Tomorrow would be the fifteenth day, the day Lin Feng and Fu Dao were supposed to meet. Lin Feng hoped he'd benefit the most from that meeting. Both parties understood how essential their meeting was.
Lin Feng and Fu Dao could be considered the representatives of two different worlds. They would thus both do their best to help.
——
Region of the Eight Corners, Central Man Yu…
People were everywhere, inside and outside. They were all waiting anxiously. Lin Feng would be the one to choose who would come to Jing City with him. It was an opportunity, but it could also be dangerous. The ones who would go with him might be rewarded, but they might also die.
It was a bet. If they won, they'd win everything. If they lost, they'd lose everything!
Everybody stared at Lin Feng. He was the only one who looked perfectly calm. He was seated on his throne. In the previous days, he had practiced the Third Wave, and now he could proudly announce that his fighting ability was as good as an ordinary Holy Godly Ancestor's. Of course, Fu Dao wasn't an ordinary cultivator, and Lin Feng was aware of that.
But no matter what, he was ready to give it all for his people, for the young geniuses of the lower world, and for the Country of Eternity's honor and integrity. He wanted to show the world the young geniuses of the lower world were as strong as the young geniuses of the World of Battles. He hoped the people of the World of Battles would finally understand and remember that forever.
"Lin Feng, Lin Feng!" Chu Chun Qiu was worried because Lin Feng wasn't acting. He shook Lin Feng's throne to bring him back to his senses. When Lin Feng saw excitement in Chu Chun Qiu and Prince Ghost's eyes, he glanced at the hundreds of people around him, all of them determined.
Everybody had taken the initiative to come here, it wasn't because of Lin Feng's orders. Lin Feng hadn't thought so many people would be willing to go and take risks. He had forgotten that people from the Region of the Eight Corners were famous for being tough, fierce, and violent. They didn't fear death, especially when it came to the Region of the Eight Corners' honor and integrity.
To Chu Chun Qiu and the others, it was an opportunity to avenge all those who had died for the honor of the Country of Eternity. To the people of the Region of the Eight Corners, it was also an opportunity to show the world how strong they were. If they succeeded, they would rise and become famous.
Li Ju and Ta Han Yuan were standing at the front. They were both Holy Godly Ancestors, and both had lots of experience. When Ancestor Shi wasn't there, they were qualified to replace him. Of course, Xue Wu Tian, Xue Wu Di, and Gan Yuan Chang were all under pressure. The Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points kept putting pressure on them, so at some point, they would probably submit to Lin Feng and he would be able to use them.
Miss Eight and the others were standing behind Ta Han Yuan and Li Ju. Behind the three Holy Godly Ancestors of the Yi Clan were Huo Han, Huo Ju, and Huo Can. Huo Xi was still in Lin Feng's Jia Yan's Eye.
Nine Holy Godly Ancestors, the Demon Corpse Army, the members of the Yi Clan whom Lin Feng had made a pact with… With all those people, Lin Feng could compete with eleven Holy Godly Ancestors!
Lin Feng alone could compete with one Holy Godly Ancestor. For the time being there weren't too many people who had the strength of the Spiritual Godly Ancestor and above in the Region of the Eight Corners. Bao Sha was a Spiritual Godly Ancestor, Li Chen was a Spiritual Godly Ancestor, and apart from them, Lin Feng was the only other Spiritual Godly Ancestor!
Bao Sha, Shi Yu, Shi Jue Ling, Shi Wen Lin, Shi Man Shan, Li Shi World, Li Shi Stone, Ta Hua Xuan, Ta Dao, Huang Fen Tian, and many others had the strength of the ordinary Godly Ancestor layer.
Li Ju had already taken care of Li Dian. When Li Ju learned there were tensions between Lin Feng and Li Dian, Li Ju killed Li Dian without hesitation. He didn't want anyone to ruin his relationship with Lin Feng.
So, Lin Feng had over fifty Holy Godly Ancestors and ordinary Godly Ancestors in total. As for cultivators of the top of the Great Supreme God layer, he had many, between two and three thousand. That was how powerful the Region of the Eight Corners was for the time being. Of course, only thirty people stood at the top!
"So this time, in Jing City, there may be some battles to the death. Nobody should think it's going to be easy. Therefore, if you are afraid, it's not too late; you can leave, and I won't blame you. I don't want people from the Region of the Eight Corners to die, after all."
Lin Feng slowly stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, pacing back and forth while talking.
A few disciples still got scared when they heard Lin Feng, but when they saw most people looked determined and shook their heads, they grit their teeth. They had to stay!
When Lin Feng saw that, he nodded approvingly. No wonder people from the region were famous for being cruel, violent, and brave. As expected, they didn't fear death!
"Since it's that way, I'll choose twenty people to come with me. The others can stay outside of Jing City during the meeting and if anything happens, come in and help!
"Song Chou Jiu, you stay here and protect the Region of the Eight Corners. Our enemies may attack during the meeting," Lin Feng said. Song Chou Jiu was a core member of the Region of the Eight Corners. He could replace Lin Feng in managing the region. Without Song Chou Jiu, the Region of the Eight Corners would definitely sink into chaos.
Song Chou Jiu knew how important his job was, so he merely nodded.
"Don't worry, leader. You can leave without worrying. Leave it to me," answered Song Chou Jiu, bowing hand over fist. He was a bit disappointed, but he didn't show it.
Lin Feng nodded happily, then looked at the crowd, "Master Ta Han Yuan, Master Li Ju, Sister Eight Huo Xi, Huo Han and Huo Ju, you eight Holy Godly Ancestors, come with me. And then… the fourteen others will be Zong Hu, Ti Yuan Hu Shan, Ta Han Xuan, Ta Dao, Huang Lei, Great Elder Li Chen, Shi Jue Ling, Chu Chun Qiu, Prince Ghost, Qing Tong, Qing Feng Yang, Zi Jing Xiao and Han Xuan.
"Those are the twenty people who will come with me. Ten people need to hide in case something happens. Master Life, Master Water, you two take eight people with you to hide.
"The others can stay here and guard the Region of the Eight Corners. Don't worry. With the help of my teacher, the Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points, we're safe."
With an overlord in the Region of the Eight Corners, nobody could pose a threat to them, unless the enemy was an overlord as well. The worst case would be if the enemy was also a group of overlords.
"Understood!" Everybody bowed hand over fist respectfully and very seriously.
"Let's go!" shouted Lin Feng, leading the way for the twenty people. A big army thus left the great palace and entered the Cave World, the one which led to Shi Yu. From Shi Yu, they had to go north and they would arrive in Jing City. It was the quickest way.
Zhuang Ling Yun wanted to follow, but Lin Feng threw a palm strike at him and put him into a coma. It was the best way. He would have a nice long sleep!
Fu Dao probably had some people with him going to Jing City this time…
——
Jing Rui couldn't help but sigh. There was always something going on in Jing City. He had to work all the time. He couldn't refuse, especially when two powerful influential groups asked him. He had to agree, as he couldn't offend them. He knew the young geniuses of the World of Battles were supported by Ancestor Mo and the Human Ancestor. The Region of the Eight Corners was supported by Ni Huang and the Ancestor of the Five Cardinal Points.
He had to give all those overlords face!
"Move all the people of Purple Clouds Palace to Zheng Yang Palace. Our guests will use Purple Clouds Palace tomorrow."
——-
"Who are you going to bring with you tomorrow, Vice Leader?" asked Su Qing excitedly. He really wanted to go and see what kind of person Lin Feng was. What kind of person dared humiliate the young geniuses of the Alliance of the Young Geniuses of the World of Battles? Su Qing had been feeling depressed lately because of Lin Feng.
"I'm done choosing. Xue Chuan, Cavalier of the Desert Su Feng Sha, Zhan Die from the Spiritual Warriors Clan, and ten Holy Godly Ancestors. Why?" replied Fu Dao, straightening his clothes and sitting up properly. He was holding a book reading the latest news of the world. Two news items were related to the Region of the Eight Corners.
Fu Dao had to understand Lin Feng to defeat him, for the honor and integrity of the Alliance of the Young Geniuses of the World of Battles.
"Can I come, too?" asked Su Qin, with a simpering smile.
Fu Dao looked at him and shook his head, smiling easily. "No."
"Alright, I understand," Su Qing sighed, pulling a long face. His eyes were filled with hatred for a few seconds.
"Your job is to ensure the Alliance doesn't collapse. You are the war counsellor of the Alliance, as well as the Eminent Scholar. You already have so much work to do, focus! I'm off," said Fu Dao, smiling absently. He put the book down, stood up, walked past Su Qing, patted his shoulder and left.
Ten minutes later, fourteen people were ready to leave and disappeared.
—
Crack!
Su Qing clenched his fists. His face was distorted with hatred.
"Fu Dao, wait and you'll see! Sooner or later, you'll be kneeling down in front of me and calling me the new Vice Leader, hmph!"
His eyes were filled with murder. He looked very unhappy.
——
That night was very cold, and the wind was very strong. There was no moon and no stars. It was very dark in the World of Battles that night.
The atmosphere was gloomy. The meeting between the Region of the Eight Corners and the Alliance of the Young Geniuses of the World of Battles wasn't a secret. Everybody already knew about it.
All the influential groups who supported the Alliance of the Young Geniuses of the World of Battles and hated Lin Feng also sent people.
"People from the Spiritual Warriors Clan, the World Dragon Clan, the Jun Hall, the Demon Clan, Cavaliers of the Desert, Xiao Hun Hall, so many people…?"
Jing Rui was stupefied when he heard his disciples' reports. Representatives from all influential groups were here? How astonishing! At the same time, he was worried about Lin Feng.
Why were they here? Most of those people were here waiting for an opportunity to kill Lin Feng!
