Obtaining a seat on the Elder Council not only allows one to formulate a series of policies beneficial to their own family but also directly mobilize strong members of other families to work for the Elder Council.
For instance, accompanying the Revival Association, the Song Family, and others on their departure were three Celestial Realm Martial Artists from other families.
Two in the Mid Stage and one in the Early Stage of the Celestial Realm.
Among them, this Early Stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist, if Chen Fan were here, he would recognize at a glance that it was the Liang Family Ancestor, who once vied with him for the Cyan Dragon Fruit.
Director Xu walked towards the three, his attitude respectful, "Younger Xu greets Elder Liu, Elder Bai, and Elder Liang. The cause and effect of this matter must already be known to the three elders, but if not, I can briefly explain."
"No need."
An elder with a square face frowned and said, "Isn’t it just to eliminate the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association? I heard the president of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is only at the Early Stage of the Celestial Realm and has just broken through. Such a trivial matter even requires the three of us to act?"
The other two beside him also showed displeased expressions.
Anyone would be unhappy to be summoned and follow a junior.
However, the situation is compelling, if they refuse, not only will they not enjoy some benefits as before, but they will also face targeting.
"Elder Bai, this matter is not that simple." Xu Lian quickly explained, "The truly formidable one in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is that guy named Chen Fan. Mr. Carl died at his hands, and most likely, the Song Family ancestor was also killed by him."
Upon hearing this, the three Bai Family Ancestors exchanged glances.
"The three elders need not worry, this time going to Jiangnan City, the main forces are the two Song Family ancestors, and the three of you just need to hold the line. If you see that the situation is unfavorable for the two Song Family ancestors, then you can take action." Xu Lian said.
"What about those people?"
The Liang Family Ancestor gestured towards the direction where a dozen Feng Country people were located.
He could sense that several of those people had auras no weaker than his own, and if it really came to a fight, he would most likely be at a disadvantage.
That Chen Fan, even if he was as powerful as described, with these dozen Feng Country people attacking together, killing him would be much easier than if four or five of them did it.
"This..."
Xu Lian showed a look of embarrassment, "Elder Liang, Mr. Kate and his group are quite special. If it really comes down to it, they will act, but it’s best if it doesn’t come to that, otherwise, it would be hard to explain to the five elders."
"Hm, I understand."
The Liang Family Ancestor snorted unhappily.
Once upon a time, he was a renowned figure, using his skill in Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect to suppress countless invincible martial artists.
Now, he has fallen to the role of a henchman, currying favor.
The most unacceptable thing to him was that he had to curry favor with barbarians, no matter how he thought, he could never have imagined this day would come.
"Alright, when the time comes, we will rely on the three elders." Xu Lian bowed and saluted, then quickly walked towards the direction where the Feng Country people were.
"What do you think?"
The Bai Family Ancestor asked in a low voice.
"What can we think?"
The Liang Family Ancestor snorted coldly, "That guy named Chen Fan, let the two old guys from the Song Family deal with him. If there are other enemies, we kill who we can, and if we can’t kill them, we just hold them off."
"Brother Liang is right."
The Liu Family Ancestor, who had not spoken, nodded.
"If we do nothing, we certainly won’t have a good outcome when we return, but if we take it too seriously and get ourselves hurt, it would be too stupid. Hmph, those people probably can’t wait for something to happen to us."
The eyes of the two Bai Family and Liang Family Ancestors gleamed with coldness.
Indeed.
Their families are unlike the five great families who have several Celestial Realm Martial Artists within their ranks.
If something happened to them, it would severely weaken their families.
"In short, act accordingly."
The Bai Family Ancestor concluded.
On the other side, the Song Family members were there, now under pressure from the Feng Country people led by Kate.
"Patriarch Song, this time, your Song Family must bear a great deal of responsibility." An elder dressed in formal attire and full of noble presence stared at Song Lianfeng, "Carl was an important member of our Revival Association and our friend. Just because he followed your Song Family members for a trip to Jiangnan City, he was killed, and we don’t even know where his body is."
"That’s right, Patriarch Song, this matter started because of you, but after so long, you haven’t taken any action and instead have come to us for help. Isn’t that too useless?"
"Patriarch Song, after this matter is concluded, you must give us a satisfactory explanation."
Everyone seemed to be speaking to Song Lianfeng, but in actuality, the words were directed at the two Song Family ancestors beside him.
"Rest assured, after this matter is concluded, my Song Family will give everyone a satisfactory explanation." Song Yuan Platform couldn’t endure it any longer and said.
He had heard from Song Lianfeng about the many benefits these people had reaped from their family over the past few years.
Yet they showed no gratitude and were still trying to exploit his Song Family at this moment.
Song Lianfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, with Elder Song’s assurance, I believe this matter will have a perfect ending."
Xu Lian walked over, smiling, and said.
"Xu, you’re here."
Kate walked up, smiling, "How are the Elder Council’s preparations? If everything is ready, let’s set off. Carl was our good brother, and we can’t wait to tear the murderer who killed him into pieces."
