Chapter 1942 - 1938: Only One Outcome

As long as the Chen Family shows signs of defeat, or falls into disadvantage.

Mingyan Hall will definitely seize the chance to wipe out the Chen Family; there absolutely won’t be the slightest room for negotiation or compromise.

After all, the Chen Family had previously wiped out two successive waves of Heavenly Rank Experts sent by Mingyan Hall.

If you seriously count it up, that’s a total of 13 Heavenly Rank Experts.

Even if Mingyan Hall is a top-tier force, to lose 13 Heavenly Rank Experts in one go...

For Mingyan Hall, that is definitely a very significant loss.

So.

Mingyan Hall will definitely not spare the Chen Family.

So long as they get the chance, they’d love nothing more than to grind the Chen Family and Chen Feng’s bones to dust, exterminate them to the last.

So, this great battle.

The Chen Family can only win, not lose; there is not the slightest path of retreat.

As for seeking peace, that’s not even worth thinking about.

There is absolutely no such possibility.

Because Mingyan Hall will never give the Chen Family that chance.

Their hatred for the Chen Family is carved into their bones; if the Chen Family is even a bit careless, there’s a very high chance Mingyan Hall will seize the opportunity and annihilate them in one stroke.

So this battle is one that concerns the fate of the Chen Family, and it is also the Chen Family’s fight with their backs to the river.

Victory or defeat, win or lose.

For the Chen Family, it is of utmost importance.

Moreover, this battle is also the turning point of the Chen Family’s destiny.

After all, if they win...

Then the Chen Family will truly soar to the heavens in a single leap.

Mingyan Hall will become the stepping stone for the Chen Family to stand at the Peak of the Ancient Martial World.

And if they lose...

Then this newly risen force that has existed for not even a year...

Will draw a final period and march toward destruction.

So, regarding this battle...

Chen Feng doesn’t dare be the slightest bit careless.

After all, the enemy is still extremely powerful.

Even though the Chen Family now has sufficient confidence.

When facing this established top-tier force that has developed for several hundred years...

Chen Feng still needs to be cautious and careful, to do everything in his power to respond.

Only then is there a slim chance of victory.

If he’s careless, then there really will be no hope.

...

Mingyan Hall.

Ever since Hall Master Ming Lun made his decision...

He immediately gathered together all experts of Mingyan Hall at or above the Heaven Rank.

It had to be said.

As a top-tier, long-established Sect, Mingyan Hall...

Its underlying foundation is naturally extremely deep.

The number of Heavenly Rank Experts it possesses is also extremely considerable.

Even not counting the 13 Heavenly Rank Experts who previously fell at the Chen Family.

At present—

Mingyan Hall still has more than thirty Heavenly Rank Experts under its command.

More than half of them are at the Heavenly Rank Late Stage.

From this it can be seen how powerful Mingyan Hall truly is.

This is the kind of heritage possessed by an old, top-tier Sect.

Ordinary top-tier forces fundamentally cannot contend with a force of Mingyan Hall’s level.

Of course.

This is only counting the Heavenly Rank Experts.

As a top-tier force...

Heavenly Rank Perfection experts are the true pillars, and the source of its real confidence.

And Mingyan Hall possesses as many as five Heavenly Rank Perfection experts.

Across the entire Ancient Martial World...

That’s enough to rank in the top five.

It is precisely because they have so many Heavenly Rank Experts...

That Mingyan Hall can stand at the Peak of the Ancient Martial World; it can be considered one of the relatively powerful top Sects in the current Ancient Martial World.

At this moment...

Ming Lun directly issued an order, summoning all of the Heavenly Rank Experts to his residence in one go.

In an instant...

Ming Lun’s villa was filled with surges of powerful auras.

With so many auras stacked together, any ordinary expert who saw this would have their scalp go numb.

Ming Lun sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the many Heavenly Rank Experts standing before him; he nodded in satisfaction, then said in a deep voice, "I called all of you here—presumably you should know the reason, right?"

"Hall Master, we’ve all heard about the specifics of what happened. That Chen Family was actually able to repeatedly kill more than ten of our Mingyan Hall’s Heavenly Rank Experts. It shows their strength is anything but simple. I’m afraid within their Sect, there must be a Heavenly Rank Perfection Level expert guarding them!"

One of the Heavenly Rank Experts frowned and spoke.

As soon as these words came out...

All the Heavenly Rank Experts present nodded.

Clearly they all had the same thought.

Otherwise, the second time when Mingyan Hall sent those ten Heavenly Rank Late Stage experts to attack the Chen Family, they should have been able to wipe out the Chen Family no matter what.

Only if the Chen Family had a Heavenly Rank Perfection Level expert sitting in town could they possibly have slaughtered all of those experts.

Otherwise...

With those ten joining hands and trying to break out, under Heavenly Rank Great Perfection, basically no one could have stopped them.

Yet now...

Not one of the ten managed to run back alive.

This is enough to prove that the Chen Family absolutely has a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert in residence.

Otherwise such a thing would be impossible.

"Mm, I was thinking the same; looks like I really underestimated this Chen Family before. So this time, I’ve called all of you over to gather the full strength of our Sect and annihilate this Chen Family, including the Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Feng!"

Ming Lun nodded and said indifferently.

Hearing this, all the Heavenly Rank Experts were stunned.

"Hall Master, isn’t this making a bit too big a fuss?"

One of the Heavenly Rank Experts looked at Ming Lun with some confusion and asked.

"Making a fuss? Our Mingyan Hall has practically lost face all the way to our ancestors’ graves! First, Great Elder Ming Kun fell at the hands of the Chen Family’s Chen Feng. Now we’ve attacked the Chen Family twice in a row and still haven’t taken them down. If we still can’t bring down the Chen Family this time, where do you think our Mingyan Hall is supposed to put its face?"

Ming Lun shot that Heavenly Rank Expert a glare and asked coldly.

In fact...

After receiving news of his own elder brother—Great Elder Ming Kun’s—death...

The moment their investigation pointed to Chen Feng...

Ming Lun knew that Chen Feng was very likely the killer.

And now, after he sent two waves of Heavenly Rank Experts in succession to attack the Chen Family and neither succeeded...

This only further strengthened the conviction in his heart.

After all, this is already enough to prove that there must be a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert stationed within the Chen Family.

So it is highly likely—or rather, it can already be confirmed—that it was Chen Feng and the Chen Family who killed Great Elder Ming Kun.

Hearing this...

Those Heavenly Rank Experts who had been thinking of persuading Ming Lun all abandoned the idea.

They knew Ming Lun’s mind was made up.

And just as Ming Lun said...

If Mingyan Hall still fails to take down the Chen Family this time...

They really will have no face left to call themselves a top-tier Sect.

In that moment...

All the Heavenly Rank Experts nodded and said in agreement, "We are willing to go through fire and water for the Hall Master, without hesitation!"

"Mm! Very good. There’s no time to lose. The joke Mingyan Hall has become is already big enough; we must completely exterminate the Chen Family within three days and let those people in the Ancient Martial World know that our Mingyan Hall is not some pretty but useless paper tiger. Those who dare offend Mingyan Hall have only one end—that is death!"

Ming Lun nodded, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
