Chapter 728: Are You a Member of My Yun Tribe?

Yun Lan's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and a ferocious aura radiated from her entire body.

Even Yun Batian was startled.

He never expected Ye Qingran to say that.

Send Yun Lan up to the Zhan Yuntai? No matter how many faults Yun Lan may have, she is still his daughter, Yun Batian!

How could one permit an outsider to humiliate her like this?

Yun Batian's expression grew even more solemn, and his aura turned colder.

Ye Qingran seemed not to notice, and smiled, "However, before that, I will first deprive her of the right to become the Yun Tribe Clan Leader."

Her tone was calm, as if recounting something utterly ordinary.

Yun Batian snorted coldly, "Yun Tribe Clan Leaders are selected through strict screening; it's not something you can just strip away because you say so. Moreover, not a single member of the Yun Tribe, myself included, has that authority, let alone you, who is not even a member of my Yun Tribe!"

"How do you know I'm not a member of the Yun Tribe?"

Ye Qingran said with a smile.

What?

"Are you a member of my Yun Tribe?"

Yun Batian was somewhat surprised.

Perhaps he had assumed from the start that she was not a member of the Yun Tribe.

When Ye Qingran said that, Yun Lan's brow twitched sharply.

No, Yun Batian must not learn that Ye Qingran's true identity is Daughter of the Cloud Spirit!

"What does it matter that you have Yun Tribe bloodline? The Yun Tribe side-branch spreads across the TwelveGreatDomains; if everyone were like you, wouldn't our Yun Tribe fall into chaos?"

Yun Lan snorted coldly.

Her remark was meant to lead others, indicating that Ye Qingran is a side-branch of the Yun Tribe.

However, as she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Yun Zhongyue, her gaze turning cold.

Yun Zhongyue had better be more sensible and shut up, otherwise she wouldn't mind ensuring he could never speak again in his lifetime!

At that moment, Yun Zhongyue smiled mysteriously.

He had never spoken because words without proof are empty; if he wanted all of the Yun Tribe to know the truth, only Xiao Ran'er could prove it herself!

He believed she would certainly do it well!

Yun Batian, upon hearing, understood in his heart that she was a side-branch person, no wonder he had no recollection.

Ye Qingran smiled lightly and did not rush to explain anything.

"The Yun Tribe Clan Leader says the new Clan Leader is selected through strict screening; may I ask how the selection is done?"

Yun Ba Hai, who also knew Ye Qingran's identity, hurriedly intervened: "Enough, if we keep dragging this out, the Auspicious Time will pass; this young lady, whatever the matter is, let's discuss it later."

"Exactly, once the Auspicious Time passes, it becomes inauspicious!"

"Hurry up and continue!"

Many people expressed agreement.

Delaying past the Auspicious Time is not a good thing.

To the majority of Yun Tribe members present, Yun Lan was clearly the most suitable candidate to become the next Yun Tribe Clan Leader, so there was no need to replace the Clan Leader.

If it weren't for the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Pursuing Deer standing behind Ye Qingran, they would have already knocked her off the stage!

Yun Lan reached out to Yun Batian, "Father, hand over the Clan Leader's Decree to me."

Yun Batian's eyes flickered with hesitation.

"What's the hurry? Isn't there still half an hour before the Auspicious Time passes?"

At this moment, Yun Zhongyue stood up, her figure like a green bamboo, smiling with a charming, radiant flair.

Yun Lan's complexion was solemn, her eyes filled with ominous ferocity.

"Little…young lady, as long as your Yun Tribe bloodline is purer than hers, and your resonance with the Cloud Map is stronger than hers, and the current Clan Leader consents, you can become the next Clan Leader."

"I see. May I give it a try?"

Try?

Such a request, in this setting, sounds like a joke.

"This person's ambition is indeed great!"

"A side-branch daring to aspire to be Clan Leader? Truly fanciful!"

"She must be joking, right?"

A side-branch attempting to defeat Yun Lan to become the Yun Tribe Clan Leader is, in the eyes of the Yun Tribe members, an impossible feat.

But Yun Lan knew that Ye Qingran could accomplish it.

Therefore, she could not give her that chance.

"If you want to become Clan Leader, wait until I succeed, and then I'll let you try," Yun Lan said with a half‑smile.

"Clan Leader? Sorry, I'm not interested! Anyone can sit in that position, except you!"

After Ye Qingran finished speaking, she displayed her Yun Tribe bloodline without reservation!

This was her first time showcasing her Yun Tribe bloodline in Yuncheng!

Within Yuncheng, the Yun Tribe bloodline can manifest outwardly without relying on Blood Jade Pillars, though Yuncheng still contains some Blood Jade Pillars.

For example, opposite the viewing platform, on a small raised platform, a Blood Jade Pillar stood.

Ye Qingran did not go to the Blood Jade Pillar; instead, just as last time in the artifact space, she flicked a drop of blood outward.

How could Yun Lan possibly allow Ye Qingran to do that?

She immediately tried to block that drop of blood, but however fast she was, she could not outrun Fu Hanxiu.

The drop of blood, under everyone's gaze, flew toward the Blood Jade Pillar and finally plunged entirely into the pillar.

Humm~

It seemed a gust of fierce wind rippled from the Blood Jade Pillar, and the onlookers' faces changed as they sensed an unusual aura.

In the next instant, the Blood Jade Pillar quivered, and a blood‑red light rose from its base upward!

To the Yun Tribe members present, this was a familiar sight; each of them could achieve it.

The blood‑red light spread upward, gradually tinting the pure white Blood Jade Pillar into red, First Segment after First Segment.

At first everyone remained calm, especially the main line of the Yun Tribe; many of them could reach six to seven segments, and a few could even reach eight to nine segments.

However, as time passed, their expressions grew increasingly solemn.

The Blood Jade Pillar was nearly at the end of the Fifth Section!

Yun Lan's pupils trembled violently.

She wanted to stop it, but under the Emperor Sovereign's control she was powerless.

"Sixth Section!" someone shouted.

When the blood‑red light broke through to the Sixth Section, everyone was momentarily stunned.

"Wasn't she said to be from a collateral line? How could she have a six‑segment bloodline?"
