Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 967 - 285: Top Priority

But upon hearing that the ancestor specifically sent a message for Yun Zhao, he couldn’t help but feel solemn: "The ancestor... what did he say to that unworthy son of mine?"

"The ancestor said, let him live freely!" The clan leader’s face was grave.

Yun Zhao’s father was taken aback.

What?

Live freely?

The clan leader slowly said: "What I mean is, let Yun Zhao live freely all his life, do whatever he wants to do! From today on, as long as Yun Zhao doesn’t commit any serious betrayal against the tribe...

Then, in our Black Feathered Sparrow Tribe, he can do what he wants! No one should interfere with him!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhao’s father’s vision went black, and his body swayed!

Such an ancestor, so good to my son?!

Something’s wrong!

Damn it!

Is Yun Zhao my son or the ancestor’s illegitimate child?!

The clan leader was also a skillful person, knowing that simply using the power of the clan leader to suppress the Yun Family was not a good method.

Today he severely punished people from the Yun Family, marking a rift in their relationship, at this moment he turned to a more conciliatory approach.

"Old Yun, let me make it clear to you. Your little self-interest, everyone can understand it.

Privately, although Yun Zhao is your son, you have many children, and Yun Zhao hasn’t been by your side for decades, you have no feelings for him, preferring other children, we can all understand.

Publicly, after years of cultivation and experience, your other children are quite talented. You wish to hand over the Yun Family to one of them to ensure the family’s continued development, which we can also understand.

But, you’re still being foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao’s father said coldly: "Clan leader, today you use the authority of the clan leader and the orders of the ancestor to punish me, I, Old Yun, have nothing to say, but aren’t you interfering too much in the inheritance matters within my family?

Even as a clan leader, you have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of a clan elder’s family."

The clan leader listened and smiled faintly: "That’s why I say you’re being foolish."

With that, the clan leader went over and gently patted Yun Zhao’s father’s shoulder: "Old Yun, we’ve known each other for nearly three hundred years. It’s not to say our relationship is great, but we’re not strangers either.

When I say you’re being foolish, you surely don’t agree, but think carefully about my words...

In a normal situation, you prefer other children, you are closer to them emotionally, and they are more capable, so your bias isn’t a problem.

But isn’t this a special situation?

Yun Zhao... has the ancestor backing him!

If you truly want what’s best for your family, then think it over.

A child backed by the ancestor, how much privilege and special status would he receive in the tribe!

If such a child were to become the heir... would it be beneficial or harmful to your family?

If your mind isn’t working well, you should listen more to the kind advice of others, and then think it over!"

Yun Zhao’s father was suddenly jolted!!

In an instant, the stubborn determination in his heart was shattered by the clan leader’s words like a drum beaten by a heavy hammer!

Indeed!

No matter how distant Yun Zhao may be, he’s still my own son!

He has the ancestor backing him! If he becomes my heir in the future...

That would mean, the ancestor is backing the Yun Family!!

The ancestor, backing the Yun Family!!

At this realization, a glimmer of unusual light flashed in Yun Zhao’s father’s eyes.

But soon after, his gaze wavered a bit, and he said in a low voice: "I won’t lie to you... When Yun Zhao returned home, I examined his cultivation, he... his cultivation..."

"Is his cultivation very poor?" The clan leader was a bit surprised.

Impossible, after being by the ancestor’s side for thirty years!

"Not very poor." Yun Zhao’s father sounded somewhat helpless, and his tone had a sense of indescribable absurdity: "He... he almost seems to have no cultivation. With such a poor cultivation talent, how can he become my family’s heir?!"

The clan leader, however, waved his hand dismissively: "Old Yun, you’re still being foolish!

What is cultivation? It’s combat power! It’s being able to slap someone to death when they’re not convinced of you—this is the greatest significance of cultivation!

But does Yun Zhao need this?

Currently, is Yun Zhao’s cultivation higher than his elder brothers and sisters who bullied him? Higher than yours?

But what was the result? His elder brothers and sisters were beaten black and blue and locked in Wind Cave for five years! That place, after five years in there, you’re either dead or lose half of your cultivation!

And you, being beaten, ended up rolling on the ground, and obediently had to kneel here for a hundred days!

You’re talking to me about cultivation?

Yun Zhao doesn’t need cultivation! He has the ancestor backing him, and with just one word, the ancestor can suppress all dissatisfaction in the tribe!"

Seeing Yun Zhao’s father still hesitating in thought, the clan leader finally grew impatient.

He slowly stood up, standing right before Yun Zhao’s father.

"Let me be frank with you.

Old Yun, you are an elder of the Elder Council, according to the clan rules, your term as an elder has over a hundred years left, once that term is over, you have to step down, and the position of elder belonging to your family will be up to you to designate a successor from your descendants.

I hope that when your term expires in a hundred years, you will recommend Yun Zhao to replace you in the position of elder belonging to the Yun Family!"

Yun Zhao’s father immediately looked up, his eyes showing some dissatisfaction—actually, he was already swayed by the clan leader’s words, but he had a very stubborn nature, and being pressured like this by the clan leader, gave birth to some rebellious resistance.

"What if I refuse?"

The clan leader coldly said: "Then you won’t live to see the end of your term!"

Yun Zhao’s father swayed and suddenly looked up at the clan leader with wide eyes: "You... you actually... you!!"

The clan leader sighed softly: "Old Yun... this concerns the ancestor, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

For our Black Feathered Sparrow Tribe, what clan rules, what regulations, they’re all nonsense!

The ancestor’s favor is the utmost priority!"
