Chapter: 388

“9th Elder, entering the hall!”

When the elders entered, guards at the entrance shouted to alert everyone.

“Welcome.”

“It’s been a long time, Elder Sama.”

All clan leaders got up and greeted 9th Elder Sama Yi. The Grand Meeting didn’t happen that often so it was a good chance for clan leaders to get a chance to talk with the elders. After a few minutes, most clan leaders got in and sat down on the chairs. And with the Lord who was going to enter with the three guardians, everyone else was now here. The only one that hadn’t arrived yet besides the Lord and three guardians, were the 10th, 11th, and 12th elders.

“Three elders are late.”

“Well, he won’t be happy, so we’ll have to understand.”

Hang Soyu, the 5th elder and leader of the Lust clan spoke with frown, and the fourth elder, and leader of Loyal Clan, Ja Kinkeng laughed and responded. Ja Kinkeng was talking about Baek Oh. Baek Oh was a member of the six clans, but was pushed down to the 12th elder, and couldn’t join the trip. That’s when the guard at the gate shouted.

“10th Elder, 11th Elder, 12 Elder, entering the hall!”

Three elders entered at once and Hang Soyu shook her head.

“Hmph. Does he made friends with low ranking elders while he’s there?”

And with the gate being opened, three men walked in. Everyone then turned to the three elders coming in.

“huH?’

“What?”

All elders who sat on the high ranking chairs frowned. They expected Baek Oh to be walking in with his staff, and the one who entered instead, while having two other elders on both sides, was Chun Yeowun.

“H-how can he?!”

Hang Soyu knew Chun Yeowun’s face clearly. She had seen him in the first test in the Demonic Academy years ago. Yeowun had turned into an adult, but he still had the same face from when he was a teenage boy. Yeowun then walked up to the elders who were lost for words and bowed.

“Greetings, elders. I am new 12th elder, Chun Yeowun.”

“What? 12th... Elder?”

Seven elders tried hard to stay calm, but their faces were shocked and in disbelief. The 12th Elder they know was Baek Oh. But Yeowun, who had entered the Grand Hall, claimed himself as an elder.

‘Where is Baek Oh? Why is he... Wait.’

‘Di-did he pass the sixth test?!’

They then realized what had happened while they were gone. The only way for Chun Yeowun, who was a cadet of the Academy, to become an elder was to pass the sixth test and defeat another elder. Yeowun had taken the Baek Oh’s seat by defeating him.

‘So, clan leaders knew this.’

The news of the sixth test already had swept through the entire castle, so all clan leaders knew that Yeowun had defeated Baek Oh and didn’t seem surprised. But they too seemed astounded by a young man standing proudly in front of powerful elders.

‘Was it why I couldn’t find anyone from the Poison clan?’

Mu Jinwon frowned. He had scanned through the crowds on his way in, so he realized that people from Poison clan was also missing. He thought it was an act of protest for the demotion of Baek Oh, but it was not.

‘So, he’s Chun Yeowun?’

‘He’s the one who cut my grandson’s arm?!’

‘How dare... that peasant born!’
