"The Nineteen Elders?" Looking down at the old man whose realm he couldn't perceive in the slightest, Mu Chen asked curiously, "I thought the Ding Palace only had a few senior Elders?"
Cang Mei chuckled softly. "You jest, Saint Heir. The Ding Palace is the leader of the Nine Hidden Families. If it were only the seven of us, how could we possibly ensure the Palace's safety?"
The hot-tempered Third Elder nodded. "That's right. The Ding Palace has ninety-nine Elders in total. Thirty are Holy Mark Tripod Masters in the Venerable Realm, whose alchemy talents are outstanding but their Martial Arts Realms are somewhat lacking. The other sixty-nine have all reached the Saint Realm."
