Chapter 320 - Qu Chen's Tenacity

The Invincible Fist Sage looked at Qu Chen, who had an expectant expression on her face. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

In the end, he was the one who started this matter. However, he was still alive, while Lin Feng was dead.

"Lin Feng is dead. I saw it with my own eyes."

The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth. He could not lie to Qu Chen, or he would feel even more uneasy.

The "truth" coming from the Invincible Fist Sage was so cruel. Qu Chen's face was pale, but she could not even form a word.

Zhang Qiji also bit his lip tightly, but he said indignantly, "Lord Invincible Fist Sage, you must uphold justice for our League of Guardians! Brother Feng is a dignified Sage and a hero of humanity. How can he still receive such treatment after his death?"

A trace of coldness flashed across the Invincible Fist Sage's eyes. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't let Sage Batai touch a single hair on the League of Guardians!"

At this moment, Qu Chen also said firmly, "Lord Invincible Fist Sage, the League of Guardians must be defended. This is Lin Feng's hard work! We are counting on you!"

Qu Chen even bowed formally to the Invincible Fist Sage. Now, only the Invincible Fist Sage could help them.

As for the Guardian that had already been taken by Sage Batai by force, Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji had completely lost hope over it. They only wanted to defend the League of Guardians.

The Invincible Fist Sage felt incomparably guilty. He gritted his teeth and instantly rose into the air, returning to the airship and disappearing. No matter what, he had to protect Lin Feng's League of Guardians!

After the Invincible Fist Sage left, the League of Guardians Headquarters suddenly became very quiet.

During this period of time, the League of Guardians had been developing rapidly. The number of official members had grown from the previous 63 to 183 in the present.

Apart from the martial artists who died from the aftershock of the battle between the Sages, there were still 179 official members of the League of Guardians.

At this moment, these 179 martial artists had already gathered. They looked at the ruins around the League of Guardians with very complicated gazes.

Sage Lin Feng was dead, and even the League of Guardians had been destroyed. Even the Guardian had been seized by Sage Batai by force. Some martial artists who originally joined with opportunistic motives immediately began having second thoughts.

Although Qu Chen had yet to break the genetic lock, she was not an ingénue. While she was studying alone in the Polar Academy, she had also broadened her horizons.

Seeing the gazes of these martial artists, she understood what they were thinking.

"As you can see, Sage Lin Feng of the League of Guardians has already fallen, and the Guardian has been seized by force. Whether the League of Guardians can continue to exist will depend on the decision of the Conference of Sages. I have the authority of the League of Guardians, so I will make the call. If you wish to leave the League of Guardians, you can apply to leave now. I'll approve it immediately!"

Buzz.

Hearing Qu Chen's words, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.

"Sister-in-law, you can't…"

Zhang Qiji's expression changed slightly. He wanted to stop her, but Qu Chen waved her hand. She had already made the decision!

Normally speaking, once people joined the five major factions or the League of Guardians, they could not leave unless they had done something heinous. Then, the League of Guardians had the right to expel them.

However, it was almost impossible for martial artists to apply to withdraw themselves.

However, Qu Chen had already made an offer. She would let those who wanted to leave go.

Some quick-witted people were immediately tempted. They had come to the League of Guardians for opportunistic reasons, feeling that the League of Guardians had great potential for development. Or perhaps, they were here for Lin Feng in the first place. They felt that Lin Feng was so young, and had great potential in the future, even surpassing Sages.

But now, all of it had fallen apart!

Lin Feng had fallen, becoming the first Sage to fall among humans in decades.

The League of Guardians was also targeted by another Sage. If this went on, how could the League of Guardians keep developing?

They had already lost hope in the League of Guardians. Now that they heard that Qu Chen would allow them to leave the League of Guardians, of course they were overjoyed.

Hence, the first person stepped forward.

"Sorry, I… I apply to leave the League of Guardians!"

The martial artist who walked out first was a Metamorphic Realm martial artist from the first batch to join the League of Guardians.

"You…"

Many people glared at him, but since he already wanted to leave, Qu Chen naturally would not go back on her word.

"All right, I approve it. Now, pack your things and leave the League of Guardians. You are no longer a member of the League of Guardians!" Qu Chen's voice was a little icy.

This martial artist did not have much to pack. Even the League of Guardians had been reduced to rubble. What else did he have to pack?

Hence, after obtaining Qu Chen's approval, he left in a hurry.

Qu Chen had some authority in the League of Guardians, so she could naturally "expel" certain martial artists.

Hence, after the first martial artist left, he was followed by the second, and more. Qu Chen agreed to all of them and immediately removed their names from the League of Guardians.

The number of official members in the League of Guardians decreased from 179 to 108. A total of 71 people left.

"Does anyone else want to leave?"

Qu Chen scanned the remaining crowd. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face.

Lei Sheng! Young Master Lei!

Back then, after the debacle, Lei Sheng still chose to join the League of Guardians. Moreover, it was with Lin Feng's "special approval". He actually did not choose to leave.

Lei Sheng walked out slowly and said firmly, "Since we've chosen to join the League of Guardians, we won't give up so easily. Unless the League of Guardians disbands, we will always be members of the League of Guardians!"

"That's right. We won't leave."

"Back then, it was Sage Lin Feng who agreed to let us join the League of Guardians. We agree with the ideal of the League of Guardians. That was never for opportunistic motives. We won't leave!"

"As long as the League of Guardians isn't dissolved, we will not leave!"

Looking at these passionate martial artists, Qu Chen also nodded to herself. Only the heavens knew how much pressure she had endured just now. The League of Guardians was founded by Lin Feng alone, and was the result of Lin Feng's painstaking effort. If all these members had left, she would also be disappointing Lin Feng.

Fortunately, most of them did not leave. They were the true backbone of the League of Guardians, and trustworthy people!

Qu Chen knew very well that the League of Guardians was experiencing all kinds of difficulties now, and could not afford any more internal discord. Thus, she might as well let those who wanted to leave go. The remaining people were all people who could go through thick and thin with the League of Guardians.

"Lin Feng, I will protect the League of Guardians and your hard work on your behalf!"

Qu Chen looked at the surrounding ruins. She gritted her teeth. She could not crumble now. This might be the only thing she could do for Lin Feng.
