章 1417: The Fight over the Seats

"The Elder Academy has the greatest power in our Budur Ancient Clan. If any clan wants to issue a decree, it must first have the approval of the Elder Academy. If one can control the Elder Academy, he can then control the entire Budur Ancient Clan," Elder Qing Xuan said.

She then added, "Currently, there are 19 seats in the Elder Academy. The Xuan lineage assumes seven of those seats, the Mo lineage assumes six, and our Qing lineage only assumes three. The rest of the lineages share the remaining three seats."

"Only three seats…" Mu Chen frowned at the disappointingly low number.

"When our Qing lineage was at its peak, we had six seats. However, as our strength weakens, we lose more of our seats. Every time there is a Contest of the Lineages, we end up losing one of our seats in the Elder Academy," she said.
