In other words, no matter how the Xia Clan may split, there is only one Clan Leader Totem, which symbolizes the Xia Clan and is the source of the Xia Clan's bloodline inheritance. The Jade Totem not only represents the Xia Clan but is also fundamental to the continuation of the Xia Clan's bloodline.
Without the Jade Totem, the power of the Xia Clan's bloodline would gradually dissipate, eventually vanishing entirely, reducing them to ordinary people.
Therefore, unless someone has a special status, any member of the Xia Clan, upon seeing the Jade Totem, is essentially seeing the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader's presence is like that of an ancestor's to them, and all the Xia Clan members always believe that the Jade Totem will protect them.
And no matter where he is, as the Clan Leader, Su Yu will receive the reverence of the Xia Clan members. Similarly, he also has the authority to punish the members of the Xia Clan.
