Chapter 1789: Chapter 1787: Assisting from the Sidelines (Happy New Year)
Originally, they saw Chen Feng seriously injured and thought this unprecedented battle was finally coming to an end.
In that case, their Ancient Martial Arts Association’s main hall would be preserved.
But what they didn’t expect was that Chen Feng actually healed his injuries in a very strange way.
And it was so quick, so fast.
As a result, Chen Feng and Yang Zhen, the two Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak powerhouses, were once again locked in fierce battle.
Moreover, their battle grew even more intense.
If things continue like this, the collapse of the main hall is just a matter of time.
Because at this moment, the entire main hall has already begun to shake violently.
"What should we do? Third Brother, why hasn’t Fourth Brother brought the President out yet?"
The Fifth Elder turned his head to look at the Third Elder, asking with a face full of worry.
"Our President’s whereabouts are uncertain. Although he’s said to be inside the Ancient Martial Arts Association, he might be secluding himself in some place difficult for ordinary people to find, so Old Fourth will need some time to locate him."
The Third Elder replied, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Then what do we do? We can’t just stand by and watch as the Vice President and that Chen Feng kid continue fighting, right? If this keeps going, our main hall is definitely not going to be preserved!"
The Fifth Elder worriedly interjected.
"There’s nothing we can do about it! Sigh! If we had another Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak powerhouse now, it would be great. That way we could join forces with the Vice President to crush Chen Feng!"
The Third Elder sighed and said.
"Should we go in then?"
The Fifth Elder gritted his teeth and suggested.
"What?"
The Third Elder seemed not to have heard the Fifth Elder clearly, and quickly confirmed, "What did you just say?"
"I said, why don’t we go in and help the Vice President deal with Chen Feng together!"
The Fifth Elder gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you joking? Not to mention that battles between Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak powerhouses are not something we, at the Middle Stage, can interfere in. Besides, the two of us are still injured, and if we join in, are you sure you’re helping the Vice President rather than creating more chaos?"
The Third Elder rolled his eyes at the Fifth Elder and said irritably.
"But still, it’s better than us just standing here watching helplessly. I thought about it, and I think if the two of us join forces with all the present experts, even if we can’t threaten Chen Feng, we can at least create some distractions for him. Then, with the Vice President attacking head-on, there might be some suppression effect!"
The Fifth Elder said.
"This..." The Third Elder hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "What you said makes some sense, but if we really do this, the Vice President might not be happy. You can see, he and that kid are already into it now, and he definitely wants to kill Chen Feng himself. If we help from the side, even if we defeat Chen Feng, he’ll surely blame us!"
"The situation is urgent, so we can’t worry about that. If we let them continue fighting, and our entire Ancient Martial Arts Association’s main hall collapses, that would be a huge responsibility. If the President blames us, it might fall on us because we watched the Vice President fighting the enemy without helping. That’s a significant offense!"
The Fifth Elder said with a bitter face.
Upon hearing this.
The Third Elder pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, I think you’re right, Fifth Brother. Since that’s the case, go gather everyone over here. I’m going to issue orders!"
"Okay!"
The Fifth Elder nodded, then quickly waved to all the present white-clothed men and shouted, "Come over here!"
With the Fifth Elder’s command.
All the white-clothed men present hurried over to the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder.
"What are the orders from the two Elders?"
The leading white-clothed man looked at the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder, and asked respectfully.
"The Vice President has been engaged in a prolonged battle with the enemy, for the safety of our Ancient Martial Arts Association, and for the safety of our main hall, the Fifth Elder and I have decided to assist the Vice President from the side to slay the enemy. However, relying only on the Fifth Elder and me will not be enough, so we need all the experts present to join in, so we can create distraction and containment for Chen Feng. Are you willing to go to battle?"
The Third Elder directly looked at all the white-clothed men present and spoke.
Upon hearing this.
All the white-clothed men frowned slightly, and a trace of reluctance flashed in their eyes.
After all, the battle between Chen Feng and Yang Zhen isn’t something they, as Earth Rank powerhouses, can intervene in.
Once involved, it could be a path to death.
Especially after witnessing the intense confrontation between Chen Feng and Yang Zhen, the terrifying wave emitted after each clash made their hearts tremble with fear.
Just standing on the sidelines caused them fear.
Let alone joining the battle to assist Yang Zhen.
Wouldn’t that make them cannon fodder?
Seeing no response from the crowd.
The Third Elder’s face turned dark, and he spoke coldly, "What? You’re all scared? Let me tell you, you can hide like tortoises now, but if the Vice President and Chen Feng’s fight gets more intense, causing the collapse of our Ancient Martial Arts Association’s main hall, when the President blames us, all of you will be implicated, and once he holds you accountable, you’re on a path to death!"
Hearing this.
Everyone present changed their expression and shrunk their necks.
Seeing this, the Third Elder continued, "Of course, if you’re willing to assist me and the Fifth Elder now, attacking Chen Feng, assisting the Vice President in defeating Chen Feng, and ending the battle early, then our Ancient Martial Arts Association’s main hall can be preserved. That is a great achievement, and at that time, not only will you not be punished, but you might receive rewards. How about it? Think about it carefully!"
Upon hearing the Third Elder’s words.
Everyone present glanced at each other, exchanging looks.
After a long while, the leading white-clothed man looked at the Third Elder and said, "Third Elder, we are guards of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, with the mission and duty to protect it. Now that the association is in trouble, we are duty-bound to protect its dignity, even if it means sacrificing our lives. So we are willing to follow the Third Elder’s command!"
A flash of joy appeared in the Third Elder’s eyes as he turned to look at the Fifth Elder. The two exchanged glances and nodded.
Then the Third Elder directly addressed the crowd, saying, "Since everyone trusts me, I’ll make a promise here. Don’t worry, you won’t be in danger. What we need to do next is just distraction and harassment of Chen Feng from the side, not fighting him to the death. The main battle remains Yang Zhen’s battlefield, so after our actions, we’ll retreat; absolutely no prolonged engagements. As long as you can ensure this, I guarantee your safety!"
