High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery Chapter 763 - 602 Early Stage of Celestial Realm_2

Elder Wang regretted asking this question as soon as he said it.

Because wasn’t it nonsense?

The celestial phenomenon just now was not an illusion.

Moreover, the phenomenon was slowly dissipating now.

The question he should ask was, what grade of Martial Arts True Pill did you condense?

Chen Fan naturally understood his doubts, and said with a smile, "Yes, and the grade I condensed is a Heaven-grade Martial Arts True Pill."

"He-Heaven-grade..."

Taking a deep breath, Elder Wang wasn’t too surprised.

After all, back then, when Shi Tao broke through to the Celestial Human Realm and condensed a First-grade Martial Arts True Pill, the celestial phenomenon it caused was just a dozen miles.

But Chen Fan’s spanned directly over a hundred miles.

To say it wasn’t a Heaven-grade Martial Arts True Pill, he wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death.

The next moment, Elder Wang’s eyes were full of relief,

"It’s good that it’s a Heaven-grade Martial Arts True Pill. Actually, I received some news yesterday. I was planning to tell you only if you didn’t break through. Now it seems everything is destined."

"Elder Wang, what news is it?"

Chen Fan asked with a smile.

In his heart, he already had an inkling.

"Your killing of Carl angered the Revival Association, and they sought help from the Elder Council. Just yesterday, the Elder Council’s high-level decision was for everyone involved with the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association to be in Baijiang City within half a day and threatened that any delay would be at their own risk."

Elder Wang sighed.

"The Elder Council wants to intervene in this matter too?"

Chen Fan squinted his eyes.

It wasn’t much of a surprise.

"Yes, I guess there are people from the Elder Council among those coming here today."

Looking at Chen Fan, Elder Wang didn’t know what to say.

The Elder Council’s apparent strength seemed not to match the Awakened Association’s.

But in reality, their strength was significantly stronger than the Awakened Association.

Even if Chen Fan dodged a bullet this time, opposing the Elder Council was equivalent to offending the entire noble family cluster.

In his era, those who opposed the noble families had never ended well.

"So be it."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"I don’t seek conflict, but if they insist, I won’t show mercy."

"..."

Elder Wang hesitated and then grasped Chen Fan’s arm, advising, "Though you’ve broken through to the Celestial Human Realm, you must remain cautious. First, they are numerous, and second, those from noble families are not simple and may have powerful artifacts."

"Don’t worry, Elder Wang, I’ll be careful."

Chen Fan nodded.

It was natural for noble families to have trump cards.

But he had cultivated the Qiankun Infinite Body and wasn’t to be underestimated either.

...

Baijiang City.

Song Family.

By dawn, there was no word from their underlings.

Nor any news from the Elder Council.

"It seems the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association has resolved to fight us to the death,"

said Song Yuan Platform, sitting in the hall, coldly.

Though he considered that the opposition wouldn’t so easily forsake such an endeavor.

That they dismissed even the Elder Council was unforeseen.

"Second Grand Uncle, what now?"

Song Lianfeng asked worriedly.

"What now?"

Song Bingzhong snorted, "With just those Martial Arts Association misfits, how can they deal with our Song Family? If they insist on us going to Jiangnan City, we shall see what bold characters dare to challenge our Song Family!"

"Alright, then I’ll go to the Revival Association and bring them along." Song Lianfeng eagerly responded.

"No rush."

Song Yuan Platform quickly stopped him, "They will contact you."

Frankly, if there were only the two of them, they wouldn’t dare to go.

But with the Revival Association and Elder Council together, there was nothing to fear.

Still, they couldn’t act too eager, or it would be embarrassing.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Song Lianfeng received a call from Director Xu of the Elder Council, whose tone sounded quite displeased.

"Patriarch Song, your clan members are being held at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, aren’t you at all anxious?"

Song Lianfeng glanced at his two granduncles and replied sternly, "Director Xu, what are you implying? It’s not just my nephews being detained but also my own sons. How could I not be anxious? It’s just that the more one rushes such matters, the more prone they are to mishaps. I—"

"Enough, Patriarch Song,"

Director Xu impatiently interrupted, "Let’s be frank. Regardless of whether someone is targeting your Song Family, the Elder Council is involved this time. Your family must show some gratitude."

"Director Xu, I don’t quite understand what you mean."

Song Lianfeng feigned ignorance.

"You think we don’t know you’re trying to manipulate others to do your dirty work?"

Director Xu’s voice turned cold, "The Song Family’s incompetence in dealing with this has not only dragged the Revival Association into it but has worsened things. If your family is truly as powerful as you say, you would have gone to Jiangnan City and dealt with Chen Fan already. The delay just shows your fear. Creating conspiracy theories, binding the Revival Association and your family together, and now trying to involve the Elder Council. Don’t think we are fools."

Song Lianfeng fell silent for a moment, realizing there was little point in pretending further. "Director Xu, it is somewhat true. However, all signs indicate that this matter is much more complicated than it appears."

Director Xu, yesterday at noon, you issued an ultimatum to the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association. If they were smart, they would know what to do. But have they responded yet?"

"Such matters don’t need your reminder,"

Director Xu coldly retorted.

Indeed, their ignoring the Elder Council angered him greatly.

Baijiang City is not vast, and any major event is known within an hour.

Besides the five families of the Elder Council, all others were secretly watching.

If the Elder Council did nothing, it would be over.

Thus, they must act decisively, striking those who challenge their authority with thunderous force!

But being used by the Song Family naturally upset him.

"Patriarch Song, I’m calling to ask you to notify your family’s two elders to come to the Revival Association. We will then head to Jiangnan City together."

Song Lianfeng’s face lit up with excitement upon hearing this.

The conversation wasn’t lost on the two elders of the Song Family.

They glanced at each other and nodded.

With the Revival Association and Elder Council, their safety was greatly enhanced.

"Furthermore, upon returning from Jiangnan City, your family must give a satisfactory explanation to the Elder Council. Keeping Revival Association satisfied is your problem."

Song Lianfeng clenched his teeth at these words.

Appeasing either of them would cost the Song Family dearly.

Appeasing both would almost ruin them.

He was reluctant, but with the Elder Council making demands, refusal would be disastrous.

"Alright, Director Xu, rest assured. After this is over, my Song Family will give the Elder Council a satisfactory explanation."

The two Song Family elders didn’t object to this.

After all, the Song Family was insignificant before the mighty Elder Council.

If the family could survive, temporary weakness was nothing. They could rise again.

"Good."

Director Xu’s tone softened significantly, "Now inform your family elders to come. Whoever dares to disdain the Elder Council will pay dearly."
