Chapter 247: The Authority of the Grand Elder
There were nearly two hundred people gathered here.
Feng Qingya, Feng Mingyan, and other direct descendants of the Feng family were all present.
The older generation, including Feng Baozhao and Feng Bo, were also in attendance.
The entire Feng family, except for the third elders and sixth elder who were still kneeling in the ancestral hall, and those who were outside receiving guests from Yunmeng City, had gathered here, with more than half of the direct descendants present.
Su Jingzhen and Ye Zhiqiu’s expressions changed slightly.
This was beyond their expectations.
They had thought that after obtaining their agreement, Feng Lie would directly take them to the ancestral hall where the old ancestor was in seclusion.
Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu’s gazes turned to Feng Lie, as if seeking an explanation.
“There are some things that must be done in front of all the members of the Feng family. Please forgive us.
Of course, the four of you will be doing something to save our Feng family, so it’s necessary to let all the direct descendants of the Feng family know about your contributions.”Feng Lie’s words were extremely solemn.
He then looked at all the direct descendants of the Feng family standing in the grand hall.
“As I mentioned earlier, this Alchemy Conference concerns the future of our Feng family.
And now, these four young friends have agreed to help our Feng family.
So, some previous promises should be fulfilled.”
As Feng Lie said this, his gaze fell on Feng Qingya standing at the edge.
The faces of many Feng family direct descendants changed again.
Only Feng Baozhao’s expression remained calm, without any emotions.
But Feng Mingyan’s fists, hidden in his sleeves, had already clenched again.
They, of course, knew what Feng Lie was going to say next.
Even Feng Qingya, who was known for her deep scheme and calm demeanor, had a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Feng Lie continued, “From now on, Feng Qingya will have complete control over all her affairs.
The Feng family will no longer have the right to interfere with any of her decisions.
And from today onwards, Feng Qingya will continue to inherit all the resources previously held by the former family head, Feng Botao!”
The Grand Elder’s tone was extremely authoritative.
His gaze swept across the room, and even the elders standing on Feng Baozhao’s side didn’t dare to speak.
Everyone knew that through this Alchemy Conference, the Grand Elder’s heart had already completely leaned towards Feng Qingya.
It was indeed a disappointment for Feng Baozhao’s branch, and they couldn’t say anything.
At this time, Feng Mingyan’s eyes still showed dissatisfaction, and he looked up at the Grand Elder.
“Grand Elder, everyone knows that our Feng family’s ultimate goal is to awaken the ancestor and let him come out of seclusion.
But what if these four people can’t do this?”
At this moment, saying such discouraging words, it’s unclear whether Feng Mingyan was truly foolish or had been blinded by today’s humiliation.
The Grand Elder’s Nascent Soul late-stage aura suddenly pressed down on Feng Mingyan, causing his body to tremble continuously.
However, his eyes still showed a hint of stubbornness.
The Grand Elder ultimately didn’t do anything to him, only speaking seriously, “Regardless of whether these four friends can awaken the ancestor in the ancestral hall, Feng Qingya’s position will be restored from this moment on!”
At this time, the Grand Elder had already openly displayed his disdain for Feng Mingyan.
This young man had previously been quite pleasing to him.
However, after this series of events, he realized that perhaps there was no one more foolish than this guy among the younger generation of the Feng family.
Even the direct descendants of the Feng family in the grand hall looked at him with a strange gaze.
Only Feng Baozhao remained calm, as if he didn’t care about his son’s foolish behavior at this moment.
Hearing this, Feng Mingyan was completely disheartened.
However, there was a hint of viciousness deep in his eyes.
Ignoring Feng Mingyan, the Grand Elder spoke to the Feng family members again, “Now, there’s no time to waste. I will open the ancestral hall, and let the four friends enter.
Feng Baozhao, where are the things you’ve prepared?”
Feng Baozhao, after all, was only a proxy family head.
In terms of position or any other aspect, he couldn’t compare to the Grand Elder.
At this time, Feng Baozhao respectfully handed over a storage ring.
“Everything has been prepared.”
Feng Lie took it and examined it with his spiritual sense, nodded, and then handed it over to Ye Zhiqiu.
“There are a hundred sets of Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill materials here.
Four young friends, please!”
Feng Lie bowed to the four of them again.
Behind him, Feng Baozhao and all the Feng family direct descendants bowed respectfully to the four of them.
“We entrust this to you four masters!”
Regardless of what some people truly thought, at least on the surface, they had to show respect.
As the words fell, the Grand Elder suddenly took out a dark purple token with the Feng family crest.
The back of the token had extremely complex symbols, with a strong energy fluctuation.
That was his Grand Elder token!
Immediately, the Grand Elder’s Nascent Soul late-stage spiritual power poured into it.
The token then burst out with a very intense dark purple light.
The next moment, Su Jingzhen and the others discovered that the grand hall they were standing in was also suddenly lit up with symbol lights.
“Four friends, this is the first layer of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. The place where my Feng family’s ancestors went into seclusion is at the bottom of the lake.
It’s also the bottom layer of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!
Now, I’ll send you four down!”
As the Grand Elder’s words fell, the symbol lights burst out to the extreme, and a black hole-like passage suddenly appeared on the ground of the grand hall.
And within the passage, there was a very cold and eerie aura emanating out.
Su Jingzhen and the others felt that this place was probably not a good place.
Su Jingzhen’s gaze unconsciously turned to Feng Qingya at the edge.
Among all the people present, he was still willing to believe in Feng Qingya.
The latter smiled softly and nodded slightly.
【Emotional Connection+4】
【Remaining usable points: 137】
Feng Qingya naturally knew that Su Jingzhen was showing his trust in her.
Her heart was slightly touched.
“Since that’s the case, let’s go, Friend Su and Xuening.”
Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu didn’t have any hesitation.
As they came from the Alchemist Association, the Feng family wouldn’t dare to harm them.
In Qingzhou, the Feng family, with just a Treasure Gathering Pavilion, wouldn’t dare to confront the Alchemist Association.
As the words fell, Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu directly jumped into the black passage.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and Xuening exchanged a glance, and Xuening subconsciously grabbed Su Jingzhen’s sleeve.
Su Jingzhen held her hand, and the two of them also jumped in.
After the four of them entered, the Grand Elder directly sat down on the spot.
The passage remained open.
“Alright, I’ll be here. You all can disperse.
Do what you need to do. Tonight, too many forces have entered our Feng family’s estate.
There are things that can’t be avoided.”
………
Earlier, on Wind Bell Island, the third round had ended when the sun had already set.
And now, the night sky was already filled with darkness.
More and more Yunmeng City cultivators were gathering outside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly eerie.
