Chapter 114: War Mobilization: A Carnival with Sect Annihilation as the Wager!
The night air was cool like water.
The clamor of the first day of the “Glory Arena” gradually faded away, yet the entire Qingyun Sect was still permeated with an atmosphere of feverish excitement.
Disciples gathered in small groups, discussing the thrilling matches from the day, analyzing the betting odds for tomorrow’s markets. Everyone’s mind was firmly captivated by this novel “game”.
Inside the Main Peak Hall, Chu Feng sat cross-legged.
Before him floated a jade seal emitting a faint golden glow.
This was not a real imperial seal, but rather a concrete manifestation condensed from the Ascension Group’s accumulated fortune and destiny.
With the establishment of the arena system, internal conflicts within the Group had been transformed into an orderly “internal circulation”. The operation of the entire system became more stable, and its fortune naturally surged higher and higher.
Threads of golden fortune continuously dripped down from the jade seal, merging into Chu Feng’s body, washing through his meridians and tempering his dao foundation.
His cultivation had remained at the peak of the Foundation Establishment middle stage for several days already.
At this moment, driven by this massive and pure fortune, the barrier leading to the later stage was visibly dissolving at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
Chu Feng’s heart was calm like still water as he guided this power, preparing for the final breakthrough.
Just then, a transmission jade slip in his robes suddenly grew scorching hot without any warning, emitting an urgent buzzing sound.
He slowly opened his eyes and sent his divine sense into it.
It was Yao Yue.
The jade slip contained only a few short lines, yet they carried an unprecedented gravity and urgency.
“The Heavenheart Holy Land’s ‘Purifiers’ Legion has already been deployed, target: Qingyun Sect. Supreme commander: True Lord Lingxiao, Nascent Soul middle stage.”
“Three thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, thirty Golden Core Elders, three Nascent Soul Elders. The warships will arrive in three days. Leave not a single piece of armor behind. Decide quickly!”
Sect-annihilating calamity!
This terrifying force, more than enough to easily sweep aside any first-rate sect in the Eastern Wasteland, was roaring straight toward Qingyun Sect.
If it were any normal Sect Master, he would likely already be pale as death, utterly at a loss, pondering whether to fight, surrender, or pack up and flee.
However, after reading this message, not only did Chu Feng show no trace of fear, but instead slowly curved his lips into an extremely peculiar smile.
It was the excitement of a hunter finally seeing prey walk into the trap, the anticipation of a chess player who had laid out a shocking grand scheme, waiting only for the final piece to fall.
“Good. Very good.”
He murmured softly, brilliance flashing in his eyes.
“I was just worried that the Group’s brand influence was limited to the surrounding area. You bunch of ‘high-value target clients’ have taken the initiative to deliver yourselves as promotional material.”
“How is this a sect-annihilating calamity? This is clearly performance delivered to our doorstep, ‘angel round’ investors falling from the heavens!”
The next instant, he abruptly stood up, a vast aura surging skyward!
“Boom!”
Under the combined stimulation of his powerful will and the immense external pressure brought by this “sect-annihilating crisis”, the cultivation barrier within his body could no longer hold.
A crisp cracking sound rang out!
Foundation Establishment late stage! It was achieved!
Surging spiritual power rushed through his body, and his divine sense expanded several times over. Every movement of wind and grass throughout the entire Qingyun Sect was now under his control.
“Wu Hao!”
Chu Feng gave a sharp command.
“Here!”
Wu Hao’s figure appeared outside the hall like a ghost.
“Immediately pass down the order. In fifteen minutes, convene the Group’s ‘Anti–Hostile Merger Emergency Strategic Deployment Conference’ at the Main Peak Plaza! All Family Members must attend. Not a single one may be absent!”
“Anti… anti-hostile merger?”
Wu Hao froze for a moment, but still bowed and accepted the order at once.
“Yes!”
Fifteen minutes later, the Main Peak Plaza, which had only just quieted down, once again became crowded with people.
Tens of thousands of disciples were forcibly dragged out from their sleep, from meditation, or even from their excitement while studying tomorrow’s betting markets. Each face carried a trace of confusion and dissatisfaction.
“What’s going on? A meeting in the middle of the night?”
“Exactly. I just calculated that Wang Ermazi on Arena No. 3 has an eighty percent win rate tomorrow. I was about to go all in!”
Just as the crowd buzzed with discussion, Chu Feng’s figure appeared atop the high platform.
He did not waste words, merely waving his hand.
A gigantic light screen unfolded above the plaza.
Displayed on it was precisely the intelligence Yao Yue had sent—the detailed configuration of that suffocating “Purifiers” Legion.
“Nascent Soul middle stage… three thousand Foundation Establishment… my heavens!”
“This is… wiping us out!”
Deathly silence!
Once they clearly saw the contents of the light screen, the entire plaza instantly fell into dead silence. Immediately after came uncontrollable panic.
The confidence that had just been built from rapid increases in strength was instantly ground into dust before this legendary invincible legion.
Many disciples’ faces turned deathly pale, their legs beginning to tremble.
“Scared?”
Chu Feng’s icy voice poured down like a bucket of cold water over everyone’s heads.
“Look at how useless you all are!”
He shouted harshly,
“It’s just a mere ‘Purifiers’ Legion, and you’re already scared stiff? Where’s your ‘wolf mentality’? Where’s that fearless spirit you had in the arena, when you feared neither heaven nor earth?”
“Family Members! All of you lift your heads and look carefully!”
Chu Feng pointed at the light screen, his voice suddenly rising, filled with irresistible bewitching power.
“Who are they? They are the Heavenheart Holy Land! The largest ‘old-school monopoly enterprise’ in the Eastern Wasteland!”
"Who are we? We are the Ascension Group! The most promising, rapidly rising ‘new unicorn’ in the Eastern Wasteland!"
“Now, this old enterprise sees that we’re developing too fast and earning too much. They’re jealous! They’re afraid!”
“So they’ve dispatched their ‘legal department’ and ‘liquidation team’ to carry out a brutal ‘hostile merger’ and ‘forced liquidation’ against us!”
“They’re not here to uphold justice! They’re here to seize our spirit stones and smash our rice bowls!”
“They want to wipe all our hard-earned ‘Ladder Battle Tiers’ back to zero! They want to snatch away the cultivation rooms, the pills, and those gleaming contribution points we just obtained!”
This complete distortion of right and wrong through a “business interpretation” instantly swapped the concept of a terrifying sect-annihilating calamity into a naked “commercial war”!
The fear in the disciples’ eyes gradually gave way to anger and unwillingness.
“Why should they!”
“Snatch our points? I’ll fight them to the death!”
Seeing that the timing was right, Chu Feng curled his lips and threw out his “solution”.
“I announce! To respond to this ‘anti–hostile acquisition war’, the Group will once again issue ‘Sect-Guarding War Bonds’! Anyone who purchases them will receive tenfold returns after the war!”
“At the same time, we are releasing the Group’s highest-level ‘War KPI’ missions!”
“Anyone who kills one enemy Foundation Establishment cultivator in this battle will be rewarded with ten thousand Ladder points and one hundred thousand contribution points!”
“Killing a Golden Core Elder will earn one hundred thousand Ladder points! Immediate promotion to the ‘Glory Gold’ battle tier! And one set of the Group’s ‘internal stock options’!”
“If anyone can capture an enemy high-level leader alive…”
Chu Feng paused, a trace of madness flashing through his eyes.
“They may be directly promoted to the Group’s ‘Honorary Executive’! Sitting with me in the VIP seats and enjoying dividends!”
Boom——!
If the previous speech had ignited the disciples’ anger, then these words directly detonated an entire powder keg!
Fear?
It no longer existed!
The disciples looked at those three thousand “Purifiers” on the light screen, and their gazes completely changed.
Where were those enemies?
They were clearly three thousand walking, glittering “experience gift packs”!
Three thousand super KPIs that could let them soar in a single step and achieve “financial freedom”!
Everyone’s breathing grew heavy, eyes flashing with greedy, bloodthirsty red light.
“Damn it!”
No one knew who roared first.
“Defend the Group! Defend our points!”
“For Glory King! For Honorary Executive! Charge!!”
Tens of thousands of disciples raised their arms and roared. That sky-piercing battle intent, interwoven with greed, even dispersed some of the dark clouds in the night sky.
A war mobilization with sect annihilation as the wager thus transformed into an unprecedented gold-farming carnival!
