Chapter 1953 - 1949: Heading to the Fiery Sun Sect
As he spoke up to this point,
Mu Dongcheng let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness.
After all, he really wanted to stay and protect the Chen family, to contribute as much as he could.
However.
Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person with no ability to wield a weapon, capable of helping manage the Chen family at most.
But if it came to fighting for the Chen family and clashing directly with enemies,
that truly wasn’t his strength.
As an ordinary person, let alone dealing with anyone of Heaven or Earth ranks, even a random Yellow rank expert wasn’t someone he could contend with.
So when it came to the Mingyan Hall showdown,
he truly couldn’t offer any help.
All he could do was worry here, feeling anxious.
However, the more it was like this,
the more he worried about the situation of the Chen family over there.
Even though he was currently in Liufang Town,
his heart had long drifted back to the Chen family.
He had a premonition.
This time the Chen family might be in great danger.
After all, since its establishment, although the Chen family had encountered some hurdles, the development during this period had been too smooth, too fast.
And when things go smoothly for too long, there must be a major obstacle.
Obviously.
Mingyan Hall is that major obstacle for the Chen family.
If the Chen family could overcome it, then in the Ancient Martial World they would surely progress smoothly.
If they couldn’t get through, then it would be all over.
No matter what, Mu Dongcheng sincerely hoped that when the Chen family faced danger,
he would stand with Chen Feng.
Even if it meant death,
he wanted to die with the Chen family, with Chen Feng,
rather than hiding alone in the deep mountains, clinging to a miserable life.
After thinking it through,
Mu Dongcheng called his assistant over and instructed, "Keep an eye on the developments in the Ancient Martial World for me recently. If there is any upheaval with our Chen family, inform me immediately and arrange a car for me to return to Coastal!"
"Yes, Chief Steward!"
The assistant nodded promptly.
"Sigh, I hope everything will be safe and sound. I hope that in a few days, the news I hear will be a good one!"
Mu Dongcheng sighed deeply, speaking with resignation.
...
Coastal Chen family.
After arranging everything,
Chen Feng set off with Great Elder Liang Tian, leaving the Chen family for the Fiery Sun Sect.
The Chen family had a relatively excellent intelligence department.
So regarding the location of the Fiery Sun Sect,
Chen Feng was already well-informed.
He drove, taking Liang Tian straight to the Fiery Sun Sect.
Actually,
the Fiery Sun Sect wasn’t far from Coastal.
About an hour’s journey away.
The two arrived at the entrance of the Fiery Sun Sect.
Compared to the grandeur of the second-rate pinnacle power Tie Sect,
the Fiery Sun Sect was just a third-rate small sect.
Its headquarters was not even as good as the Chen family’s, appearing smaller, more backward.
Upon closer inspection, it was basically a large farm with some buildings.
Of course,
for ordinary people,
these buildings were already quite luxurious, as they were essentially villas after all.
But compared to those in the prestigious major sects, they appeared rather humble.
Nevertheless.
Chen Feng speculated that perhaps Mingyan Hall wanted the Fiery Sun Sect to maintain a low profile.
After all, if the Fiery Sun Sect stood out too much, it would easily attract attention.
If others wanted to target the Fiery Sun Sect and put in some effort,
it could easily cause trouble for Mingyan Hall.
To reduce unnecessary trouble,
the Fiery Sun Sect naturally had to keep a low profile, the more low-key, the better.
In fact, without Mingyan Hall,
others might not even know about the sect called the Fiery Sun Sect.
Upon arriving there,
Chen Feng and Liang Tian got out of the car.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and then directly walked towards the entrance of the farm.
However,
just as they reached the farm entrance, two men in black robes walked out from inside.
From the aura fluctuations on their bodies, it could be discerned.
These two were ancient martial artists, and their strength was not weak, both above the Earth Rank.
This surprised Chen Feng and the Tie Sect Great Elder Liang Tian.
Using Earth Rank experts to guard the entrance,
one had to admit, the Fiery Sun Sect indeed had a significant hand.
To know that,
even the Guard Captain of the second-rate pinnacle power Tie Sect, at its peak, was merely at Xuan Rank Perfection.
And now,
the two guards just at the entrance of the Fiery Sun Sect were Earth Rank Middle Stage experts.
This was somewhat extravagant.
And this kind of presence almost approached a top-tier sect.
Normally, a third-rate power simply couldn’t possess this level of strength.
However, if thought about carefully,
the two didn’t find it surprising.
After all, the Fiery Sun Sect was a sect that Mingyan Hall sent experts to protect, allowing for no mistakes.
So even using two Earth Rank experts to guard the entrance made complete sense.
And if there were no surprises,
these two Earth Rank experts should have also been sent by Mingyan Hall.
The black flame mark on their chest was evidence enough.
Because earlier,
the Heavenly Rank experts sent by Mingyan Hall to attack the Chen family also had similar marks on their chests.
Therefore, it was logical that these two were also from Mingyan Hall.
Seeing this,
Chen Feng and Liang Tian didn’t find it unusual.
"Stop, who goes there!"
The two Earth Rank guards glared at Chen Feng and Liang Tian, asking sternly.
Their faces were full of vigilance,
for they were under orders from Mingyan Hall to strictly guard the entrance of the Fiery Sun Sect, not allowing any outsiders to enter.
Moreover, they knew well the importance of the Fiery Sun Grass planted within the Fiery Sun Sect to Mingyan Hall.
So they couldn’t afford to slack off even a little.
As soon as Chen Feng and Liang Tian arrived,
they immediately prepared for a severe challenge, extremely wary.
Seeing this,
Chen Feng raised a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth and said playfully, "Chen Family, Chen Feng, ever heard of it?"
Upon hearing these words,
both gate guards were stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.
But soon, their faces changed dramatically.
Apparently, they had heard of Chen Feng’s name.
After all,
the conflict between the Chen family and Mingyan Hall wasn’t something new.
And it had already spread throughout the Ancient Martial World.
As experts sent by Mingyan Hall, they naturally knew about it.
However, they hadn’t expected it.
To see the Chen family’s Family Head, Chen Feng, appear now at the entrance of the Fiery Sun Sect.
This truly surprised them.
"Why aren’t the people of the Chen family staying there, and instead running here?"
One of the guards immediately glared at Chen Feng, questioning coldly.
"If the people of Mingyan Hall can come here, why can’t I?"
Chen Feng retorted with a cold smile.
"You... you speak nonsense, who says we are from Mingyan Hall!"
The two guards’ faces immediately changed, hurriedly arguing.
"Please, even if you’re disguising yourselves, at least change your clothes, okay? Wearing your Mingyan Hall attire, as if afraid others wouldn’t know you’re from Mingyan Hall, do you really take us for blind?"
Chen Feng gave the guards a disdainful look, speaking with contempt.
