Respectable Clan Leader

Chapter Five: Respectable Clan Leader

Zaner was still in a trance even after the shout. Seeing this, the elder felt quite frustrated. *What's wrong with the Clan Leader today? He was never normal, but today it's too much.

Here we are, conducting a very important meeting, and he is busy daydreaming. Sigh... maybe I'm too ignorant to call it daydreaming, but still...* The elder once again shouted, "Clan Leader!!!!!"

The shout jolted Zaner from his thoughts, scaring him out of his wits. "Uhh... shit, I forgot that I was the Clan Leader."

"Again... why are my thoughts so fucked up?" he wondered. *There is something wrong with my head. Either I'm going crazy, or someone is messing with my thoughts. I need to calm down first.*

He looked at the ancestral board, where only one red light was projected, while every other ray of light was green. It was not a surprise to him, given the influence and reputation of that great elder.

He looked at the person who projected that single red light. "Hmm... another interesting motherfucker, interesting! Huh... how can I feel interested when my death is almost upon me? Nah, nah... calm down, calm down..." he thought, taking a long, deep breath.

*I need to shut off my brain for now. Shut up! Won't I go mental if I shut off my brain? Also, how do I shut off my brain? Cut off my neurons? That would be painful, wouldn't it?

But how would I cut my neurons? I certainly can't do it with a knife or scissors... Scissors? Are there even scissors in this world? I don't think so. I'm sure there must be something like a Scissors Gu. Scissors Gu... I wonder what it looks like...

Nah, fuck, I did it again... Shit, whoever is doing this, I promise I'll make you eat my shit. Shit? There was also a Gu named Shit Eater Gu. Life must be painful for it. I feel bad for it... This motherfucker, stop it!!* he scolded himself.

*I mustn't think too much. Calm down, calm down...* Zaner resolved. He was determined to clear his mind and regain control. *Now I know what to do,* he thought, feeling a sense of clarity.

He then rolled his eyes slowly and looked at everyone. Almost half of them still hadn't projected any vote. They were looking at him, waiting for his decision. These were all members of his faction or, more accurately, his admirers.

*They think I will care about them. If it was the former body holder, he might care about their loyalty. But I don't give a fuck about their hope or thoughts. Why should I care? I don't have any spare space in my brain to think about this useless shit,* he thought.

He got up from his seat and, with vigorous and raged steps, headed toward the entrance of the clan pavilion. He was too frustrated to think about anything. Forget about frustration; he couldn't simply think.

Ren Zheng had his eyes fixed on Zaner, staring at him intently. When he saw Zaner suddenly get up from his seat, he nearly lost his breath. His heartbeat grew faster and faster, and every hair on his body stood on end.

He was stunned for a second but quickly came to his senses. He quickly activated his information path Gu. "Be ready, he is coming!" he warned. All the elders by his side suddenly stood up and started to pump primeval essence into their Gu.

Ren Zheng also took out a strange Gu from his aperture and looked at it. *I ain't dying that easily. I will give it my all, even if I have to sacrifice everything. Nothing is more precious than my life,* he thought resolutely.

"Quickly come here and help me! My primeval essence won't be enough to activate it," he screamed, abandoning the use of Gu to transmit the information as he saw Zaner walking. The three elders also started to pump their primeval essence as fast as they could.

When they were almost done and about to attack, they were stunned and confused. "Huh? What the fuck is going on?" they all screamed simultaneously. Zaner didn't walk toward them but simply headed toward the entrance.

Ren Zheng was the most bewildered of all. "He simply left? Am I in some sort of illusion?" he wondered with confusion, but he still didn't lower his guard. "Maybe it's just an act. But why would he do that? He doesn't need to put on an act just to defeat me. Am I missing something crucial?"

Everyone was astonished by this unexpected action, so no one noticed the strange thing happening with Ren Zheng.

Ren Sasaki and that person with only one red light also looked at him, a small smile appearing on that cold face o theirs.

"Clan leader, what is the meaning of this? Leaving like this is a visible disrespect to our clan and our ancestors. Moreover, departing in this manner... it isn't something a respected clan leader should do," the punishment hall elder said slowly with a suppressed voice.

Zaner merely ignored that comment and continued walking. When he was almost at the entrance, another member of the Zheng faction echoed the same sentiment, showing his agreement with Ren Shui's comment.

Even after that, Zaner didn't give their comments a second thought or response.

"Fuck Off!... I don't have time for this pointless nonsense," were the last words uttered by their revered clan leader before he left the clan pavilion.
