Chapter 1224: Inner Sect Elder Emil!

Just a few minutes later, after the theft of Crimson Platinum, a tall, wizened human with long crimson hair and donned in long crimson robes appeared; it was none other than the Inner Court Elder of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, Elder Emil.

Elder Emil was one of the few elders who didn't hail from the four clans; nonetheless, he was still part of a clan that had been under the Oriente Clan's rule for six generations.

This means that his clan ancestor achieved inner-sect elder status on his own before the Oriente clan took him under its wing. After Emil achieved the Ascension Master Realm, he and his clan got to enjoy the fruits of his ancestor's labor because of his ancestor's connection with the Oriente Clan.
