Chapter 240 - If Life Is Miserable, Is Death Really Painful?

Sister Hong muttered to herself in a daze.

If her guess was right, it was terrifying!

Unimaginable!

What kind of monster could reach such a level?!

Sister Hong was talking to herself.

Ye Qingtian was extremely anxious.

Why couldn’t he understand a single word!

“Sister Hong, how is it? You said you don’t know, but it’s impossible!”

Sister Hong heaved a sigh of relief.

She forced herself to calm down.

He said in a deep voice, “Why don’t you ask him yourself?”

Chu Feng grinned when he heard that.

He knew that Sister Hong might have guessed something.

But he had no intention of hiding it.

If Quade hadn’t interrupted him just now, he would have explained himself.

Although no one would believe him even if he explained.

It was indeed too unbelievable.

“As I just said, my strength has indeed improved.”

Chu Feng smiled meaningfully.

Sister Hong looked at Chu Feng deeply.

However, her heart was already in turmoil!

With her understanding of Chu Feng, she knew Chu Feng’s words were basically an admission.

The shock in her eyes could not be concealed.

He muttered to himself.

“I knew it. I was right about you—”

She said nothing more.

Sister Hong turned and left.

She needed to digest this shocking news!

She did understand.

The others were still confused!

The two of them seemed to be talking in riddles.

Ye Qingtian was so anxious that he spun around.

Hou Wudi, who had never spoken, inadvertently met with Chu Feng’s gaze.

Looking at the invincible light in Chu Feng’s eyes!

That self-confidence!

His heart lurched.

Coupled with Sister Hong’s reaction, he seemed to understand.

His lips curled up into a smile.

He patted Chu Feng’s shoulder, his eyes filled with joy.

However, he did not say a word and left with Sister Hong.

He spoke softly before he left.

“Come to the meeting room with Ye Qingtian later. You’re qualified to know some things about humans.”

They waited until they were out of earshot.

Ye Qingtian suddenly exclaimed.

“Damn, Boss actually allowed you to attend the high-level meeting!”

“Kid, do you really have Grade A+ combat power?! Otherwise, Boss wouldn’t have specially said that!”

Before Chu Feng could answer, Ye Qingtian said excitedly.

“Haha! I knew it. You can’t be mediocre!”

“With a C-rank body, you can match a Grade A+! Haha, I’ve really learned something new!”

Beside him, Li Peng and Li Ya also looked at Chu Feng in shock.

This news was really terrifying!

However, Chu Feng only smiled faintly when he heard that.

He knew that Ye Qingtian and the others had misunderstood.

Even Hou Wudi had misunderstood.

They should all think that he was only capable of fighting against Grade A+s.

But what they didn’t know was…

In Chu Feng’s eyes, an ordinary Grade A+ was no different from a little chick…

Even a high-level Grade A+ like Quade might not be able to withstand three moves from him…

He could not be bothered to explain further, lest he made things worse.

Following Ye Qingtian, the group walked straight to the meeting room.

Li Peng and his sister also wanted to go in to listen, and Ye Qingtian agreed.

On the way.

Ye Qingtian even took out his communication device to take a look.

He could not help but say to Chu Feng.

“You’re really popular! When those brats at the front line found out that you were back, they swarmed back! It seems that those in the top 20 are all planning to come back to take a look.”

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

“Is Xian’er coming back too?”

Chu Feng did not care if the others returned or not.

Ye Qingtian was speechless.

Still, he replied.

“I don’t think she will. As far as I know, she obtained a considerable opportunity in the Prodigy Battlefield and is in seclusion in a hidden place. She probably doesn’t know that you’re back yet.”

Chu Feng nodded.

Forget it.

Just wait for a while longer.

It wouldn’t take long.

As they spoke, everyone arrived at the conference room.

When everyone saw Ye Qingtian leading Chu Feng and the others over, they frowned slightly but did not say anything.

Although Chu Feng had disappointed them, he was also a top genius of the human race.

Naturally, he was qualified to attend.

Clearly, Hou Wudi and Sister Hong, who had returned early, did not say anything.

This was because they only knew that Chu Feng might be able to match a Grade A+, but they were not sure how strong he was.

They decided to keep quiet.

Chu Feng and Li Peng found a corner and sat down.

He listened quietly.

The meeting continued.

Chu Feng also understood.

Simply put.

It was the question of who to choose to participate in the Peak Battlefield!

And everyone understood.

Participating in the battle was actually just suicide.

But what surprised Chu Feng was…

The reason why the meeting had never come to any conclusion was not because of everyone’s excuses.

Instead, there were too many people who wanted to participate in the battle and did not know who to choose!

Just as Quade intended to risk his life.

Many people actually had similar thoughts.

It was better to fight fiercely than to live like this!

Even if he had to die, he would accept it.

However, the councilors, led by Hou Wudi, Ares, and Taylor, disagreed.

They had to look at the big picture.

Someone suitable had to be chosen.

The argument continued in the conference room.

Suddenly, an elderly man stood up slowly. There was a relieved smile on his wrinkled face.

He coughed lightly.

All eyes were on him.

Only then did he chuckle.

“Alright, everyone, stop arguing. If you continue, it will damage the harmony.

“I’ll go alone this time.

“I’m old, and I don’t have many years left to live anyway. I have no ties to anyone. If I die, so be it.

“Brother Crowe and Brother Pucci were both older than me. I lost the last time because of my age. That’s why I didn’t snatch them.

“Now, what reason do you brats have to refuse? It’s my turn, right? Haha.

“To be honest, on my deathbed, I am really happy to see my fellows stand up without hesitation.

“When you’re old, it’s good to play some of the heat at the end.”

The old man’s tone was slow but unusually firm.

Quade started to say something else.

But the old man glared at him.

Suddenly he snapped.

“Let us old fellows with no hope of improvement die first. Isn’t this the plan we discussed previously?!”

“If we old fellows die, you make up for it. If you die, then the next generation will make up for it!”

“Why are you all making excuses now?! And you’re even calling themselves Heavenly Masters. How embarrassing!”

As the old man spoke, he turned to look at Chu Feng and the others.

“When the time comes, you brats will also go and watch!

“I’m not afraid of losing face. It’s just that my death might be a little miserable. Don’t mind it. It’s enough to let you know that the human race’s struggle against the demons is cruel. I’m satisfied.”

The old man’s words were strong.

He was smiling fearlessly.

At that moment, the entire conference room was dead silent.

Everyone knew.

Once he joined the battle, the old man would never return.

The old man was going to be dismembered! Eaten alive!

Humans were not strong enough to even bring back corpses!

It was a true death without burial!

The atmosphere of suppressed grief passed through the conference room.

But the old man suddenly burst out laughing.

“Haha, there’s no need to be sad. I’m just going to catch up with those two old fellows. I know those two old fellows. Without me, they won’t be able to drink to their heart’s content.

“Well, it’s settled.

“Three days later, I will fight on behalf of the human race!

“I only hope that the heavens will bless us humans. One day, we can exterminate these beasts from afar and take revenge for the billions of humans who died!”

After a pause, the old man gave another bitter laugh.

“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to see that scene.”

“If that day comes, those of you who are still alive, please remember to go to my tomb and tell me so that I can be happy too. Haha, I’ll thank you in advance.”

At this moment, the old man was carefree and extraordinary.

He knew that he would die, but he was not afraid at all.

His eyes were smiling as he hummed softly.

“If Life is miserable, is death really painful? All joy and sorrow return to the dust. Pity my world. There are many worries. Pity my people. There are many worries… Hahaha…”
