Chapter 390: Super thick skinned Nalan Clan
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue and the others followed the Nalan clansmen to a house, and this house was probably the biggest residence in the entire Leaf City. Right now, it was the Nalan Clan’s “HQ”.
“Sima Clan Leader, the other clan leaders have already arrived. Our clan leader is currently waiting for you all inside.” The guard who led them here said.
Because Sima Tai had walked very slowly on the way here, furthermore, he lived in a place far away, the others powers had already arrived and were waiting for them.
“The Sima Clan Leader is truly getting more and more difficult to meet. Everyone is already here and waiting for you alone!”
The moment they entered the large hall, a peculiar voice drifted over.
Sima You Yue looked over to where the voice was coming from. A very senior looking elderly lady sat in the centre seat. The gaze with which she glared at them with was extremely chilling.
“Who is that?” She asked Sima You Lin with a small voice.
“It should be an elder of the Nalan Clan.” Sima You Lin guessed based on the seat in which she was sitting.
This was an extremely trying season for the entire continent, so the elders in this country had all come out from seclusion.
Sim Tai did not mind what that senior lady said, and replied, “The inn we are staying at is rather far. My grand nephew just finished participating in the battle this afternoon, so we took a bit of time to comfort them. Sorry for the lateness.”
He spoke this way, but not a single bit of sincerity could be detected.
“Speaking of the battle this afternoon, this is the first time that creatures as vicious as these orcas appeared, right?” Somebody diverted the conversation topic to talking about the battle.
“Not only that, but the divine beasts this time were many more. If it were not for the little friends from the Sima Clan and their companions with contracted beasts, we’re afraid that our entire city would have been in danger.”
It was only when this was mentioned that everyone recalled that this group of youths and beasts were all spirit paragons!
When they thought about their display of powers during the battle, everyone no longer minded the fact that they had come late.
The Nalan clan leader sat beside that elderly lady and said, “Everyone saw it as well. The situation today was the most dangerous. Because of the lack of notice, our side was relatively weak. We almost lost our entire troop.”
“It’s true that the situation today was more dire.” Everyone agreed.
The Nalan clan leader noticed everyone’s reaction, and his mouth hooked into a slight smile, saying, “this kind of situation happens in other places from time to time. When people nearby obtained news, they would rush over and receive extremely serious wounds. With every person that dies, our strength decreases by that much. This is an extremely big loss to our kind. However, this situation can be circumvented.”
“How so?” Someone followed up.
“If we are able to consolidate our strength and unite, we won’t end up in a situation where we aren’t strong enough.” Nalan Clan Leader said.
“Nalan Clan Leader’s point is that we should work together, form an alliance, then choose a leader?” Huo Clan Leader asked.
“That is exactly what I mean.” Nalan Clan Leader nodded.
“An alliance. My Huo Clan agrees with this wholeheartedly.” Huo Clan Leader said.
“Our Sang clan agrees as well.” Sang Clan Leader said.
“We do too.” Li Clan Leader said.
Everyone’s attention was now on Sima Tai. If the five clans all supported this idea, the remaining power would naturally not have any objections.
“What are you all looking at me for?” Sima Tai rested his back on the chair’s backrest, “This is something involving the human race. Our Sima Clan would naturally agree.”
Nalan Clan Leader saw that Sima Tai had agreed so readily, and was suspicious. However, only a short time passed before he said, “How about the rest?”
“We agree.”
“Agree.”
Everyone on site agreed with this suggestion without a single opposition.
“Good.” Nalan Clan Leader clapped his hands. Everyone quieted down before he continued, “Since nobody has any objections, then we shall choose the leader now. He will lead everyone to battle against the sea beasts!”
“Great!” Everyone nodded.
“I wonder if anyone has someone in mind for our alliance head?” Nalan Clan Leader asked.
“Naturally, only the strongest person will be able to bear this heavy responsibility!” Someone voiced out.
“Then our Nalan Clan elder is naturally the most suited!”
“Right, our Nalan Elder is the strongest. It’s natural for her to be the alliance head!” The other supported this idea.
“That’s right.”
The Nalan clansmen all smiled. It was because they expected that everyone’s elders would definitely not come to participate in the meeting personally that they got their elder to attend. With these people’s reasoning, the position of alliance head would naturally belong to their Nalan Clan!
Once they had become the alliance head, they would definitely arrange the Sima clansmen at the forefront of the battle. Let them taste what it was like to be at the head of the battle!
That elder smiled, saying, “This elder is merely a bag of bones. How could I handle this responsibility!”
“Elder Nalan, there is no need to be modest. In this place, who apart from you is suited to take the position of alliance head!”
“That’s right!’
“Elder Nalan, you deserve this position!”
When Elder Nalan saw everyone speaking this way, she said with some difficulty, “Since everyone is saying this, it would only be respectful for me to -”
“If we’re talking about the strongest person, then it should be Sima You Yue from the Sima Clan right?”
Elder Nalan’s words were interrupted, so she had to swallow her final words.
“Who is Sima You Yue?” Someone asked.
Elder Nalan’s smile was stiff. She looked over at the person who spoke, and it was Sang Qiong Li.
“Sima You Yue. The ‘You’ generation. Is it the youngest generation of the Sima clan?” She looked at Nalan Clan Leader and asked.
“It is, Elder.” Nalan Clan Leader replied.
“Merely a youth. How many years has he cultivated for? How could a person like this possibly be the strongest? A youngster like you shouldn’t spout random things. We’ll just take it as the mutterings of a child behind a parent.” Someone voiced with displeasure.
Sima You Yue never thought that Sang Qiong Li would directly say her name, and she absent mindedly raised her head to look at Sang Qiong Li.
She wasn’t the only one, but everyone else was looking at him as well.
Sang Qiong Li wasn’t angry at all. He merely explained, “You guys merely talked about the strongest one, but never said that her cultivation had to be the deciding factor. This Sima You Yue’s strength may be inferior to you all, but just based on her contracted sacred beast alone, she would beat every single one of you!”
“Sacred beast!”
“That’s right. I’ve heard that a sacred beast appeared in our continent, and had been contracted by someone. I never thought that it would actually be a youth from the Sima Clan would contracted him!”
The Yi Lin continent was huge, and not everyone knew who Sima You Yue was. Now that the heard she was someone who had contracted a sacred beast, their attitudes changed.
If the really chose based on this, she was truly the strongest one. Her sacred beast would floor every single person here.
The Nalan clansmen never thought that their plans would be thwarted midway. The position of alliance head was almost in their hands, but this kind of road block appeared!
“This Sima You Yue is so young. If we gave him the position, wouldn’t he be lacking in experience?” Nalan Clan Leader said with a dark expression.
