Seeing that the Wang family had also stepped in, although they seemed unwilling to get too deeply involved, at least the current situation was under control.
The Zhou family patriarch smiled slightly and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then you should go to the Elder Council and request a meeting with the ten elders. We can start the review process when the Elder Council issues the order!"
Han Mingye's face darkened, realizing that things were unlikely to go as planned, and he was about to say something when...
A voice quietly rang out.
"Since when did the Enforcement Hall have to go through the council of elders to even conduct investigations? Does this mean that the council of elders is just bored or has nothing better to do?"
"Does such a trivial matter really require a meeting of all the elders?"
"If everything is like this, how can the sect function? How foolish!"
As the voice rang out, an old figure appeared before everyone.
He was tall, but his face was extremely old, like the Zhou family patriarch, as if he had reached the end of his life.
However, he did not have the same decrepit appearance as the Zhou family patriarch, who looked like an oil lamp that had burned out.
On the contrary, they are energetic and full of vitality.
"Elder... Ninth Elder!"
Han Mingye and Han Hai were delighted to see the newcomers and quickly bowed in greeting.
He almost blurted out "Grand Elder," but then realized that this was a sect and quickly changed his address.
The newcomer was none other than Han Yingwei, the current patriarch of the Han family and the current Grand Elder.
He now holds a position among the top ten elders of the Yunxiao Sect's Elder Council!
The decision-making power of the Elder Council rests with the ten elders, who essentially represent the ten strongest members of the Cloud Soaring Sect!
The reason it is called "basic" is because there are exceptions.
Originally, Han Yingwei was not qualified to be among the ten elders of the Elder Council.
However, because the Han family has recently had two new Golden Core cultivators, plus one from two hundred years ago, the Han family now has a total of five Golden Core cultivators!
Such a sight suggests that they are poised to become one of the few large-scale cultivation families under the patronage of the Cloud Soaring Sect.
With such background, Han Yingwei directly ascended to the ranks of the Ten Elders. In addition to being representatives of combat strength, the Ten Elders also possessed immense power.
After all, they were the ten strongest people below the Nascent Soul stage in the entire sect.
In terms of resources, they are absolutely in the top tier, second only to the Supreme Elder, and the same goes for power.
As the highest authority of the Cloud Soaring Sect, the Elder Council has ten elders who each have decision-making power and are in charge of one aspect of the sect's affairs.
For example, Han Yingwei, in addition to being one of the ten elders and participating in the sect's highest decision-making, also controls nearly half of the Enforcement Hall.
His appearance at this moment was not merely as the Ninth Elder, but also on behalf of the Enforcement Hall!
Upon seeing this, the Zhou family patriarch's expression turned quite unpleasant.
Wang Xinglang took a step back and remained silent.
This scene made me feel a little scared.
It's one thing for Han Mingye and Han Hai to come out, but this matter has already gone a bit too far!
After all, they are two Golden Core cultivators! It's rather unreasonable for them to directly target a junior disciple...
But now, even the Grand Elder Han Yingwei has come out?
This clearly demonstrates the Han family's attitude: to go all out and not give up until they achieve their goal.
"What exactly did Yang Shantang's disciple do? The Han family is acting like this. Even killing Han Chenhua wouldn't be enough, would it?"
Wang Xinglang was a little confused about the situation.
He had no idea what had happened.
He only received a message from Wang Yangshan, which briefly explained the situation, mentioning only that Han Chenhua had disappeared without a trace, and emphasizing that a Golden Core cultivator from the Han family had come to his door.
So he rushed over.
Originally, they thought that with two Golden Core cultivators coming to their door, Han Chenhua would at most die in the secret realm.
But now, it's not that simple, is it?
What's going on here?
"Please, gentlemen, do not obstruct the Enforcement Hall's operations. We are simply taking people back for an investigation. If you continue to obstruct us, do not blame the Enforcement Hall for forcibly taking them away."
Han Yingwei said calmly, a cold glint in her eyes.
At this moment, he did not exude any terrifying aura.
But for someone else in the same place, these words carried an air of undeniable authority.
Indeed, with Han Chenhua dead, the two Golden Core cultivators will emerge and seize the opportunity to kill Lin Xiuyuan.
But Lin Xiuyuan at this time was different; he was no longer just an ordinary talisman-wielding prodigy.
Rather, he is a prodigy who has reached the level of invincible combat power, and a monster who has reached this level all by himself!
If one breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage, then it is very likely that, with their talent, they will once again master invincible combat power.
What if one reaches the Golden Core stage?
At that point, the entire Han family would probably be nothing compared to him!
Once such a monster grows up, the consequences are quite terrifying.
Now that things are out in the open, it's time to adhere to the rules of the sect.
It's difficult to do it secretly.
Now that two Golden Core cultivators have stepped in to stop it, they probably won't even be able to take him back to the Enforcement Hall.
He couldn't sit still any longer.
They were determined to bring Lin Xiuyuan back to the Enforcement Hall.
Such a threat must be nipped in the bud!
Although it was out in the open, they couldn't directly kill Lin Xiuyuan, as that would be a challenge to the sect's rules.
The consequences are dire. Even if the Han family weren't a large clan, as long as they didn't produce a Nascent Soul cultivator, they still couldn't disregard the sect rules!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Golden Core cultivators can represent the sect in its actions; as the highest combat power during ordinary times, they make the sect's top decisions.
However, Nascent Soul cultivators are the pillars of a sect, representing supreme authority that cannot be challenged!
