516: C516 Crisis

C516 Crisis

The Zhang Family of the Windy City could also be said to be a famous clan. In terms of background and financial resources, they were more or less the same as the Duan Family, especially in the recent years where the development of the Zhang Family had been even faster and there was a faint momentum for him to surpass the Duan Family.2

Aside from that, the most important thing was that Zhang Family and the Duan Family were both Alchemy Families, and at the same time, they were both elder families within the Windy City. Thus, the Duan Family and the Zhang Family, regardless of identity, position or family background, were indeed well-matched.

Furthermore, the Alchemists Guild s were in fact a certification organization for all of the alchemist s. Simply put, there were many alchemist s present in the entire Light Wind Empire, but the rank of each alchemist was different.

If you want to know what rank you are at, then you need to obtain the Alchemists Guild's authentication. Otherwise, no one will know what kind of strength and rank you are at, and you won't be recognized as a alchemist. That would be a huge hindrance to your future.

To be certified in the Alchemists Guild was a kind of honor, but at the same time, receive preferential treatment and other benefits. Therefore, in the eyes of the alchemist, the Alchemists Guild was equivalent to a Sacred Ground, and was also the safe haven for every alchemist.

In the entire Light Wind Empire, there were no less than five Alchemists Guild, and Windy City's Alchemists Guild was the main branch guild (abbreviated as headquarters).

Amongst the Alchemists Guild, there were the five great clan elders, and they all had great authority in the guild. Duan Family was one of the five clan elders, but right now, her position as an elder was in grave danger.

Every two years, Alchemists Guild would organize a competition to promote the clan elders. The five great clan elders would send out their own young generation to participate, and the ranking would be based on the grade and quality of the pills they refined.

If a certain clan managed to get last place twice in a row, they would be placed on the elimination list. Then, on the third time, there would be a supporting clan participating in the promotion competition, fighting for the position of one of the five great clan elders of Alchemists Guild.

In this competition, if the original elders' clan was still in the last place, then the original elders' clan would be eliminated and their position would be exploited, and the supplementary clan would take over their position as an elder.

If the original elder's family wasn't in the last place, but as long as the supporting family entered the top three, then the original elder's family would also be eliminated and placed in the exploitative position.

In simple terms, in the six competitions, even if the Elder Family obtained the fourth place, as long as the supplementary family obtained the third place, then the Elder Family would be eliminated, even if you could obtain the second place.

Thus, there was only one possibility for the original elder family to keep their own position, and that was to take first place in this competition. That was the only way, regardless of the rank of the later replenishment family, the original elder family would not be eliminated, and would still have their elder position.

Moreover, if the original elder's family obtained first place this time, then no matter what ranking they obtained in the next three years, even if they were to be last, they would no longer be placed on the elimination list, and would only be counted again after three years.

Unfortunately, Duan Family was the clan that ranked last for two consecutive years, and this year's tournament was just the third one. With the knock-out tournament from the later families, Duan Family's situation could be said to be precarious.
