The 30th of July, 1637 of the new Xin new era calendar, was not a peaceful day for the people of the Duchy of Versailles. They had thought that the food crisis had passed, but they were wrong. They realized that perhaps the food crisis had just begun.
On this day, all the grain stores in the Duchy of Versailles started to increase their prices. Only two stores didn’t. One was the red spider lily store, and the other was a public store in the Duchy of Versailles. However, for the past two days, they had no food to sell. The food crisis had finally broken out.
The civilians and nobles who had more than enough food in their hands could cope with this situation. However, the poor had a hard time because they didn’t have the money to save too much food. Now that the food price had risen, these people were in danger of starving.
Once the price of food rose, not only those who couldn’t afford to eat were worried, even those who had stored food were worried. They were afraid that the price of food would rise more and more. If that really happened, they would not be able to eat soon.
Although the Versailles family and the red spider lily shop had announced that grain would be delivered soon and the price of the grain would be settled, the storm had not passed. The civilians who had some money started to buy grain and store it in preparation for the upcoming famine.
The storm in Casar city was actually an enlarged version of the Versailles family. Now, the Versailles family was in chaos. The second and third elders had joined forces and were ready to force the great elder to abdicate. Although the great elder did not want to abdicate, he had no way to resolve this situation. The two sides were in a deadlock.
At this time, neither side noticed that those elders who had always maintained a neutral stance had begun to take action. They reached out to the various authority bodies of the family. However, their movements were very small and secretive, so the two sides who were fighting did not notice them at all.
The battle between Caesar and youyin had finally begun. Both sides had pulled in a large number of people and turned the meeting room of the Versailles family upside down. They almost fought on the spot.
In the end, it was decided that both parties would hold a meeting in the conference room to vote on whether the great elder could still take on the position of an elder. This was something that could not be helped. They also knew that if this continued, the Versailles family would ultimately suffer losses.
Both sides were now full of confidence. They believed that they could obtain the best victory. The great elder’s influence in the elders Guild had always been the greatest. Every time there was a vote, he would have more than half of the votes. He had an absolute overwhelming advantage.
The second and third elders had gathered a lot of people, and they were confident that they could defeat the first elder in the elder Council. Therefore, both sides agreed to solve the problem at the elder Council, and Ivan was forgotten.
8th month, 4th day, the elder Council was about to convene. After the elder Council’s vote, the Versailles family’s great elder Kaiser abdicated. He was no longer a great elder, and even his status as an ordinary elder was taken away, becoming a consecrated member of the family.
Originally, the meeting was going to hold another vote to let the second elder temporarily take over the position of the elder to solve the current food problem.
However, another problem soon emerged. The third elder refused to accept this decision and both sides started arguing again. On the 6th of August, they had to hold a meeting of elders again. This time, the meeting was of great importance and would be hosted by the clan’s Guardian, a 9th-level master, the primordial Sword Saint.
The chaotic origin Sword Saint was absolutely a god-like existence in the Versailles family. No one dared to disturb him, and no one could touch him. He was even more terrifying than Boff.
It had been almost 60 years since the primordial chaos Sword Saint had become a 9th rank expert. 50 years ago, the Versailles clan had encountered a great disaster. When the clan’s descendants were out training, they had encountered a Black Mage who had committed evil. The clan’s descendant had killed the Black Mage on the spot.
Who would have thought that this Black Mage was actually the disciple of the most notorious Black Mage on the continent, bone Saint Anto? Anto was a grade-9 expert and was known for being protective of his own. What happened next was simple. Anto began to hunt down the disciples of the Versailles clan. At that time, the disciples of the Versailles clan did not even dare to leave Casar city.
In the end, the Versailles family invited one of the two guardians of the family, the grade-9 water mage, the Green Wave Warlock Saint, to come forward and kill Anto. However, they did not expect to be killed on the spot by Anto. The entire Versailles family was in a life-and-death situation.
At that moment, the primordial chaos Grand Swordmaster, who had just become a ninth-grade powerhouse a few years ago, appeared. He chased after Anto for tens of thousands of miles by himself and finally brought Anto’s head back to Casa City. The Versailles family had safely survived that crisis.
The primordial Sword Saint became famous after that battle and became one of the most famous level-nine experts on the continent. Anto had entered level-nine 30 years ago and was a Black Mage, so he was very famous among level-nine experts. However, he was beheaded on the spot by the primordial Sword Saint, who had just entered level-nine a few years ago. How powerful was that?
In the following 20 years, the primordial chaos Sword Saint never fought again. However, 30 years ago, The Guardian of another big family on the continent came to challenge him. The two of them had a world-shaking battle on the Jade belt River. The Jade belt River was cut off for three days, and the place where the two fought became the famous Sword Saint Lake in the North. The primordial chaos Sword Saint won the battle again. Since then, no level nine experts had come to challenge him on the continent.
After that, nobody had seen the primordial chaos Sword Saint in action. Although Boff the wind Saint was uninvolved in the Versailles clan and didn’t know much about the world, he had always been a primordial chaos Sword Saint and respected his elders as a nephew. Because of this, no one knew his name anymore. Now, everyone took his nickname as his real name.
This time, the primordial Sword Saint had personally come to preside over the elder Council. Naturally, no one dared to say anything. At the same time, everyone understood that they had been too noisy during this period of time. If they continued, the sword Saint would probably kill them.
The elders ‘Union took action in the meeting room as scheduled. When the elders arrived, they found 2nd elder, 3rd elder and Ivan already in the meeting room. An old man was sitting in the old seat of the patriarch.
This old man was extremely tall, and only the family head, Yi Wan Neng, could compare to him. His white hair was as white as snow, without a trace of impurity. However, what was strange was that his beard was yellow.
The old man was sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. When everyone saw this situation, they couldn’t help but lower their steps and carefully walked to their seats.
Ivan didn’t sit down. Instead, he stood beside the old man. There were two people sitting on the three highest seats. They were the second elder, youyin, and third elder, Sayes. However, the two of them were currently on tenterhooks.
After a while, all the patriarchs arrived. Ivan lowered his head and whispered something into the old man’s ear. The old man nodded slightly. Ivan stood up with the scepter that represented the power of the family patriarch in his hand. He walked to the host’s seat in the middle of the meeting room and looked around. &Quot; this time, the elder Council witnessed by the family’s Guardian has officially begun. We will first have a vote. This time, the vote will remove the second elder’s qualifications as an elder of the family. &Quot;
Hearing this, the elders were all shocked. They had already forgotten about the primordial Sword Saint. Now, they only had one thought in their minds: Ivan was crazy.
But before Ivan could say anything, a cold Humph was heard. Everyone felt as if their heads had been hit by a hammer and saw stars. They then remembered that the primordial Sword Saint was still sitting there. They must be tired of living if they dared to make such a loud noise.
Everyone quieted down. Ivan stood on the stage and said, ” “The voting will begin now.”
The people in the meeting room looked at each other, not knowing what to do. At this moment, someone raised his hand.
The people in the meeting room were all stunned. They looked in the direction of the hand and saw that it was the representative of the neutral faction in the Council of Elders, Hu an. Following Hu an, the other neutral faction elders also raised their hands, followed by the die-hard supporters of the first elder and the third elder. Only a few die-hard supporters of the second elder did not raise their hands.
Ivan glanced at the elders in the meeting room and said, ” “With more than 70% of the votes, the 2nd elder is relieved from his position as an elder of the clan. From tomorrow on, he will officially become the consecrated of the clan. The next vote will be carried out. The 3rd elder will be relieved from his position. Those who agree, please raise your hands.”
The people in the meeting room were dumbfounded. Even a fool knew that Ivan had made a move. By removing the 2nd and 3rd elders from their positions, Ivan had uprooted the entire Institute of elders. As long as he could control the Institute of elders, he would be able to secure his position as the head of the family.
If it were any other time, the die-hard supporters of the second and third elders might have started a fight, but they didn’t dare to do so now. The elders ‘meeting was hosted by the primordial Sword Saint. If they dared to make trouble, there was only one outcome-death!
The subordinates of the first elder were happy to see this. The first elder had fallen, and it would not do them any good if the second or third elder took over. They might as well support Ivan now, and maybe they could rely on the patriarch.
Without any doubt, this vote was passed by a high number of votes. From today on, 2nd elder and 3rd elder would become the employed members of the Zhang clan and would not have any power in the elders “Association anymore.
Then, Ivan held another vote. This time, it was to choose the great elder. Ivan suggested Juan, which was passed again. Juan became the great elder of the Versailles family. Second elder Ivan suggested Feng Su, who was also a representative of the independent faction. This vote was passed again. The third elder’s vote was dramatic. Ivan’s suggestion was actually the subordinate of the great elder, the family’s Foreign Affairs elder Sturn. This was beyond everyone’s expectations. But this time, the vote passed.
