Chapter 931 - Rampage (2/2)
Priest Longmai also added, “That’s right. Sir, we can just firmly defend ourselves in the Sacred White Crevice. This is a small world that is isolated from the outside world. They won’t be able to fight their way in so easily. Moreover, as long as the members of our White Army stay in the Sacred White Crevice, they can unleash powers that are stronger than usual.”
Hearing that, Fang Xingjian merely smiled and did not reply immediately. Instead, he raised his head. There seemed to be a strange gleam in his eyes. It was as if he had seen through void space and was looking into a space-time in the endless distance.
A very long while later, he nodded. “So this is how it is.”
Priest Longmai and Priest Tie exchanged a glance, feeling that Fang Xingjian’s actions had become increasingly deep and unfathomable.
Fang Xingjian seemed to have understood something. He then turned and looked at Priest Longmai, saying, “Since that’s the case, you can give them my reply.”
…
Simultaneously, news of the nine armies having joined forces to exert pressure and request for the White Army to be completely reformed—with the Commander heading to the Heaven-Connecting Tower within three days for a joint trial—had instantly spread through the entire planet.
Numerous news and internet media started to report this matter.
The gazes of countless people were turned toward East Asia’s Kun Lun Mountains as they guessed how the White Army would react.
“Surrendering is the only option!”
Inside the live broadcast studio of Hot Topics—the television program with the highest ratings in North America—Professor Lauretta who had a head of silver hair said without hesitation, “No one in the world can fight against the joint efforts of the nine armies. If the White Army wishes to continue passing down its legacy, they have no other way out except to surrender.
A Caucasian professor opposite her shook his head and said, “This might not necessarily be the case. The White Army’s legacy has been passed on for very long, and they have always been pursuing Dao. Almost none of them are afraid of death. If Fang Xingjian is bent on hiding in the Sacred White Crevice, then the nine armies may not have any way to deal with him either. As time passes, the nine armies will each harbor their own thoughts. It’s impossible for them to keep on joining forces.”
“Rubbish. Even such id*ots are allowed on Hot Topics these days?” Professor Lauretta retorted, “The White Army has always been at the very bottom of the 13 armies. Even if Fang Xingjian can defeat two Commanders single-handedly, is it possible that he can go up against nine Commanders? Moreover, you haven’t really understood the essence of this matter.”
That Caucasian professor said angrily, “This is sophistry! The 13 armies are like kindred souls, and it’s impossible for them to really fight to the bitter death…”
“I express worry for the education of the next generation of this country when even a person like you can become a professor,” Professor Lauretta interrupted, not giving the other party any chance to speak. “The crux of this matter is that Fang Xingjian has violated the regulations and killed members of the Gray Army.
“The One-Three Agreement is ironclad. It’s the baseline. It’s the foundation for the 13 armies to be united and fight against external enemies together.
“It might sound like Fang Xingjian is currently causing internal strife, but he’s actually shaking the foundations of the entire planet and the whole of humanity. What he’s doing now is going against humanity, against society, and destroying the entire planet’s stability and unity.
“Faced with such a situation, the nine armies will definitely not cower. Although the Silver and Gold Armies have yet to express their stances, they’ve already given their silent consent by not saying anything.
“The White Army and Fang Xingjian have no option other than to lower their heads. Otherwise, he’ll be the enemy of all of humanity!”
After Professor Lauretta said her piece, rounds of applause rang out in the studio. The voices of a few professors and experts who wanted to rebut were suppressed.
