The people of the Tianyin Clan were all in a panic.

At a loss for what to do.

If they leave now, they will certainly be isolated by members of the other Eight Great Clans.

After all, offending the heir of the Dragon Clan is no small matter.

A child who seemed quite young standing behind the old lady looked up, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Ancestor... what is the Dragon Clan? Is the Dragon Clan stronger than our Tianyin Clan?"

This question made the other Eight Clans sneer repeatedly.

No one answered the little girl's question.

Because the answer was obvious.

Their ancestor stabilized her figure, returned to calm, her gaze deep, she gently touched the little girl's forehead and softly said:

"The Dragon Clan... is not only stronger than our Tianyin Clan. The Dragon Clan is stronger than any clan present here... and by far. Legend has it that the Dragon Clan is an ancient clan of Huaxia, from which various clans extended... Some say the Ten Great Bloodlines also separated from the Dragon Clan. Among them, the True Dragon Clan is... The Dragon Clan's power is beyond imagination. They innately possess extremely high cultivation talents, several times more than the Ten Great Bloodlines, with understanding and strength far superior to others... Moreover, the Dragon Clan has an extremely terrifying characteristic—that they are born with Five Elements Attribute and can convert freely."

Silence.

The members of the Tianyin Clan were all silent.

It was hard to say how much time had passed.

The clan leader of the Yingzhao Clan, standing beside, said indifferently, "Tianyin Ancestor, since you know, you should be clear about the consequences of offending His Highness. According to the Dragon Clan's rules, it is a capital offense! Today is the banquet of our Ten Great Bloodlines, with all except the Elf Clan, nine clans gathered... Let alone your entire Tianyin Clan, even our Eight Clans may not be able to protect you. You must know... only the Dragon Clan can reach the Full Saint Realm in this world. On the Saint List, only the Dragon Clan people can enter... Full Saint Saint, you better think carefully."

Upon hearing this.

The face of the Tianyin Ancestor turned pale.

"Ancestor, is there truly a Full Saint in this world?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Since human cultivation began, it has been smooth and unrestricted... upon reaching Full Saint, one can shatter the void and become a revered Saint. It is said that throughout the Nine Provinces of Huaxia Continent, from ancient to modern times, spanning nearly ten thousand years, there hasn't been a single Full Saint! In the entire splendid thirty thousand years of Ancient Times, only five Full Saints were born..."

Everyone gasped.

"Therefore... on the Nine Provinces of Huaxia Continent, cultivators often do not mention Full Saints because it is an unattainable level! In this ten thousand years, our Ten Great Bloodlines hold absolute dominance... The Dragon Clan rarely concerns themselves with worldly matters, considering themselves above humans, holding supreme bloodlines, worshiping dragons, taking them as totems and receiving the favor of the heavens!"

Tianyin Clan people remained silent.

The more this matter was heard, the more it chilled the heart.

"Then isn't the Dragon Clan invincible? My heavens—what have I done?" the woman behind exclaimed in panic.

The ancestor shook her head and said, "I wouldn't dare to say invincible... notice my careful phrasing, in this world, Dragon Clan members can achieve Full Saint, but how could cultivators only be humans!? Our Ten Great Bloodlines aren't strictly true humans! True humans, bound by Heaven and Earth Laws, simply cannot become Saint Level cultivators! Throughout Ancient Times... there was only one ordinary human who became a Saint, known as the Human Emperor!"

The words of the Tianyin Ancestor continuously shook their souls.

Yet this knowledge, for other clan leaders, was merely somewhat obscure common knowledge.

The clan leader of the Yingzhao Clan sneered, "What does this have to do with the Human Emperor? Whether the Dragon Clan is invincible, I don't know... All I know is that throughout human history, the Dragon Clan has always been the backbone against the Alien Clan! And... you all stop spreading knowledge, I advise you to quickly leave... if you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"

The Tianyin Clan people shivered.

The Tianyin Clan excels in support, with high augmentation, thus they are respected by other clans. But in terms of combat, they are indeed lacking.

The shout from the Yingzhao Clan leader put them in an extremely difficult position.

At this moment.

The Tianyin Ancestor, unperturbed, bowed and said, "Fellow colleagues... no matter what is said, our Tianyin Clan has fought alongside you before, and will surely continue to cooperate diligently. On the old woman's account, lend a hand, the offense against the Dragon Clan is a grave sin, if it leads to the extinction of our clan, the old woman would be a sinner of the ages!!"

With that, the ancestor bowed herself down.

Upon seeing this.

The woman who spoke disrespectfully earlier fell to her knees and said, "Ancestor, it's all my fault... it's all on me—You mustn't do this, otherwise, I'll go apologize, I'll plead with His Highness, I'm willing to take full responsibility!"

The ancestor pushed her hand away and said, "This is a matter of the entire clan, not something you alone can resolve! Step aside..."

Seeing them pulling and tugging.

The clan leader of the Tianmai Clan sighed and said, "So be it... our Eight Clans have never had a falling out with the Tianyin Clan... Directly helping you isn't very realistic, but I can offer you a suggestion."

Upon hearing this.

The ancestor beamed with joy and bowed, "Please, Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, enlighten us."

"The method is simple... since the two young ladies by His Highness's side are from your Tianyin Clan. It would be wise to start with them. I see His Highness shows much affection for the younger lady, if you manage this relationship well, His Highness might not only forgive you but even develop special fondness for you! Tianyin Ancestor, you really don't appreciate your luck... if I were you, I'd be laughing even in my sleep!"

Once these words were spoken.

The Tianyin Ancestor's eyes gleamed, and she promptly bowed, "Thank you, Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, for showing the way, Jiang Hongxiu is deeply grateful! We'll repay this kindness someday... Let's go!"

With that.

The old lady led the women of the Tianyin Clan swiftly away from the banquet area.

...

As they watched them leave.

The remaining Eight Clans exchanged glances.

"The Tianyin Clan has this good fortune... but us Eight Clans don't have it this good... As for the remaining issue, everyone consider how we should resolve it?" The clan leaders gathered together to discuss strategies.

"I think... throughout this matter, the True Dragon Clan undoubtedly bears a portion of the responsibility. Brother Huangfu, the death of the Holy Son, I grieve for you. But there's no help for it, after all, the one offended was the Dragon Clan's heir, right? And although the Dragon Clan heir says they want harmony, they may still harbor grudges against you. If you wish to preserve your True Dragon Clan, you must humbly beg pardon... at that time, we can accompany you to speak on your behalf, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded, looking at Huangfu Zhan.
