Chapter 791: Chapter 616: All for the Elder Council_2

"Brother Zhao is right."

Elder Yan echoed, "These two people currently lack strength, so they only dare to target small families. I believe if they had enough strength, their targets wouldn’t be the Liu Family or the Song Family, but rather us, the Five Great Families."

The nearby Xu Hu and Elder Qin fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, they shared the same thought.

After all, any sensible person who hears these two names would know they are troublemakers. This time, they have acted openly with such audacity.

If no action is taken against them, if they are left unchecked, they will only become more brazen. It is best to eliminate such threats promptly.

For instance, if they were to engage in a battle with Chen Fan and kill him afterwards, the elders could intervene and kill those two right then and there.

Doing so would be beneficial for their families, as the balance among the Five Great Families would be maintained.

"Gentlemen, isn’t this just your speculation?"

Su Ming said leisurely, "Though those two have notorious reputations, under my Su Family’s tutelage, they have long turned over a new leaf. On the other hand, you might have heard that Chen Fan practices that evil Star Absorption Technique, right? Therefore, it’s not difficult for him to master another technique that drains a person’s inner energy and blood, isn’t it?"

The four exchanged glances.

It was clear that Su Ming intended to defend those two.

After all, his reasoning was sound and couldn’t be faulted.

Seizing the moment, Su Ming added, "Rest assured, gentlemen, no matter how skilled those two are, before my Su Family, they must kneel obediently. Otherwise, a mere thought from our family’s ancestor can annihilate them in both form and spirit. Even if they are dissatisfied inwardly, they can’t stir up much trouble."

"That’s true, Brother Su, but there’s always a risk."

Zhao Chunyuan sighed, "If it really is their doing, it’s terrible. They are emboldened by our reliance on them and think we won’t dare touch them. They might do even worse next."

In fact, he harbored deeper concerns he didn’t dare to voice.

That being, as their power grew, could the Su Family’s ancestor still easily kill them?

Given that reaching the level of a Quasi-S-Class Awakened requires exceptional intelligence and strength, such individuals are surely not to be controlled easily. They would find ways to break free, and once found, their first target would be the Su Family.

The Su Family would inevitably face destruction, and their families would likely also be affected.

Indeed, if it came to a direct confrontation, those two wouldn’t be a match for the Five Great Families. But they aren’t foolish; why would they opt for direct confrontation? Today a sneak attack, tomorrow another; no matter how mighty the Five Great Families, they’d still be toyed with, perhaps to the point where they’d fear to go out in public for fear of assassination.

But he dared not say this, knowing it would displease Su Ming.

"Younger Brother Zhao, do you not trust me?"

Su Ming, somewhat unhappy, remarked, "I already said the killings in those families can’t possibly be their doing. It’s definitely that Chen kid, venting his wrath after stealing their cultivation techniques. Enough, don’t discuss this any further.

As for those people outside, go out and reassure them. Tell them that by tomorrow at the latest, our Elder Council will capture that kid and give everyone a satisfactory explanation. As for those two, I’ll urge them to act quickly."

"Understood."

The others nodded upon hearing this.

Even if anyone had more to say, seeing Su Ming’s expression, they wisely chose to keep silent.

Communication cut off, and the meeting room fell silent.

"Alright, everyone, let’s not dwell on this." Xu Hu chimed in with a smile, "Since Brother Su said it’s not their doing, then it’s not their doing."

"Actually, we’re not worried about that," Zhao Chunyuan shook his head, "We’re worried that one day, those two might become the next Chen Fan."

"Indeed," Elder Yan sighed, "If that fear materializes, they would be even harder to deal with than Chen Fan because they are unscrupulous."

Xu Hu’s eyelids twitched at these words, then he laughed, "Relax, relax, Brother Su said everything is under his control. If those two really want to cause trouble, I believe Brother Su can easily deal with them."

"Let’s hope so."
