Chapter 1617: Chapter 1616: All or Nothing!
Qin Feng’s statement shocked everyone.
Everyone was also stunned.
With what he said, it seems that Wanxing Sect has indeed not searched for the Dragon Root over the past ten thousand years!
"Do you mean that the Dragon Root might be in Wanxing Sect?"
Hall Master Luo Jinhong asked.
"That’s right."
Qin Feng nodded and said, "The Dragon Root is right in Wanxing Sect! So, we don’t need to go head-to-head with the Demon Suppression Hall, let’s just go and find the Dragon Root."
"No way!"
At this moment, someone in the crowd spoke up in opposition, saying, "I think it’s impossible for it to be in Wanxing Sect. If it were there, why after ten thousand years, hasn’t Wanxing Sect used the Dragon Root to obtain the power to reshape their physical body?"
"Indeed, it makes sense. We’ve all heard that the power contained in the Dragon Root is very strong. Logically, Wanxing Sect should have reshaped their physical body through the Dragon Root long ago; it’s impossible that there’s been no movement for ten thousand years."
Others also started to murmur.
The number of people agreeing with this viewpoint increased.
Luo Jinhong then raised his hand, quieted everyone, and continued to look at Qin Feng, saying, "Are you really certain?"
"Of course!"
Qin Feng shrugged.
The others saw the situation and began to persuade.
"Hall Master, we absolutely cannot easily trust an outsider!"
"Yes, we can’t even deal with the Heavenly Destiny Sect, we absolutely can’t provoke Wanxing Sect!"
"That guy clearly wants to put us into a deathtrap!"
"..."
Luo Hongyan directly raised her hand again, silencing the crowd.
For reasons unknown.
Though it was her first time meeting Qin Feng, though Qin Feng was an outsider, though what he said sounded unbelievable, she inexplicably trusted Qin Feng.
"Do you mean we should charge into Wanxing Sect?" Her eyes looked at Qin Feng, "Then are you aware that after our battle with the Heavenly Destiny Sect, we’re completely no match for Wanxing Sect, especially Emperor Wujian, who can be called the strongest in Yun Mountain."
Qin Feng was surprised by this.
Unexpectedly, the Hall Master of the Demon Suppression Hall also feared Emperor Wujian a bit.
It seems we can’t blame the Left Arm Qilin for being timid.
Emperor Wujian should indeed have some skills.
This should also be the reason why Wanxing Sect can maintain the balance among the three forces.
"Rest assured."
Qin Feng continued, "I found the hiding place of their ’Dragon Root’, not in Wanxing Sect’s headquarters. They have a tunnel that connects to the location of the Dragon Root, we just need to find that place. But right now, there are two problems."
"What problems?"
Luo Jinhong disregarded the opposition and continued asking Qin Feng.
"First, I reached their tunnel with Divine Sense, but also caught their attention. If nothing unexpected happens, although the Dragon Root isn’t in their headquarters, they might set up defenses."
"Therefore, our chances are limited, we can only take the gamble and catch them off guard."
Qin Feng said.
Luo Jinhong heard and asked, "Do you mean we should all go over?"
"If you have confidence, of course, there’s no need, but given the current situation, I suggest we take the gamble." Qin Feng said.
After he finished speaking, another group of people began to argue in opposition.
The silver-haired elder urgently said, "Hall Master! By no means should you believe his rumors! We absolutely cannot leave Fumo Mountain, we have our Mountain Protection Array here, we can still hold for a bit. Once we leave, given our current situation, the Wanxing Sect could wipe us out even without the Heavenly Destiny Sect taking action!"
"Yes, Hall Master, if we listen to him, we’ll have no way back!!"
"..."
Qin Feng, standing aside, shrugged speechlessly, "You talk as if you have a way back now."
"Impudent!!"
The silver-haired elder roared angrily.
But after scolding, he was at a loss for words.
It seems to be true.
There’s no shelter nor can they surrender. Although Fumo Mountain has a Mountain Protection Array, it can’t withstand the tidal attacks of the Heavenly Destiny Sect.
Staying is also death.
This time, another elder shouted, "But even if we find the Dragon Root, what then? Earlier you implied that Wanxing Sect found the Dragon Root ten thousand years ago, it might be because the Dragon Root is confined somehow, which is why they have been busy with breaking the confinement for all these years. If we really find it, given our current situation, we also won’t be able to break it! It’s essentially useless!"
"Makes sense!"
Others chimed in, "Wanxing Sect has Emperor Wujian, and if they haven’t broken the confinement after spending ten thousand years, we’ve already lost most of our combat power to the Heavenly Destiny Sect, making it even more impossible!"
"Right, it’s all futile!"
"..."
The crowd started to chatter noisily.
Qin Feng interrupted them and said, "The second problem I mentioned is just this."
"Since you agree it’s impossible, why still propose going to Wanxing Sect?" Luo Jinhong asked again.
All the elders chimed in, "Yeah, you clearly just want us to die!"
Qin Feng ignored them and looked at Luo Jinhong, saying, "Based on my speculation, the Dragon Root is actually about to be acquired soon."
"Why?" Luo Jinhong asked.
"Think about it, with the current power of the Heavenly Destiny Sect, annihilating your Demon Suppression Hall is not an issue, and simultaneously wiping out Wanxing Sect is equally not an issue, yet Wanxing Sect still chooses to maintain ’neutrality’ and doesn’t unite with your Demon Suppression Hall, why?" Qin Feng retorted.
Luo Jinhong pondered for a moment and said, "Do you mean that the confinement is about to be broken, so Wanxing Sect doesn’t care if the Heavenly Destiny Sect exterminates us first?"
"That’s right!"
Qin Feng continued, "Based on the current strength comparison, the Heavenly Destiny Sect can slaughter your Demon Suppression Hall within three days, then go after Wanxing Sect to unite Yun Mountain. I believe Wanxing Sect is well aware of this fact, so they estimate the time to break the confinement is roughly about three days."
"But, three days! Even if we have the Dragon Root, how can we withstand the Heavenly Destiny Sect’s attack in those three days?"
The silver-haired elder again spoke.
"The problem I mentioned, exactly lies here." Qin Feng said, "To break the confinement requires tremendous power, wanting to quickly break it is even more difficult, requiring even greater strength. So hopefully, you all could put forth all your power by then, only then it’s possible to break the confinement ahead of time!"
"..."
The crowd heard this and remained skeptical.
The silver-haired elder smirked and said, "It’s all just your speculation, since it needs immense power to break quickly, then Emperor Wujian whose strength in Yun Mountain surpasses all, why doesn’t he break it ahead?"
"Exactly, you’re just daydreaming!"
"..."
Qin Feng still ignored them and continued, "That’s because Emperor Wujian has you all as cannon fodder in the front, so there’s no need for him to exhaust his own power."
"What?!!"
"Did you call us cannon fodder?!!"
"Kid, are you looking for death?!!"
"..."
