Chapter 242: If the Root Is Gone, How Can Leaves Exist?
Chu Feng’s deep voice resounded throughout the meeting room.
“You keep saying that you want to save the world, but look at what you’ve done!
“Where were you when the human Heavenly Master risked their lives?
“Where were you when billions of humans were killed?!
“Countless innocent lives are lost every day, but you ignore it. Now you’re telling me that you were forced to do this?
“Ridiculous!
“What bullshit Holy Child saving the world!
“Delayed salvation like this. I’m sorry, but we don’t need it.”
Nie Qinglan was rendered speechless by Chu Feng’s rebuttal.
In any case, the three Sacred Lands were indeed useless in this human calamity.
Instead, because of them, humans suffered too many unnecessary casualties.
Chu Feng looked at Nie Qinglan and Xuan Chengzi, who had their heads lowered, and muttered.
“If the roots don’t exist, how can the leaves exist?”
“If you can’t even see through this, I think there might be no need for the Sacred Lands to exist.”
Xuan Chengzi suddenly raised his head.
“What … what do you mean?”
Chu Feng merely smiled lightly.
No response.
Instead, he cupped his fists respectfully at the human seniors.
“Seniors, I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Then, Chu Feng turned around and left.
He walked through the crowd and was about to leave the conference room.
Ye Qingtian looked at Chu Feng’s back and finally couldn’t help but ask.
“What are you going to do?”
Chu Feng smiled faintly without turning his head.
He enunciated each word clearly.
His voice was like thunder.
“I’m going to the Sacred Land and demand an explanation. If I can’t get one, I’ll kill.”
Just as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately exclaimed!
“Sss…”
“What did he just say?!”
“Go to the Sacred Land and kill people?!”
“You must be crazy!”
The group of human prodigies was shocked speechless.
Even the older Heavenly Masters frowned tightly.
What was Chu Feng trying to do?
Was he joking?
Was he really going to ask the Sacred Lands for an explanation?
How was it possible!
Even the more than ten Heavenly Master powerhouses present could not do anything to the three Sacred Lands.
You, Chu Feng, a junior who isn’t even a Grade A+, are asking for an explanation?
Are you kidding me!
He probably couldn’t even enter the mountain gate!
Chu Feng saw everyone’s reaction, but he did not care. He was determined to leave.
Sister Hong took a deep breath and looked at Chu Feng.
“Do you know that the three Sacred Lands have a deep foundation and more than a dozen Heavenly Masters?”
“Do you know that their firm attitude is unchanged even if the boss personally comes to invite them?”
“Do you know what will happen if you go?”
The three consecutive questions revealed Sister Hong’s inner turmoil.
Although she also wanted to go to the three Sacred Lands to kill to her heart’s content, it wouldn’t do!
The power of the Sacred Lands was still too strong!
At this critical moment, the power of humans could not be wasted on internal strife!
When Chu Feng heard this, he stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around.
Everyone noticed that the corners of Chu Feng’s mouth were curved into a crescent.
It was a brilliant smile.
Calm and confident.
Chu Feng said softly.
“Sister Hong, of course I know what you’re talking about.”
“But I hate people who watch without doing anything.”
“Those foreign races that invaded us deserve to be killed, but these ‘companions’ who watched billions of humans die also deserve to die!
“I don’t like it when someone benefits from behind while I’m fighting the demons!
“Therefore, before the war between humans and demons, I have to clean up all uncertain factors.”
“It’s useless. They just won’t leave the sects. What can you do to them? Boss Hou even went to invite them personally. It’s useless!”
Ye Qingtian could not help but interrupt.
Chu Feng’s smile widened.
“Then kill!”
“Human beings are in disaster. If they dare to avoid the battle, I’ll kill them!
“Kill until they come out!
“If they don’t fight, they die!”
“They will know how to choose, I think.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng suddenly cupped his hands again.
“Seniors, there’s no need to worry. It’s just a Sacred Land. I’ll be back soon.”
The group of Heavenly Masters could not help but look at each other.
“This kid is so arrogant!”
“He’s only a C-rank martial artist. Where did he get his confidence from…”
Quade was even more direct.
“Kid, the three Sacred Lands are definitely not easy to deal with. Even I don’t dare to directly attack the Sacred Lands! Where did you get your confidence from?!
“Don’t blame me for being straightforward. A mere C-rank martial artist like you probably won’t be able to return!”
In the crowd, Xuan Chengzi and Nie Qinglan looked at each other and shook their heads.
Clearly, they only thought that Chu Feng was speaking out of anger.
How could the dignified Sacred Lands be overturned by a junior?
However, if they really let Chu Feng go, his life would probably be in danger!
Xuan Chengzi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
“Brother Chu, you don’t understand!
“The power of the Sacred Land is far beyond your imagination!
“The sacred grounds of Mount Longhu and the Penglai Immortal Realm are fine. They won’t do anything to you.
“But don’t forget that you once killed the number one genius of the Kunlun Sacred Domain!
“Wouldn’t you be walking into a tiger’s den?
“Without the power of Grade A+, you wouldn’t even be able to escape from the hands of that Grand Supreme Elder of Kunlun!
“I think Brother Chu is still a C-rank martial artist. It’s really a little…”
Xuan Chengzi did not finish his sentence.
But everyone knew what he meant.
This was actually what everyone was thinking.
If you are strong enough, the three Sacred Lands might really be afraid if you said that.
However, as a C-rank martial artist, your tone would only make people feel ridiculous.
It was like an ant trying to challenge an elephant.
He had overestimated himself!
However, facing Chu Feng, the former number one genius of humanity, no one wanted to say anything.
Chu Feng did not say much.
He only glanced at the crowd.
In the end, his gaze landed on Xuan Chengzi.
He spoke softly.
“Brother Xuan Chengzi, if I remember correctly, you’re now ranked second on the Golden Ranking List, right? May I ask how your current strength is?”
Xuan Chengzi was stunned.
He did not understand why Chu Feng suddenly asked him this.
Still, he said simply.
“I’m just temporarily ranked second. In terms of strength, I once killed a sixth-stage Spirit Transformation demon genius.”
Xuan Chengzi’s tone was indifferent.
However, the faint pride in his words could not be concealed.
In just over a month, he had increased from a C-rank martial artist to his current strength.
He could definitely be considered a peerless prodigy!
Chu Feng only nodded expressionlessly.
“In other words, you’re probably at the seventh or eighth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. At most, you are not above the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Am I right?”
Xuan Chengzi was even more confused, but he still nodded.
If he went all out, he could indeed fight a peak-level Spirit Transformation cultivator in a short period of time!
Chu Feng nodded as well.
“That’s just right.”
These words confused everyone.
Just as they were feeling puzzled, suddenly, Chu Feng moved.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Feng slowly extended a finger.
He pointed at Xuan Chengzi.
He was nonchalant.
It seemed like a meaningless gesture.
Bai Ziyuan and the others beside Xuan Chengzi did not feel anything at all.
But at that moment.
All the Heavenly Masters present suddenly felt an indescribable terrifying aura!
Energy surged like an apocalypse.
It made everyone’s hair stand on end.
Fortunately, this feeling was only fleeting.
Before anyone could figure out what had happened, opposite Chu Feng, Xuan Chengzi was kneeling on the ground, the veins on his forehead bulging. His expression was ferocious, as if he had encountered something terrifying.
He looked at Chu Feng.
It was an indescribable horror.
His voice was trembling.
“You… you… Grade A+!!”
