Chapter 698 - 329: A Hasty Century, True Immortal Peak
Nuke could somewhat understand the elders’ excitement, as he had been just as excited at the beginning.
He smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’ve indeed established contact with a significant figure from the Yu Family and have become one of his followers.”
Followers.
The elders’ eyes shimmered, showing no dissatisfaction.
Though the status of being a follower might not sound prestigious, it all depends on whose follower you are.
The Yu Family is a top family in the Sky Falling Star Domain, and becoming a follower of a major figure from the Yu Family is something many cultivators from the Three-Eyed Star Region aspire to but can’t achieve.
“Hahaha! In that case, Nuke, you must follow that significant figure diligently.”
The elderest among the three old women said with a beaming smile, her wrinkles deepening even more.
“Nuke understands.”
“Whatever that significant figure needs, we, the Bolos Clan, must strive to fulfill, as you are the first in line to inherit in the Bolos Family and the future Clan Leader of the Bolos Clan, you should know what to do,” another one of the three elders also spoke up.
Nuke smiled broadly, “Yes!”
With the elders having voiced their stance, the position of Clan Leader of the Bolos Clan was certain to be his in the future, barring any accidents.
The elders warned Nuke a few more times, then one of the three spoke up, “Regarding the change to your succession order, let’s announce it now.”
Salin nodded and sent out the communication; swiftly, a series of breaths approached at high speed.
All these breaths belonged to the high-ranking members of the Bolos Clan.
Soon, these breaths gathered outside the temple and not long after, entered the temple.
These high-ranking members included the Clan Leader of the Bolos Clan, his peers, and several young inheritors.
Nuke scanned the crowd and noticed that not all the inheritors were present, as it was common for younger members with lower cultivation bases to be out gaining experience.
Even the high-ranking members weren’t all present; some needed to attend to the family affairs.
However, Nuke saw the person he most wanted to see—the first in line to inherit.
He was a handsome young man from the Three-eyed Clan and also the son of the Clan Leader.
As the high-ranking members of the Three-eyed Clan entered the temple and saw that not only were the three elders present but almost all the elders too, they were stunned and looked on in shock.
It’s known that during ordinary elder meetings of the Bolos Clan, only a few elders would be present, and seeing the three elders was rare, let alone having all three and nearly all the elders gathered together.
Something significant must have happened!
Soon, the high-ranking members also saw Nuke standing beside the elders.
“Nuke?!” A middle-aged man exclaimed with wide eyes, extremely astonished.
He was Nuke’s father and also one of the senior members of the Bolos Clan, with his cultivation at the Peak of Profound Immortal, only a step away from the Golden Immortal Realm.
The others were also stunned momentarily.
The previously first in line to inherit frowned slightly, glanced at the smiling Nuke, and felt a sinking feeling, sensing that something was amiss.
One of the three elders slowly began to speak, “Today, we have a significant announcement.”
All the high-ranking members of the Three-eyed Clan quickly snapped back to attention, bowing respectfully, “Please instruct us, elders.”
“The order of succession has changed, Nuke is promoted to be the first in line to inherit and also becomes the young Clan Leader of the Bolos Clan.”
Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking members of the Three-eyed Clan were stunned.
Being the first in line to inherit was one thing, but to also become the young Clan Leader?!
This almost certainly meant that Nuke was destined to be the next Clan Leader of the Bolos Clan.
The expressions varied among the crowd, Nuke’s father was overjoyed, while others showed a mix of joy and difficulty.
The previous heir widened his eyes in disbelief, “Elders, why?!”
One of the three elders looked at him, chuckled softly, and said, “Nuke spent five hundred years, broke through the Profound Immortal bottleneck, and ascended to Profound Immortal Realm, demonstrating extraordinary talent, enough to lead the Bolos Clan.”
“What?!”
“Profound Immortal Realm? How is that possible?”
All high-ranking members of the Three-eyed Clan were astonished, turning their gazes toward Nuke.
Nuke smiled, his aura circulated, and the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Profound Immortal Realm surged, immediately dispelling everyone’s doubts.
The former primary heir looked even more aggrieved, his face filled with disbelief.
He of course knew what it meant to break through the Profound Immortal bottleneck in just five hundred years.
Another one of the three elders continued, “In addition, Nuke has followed a significant figure from the Yu Family, promising a bright future. Under his leadership, our Bolos Clan will surely fare better.”
As soon as this was stated, all the high-ranking members held their breath.
Even the high-ranking members who had felt dissatisfied now looked incredulously at Nuke.
And the primary heir turned even paler.
“The Yu Family… The same Yu Family?” The Clan Leader, the father of the primary heir, was naturally somewhat dissatisfied, but now, his voice trembled with excitement.
As the helmsman of a family, he was well aware of the immense benefits the Bolos Clan could reap from making contact with the Yu Family.
Even if the Yu Family Disciples made no promises, simply having such a connection would make other top forces wary, giving the Bolos Clan an edge in the competition for resources.
Such was the influence of the Yu Family!
Nuke was also aware of the reaction of the high-ranking members, feeling a bit amused internally.
These people were so short-sighted.
Merely hearing about the prominent figure from the Yu Family excited them so much; if they knew how much the Immortal Venerable Old Ancestor of the Yu Family valued Young Master Lu, he wondered what their reaction would be?
