Chapter 2005: All Shattered

“Courting death? Haha, why do you think we came here to court death?”

Chen Feng slightly curled his lips, speaking with an amused expression.

“Isn’t it so? This is the Nether Flame Hall. What do you think this place is? Your Chen Family is now the prime enemy of the Nether Flame Hall, and you voluntarily deliver yourself here. What is it if not courting death?”

Elder Zhao asked coldly.

“No, no, no, I think you are gravely mistaken, you know that? The so-called Heavenly Rank army of the Nether Flame Hall, oh, of course, including your Hall Master, they are all dead now. I have even helped bury their corpses. I’m here now to formally annihilate the Nether Flame Hall, not to court death, understand?”

Chen Feng shook his head, speaking indifferently.

After hearing Chen Feng’s words.

Elder Zhao was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing wildly, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

After a burst of laughter.

Elder Zhao lowered his head, looking at Chen Feng, and sneered, “Chen Feng, are you kidding? Do you know how powerful the Heavenly Rank army we sent to the Chen Family this time was? Including our Hall Master, there were as many as three Heavenly Rank Perfection experts. The rest were all Heavenly Rank Experts, adding up to dozens in number. And you say they have all been wiped out; you must be joking, huh?”

“Am I joking? You can try contacting them to find out. Your Nether Flame Hall should have its unique means of communication, right? Or, at least, you should know whether your Sect’s experts are dead or alive? Don’t tell me your Hall lacks even this basic capability, or I would be quite disappointed in your so-called first-rate old force!”

Chen Feng sneered.

“Of course, whether you’re lying or not, I just need to send someone to the Soul Tablet Hall to check it out. The Soul Tablet Hall has Spiritual Tablets of all our Earth Rank and above experts. When someone lives, the tablet lights up; when someone dies, it breaks. We discovered our Great Elder Ming Kun’s death in this way. So, all your lies can be easily exposed by just checking. You don’t need to boast in front of me; you won’t fool me. I’m not a three-year-old, you know?”

Elder Zhao said with disdain.

“Then send someone to check it out!”

Chen Feng sneered.

“Hmph, I see you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin!”

Elder Zhao snorted coldly, then looked at the guard who brought in Chen Feng and Liang Tian, and ordered: “Go to the Soul Tablet Hall and inform the Spiritual Tablet Envoy to check on the Hall Master’s Spiritual Tablet status, and report to me immediately!”

“Yes, sir!”

The guard nodded and quickly turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Elder Zhao turned to look at Chen Feng and Liang Tian beside him.

As he looked at Liang Tian.

His eyes involuntarily lingered on Liang Tian for a moment.

Because he sensed a hint of threatening aura from Liang Tian, knowing that he himself is a bona fide Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, someone who could pose a threat to him must be at least at the same level of strength.

This made a flash of surprise appear in Elder Zhao’s eyes because, as per his knowledge, the Chen Family is just a small family that was established less than a year ago. Although now recognized as an Ancient Martial force, it is only third-rate, at the end of the Ancient Martial World, considered one of the most insignificant ants in the Ancient Martial World.

For such a force to have one or two Heavenly Rank experts is already impressive. How can it possibly have a Heavenly Rank Perfection level expert?

This puzzled Elder Zhao.

Then he furrowed his brows, looking at Liang Tian, and asked coldly, “Who are you? You shouldn’t be from the Chen Family, right?”

“Let me introduce myself, Great Elder of the Chen Family, Liang Tian!”

Liang Tian said calmly.

This identity as Great Elder was also appointed to him by Chen Feng.

After all, Chen Feng promised him earlier that if he could win the battle against the Nether Flame Hall, he would become the Great Elder of the Chen Family.

So now he could announce this identity to the outside world.

“Great Elder Liang Tian of the Chen Family? I’ve only heard of a Great Elder named Liang Tian of the Tie Sect in the Ancient Martial World, also with Heavenly Rank Perfection strength. Could it be, you are that Liang Tian of the Tie Sect? But isn’t your Tie Sect at least a top second-rate force? Why betray and join a third-rate small force like the Chen Family?”

Elder Zhao squinted his eyes, looking at Liang Tian, puzzled.

Because he was in seclusion cultivating for a long time, he was not familiar with current news.

Thus, he was unaware of the matters between the Chen Family and the Tie Sect.

“You’re correct; I was indeed the Great Elder of the Tie Sect. But now I have joined the Chen Family. I am the Chen Family’s Great Elder, living and dying with the Chen Family. With this explanation, you should understand, right?”

Liang Tian nodded, sneering as he spoke.

“Haha, it truly is interesting. They say people strive for higher places, water flows downwards. You, as the Great Elder of the Nether Flame Hall and a dignified Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, should seek a top-tier force if you’re to find a new patron. Yet you allied yourself with a mere third-rate force as your new master. I must say, your aspirations are exceptionally low. Honestly, being a fellow Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, I’m saddened by your choice!”
