"Innocent? Haha, then tell me, what constitutes guilt?" Xuan Hun sneered repeatedly.
As an Elder of the Tribunal Hall, she had long been dissatisfied with Zhong Anan.
Because originally she had thought that after the Clan Leader secluded himself, she would be in charge of the Taiyin Deity Clan, but to her utter surprise, the Clan Leader had actually handed over the power to this inexperienced young girl.
Naturally, this filled her with anger, and she always wanted to give Zhong Anan a taste of her displeasure.
However, Zhong Anan was very popular among the Taiyin Deity Clan and acted very prudently. Xuan Hun couldn’t pick out any faults, so she could only fume in silence.
Until this matter arose, which provided her with an opportunity, so of course, she would grasp it firmly and pursue it to the end.
Zhong Anan looked up at Xuan Hun and said indifferently, "Elder Xuan Hun, you say that my actions will lead our clan to irreversible doom! Yet in my eyes, I am saving our clan!"
At this, not only Xuan Hun but all the Elders were taken aback.
"Anan, why do you say that?" An Elder asked eagerly.
Zhong Anan’s eyes fell, and after a moment of silence, she chuckled softly, "It’s simple! This time, the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan, Ancient Sword Divine Clan, Wutong Divine Sect, and other powerful families are ostensibly uniting against Xue An in name, yet in reality, they are using this as a means to consolidate power!"
Consolidate power?
This statement made many Elders’ expressions change dramatically.
Only Xuan Hun, with a sneer on her face, said, "Oh? How are they consolidating power? And what does this have to do with our Taiyin Deity Clan?"
Zhong Anan gave Elder Xuan Hun a deep look, "It’s simple, now that the Tian Zhao Realm has become a void, such a big piece of cake naturally attracts the covetousness of countless powerful families!"
"And as leading powers among them, the likes of the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan naturally want to devour the whole cake! But they need to consolidate all their strength first!"
"And to achieve this, they will surely make a move against many of the weaker powerful families!"
"It’s like big fish eat little fish and little fish eat shrimp! In light of this, Elders, how long do you think our Taiyin Deity Clan can last?"
Hearing Zhong Anan’s words, everyone’s expressions turned ugly.
Only Elder Xuan Hun, about to say something with a cold laugh, was preempted by another Elder.
"Anan, are you suggesting that the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan has gathered the powerful families of the universe with ill intentions?"
Zhong Anan nodded, "Exactly! Moreover, our Taiyin Deity Clan is not the same; we have a history of grievances with the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan, we are close in proximity, and most importantly..."
She paused, "We are all women! In this way, we will become a juicy piece of meat the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan most desires to devour. If we truly go this time, it will be a lamb entering the tiger’s den, never to return!"
Zhong Anan’s argument was coherent, causing all the Elders to turn pale.
Especially after careful consideration, they felt her points were highly valid.
Elder Xuan Hun scoffed disdainfully, "What a joke! If it’s as you say, then even if we don’t go, the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan will come to collect! After all, you said it yourself, we are the closest, and a Flying Boat can reach us in no more than a day!"
Zhong Anan was silent for a moment and then nodded, "As harsh as it is, the truth is exactly that."
"Then, according to you, isn’t our Taiyin Deity Clan doomed to die? After all, it’s death if we go, and it’s waiting for death if we stay!" Xuan Hun said, her face full of mockery.
Zhong Anan shook her head, "No, there is another way!"
