The battle with the Chen Family.

The Tie Sect not only lost over a hundred Earth Rank experts.

Even Heavenly Rank experts continuously fell, with four of them dying.

The Second Elder and Third Elder suffered significant Primordial Energy injuries and were unable to recover in a short time.

The only one who retreated unscathed was the Great Elder.

Of course, this isn’t the most crucial part.

The most crucial part is.

The Sect Leader of the Tie Sect, Han Tieshan, was killed by Chen Feng!

This was an enormous blow to the Tie Sect.

It must be understood.

A leader of a sect is extremely important to the Tie Sect.

It’s akin to ancient times when two countries went to war.

In the end, the king of this country was killed by the enemy.

A country without a king, then, is no longer a country!

The same principle applies to a sect.

If the injuries to the Second Elder and Third Elder, the deaths of four, five, six, and seven elders, and the loss of over a hundred Earth Rank experts were physical and fundamental blows to the Tie Sect.

Then.

Han Tieshan’s death.

Was a psychological blow to the Tie Sect.

And a fatal one!

At this point.

The Tie Sect will be in decline for quite some time, and it’s uncertain whether they can recover later.

After all, even the Sect Leader was killed.

What difference does this make from exterminating an entire sect?

Moreover, from this day forward, in terms of strength and reputation.

The Tie Sect will fall to rock bottom.

They may even become a laughing stock in the Ancient Martial World from now on.

The once top-tier second-rate sect, the Tie Sect, no longer exists.

At the Tie Sect headquarters, on the ruins of the villa area.

At this moment.

The Great Elder gathered all the survivors of the Tie Sect, including the remaining members, here.

Looking at the once majestic but now mostly destroyed villa area.

The faces of the Tie Sect members are downcast, some are red-eyed with deep affection for the sect, and some are even crying.

Humiliation.

A disgrace.

This is a disgrace!

The once strong sect at the top of the second-tier forces, the Tie Sect.

Were defeated by a newly established force like the Chen Family, which hadn’t even existed for a year and was scarcely known in the Ancient Martial World.

This was unbearable humiliation.

It’s not just the Tie Sect’s shame.

It’s the shame of all of them.

At this moment.

Anyone who had even a slight emotional attachment to the Tie Sect felt deeply hurt.

The Great Elder stood in front of everyone, looked at their downcast faces, took a deep breath, and asked in a solemn voice, "Are all of you very upset?"

Upon hearing this.

The Tie Sect members were stunned.

"Speak up, I’m asking if you’re upset?"

The Great Elder glared at the crowd, asking coldly.

"Ups... Upset."

The crowd whispered.

"And do you feel humiliated?"

The Great Elder continued to ask.

"Humiliated!"

This time, the crowd did not hesitate and responded in unison.

"Do you want revenge?"

The Great Elder scanned the crowd, asking coldly.

Upon these words.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.

Revenge?

How can it be easy?

During the fight with the Chen Family.

It was the Tie Sect’s strongest peak lineup that went out.

But what was the result?

Some died, some were severely injured.

Even the Sect Leader was lost.

How can they seek revenge against the Chen Family?

To go after them again would be suicide, wouldn’t it?

So at this moment.

Everyone in the Tie Sect hesitated.

"Hehe!"

The Great Elder sneered coldly, full of contempt as he said, "A bunch of useless cowards! Are you upset? Do you feel humiliated? In my eyes, it’s all nonsense. If you really felt humiliated, really felt upset about the current state of the Tie Sect, you would be desperate for revenge. But what about now? When I ask if you want revenge, you all hesitate. You really are a bunch of wimps!"

"Great... Great Elder, please don’t say that. We are not wimps. If risking our lives could get revenge, I would definitely be the first to go for it. But the strength of the Chen Family is obviously above ours now. If we seek revenge, wouldn’t we just be sending people to their deaths?"

A Xuan Rank expert from the Tie Sect trembled as he spoke. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Yes, Great Elder, didn’t we fight before? Even when our Heavenly Rank experts and Earth Rank experts were dispatched, they were no match for the Chen Family. If we go, we’d merely be cannon fodder!"

Another Yellow Rank expert from the Tie Sect said.

"We’re all members of the Tie Sect; born as members, and die as spirits for the Tie Sect. We can risk our lives for the Tie Sect, but the Chen Family is so strong. Would risking our lives really be effective?"

A senior member of the Tie Sect asked.

And as the three began to speak.

The other members followed suit and started speaking as well.

The general idea was that they felt the Tie Sect was simply not a match for the Chen Family now.

If they stubbornly sought revenge, it would just be sending people to their deaths.

"Hehe!"

The Great Elder sneered coldly, interrupting their words, and said with a cold smile:

"It seems that you really got scared by the Chen Family. Look at your cowardly demeanor, it really embarrasses the Tie Sect. Stop making excuses for your cowardice, please? You really are disgraceful!"

"Moreover, did I say that we should go seek revenge on the Chen Family now? Don’t you think I know whether we can defeat them? You really are a bunch of foolish idiots!"

Upon hearing the Great Elder’s words.

The Tie Sect members looked at each other in confusion.

"Great Elder, do you mean not seeking revenge on the Chen Family now? Then when?"

A senior member of the Tie Sect asked in confusion.

"Of course, it’s when we have the strength and are able to destroy the Chen Family!"

The Great Elder said coldly.

"Looks like the Great Elder has already thought of a plan!"

"Yes, I knew it, the Great Elder wouldn’t possibly lead us to seek revenge now; that would be sending ourselves to our deaths!"

"It seems we misunderstood the Great Elder’s intentions!"

...

The Tie Sect members said one after another.

"Humph, I certainly have my own plans, and you idiots really don’t seem to have any brains. Whatever, I can’t be bothered to argue with you anymore!"

Saying this.

The Great Elder paused, walked forward two steps, looked at everyone, and directly asked, "I have only one question now: if one day, the Tie Sect has the strength to take revenge, are you willing to follow me to the Coastal, flatten the Chen Family, and avenge today’s humiliation?"

Upon hearing these words.

Everyone paused for a moment.

Then all the Tie Sect members nodded in unison, saying "We are willing!"

"Your voices are too soft; I can’t hear your determination!"

The Great Elder squinted his eyes and said again.

"Flatten the Chen Family, avenge the humiliation!"

The Tie Sect members shouted in unison.
