Chapter 422: Four Great Elders Take Action【Seven Updates】 The incident at the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment spread quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son of the Song Family Patriarch, Song Ming, had been captured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captured by people from the Flame Adventure Team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone first heard the news, they found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after multiple confirmations, they knew it was a fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed hard to imagine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Haofeng City, there was someone or some force bold enough to kidnap Song Ming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of the Flame Adventure Team reverberated fiercely throughout Haofeng City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Zhang Family Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yibing slowly paced within the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had received the news when Song Ming and Elder Song Lu of the Song Family were heading to the Flame Adventure Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also paying attention to how the conflict between the Flame and the Song Family would develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he had long since sent several people to the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment to gather information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside this Clan Chief’s Courtyard, several Zhang Family elders were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the Flame Adventure Team, only the Team Leader Li Yong is a Martial Artist of the Early Innate Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan’s cultivation is hard to gauge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Song Lu and the people of Flame fight, who knows what will happen,” an elder casually analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Yong’s temperament is quite steady, and he knows what consequences would follow from a complete fallout with the Song Family!” another Zhang Family elder shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a Zhang Family guard entered the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guard was one of those Zhang Yibing sent to gather news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the situation?” Zhang Yibing asked, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Song Ming has been captured, Elder Song Lu returned alone to the family,” the guard quickly announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The son of the Song Family Patriarch, Song Ming, has been kidnapped?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders, who were sitting in the courtyard, suddenly stood up, staring at the guard in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard’s words made it clear that the Flame Adventure Team had completely fallen out with the Song Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capturing Song Ming was something the Song Family would never tolerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s said that Elder Song Lu was also injured,” the guard continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of Song Yibing and others slightly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song Lu was injured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likely only one person, that would be Jing Yan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because within the Flame Adventure Team, the strongest, Li Yong, wouldn’t be a match for Song Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only variable was Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Jing Yan, he’s really too audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared to injure Song Lu and even kidnap Song Ming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really didn’t see it coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jing Yan visited our Zhang Family, he seemed so gentle and elegant, appearing very refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect him to have such audacity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it seems his strength is indeed strong enough to injure Song Lu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What foolish audacity, he’s just courting death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he think he can contend with the Song Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fear this Jing Yan will bring disaster upon our Zhang Family!” a previously skeptical elder coldly snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this elder’s words, everyone else fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Jing Yan did could also bring trouble to the Zhang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Song Family found out that Jing Yan had connections with the Zhang Family, in their fury, would they extend their wrath to the Zhangs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu didn’t follow Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would really be hard to distinguish,” Zhang Yibing said, relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go back and continue to keep an eye on the Song Family members, as they might take action soon!” Zhang Yibing then instructed the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” the guard responded and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song Family Mansion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the family, Song Lu immediately headed straight to the patriarch’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the Song Family disciples who saw Song Ming’s condition were all agape in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Zhongshan, a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse and the Song Family Patriarch, could make the entire city tremble by stomping his feet in Haofeng City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Zhongshan had three sons, with Song Ming being the youngest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of Martial Arts Talent, Song Ming was the least gifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Song Zhongshan was particularly fond of Song Ming, partly because of Song Ming’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Zhongshan heard that Song Ming had been captured at the Flame Adventure Team’s encampment, his expression turned extremely cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chill in his eyes made Song Lu, standing before him, feel cold all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Song Ming was captured, and you have the face to come back?” Song Zhongshan’s uniquely deep voice emitted from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patriarch, it’s not that I didn’t do my best, but the martial artist named Jing Yan is too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, I was also injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, since Young Master Song Ming was captured, I had to be cautious not to hurt him,” Song Lu defended himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Useless!” Song Zhongshan’s presence burst forth violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Lu continuously retreated, bowing his head, not even daring to look up at Patriarch Song Zhongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Song Zhongshan calling him useless, he could only quietly curse a few times in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he himself was useless, then wouldn’t Song Ming be the useless among the useless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just an expendable, despite the massive resources used on Song Ming, there was still a good chance to advance to the Innate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Song Ming had not yet broken through to the Innate stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Call Elder Song Li over!” Song Zhongshan’s suppressed voice commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Song Lu responded immediately, turning swiftly and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Song Zhongshan, the pressure was too great for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he had even worried that Song Zhongshan might strike him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was a Song Family elder, he was only a very ordinary elder, far inferior to elders like Song Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Song Zhongshan killed him personally, it was unlikely to cause any gossip within the family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song Li, the Song Family Great Elder, was a powerhouse at the Innate Peak Realm, close to the Dao Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patriarch, you were looking for me?” Elder Song Li came and greeted Song Zhongshan with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Lu had only told him that the patriarch wanted him, without specifying the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was still unaware of Song Ming being detained by the Flame Adventure Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Song Li, I need you to make a trip!” Song Zhongshan had regained his composure, speaking in a calm and even voice, his attitude toward Song Li completely different from that toward Song Lu, “This boy Song Ming has been held by the Flame Adventure Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like you to bring him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and bring Gao Zhan with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Zhongshan’s tone was very casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song Li’s eyes flashed, quickly understanding the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard about Song Ming and the Flame issue but hadn’t paid much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After ensuring Song Ming’s safety, just exterminate the Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, I don’t want to see anyone from Flame ever again,” Song Zhongshan said indifferently, but his words carried a chilling murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to see anyone from Flame ever again meant he intended to eradicate the Flame completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!” Elder Song Li responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the patriarch’s courtyard, Elder Song Li found three other Song Family elders, and together with Gao Zhan, they swiftly headed towards the encampment of the Flame Adventure Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of four Song Family elders mobilized, two at the Peak of Innate and two in the Late Innate stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a force, not to speak of wiping out the mere Flame Adventure Team, even confronting a family like the Zhangs, they could inflict substantial losses on them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.818Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b4a7ad60bd81d9b552d179d200fad59659cda02598d92ca77bb3f0748fa6832","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-420","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-418",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
