Chapter 2447: Chapter 2446: Negotiations Have Broken Down
Ling Feng decided to investigate and understand precisely how the Four Directions Nation entered this world.
This issue is of paramount importance and cannot be overlooked.
Thus, leaving the Ling Yun floating above Paradise Island as a precaution, Ling Feng and his team left the ship and flew towards the depths of the ocean.
Based on conjecture, the people from the Four Directions Nation are unlikely to be far from Paradise Island, because their aim is revenge, making it impractical to settle in some distant location.
Sure enough, after flying for half an hour, a gigantic disk appeared on the seascape before them.
Even from a distance of over ten kilometers, the enormity of the disk was palpable. As the gap closed, its vastness was revealed, nearly rivaling that of Lingyun Island.
Yet, this thing did not appear to be an island, resembling instead an oversized plate.
The disk was a perfect circle, its edges raised to block the waves, with countless colorful tents atop its flat surface.
Clearly, this was the base of the Four Directions Nation.
Before they could approach, a squad of red-clad individuals flew over from afar, blocking their path.
Then, the lead man shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"
"You recognize me, right?"
Ling Feng smiled and continued: "We have our reasons for coming here, but rest assured, it’s not for a fight. Who’s the highest person in charge here? I’d like to talk to them!"
"Your intentions are unclear, you shall not meet our highest officer. Speak to me first," the other party said.
"What? Is your officer that cowardly?" Ling Feng sneered with his question.
"Of course not, but your status does not suffice to meet our officer!" the other answered.
Ling Feng acknowledged with a "Oh," then smiled and said, "So that’s how it is. Fine, let me demonstrate my abilities, then let’s see if I qualify!"
With that, he cast a glance at Mu Mu.
Mu Mu understood immediately and descended to the sea surface.
The red-clad individuals opposite were perplexed, watching her figure in confusion.
By now, the people on that large disk had already spotted Ling Feng and his crew, preparing defenses, doubting that Mu Mu could dare assault hundreds on her own.
Indeed, Mu Mu did not attack. But after reaching the water surface, she suddenly sped up and flew forward!
As her form flashed by, the seawater split suddenly!
An instant fissure formed in the sea!
Tens of thousands of tons of seawater seemed severed by an invisible blade!
The massive disk was greatly affected and began to sway on the surface like a ship in a storm.
The people of the Four Directions Nation were caught off guard and utterly shocked.
Mu Mu returned to Ling Feng, eyes fixed, declaring crisply: "This is a mere warning. If things get serious, I can sink your base to the ocean floor in an instant!"
"..."
The opposition stood stunned, the lead man pondered briefly and said, "Please wait, I will notify the highest officer immediately."
He turned promptly and flew towards that large disk.
But it was unnecessary, for a contingent from the disk had already flown overhead, heading towards them.
As they drew close, the man who had faced off against Ling Feng on Paradise Island said: "You’re here again!"
"I came; surely there’s a matter to address!"
Ling Feng smiled, eyeing the hefty man behind him, asked gravely: "You’re the highest authority here, correct?"
The towering man nodded, flew a few meters forward, and said coolly, "Yes, I’m Huoyu, and who might you be?"
"I’m Ling Feng."
Ling Feng faced him and said, "I’m here to find you, rest assured, it’s not for a fight, but to ask some questions: where are you from and how did you enter this world!"
"Why do you ask?"
Huoyu narrowed his eyes and asked sternly.
"Because it’s important to us!" Ling Feng replied.
"Sorry, it’s crucial to us too, vital enough to be termed life and death, so I cannot disclose it!" Huoyu said.
Ling Feng listened, surprised, questioned, "Life and death? Are you joking?"
"Certainly not!"
Huoyu shook his head, "If I divulged our entry method, what if you invade the Four Directions Nation?"
"I see?"
Ling Feng contemplated briefly, then responded quietly, "That’s a reasonable point!"
He continued, "But rest assured, I seek the answer here instead of going to Paradise Island for a reason; do you know why?"
Huoyu shook his head, "Why?"
"I don’t trust Paradise Island’s Island Master, nor am I pleased with his sending people to massacre your nation!" Ling Feng said.
Huoyu was startled, eyeing Ling Feng thoughtfully, "So, you’re not aligned with them?"
"I’ve said, I’m here to halt conflict, not to aid them against you!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Plus, your returning men should’ve told you, I did not truly harm anyone from your side!"
"Yes, I know."
Huoyu nodded, "While true, I still don’t trust you!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless.
Then he looked at Huoyu, "You’re not withdrawing troops, are you?"
"Correct!"
Huoyu nodded, "The account of Paradise Island’s obliteration cannot go unsettled!"
"Your forces have killed quite a few on Paradise Island already, what will settle the score?" Ling Feng asked.
"Genocide — Paradise Island eradicated — then our grudge would be avenged!" Huoyu said.
Ling Feng listened, speechless, chuckled coldly: "That’s impossible!"
He looked into Huoyu’s eyes: "With me here, your only viable outcome is departure after telling me your entry method!"
"That’s impossible as well!"
Huoyu narrow-eyed, inhaled deeply, "The Four Directions Nation, never yields to negotiation!"
"Alright then, if you insist on demise, I can grant it!"
Ling Feng surmised negotiations were futile, unwilling to waste further words, instructed Mu Mu, "Proceed, annihilate them!"
"Hold on!"
Huoyu suddenly raised his hand, asking sternly, "Ling Feng, are you truly opposing Four Directions Nation?"
"It’s not I opposing you, it’s your threat to this world’s safety, let’s not distort the truth!" Ling Feng said sternly.
