Chapter 238 - Human Predicament!
The three of them moved quickly.
Soon, they approached the headquarters of the Human Wartime Alliance.
On the way, Li Peng also briefly introduced the situation in the alliance to Chu Feng.
To deal with the invasion of the Abyssal Demons, the humans of this era were unprecedentedly united.
All countries worked together to share resources, information, and combat power!
To better coordinate it, the alliance formed a supreme leadership body.
The Alliance Council!
The leader of the Dragon Group, Hou Wudi, became the First Councilor!
Ares, the First Light Bringer of the Holy Church of Light, was the Second Councilor.
Quade, the leader of the Order of Apocalypse, served as the Third Councilor.
Tyler, president of the Society of Hermits, served as Fourth Councilor.
At the beginning of its establishment, there were 11 ordinary councilor.
But after two peak-level battles, there were only nine councilors left.
Speaking of which.
Li Peng's expression darkened. He paused before continuing.
"The Fifth Light Envoy, Crowe, and Hermit Pucci— the two older Heavenly Masters, died tragically at the hands of the demons. Not even their corpses were left!"
"The difference in strength between us human Heavenly Masters and the Demon Kings is still too great. We're not strong enough. We can't even snatch back the corpses of our seniors! I hate it!"
"We know that the so-called Prodigy Battlefield and the Peak Battlefield are all tricks by the demons to exhaust our strength! But humans have no choice! We need time more than the demons…"
"On the Peak Battlefield, we are no match for the demons, so we can only fight with our lives on the Prodigy Battlefield!"
"If you kill our seniors, I'll kill your genius juniors ten or a hundred times over! Even if I have to risk my life, I'll take one with me before I leave! After all, if I don't risk my life, there's no hope for humanity…"
"Hehe, perhaps this is the reason why human geniuses improve so quickly. Because we have no choice."
At this point, Li Peng could not help but laugh at himself.
The advancement of human geniuses was not because of their talent, but because they were forced by the enemy. How ironic was that!
Chu Feng's chest heaved and his eyes turned cold.
But he said nothing.
Taking a deep breath.
"Take me to them. Time to stand, human beings."
Li Peng did not understand what Chu Feng meant.
But he still obediently led the way.
They passed through the heavily guarded gate.
Far away.
Chu Feng heard intense arguments coming from the conference hall.
"I can't take it anymore! Let me go to the next Peak Battlefield! I'm a high-level Heavenly Master after all. Even if I die, I'm confident that I can pull my opponent to hell with me!"
Horse Commander Quade, Third Councilor of the Alliance, snarled angrily.
He was the most short-tempered one, and he could not stand the oppressive atmosphere anymore.
But just as he finished speaking…
Another thick, scolding voice sounded.
"Bullsh*t! Quade, get your ass back here and sit down!"
Ares, the First Light Bringer, became angry. He shot to his feet.
"Aren't you disappointing Crowe and Pucci down by disregarding the bigger picture?!"
"The two of them volunteered to die in order to preserve the highest possible high-level combat power of humanity!
"So what if you kill a high-level super A?! That demon lord probably can't wait for you to do this!
"There are nearly 50 super A-rank demons and more than 10 high-level super A-rank demons! Not to mention, there are even stronger existences! How many can you kill?"
"Can't you see it now?! Why haven't they sent out their strongest Demon Kings? They just want to give us some hope and let us think that we have a chance to win. Then, they will send out experts to fight them!
"When our human race's peak strength is exhausted to a certain extent and we can't destroy them with our lives, it will be the time for the demons to invade and enslave the entire human race!"
"You are happy! But have you thought about the consequences!"
Ares snarled in rage.
Crowe had been his mentor.
He was also the old man in the suit who had argued with Quade about which path humans should take.
But the teacher was already gone.
The first human Heavenly Master who willingly went to the Peak Battlefield and sacrificed himself!
He had used his life to tell the humans to persevere!
Only when the clouds opened can the moon be seen!
Therefore, Ares would never allow anyone to go against his teacher's will!
This was also the consensus of all the human upper echelons!
Hou Wudi, who was sitting at the head of the table, was expressionless, but he also comforted Quade.
"Quade, you have to understand that you're not just representing yourself at this moment. You have to look at the big picture!"
Quade was left speechless. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he gritted his teeth and sat down.
He did not hate Ares.
He was indignant!
In his opinion, what was the difference between that and a slow death?
Who knew when the human geniuses would truly grow up?
It was all a gamble…
Then why not give it a try!
However, he also knew that if they were to fight now, the chances of humans winning were too small. It was almost a sure defeat!
If this dragged on, there might be a miracle.
However, he felt aggrieved!
At this moment, the conference room was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, the guard opened the door and reported.
"Seniors, Li Peng, Li Ya, and Chu Feng are waiting outside the door. Should we let them in?"
At the guard's words, before anyone else could speak.
In the corner of the conference room, Sister Hong, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.
Her eyes were filled with surprise.
Uncertainly, she asked again.
"Did you just say Chu Feng?!"
The guard nodded again to confirm.
Before anyone could speak, Sister Hong pushed open the conference room door and walked out.
She was going to welcome Chu Feng.
Behind him, Ye Qingtian's face was also filled with joy as he smacked his lips.

"Haha, that kid finally didn't forget to come back! Old Quade, don't be anxious. Look, humans might have a chance now! This kid can always surprise people!"
Quade still looked uncomfortable, but there was anticipation in his eyes.
He had also heard of Chu Feng's deeds.
As a C-rank, he could kill a Heavenly Master's phantom!
He had to admit that he was a monster.
He spoke sullenly.
"I hope so! But everyone knows the current situation. Even if he has already broken through to Grade A+, he won't be able to turn the tide. What humans need is the rise of all geniuses!"
"Haha, no matter what, it's a good thing for humans to have another Grade A+!"
Ye Qingtian replied nonchalantly.
No one argued with that.
No one would think that Chu Feng could not even reach Grade A+.
Even his subordinates back then now had the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
If Chu Feng could not even reach Grade A+, that would be the biggest joke in the world.
"Let's go and greet him too."
Hou Wudi smiled faintly.
The collective welcome was equivalent to treating Chu Feng as a martial artist of their level.
But no one refused.
He got up quickly.
They walked out of the conference room.
In the simple, wide hall.
Chu Feng was chatting with Li Peng and Li Ya with a faint smile.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a graceful figure walking over quickly.
He felt the wind before she arrived.
Chu Feng turned around and looked at the graceful and valiant figure walking towards him.
He couldn't help but smile.
Sister Hong in the eyes of the Hua Xia people.
The red devil in the enemy's mouth.
A Heavenly Master powerhouse who had dedicated her entire life to Hua Xia and was willing to devote her life to Hua Xia!
She was also the senior Chu Feng respected the most!
None could compare to her!
