Chapter 418

Protect Nan Xian at all costs? Yunfan knitted his brows. Back when he was at the Sitianjian, he had sensed that the attitude of the four great elders toward the Sitianjian was extremely strange. The legendary Monitor-General, the true ruler of the Sitianjian, had never appeared, and almost all authority was held in the hands of the four great elders. It seemed as though the four elders were the Sitianjian itself. Furthermore, there was a peculiar fact: regardless of the circumstances, the four great elders were required to hold their positions for ten years. Two hundred years ago, the Wind Elder among the four was a man of twisted personality, dark and ruthless. Shortly after assuming his position, he attempted to seize control of the entire Sitianjian and even sought to murder the other three elders, successfully killing one of them. Once the remaining two elders discovered this, they defeated the Wind Elder and imprisoned him in the Sitianjian’s dungeons. Even then, they did not execute him, nor did they revoke his title; they waited until the ten-year term had expired and the next Wind Elder had taken office before finally putting him to death. Examples of this had occurred many times.
