Chapter 69 Discussing Matters in the Grand Hall
The Family Head of the Hu looked at Ye Ling and asked.
Ye Ling glanced at him, smiled, and said, "They\'re just unimpressive ants too blind to see their own worth. Why should I save them?"
Upon hearing this, the Hu Family Head fell silent and felt fortunate for the choices he had made!
In fact, Ye Jiu had found quite a few antidotes for their Gu poison from the three people of the Witch Sect.
However, Ye Ling simply didn\'t care for them, and when Ye Jiu handed them to him, he tossed them away in some corner without a care!
"Divine Doctor Ye, this person here has killed Lin Yuan. I fear that soon the strong warriors of the hegemonic hall will seek revenge. You must be careful!"
The Hu Family Head changed the subject from the Gu poison, warning with a concerned expression.
Ye Ling laughed, nodded, and spoke nonchalantly, "I was actually worried they wouldn\'t come."
"You should avoid visiting this villa in the next few days, to spare yourself from being hurt should the people from the hegemonic hall attack."
Upon hearing this, the Hu Family Head nodded and then left the villa.
...
In a mountain forest in the south of the river,
a luxurious grand hall had been built at some unknown time.
The entire grand hall was a rustic brown, exuding dignity at every corner.
Each beam and pillar was engraved with dragons and phoenixes. At each side of the entrance stood a giant stone lion, two meters tall, projecting an aura of authority without anger, displaying a majestic grandeur.
A signboard hung above the grand hall, inscribed with the words, "Hegemonic Hall."
This was the headquarters of the Hegemonic Hall, the premier martial arts faction in the south of the river.
"Upper echelons of the Hegemonic Hall, immediately assemble in the meeting hall!"
A cold voice emerged from the depths of the grand hall, echoing throughout.
As the voice faded, figures emerged from various rooms, moving swiftly towards the meeting hall.
More than a dozen figures, each radiating the powerful aura of a Grandmaster.
Among them, there were even two Great Grandmasters.
These were the core members of the Hegemonic Hall, the very pinnacle of its martial power.
With Lin Zhantian included, there were a total of three Great Grandmasters at the Hegemonic Hall, with more than twenty Grandmasters.
Because many were stationed in various cities across the south of the river, only a dozen Grandmasters were present at the headquarters at that time!
The voice just now belonged to Lin Zhantian, the controller of the Hegemonic Hall, the strongest person in the south of the river!
In the meeting hall, more than a dozen people took their respective seats. Explore stories on empire
Lin Zhantian had not yet appeared, but not a single person showed any signs of impatience. Instead, everyone looked respectful!
"The Family Head has arrived!"
A Great Grandmaster spoke softly, causing everyone in the meeting hall to shift their expressions.
Under everyone\'s gaze, Lin Zhantian slowly walked in from outside the meeting hall.
He bore no aura of power about him, appearing just like an ordinary person.
"We greet the Family Head!"
Once Lin Zhantian had taken his seat, more than a dozen people stood up and respectfully spoke.
Lin Zhantian waved his hand, signaling everyone to be seated.
"Today, I have gathered you all here to discuss a matter," Lin Zhantian\'s gaze swept over those present, and he continued, "The Hegemonic Hall, as the foremost martial faction of the south of the river, has always been unchallenged."
"Yet today, I received news that my nephew Lin Yuan was killed in Gusu City!"
As he concluded, a murmur of astonishment swept through the meeting hall.
"What? Lin Yuan was killed? Who is so bold to dare lay a hand on a member of our Ba Hall!"
"Humph! There already were people bold enough to cripple an administrator of our Ba Hall in Jinling City, and we haven\'t settled that yet. Now, some madman has actually killed Lin Yuan!"
"No matter who they are, anyone who dares to attack a person of our Ba Hall must be executed!"
...
Several people looked furious, then turned their gazes to Lin Zhantian.
Ba Hall belonged to Lin Zhantian!
Every decision of Ba Hall required Lin Zhantian, the Hall Master, to speak before it could be concluded.
"Hall Master, Lin Yuan was the most talented among the young generation of our Ba Hall. At such a young age, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm, and in a few years, he would have stepped into the Great Grandmaster realm!"
"Now that Lin Yuan has been killed by a madman, our Ba Hall must avenge him; otherwise, how will the world view our Ba Hall!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Previously, the incapacitation of our Ba Hall\'s administrator in Jinling City was already being gossiped about in the south. This time, Ba Hall must use thunderous measures to annihilate the madman who killed Lin Yuan!"
A Great Grandmaster looked at Lin Zhantian with a solemn expression and said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhantian nodded his head.
"Coach Shen just called me, saying the person who killed Lin Yuan is the son-in-law of the Su family from Jinling City!"
"There are no Great Grandmasters in Jinling City capable of crippling an administrator of our Ba Hall. It is very likely that this son-in-law of the Su family!"
Lin Zhantian said gravely.
The others\' eyes flickered, a flash of murderous intent evident in their depths.
So what if the other party is a Great Grandmaster?
When it comes to Great Grandmasters, including Lin Zhantian, the Hall Master, Ba Hall has three of them!
In this region of the south, Ba Hall is the absolute pinnacle of martial arts!
"The opponent is merely a Great Grandmaster. Hall Master, why not let me handle this matter? I shall decapitate that thief and bring his head back to Ba Hall!"
Another Great Grandmaster said coldly, his words brimming with murderous aura!
Before Lin Zhantian could speak, a disciple of Ba Hall hurriedly ran into the council hall.
"What is so urgent that you dare to barge into the high-level council of Ba Hall?"
A Grandmaster looked at the disciple and asked coldly.
Trembling under the scrutiny of several Grandmasters and three Great Grandmasters, the disciple did not even pause to rest and immediately said, "Reporting to the Hall Master, my lords, some people calling themselves heads of noble families from Gusu City have arrived!"
"They say they have important matters to report to the Hall Master!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhantian raised an eyebrow, "Let them in!"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
The disciple responded and left.
The people in the council hall fell silent, waiting for the family heads to arrive.
Soon enough, several family heads entered the council hall!
These were the heads of families poisoned by Gu poison. Ye Ling would not save them, and the Zhao family that could have saved them had been destroyed by Ye Ling.
To survive, they had no choice but to place their hopes on the powerful members of Ba Hall.
Initially intending to meet with a Grandmaster of Ba Hall, they did not expect to encounter the high-level council meeting of Ba Hall.
But this was even better; they could meet Lin Zhantian, the Chief Hall Master of Ba Hall, in person.
In the hearts of these family heads, Lin Zhantian, as the number one powerhouse in the south, was powerful and certainly capable of saving them.
"What brings you to our Ba Hall?"
Lin Zhantian scanned the visitors with cold eyes and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, head of the Li family immediately spoke, "Replying to the Hall Master, people from the Witch Sect in Miaojiang have come to Gusu City..."
The head of the Li family did not dare conceal anything and quickly recounted the situation with the Witch Sect and Ye Ling.
