Chapter 5901: Two Viewpoints
“Elder Sheng?”
Chu Feng was shocked, let alone those from the Three Saints Monstrous n. He had thought of many different possibilities, but he didn’t think the stalker would be Elder Sheng.
“Elder Sheng, don’t hurt Chu Feng! Even if Chu Xuanyuan didmit a crime, it shouldn’t implicate his son, not to mention that matter might not have anything to do with Chu Xuanyuan in the first ce!” the Three Saints Monstrous n’s n Chief eximed anxiously.
Elder Sheng was taken aback. “n chief, what are you saying?”
“Elder Sheng, I know you have close ties with my father. You’re willing to do anything for him. However, Chu Xuanyuan didn’t do it on purpose. You can’t disregard the contribution he made to our n,” the n chief said.
“You… n chief, do you think that I’m bothered about what happened back then?” Elder Sheng asked.
“Is that… not the case?” the n chief asked.
“I get it now. Your hatred toward Chu Xuanyuan is feigned. You thought that I would me him for failing to breach the formation and losing the sacred treasures, which resulted in your father bing bedridden. Even though I told you I don’t me Chu Xuanyuan, you thought that I might go after Chu Xuanyuan in view of my ties with your father.
“To stop me from making a move, you pretended to hate him so as to stay on close terms with me. The truth is that you have been trying to protect Chu Xuanyuan all along. That exins it. How could you suddenly turn against Chu Xuanyuan when the two of you were so close in the past? It turns out it was all an act!” Elder Shengughed.
This was the oue he hoped to see.
The Three Saints Monstrous n’s n Chief was confused. “Elder Sheng, you aren’t trying to pursue what happened back then?”
“I am on close terms with your father, but I’m not an unreasonable person. Even if Chu Xuanyuan was the one who lost our sacred treasures, that was a risk we, as a n, have chosen to take from the start. Why would I me him?” Elder Sheng replied.
“If it isn’t because of Chu Xuanyuan… Elder Sheng, what are you doing now?” the n chief asked.N?v(el)B\\jnn
“n chief, there’s one thing I’d like to discuss with you,” Elder Sheng said.
“You can just speak your mind. There’s no need to resort to this,” the n chief replied.
“It’s not a trifling matter. It’s about whether our n should leave this ce or not,” Elder Sheng replied.
The n chief finally understood Elder Sheng’s intention. His face turned grim. “Elder Sheng, the Ancient Era’s ns have left their ce of dwelling. Only our Three Saints Monstrous n remain trapped. We enjoyed prosperity in the Ancient Era, but that was built on our ancestor’s efforts. If we want to revitalize the Three Saints Monstrous n, we will have to fight for resources. Otherwise, we’ll be forgotten by the world. Elder Sheng, is that what you hope for?”
Elder Sheng didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to Chu Feng.
“Chu Feng, you told me before we stepped into the spirit formation gate that this is a training ground for our Three Saints Monstrous n. Are you certain of it?” the n chief asked.
“I am certain of it, and the truth will be out very soon,” Chu Feng replied.
Based on what he deciphered thus far, the truth would be revealed once someone epted the sacred temple’s energy and legacy.
Elder Sheng looked at the Three Saints Monstrous n’s n Chief and said, “Actually, there’s no need for that. We have deduced as much from our records. This isn’t our true legacynd. That’s why we have been trying to figure out what happened after the Ancient Era and why our ancestors brought us here.
“Until we figure out the truth behind what happened back then and figure out how strong the other powers are, we’d be exposing our nsmen to danger if we remove the protective barrier. As much as the protective barrier locks us in, it also keeps outsiders at bay. I don’t think it’s wise to remove it just yet.”
The n chief thought about those words before replying, “Elder Sheng, I understand your concerns, but we can’t lock ourselves in either. That would be equivalent to conceding defeat before the battle even started. We live in a world where the strong prey on the weak. We can’t expect others to spare us out of kindness. This protective formation might protect us for now, but it won’t protect us till the end of time. You and I know that this protective formation won’t help us if a true expert arrives.
“Besides, our Three Saints Monstrous n used to be among the top ten monstrous ns in the Ancient Era. Our ancestors wouldn’t want to see our Three Saints Monstrous n falling into decline either, and I don’t think our people want to live like a frog in a well either.
“Many of our ancestors were trapped here for their entire lives after the Ancient Era, never having the privilege to see the outside world. Can you bear to see Qiutian, Xingyu, and the others guarding this world for their entire life too? I know you’re trying to protect them here, but you should first ask them if that’s what they want first.”
Elder Sheng fell silent.
“Elder Sheng, I’m not afraid of danger. I want to go out and take a look,” Sansheng Qiutian said with determined eyes filled with desire for the outside world.
“Elder Sheng, I concur with Qiutian.” Sansheng Xingyu looked at Elder Sheng with the same eyes as Sansheng Qiutian.
A belief that Elder Sheng had held on to for the longest time shattered, and his mind went nk. He was doing this with the nsmen’s safety in mind, but there was no point doing it if that was not what they wanted.
“Ey!” Elder Sheng suddenly sighed.
The oppressive might enveloping Chu Feng and the others dissipated.
“I apologize for my insubordination. n chief, please punish me,” Elder Sheng said as he dropped to his knees.
However, the Three Saints Monstrous n’s n Chief stepped forward to support him, saying, “Elder Sheng, you watched me grow up. You’re an elder to me, not a subordinate. We have our differences, but I know you have our n’s welfare at heart. I’ll seek our nsmen’s opinion before making a move. I won’t destroy the formation if the majority decides to stay here.”
“It looks like I was overthinking it.” Elder Sheng sighed.
