Chapter 592: Crushing the Field!
orou nodded, following Zhao Shuang'er out of the private room and into the opposite one.This private room has no one else in it, and there's a lack of smoke and strong perfume, making it feel much mor...Huaibei, Dongfang Restaurant.
The third floor of the restaurant is a banquet hall.
At this time, the banquet hall was packed with people, at least over two hundred.
These are representatives from major martial arts families and sects in Huaibei.
And at the front of the banquet hall, a platform had been erected.
This place used to host mostly weddings and parties, the atmosphere was always lively.
But today was quite different.
The banquet hall was eerily silent, every face etched with gloom and anxiety. Many even paled, their eyes wide with fear.
The recent upheaval in Huaibei has made these martial arts families and sects, who usually hold high positions of power, feel threatened!
Therefore, today they have joined forces to hold a discussion meeting, discussing how to fight against these so-called immortal beings!
After the Zheng family and Chen family met with misfortunes successively, the position of the first martial arts family in Huaibei fell to the Han family.
Among the three major families that offended Fang Yu, the Han family suffered the least damage, with only one member, Han Qi, who had been assimilated by the Immortal Race, killed. Most of their strength was retained.
Therefore, the one standing on the high platform now is Han Tianci, the great elder of the Han family.
Han Tianci's face was grave as he scanned the entire room, and said, "Today everyone gathered here for a reason, we all know it well, so I won't repeat myself."
"Today, we are going to discuss whether or not to send someone to fight the immortal beings…"
"Or wait for support from the upper-level Martial Arts Association"
The audience was silent, everyone’s expression grave.
"Everyone can share their opinions, and we'll finally decide on a course of action through a vote." Han Tianci said solemnly.
"...I think we have to take action. I just received intelligence that even the Lianhuaibei Martial Arts Association's headquarters has been attacked by creatures from the Immortal Race. I don't know what the higher-level Martial Arts Association is reacting to right now. If we don't take the initiative, those creatures from the Immortal Race will soon come knocking on our door..." Speaking was the head of the Guo family, Guo Ren."
"I agree with Patriarch Guo's point. We truly have no other choice but to take action! If we wait any longer, the Immortal Race beings will surely attack us individually. By then..." Huang Zhengrong, the head of the Huang Family, echoed.
"Yes, judging by what the Immortal Clan is currently doing, their ambitions are enormous. In this situation, we cannot possibly stand alone. We must unite and strike back!" Jiang Tianlong, the head of the Jiang family, also said.
The views of these three people garnered support from many in attendance.
Over these days, they had more or less witnessed or heard about the cruelty of the immortal race beings, and could no longer sit idly by.
In just a single day, the Immortal Clan conquered martial arts associations at all levels in Huaibei.
Soon, it will be the turn of these martial arts families!
"I don't really agree with that."
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.
The speaker was Liang Xue Shan, the eldest elder of the Liang family.
The Liang family has always ranked among the top five martial arts families in Huaibei. Previously, they were only second to the Zheng, Chen, and Han families.
Now that the Zheng and Chen families are no longer as prominent, the Liang family has become the second most influential clan, wielding considerable weight in their words.
“I’ve heard tales of the Immortals’ strength. It is said that even a martial artist at the Martial Venerable realm wouldn’t last two rounds against them,” Liang Xue Shan said, “If we unite and strike proactively, we may not inflict significant damage upon them. On the other hand, if we are defeated, our situation will be extremely perilous.”
"But if we don't take action, things will only get worse! They'll come for us sooner or later!" Guo Ren retorted. "Besides, being able to kill a Martial Venerable-realm expert in one strike is definitely rare among the Immortal Clan! Our top warriors are bound to be able to match them!"
"Yes, I don't believe a newly emerged group would be so much stronger than us!" Huang Zhengrong said.
"Whether it's strong or not, it's not what you think, but what the actual situation is." Liang Xue shan said calmly. "If the immortal race beings were not strong, do you think the Martial Arts Association would be conquered so quickly Or do you think the Martial Arts Association was weak to begin with"
As soon as this statement was made, many people's faces changed.
Indeed, if the Immortal Clan beings weren't so powerful, how could the Martial Arts Association have fallen so quickly
The strength of the Martial Arts Association, even if all these families joined forces, would be unable to resist.
The Immortal Clan took control of all the martial arts associations in Huaibei in just one day.
Even if the opponent is strong, we still have to fight! We delay until the Upper Realm Martial Arts Association sends reinforcements, otherwise…", Guo Ren said with a grim face.
"No, we can completely choose another path," Liang Xue Shan said.
"How" asked Han Tianci from atop the platform.
Liang XueShan turned around and looked at Han TianCi, slowly saying: “We don’t necessarily have to become enemies with the Immortal Clan. We can temporarily compromise and avoid direct conflict. We can wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack. I think this is the best way to handle the situation right now.”
Han Tianci narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think the Immortal Clan would negotiate with us and accept our compromise"
Liang Xueshan smiled and said, "Of course, they only want to rule Huaibei, there's no need to kill all of us. And we, in fact, can be very helpful to them."
Han Tianci looked at Liang Xue shan's slightly eerie smile and felt something was wrong.
"In fact, I have invited three esteemed members of the Immortal Race to join our discussion today."
Liang Xue Shan's smile became even brighter, and a faint red glow appeared in her eyes.
"Bang!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the grand doors at the back of the banquet hall swung open with a bang.
Three figures walked into the banquet hall.
They were clad in black cloaks, and unlike most of the grotesquely shaped undead creatures, they had a humanoid form, though they stood almost three meters tall.
But their limbs and faces remained monstrous, consisting only of bone with no flesh visible.
Two dark eye sockets only had two red dots flashing, showing their vitality.
They strode into the banquet hall, still radiating an intensely frigid aura, their presence carrying a formidable weight of intimidation.
Seeing the three humanoid monsters approach, many people in the banquet hall looked terrified and backed away.
"Elder Liang, what do you mean Our discussion today…" Huang Zhengrong's face darkened as he questioned.
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, Liang Xueshan struck with a palm, sending him flying.
Huang Zhengrong fell to the ground over twenty meters away, rolling several times before coming to a stop, unconscious.
All present were representatives of various clans and sects, none of them fools.
Seeing this, they all understood clearly that Liang Xue Shan had betrayed them!
He joined the Immortals!
Today, almost all the top figures from every prominent family and sect are here... there's a high chance we could all be wiped out!
Now we're doomed!
When many people saw Liang Xue shan attacking Huang Zhengrong, their hearts sank to the bottom.
On the high platform, Han Tianci's face was ashen, staring at Liang Xuěshān with eyes full of anger.
"My lords, most of the people have arrived." Liang Xueshan bowed respectfully to the three humanoid monsters as they approached.
The humanoid monster, who had started with a “Good job,” spoke in a deep voice.
"That's too much praise." Liang Xue Shan said, almost fawningly, and stepped aside.
"We are here today for one reason."
The humanoid monster scanned the room and spoke.
"Submit, or... die."
This one sentence dropped the temperature in the room.
Kill intent rose and filled the entire banquet hall!
A chill ran through everyone present, draining the color from their faces.
Faced with this imposing presence, no one dared to speak.
The humanoid monster turned and looked at Han Tianci on the platform.
“Are you the leader here” the humanoid monster asked.
“I am Han Tianci, the eldest elder of the Han family,” said Han Tianci.
"Good."
The humanoid monster extended its right claw toward Han Tianshi.
Han Tianci immediately felt a powerful suction force coming towards him!
"Boom!"
Han Tianci's face changed, gritting his teeth, his cultivation aura completely erupted.
Peak of the Martial Venerable Realm!
The entire platform, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed instantly!
"Is this the leader So weak" The humanoid monster spoke coldly, extending its right claw forward.
That suction power, instantly multiplied several times!
Han Tianci could no longer hold on, his whole body flying towards the humanoid monster's right claw.
The next second, Han Tianci's right chest was pierced by claws, blood splattering.ent. 。To Fang Yu's surprise, the floor of this room was covered with a formation. 。This is an extremely complex magical formation. There are many intricate lines drawn on the ground, and at every corn...
