<h4>Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Preparing the Victory Banquet</h4>


    Of course.


    This arrangement is not only in the Tie Sect.


    In the Ancient Martial World, most ancient martial forces are organized in this way.


    After all, a Heaven Rank expert is the pinnacle ofbat power for an ancient martial force.


    The stronger they are, the stronger the sect will be.


    Therefore, ancient martial forces generally provide Heaven Rank experts with ample resources and time for their cultivation.


    Generally, unless there is something significant, they won’t be bothered.


    Because only when the Heaven Rank experts be stronger.


    Can the sect be more powerful and safer.


    At this moment.


    As Great Elder Zhao Hong began to speak.


    Most of the higher-ups nodded in agreement.


    Evidently, their thoughts aligned with Zhao Hong’s.


    Two Heaven Rank experts, plus a group of elite warriors.


    Such a formidable lineup.


    They couldn’t believe anything could happen in Coastal.


    After all, the intelligence report showed.


    The Chen Family in Coastal is merely a second-rate ancient martial force, not even considered third-rate.


    How could such a force withstand the elite army led by Xu Tong and Liu Shang, two Heaven Rank experts?


    It’s absolutely impossible!


    Han Tieshan’s expression improved slightly after hearing Zhao Hong’s words; he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Great Elder makes a good point. I was anxious and overly worried before. Given Liu Shang and Xu Tong’s strength, even if they can’t take down the Chen Family immediately, nothing will happen. The mere Chen Family couldn’t possibly swallow our Tie Sect’s elite army; they might have already returned triumphantly!"


    As soon as Han Tieshan said this.


    The other high-ranking members nodded repeatedly and said one after another:


    "The Sect Master is right, in front of our Tie Sect’s elite army, the Chen Family is like ants. They have probably been annihted already!"


    "Exactly, a second-rate ancient martial force, daring to provoke our Tie Sect’s prestige just because they recently upied Coastal, aren’t they courting death?"


    "Hahaha, they are absolutely doomed. We don’t need to worry. Maybe in a while, Liu Shang and Xu Tong will return with the Chen Family Patriarch’s head!"


    "I suggest we instruct the kitchen to prepare a victory feast. Liu Shang and Xu Tong are sure to return with great sess!"


    ...


    In an instant, the originally dull and oppressive meeting hall became cheery and vibrant.


    It was as if they had already received the triumphant news.


    Han Tieshan’s expression also rxed significantly at this moment. He then looked at Great Elder Zhao Hong, and asked curiously, "Great Elder, although what you said earlier makes sense, we haven’t been able to contact Liu Shang and Xu Tong for a whole day. What happened? Could something have gone wrong?"


    "Sect Master, I swear on my life, there’s no way. Liu Shang and Xu Tong are probably on their way back, leading the team. The reason we couldn’t reach them might be because they want to surprise us and intentionally didn’t contact us!"


    Zhao Hong optimistically spected.


    Upon hearing this.


    The high-ranking members all nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Zhao Hong.


    "Very well, hahaha, if that’s the case, we should indeed prepare the victory feast in advance. Since Liu Shang and Xu Tong n to give us a surprise, we should give them one too!"


    Han Tieshan grinned widely and said.


    Then, with a grand gesture, he instructed his personal servant standing beside him: "Go, inform the kitchen to prepare a victory feast. I want to warmly wee the heroes Liu Shang and Xu Tong upon their return!"


    "Yes!"


    The personal servant nodded quickly and headed off.


    Watching the servant leave.


    Han Tieshan stood up from his chair and addressed the high-ranking members, "Everyone, let’s go and get ready. When Liu Shang and Xu Tong return, we’ll all head to the banquet hall for the victory feast. Tonight we won’t leave until we’re drunk!"


    "Sure!"


    All the high-ranking members nodded and stood up with faces full of smiles.


    Intelligence Minister Huang Hua also let out a long sigh of relief, holding on to the table and standing up.


    Because now, at least for the moment, he was safe.


    "Meeting adjourned!"


    Han Tieshan grinned, then took the lead and walked towards the exit of the meeting hall.


    The high-ranking members followed closely behind.


    However.


    Just as Han Tieshan led the high-ranking members toward the entrance of the meeting hall.


    The doors of the meeting hall were suddenly pushed open from the outside.


    A man in a ck suit rushed in from outside, nearly colliding with Han Tieshan, who was at the forefront. Luckily, he stopped just in time.


    "Insolence, who dares to barge in and bump into the Sect Master!"


    Great Elder Zhao Hong, standing by the side, red fiercely at the man in the ck suit and rebuked him coldly.


    The man in the ck suit was startled and promptly knelt on the ground, knocking his head heavily on the floor several times, begging for mercy: "I deserve to die, please forgive me, Sect Master!"


    If it were before when Han Tieshan was in a foul mood, he might have pped the man in the ck suit to death right then.


    But now, after Zhao Hong’s guidance, Han Tieshan was in good spirits and was toozy to bother. He waved his hand and said calmly, "Get up first."


    "Thank you, Sect Master!"


    The man in the ck suit stood up shakily.


    However.


    After Intelligence Minister Huang Hua, behind Han Tieshan, saw the face of the man in the ck suit, his expression changed instantly.


    Because this man in the ck suit was one of the intelligence agents he had dispatched to Coastal.


    Evidently, he had returned with intelligence.


    However, looking at the beads of sweat on the man’s forehead and his grim expression.


    A very ominous premonition suddenly arose in Huang Hua’s heart.


    Instinct told him something might have gone wrong!


    Han Tieshan scrutinized the man in the ck suit from head to toe and asked calmly, "Which department are you from, and why are you in such a hurry?"


    "Reporting to the Sect Master, I’m an intelligence officer dispatched to Coastal, code number C123S. I just returned from Coastal with important intelligence, which is why I was in such a hurry!"


    The man in the ck suit dared not hide anything and told the truth.


    "Oh? Intelligence from Coastal?"


    Han Tieshan frowned slightly and nced back at Huang Hua.


    Huang Hua quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Han Tieshan’s eyes.


    Han Tieshan ignored Huang Hua and turned to the man in the ck suit, continuing, "Then speak quickly, truthfully. Have Liu Shang and Xu Tong already annihted the Chen Family and brought back the results?"


    Han Tieshan’s words left the man in the ck suit momentarily stunned, then he quickly shook his head: "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Chen Family remained intact, but Xu Tong and Liu Shang..."


    "What about them?"


    Han Tieshan’s expression changed instantly, and he asked urgently.


    The man in the ck suit took a deep breath and said, "They all fell at the hands of the Chen Family!"
