Xiao Hanfeng, one of the Seventy-two Elders.
He held a position of immense authority and was shrouded in mystery.
He calmly looked down at the group below.
Mo Haiping coughed. "The Mo Family is already hunting Lu Chengwen. Why trouble an Elder to come in person?"
Xiao Hanfeng smiled faintly and walked down. With every step, a lotus of true energy formed beneath his feet, slowly rippling outward after he passed.
"What is that...?"
Xia Ying watched Xiao Hanfeng. "One of Xiao Hanfeng's ultimate techniques—Lotus Pedestal Beneath the Feet."
"That looks so damn cool!"
Xia Ying said, "Is the Elder personally going to kill Lu Chengwen?"
Xiao Hanfeng smiled faintly. "Leader Xia disagrees?"
Xia Ying frowned. "Not at all. It's just... he possesses the aura of the Archaic Ape God, as well as an emperor-grade fire seed like the Yellow Emperor Scarring Fire. Killing him would be a waste."
Xiao Hanfeng said with a smile, "Over the countless years of martial arts, have there been few people and things worth regretting? Nothing is more important than justice and fairness in this world."
Jiang Yuanzheng stepped forward.
"Elder, hahaha, your methods truly are extraordinary. Could we speak privately?"
"Fourth Master, forget it. I know you have business with Cheng Wen, but some matters cannot be negotiated with money."
"No, it's... a huge business. His younger brother is over in Tianzhu, printing banknotes, printing them like crazy! If we could—"
"Fourth Master, just watch obediently. Unless... you intend to make a move against the Elder Council."
Jiang the Fourth's mouth twitched. He really fucking wanted to make a move.
But his subordinate hurriedly shook his head at him. Trading insults with the Elder Council was one thing; actually fighting them would change the nature of things entirely. That would bring disaster upon
