Chapter 163 The Hong Clan's Ancestral Heir
"As stated in the historical records, the clan patriarch position will be transferred to Lord Zhiye."
Hong Feng willingly passed the clan patriarch position to Alister after unsealing him.
Even the clan elders didn't disagree with Hong Feng and they all expressed their support for Alister becoming their clan patriarch.
Who are they kidding? They can't afford to offend the ancestral heir!
If they didn't listen to the second ancestor's words and didn't pass on the clan patriarch position to Alister, they might even die and become the sinners of the clan!
Even if the ancestral heir was said to be eighteen years old, it was already stated that his power was above Level 99 Revered Constellation.
The ancestral heir was the strongest in the entire world!
There has yet to be an Astral Constellation powerhouse that has shown up in the world and even Level 100 Astral Constellation was just a myth.
Most star masters didn't even believe that reaching Level 100 Astral Constellation was possible and all star masters were stuck at Level 99 Revered Constellation.
Or more like, it was even difficult for most star masters to reach Level 99 Revered Constellation. Even becoming a Level 91 Revered Constellation was already a great achievement.
At first, Hong Feng and the clan elders were skeptical about whether the ancestral heir was truly a Level 100 Astral Constellation powerhouse.
But when the ancestral heir released his astral pressure, even they could feel that the ancestral heir's astral energy was far stronger than theirs as if it had gone through a qualitative change.
The clan elders might not be able to see through the ancestral heir's astral pressure, but Hong Feng who was the only Level 99 Revered Constellation powerhouse in the Hong Clan could confirm that the ancestral heir was stronger than him.
Even if he was against the Grand Priest and the Star Hall Pope, Hong Feng could still put up a fight and he wouldn't think that his chances of winning were 0%.
But when faced with the power of the ancestral heir, Hong Feng felt extreme danger and he knew that if he fought against the ancestral heir, the ancestral heir could easily suppress and kill him.
If it was another Astral Constellation powerhouse, Hong Feng would have still sacrificed his life just to have a chance of protecting the Hong Clan. Fortunately, the Astral Constellation powerhouse was from their Hong Clan and not from other top forces.
Thinking about the historical records, Hong Feng was glad that the ancestral heir was so noble. Instead of inheriting the clan patriarch position several hundred years ago, the ancestral heir had abdicated from his heir position and passed it to his brother.
The ancestral heir did all this for the sake of the Hong Clan so that the Hong Clan wouldn't be destroyed.
If the ancestral heir hadn't abdicated from his position, the ancestral heir would have become the third ancestor of the Hong Clan. But if the ancestral heir did that, then the Hong Clan would be destroyed during Hong Feng's reign.
After all, without the ancestral heir, the Hong Clan would inevitably be destroyed.
It could even be said that the ancestral heir was already aware that even a top clan would soon meet its demise so to prevent that, the ancestral heir was so noble that he sealed himself just to give the Hong Clan a way out of the impending doom.
Compared to preventing the demise of the Hong Clan, Hong Feng didn't even hesitate to abdicate from his position as the clan patriarch just to prevent the impending doom of the Hong Clan.
Not to mention, when compared with an Astral Constellation powerhouse, Hong Feng knew that a Level 99 Revered Constellation such as himself wasn't worthy to compete with him for the position of clan patriarch.
After the ancestral heir was unsealed, only the ancestral heir was worthy to become the clan patriarch!
Of course, Alister had already read the thoughts of Hong Feng and the clan elders. He also knew the reason why the Hong Clan would soon be destroyed.
And to show off his majesty and prowess as the ancestral heir, Alister didn't conceal that he already knew about the reason for the Hong Clan's impending doom.
Releasing his astral pressure, Alister coldly sentenced, "For causing the impending demise of the Hong Clan, Hong De will be publicly executed!"
Although they dared not offend the ancestral heir, one of the clan elders who was the father of Hong De, gritted his teeth and spoke, "Even if my son is executed, Star Hall will still attack and destroy our clan!"
In response to that, Alister snorted, "Heh! Are you the clan patriarch or am I?"
"I don't fear the Star Hall and if they dared to destroy the Hong Clan, I will enslave the Star Hall and make them our vassal."
"But what Hong De had done is unforgivable and his crimes had tainted the Hong Clan's majesty!"
"Molesting and raping the Holy Maiden? And it was even discovered by Star Hall and the public?! Such a disgrace to our Hong Clan! If someone did such a thing to our Hong Clan's heirs, even I would destroy the top force behind that person!"
"I won't execute Hong De to reconcile with the Star Hall. I will execute him to give an example to the rest of the Hong Clan members that if they dared to commit such a heinous crime, they must not implicate the rest of the clan!"
Faced with the reprimand from the ancestral heir, Hong De's father was filled with cold sweat as he no longer dared to speak up for Hong De!
They all knew that the ancestral heir was furious about the disgrace brought by Hong De to the Hong Clan!
To quell the anger of the ancestral heir, Hong De's father immediately kowtowed to the ancestral heir and apologized, "Forgive me Lord Zhiye!"
In response, Alister no longer cared about Hong De's father and ignored him.
Walking out of the underground room with Hong Feng and the clan elders, Alister was led to the clan hall by them.
Sitting on the clan patriarch's chair, Alister commanded, "Now tell me the state and situation of the current era."
