"Oh? That really is a pretty good idea. If we can actually find something, we might really be able to hurt Yan Hall a bit!"
Chen Feng said, lost in thought.
"Of course it’ll have an impact! We’re not doing this to really weaken Yan Hall or anything grand like that. As long as we can cause them some trouble, or divert their attention a little, that will already be a huge advantage for the Chen Family’s current situation!"
"At the very least, it’ll stop them from throwing the full strength of their entire sect at us, marching a massive army straight to our gates in one wave. If that happens, there’s no way our Chen Family can hold! So before the great war breaks out, we absolutely have to find a way to mess with Yan Hall somewhere else, cause some trouble for them. We don’t ask to hurt them too much—just harass them a bit, scatter their focus a bit, and we’ve already profited!"
Liang Tian said.
"Good idea! I’ll send the intelligence department out right away to investigate, and find Yan Hall’s weak spots in other areas as fast as possible!"
Chen Feng nodded, expressing his approval.
"Great! As long as the Family Head doesn’t think my idea is trash, I’m fine. Anyway, that’s how I see it. Even if Yan Hall is a first-rate force, it’s impossible for them to be flawless in every direction. A huge organization like Yan Hall is bound to have weak points somewhere!"
"When the time comes, we just need to uncover those weak points and launch targeted strikes. We’ll definitely catch Yan Hall off guard. No one would imagine that when facing a behemoth like Yan Hall, we, the weaker side, the Chen Family, would actually dare to take the initiative and go on the offensive!"
"I’m afraid by then, not just Yan Hall, but everyone in the Ancient Martial World won’t see this coming. This is called a risky move in warfare—striking where they least expect it!"
The Tie Sect Great Elder, Liang Tian, said with a smile.
"Brilliant, brilliant!" Chen Feng nodded in appreciation, then looked at the Tie Sect Great Elder and asked, "How about this—after this battle, if our Chen Family wins, then you will become the Great Elder of our Chen Family. The treatment you enjoyed in the Tie Sect will remain exactly the same in the Chen Family. What do you think?"
Hearing this,
The Tie Sect Great Elder was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You want me to be the Chen Family’s Great Elder?"
"That’s right, the Chen Family’s Great Elder! A seasoned powerhouse like you, rich in experience and strength, is a priceless treasure to any sect. So I will treat you with full courtesy. As long as you can sincerely swear loyalty to the Chen Family, I’ll not only remove the True Qi Bomb in your Dantian, I’ll also grant you top-tier待遇—absolutely not inferior to what you have in the Tie Sect!"
Chen Feng nodded, speaking with utter seriousness.
He wasn’t trying to string the Tie Sect Great Elder along with empty promises.
When it came to genuine talent,
Chen Feng truly cherished it, and of course would try everything to keep such people in the Chen Family.
So,
As long as the Tie Sect Great Elder sincerely submitted to the Chen Family,
Chen Feng would absolutely not be stingy.
He would grant him the highest待遇.
Because the Tie Sect Great Elder, Liang Tian, really was worthy of such待遇.
Regarding Chen Feng’s words,
The Tie Sect Great Elder, Liang Tian, was also a bit surprised. Then he nodded solemnly and pledged, "Please rest assured, Family Head. In this battle against Yan Hall, I, Liang Tian, will give my all—offer strategy where strategy is needed, offer plans where plans are needed. Even if I have to personally step onto the battlefield, I, Liang Tian, will have no complaints!"
"Good. With that promise from you, after this battle, I will personally confer upon you the title of Great Elder of the Chen Family!"
Chen Feng said with evident satisfaction.
"Many thanks, Family Head!"
Liang Tian cupped his fists, thanking him gratefully.
Then,
Chen Feng turned the strategy he and Liang Tian had discussed into formal orders and issued them to all departments within the Chen Family.
He demanded that all Earth Rank experts from every branch of the Chen Family be recalled to the Chen Family’s headquarters.
As for those branches that had originally been stationed and guarded, they were all to be abandoned for the time being, left unattended.
After all, the great war was about to begin.
Yan Hall could attack at any moment.
Just like the Tie Sect Great Elder, Liang Tian, had said earlier,
The Chen Family had to concentrate all usable forces and gather them at the Chen Family’s headquarters.
Only in this way, when Yan Hall’s army arrived at their doorstep, could the Chen Family face the enemy in their strongest possible state.
After recalling all the powerhouses,
Chen Feng issued a Level One war-readiness order to the Chen Family.
He required everyone to be ready for combat at any time.
At that moment,
The entire Chen Family was taut as a bowstring.
Everyone knew that war could erupt at any second.
And once Chen Feng had finished arranging matters at the Chen Family headquarters, he dispatched the entire intelligence department, sending them all out to encircle Yan Hall with their investigations, digging up every piece of information and every weakness related to Yan Hall.
Right now, he was desperate to know where Yan Hall’s weak points lay.
Even if they couldn’t find any fatal weakness, as long as they could locate some other vulnerabilities, anything that could cause Yan Hall some impact, that would be enough.
When that time came,
He could send powerhouses over to strike specifically at those weak points.
He didn’t ask to heavily wound Yan Hall—just to cause Yan Hall a certain level of damage.
This would be a tremendous advantage for the decisive battle to come.
You could say it was all benefit and no harm.
Gradually,
Order after order flowed from Chen Feng’s mouth.
At this moment, Chen Feng truly felt what it meant to be the Chen Family Patriarch.
Previously, he’d just been a hands-off boss who never bothered with anything.
But now he had to personally deal with everything; every order had to be issued by him.
Controlling such a large Chen Family,
It was, frankly, quite exhausting.
Chen Feng didn’t particularly enjoy this feeling.
He still preferred being a hands-off boss.
But at such a critical juncture, with Mu Dongcheng absent, he had no choice but to take the field himself.
Fortunately, with an old-school powerhouse like the Tie Sect Great Elder, Liang Tian, assisting at his side,
Chen Feng didn’t end up flustered and disorganized, and managed to arrange the Chen Family’s affairs in an orderly fashion.
After all, Liang Tian’s experience in managing an Ancient Martial force was countless times richer than Chen Feng’s.
With his guidance,
Chen Feng naturally could keep the situation steady and avoid losing his composure.
Once everything was in place,
All that was left was to wait for Yan Hall to come knocking.
The decisive battle could break out at any moment.
During this period, although everything seemed so calm on the surface,
Anyone with a brain knew,
This was the calm before the storm.
Once Yan Hall’s army truly arrived at their gates,
If the Chen Family couldn’t hold, then they would really be wiped from existence.
So,
This battle was of critical importance to the Chen Family.
If they defeated Yan Hall,
Then from that day on, the Chen Family could replace Yan Hall’s position in the Ancient Martial World and truly stand at the very peak of that pyramid.
Of course, if they lost,
Then there would be no second chance.
Given Yan Hall’s temperament, they definitely wouldn’t show mercy and spare the Chen Family.
