Ancient Ancestral Gods

1A traitor had appeared in the ancient courtyard, which was why he was so angry.    2

    

Only a few of the higher-ups in the ancient courtyard knew that Xiao Fan had entered the city.    

    

That group of people who knew about it, were also the people who came back with him that day to investigate, and it just so happened that he brought Xiao Fan back as well.    

    

As long as he analysed the matter slightly, he would be able to guess Xiao Fan's identity.    

    

Some higher-ups exposed Xiao Fan's whereabouts to the Divine Sect, or else the Divine Sect wouldn't have sent messengers to get him, and even said that they would hand him over by tonight, or they would be punished!    

    

A power hated traitors the most. A traitor had appeared in the ancient courtyard.    

    

Xiao Fan could understand Jiang Yan's anger, but he could not say anything more.    

    

Since a traitor had appeared in the ancient courtyard, Jiang Yan could only go and handle it.    

    

He was probably going to make things difficult for them by calling for an account from the upper echelons.    

    

After a long while, all the higher-ups that needed to be called were present.    

    

Amongst the higher-ups present, most of them were middle-aged, followed by youths, and there were also a few elders with relatively high statuses.    

    

Xiao Fan stood at the side, quietly watching.    

    

Originally, he wanted to avoid it. After all, he wasn't someone from the ancient courtyard.    

    

However, Jiang Yan kept him here, this meeting was held for him.    

    

The upper echelons present all had uncertain expressions on their faces, not knowing what major event had occurred.    

    

The guard who gave the order looked terrified, the terrifying thing was that Jiang Yan was already enraged.    

    

"Seniors, uncles and brothers, you should know that the divine sect's envoys have come to get us. Moreover, their attitude is extremely vile. This matter is extremely serious!" Jiang Yan greeted everyone politely and went straight to the point.    

    

"This has just happened. Little Yan, what kind of people do they want? Just hand them over, and we'll keep our bottom line!" A white clothed elder was the first to speak.    

    

"You've all heard what Elder Li has said. You have to have a bottom line for what you're doing. However, some of us have already lost our bottom line and dare to sell out on the ancient courtyard!" Jiang Yan was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "Who told the Divine Sect? They took the initiative to come out, I can still do anything!"    

    

"The people that the Divine Sect wants are really here!"    

    

"Who are they? Who does the Divine Sect want?!"    

    

"Young master, what's going on? Is that person very important to us?"    

    

Jiang Yan's fury instantly aroused a heated discussion from everyone present.    

    

It seemed that the Divine Sect really did have someone who had come to ask for him.    

    

How important was that person? He did not hesitate to make Jiang Yan angry, and even suspected that there was someone here that was a traitor.    

    

"Whether that person is important to us is not the main point. The main point is that someone did not get my permission and privately revealed the news to the Divine Sect!"    

    

"I was the one who brought the person that the Divine Sect wanted. Only the person who went with me to check out that earth-shattering event was aware of this!" Jiang Yan said: "Hurry up and come out, who has so much to say, tell the Divine Sect about this matter!"    

    

"It's me!"    

    

A middle-aged man with a small beard stood up and boldly admitted, "I, Huang Batian, am just an outsider. If the Divine Sect wants to go, then so be it.    

    

Huang Batian was arrogant and overbearing, and was not satisfied with Jiang Yan's accusation.    

    

If the Divine Sect wanted Xiao Fan, then he would give it to the Divine Sect.    

    

He was just an outsider, and was not someone from the ancient courtyard.    

    

Such an approach would only increase the relationship with the Divine Sect and would be more beneficial to the Alliance's matters.    

    

"Uncle Huang, you can be considered an old man of the ancient court. You have a high position, some things can be done, some things can't be done. You don't even know this clearly!"    

    

"I brought him back, but other than the few of you who went there together with me, no one else was able to tell me. The reason I did that was because I had my own considerations. However, you concealed this from the Divine Sect!"    

    

"Listen to what the messengers from the Gods Sect have to say. If you don't hand him over by tonight, you must punish me and let us pay the price!"    

    

You are a member of the Ancient Court, but because of your flattery, the Divine Sect has to be like me, the young lord of the Ancient Court, making trouble, threatening, punishing. Don't forget that I am the son of the lord of the Ancient Court, one of the future successors of the Ancient Court. Jiang Yan reprimanded loudly: "Do you think your actions are considered to be those of a traitor?!"    

    

"Huang Batian, this is your fault!"    

    

"You've put young master in danger, and even more so, you've humiliated my Ancient Court!"    

    

"Young master doesn't want others to know about this, he has his own considerations. What are you talking about?"    

    

"Are you a member of the Ancient Court or the Divine Sect? The Divine Sect has already forced their way to our doorstep, and they are threatening our young master, damaging our prestige and status in the Ancient Court!"    

    

"Our Ancient Court isn't a godly sect's lackey. There's no need to curry favor with them. Your flattery has actually been bullied by the godly sect!"    

    

All the upper echelons present were red in the face as they scolded Huang Batian loudly.    

    

Regardless of why Jiang Yan hid Xiao Fan, based on Huang Batian's actions, she was indeed harming the ancient courtyard.    

    

Because he wanted to please the Divine Sect and tell them what Jiang Yan did not want others to know.    

    

The members of the Divine Sect had personally come to get him and they had even given him a time limit. After that time limit was over, Jiang Yan would be punished and he would have to pay the price.    

    

This was blatant bullying and didn't take the ancient courtyard seriously.    

    

As a member of the Ancient Court, he had done something that was detrimental to the interests of the Ancient Court. His dignity had been violated, and it wouldn't be wrong to call Huang Batian a traitor.    

    

"For this outsider, don't tell me that you want to ruin the ancient courtyard's future!" He pointed at Xiao Fan who was standing by the side and said: "Divine Sect's words are indeed unpleasant to hear, but regarding the big matter of the Divine Sect Alliance, we can endure it if we can, but we can't do anything about it. We don't even know what you guys are thinking!"    

    

"You must understand that our alliance with the Celestial Sect is not about being their slave, servant, or henchman. We don't want to do what they say. We, Gu Ting, must have our own dignity and dignity. We can't cross this red line!"    

    

"Uncle Huang, your actions have really disappointed me. They have disappointed the entire ancient courtyard, and have shamed the ancient courtyard!" Jiang Yan was so angry that his face flushed red, he clenched his teeth, and all the veins on his forehead popped out.    

    

"Good, good, good! I did it for the good of the Ancient Court, but you guys are treating me like this. Huang Batian was extremely displeased. Pointing at his brothers and sisters, he furiously sighed.    

    

"I am truly sorry. Because of me, I caused your sect to be at odds. I am truly sorry!" Xiao Fan stood out and said apologetically: "Big Brother, since the Divine Sect is looking for me, I'll go and see if they have the ability to bring me back to the Divine Capital!"    

    

For him, the upper echelons of the ancient courtyard had quarrelled and split, and he felt somewhat guilty.    

    

"Brat, you should be the one to understand. Don't bring disaster to our Ancient Court!" Huang Batian looked at Xiao Fan with disdain.    

    

"Calamity? Not necessarily! " Xiao Fan coldly looked at Huang Batian, and said: "On the other hand, you better not do things that would harm the interests of your own people!"
