116: Chapter 116: The Secret Guard Appears for the First Time

Looking at Wang Hao's departing back, Ling Feng immediately instructed Ling Di, who was standing by.

"Ling Di."

"Clan Chief!"

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, Guardian Ling Di quickly stepped forward, respectfully responding.

"Go and notify Grand Elder, Grand Elder, and Second Elder. Tell them to drop whatever they are doing and come to the Family Council Great Hall immediately. I have important matters to discuss with them."

Ling Feng then ordered.

"Yes, Clan Chief."

Hearing Ling Feng's command, Guardian Ling Di immediately assented, then his figure flickered and he disappeared directly in front of Ling Feng.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but shake his head, then prepared to slowly walk towards the Family Council Great Hall on the Main Peak.

"Ding..."

Just then, the System's notification sound, which had been silent for a long time, rang out in Ling Feng's mind.

"Congratulations, Host! Family Disciple Wang Hao has successfully awakened the Supreme Divine Body. Family Luck Value has increased by fifty million."

"What? Fifty million Family Luck Value!"

Hearing the System's notification, Ling Feng's eyes instantly widened, his face filled with surprise.

A moment later, Ling Feng, still in shock, reacted, his face then filled with wild joy.

"This really is an unexpected pleasant surprise."

After calming down, Ling Feng couldn't help but curve his lips, muttering in a low voice.

He then wasted no time, his figure flashing as he sped towards the Family Council Great Hall... At the same time.

Inside the Family Council Great Hall.

Ling Wuji sat at the head seat below the main seat of the Great Hall, while Ling Buyi and Ling Zhan sat in turn, quietly waiting for Ling Feng's arrival in the Great Hall.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, do you know what important matter the Clan Chief is so urgently asking us to drop everything and come discuss?"

Ling Zhan, who had always had a fiery temper, couldn't help but ask Ling Wuji and Ling Buyi.

"I also rushed over after receiving Guardian Ling Di's notification. I know nothing."

Hearing Ling Zhan's question, Ling Wuji slowly replied.

Hearing Ling Wuji's response, Ling Zhan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ling Buyi.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Upon hearing this, Ling Buyi immediately spread his hands, shook his head, and quickly said.

After receiving responses from both Ling Wuji and Ling Buyi, Ling Zhan drooped like a frost-bitten eggplant, instantly deflating and waiting boredly in his chair.

Seeing this, Ling Wuji and Ling Buyi couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Third Brother, it's about time you changed your impulsive temper. You're an Elder now."

"Yes, yes, Big Brother is right. Third Brother, you really should change."

Hearing this, Ling Zhan couldn't help but complain helplessly.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you talk as if I wasn't a Family Elder before."

"Is it the same now as it was before? In the past, the Family was just a small-time affair. Now, under Fenger's leadership, the Family is continuously developing and growing stronger. As a principal figure among the Clan Chief's subordinates, you really do need to change your impulsive temper."

Hearing Ling Zhan's complaint, Ling Wuji said solemnly.

Hearing Ling Wuji's explanation, Ling Zhan was silent for a moment, then promised Ling Wuji and Ling Buyi.

"Mm-hmm, I understand, Big Brother, Second Brother!"

Then the few of them changed the topic, discussing the recent development of the Family... A stick of incense later.

"Clan Chief arrives!"

The loud announcement of a guard came from the entrance of the Family Council Great Hall.

Hearing this, Ling Wuji and the other two immediately stopped their conversation and all looked towards the entrance of the Family Council Great Hall.

Ling Feng's figure, dressed in a black brocade robe, soon appeared in their line of sight.

Ling Feng quickly walked up to everyone. Before Ling Feng could speak, Ling Buyi and Ling Zhan spoke first, saluting in unison.

"We respectfully greet the Clan Chief!"

"Alright, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need for these formalities."

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile helplessly, then slowly said.

Then, before Ling Buyi and Ling Zhan could react, Ling Feng took a few steps forward and respectfully cupped his fists towards Ling Wuji.

"Son, greets Father!"

Hearing this, Ling Wuji nodded, smiling as he said.

"Fenger, quickly take a seat. We heard you had important matters to discuss with us, so we rushed over without delay."

"Mm."

Hearing Ling Wuji's words, Ling Feng smiled and nodded, then quickly walked to the main seat of the Great Hall and sat down directly.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you all take a seat too. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"Thank you, Clan Chief."

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but wave his hand helplessly.

After everyone had taken their seats, Ling Feng couldn't help but look around, then called out into the Void Realm.

"Uncle Ying."

"This subordinate is here!"

As Ling Feng's voice fell, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe appeared directly in the Great Hall, kneeling on one knee respectfully and responding to Ling Feng.

"Lead the Dark Guards to strictly guard the Main Peak's Great Hall. No one is allowed to approach."

"Anyone who approaches without permission and ignores warnings shall be killed!"

Looking at Ling Ying in front of him, Ling Feng's voice was extremely sharp as he directly ordered.

"Yes, Clan Chief."

Hearing Ling Feng's command, Ling Ying immediately responded loudly, then his figure flickered and he disappeared directly into the Great Hall.

Seeing this, Ling Feng was extremely satisfied. The current Dark Guards were no longer the Dark Guards of the past; they had undergone a complete transformation.

Under Ling Feng's continuous supply of various resources, the strength of the current Dark Guards was already incomparable to what it once was. Moreover, to become a member of the Family's Dark Guards, in addition to having sufficient loyalty to the Family, talent was also one of the selection criteria.

Among the current Dark Guards, besides Ling Ying, who was originally in the Yellow Martial Realm and successfully became a Late Stage King Warrior Realm expert with Ling Feng's help, most of the other Dark Guard members were still mainly in the Heaven Martial Realm to Profound Martial Realm.

However, in addition to Cultivating the Family's Legacy Cultivation Technique, the Dark Guard members also Cultivated a sect-level stealth Cultivation Technique. Unless one's Realm was two major Realms higher than the Cultivator, once the Dark Guards concealed themselves, their traces would absolutely not be discovered.

Seeing Ling Ying, who suddenly appeared and then disappeared, Ling Wuji, Ling Buyi, and the others were all greatly shocked.

Ling Buyi and Ling Zhan were shocked that they had no idea there was such a powerful hidden force secretly within the Family.

Ling Wuji, on the other hand, was very clear about the situation of the Dark Guards, but he hadn't expected them to have transformed to such an extent in such a short time.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Fenger, this..."

"Clan Chief, this is..."
