July 15.
This time, the Martial Arts Association did not even bother putting on an act.
They brought Feng Tengyun out directly, accompanied by the president and vice president themselves.
Together, they arrived at Chen Feng’s villa.
On this special day, seeing Feng Tengyun arrive in such a manner, Chen Feng immediately sensed that another troublesome matter was about to unfold.
Feng Tengyun skipped all pleasantries and got straight to the point.
“Su Yuanshan intends to resurrect thirty Martial Gods all at once.”
“Other than his wife and children, the remaining twenty-seven are Martial Gods who served under him.”
“You should know very well what kind of beings are powerful enough to occupy the Ghost Mound sarcophagi in the Netherworld.”
“You should also be able to imagine the consequences if Su Yuanshan succeeds.”
Hearing that number, Chen Feng could not help feeling shocked.
Twenty-seven Martial Gods under Su Yuanshan’s command, plus Su Yuanshan, his wife, and his younger brother.
That made thirty Martial Gods in total.
Thirty Martial Gods appearing in this world all at once.
Chen Feng could hardly imagine it.
If even the slightest conflict broke out, how many ordinary people would die?
But knowing about it did not help.
He could not stop it.
No one could.
Chen Feng looked at Feng Tengyun and asked, “There’s no point in telling me. I can’t do anything about it either.”
Feng Tengyun shook his head.
“There is a way.”
“Schemes and plots are utterly useless in the face of absolute power.”
“Our only option now is to use an overt strategy. Of course, the price will be terrible.”
“And you are the key to this strategy.”
Chen Feng frowned.
“What overt strategy?”
Feng Tengyun said calmly, “Announce this matter to the entire world in the name of a hero of Great Xia.”
“Tell everyone what is about to happen.”
“Let the people of the world make their own choice.”
“Will they choose to be silent lambs waiting for slaughter, or risk their lives in a final struggle for the future?”
“Only by opening more Ghost Mound sarcophagi can we stop Su Yuanshan from completely dominating this era.”
“There is one more thing you must do: persuade Yin Hu to take action and hold Su Yuanshan back.”
After hearing Feng Tengyun out, Chen Feng more or less understood his plan.
To put it bluntly, they were calling on people across the world to go to their deaths.
Opening every Ghost Mound sarcophagus required the sacrifice of a life.
And even more people would die on the way to opening them.
“Whether the plan succeeds or fails, countless people will die.”
“There is also the possibility of provoking Su Yuanshan.”
“He might respond with extreme measures and cause a repeat of the Southern Continent incident.”
“Perhaps we should endure for now and wait for another opportunity.”
“Over the past year, apart from Immortal City, Su Yuanshan hasn’t done anything too extreme.”
“Besides, he won’t destroy the entire world. After all, he and his family still have to live in it.”
This time, Feng Tengyun did not speak.
Instead, the president repeated the words that had been spoken at the meeting.
“How long are we supposed to endure?”
“A year? Ten years? Or perhaps several centuries?”
“Do you know how long a Martial God can live? Will there really be another opportunity in the future?”
“Thirty Martial Gods would be more than enough to seal off Mount Kunlun or kill the flood dragon and Yin Hu.”
“Do you really think that after resurrecting so many Martial Gods, he’ll continue to coexist peacefully with us?”
“Think carefully. This may be our last chance.”
“Whether we resist or refuse to resist, and whether our resistance succeeds or fails, there will be only one outcome.”
“This world will be ruled by a tyrant who massacres an entire continent without even blinking.”
“In the future, the people who control the world will become the Swallowing Heaven Club!”
Chen Feng knew that he was taking things for granted.
But after hearing the president of the Martial Arts Association, he once again fell into a long silence.
Neither side spoke.
Feng Tengyun, the president, and the vice president all knew how weighty this choice was.
They also knew what it meant for Chen Feng.
It was tantamount to openly challenging Su Yuanshan.
If this had been anyone else, Feng Tengyun would not have held out any hope of persuading them to sacrifice themselves.
But the man before him was different.
People like Chen Feng were exceedingly rare.
And more often than not, they met with tragic ends.
Still, there was no denying that such people were treasures of humanity.
They were simply destined to make sacrifices from the moment they were born.
“All right!”
After a long while, those two simple words rang out in the quiet living room.
Yet everyone present knew just how heavy they were.
Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei, who had been sitting silently to one side, anxiously spoke up:
“Master, if you do this, Su Yuanshan definitely won’t let you off, regardless of whether you succeed or fail.”
“And even if you explain all the consequences, how many people would willingly go to their deaths?”
Feng Tengyun rarely revealed a faint smile.
The president beside him was just about to speak when Feng Tengyun raised a hand to stop him.
He wanted to see how this Great Xia hero would answer his disciples.
Chen Feng let out a sigh.
“I’ve always been Su Yuanshan’s enemy.”
“I know that as long as I speak, countless people will go to their deaths.”
“Especially the final survivors of the Southern Continent.”
At that moment, Feng Tengyun’s smile grew even wider.
The president and vice president both froze slightly.
Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei could clearly sense it.
Their master was overwhelmed by a helpless sense of powerlessness.
Even his hair, which had turned white because of Su Yan’s death, seemed to have grown whiter still.
…
The Kunlun Mountains.
Su Yuanshan sat atop Jade Mountain, gazing into the distance at the Four Symbols Heavenly Chasm.
This was the first time he had ever taken in the scenery of the Kunlun Mountains.
Ever since he was a child, he had heard all kinds of legends about Kunlun opening its gates. He had always thought that when he grew old, he would surely find the chance to enter the Kunlun Mountains during that occasion and see for himself the so-called dragon vein of Great Xia.
Unfortunately, he had died before that day ever came.
After being resurrected, however, he had looked through his son-in-law Chen Feng’s records and learned the truth.
The so-called dragon vein of Great Xia was a trap deliberately revealed by Zhang Bowen.
With just eight words, it had claimed the lives of countless people over several centuries.
In the end, it was his own son-in-law who had seen through it.
He had to admit that there was indeed a reason his daughter had fallen for Chen Feng.
Just like himself back then, Chen Feng had dazzled all of Great Xia the moment he made his move.
He had even won the heart of Dugu Lingyue, the prodigious daughter of the Dugu family.
Unfortunately, his son-in-law’s personality left much to be desired.
After taking in Jade Mountain and Yaochi, Su Yuanshan made his way to the Four Symbols Heavenly Chasm.
He felt the lingering might of the four great divine beasts of the beast race.
“As expected of Gu Banjin. To think he could use Kunlun to suppress humanity’s martial fortunes for ten thousand years.”
“I wonder how many more trump cards you have up your sleeve. I truly look forward to finding out.”
Just then, a Martial Saint rushed up to Su Yuanshan.
He opened the tablet in his hands. Chen Feng’s speech was playing on the screen.
“All the online media are being forced to play this news video.”
His subordinate hurriedly reported.
Su Yuanshan took the tablet.
Looking into Chen Feng’s resolute eyes and listening to his earnest words, the corners of his mouth curled into an excited smile.
“Heh…”
“As expected of my son-in-law!”
“You’ve got guts!”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
