Chapter 70 Two Main Generals
"Hmph! It's that Ye Ling again!"
"Although it's detestable that the Witch Sect entered Jiangnan on their own, this Ye Ling who dares to kill our Hall members deserves to die a thousand deaths! Rest assured, as one of the Deputy Hall Masters, I will definitely stand up for you!"
"Hall Master, please allow me to confront him and slaughter that arrogant brat Ye Ling. I will bring his head back to the Hall to honor Young Master Lin!"
The Great Grandmaster who had been clamoring to kill Ye Ling earlier now banged the table and left, his eyes dark and sinister as he spoke.
His name was Chen Zhipeng, and alongside another Great Grandmaster named Yao Qian, he was one of the Deputy Hall Masters of the Hall.
Lin Zhantian gave him a glance but did not immediately agree; a hint of cold light flashed across his eyes.
He clearly understood what Chen Zhipeng was thinking: claiming to stand up for the Family Heads was just an excuse to win over people's hearts.
Privately, this fellow had been gathering the Hall's powerhouses, almost forming his own faction.
As the Hall Master, how could Lin Zhantian tolerate such a development?
If it were not for the lack of evidence, Lin Zhantian would have killed Chen Zhipeng long ago.
Instead, Lin Zhantian turned again to the Family Heads and said solemnly, "Rest assured, our Hall has the Divine Medicine Hall, whose medical skills are not weaker than those of the Medicine God Sect. Someone will take you there shortly!"
"Being vassals under our Hall, we will naturally not turn a blind eye!"
Upon hearing this, the Family Heads immediately expressed their utmost gratitude to Lin Zhantian, and eventually, led by that disciple, they left the council hall.
"Hall Master, the poison of the Witch Sect is mysterious and unpredictable. Even though our Divine Medicine Hall's skills are strong, I fear that..."
"Heh, just give them a glimmer of hope. As for their life and death, what does it have to do with us?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhantian chuckled and said.
Stay connected through empire
Then, Lin Zhantian looked at Chen Zhipeng and said indifferently, "This matter of executing Ye Ling will be entrusted to Deputy Hall Master Chen."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Chen Zhipeng nodded, answered, and then strode out of the council hall.
Watching his departing figure, Lin Zhantian's gaze turned bleak once more.
"Dismissed!"
As Lin Zhantian spoke, a crowd of Grandmasters quickly left the council hall!
Only the Great Grandmaster Yao Qian stayed behind.
"Hall Master, Chen Zhipeng is trying to pull in those vassal heirs under our Hall!"
"Though these noble families don't impact the development of the Hall, it will eventually have an influence if this continues..."
Yao Qian said solemnly.
Lin Zhantian sneered coldly, his expression indifferent, "Heh, they're just some mundane families. They won't shake the foundation of our Hall!"
Upon seeing He Feng and Chen Dao, Ye Jiu said excitedly.
The two nodded slightly, both showing a bitter smile.
Seeing them like this, Ye Jiu knew why they were feeling this way and promptly knelt down before Ye Ling.
"Sir, it was I who notified them without your consent and asked them to come!"
"Without the sir's permission, please punish me!"
Ye Jiu said respectfully.
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and said, "Rise, do I not know your little schemes?"
"It's just because I've recently provoked the Hegemony Hall, the Witch Gate, and also that Evil Yin Sect, so you're worried they might come looking for trouble."
"Having them both by my side also makes things a bit easier for me, doesn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu nodded and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you, sir..."
After Ye Jiu stood up, the three of them stood in front of Ye Ling with their heads bowed, like elementary students who had done something wrong.
"You three are famous generals of the Northern Liang, why such expressions?"
Seeing them in this state, Ye Ling said with a smile.
The three remained silent, still bowing their heads, as if admitting their wrongs to Ye Ling!
"Alright, now that you're here, you might as well stay."
"Recently, there have been quite a few people causing trouble; Ye Jiu alone can't handle it.
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and said.
Previously, two half-step Great Grandmasters from the Witch Gate already had Ye Jiu running around, if stronger individuals from the Witch Gate attacked later, Ye Jiu alone might also not be able to cope.
Now that Chen Dao and He Feng were here, their presence would provide mutual support.
The matters in Northern Liang weren't urgent for the moment!
"How's the investigation into the spies going?"
Ye Ling looked at He Feng and asked.
He Feng's second army corps had a department called the Tiansheng Camp, which served as the eyes and ears of the Northern Liang Army, specifically collecting various intelligence and information.
"To sir, since the day you ordered, up to now, we have found fifteen spies. After extracting useful information from them, all have been executed!"
He Feng immediately responded.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Ye Ling's eyes.
"Luo Sha Kingdom's Hidden Dragon... quite strong measures, implanting so many spies within our Dragon Kingdom!"
"And those three War Kings, the ten great families, they are all entangled with them too; once this matter is settled, I shall seek them out to settle the old scores!"
