Chapter 315: Fall
The Invincible Fist Sage did not give up. He kept waiting where he was.
One month, two months, three months…
He waited for three months, but Lin Feng still did not appear.
The Invincible Fist Sage closed his eyes. No matter how unbelievable it was, this was the truth. Lin Feng was most likely dead.
Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage sent a short message on the communicator.
!!
“Sage Lin Feng fell in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead three months ago!”
…
Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi had been very happy during this period of time.
Through the excavation of the ancient ruins, they had already conquered many things and obtained a lot of technology from the ancient ruins. As long as they used it slightly, they could bring the technology of the entire human world to greater heights, ushering in a technological boom!
Although they were martial artists and had entered the martial arts era, they were not obstinate about it. They naturally knew the changes technology could bring.
Currently, humanity’s martial strength could not advance by leaps and bounds. Technological advancement could also increase humanity’s strength day by day.
Beep-beep-beep.
Suddenly, Sage Yuanyi and Sage Kang’s communicators rang.
“Eh, it’s the Invincible Fist Sage. I heard from him some time back that he’s going to explore the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. Does he have good news?”
Sage Kang was in a good mood, so he did not think much about it and switched on his communicator.
However, the moment he saw the content on his communicator, the smile on his face instantly froze.
“Sage Kang, what’s going on?”
Sage Yuanyi hurriedly took out his communicator, and his expression also changed drastically.
“How could this be…”
Sage Kang muttered to himself in a low voice. It was as if all his vitality had been drained at once.
Lin Feng was dead. Sage Kang had had high hopes for Lin Feng, but Lin Feng had died in the Eighteen Grottoes of the Dragonhead just after becoming the tenth Sage.
“Get to the bottom of this immediately.”
Daoist Yuanyi urgently contacted the Invincible Fist Sage.
…
Sage Batai was the only Sage in the consortium faction. The consortium faction under his control had astonishing power. Economically, Sage Batai was even wealthier than a country!
At this moment, Sage Batai was looking at a short message on his communicator.
“Lin Feng is dead?”
Sage Batai looked through it carefully again. Lin Feng was indeed dead, and it was a message from the Invincible Fist Sage himself. Although he did not get along with the Invincible Fist Sage, the Invincible Fist Sage would not lie to him about such a major matter.
Sage Batai was actually more interested in knowing the secret on Lin Feng. Being able to possess the combat power of a Sage with the strength of two life transitions was a shocking secret in itself.
Unfortunately, neither the Invincible Fist Sage nor Sage Kang supported him in strong-arming Lin Feng with forceful methods. They even made Lin Feng the tenth Sage of humanity. This made Sage Batai very dissatisfied, because now that Lin Feng had become a Sage of humanity, even he could no longer use some forceful methods to strong-arm Lin Feng.
Otherwise, he would suffer the wrath of the other eight Sages.
Beep-beep.
Suddenly, another short message appeared on Sage Batai’s communicator. The sender was a strange string of code.
“Lin Feng is dead. I want that Spear of Destruction!”
A sharp glint flashed across Sage Batai’s eyes, and he immediately replied, “You’re quite well-informed to know such confidential information.”
Sage Batai even suspected that the other party was a Sage. Only Sages would know such secret information immediately.
“Do not try to guess my ident.i.ty. You only need to know how much you have benefited from me. Help me find the Spear of Destruction this time, and I will give you what you want.”
“What do I want?”
“You want the path ahead, five life transitions! Perhaps you’ve already longed for it for quite some time.”
Seeing this message, Sage Batai gasped.
Currently, humanity only had Sages with four life transitions. How could anyone know the secret of the fifth life transition?
However, he remembered that this person had found Sage Batai when he was still in his third life transition. Then, they provided the secret to Sage Batai’s fourth life transition. In just over a decade, Sage Batai had finally undergone four life transitions and become a Sage.
This mysterious person was too enigmatic and unfathomable.
Even though Sage Batai did not quite believe it, the other party had always been cryptic, and knew too many of his secrets. Perhaps there really was a secret to five life transitions.
As for who the other party was?
Sage Batai did not know either. Perhaps it was the devil. Perhaps it was someone else. He couldn’t be sure.
However, as long as he could undergo five life transitions, he would become a supreme existence among humanity. At that time, wouldn’t it be a simple matter to find this mysterious person who was being deliberately enigmatic?
“Hmph, I can’t guarantee that I can find the Spear of Destruction. However, that robot with the combat power of a Sage from the League of Guardians must belong to me. I need a way to control that robot.”
“Deal! You only need to control the intelligent core of that robot. It’s very simple. I’ll send a program to your communicator. When the time comes, subdue that robot, approach the robot with the communicator, and activate the program.”
Soon, Sage Batai’s communicator returned to silence.
“Night Devil… I don’t care who you are. Hmph, after I obtain the robot, I’ll undergo the fifth life transition quickly. No matter how deep you hide, when the time comes, I’ll mobilize all the power of humanity, and I’ll definitely be able to expose you!”
Sage Batai gritted his teeth. In his hand lay a badge of the Night Devil.
…
“Qiji, you’ve done well during this period of time. The unofficial members of the League of Guardians has actually increased to a million!”
At the League of Guardians Headquarters, Qu Chen had obtained some authority. Hence, she had been overseeing the headquarters and helping Lin Feng to manage the League of Guardians.
During this period of time, the League of Guardians developed very quickly, especially the unofficial members. Zhang Qiji was fully in charge of them. In a very short period of time, they had already developed to a remarkable level.
“Sister-in-law, this isn’t much of a contribution. The unofficial members are all scrambling to join the League of Guardians on their own. I just established some rules and regulations.”
Zhang Qiji knew very well that unofficial members were just unofficial members. The foundation of the League of Guardians was still those official members.
“By the way, has Brother Feng still not returned?”
“Not yet. Perhaps something delayed him.”
Qu Chen also frowned slightly. It had been three months, but Lin Feng still had not returned. There was not even any news. Although Lin Feng was a Sage, Qu Chen could not help but feel a little worried.
Seeing that Qu Chen seemed a little worried, Zhang Qiji said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Brother Feng is a Sage. What danger can he be in? Perhaps he’s doing something big to save humanity right now.”
This was not flattery. Sages indeed shouldered the heavy responsibility of ensuring the safety of all humans. As a Sage, many of the things Lin Feng did were indeed to protect all of humanity.
“Beep-beep-beep. Invasion! Invasion! Invasion!”
Suddenly, an emergency alarm sounded at the League of Guardians Headquarters. Even the Guardians were alarmed.
