Chapter 724: Clan Leader's Decree

"It seems the Eldest Young Master still hasn't returned to the Yun Tribe."

"Alas, what a pity; the Eldest Young Master is actually very outstanding, and the Clan Leader's position should have been his."

"Who made the Eldest Young Master set his heart elsewhere?"

Yun Zhonghe's absence sparked a heated discussion, and only when Clan Leader Yun Batian appeared did everyone shut up.

When the Clan Leader arrived, everyone stood up to show respect for him.

However, Yun Batian's steps were unsteady, his complexion pale; he lacked the imposing aura a Yun Tribe Clan Leader should have, nor the robust presence of a strong man, giving instead a sense of being on the brink of death.

"It seems the rumors are true; the old Clan Leader is already near his end!"

The Yun Tribe Side-branch members from the TwelveGreatDomains, who rarely see Yun Batian, have heard many rumors; they didn't believe them much, but today, upon seeing him, they found his condition even worse than the rumors suggested.

"No wonder they're hurrying to hold the Clan Leader Succession Ceremony; it seems the old Clan Leader can't hold on much longer!"

The crowd murmured.

On the viewing platform, Yun Ba Hai saw Yun Batian, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

According to seniority, he is the legitimate eldest son, so the Clan Leader's seat should be his, but back then his father showed favoritism and passed the position to Yun Batian!

The reason given was that his resonance with the Cloud Map, the Yun Tribe's supreme treasure, was the strongest!

How laughable!

The Cloud Map has long fallen from a divine artifact to mediocrity; his father's action was merely an excuse!

Thus, he hates Yun Batian because he stole everything that should have been his!

This time, his reason for aiding Yun Lan is revenge; even if the Clan Leader's seat ultimately remains out of his reach, as long as he drives Yun Batian from that position, he'll be satisfied!

"Second brother, why is your condition deteriorating? If you truly can't hold on, I can take over for you!"

Yun Batian shot a glance at Yun Ba Hai, said nothing, and gave a few weak coughs, looking feeble.

Yun Ba Hai was in high spirits.

Yun Batian, even though you stole my Clan Leader's seat, you will die before I do! This is your retribution!

Yun Batian sat on his rightful throne; no matter how poor his health, the Clan Leader's authority was unmistakably displayed at that moment.

"Everyone, please be seated."

His voice carried a hint of forced effort.

The crowd took their seats one after another.

"Where is Yun Lan?" Yun Batian looked around but did not see Yun Lan.

"Father, I'm here."

A crisp voice came from above the crowd; everyone instinctively looked up into the void and saw a large crimson figure drifting down from the emptiness.

She was stunningly beautiful, with unparalleled aura, clad in a flowing crimson gauze dress that highlighted her cold, regal elegance, like an empress.

"Is this Miss Yun Lan? She's so beautiful!"

"In the vast Yunfu, no one can surpass Miss Yun Lan's beauty!"

The crowd saw Yun Lan's image reflected in their eyes, feeling an unparalleled astonishment.

As Yunfu's top beauty, Yun Lan truly lived up to her reputation.

Yun Lan moved like a startled swan, graceful as a soaring dragon; she landed, turned, and exuded peerless elegance.

"Hah, Aunt Yun is far more beautiful than her!"

"Exactly, if Aunt Yun returns, she's not even a damn first beauty!"

Han Xing Leng Yue hummed softly, with a disdainful expression.

Fu San nodded repeatedly, showing strong agreement.

"Don't say that."

Ye Qingran intervened.

"This is an insult to my mother."

Han Xing Leng Yue and Fu San: "......"

Indeed, Yun Lan doesn't even have the right to be compared with Yun Ling!

The Yun Tribe's Clan Leader Succession Ceremony should have been quite elaborate, but due to Yun Batian's health and Yun Lan's request, it was greatly simplified.

After the Heaven and Ancestor sacrifices concluded, the Clan Leader's Decree handover ceremony followed.

Once Yun Lan receives the Clan Leader's Decree, symbolizing the Clan Leader's authority, and injects Yun Tribe blood into it, it means she officially becomes the Yun Tribe's Clan Leader!

The master of ceremonies, a venerable Yun Tribe elder over a hundred years old, stood at the center of the platform and said to Yun Batian and Yun Lan on the viewing dais, "Please come to me." With Yun Lan's support, Yun Batian walked toward the platform's center.

"Father, you haven't forgotten to bring the Clan Leader's Decree, have you?"

Yun Lan whispered into Yun Batian's ear.

Yun Batian glanced sideways at Yun Lan slowly, "No."

Yun Lan curled her rosy lips, "That's good then."

The two approached the master of ceremonies, facing him.

"Present the Clan Leader's Decree!"

A deep voice resonated, and a white light shot from Yun Batian's fingertip, leapt into the void, and slowly took shape.

The Clan Leader's Decree is a square jade seal, white tinged with green, sparkling with a clear luster under the sun.

When they saw the Clan Leader's Decree, all the Yun Tribe members present simultaneously stood, their faces showing awe.

The Clan Leader's Decree symbolizes the Yun Tribe's supreme authority.

Within it flows the blood of every generation of Yun Tribe Clan Leaders.

Seeing the Clan Leader's Decree, Yun Lan squinted slightly, her eyes revealing a determined resolve.

"Next, the Clan Leader's Decree handover."

Yun Batian looked at the Clan Leader's Decree in his hand, then looked at Yun Lan, and did not act for a while.

"Dad, what are you still hesitating about?"

Yun Batian, after hearing that, nodded, and slowly handed over the Clan Leader's Decree; the light in Yun Lan's eyes gradually swelled!

Yun Tribe Clan Leader!

From now on, she, Yun Lan, will be the most honored person of the Yun Tribe!

At the instant when Yun Lan is about to obtain the initial Clan Leader's Decree,
