301. Tianluan makes a decision
301. Tianluan makes a decision
"To acknowledge Xiao Yan as their master?"
As Mu Yaoyin finished speaking, it was like a stone thrown into still water, creating a huge ripple effect! Compared to the shock in the hearts of Mu Que and the others, many of the Tianluan clan members actually had a bigger question in their hearts: Who is Xiao Yan?
Only a few people knew Xiao Yan's identity and strength, but that didn't diminish the sensation caused by Mu Yaoyin's words. Mu Yaoyin was talking about acknowledging a master! If Mu Yaoyin didn't change her mind, the entire Tianluan Clan would become slaves! This matter was no less significant than the impact of the war between the Tianluan Clan and the Tianyao Phoenix.
Although the Celestial Phoenix Clan declined as a result of the great war, they were once the overlords of the skies. The Celestial Phoenix Clan yearns for freedom at their core, and very few members are willing to submit to others. Therefore, while the Celestial Phoenix is one of the best magical beast mounts, possessing one as a mount is extremely rare throughout the history of the Dou Qi Continent.
And now the entire Tianluan Clan is going to become servants! Mu Yaoyin's position in the Tianluan Clan is absolutely unattainable even by the clan leader, Mu Que. Once Mu Yaoyin makes a decision, it will be equivalent to the decision of the entire Tianluan Clan.
Although Mu Que and the others were equally shocked by this matter, they were more curious about what their ancestor had seen when he glimpsed the future. With Xiao Yan as the main character, this was undoubtedly the biggest gamble in the history of the Tianluan Clan! Putting aside whether Xiao Yan was worth entrusting their lives to, even if Xiao Yan did become a hegemon of the Dou Qi Continent in the future, the Tianluan Clan would just be servants. As servants, could they bargain with their masters? However, they had no intention of stopping him now. After all, this was a decision made by their ancestor after paying a huge price to see the future, and they had neither the right nor the desire to stop him.
Xiao Yan, the person involved, was stunned. He even subconsciously rubbed his ears, feeling for the first time that there was something wrong with his ears and that he had misheard! However, judging from the reaction of the Tianluan Clan, what he heard seemed to be correct. It seemed that the Tianluan Clan really wanted to acknowledge him as their master!
Xiao Yan himself only had the strength of an eight-star Dou Zong, while the Tianluan Clan had five Dou Zun powerhouses and one existence that surpassed Dou Zun strength. How could such a super power now belong to him?
Xiao Yan couldn't find anything about himself that would warrant such a fuss from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. The so-called Starfall Young Master was utterly insignificant in their eyes. His status as a disciple of Yao Lao might carry some weight, but it only earned him a degree of respect from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Even if Yao Lao himself resurrected him, it wouldn't be enough to warrant the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan acknowledging him as their master!
Mu Qingluan, standing beside Xiao Yan, looked at him with a strange expression and said, "Senior Brother, it seems the Ancestor has witnessed something extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely extraordinary!"
Mu Qingluan's words were exaggerated, but she felt that those few words didn't even begin to represent the exaggerated emotions she felt! From the first time she met Xiao Yan, she knew that her senior brother was definitely not simple. Otherwise, given her status as the young master of Xingyun Pavilion, how could she so easily become close to someone she didn't know well?
But even if Mu Qingluan dared to dream back then, she couldn't believe that Xiao Yan would one day become the master of her and the entire Tianluan Clan! At this moment, Mu Qingluan suddenly thought to herself: Didn't I bring Xiao Yan to the clan to retrieve the demon core? How did things develop to this point in just a few days?
Xiao Yan smiled wryly and said, "This matter is too serious. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding in the middle."
He was originally curious about what kind of future he would see when he used the secret technique of "Phoenix Eyes Gazing at the Heavens," and what kind of impact it would have on the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Now it seems that the impact is indeed significant, but he never expected that it would involve him as well.
Mu Yaoyin, who was in mid-air, flashed to Xiao Yan's side, knelt down and bowed her head, saying, "Mu Yaoyin of the Tianluan Clan, on behalf of the entire Tianluan Clan, pays respects to Master!"
Following Mu Yaoyin, Mu Que and the other four immediately caught up. Seeing that Mu Yaoyin had already done so, the five exchanged glances and then knelt down and bowed to Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had become the absolute core of the Tianluan Clan. Looking at the people kneeling before him, Xiao Yan felt somewhat unsettled and immediately tried to help Mu Yaoyin up: "Senior Mu, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Mu Yaoyin firmly shook her head and said, "There is absolutely no problem with this matter. Master, you can rest assured. The entire Tianluan Clan will be loyal to the death and have no disloyalty whatsoever!"
Mu Yaoyin's voice, amplified and amplified by her battle qi, rang clearly in the ears of all the Tianluan clan members. At this moment, they all understood: the human before them would be the future master of the Tianluan clan! Although they had many doubts and questions in their hearts, Mu Yaoyin was the absolute backbone of the Tianluan clan, and almost no one in the Tianluan clan would disobey her.
Among the other clans, some were indeed resentful, with Tang Qiying being the most prominent. His eyes burned with jealousy towards Xiao Yan, almost solidifying into a tangible flame! Chen Wei was a strong contender for the next clan leader, having already become an inspector at a young age; the position of power in the Tianluan Clan would inevitably fall into his hands sooner or later. Now that Xiao Yan had become the master, Tang Qiying's chances of rising to prominence were gone, and naturally, he was extremely unwilling.
Beside Mu Yaoyin, Chen Wei was also kneeling with his head bowed. Finally, many members of the other clans turned their gazes to Tang Qiying. Tang Qiying held considerable prestige among the other clans, and they awaited his decision. Seeing the Tianluan clan members gradually kneeling around him, Tang Qiying could only grit his teeth and kneel before Xiao Yan. However, the burning glint in his eyes betrayed his deep resentment. Fortunately, in this situation, no one noticed his emotions.
Seeing everyone kneeling before him, Xiao Yan panicked for a moment and could only say, "Senior Mu, please get up first, there's no need for this."
Mu Que and the others, who were kneeling to one side, also looked at Mu Yaoyin's expression. Mu Yaoyin stood up calmly and said, "Since the master has spoken, we should naturally obey."
Seeing that their ancestor was no longer kneeling, Mu Que and the others breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. Xiao Yan also felt relieved and asked, "Senior Mu, why did you make this decision?"
Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; he saw through Mu Que at a glance. Mu Xinyuan and the others were equally puzzled, realizing that Mu Yaoyin's idea of acknowledging him as her master was merely her own.
