Chapter 423: Chapter 422: Four Great Elders Take Action【Seven Updates】 Chapter 423: Chapter 422: Four Great Elders Take Action【Seven Updates】 The incident at the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment spread quickly.

The son of the Song Family Patriarch, Song Ming, had been captured!

Captured by people from the Flame Adventure Team!

When everyone first heard the news, they found it hard to believe.

However, after multiple confirmations, they knew it was a fact.

It was indeed hard to imagine!

In Haofeng City, there was someone or some force bold enough to kidnap Song Ming!

The name of the Flame Adventure Team reverberated fiercely throughout Haofeng City.

Inside the Zhang Family Mansion.

Zhang Yibing slowly paced within the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.

He had received the news when Song Ming and Elder Song Lu of the Song Family were heading to the Flame Adventure Team.

He was also paying attention to how the conflict between the Flame and the Song Family would develop.

Thus, he had long since sent several people to the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment to gather information.

Inside this Clan Chief’s Courtyard, several Zhang Family elders were also present.

“In the Flame Adventure Team, only the Team Leader Li Yong is a Martial Artist of the Early Innate Realm.

Jing Yan’s cultivation is hard to gauge.

If Song Lu and the people of Flame fight, who knows what will happen,” an elder casually analyzed.

“Li Yong’s temperament is quite steady, and he knows what consequences would follow from a complete fallout with the Song Family!” another Zhang Family elder shook his head.

At this moment, a Zhang Family guard entered the mansion.

This guard was one of those Zhang Yibing sent to gather news.

“What’s the situation?” Zhang Yibing asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Song Ming has been captured, Elder Song Lu returned alone to the family,” the guard quickly announced.

“Eh?”

“What?”

“The son of the Song Family Patriarch, Song Ming, has been kidnapped?”

The elders, who were sitting in the courtyard, suddenly stood up, staring at the guard in shock.

The guard’s words made it clear that the Flame Adventure Team had completely fallen out with the Song Family.

Capturing Song Ming was something the Song Family would never tolerate.

“Yes, it’s said that Elder Song Lu was also injured,” the guard continued.

The expressions of Song Yibing and others slightly changed.

Elder Song Lu was injured?

By whom?

Likely only one person, that would be Jing Yan!

Because within the Flame Adventure Team, the strongest, Li Yong, wouldn’t be a match for Song Lu.

The only variable was Jing Yan.

“This Jing Yan, he’s really too audacious.

He dared to injure Song Lu and even kidnap Song Ming?”

“I really didn’t see it coming.

When Jing Yan visited our Zhang Family, he seemed so gentle and elegant, appearing very refined.

I didn’t expect him to have such audacity!

Moreover, it seems his strength is indeed strong enough to injure Song Lu…”

“What foolish audacity, he’s just courting death!

Does he think he can contend with the Song Family?

I fear this Jing Yan will bring disaster upon our Zhang Family!” a previously skeptical elder coldly snorted.

Hearing this elder’s words, everyone else fell silent.

Indeed!

What Jing Yan did could also bring trouble to the Zhang Family.

If the Song Family found out that Jing Yan had connections with the Zhang Family, in their fury, would they extend their wrath to the Zhangs?

“Fortunately…

Zhang Yu didn’t follow Jing Yan.

Otherwise, it would really be hard to distinguish,” Zhang Yibing said, relieved.

“You go back and continue to keep an eye on the Song Family members, as they might take action soon!” Zhang Yibing then instructed the guard.

“Yes!” the guard responded and left.

The Song Family Mansion!

Upon returning to the family, Song Lu immediately headed straight to the patriarch’s courtyard.

Along the way, the Song Family disciples who saw Song Ming’s condition were all agape in astonishment.

Song Zhongshan, a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse and the Song Family Patriarch, could make the entire city tremble by stomping his feet in Haofeng City.

Song Zhongshan had three sons, with Song Ming being the youngest.

In terms of Martial Arts Talent, Song Ming was the least gifted.

However, Song Zhongshan was particularly fond of Song Ming, partly because of Song Ming’s mother.

When Song Zhongshan heard that Song Ming had been captured at the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment, his expression turned extremely cold.

The chill in his eyes made Song Lu, standing before him, feel cold all over.

“Song Ming was captured, and you have the face to come back?” Song Zhongshan’s uniquely deep voice emitted from his mouth.

“Patriarch, it’s not that I didn’t do my best, but the martial artist named Jing Yan is too strong.

Look, I was also injured.

Moreover, since Young Master Song Ming was captured, I had to be cautious not to hurt him,” Song Lu defended himself.

“Useless!” Song Zhongshan’s presence burst forth violently!

Song Lu continuously retreated, bowing his head, not even daring to look up at Patriarch Song Zhongshan.

As for Song Zhongshan calling him useless, he could only quietly curse a few times in his heart.

If he himself was useless, then wouldn’t Song Ming be the useless among the useless?

Just an expendable, despite the massive resources used on Song Ming, there was still a good chance to advance to the Innate.

Yet, Song Ming had not yet broken through to the Innate stage.

“Call Elder Song Li over!” Song Zhongshan’s suppressed voice commanded.

“Yes!” Song Lu responded immediately, turning swiftly and leaving.

In front of Song Zhongshan, the pressure was too great for him.

Just now, he had even worried that Song Zhongshan might strike him.

Although he was a Song Family elder, he was only a very ordinary elder, far inferior to elders like Song Li.

Even if Song Zhongshan killed him personally, it was unlikely to cause any gossip within the family!

Elder Song Li, the Song Family Great Elder, was a powerhouse at the Innate Peak Realm, close to the Dao Spirit Realm.

“Patriarch, you were looking for me?” Elder Song Li came and greeted Song Zhongshan with a bow.

Song Lu had only told him that the patriarch wanted him, without specifying the matter.

Thus, he was still unaware of Song Ming being detained by the Flame Adventure Team.

“Elder Song Li, I need you to make a trip!” Song Zhongshan had regained his composure, speaking in a calm and even voice, his attitude toward Song Li completely different from that toward Song Lu, “This boy Song Ming has been held by the Flame Adventure Team.

I’d like you to bring him back.

Oh, and bring Gao Zhan with you.”

Song Zhongshan’s tone was very casual.

Elder Song Li’s eyes flashed, quickly understanding the situation.

He had heard about Song Ming and the Flame issue but hadn’t paid much attention.

“After ensuring Song Ming’s safety, just exterminate the Flame.

Hmm, I don’t want to see anyone from Flame ever again,” Song Zhongshan said indifferently, but his words carried a chilling murderous intent.

Not wanting to see anyone from Flame ever again meant he intended to eradicate the Flame completely.

“Understood!” Elder Song Li responded.

After leaving the patriarch’s courtyard, Elder Song Li found three other Song Family elders, and together with Gao Zhan, they swiftly headed towards the encampment of the Flame Adventure Team.

A total of four Song Family elders mobilized, two at the Peak of Innate and two in the Late Innate stage.

With such a force, not to speak of wiping out the mere Flame Adventure Team, even confronting a family like the Zhangs, they could inflict substantial losses on them.
