The discussion continued in the Flame Hall, the weight of the situation pressing heavily upon the gathered elders.
Another elder spoke up, his eyes burning with intensity.
"We can't let this incident go unpunished. The Feng Clan is clearly against us, having dared to kill one of our elders. They need to be eliminated, or others will start thinking they can challenge us without consequences as well."
Several heads around the room nodded in agreement.
The belief was strong that Feng Chen's brazen act of killing their elders had not only tarnished their sect's reputation but had also threatened their authority.
The only way to undo the loss of reputation and criticism was to destroy the Feng Clan. There was no other option like apologizing to Feng Clan for their elder's actions.
Rather they believed that it was Feng Clan's fault!
