Chapter 1416: Futu’s Opinion

After spending some time with Leng Ruobing, Xiao Zheng left Yunlan Villa directly. He still had many things to do and had no choice.

Xiao Zheng, having left the villa, went straight to the Futu Headquarters. The leader of Futu was quite surprised upon seeing Xiao Zheng’s appearance.

"Why do you look so haggard?"

Xiao Zheng had closed off to heal his wounds, which consumed considerable energy. Although his injuries had healed, he now appeared pale, with an irrepressible fatigue in his expression. However, his eyes were as bright as ever, almost frighteningly so.

"Haha, just a minor issue." Xiao Zheng didn’t elaborate on this matter, but got straight to the point: "What are your thoughts on tomorrow’s sect meeting?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of Futu sat back down and sighed, saying, "Very pessimistic. Based on the current intelligence analysis, this sect meeting might be a preparation for surrender in hopes of peace."

Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes; Futu had Huaxia’s most extensive intelligence channels, and if they reached this conclusion, the accuracy was undoubtedly high.

"What are you planning to do then?" Xiao Zheng asked, looking at the leader of Futu as an inexplicable glint flashed through his eyes.

The leader of Futu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Futu... might not be able to do anything."

"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked solemnly.

This conclusion from the leader of Futu made him feel a faint anger within. Could it be that Futu was going to act like those sanctuaries of martial arts and opt for self-preservation?

"Don’t be angry yet, listen to me," the leader of Futu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Zheng and then smiled bitterly, saying, "There are certainly compelling reasons."

"What reasons?" Xiao Zheng asked expressionless.

The leader of Futu did not directly answer but rather asked a question, "What do you think is the relationship between the Martial Arts World and the secular world?"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, not quite understanding the leader of Futu’s intentions, but he thought for a moment and eventually answered, "Two worlds seem unrelated, with each minding their own affairs, but in reality, the Martial Arts World completely controls the secular world, as the Martial Arts World holds more powerful strength."

"Right, exactly."

The leader of Futu nodded and then asked, "But have you noticed why this control is hidden beneath the surface and not openly manifested? You should know, given the strength of the Martial Arts World, they could easily rule the secular world directly!"

This was a question Xiao Zheng had never contemplated before. Hearing the leader of Futu say it now, standing in the position of the Heavenly Net Master, the leader of such a massive martial arts organization, he thought carefully and understood.

"Because of you."

Xiao Zheng said.

"Correct."

The leader of Futu said solemnly, "Because of us. We, Futu, represent the will of all people in the secular world, and our mission is to protect the secular world from oppression and enslavement by the Martial Arts World."

"Why has Futu always been neither close nor distant with the sanctuaries and various martial arts forces, you should understand by now? Because there is a fundamental conflict between us."

"So, I can’t help you."

"After all, this is a matter of the Martial Arts World, and once I help you, I will be crossing the line, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Xiao Zheng was silent.

"Then why did you help us eradicate the Demon Shield Bureau before?" Xiao Zheng looked up at the leader of Futu with a sharp gaze.

"Because that was an external force." The leader of Futu smiled.

Xiao Zheng was silent again.

He knew the leader of Futu was right.

Futu, as the embodiment of the secular world’s will, inherently conflicted with the Martial Arts World. Forcing intervention in the Martial Arts World’s affairs would bring about extremely dire consequences.

Perhaps, taking this opportunity, the tacit understanding between the Martial Arts World and the secular world would be broken. At that time, the forces of the Martial Arts World would openly dominate the people of the secular world.

Their strength is too weak.

When the Martial Arts World comes like a flood, they won’t be able to resist.

Xiao Zheng smiled subtly, saying, "I’m now curious about how your Futu was formed, why a force inherently based on Martial Arts became the secular world’s representative."

The leader of Futu smiled and said, "That’s a very long and complex story, involving many things: bloodshed, fights, powers that crossed the Martial Saint threshold. The intensity of it might be more fierce than the so-called battle between East and West."

"Crossed the Martial Saint threshold?"

Xiao Zheng keenly noticed these words.

"Yes."

The leader of Futu laughed, "Above Martial Saint, there are realms. Those are the true giants of this world. Their conflicts are often terrifying, lasting decades or centuries, with endless waves."

Xiao Zheng looked intensely at Futu.

Futu waved with a smile, "Don’t look at me; I won’t say more. These things are shocking secrets, better not to know too much."

Seeing the leader of Futu’s firm will, Xiao Zheng felt helpless; after all, he couldn’t force the leader to answer.

What is above Martial Saint?

How strong are these giants hidden beneath the long river of history?

All these hold fatal attractions for Xiao Zheng’s curiosity.

However, now is not the time for these thoughts.

Xiao Zheng stood up, said to the leader of Futu, "I’m leaving now, tomorrow, I will attend the sect meeting."

"What?"

The leader of Futu exclaimed in shock, "You’re going there? That’s where the Four Great Sects are gathering; innumerable experts! You’re strong, but you’re going alone—it will be very dangerous! Don’t you know you’ve now been shaped into a major villain?"

Recalling the recent rumors swirling in the Martial Arts World, saying the East-West battle stemmed from his killing of Heck, with endless condemnation, Xiao Zheng shook his head, disdainful: "Jumping clowns, not worth mentioning, that’s all they can do."

The leader of Futu shook his head, "Don’t underestimate these people. And what can you achieve by going there?"

Xiao Zheng grinned, his teeth gleaming white, "Naturally, to stop them. Not only that, I need the Four Great Sects to form an alliance unanimously against external threats, to drive out the Blood Clan and Werewolves."

The leader of Futu opened his mouth wide in shock. This was nearly impossible; the Four Great Sect Sanctuaries were full of experts with collective wills far beyond what one person could overturn. Even if Xiao Zheng was very strong, compared to such immense power, it was still inadequate.
