184: Chapter 184 Meeting

Inside the main hall.

Ling Feng and Ling Ying drank the spirit tea brought by the Shadow Guards while discussing some internal details of the Shadow Guards.

After a detailed exchange and discussion, Ling Ying had a clearer and more definite goal for the future development of the Shadow Guards.

“Thump, thump, thump... thump, thump...”

Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps outside the main hall directly entered, and then, several figures dressed in identical Shadow Guard uniforms quickly walked in.

The only difference among them was the different colored characters of “Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, Kill, Underworld” embroidered on their chests and on the black cloaks behind them.

“Your subordinate greets the Family Head!”

“Your subordinate greets the Hall Master!”

“The twelve prospective Vice Commanders of the Shadow Guard Six Divisions have been brought.”

The leading Shadow Guard stepped forward first, knelt on one knee, held his saber, cupped his fists, and reported respectfully.

At the same time, the twelve people who came in with him also knelt on one knee, cupped their fists, and saluted respectfully.

“We greet the Family Head!”

“Greetings, Hall Master.”

Ling Ying, who was watching the prospective Vice Commanders he had personally selected after numerous rigorous screenings, exhibit such a spirited demeanor, couldn't help but nod secretly, feeling extremely satisfied.

Seeing this, Ling Feng, who was seated at the head of the main hall, couldn't help but look up and scan the crowd with a hint of appreciation, then spoke faintly, giving an order.

“You may rise.”

“Thank you, Family Head!”

Upon receiving Ling Feng's command, everyone loudly thanked him, then rose cleanly and waited quietly for Ling Feng's next instruction, demonstrating strict discipline.

The scene before his eyes made Ling Feng nod repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ling Feng pointed to the leading Shadow Guard and gave another order.

“You may leave first; I have important matters to discuss with these twelve people.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

Upon receiving Ling Feng's order, the leading Shadow Guard, not at all concerned about what Ling Feng was about to say, immediately agreed, then turned and quickly walked out of the main hall.

Suddenly, Ling Feng, as if remembering something, quickly called out to the Shadow Guard who had already walked several steps away.

“Wait...”

As Ling Feng's voice spread, the Shadow Guard, who was striding out of the main hall, paused his steps, quickly stopped, and turned back to Ling Feng, who was seated at the head of the hall not far away, and asked.

“Does the Family Head have any other instructions?”

Hearing the Shadow Guard's respectful question as he stopped and turned around, Ling Feng, who was seated at the head of the hall, immediately gave an order.

“After you go out, inform all the guards outside the hall to stand diligent watch.

No matter what happens inside the main hall later, none of you are allowed to enter without permission.

Of course, outsiders are even less permitted to enter.”

“Violators will be killed without mercy!”

“Yes, Family Head.”

Hearing his Family Head's majestic command, the Shadow Guard dared not delay, immediately agreed, and then, seeing that Ling Feng had no other orders, immediately turned and quickly walked out of the hall.

Soon, his figure disappeared from the main hall, and immediately after, the main hall doors slowly closed.

For a moment, only Ling Feng, Ling Ying, and the twelve prospective Vice Commanders of the Shadow Guard remained in the entire main hall.

Seeing this, although the twelve Shadow Guards in the main hall could not quite understand it, none of them spoke to ask, due to the Shadow Guard's code of conduct; they merely showed a slight look of confusion on their faces.

“I imagine you must be very curious now: what is the purpose of gathering you twelve Shadow Guards here, after you were selected through various rigorous screenings under the pretext of choosing Vice Commanders for the Shadow Guard Six Divisions?”

“Was the selection of the Shadow Guard Six Divisions' Vice Commanders a sham?”

Hearing Ling Feng's words, one of the more impetuous young Shadow Guards in the main hall immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Ling Feng, and then asked with a hint of doubt.

As the young Shadow Guard finished speaking, the eyes of the remaining eleven young Shadow Guards in the main hall narrowed, and they all focused their gaze on Ye Yun, who was seated at the head of the hall.

“No, no, no, what I just said didn't mean that.”

“Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore.

It is a fact that there are vacancies for the Vice Commanders of the Family's Shadow Guard Six Divisions.

And it was my order for Ling Ying to select the twelve most promising individuals from the existing Shadow Guards.”

“My first purpose in coming here this time was to personally see what kind of young talents would be the future Vice Commanders of my Family's Shadow Guards.

Now, I have seen them.

As for the second purpose, that is closely related to all twelve of you.”

“You must know, the Family's Shadow Guards are a hidden sharp blade of the Family, a bloodthirsty sharp blade that is always ready to sacrifice for the Family and escort its safety.

With your current talent and strength, there is still too much of a gap to lead the Shadow Guard Six Divisions to achieve this.”

“Reporting to the Family Head, our current talent and strength may not be sufficient to reach the level you mentioned, but we are still young, we have absolute loyalty to the Family, and we have unlimited potential for growth.

One day, we will be able to grow into powerful existences that can secretly escort the Family's development.”

Just as Ling Feng had not yet finished explaining his second purpose, the only female Shadow Guard in the main hall immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and declared her resolve in a clear voice.

As the female Shadow Guard's words fell, the other eleven also echoed her sentiments.

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately smiled, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

“Hahahaha, it is precisely because you have absolute loyalty to the Family, and your growth has unlimited possibilities, that you are all standing here today.”

After speaking, Ling Feng immediately secretly instructed the System in his mind.

“System, fuse the twelve Saint Body templates in the System backpack into Medicinal Pills.”

“Okay, Host.”

“Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…”

“Whoosh… whoosh…”

Then, Ling Feng waved his large hand, and several white porcelain bottles flew out, suspending themselves in front of the twelve people in the main hall.

Looking at the white porcelain bottles that suddenly appeared in front of them, the twelve couldn't help but exchange glances, their faces full of confusion, unsure of their Family Head's intention behind this action...
