769 Panic (2/2)
The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was also in a state of panic. They had already sworn allegiance to the Dafang Sect. If the Dafang Sect was eradicated, it would not bode well for them.
\”The Crimson Star Sect has sent out an eradication announcement. It has spread to the entire martial art circle. How did this happen?\”
\”What exactly did the Dafang Sect do? Why does the Crimson Star Sect threaten to eradicate the entire Dafang Sect?\”
\”This matter is most likely related to Sect Leader Mo Wen. The Crimson Star Sect has already requested that he head over and die as an apology. I wonder what the sect leader will do?\”
\”What's all this racket about? A dignified large clan panicking in such a manner! What is this? Is our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan unable to deal with crisis despite its centuries-old heritage?\” A cold voice sounded in the hall. The noisy discussions came to an abrupt end.
\”The Crimson Star Sect has gone too far. It is not the fault of the Dafang Sect and is not the fault of the sect leader. If we cannot stand it, we don't have to. We strive for vindication. If the Crimson Star Sect insults us to such an extent, what's wrong with fighting them to the bloody end?\”
These words were spoken by Hu Tianfeng, who had just returned to the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. After the incident at the hospital, he knew that the matter would not end well. That was why he had immediately returned to the clan.
\”Old ancestor, the Crimson Star Sect is a powerful existence ranked fourth among the Ten Great Sects. Our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan, even with the Dafang Sect, is far from being a match for the Crimson Star Sect. To fight the Crimson Star Sect to the bloody end will see us court defeat by fighting against overwhelming odds. Won't we be seeking our own deaths?\” a steward of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan said, trembling with fear.
Very few people did not know about the prestige of the Crimson Star Sect. They were not only prestigious in the series of three big Mountain Ranges. In the entire martial art circle, their fame was awe-inspiring.
\”What about it? If we are no match for them, are we supposed to let them insult us as they please?\” Hu Tianfeng coldly glanced at the steward.
The steward was so scared that he turned pale. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, \”That is not what I meant. I am worried about the future of our Hu Clan.\”
\”The future is not in our hands, but the hands of the younger generation of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Hu Qiongqi, fall out.\” Hu Tianfeng coldly cast a glance at the crowd in the hall. Finally, his gaze settled on Hu Qiongqi.
\”Grandfather.\” Hu Qiongqi walked out and slightly lowered his head. He did not know what his grandfather wanted him to do.
\”Bring along all the young adults of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and immediately leave with the elderly, women and children. Hide away in the bases deep within the mountains that our Hu Clan has been building these past few years. If the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan is eradicated, the Hu Clan will isolate themselves for fifty years, no longer showing ourselves in the world,\” Hu Tianfeng said coldly. He had already found his determination to fight to the bloody end. Of course, he had to consider the future of the clan. He had to leave behind some successors to one day rise again.
\”Grandfather!\” Hu Qiongqi's eyes were teary and he was choking up. He had not thought that the issue was so severe.
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically. They all suddenly fell silent.
\”Just do what I ask you to do quickly. Stop spouting nonsense here. Within one day, you must evacuate completely from here.\” Hu Tianfeng coldly snorted.
\”Grandfather, it is not in my nature to run away. I want to die alongside the rest of the clan.\” Hu Qiongqi stood motionless on his original spot. He had no intention of moving.
\”Presumptuous!\” Hu Tianfeng sent him flying with a slap, knocking him unconscious there and then. Right now, Hu Tianfeng was in no mood to deal with Hu Qiongqi's nonsense.
\”Hu Guiyuan, step out. You are the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan's clan leader. In the future, the Hu Clan is up to you. Take this b*st*rd away. You will handle the evacuation.\”
Hu Tianfeng waved his hand, and the unconscious Hu Qiongqi flew into Hu Guiyuan's arms.
\”Father, I understand.\” Hu Guiyuan took a deep breath. He then turned and walked out of the hall, arranging the members to evacuate. He clearly understood his father's personality. Right now, he absolutely could not go against his father's decision.
\”All of you do not need to feel too pressured. I am just preparing for the worst-case scenario. The Dafang Sect is no pushover. The sect leader has already broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm. With the sect leader's talents, he won't necessarily be afraid of the Crimson Star Sect,\” Hu Tianfeng said as he swept a glance at the hall which was in low spirits. His tone became slightly more relaxed.
\”What? The sect leader has already broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm?\”
\”Good heavens, the Golden Elixir Realm. What sort of cultivation is it? I never even imagined it in my dreams.\”
\”That's wonderful! Wasn't the Crimson Star Sect relying on that Golden Elixir Realm old thing? Right now, our Dafang Sect also has such a strong practitioner.\”
