#4089 - The saints who operate behind the scenes!
An improper move in a situation like this could lead to unforeseen complications...
Liang Feng is a Sage, not a puppet to be manipulated at will.
If things escalate beyond control, we might be the ones to suffer.
Stabilizing Liang Feng and getting her into the Great Desolation is the real issue.
"Liang Feng, what are you hesitating about? You lost the draw, are you thinking of going back on your word? Let me tell you, you absolutely can't do that! If you do, things will get serious! You can't just go back on your word as a Sage, you must be mindful of your reputation. It's not good to casually break agreements."
"Besides, we have the treasures we crafted together, what are you afraid of! Why are you such a coward! Go to the Great Desolation and do what you're supposed to do, don't think about other nonsense. With all of us guarding the Chaos God Clan headquarters, nothing will go wrong. You just need to make sure nothing goes wrong in the Great Desolation either."
"Exactly, this was a collective decision. Your current behavior after the draw is disappointing. If you don't want your faction targeted, you better fulfill our agreement now. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll regret it."
"Hmph, Liang Feng, I know you're smart. As a smart person, do what smart people should do. Don't be so short-sighted, it will only hinder you. Many unexpected things have happened in the Great Desolation, but they're not as dangerous as you think."
......
Liang Feng watched her former colleagues mock and ridicule her with veiled sarcasm.
She understood their intentions.
They were just afraid of getting unlucky.
If she were alone, she would never agree to this arrangement.
But she wasn't, which made things difficult.
She had to abide by the agreement.
If she didn't, Liang Feng believed her former colleagues would do everything possible to target the interests behind her.
That would be troublesome.
Everything she had worked for would be for nothing.
Despite her reluctance, Liang Feng ultimately chose to descend into the Great Desolation...
Besides, she held a glimmer of hope.
What if nothing unexpected happened?
Wouldn't she be able to replace Saintess Nine Heavens Phoenix, which would greatly benefit her?
As the saying goes, no one gets up early without a profit...
The great risk would naturally bring great rewards if she could overcome it.
Many Sages of the Chaos God Clan breathed a sigh of relief after Liang Feng left.
They exchanged glances, many with knowing smiles.
The draw seemed fair, but in reality...
It was just a scheme orchestrated by a group of them.
More precisely, it was a scheme targeting Sage Liang Feng.
Had Sage Liang Feng offended them? Of course not!
Even if she had, it wouldn't be enough to make so many of them join forces.
They did this for one reason.
Instead of randomly sacrificing a Sage, they decided to work together and choose a 'lucky' one.
That way... everyone else would be safe.
The only difficulty was how to hide it from Sage Liang Feng so she wouldn't find out.
If it were just one or two people, there would be loopholes.
But with so many ancient beings working together, it was flawless.
It was normal that Sage Liang Feng couldn't see through it.
How could one person fight against so many Sages?
Thinking of Sage Liang Feng's reluctance when she left, many Sages laughed.
They weren't very interested in what Sage Liang Feng did in the Great Desolation...
To put it bluntly, even if Liang Feng really replaced Nine Heavens Phoenix, so what?
The risk she was taking was too high.
So high that no one even wanted to be jealous...
They needed someone to carry out the mission.
What happened to that person in the future wasn't important.
There would be plenty of ways to resolve conflicts of interest in the future.
Why take such a dangerous path to gain benefits that weren't proportional to the risk?
"I just hope Sage Liang Feng doesn't find out we schemed to trap her. If she does, I really don't know how I'll face her in the future. Our cooperation was pretty seamless, I don't think she'll realize we worked together to deceive her."
"Hmph, even if she does, what can she do against so many of us? If she recklessly violates our agreement, we'll make her regret it. It's good that she can see how things are developing, she's not too stupid."
"I'm wondering if we're being a little too much. The interests behind Sage Liang Feng aren't insignificant. If word gets out that we're doing this in secret, it'll be a big blow to our prestige within the clan. I hope you all can understand this to avoid negative consequences."
"You say negative consequences? What does that have to do with us? If Liang Feng really falls in the Great Desolation, do you think her so-called supporters will defend her? They'll be too busy saving themselves. So don't worry about that. The only problem is that we might need to worry about our reputation."
......
Speaking of their reputation.
These old Chaos God Clan fogeys smiled knowingly.
It's no exaggeration to say that if they had any sense of honor, they wouldn't have survived to this day.
Over the years, all the honorable experts have fallen, leaving only them alive!
What if their prestige is damaged?
As long as they have power, everything they do is right.
Anyone who dares to criticize...
Will face the wrath of the strong.
In the world of cultivators, the most common fate for the weak facing the wrath of the strong is to fall.
Obviously, these old guys who have lived for countless years will never show mercy.
What is mercy? It's digging a pit for your future!
