The Clan Leader of the Dark Feather Elf Clan is not hereditary, but rather, the capable rise and the mediocre fall! The current Clan Leader was also selected as the new leader because of outstanding ability.

Now that such a serious issue has arisen within the Elf Clan, the Clan Leader must give everyone an explanation. Even if the Treasure of the Dark Feather Elf Clan is retrieved, the Clan Leader might very well "resign for dereliction," allowing people to select a new leader.

The current Clan Leader is also well aware of this, knowing that even if the fault doesn’t lie with him, he still bears inescapable responsibility.

However... the Clan Leader also wants to know just how many people would take this chance to attack him!

"Fourth Elder, what do you mean by this?" At this moment, the Third Elder stepped forward: "Is now the time to discuss this? Or do you have some dissatisfaction with the Clan Leader?"

The Fourth Elder calmly replied: "Of course, I have no dissatisfaction with the Clan Leader, but the ancestral rules stated that if the Treasure is lost, the one who finds it becomes the new Clan Leader of our Dark Feather Elf Clan! I’m only following the ancestral rules!"

"Humph, do you mean that a mere ancestral rule can erase the Clan Leader’s contributions over all these years?" The Fifth Elder also stood and said in a stern voice: "I think, Fourth Elder, do you wish to take his place?"

"Fifth Elder, you are wrong, Lao Si is only reiterating the ancestral rule!" At this moment, the Second Elder said with a smile: "We all know the Clan Leader has made outstanding contributions to our Elf Clan, but the ancestral rule cannot be violated. Furthermore, our Dark Feather Elf Clan has always been about the capable rising and the mediocre falling, I suppose no one has any objections to this?"

Although this was said, the current Clan Leader had done so much for the Elf Clan, and for a while, everyone felt reluctant.

"The Second Elder is not wrong!" The Clan Leader slowly said at this time: "Our Dark Feather Elf Clan does not practice hereditary succession, it is about the capable rising and the mediocre falling, so our clan can prosper."

"Actually, when the Treasure was lost, I also had thoughts of retiring, but I didn’t say it at the time, hoping to find the Treasure quickly to make up for my mistake, but now that someone has brought it up, I’ll announce it here!"

The Clan Leader glanced around and said: "The loss of the Treasure is a major loss for our Elf Clan. According to the ancestral rule, whoever can find the Treasure again will be our new Clan Leader!"

"The Treasure has a spirit, it will choose to return to us through the right person at the right time!" The Clan Leader said calmly: "And the one it chooses will be the new Clan Leader of our Dark Feather Elf Clan!"

"Does anyone have any objections?"

As the Clan Leader’s voice fell, everyone exchanged looks but did not speak, yet many had a gleam of happiness in their eyes, despite being well-hidden, it did not escape the Clan Leader’s notice.

The meeting ended, the Eighth Elder came to the Clan Leader’s room, and when he saw his brother, he said excitedly: "Brother, why did you say that at the meeting, you could have put all the blame on me, doing so only suits certain people’s intentions!"

The Clan Leader smiled and said: "The ancestral rule is like this, as the Clan Leader, I must abide by it! Moreover... how else can I know how many people harbor ulterior motives?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The Eighth Elder was momentarily stunned: "Brother, do you mean..."

"I believe you are right, there is a traitor in our Dark Feather Elf Clan!" The Clan Leader said seriously: "Perhaps calling them a traitor is not accurate, but I am sure, some people will take this opportunity to oust me as Clan Leader, perhaps the loss of the Treasure was orchestrated by them in the first place!"

"Do you not believe that before long, someone will painstakingly ’find’ the Treasure?" The Clan Leader sneered: "To say they actually want to sell the Treasure, they wouldn’t have the guts!"

"If that’s the case, where exactly are they hiding the Treasure?" The Eighth Elder sighed: "We’ve already conducted a thorough search, they definitely won’t escape our domain, where are they hiding it?"

The Clan Leader sighed: "If I knew, I wouldn’t be so perplexed now!"

Meanwhile, inside the enormous hive of the Blazing Poison Bees was turned upside down, and those hidden within the hive were discovered by the Blazing Poison Bees.

"What misfortune, have these Blazing Poison Bees gone mad? Why are they storming into each hive like crazy!" Yun Zhong and the others, left with no choice, had to seal the hive entrance tightly, but they knew if the bees forcefully entered, it was only a matter of time before they were breached.

"Huh? You found Ling Feng’s location?" Upon learning Ling Feng’s whereabouts from the Bee King of the Blazing Poison Bees, Mia said happily: "Don’t scare him, I’ll go myself!"

Saying so, Mia walked to the place indicated by the Bee King.

A moment later, Mia arrived outside the hive, and she shouted loudly: "Big Brother Feng, come out, I’m Mia, I mean no harm, it’s dangerous here, come out quickly!"

Yun Zhong and his men exchanged confused looks, saying: "Who is this Ling Feng, to make Princess Mia personally come to find him? How odd."

"Brother Yun, if we hold Mia hostage, could we not leave here smoothly?" one of the men asked.

Yun Zhong shook his head: "Don’t have such fantasies, Mia is just the Clan Leader’s granddaughter, besides, the Dark Feather Elf Clan isn’t hereditary. Even if it were, they wouldn’t sacrifice the Treasure of the Dark Feather Elf Clan over Mia!"

"Then what should we do now!" another person said anxiously: "If we go out, we’ll be caught immediately, and if not, our identities will be exposed sooner or later, and in this situation, that old fool will definitely cut ties with us!"

Yun Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "I understand all that, I need to think carefully, but... I do believe we can use this Mia to our advantage!"

Thinking for a bit, Yun Zhong whispered a few words into one person’s ear, and that person nodded: "Got it."

Outside, Mia was a bit anxious, worried that Ling Feng no longer trusted her. Thinking of Ling Feng’s sincerity before made her feel she was betraying his trust.

"I know you’re being wronged, I can testify for you, we won’t harm you anymore!" Mia said: "Ling Feng, if you don’t believe me, I can come in and talk with you alone."
