Chapter 319 - Sage Kang's Greater Good

"Oh no!"

"The Invincible Fist Sage is in danger!"

Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji had been on tenterhooks the entire time. They really hoped that the Invincible Fist Sage could defeat Sage Batai.

But now, Sage Batai had shamelessly used the Guardian of the League of Guardians to deal the Invincible Fist Sage a fatal blow.

Even if they were not Sages, they could tell that if the Invincible Fist Sage was struck, he would be severely injured, if not dead.

"Stop!"

Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats, a figure quickly flashed past in the distance. He was very fast. When his voice sounded, he was still in the distance. However, before his voice fell, he had already arrived in front of the Invincible Fist Sage.

Boom.

The heavy wave slammed towards the Invincible Fist Sage, with a wave of the hand of the mysterious figure, a storm formed in the sky, immediately holding the heavy wave at bay.

"Sage Kang?"

When Sage Batai saw who it was, his expression changed slightly.

"It's Sage Kang!"

"Now that Sage Kang is here, he might be able to end the battle between the two Sages."

Seeing that it was Sage Kang, many martial artists could not help but cheer.

Among the Nine Sages, perhaps Sage Kang was not the strongest, but his reputation was the greatest. He was the first human Sage to undergo four life transitions, and was known as The Pioneer.

He had made many major contributions to humanity. It could be said that he was wholly dedicated to humanity.

"Elder Kang, you came at the right time. Join forces with me to kill Batai!"

The Invincible Fist Sage's eyes were bloodshot, and his killing intent towards Sage Batai did not decrease at all.

Batai's eyes narrowed slightly. He said in a low voice, "Elder Kang, you want to attack me too?"

Sage Kang glanced at the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Batai. In the end, he shook his head and said, "I don't want a battle between Sages to break out, because that will cause a civil war among humans. No matter which of you is injured, it will be a major loss to humanity. We have already lost Sage Lin Feng. We can't lose another Sage!"

Batai heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of Sage Kang, if Sage Kang was determined to join forces with the Invincible Fist Sage, he would probably be in trouble as well.

However, since Sage Kang was concerned about the greater good of humanity, Sage Batai was no longer worried.

"That's right. We're all Sages, pillars of humanity! Although I'm a little domineering, I just want to seize the initiative. Moreover, I've already made concessions. The League of Guardians no longer has a Sage presiding over it, and it still possesses so many resources. This in itself is unfair and does not benefit the development of humanity."

"Shameless!" The Invincible Fist Sage sneered.

"Invincible, everyone knows about your relationship with Lin Feng. I won't argue with you. Sage Lin Feng is indeed a hero of humanity, but I'm probably not the only one interested in some of his secrets, right? Since he's no longer around, there's no need for his League of Guardians to exist. If the Nine Sages can study his secrets and gain something, wouldn't that be the greatest contribution to humanity?"

"Is that so? Sage Batai, why don't you contribute everything from your consortium faction? For the sake of humanity, right?"

The Invincible Fist Sage did not listen to Sage Batai's excuses at all.

"Invincible, you're being unreasonable. I can swear here and now that if anything happens to me one day, the consortium faction will be for all of you to divide. How about that?"

"Hmph, do you think everyone is as selfish as you? You won't care about what happens after you are dead. Lin Feng's fiancée is still in the League of Guardians, and the robot with the combat power of Sages belongs to it. Why can't the League of Guardians stand?"

"Speaking of selfishness, Invincible, is your academic faction not selfish? Hmph, how many resources do the three Sages of your academic faction possess? Normally, Sage Kang doesn't hold it against your academic faction for the sake of the greater good. Do you really think our consortium faction is afraid of you?"

Sage Batai and the Invincible Sage had completely fallen out with each other. Moreover, the conflict involved the consortium faction and the academic faction.

Once the five major factions were divided in their values, and each factor acted for itself, it would be a disaster for the entire human race.

"Enough! If there is anything, we'll convene a Conference of Sages and let the Conference of Sages resolve it!"

Sage Kang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This matter ends here, Batai. Don't be demanding after already gaining the advantage. You can keep the robot with the combat power of a Sage for now. As for the League of Guardians, it will be decided by the Conference of Sages."

"No, he can't take the robot either!"

The Invincible Fist Sage glared at Sage Batai.

Batai was a little dissatisfied. After all, he still wanted to search the League of Guardians and see if Lin Feng had placed some secrets there.

Unfortunately, the Invincible Fist Sage intercepted him.

Now that Sage Kang was here, it was already a huge gain for Batai to obtain a robot with the combat power of a Sage. He had even vaguely become the top among the Nine Sages.

Hence, he went along with Sage Kang's words and said, "All right, everything will be decided by the Conference of Sages."

Thus, Sage Batai left the League of Guardians with the Guardian.

Looking at Sage Batai's slowly departing figure, the Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Invincible, let this matter end here."

Sage Kang heaved a long sigh.

The Invincible Fist Sage looked at Sage Kang coldly and said expressionlessly, "Sage Kang, I won't be sending you off!"

Met with the coldness and aloofness in the Invincible Fist Sage's tone, Sage Kang opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end.

He felt very guilty about this matter!

However, for the sake of the greater good, he did not want a war between Sages, let alone see the intrinsic order of humanity collapse and lead to a civil war. He could only choose to make concessions to keep the peace.

It was despite the fact that he also did not agree with Sage Batai's actions, and it was all thanks to him that Lin Feng became a Sage back then.

For the sake of the "greater good" in his heart, Sage Kang chose to let down Sage Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage. He also knew that after today, the Nine Sages would probably never be as harmonious as before.

However, at this point, Sage Kang only hoped to maintain the harmony between Sages on the surface. Humanity could not withstand the ravages of a civil war anymore!

"I will hold the Conference of Sages as soon as possible to decide the ownership of the League of Guardians."

With that, Sage Kang left on the airship.

As the Invincible Fist Sage looked at Sage Kang's departing figure, a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes as well. However, he immediately took a deep breath, and his gaze grew firm again as he flew directly towards the League of Guardians Headquarters.

"Qu Chen, you can all come out now."

The Invincible Fist Sage came to the League of Guardians Headquarters and shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, the League of Guardians Headquarters had already been reduced to rubble. Only a few buildings were intact. The aftershock of the battle between Sages just now had even killed a few Metamorphic Realm martial artists by accident.

Crunch.

On the ground, a hidden cave slowly opened. Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji quickly walked out of the cave.

"Lord Sage, is Lin Feng really…"

There was still a trace of hope on Qu Chen's face. She wanted to hear the Invincible Fist Sage's answer with her own ears.
