Chapter 162: Authority Over the Clan Chief and Elder Council

"Ice Old Man, it seems that your experiences over these decades have been quite unfortunate... It's a pity. Back in the day, your talent in cultivation was even slightly better than mine!"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Jia Xing Tian felt a wave of joy inside, yet he still wore a look of regret, sighing.

As Chen Feng revealed the hidden dangers within Hai Bo Dong's body, any sparring between Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bo Dong naturally ceased. After chatting for a while, Jia Xing Tian took his leave first.

"Chen Feng, that old guy's cultivation just now is probably at the level of a Seven or Eight-Star Dou Huang. Judging by the time, if he doesn't make a breakthrough soon, his time might be running out."

Watching the departing yellow figure, Hai Bo Dong sighed, hinting at something.

"Elder, I understand your meaning... Without Jia Xing Tian's protection, the Gamma Empire's authority might immediately falter. Hence, Jia Xing Tian might pave the way for the future of the royal family before the end arrives. As for me, I might already be seen as their biggest obstacle."

Hearing Hai Bo Dong's words, Chen Feng nodded lightly and calmly replied.

"It seems this lad comprehends the situation quite well... Moreover, he doesn't seem concerned about the royal family's methods."

Though Chen Feng's words were plain, Hai Bo Dong detected a strong sense of confidence within them. Therefore, he refrained from saying more.

Subsequently, Chen Feng and Hai Bo Dong soared through the air with their wings behind them, flying straight to the lavish estate where the Mittel Family resided. They landed at the entrance of the front hall and then proceeded inside.

"Look, wasn't that young master Chen Feng who flew in from the sky just now?"

"Young Master Chen Feng can actually fly in the sky! What's going on?"

"Who's the old man beside Young Master Chen Feng? Could he be a Dou Wang-level expert?"

As it was broad daylight, many members of the Mittel Family witnessed Chen Feng and Hai Bo Dong flying into the estate.

*Click!*

After Hai Bo Dong and Chen Feng stepped into the main hall, in a study within the luxurious estate's backyard, a serious-looking old man with graying hair snapped the pen he held in his hand.

"This aura... Why does it somewhat resemble Elder Hai..."

Sensing that unique chill, a look of excitement appeared on the old man's face.

At the same time, in another direction of the backyard, Mittel's grandfather, the second elder of the Mittel Family, Mittel Huayuan, also sensed something and immediately dashed toward the direction of the main hall.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In no time, these two gray-haired elders rushed into the hall together.

"It's... Elder Hai!"

"Elder Hai is alive!"

Upon seeing the figure seated at the innermost part of the hall, the weathered faces of these two individuals first showed some astonishment, followed by sheer joy.

"Tengshan pays respect to Elder Hai!"

"Huayuan pays respect to Elder Hai!"

After realizing, these two individuals almost instantly paid their respects to Hai Bo Dong with great excitement.

Hai Bo Dong had deep ties with the Mittel Family. When Mittel Tengshan and Mittel Huayuan were still children, the position of the Mittel Family's chief remained vacant for a long time, and the family faced difficulties. It was all thanks to Hai Bo Dong, this honorary elder, that the historically significant family managed to survive. Under his management, the Mittel Family, which was in disarray without a leader, did not decline but thrived.

Now, among the three major families within the Gamma Empire, whose strengths were almost equal, excluding Hai Bo Dong resulted in a significant increase in the family's power, thanks to this Dou Huang-level powerhouse.

"Please rise!"

Watching the two old men bowing to him, Hai Bo Dong, with an uncharacteristic hint of kindness on his otherwise fierce and old face, resembled someone looking at children.

Upon hearing this, Mittel Tengshan and Chen Feng's grandfather slowly stood up.

"Elder Hai, where have you been all these years?"

"Our family has been diligently searching throughout the empire, yet we couldn't find the slightest information about you!"

Mittel Tengshan and Mittel Huayuan eagerly inquired. Back when they were children, Hai Bo Dong had carefully taught and guided them. It was due to Hai Bo Dong's guidance that the two of them were eventually able to support the Mittel Family.

"It's a long story... but this time, I was able to return because of this lad, Chen Feng!" Hai Bo Dong sighed and then gestured towards Chen Feng, who was standing beside him.

Only at this moment did Mittel Tengshan and Mittel Huayuan shift their attention to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's aura remained unchanged, still openly displaying the aura of a Dou Wang, just as before.

Sensing the Dou Wang aura emanating from Chen Feng, Mittel Tengshan's pupils contracted suddenly. He had already found it strange that Mittel Huayuan's strength had risen to that of a Dou Wang. Now, seeing Chen Feng, who was barely sixteen, possessing Dou Wang-level cultivation, his sense of shock was beyond words.

Mittel Huayuan, Chen Feng's own grandfather, also wore an expression of disbelief. He knew his grandson's cultivation speed was fast, but he hadn't expected it to be at such a terrifying level.

"Chen Feng, have you already reached the level of a Dou Wang?" Mittel Tengshan asked in astonishment.

"Yes!"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

"Haha, your guesses are correct. Indeed, this lad, Chen Feng, has already attained the cultivation level of a Dou Wang. The Mittel Family finally has a monstrous genius!" Hai Bo Dong laughed heartily.

"This is wonderful! Today is truly a double joy for our Mittel Family!"

"Haha, Feng'er, you've brought great honor to our Mittel Family!"

Upon confirmation, the weathered faces of Mittel Tengshan and Mittel Huayuan also lit up with joy.

"Listen, both of you. In the future, some of the major arrangements within the family should try to follow Chen Feng's wishes as much as possible. His decisions can override those of the Elder Council!"

Hai Bo Dong suddenly instructed the two individuals in the center of the hall.

"Yes, Elder! Tengshan will remember!"

"Elder, Huayuan will remember!"

Hearing Hai Bo Dong's words, although Mittel Tengshan felt that Chen Feng was still young and lacked experience, he nodded without hesitation.

Although Hai Bo Dong didn't reclaim the position of clan chief, Chen Feng's authority within the Mittel Family had already surpassed that of the clan chief and the Elder Council.

"Chen Feng, lad, do you have any new arrangements for the family? You can discuss them with these two," Hai Bo Dong said, looking satisfied at Mittel Tengshan's and Mittel Huayuan's responses, then turned to inquire from Chen Feng.
