324: The supervisory envoy of the East Tower, the seal of the sea eye.

Zhu Yun Great Emperor and Situ Haowen both had thoughtful expressions upon hearing Chu Yun's words.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yun Great Emperor immediately spoke again, "Chu Emperor, although this matter was orchestrated by the traitor Cao Qingyang."

"But to have Xu Nian fall into such a predicament and suffer such injustice, I feel deeply remorseful."

"To compensate Xu Nian, I have decided to appoint him as the Inspector Special Envoy of my East Tower!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Haowen, Zhuge Jinguang, and even Xu Nian himself, all looked bewildered and blank-faced.

"Inspector Special Envoy?"

"Senior Zhu, what kind of position is that?" Chu Yun inquired.

"The Inspector Special Envoy has the right to oversee all high-ranking officials within my East Tower, and can report directly to me."

"In other words, from now on, Xu Nian will be my eyes; I will learn about all situations within the tower through Xu Nian," Zhu Yun Great Emperor explained.

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhuge Jinguang and Situ Haowen understood.

This was their Tower Lord's way of elevating Xu Nian's status and position to gain Chu Yun's favor.

With Xu Nian becoming the Inspector Special Envoy of the East Tower, their Tower Lord would henceforth obtain all information about the tower through Xu Nian.

This way, Xu Nian could say whatever he wanted, completely seizing the absolute initiative.

It could be said that with Xu Nian as the Inspector Special Envoy, even without Chu Yun present, Zhuge Jinguang and Situ Haowen would have to be somewhat wary of him.

If he were to speak ill of them to the Tower Lord, it would undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to both of them.

Chu Yun also understood the subtle implications and, somewhat satisfied, said, "This Emperor thinks it's acceptable."

"Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Nian smiled faintly, "I naturally have no problem."

"Thank you, Tower Lord."

Zhu Yun Great Emperor laughed heartily, "Since there are no problems, then it's settled!"

After resolving Xu Nian's matter, Chu Yun and his group re-boarded the flying spirit boat and returned to the Holy Land.

Along the way.

"You didn't completely eradicate him, aren't you worried that Zhuge Jinguang might pose a threat to the Great Xia Dynasty in the future?"

At this moment, Afuya stood on the deck, looking at Chu Yun as she asked.

Chu Yun's expression was calm, "His talent ceiling is at most that of a Great Emperor. If he's a smart person, then he won't seek death."

"He made a smart choice before, so giving him a chance is fine."

"After all, Yan Yu Great Emperor helped me a lot. If I were to directly cause him to lose a Vice Tower Lord of his main tower upon reaching his territory, that would indeed be quite inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, Afuya nodded, "That's true."

"Never mind, since the matter has been resolved, let's not bring it up again."

"The journey will take about seven days. I'll go rest first."

After Afuya finished speaking, she turned and entered the lounge.

At this moment, Chu Yun, as the Reincarnation of the Time-Space Human Ancestor and the leader of the Nine Ancestors, felt a natural sense of connection when a certain individual appeared.

He touched his chest, his brow raised, "Curse Ancestor… is that you…?"

Within the Ancient Soul Nest.

Soul Ning and Soul Shine were seated in the main hall.

Soul Shine's expression was grim, "Hmph! The leak of Ksitigarbha's Physical Body information must be related to Gu Changge!"

"That guy, I knew we shouldn't have relied on him to keep that secret!"

"Fortunately, the Ancient Buddha Pagoda is gone now, and the Ancestor's Fusion is almost complete."

"When the Ancestor emerges from seclusion, the first to be destroyed will be his Evil Infant Realm!"

Soul Ning said in a deep voice, "Gu Changge fell into the hands of Thatched Cottage. Perhaps this matter was intentionally leaked by Thatched Cottage's people."

"But it doesn't matter anymore."

"The Ancient Soul Nest is currently hidden in the Void Realm and won't be easily found."

"In less than half a month, the Ancestor's Fusion will be complete. When Immortal Martial emerges, even if my Ancient Soul Nest appears, we will not fear Thatched Cottage."

"Just a little longer, just a little longer will do."

Soul Shine nodded deeply, then drained the cup full of soul blood in his hand.

Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace.

Xu Changning, the Clan Chief of the Sea Clan and the Palace Master of the Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace, sat at the table, his expression incredibly tense, sweat incessantly beading on his forehead.

This was because sitting before him was an old man with an imposing, un-angered countenance. He wore a simple long robe, yet he brought immense pressure upon Xu Changning.

Xu Changning braced himself, poured a cup of wine for the old man, and nervously asked, "Senior Ancestor, may I ask why Senior has graced my Sea Clan with your presence today? What guidance do you have?"

This person was none other than the strongest expert of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, and the current controller of the Xuanyuan Sword, Xuanyuan Ancestor Xuanyuan Tianhuan.

"Guidance is not necessary, but there is one matter for which I require the assistance of your Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace," Xuanyuan Tianhuan said.

Xu Changning was flattered and asked in confusion, "May I ask, Senior, what matter requires the service of my Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace?"

"I need you to open the Sea Eye Seal," Xuanyuan Tianhuan said calmly.

Upon hearing the words "Sea Eye Seal," Xu Changning's expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed in horror, "Senior, this Sea Eye Seal cannot be opened!"

"Once the Sea Eye Seal is opened, it won't just be this Endless Sea, but a disaster for the entire Yuan Realm!"

"Once the Seal is undone, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Xuanyuan Tianhuan listened to these words with great calm and composure.

But he spoke a calm, undeniable command, "I will give you ten days to transfer your Sea Clan members."

"In ten days, open the Sea Eye Seal."

"Do you understand?"

Xuanyuan Tianhuan's eyes met Xu Changning's, devoid of any emotion.

Words were on Xu Changning's lips, but he couldn't bring himself to utter the two words of refusal.

Perhaps this was the absolute suppression from the strongest expert of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, a person who once ruled the Yuan Realm.

It made Xu Changning unable to muster even a hint of resistance.

Xu Changning was certain that if he were to utter the word "refuse," then the Abyssal Heaven Sacred Sea Palace would surely suffer!

"I… understand."

Xu Changning used all his strength and finally compromised, accepting Xuanyuan Tianhuan's proposal.

Xuanyuan Tianhuan nodded slightly, graciously drank the cup of wine Xu Changning offered, and then his figure vanished from the main hall.

After Xuanyuan Tianhuan left, Xu Changning sat in place in silence for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh before going to arrange the transfer of his clan.

The Sea Eye Seal of the Endless Sea involved a secret of the Yuan Realm, one that predated even the ancient era.

The existence of the Sea Clan was to guard this secret.

As the current Clan Chief of the Sea Clan, Xu Changning had never expected that he would, in his direst moment, embark on a path that betrayed his ancestors.

But as the Clan Chief of the Sea Clan, wanting to protect his entire clan, he had no choice.
