Chapter 772: Chapter 771 That Damn Scumbag
Ning Shucheng’s question plunged Qin Yanyang into silence.
Concerning the threat from the Hidden Sect, Qin Yanyang had always taken it very seriously and had continuously endeavored to find ways to address and resolve it.
Take Yunwu Mountain’s Base, for example.
Originally, she thought she still had time; if only she were given a bit more time, she could transform the Military Department into a formidable armed force capable of contending with the teams of cultivators from the three major cultivation locations.
But now, not only had the Hidden Sect suddenly made a move, but Heaven and Penglai had also massively entered the fray.
What’s worse, the man in whom she had placed great hopes had betrayed her, leading to her complete disappointment.
Although Divine Continent, along with several other powerful nations around the world, had developed specialized weapons against formidable martial artists, there were significant restrictions on the use of these weapons.
When those super martial arts powerhouses were scattered around the world, not surrounded, those high-tech weapons were ineffective.
The sudden strikes by the Zhuge family and the Duanmu family among others demonstrated that modern weapons posed little threat to those highly powerful super-elite fighters.
Especially once all the powerful martial artists of the Hidden Sect had emerged, they were like deities to ordinary people.
Based on her current realm, Qin Yanyang could easily assess how powerful the super-elite fighters from the Hidden Sect, Heaven, and Penglai were.
If she were to focus solely on causing destruction, there would be very few across the entire Divine Continent who could stop her.
If her destruction targeted common people, then it would be a catastrophic disaster for them.
So now, when Ning Shucheng asked her if there was a way to withstand the revenge of the Hidden Sect forces, Qin Yanyang fell silent.
Seeing her silence, Ning Shucheng felt a wave of disappointment but also harbored a feeling that this was to be expected.
"The genetic liquid medicine at Yunwu Mountain’s Base indeed represents our hope against the three major cultivation lands, but it seems we might be running out of time," Ning Shucheng broke the silence.
Qin Yanyang slowly nodded her head, glanced at him, and smiled, "I forgot to congratulate you, Uncle Ning."
Ning Shucheng knew what she meant by the congratulations and slowly shook his head, "If it were before, I would have been proud and thought that stepping into the Innate Realm was a matter worthy of celebration. But now, when I see countless Divine Travel Realm experts who can exterminate Innate Realm experts with a mere thought, I realize I’m still just an ant.
What’s more, I’m so much older than you, yet you entered the Innate Realm before I did, and a lot of that is thanks to the genetic liquid medicine you provided. Now, your congratulations make me feel ashamed."
Qin Yanyang chuckled and said, "Uncle Ning, you are too modest. You being able to step into the Innate Realm, and many people in the Military Department also being able to break through that barrier, is enough to prove that our genetic liquid medicine is very powerful.
Most importantly, this stuff can be mass-produced, which can create hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of Innate Realm warriors for our country. Just think, when that time comes, what forces in Divine Continent could possibly threaten us?"
Ning Shucheng and Ning Zhongze were both deeply moved and nodded slowly.
Indeed, the greatest advantage of the genetic liquid medicine was its ability to be mass-produced.
And Divine Continent Country had no small number of basic martial artists, especially in the military, where the number of Military Martial Artists was even greater.
As long as these Military Martial Artists could receive massive amounts of genetic liquid medicine for enhancement and improvement, their growth rate would be astonishing.
Plus, equipped with high-tech weapons, the future Divine Continent Military Department could indeed potentially dominate the three major cultivation lands.
"Yes, as you say, our Divine Continent’s future really is filled with hope,"
Ning Shucheng nodded silently, but his tone carried a deep sense of concern, "But there’s no time. Even if Heaven and Penglai don’t act so fast, what about the Hidden Sect? The power of the Hidden Sect will definitely seek revenge on us. If their super-elite fighters gather together for a decapitation strike, then when the time comes, all the top leaders of Divine Continent will bleed."
Ning Zhongze also sighed deeply and said, "Indeed, that’s what we should be most worried about right now."
Ning Shucheng’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, "If... I mean if. If we target those two transmission channels for bombardment, is there a chance that the Hidden Sect Plane World could completely collapse, and all those people from the Hidden Sect World be totally destroyed?"
Qin Yanyang’s pupils contracted slightly, surprised as she looked at Ning Shucheng.
Ning Shucheng did not evade, unreservedly disclosing the crazy idea in his mind as he said to Qin Yanyang, "I am serious."
Qin Yanyang immediately shook her head, "Absolutely not."
"Why?" Ning Shucheng asked.
What Qin Yanyang thought about was that damn scumbag.
He was still inside the Hidden Sect.
No, my opposition to Ning Shucheng doing this is definitely not because of that damn scumbag. I would be happy if he died, so how could I possibly worry about him? I am worried about the millions of innocent lives in the Hidden Sect.
Mais importantly, without the powerful cultivators of the Hidden Sect, how could the Divine Continent defend itself against the invaders from Heaven and Penglai in the future?
"Not to mention whether this could truly eradicate all the Martial Artists of the Hidden Sect. Without the Martial Artists of the Hidden Sect, when the superpowers from Heaven and Penglai launch a dark war, how would we in the Divine Continent respond?" Qin Yanyang said, facing Ning Shucheng’s gaze.
Ning Shucheng gave a bitter smile and nodded, "Yes, we all forgot about the dark war of the last century."
Ning Zhongze sighed, "The Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent complement each other, only by uniting as one can we ensure the continuous legacy of the Divine Continent, recreate its glory. If internal strife occurs, it will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of the Divine Continent. The same principle applies to Heaven in the Western countries and Penglai in Japan."
"The problem is, we don’t want to become puppets of those large aristocratic families of the Hidden Sect, we don’t want this world controlled by them. Thus, intense contradictions and conflicts are inevitable. Now, how should we resolve this contradiction?" Ning Shucheng asked.
Qin Yanyang’s mind once again conjured up the image of that scumbag.
She slightly shook her head, chasing that detestable guy out of her mind, but once she calmed down and sincerely thought about the problem Ning Shucheng had posed, she again thought of Yang Fei.
She sighed silently in her heart.
She had to admit that since the schism occurred, she had carried too much pressure and had always wanted someone to help share this burden, and that person was Yang Fei.
When Ning Shucheng brought up the issue of resolving the Hidden Sect crisis, the first person she thought of was Yang Fei.
For some unknown reason, deep in her heart, she inexplicably felt that Yang Fei could resolve this issue.
But based on the last time she trusted Yang Fei, indirectly also trusting Yang Fei’s grandfather Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Wugou, she believed that she could gain the support of that faction of the Hidden Sect, could start from this aspect to gradually resolve the fundamental contradiction and conflict between the Hidden Sect and the Divine Continent.
But in the end, Yang Fei betrayed their marriage and feelings.
The Duanmu Family also despicably chose to deceive her, even joining hands with the Zhuge family to support the Chu family lineage, almost entirely wiping out the Qin Family.
Therefore, Qin Yanyang felt that she hated Yang Fei and would not trust him again.
However, now, when thinking about the troubling issue of the Hidden Sect, she yet again thought of Yang Fei first.
That damn scumbag might be the key to breaking the situation.
She didn’t even know if he was dead in the Hidden Sect World.
"Achoo... Achoo..."
In the Hidden Sect, not more than ten miles from the old estate of the Langya Wang Family on the official road, Yang Fei, galloping on his horse, suddenly sneezed several times in a row and couldn’t help but rub his nose, muttering to himself, "It must be Tong Yunshu thinking of me at this moment; Qin Yanyang definitely wouldn’t be thinking of me."
Wang Lei beside him couldn’t help but purse his lips and said, "It’s only another ten miles to go, I wonder what the situation is like there."
