The hall suddenly became quiet, a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone’s eyes focused on the young man who had appeared suddenly.
His appearance was so abrupt that they had not noticed him at all, it was too eerie.
Moreover, for some reason, they thought he looked somewhat familiar, as if they’d seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember.
"You are? Chen Fan!"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing an uproar.
Almost everyone was extremely terrified, their faces pale as paper.
Some were so frightened that their legs went limp, and with a thud, they sat down on the ground.
Yes.
They recognized him.
The young man before them was the ruthless person who killed their Song Family’s three ancestors and two patriarchs!
But, shouldn’t he be in Jiangnan City? How could he appear here?
"You, what do you want to do!"
The old man forced himself to stare at Chen Fan calmly, even though his legs were involuntarily shaking.
As for those few who had earlier scrambled to divide the inheritance, they were already scared silent.
"I warn you, this is Baijiang City, if you dare wreak havoc here today, you absolutely won’t walk out of this city!"
The elder regained some courage at this moment, the legs that were trembling earlier also stopped shaking.
After all, he had lived a long life and enjoyed its pleasures. Standing up in such a crisis, even if it meant dying, could leave him with a good name.
If he begged for mercy like the others and survived, he would be despised by them.
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan smiled indifferently.
His current strength might be somewhat stretched when confronting the Elder Council.
Moreover, among the three S-Class Awakened, the Ice Emperor was also here.
If he went directly to the Elder Council, it would be unwise.
However, whether it’s the Elder Council or the Ice Emperor, it was unrealistic to keep him.
This was his assurance to come here so boldly.
To the Song Family, his innocent-looking smile seemed sinister and terrifying, sending chills down their spines.
Even without thinking, they knew this guy killed Celestial Realm Martial Artists like chickens, it would be even easier for him to kill them.
Instantly, each of them regretted deeply.
Had they known, they shouldn’t have come.
The most laughable part was they had hoped to divide the benefits; being alive was already a miracle.
"Don’t worry."
Chen Fan looked around and said, "I am here not to kill you, but to ask you to deliver a message to the Elder Council."
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, hearing the latter part, their faces showed puzzled expressions.
Could it be he was afraid and wanted to ask them to plead for peace with the Elder Council?
"What do you want us to say?"
The old man asked cautiously.
"Very simple. Killing the members of the Revival Association and the Elder Council was my doing, no one else is involved. If you want revenge, come find me. If you seek others, don’t blame me for returning an eye for an eye."
As Chen Fan finished speaking, the temperature of the whole space dropped a few degrees.
Rather than a message, these words were more like a warning.
He wasn’t a guard; he couldn’t stay at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association 24/7 to ensure Shi Tao and others’ safety.
Moreover, doing so would make it difficult for him to quickly enhance his strength to deal with the upcoming attack of the four Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts in a few days.
So he had thought up this way.
If the Elder Council made a move against Shi Tao and others.
Then he would act against the families of the Elder Council.
If those families were not fools, they wouldn’t take any action against Shi Tao and others, and might even protect their safety. Because once the latter were in trouble, regardless of whether it was the Elder Council’s doing, he would start a massacre.
Certainly, the consequence of this would also bring the Elder Council’s crazy retaliation.
After all, no one likes being threatened, let alone those in high places.
Fortunately, he did not intend to stop just here.
Since the Elder Council dared to send people to Jiangnan City, they should be prepared to be visited.
The members of the Song Family soon understood the implication in Chen Fan’s words.
Some showed a complex expression in their eyes.
Though they were enemies, they had to admit, this guy was a real man.
"Fine, I’ll pass your words to the Elder Council."
The old man responded impassively.
His heart leaping with joy.
In any case, his life should be spared.
Moreover, once these words reached the ears of the elders of the Elder Council, for the safety of their families, they would fight Chen Fan relentlessly.
This could also be considered as avenging the deceased members of the Song Family.
Chen Fan slightly nodded.
"Also, the same goes for you. If you want revenge, come find me. If I find out you’ve targeted others in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, then the Song Family will no longer have a reason to exist."
Leaving these words, he disappeared from the spot.
As if everything that just happened had been a mere illusion.
However, none of those present dared to speak. They stood like wooden stakes, unmoving, with cold sweat pouring down like rain.
Making the entire Song Family, cease to exist.
If someone else had said these words, they would only mock them for overestimating themselves.
But hearing it from Chen Fan, they had no doubts, because he was the ruthless man who dared to kill members of the Elder Council in broad daylight, in full public view.
