Capítulo 5035: The Cheng Clan of Longnan
The Supre Elder narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening as a terrifying aura of murderous intent radiated from him.
“What an ignorant, insolent woman! She dares to inflict such grievous wounds upon my clan, yet expects us to co to her doorstep to apologize and make ands? She truly deserves to die!” Cheng Wanshan’s voice was deep and ominous, his chest heaving violently with rage.
The Supre Elder then demanded, “What does this woman look like? How old is she? What distinguishing features does she have? Describe her carefully. I want to see just who this upstart is who dares to speak with such insolence!”
“Yes, the woman wore azure robes. Her features were rely plain and ordinary, nothing remarkable. If anything, it was the terrifying aura emanating from her. At the ti, I was rely glanced at by her, yet I felt my entire body grow icy cold, as if plunged into hell. It was truly dreadful.”
Recalling that mont, the guard’s face paled slightly, and he couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.
“Supre Elder, how shall we handle this matter?” Cheng Wanshan looked at him inquiringly, his voice suppressing anger and murderous intent.
The old man stroked his beard, paused for a mont, and asked, “What of Wanli? And the others—have they all been seen by doctors?”
“They have. All have had their cultivation completely stripped away. Their inner cores shattered, they can never cultivate again. The four reverends are barely clinging to life, death imminent. As for Wanli, besides his cultivation being destroyed, he bears multiple wounds. Even if he doesn’t die imdiately, he’ll live as nothing but a cripple.”
As he spoke, his fist clenched tightly, cracking audibly.
That damned woman in green! He longed to go personally and cripple her, making her taste a life worse than death!
“To cripple four revered elders, this woman’s cultivation must be formidable. Very well! You send n to investigate the identity of the woman described by the guards. I’ll go with several Supre Elders to seek the Patriarch’s guidance on how to handle this matter.”
“Understood. I’ll dispatch investigators imdiately.” Cheng Wanshan replied, knowing full well that the Patriarch’s final decision would most likely be to send several Supre Elders to the Song family to annihilate both the Song clan and that woman in green!
After all, they had crippled a mber of the Cheng family—a direct affront to the family’s honor! Given the Cheng family’s current standing and influence, how could they tolerate such humiliation from a re Song family? If the Song family wasn’t annihilated, how could the Chengs maintain their foothold in Longnan?
That night, in the Cheng family’s council hall, the nine seated elders sat within the chamber. At the head of the table sat an elderly man with hair and beard as white as snow.
Though his hair and even his eyebrows were snow-white, his complexion was rosy, and his spirit seed robust. Yet now, his face was grave, his lips pressed together as he surveyed the assembly and asked, “What are your views on this matter?”
“What’s there to consider? They carved the na of the Cheng family, yet they’ve brought sha upon us. The Song family and that mysterious woman in green—they cannot be spared!” declared a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties.
He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, but his true age was anyone’s guess. After all, those seated in this council hall were certainly no ordinary individuals.
“Indeed, the Song family must not be spared. They must be wiped out! To prove the might of the Cheng family of Longnan!” another declared.
“Has the identity of that woman in green been thoroughly investigated?” another inquired, turning his gaze toward Cheng Wanshan seated nearby.
