Chapter 12889 Supreme Elder

Although he walked slowly, each step revealed an undeniable majesty and power.

"Grand Elder!" Tianxia Buer frowned slightly when he saw the old man, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The man was Zhang Yutian, one of the three Grand Elders of Tianxiahui, and also the ancestor of the Zhang family, an elder who enjoyed a very high reputation in Tianxiahui.

Zhang Yutian's appearance surprised everyone present. After all, he usually stayed at home and rarely showed up in front of people. However, today he suddenly showed up and stopped everyone from arguing, which made people wonder about the purpose of his visit.

Tianxia Buer knew that Zhang Yutian, as the ancestor of the Zhang family, had always been particularly caring towards the Zhang family. Before, Ling Xiao had offended someone from the Zhang family at the Tianxiahui Trading House, and was therefore hated by the Zhang family.

However, the Zhang family had not taken action because they were afraid of giving others a reason to criticize them and causing dissatisfaction among other members of the Tianxiahui. But today, Zhang Yutian finally spoke up, apparently because he felt the time had come.

Zhang Yutian's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Tianxia Buer. He looked at Tianxia Buer deeply, as if to warn him that as a headmaster, he should have a global perspective and not make wrong decisions because of a momentary impulse.

Zhang Yutian slowly approached Tianxia Buer, his eyes deep and calm, he said calmly: "The root cause of this matter is Ling Xiao. Besides, he is no longer a member of Tianxia Association, and Tianxia Association should stay out of the following disputes. Buer, as the head of the sect, you should distinguish right from wrong and stay out of other people's business, so as not to drag Tianxia Association into unnecessary whirlpools and eventually lead to a catastrophe."

Just as everyone was pondering Zhang Yutian's words, another voice broke the silence. An old woman slowly walked over. She was Wang Xue, another supreme elder of the Tianxia Association and also the ancestor of the Wang family.

Wang Xue glanced at everyone present, then turned to Tianxia Buer and said calmly, "That's what I meant. Buer, I know you have a close relationship with Jin Yan, but you have to understand that Jin Yan, like Ling Xiao, is a potential source of trouble. He just killed Ou Luan, and the Southern Region Holy Hall will definitely not let it go. For the safety of Tianxia, I suggest you expel him from Tianxia to avoid causing more trouble."

As Wang Xue finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn. The statements of the two supreme elders undoubtedly brought great pressure to Tianxia Buer. Two of the three supreme elders had already arrived, and their attitudes were so clear that they obviously did not want to offend the Donghai Jiang family by protecting Ling Xiao.

Although Tianxia Buer was reluctant to leave, he also understood his duty as the headmaster. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
Tianxiahui has had strict rules since ancient times. These rules not only constrain the behavior of members, but also determine the direction of the entire organization at critical moments. In Tianxiahui, the three supreme elders have extremely high status and authority, and their opinions can often influence the decision-making of the entire organization.

As long as two supreme elders hold the same opinion, even the head of the sect must follow their decision.

At this time, Tianxia Buer was filled with depression. He did not feel powerless because of the strength of the Jiang family in Donghai, but because the Tianxiahui could not reach a consensus at this critical moment. He knew very well that such a split was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for the Tianxiahui.

Jin Yan stood aside, watching the helplessness and struggle on Tianxia Buer's face, and his heart was filled with emotion. He was always grateful to Tianxia Buer because Tianxia Buer had given him a lot of help and support.

However, Jin Yan was really disappointed with the performance of Tianxiahui today. He did not expect that the organization he once loved deeply could not give him the support he deserved at the critical moment.

"Master, don't be embarrassed. Zhang Yutian, Wang Xue, you two old fellows listen, today I, Jin Yan, leave the Tianxia Association, I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Jin Yan stood there, his eyes firm and his tone resolute. He looked at the master who had taught him so carefully, his heart full of gratitude, but more of disappointment.

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Zhang Yutian and Wang Xue, two senior elders of the Tianxia Association, who were sitting on both sides of his master. Their eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

"Master, you will always be the person I respect the most in my heart, but the Tianxia Association is no longer what I expected it to be." There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in Jin Yan's voice.

“Zhang Yutian, Wang Xue, you two old fellows, maybe in your eyes, I, Jin Yan, am just a young man who is full of youthful vigor and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. But today, I stand here to tell you that I, Jin Yan, will leave the Tianxia Association today and will no longer be associated with you!”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and Zhang Yutian and Wang Xue's faces also turned gloomy. They looked at each other, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"Boy, you think too highly of yourself." Wang Xue sneered and mocked, "There are many geniuses in this world, but eight out of ten have died young. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can grow up? You have offended the Jiang family of the East Sea and the Southern Region Holy Hall. How long do you think you can live?"

Jin Yan's mind was already tilted, and he did intend to follow Jiang Feng and others to quietly leave to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to the Tianxia Association. However, when he faced the cold and even hostile attitude of the two supreme elders of the Tianxia Association, the balance in his mind was completely unbalanced.

He stood there, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. It turned out that he still had some feelings for the Tianxiahui, hoping that it could be a solid backing behind him.

But now, this emotion was completely worn away by the indifference of the two supreme elders. He realized that he no longer had a sense of belonging in this organization, and might even become a burden in their eyes.

Jin Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He turned to face the Thirteen Demon Generals, his eyes gleaming with determination.

He transmitted his voice, "Listen, you are my boss's subordinates and friends, I can't let you get hurt. I will do my best to hold back these enemies and give you a chance to escape. You must take the opportunity to escape, as far as you can. Remember, hide your identity first, practice diligently, and improve your strength. This is the most important thing."

The thirteen demon generals were moved and worried when they heard Jin Yan's voice transmission. They knew that Jin Yan made this decision to protect them. But they also knew that Jin Yan would be in great danger if he faced so many enemies alone.

"No, we really can't let you face these dangers alone." Ling Bi firmly rejected Jin Yan's proposal. Her eyes revealed her concern and worry for Jin Yan.
