“Heh─ I’ve made myself clear, I have no control over the choices of the four elders!
If you choose to stay, swear allegiance to me─ if you choose to leave, please do so!” Yue Jiuli’s gaze was firm as he stared straight at the four.
Yue Jiuli’s relentless and imposing words and attitude excited the hearts of the Yue Clan’s disciples and elders, as they hadn’t seen him so spirited in a long time…
Yue Jiuli was the only young master of the Yue Clan’s direct lineage.
The people of the Yue Clan would only accept the direct lineage as the Patriarch and Young Master.
Yue Jiuli’s father passed away unexpectedly when Yue Jiuli was young and the leadership had to be taken by Yue Hanshan…
Although they didn’t say it out loud, they didn’t truly agree with it in their hearts.
In the Four Great Hidden Clans, it was said that if the ruler of a Hidden Clan was not of the direct bloodline, that clan would eventually be destroyed…
Like a curse and ancestral instruction, this saying had been passed down among the Four Great Hidden Clans!
Therefore, both the Yue Clan and the Xue Clan took great care in the bloodlines of their young masters and patriarchs…
This was also one of the main reasons why Yue Jiuli could easily rally the loyalty of everyone in the Yue Clan with just a few words!
As Yue Qing and the other three watched Yue Jiuli and his companions, pondering whether to fight or retreat, an old voice rang out with laughter behind Mo Jiuli’s team: “Hahahaha, the Yue Clan is bustling with activity today!
How come so many people have gathered here?”
As the voice spoke, two white-robed old men, leading a team of about thirty people, walked over!
Spotting them, the eyes of Yue Qing and his companions lit up…
“Xue Bao, why did you only just arrive?
If you had come any later, the four of us would have been bullied by someone!” The old man beside Yue Qing said with a laugh.
“Ah─ I say Elder Yue Luo, who would dare to bully you, one of the Supreme Elders of the Yue Clan?
Isn’t that a joke?” The white-robed elder spoke as he led the others to stand beside Yue Qing and the other three while eyeing Yue Jiuli and his companions.
Instantly, a confrontation formed at the entrance of the Yue Clan.
On one side was Yue Jiuli, the young master of the Yue Clan, along with Mo Jiuli and the people of the Yue Clan behind them.
On the other side were the four from the Yue Clan, with the two old men and their team…
“Hehe─ the Four Supreme Elders do have quite the skill!” Yue Jiuli spoke with a sarcastic smile.
“Hahaha, Young Master Yue, Elder Yue Luo and I have been good friends for many years, and this is no secret!
Today we came to your Yue Clan, for our Xue Clan’s Supreme treasure that was stolen by you and the Holy Clan Young Master.
We hope that you can return it!
Otherwise, you can’t blame our Xue Clan for being ruthless!” The white-robed elder said, looking at Yue Jiuli with a smile.
“Heh─ Elder Xue wants to fight?
Why bother looking for an excuse then?
If the Xue Clan wants to fight, then let’s fight!” Sheng Siye stepped forward, standing side by side with Yue Jiuli as he spoke.
“Hahahahaha, it is said that the Holy Clan Young Master is brave and good at fighting.
Today, it seems that is indeed true!
However, since you dared to steal our Xue Clan’s Supreme treasure, I will not be polite!” Xue Bao sneered.
“Xue Bao, you truly are shameless!
That desolate place of the Xue Clan has absolutely nothing of value!
Yet, you dared to slander my son for stealing treasure from the Xue Clan!
I could also say that your Xue Clan stole my daughter!” Before Sheng Siye and Yue Jiuli could react,
From a distance, a loud and clear voice rang out, followed by a tall, black figure appearing like the wind in front of Sheng Siye and Yue Jiuli…
