Chapter 1867 - 1863: Meeting
"Could it be, Hall Master, that Chen Feng has invited outside help, or perhaps some sects in the Ancient Martial World are close to the Chen Family and helped Chen Feng kill Elder Zhang and the others?"
One of the Heavenly Rank Experts speculated.
"That’s unlikely. The intelligence is very clear that Elder Zhang and another Heavenly Rank Expert both fell at the hands of Chen Feng. Moreover, the three Heavenly Rank Experts we dispatched this time were suddenly decided by me, so there’s no way the Chen Family could have been forewarned and had time to seek outside help."
"Besides, in today’s Ancient Martial World, what sect would dare to oppose our Ming Yan Hall? Would they risk offending us to help the Chen Family? It’s unlikely, so Chen Feng definitely possesses a strength beyond the Heavenly Rank Late Stage, that is without a doubt!"
Ming Lun shook his head, speaking in a deep voice.
Though he was also very reluctant to admit it.
But that’s the fact!
No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, he had to accept it.
In his view, Chen Feng had now grown to a certain extent, no longer something that could be easily crushed.
This made him regretful.
If back then, when the eight major forces united to attack the Chen Family.
Had he been more ruthless and directly sent a few Heavenly Rank Late Stage experts.
Perhaps then, the Chen Family could have been wiped out directly.
Things would not have escalated to this.
But now look at the situation.
The death of the Great Elder is related to Chen Feng.
And three more Heavenly Rank experts have fallen at the hands of Chen Feng.
It’s truly a headache!
The Heavenly Rank experts present nodded after hearing what Ming Lun said.
Because Ming Lun did make some valid points.
In such a short time.
The Chen Family clearly did not have the time to call for reinforcements, they had to rely on themselves.
That means, Chen Family Patriarch Chen Feng indeed has the strength to contend against Heavenly Rank Late Stage experts!
This made everyone’s brows furrow.
They remained silent for a while.
One of the Heavenly Rank experts rolled his eyes and suddenly looked at Ming Lun, saying, "Hall Master, if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean the Great Elder’s death is really related to the Chen Family?"
"Yes, it’s most likely related to the Chen Family, related to Chen Feng. It seems the previous intelligence was not wrong. Even if Chen Feng isn’t the mastermind, he must have been involved! Therefore, from this moment on, Chen Family’s Chen Feng will be the mortal enemy of our Ming Yan Hall! Whether it’s the death of Great Elder Ming Kun or the fall of our two sect’s Heavenly Rank experts, Ming Yan Hall and the Chen Family are now sworn enemies!"
Ming Lun nodded, speaking coldly through gritted teeth.
"Hall Master is right, this Chen Family must not be spared, especially their Patriarch Chen Feng, who dared to kill our sect’s Heavenly Rank experts. He needs to be flayed and his bones crushed to dust to truly vent our fury!"
"Indeed! And that traitor Molan, she’s a true ingrate. If it weren’t for Ming Yan Hall back then, she would have starved to death, let alone become a Heavenly Rank expert! And now, she has actually defected to the Chen Family! When our Ming Yan Hall army breaks through the Chen Family, we cannot let her go!"
"I agree! We must severely punish the Chen Family, severely punish the traitors! Not a single one of Chen Feng, the Chen Family, and Molan can be spared! Otherwise, where will our Ming Yan Hall place its dignity? We must let the Ancient Martial World know that anyone who offends our Ming Yan Hall will have no good end!"
In an instant, the Heavenly Rank experts spoke righteously and indignantly.
"Alright, since we have reached a consensus, I will soon convene another high-level meeting to officially declare that Ming Yan Hall and the Chen Family are at war. I will let this news spread across the Ancient Martial World. At that time, the other forces in the Ancient Martial World will surely understand where to stand!"
Ming Lun said coldly.
"Since Ming Yan Hall has spoken, other forces will surely take our side, as the Chen Family is nothing but an upstart barely established for a year, with no foundation and very few experts. No force would risk standing with them!"
A Heavenly Rank expert spoke disdainfully.
"Hmm!"
Ming Lun nodded, then waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you may all go for now. I’ll have someone notify you when it’s time for the meeting in the Great Conference Hall!"
"As you wish, Hall Master. Calm your anger! The Chen Family and Chen Feng are but ants; once our Ming Yan Hall acts, we can easily crush them. Do not get angry over such trifles!"
Before leaving, a Heavenly Rank expert looked at Ming Lun, comforting him.
Then he and the other Heavenly Rank experts left Ming Lun’s residence together.
Once those Heavenly Rank experts left.
Ming Lun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then swung his right palm, slamming it onto the tea table before him.
Instantly, the tea table turned to ashes.
Ming Lun stood up, narrowing his eyes, which gleamed with a cold light, and looked outside the door, saying coldly, "Chen Feng, this grudge between us is irreconcilable. Even if I wanted to let it go, I cannot! You dared to kill my Ming Yan Hall’s experts and even swayed them to join your Chen Family. You’re determined to trample on our Ming Yan Hall’s dignity. As a top-tier force in the Ancient Martial World, we cannot swallow this insult! Just watch, within three days, I will let your Chen Family be utterly doomed!"
With that said.
Ming Lun got up directly and walked toward the Conference Hall.
About ten minutes later.
Ming Yan Hall, Conference Hall.
Ming Lun sat at the head of the conference table.
The other Heavenly Rank experts and the high-level members of Ming Yan Hall sat on either side.
Those who could attend this meeting.
They could be considered the absolute core of Ming Yan Hall.
If not Heavenly Rank experts, they were important high-level members.
Of course, Heavenly Rank Perfection level experts were all in secluded cultivation, so they did not attend.
Everyone below Heavenly Rank Perfection was present.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Ming Lun took a deep breath, then looked at everyone present and said solemnly, "You should all have heard the situation, right?"
With these words.
The entire place fell into silence.
At this moment.
The head of intelligence, sitting at the end of the conference table, immediately stood up from his chair, deeply bowing to Ming Lun with a face full of apology, "I’m truly sorry, Hall Master, it was my subordinate’s recklessness earlier that disturbed your cultivation. I have already severely punished him, and I ask for your continued forgiveness!"
