect later, I’ll have to rely on Sect Master Ye’s support!"

Her meaning was very clear.

Now she helps Ye Feng, but in the future, Ye Feng would help her.

"Hehe, I don’t think that’s all there is to it!"

Huo Lingjiao covered her mouth with laughter, her teasing gaze swept between Ye Feng and Xia Yao, feeling these two had a good chance of becoming a pair.

...

Within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

Here stood a long-standing grand hall.

Today, all eighteen seats inside were occupied by figures shrouded in mist.

"National Adviser Xia is too reckless!"

A woman spoke first.

"Indeed, as our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom’s National Adviser, possessing the esteemed Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, she should stand on the side of absolute justice, how could she so brazenly support a certain faction?"

"She must be summoned back!"

Two mysterious figures also spoke up to censure.

"Perhaps we should petition to remove Xia Yao’s position as National Adviser and revoke the use of the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron?"

One figure asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the hall quickly fell silent.

"Impossible!" An elder spoke, "Although Xia Yao’s position as National Adviser was granted by us, we were merely assessors back then, unqualified to revoke her usage of the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron. Moreover, even if we all join forces, we can’t resist the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron. If she disagrees with our decision and uses the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron against us, wouldn’t it be..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell into silence again.

Each of them was above the ninety-layer realm, top-ranked Immortal Emperors comprising the Elders Council within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom. All past State Preceptors were granted the use of the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron after selection by the Elders Council.

But!

The Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron was too formidable!

Once anyone becomes National Adviser and gains usage of this artifact, they immediately become the leading figures in the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, second only to those nine Supreme Divine Kings.

Even though the eighteen of them were members of the Elders Council within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, they were inferior to the National Adviser.

In status and standing, they were naturally a notch below.

"Send a message to Xia Yao, asking her to return."

"We can’t defeat her, but as her initial assessors, our Elders Council can unanimously pass a resolution to summon her, she’ll definitely return for a period without intervening in Ye Feng’s matters."

"Indeed."

Numerous Elders expressed agreement.

"Then, let’s vote!"

"Elders in favor of summoning Xia Yao back, raise your hands."

In the next moment, one after another ninety-layer and above Immortal Emperors raised their hands.

"Thirteen agree, five oppose."

"The number agreeing is more than twice those opposing, so we pass the decision, and immediately send an Elder Council Token summoning National Adviser Xia Yao back."

Half an hour later.

A simple token flew into the sky, instantly tearing through space, disappearing without a trace.

...

Misty Peak.

Xia Yao was watching Ye Feng cultivate the Evil Thought Fruit, while Huo Lingjiao and Hu Feifei were studying how to charcoal grill various Spirit Fish, the aroma was tantalizing.

Rustle!

An ancient token suddenly flew over, hovering in front of Xia Yao, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly.

"What is that?"

Ye Feng pointed at the token.

"It’s the Ancient Order from the Elders Council of our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, possessing extremely high authority. It seems something has happened within the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and they want me back."

Xia Yao explained.

Immediately, she grabbed the token, received the message from the Elders Council of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and upon learning that the Elders Council was summoning her back, she said, "I’ll head back to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, call me the next time we set out."

"Alright." Ye Feng nodded.

...

Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, Elders’ Hall.

This was Xia Yao’s third time inside.

The first time, it was for her State Preceptor’s assessment.

The second time, was when she passed the State Preceptor’s assessment and obtained the recognition of the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron kept here, becoming the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

The third time, is today.

Inside the grand hall.

Xia Yao’s hands naturally hung down as she looked at the eighteen ninety-layer Immortal Emperors sitting on both sides of the hall.

"Greetings to all the Elders."

Now, she was the State Preceptor of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom, and in terms of status, she was only below the nine hundred-layer Immortal Emperor level Supreme Divine Kings who were in seclusion, slightly higher than the Elders Council.

Therefore, she just cupped her hands lightly.

"State Preceptor, you finally returned."

An elderly woman smiled and said.

"Seeing as the Elders summoned me back, could it be that some major event has occurred within the Divine Kingdom?" Xia Yao surveyed her surroundings, feeling that the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom was quite peaceful and no problems should have arisen. Why, then, summon her back?

She was truly puzzled.

"State Preceptor, we’ve heard you’ve been helping the Sect Master Ye Feng of the Shenzhou Misty Sect in killing people lately?"

The elderly woman inquired.

"Yes." Xia Yao nodded.

"State Preceptor, you should know that your duty is to maintain the balance of the Universe, right? Yet now, you are assisting a certain force in the Universe to kill people from other forces. Aren’t you afraid of causing an imbalance in the Universe?"

The elderly woman’s voice deepened.

"Those people are all ancient prisoners who escaped from the Black Prison, utterly evil, deserving of death. I’m helping Sect Master Ye hunt them to precisely maintain the balance of the Universe. Otherwise, should they run rampant and massacre the cosmic beings on a large scale, it would be too late."

Xia Yao said solemnly.

"Oh, they actually are Black Prison convicts?"

An old man was surprised.

"Precisely." Xia Yao nodded, and with a wave of her hand, she displayed images of the various sinister deeds those ancient prisoners had committed before.

The Elders saw the images and showed varied expressions.

"Indeed, they are utterly evil!"

"These people truly deserve to be killed."

"The State Preceptor did well."

Many Elders expressed their approval.

"Nonsense!" The elderly woman suddenly slammed the armrest of her seat, "State Preceptor, even if they are Black Prison convicts, it’s not your place to kill them. They hadn’t started a large-scale massacre after escaping the Black Prison, but you killing them directly could raise suspicions."

"Yes, this is not a good thing, and if too many question you, it would severely tarnish the reputation of our Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom. After all, we are a completely neutral force."

A middle-aged man with a hoarse voice spoke.

"I suggest that State Preceptor should stop aiding Ye Feng in hunting Black Prison convicts. If Ye Feng wants them killed, let him do it himself." Another person chimed in.

"Exactly!"

Several Elders echoed.

The Elders’ Hall soon divided into two factions—one supporting Xia Yao, hoping she would kill more convicts, and the other wishing she would cease these actions.

"So, the reason the Elders called me back was just to discuss this?" Xia Yao laughed.

Looking into past generations of State Preceptors who died tragically and noting certain Elders’ words, she realized instantly that there must be sinister individuals within the Elders Council.

"State Preceptor, remember, though you are the State Preceptor now, it won’t always be so."

"Besides, we were the ones who promoted you."

"State Preceptor, do not stray onto a crooked path."

A few Elders said with a heavy tone.

"Threatening me?" Xia Yao’s gaze turned cold as she swept over those Elders. She snorted coldly, heading towards the door of the Elders’ Hall, "I’m tired."

"Xia Yao, how dare you!"

As Xia Yao walked out of the Elders’ Hall, many Elders scolded her, yet remembering that Xia Yao had the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, they dared not act against her.

"Xia Yao is truly arrogant!"

"Exactly, she even dares to reject the advice of our Elders Council. If she didn’t have the Purple Fragrance Divine King Cauldron, I would definitely teach her a lesson."

Some Elders repeatedly criticized.

Among the Elders’ seats.

Some Elders remained indifferent, while others stared at Xia Yao’s departing figure with vicious eyes.

...

Misty Peak.

Xia Yao had returned.

"Back so soon?" Ye Feng glanced at Xia Yao in surprise, noticing her ugly expression, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Did something troublesome happen?"

"Hmm." Xia Yao nodded.

"Yaoyao, what happened?" Huo Lingjiao immediately put down the grilled fish in her hand and walked over.
