First Summoner

Xiao Zechuan's face turned pale. He raised his head, but when he saw the familiar figure, he almost couldn't control his expression.

Fortunately, the deepness and restraint he had developed over the years allowed him to control his emotions in an instant, and his expression quickly returned to calm like the surface of a calm lake.

If someone hadn't deliberately paid attention to and observed the subtle changes in his facial expression, it would have been impossible to detect the turmoil in his heart at this moment.

His hands were tied and he was half-kneeling on the ground. He was originally in a very embarrassed state, but he quickly straightened his back, raised his head without fear, and looked at President Yuanshi who was sitting in the main seat in front.

The boundary master who had just kicked Xiao Zechuan hard frowned when he saw that Xiao Zechuan did not kneel on the ground as he wished. Just as he was about to raise his foot and kick Xiao Zechuan again, suddenly, an inexplicable fear enveloped him.

His body stiffened and even his breathing became rapid.

He couldn't help but look up, only to see the old ancestor of the Qian clan staring at him expressionlessly, with an intimidating presence without even getting angry.

He instantly felt a chill down his spine and dared not take any further action.

Soon, President Yuan Shi signaled the few practitioners who were escorting Xiao Zechuan to retreat outside the hall.

President Yuan Shi's gaze fell on Xiao Zechuan, and he said solemnly, "Xiao Zechuan, if you can confess the truth, you can make up for your mistakes."

"Please allow me to explain," said Xiao Zechuan.

President Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"can."

Xiao Zechuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, saying, "I was bewitched by the half-demon before, so I did such a stupid thing. If I hadn't returned to the Qian clan and had my ancestors untie the spell for me, I'm afraid I would still firmly believe that I am an accomplice of the half-demon."

"I can testify for him in this matter." The ancestor of the Qian clan spoke at the right time.

Everyone present looked at each other, obviously not believing it.

The Kun clan emperor Changsun Wuhui immediately sneered, "You two are singing the same tune, who knows whether it is true or not? It is better to search the soul directly, then everything will be clear and transparent."

"This emperor agrees." Emperor Zhufeng nodded.

Emperor Baili Fu said, "I agree, this will save a lot of trouble."

The Qian clan ancestor smiled. He slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table next to him and made a soft "bang" sound. "Are you questioning the truthfulness of what I said?"

After these words were spoken, many people felt oppressed.

Emperor Zhu Feng sighed and said, "Emperor of the Qian Clan, we are not questioning you. It's just that Xiao Zechuan is from your Qian Clan. If you guarantee him, I'm afraid that if it gets out, people will think you are biased towards him."

The Qian clan ancestor sneered, "If I don't help him, he will be swallowed by you guys."

Emperor Zhufeng's expression froze slightly.

At this time, President Yuan Shi finally spoke up, "Xiao Ming, their proposal is not unreasonable. Only by searching his soul can we verify the truthfulness of what Xiao Zechuan said. If we have wronged him, we can all make compensation."

Upon hearing this, the Qian clan ancestor's expression turned cold.

"The soul-searching technique will definitely damage his soul power, which cannot be compensated by any compensation."

President Yuan Shi said with a serious face: "Xiao Ming, we can't just listen to your one-sided words. Let's put it this way, as long as you can provide evidence to prove that he has no relationship with the half-demon, we will choose to believe him."

"Yes, is there any evidence?" asked Changsun Wuhui, the emperor of the Kun clan, with a gloating look on his face.

The old ancestor of the Qian clan narrowed his eyes and said in a very ridiculous tone, "Evidence? He doesn't even know the half-demon, so how can there be evidence to prove that he knows the half-demon?"

The Dao Clan Emperor stroked his beard and said, "What the Qian Clan Emperor meant is that you can't provide evidence to prove the truth of this matter?"

"There is no evidence." The ancestor of the Qian clan said coldly.

President Yuan Shi frowned slightly, looked at the ancestor of the Qian clan and said, "Xiao Ming, you can't convince the public without evidence. Therefore, we can only use the soul-searching technique on Xiao Zechuan."

"no!"

The ancestor of the Qian clan rejected it outright.

This made everyone present show an extremely subtle look.

It seems that the ancestor of the Qian clan is determined to protect Xiao Zechuan.

President Yuan Shi's face also turned cold. He looked directly at everyone present and said, "This matter is of great importance and should be decided by a vote of all of you. If you think that the soul-searching technique should be used against Xiao Zechuan, please raise your hands now!"

However, before everyone could take any action, suddenly, a figure stood up from his seat.

Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, the ancestor of the Qian clan calmly walked towards where Xiao Zechuan was with steady steps. When he got close, he stopped, put his hands behind his back, and stood as straight as a pine tree.

The Qian clan's ancestor smiled, looking dignified without being angry, and said slowly: "I will make things clear today. If you want to deal with Xiao Zechuan, it will be equivalent to making enemies with me and the entire Qian clan."

As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

President Yuan Shi had a sullen expression on his face, but he still sat upright at the head of the table. He questioned word by word, "Xiao Ming, are you going against our world law makers and the entire Tiandu force?"

The ancestor of the Qian clan laughed.

"I don't have this idea."

After a pause, he looked at everyone present one by one.

“You can vote now.”

He was just expressing his attitude.

Many powerful people present looked at each other, and saw fear and embarrassment in each other's eyes.

They didn't want to offend the ancestors of the Qian clan and the Qian clan.

But at this moment, the Kun clan emperor Changsun Wuhui spoke.

"I will vote for you."

After saying this, the Emperor of the Kun Clan stared at the ancestor of the Qian Clan with a smile on his face, which seemed to be a hint of provocation.

After the Kun Clan Emperor took the lead, the six emperors, namely, the Zhufeng Emperor, the Panguan Emperor, the Five Elements Emperor, the Dao Clan Emperor, the Shengfo Emperor, and the Baili Emperor, also voted in favor.

That's seven votes.

What is shocking is that Emperor Wuqi did not vote.

As the representative of the three emperors, after weighing the pros and cons, he also voted in favor.

That adds up to ten votes.

Among the Thirteen Emperors, only the Qian clan's ancestor, Emperor Wuqi, and Shen Yan did not vote.

Emperor Zhufeng stared at Shen Yan with a deep gaze, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why? Miss Shen, do you have any concerns?"

After he finished speaking, many people's eyes focused on Shen Yan.

Even Xiao Zechuan, the ancestor of the Qian clan, and President Yuanshi looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan faced everyone, her eyes inadvertently met Xiao Zechuan's gaze briefly, and then she smiled indifferently.

“It’s certainly something I’ve considered.”
