Chapter 321: The Situation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng was eager to kill Lu Ming, to get it over with.
In the beginning, this was actually not a personal vendetta. Lin Feng wanted to kill Lu Ming so that he could gain Jiu Han’s attention and to sell out one of the major players among the subversives, Moon Fiend.
But as the situation developed, it had become a personal grudge…
Who do you think I, Lin Feng, am? The Son of Fortuity!
And yet, I’ve run into you, Lu Ming, who’s been outshining me at every turn… This was indeed unbearable for the proud Lin Feng.
Thinking about the differential treatment Lin Feng had received from Jiu Han during this time, Lin Feng gritted his teeth with resentment.
Hatred surged, but it ended up in helplessness.
“But there’s nothing I can do!!”
The plan was well-designed, and as long as Lu Ming followed him out of the academy, Lin Feng had a hundred ways to deal with him. But he had not expected that Lu Ming was such a homebody who would stay in the Boshi Tower and not come out at all…
As long as Lu Ming was in the Boshi Tower, no one could touch Lu Ming!
Looking up at the others, Lin Feng helplessly said, “Do any of you have any good ideas?”
Everyone fell silent.
The Subversives were a large organization.
This organization was ambitious, powerful, and had been lurking in the shadows for a long time. It was unknown how many hidden factions there were.
During the infiltration process, the subversives had long infiltrated the various races and organizations. Even the Three Elements Academy had many peripherals of the subversives, including Lin Feng and the five others present.
Their ident.i.ties were probably similar to Lu Ming’s in the past.
At this moment, after hearing Lin Feng’s words, the few of them were silent for a long time. Finally, someone said, “There’s nothing we can do. As long as Lu Ming is in the Boshi Tower, we can’t do anything to him.”
Another person said, “That’s why we have to change our approach. Since Lu Ming is unwilling to leave the academy, let’s focus on the people around Lu Ming… 1 remember that he has a servant who also entered the Three Elements Academy. His name is Quan Chao, Quan Chao, right? What do you all think about using him to lure Lu Ming out?”
Lin Feng was the first to object, “I’ve already tried that, and it didn’t work.”
“This Quan Chao’s level of caution is only slightly lower than Lu Ming’s. He absolutely won’t leave the academy and he has no entanglements with anyone…”
If they could not do anything to Lu Ming through Quan Chao, it seemed that there would be no way to deal with Lu Ming.
The five of them felt frustrated.
Not far away, a faint red light bloomed, and the blood-red eyes appeared again.
The five of them respectfully lowered their heads and heard a voice coming from the blood-red eyes.
“Lin Feng, my disciple, you’re too hasty.”
Lin Feng was slightly stunned and then replied immediately, “Teacher is right.”
The person with blood-red eyes continued, “There’s no need to be anxious about Lu Ming. You’ve only been in the Three Elements Academy for a little over ten days, and you don’t need to make any contributions hastily.”
“Your most important task right now is to learn the ways of array formations and find the weakness in the array formation within the Boshi Tower…”
Lin Feng lowered his head again and agreed.
Seeing Lin Feng’s obedient demeanor, the blood-red-eyed person smiled and said, “In any case, I’ll provide you with an idea.”
“Lu Ming’s strength is low and he’s not a threat. The reason why you think Lu Ming is difficult to deal with is not because of himself but because of his backer, Jiu Han is hard to deal with.”
“Think on a larger scale. Think about it. If Jiu Han, the Three Elements Academy, and even the Hundred Schools of Philosophy collapse, won’t it be very easy to kill Lu Ming?”
This sounded a bit like an impractical dream for Lin Feng and the others.
How could Lin Feng and the other four have the power and influence of the person with the blood-red eyes? If they tried to think on a larger scale, it would be nothing but a pipe dream….
Of course, at this moment, no one dared to say anything in front of the venerable figure. After a long time, the blood-red eyed person continued, “There will be an unforeseen event in the Hundred Thousand Mountains Battlefield in the near future. At that time, Jiu Han will leave the academy. If you’re really anxious, you can consider attacking at that time.”
“But 1 don’t want you to attack at that time, it might alert the enemy.”
“In short, Lu Ming’s matter is minor, but the hidden threat is significant. Lin Feng, don’t let personal grudges cloud your judgment.”
After saying this, the blood-red eyes quickly disappeared,
leaving the five people in the dream s.p.a.ce deep in thought.
A month later.
The 683rd Day of the Black Mist Calendar.
The situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains changed drastically!
Countless zombie beasts surged into the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, relentlessly attacking the steel defense line constructed by the four ancient beast races, the Eternal Clan, and the Giant Clan.
Behind the zombie beasts was an endless Insect tide.
It was also on this day that the subversives mobilized six experts at the Divine Spirit Realm to brazenly attack Shu Fang and Hao Jun, and Moon Fiend was also among them.
This battle lasted for a full ten days.
When the news of the battle reached the rear of the Eternal Clan, the world could not help but gasp in shock.
The Eternal Clan’s coalition forces suffered a disastrous defeat.The Aeonian allied army suffered a crushing defeat.
Hao Jun was killed on the spot, and Haona was captured alive, reportedly falling into the hands of Moon Fiend, with an ominous fate awaiting her.
On the same day, an elite squad of quasi-divine level experts attacked the last stronghold of the Giant Clan and cleared it within a short time.
Thus, the once prestigious Giant Clan was essentially declared exterminated.
Shu Fang successfully retreated from the battlefield, but he was also severely injured, rendering him unable to fight again in the short term.
The front line formed by the Aeonian coalition forces was shattered. The main army composed of the four ancient beast tribes was almost completely annihilated, and the four ancient beast tribes were slaughtered by Moon Fiend. From this point on, there was no longer any ancient beast tribe in the world.
With the breach of the defense line of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Alliance of Subversives advanced rapidly, penetrating into the territory of the Eternal Clan, the Qinghe Province.
And they re-established themselves there.
On the same day, the Aeonians held a meeting of the G.o.ds and made a decision.
The defense of this front line is now the responsibility of the military, and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy sent experts as top-tier forces.
In this situation, Jiu Han was forced to come out of seclusion and personally guard the Qinghe Province.
Lu Ming knew nothing about the outside world.
He did not pay attention to these messy affairs.
However, it was during one morning cla.s.s that he noticed something unusual about Jiu Han.
“Teacher, your body…”
Jiu Han’s body was somewhat blurry, prompting Lu Ming to ask.
Hearing this, Jiu Han shook his head and said, “Something happened on the battlefield. Your senior brother, Shu Fang, was inferior and was bullied. I can only go to the front line as an old man and spar with others.”
“In short, although my main body has gone to the battlefield, 1 still have a clone guarding the Boshi Tower. You don’t need to worry about these things, just focus on your cultivation.”
After saying this, Jiu Han smiled kindly at Lu Ming and asked, “How’s your progress?”
“In two months, I can change to a new Body Forging technique.” Lu Ming replied. Jiu Han stroked his beard and smiled. “I’ve already prepared the follow-up cultivation techniques and related resources. Other than cultivating, you don’t have to consider anything else.”
Lu Ming immediately nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you for your nurturing, Teacher.”
His grat.i.tude to Jiu Han was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
Jiu Han also responded with a smile, but underneath his smile, there was a hint of sorrow.
This was because Jiu Han vaguely sensed that this war between the two major forces harbored an unprecedented storm of terror.
As for Lu Ming…”
Thinking of this, Jiu Han sighed again in his heart.
With such talent, such effort, and such uniqueness.
However, at this moment, Jiu Han had a premonition…
There was not much time left for this child..
