178: Chapter 178 Gone

"Elders, if there is something to discuss, it is better to sit down and talk. Do not let outsiders make a joke of us."

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Clan Chief Ao Yi let out a sigh of relief.

In front of the crowd, he regained his dignity as Clan Chief.

"Since the Clan Chief has said so, I naturally have no problem with it. However, you should still discuss it with the Grand Elder. Regardless, Yuan Chen can go wherever he wants. Besides..."

"Heh, even if Yuan Chen wants to leave now, you wouldn't be able to stop him, would you?"

Great Elder Ao Yin glared at Elder Hei Yan with an unfriendly expression.

"Heh, you little smart aleck, you really hit a sore spot."

He never expected that simply trying to capture Yuan Chen would end up with him being unable to back down.

"We will discuss this later."

Clan Chief Ao Yi hurriedly spoke first to silence everyone.

Then, he flicked his robes, flew to the highest point, and looked indifferently at the outsiders.

"Everyone, have you seen enough of the show? Is it time for you to take your leave?"

"Don't be like that, Clan Chief Ao Yi. We don't know the situation yet. From what you said, it seems to involve Yuan Chen. Tell us, what is going on?"

It was the Second Elder of the Swallowing Frog Clan, wearing a look of eager anticipation for gossip.

"Hmph, it would be better for you all to leave on your own. Once the Dragon Clan's grand formation is activated, do not make me personally escort you out."

It feels so good to be in front of outsiders!

Without saying a word, both sides that were just fighting intensely were now standing behind him, glaring menacingly at the intruders.

"Stingy!"

The Swallowing Frog Clan member curled his lips. But knowing that the Dragon Clan could occupy the best territory and push the four clans to the edge, he knew the opponent's strength.

It was not wise to truly provoke them.

After grumbling a bit, he led his people away.

The other clans, seeing there was nothing more to see, also retreated with their people.

However, although they left the Dragon Domain, they did not go far.

They still wanted to wait and have their hidden agents within the Dragon Domain find out what had happened.

"Two Elders, let's talk."

After everyone left, Clan Chief Ao Yi smacked his lips and looked kindly at Elder Hei Yan and Great Elder Ao Yin.

Returning to the interior of the Dragon Clan, his Aura deflated again.

"Sigh! It's all just for show!"

"How shall we talk?"

Elder Hei Yan looked at Clan Chief Ao Yi in confusion.

Great Elder Ao Yin spoke slowly, "Either Yuan Chen or Yuan Yun must stay."

It was very firm, and the tone brooked no refusal.

"Damn it, fight him."

Yuan Chen was also a bit stunned.

"Big Brother, you couldn't even beat us just now. How dare you speak like this?"

Without a word, he pulled out his Puppet again.

"Stop!"

Clan Chief Ao Yi shouted anxiously, feeling a slight headache.

He was even more resentful towards his own Grand Elder.

"What are you trying to do? We were originally a happy family. You've made everyone turn against each other. It has even escalated to drawing weapons. Now that things are like this, you are still throwing your Grand Elder temper. I don't care anymore, can you even beat them? Why do you always make people worry?"

But the other party was his Elder, and he couldn't scold him. He felt depressed.

Great Elder Ao Yin's eyes turned cold, but after thinking about it, he shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Clan Chief Ao Yi was about to continue saying something, but was directly interrupted by Elder Hei Yan.

"Clan Chief, there is no need to mediate. Let me tell you something."

Clan Chief Ao Yi was stunned: "What is it?"

Elder Hei Yan spread his hands.

"You have already seen the current situation. Yuan Chen and the Grand Elder are at an impasse, and I feel the problem lies with the Grand Elder. But if I were to ask you to punish him, would you agree?"

Without waiting for Clan Chief Ao Yi to speak, he gave the answer directly: "You definitely wouldn't agree, right?"

He continued to speak on his own.

"But just now, we stepped forward to help Yuan Chen. My Black Dragon Clan will definitely be suppressed by the Grand Elder. Your Golden Dragon Clan is powerful, so we can't say anything..."

"So?"

Clan Chief Ao Yi's eyes darkened, and he had a bad premonition.

"So, my Black Dragon Clan will secede from the Dragon Clan and follow Yuan Chen to establish a new Dragon Clan."

Elder Hei Yan glanced at his Black Dragon Clan brothers and said slowly.

Before this, he had already consulted with the Black Dragon Clan Chief.

He guaranteed that following Yuan Chen would certainly not be a loss, and even if they were punished by the Dragon Clan after Ascension, it would be worth it.

After all, by splitting the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan's strength would definitely decrease significantly, and no one here could control him.

He would certainly be punished after going up.

But he believed that with Yuan Chen's conditions and abilities, even after going up, the Dragon Clan would still favor Yuan Chen.

Besides, the Grand Elder interfered in the Clan Chief's affairs and could not be fair and just; the other party also had responsibility.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief still had great faith in Elder Hei Yan.

After secretly communicating with several Elders, he finally agreed.

"No!"

Clan Chief Ao Yi exclaimed, cold sweat almost breaking out.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Isn't it better for everyone to play together happily?"

Yuan Chen was also stunned.

He did not expect Elder Hei Yan to make such a decision.

However, since the other party was willing to follow him, he had no reason to push them away.

He stood to the side without speaking.

"Elder Hei Yan, do you know what you are saying?"

Great Elder Ao Yin looked at Elder Hei Yan with burning rage.

"I know, but I am just not convinced. Great Elder, you cannot be fair and just, so we will follow someone else who can give us fairness and justice. You refuse to acknowledge Yuan Chen and Yuan Yun's status as Top-tier Divine Beasts, but I recognize them."

Elder Hei Yan spoke righteously, and the Black Dragon Clan members nodded secretly.

"Ninth Elder, my Golden Dragon Clan will not deliberately suppress you afterwards."

Clan Chief Ao Yi said with a hint of pleading.

Elder Hei Yan shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"Ninth Elder, I also didn't say I wouldn't recognize Yuan Chen's status. Didn't I say we should discuss it properly?"

"I don't care. Your previous performance has already explained everything."

"Ninth Elder, seceding from the Dragon Clan is not a child's game. If you have any requests, state them first. If there is any injustice, we can slowly deal with it. There will always be a time when everyone is satisfied."

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I just want to leave."

Elder Hei Yan was also getting anxious.

Clan Chief Ao Yi: "..."

He looked at Elder Hei Yan strangely.

This appearance made it seem like he couldn't wait to leave the Dragon Clan right now.

Was it really just because of the Grand Elder's unfairness?

Thinking of the dragon cubs in Yuan Chen's family, he instantly understood Elder Hei Yan's little schemes.

"Grand Elder, you have ruined me!"

He gave a bitter smile.

He secretly transmitted his voice to the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, how about we concede? Losing the Black Dragon Clan will definitely cause the overall strength of the Dragon Clan to drop significantly. Moreover, Yuan Chen's family... we cannot let Yuan Yun go either; we must still be on good terms."

He spoke gently and sincerely, in a soft voice.

As a result, the Grand Elder shook his head: "I won't!"

"..." Clan Chief Ao Yi looked at the Grand Elder gloomily.

"What exactly are you trying to do? And, and, and... I won't~ nianiania, hmph, I can't even learn that!"

He took a deep breath.

"Ninth Elder..."

"Yuan Chen, we will leave in a moment!"

After speaking, Elder Hei Yan took a deep look at Clan Chief Ao Yi, and without waiting for the other party to say anything else, he walked directly to Yuan Chen.

He then said to the Black Dragon Clan members: "Go back and pack your things, we are leaving immediately."

The Black Dragon Clan members looked at each other and immediately scattered.

Clan Chief Ao Yi opened his mouth, staring blankly at the receding figures of the Black Dragons and the Silver Dragons.

"Silver Dragon figures... Wait, Silver Dragon Clan, what are you doing?"
