Chapter 572 - Forced To The Corner

Truthfully, the weapons developed weren’t weak. Let’s not talk about whether or not they could suppress people at Dao Realm Stage Seven, but one could definitely use it to suppress people at Dao Realm Stage Six.

Even Dao Realm Stage Seven experts like him wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.

But unfortunately, the person they faced was Lin Fan; he was someone who couldn’t be described with normal logic.

Qiong was helpess with regards to the current situation.

Gathering the strongest Alliance nine-star generals to fight him might be a good method. But the key was that with Ji gone, the cultivators were unhappy with Xiang Yuntian.

Some of them were thinking to themselves: didn’t you think that you were so amazing?

*　　*

Great, let’s see how your tech division solved this matter.

Maybe this was a stupid move, but when people were bickering, all stupid actions were the result of negativity and the desire to prove a point.

They just wanted to see what Xiang Yuntian could use apart from these bunch of martial cultivators he felt were useless. How he was going to fight against the enemy?

The meeting ended miserably.

When Xiang Yuntian appeared outside, he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters. The last time he was surrounded was because he fought with Ji for the commander position.

This time, things weren’t so easy to solve.

“Commander, the native Lin Fan has already wiped out many cities. Why hasn’t the Alliance Headquarters done anything?”

“A bunch of young students from Yaowu College defended City Wu. This was like throwing eggs at stone. You are the only one who had conflicts with the cultivator faction and you are using these students as fodder.”

The problem was very direct.

Some questions were really too much.

Xiang Yuntian had a cold expression, “Guys, you can’t say things like that. The Alliance Headquarters has been doing work. It is just that the enemy we faced is too strong.”

The reporters said in annoyance, “Strong? He is alone and he is stronger than the whole Alliance? Commander Xiang said when you took over that you would use technology to bring the Alliance to the peak. Now, just because of one person, the Alliance is helpless. That is just unbelievable.”

That reporter said what many people wanted.

Shortly after, a reporter hollered in rage, “If you can’t fulfil your promise, then you should retire and not continously start meetings to discuss strategies. In the end, you don’t even have a single idea.”

“Right, when Commander Ji was around, although he made the people disappointed, it not his fault. It was because the two strongest nine-star generals were disappointing.”

When Xiang Yuntian heard the reporter’s words; it felt as if a bomb was buried in his heart. He was on the verge of exploding.

He ignored these reporters and left the place.

The reporters chased behind him and continued asking but Xiang Yuntian didn’t want to say much more to them.

At such a time, such explanations were useless.

The only method was to suppress Lin Fan.

This was the best way to solve the problem.

But how would things be so simple?

For some reason, Xiang Yuntian felt that Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige didn’t want to make mistakes but because the enemy they faced made them too helpless.

The reporters chased for a while but could only look on helplessly as Xiang Yuntian left.

They wanted the latest news but they were also members of the Alliance. How could they watch on as the Alliance was insulted like that. So, they thought that the Alliance had a way to suppress the enemy.

Qiong stood in the distance and looked as Xiang Yuntian left.

He didn’t know what to do.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that Ji retired because he knew that Lin Fan would definitely come which was why he retreated to avoid the trouble. He allowed Xiang Yuntian to take up to row and attract all the hatred.

Maybe that was the true situation.

But all of this was just his own speculation. As for the specific situation, it was quite hard to judge.

Tech Research Division.

Xiang Yuntian stood expressionlessly in front of a screen. He stared at the screen and blood slowly appeared in his eyes.

“Commander, the heavy firepower weapons are badly damaged and the damage has reached 40%.”

Some tech researchers said.

He had never expected that the weapons he placed all about would suffer such damage one day.

“What is the situation with the star level energy?” Xiang Yuntian asked.

The researchers were stunned and said hurriedly, “Everything is stabilized.”

He was thinking whether or not he really wanted to release the Star Level Energy. That was impossible. Star Level Energy was so strong and to use it to hit him was quite difficult too.

Based on the power data, Lin Fan’s various stats had reached a terrifying stage.

Even the previous commander, the strongest nine-star general wasn’t able to exceed him.

As time flowed, the situation became more and more complicated.

The Alliance suffered more and more losses.

For Xiang Yuntian, he felt like his mind was in a mess. It was as if everything was dug out from within.

He tried to think of ways but there was no solution at all.

“If we release the Star Level Energy, how high is the chance of success?” Xiang Yuntian asked.

The researcher said, “Based on the various datas, the possibility is really low, reaching a near impossible stage. The location to release it is also hard to choose. No matter where we release it, the ripples will affect the nearby cities.”

The newest battle situation was passed to them.

Although there was no news of commoners sacrificing themselves, their experts suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the weapons they developed weren’t of any use on Lin Fan.

It was a mess outside.

As the battle got more and more intense, the people became more and more uneasy.

At that moment, someone thought about the last commander Ji.

Maybe, only he could lead them to victory. As for Xiang Yuntian, he only knew how to talk and none of his words came through. Especially at such a time, there was nothing he could do to Lin Fan. He was just so disappointing.

Ji was in his villa.

There were many reporters who rushed over. At the same time, there were many civilians too.

That was reality.

The two nine-star generals series of failures caused many to feel disappointed in the Alliance Headquarters. When they saw the power of the Star Level Energy, they were confident in the tech division.

They hoped that the tech division would become normal and mainstream in the Alliance.

When Xiang Yuntian took over, they were excited. They felt that the Alliance was about to welcome its peak.

But now, they tossed all their problems over to the tech division.

Tough.

Commander Ji knew that there were many people who wanted to see him but he didn’t want to meet them. He was still calmly fishing.

After all, since he had retired, he had nothing to do and could only fish to pass time.

Even if the Alliance had reached its most dangerous moment, he had no thoughts of coming out of the shadows.

When Lin Fan appeared in the Alliance, he had thought about how they would welcome him; they would definitely send their nine-star general, commanders, generals, etc. Anyone they could free up would definitely be gathered to wait for him.

But, what was going on?

Who were they looking down on?

Till now, what was he even facing?

It was as if he had come to a kindergarten, punching and kicking one another.

Sometimes he needed to control his strength, otherwise, he might actually kill them.

“The Alliance Headquarters commander, strongest nine-star generals, listen up. If you dare to send such small fries again, don’t blame me for wiping your cities out.” Lin Fan roared.

This voice spread to everyone.

The Alliance civilians were insulted. He actually saw those people who were sacrificed just as small fry.

What was the Alliance Headquarters doing?

What was Xiang Yuntian doing?

Had he forgotten what he had said before?

Or, was he just sprouting nonsense, using those words to cheat them for their votes?

Now that danger had appeared, no one stepped out.

Damn, damn.

Tech Research Division.

Some of them stopped their work and looked at Xiang Yuntian in hesitation, “Commander…”

He didn’t dare to say that.

His expression was one of struggle.

Xiang Yuntian said, “Speak, what is it?”

The researcher lowered his head, “Commander, we can’t be the sinners of the Alliance. We all know what is going on. Unless Star Level Energy can strike him, there is nothing we can do. But Star Level Energy can’t strike him. If this continues, the Alliance will just sacrifice more and more people for nothing.”

Some people were unhappy. They wanted to retort him and teach him a lesson.

What nonsense was he saying?

If you looked down on yourself, then who would hold you in any regard?

But they didn’t say those words.

They knew that he was saying the truth and was thinking about the Alliance.

Xiang Yuntian kept silent, “Are all of you disappointed in yourselves?”

The researcher said, “Not disappointed but the Alliance can’t survive if we continue delaying. The colleges are split into two factions, the cultivator faction and the research faction shouldn’t be split and should support one another. Now, more and more people from the cultivator faction have stepped up but they are too weak and can’t really cause any waves.

“Only the strongest nine-star generals can restrict him.”

But they were researchers and not good at cultivating; they saw what was going on. Those cultivators all cared and went to intercept Lin Fan.

But they were too weak and were sacrificed for nothing.

Xiang Yuntian listened on and didn’t say a single word.

In the past, if someone said that, he would be going against the higher honor of the commander. But now, not only him, but the others knew that they were just choosing between unhappiness and the Alliance’s future. They chose the future.

“Is that what all of you think?” Xiang Yuntian asked.

The research divison was silent.

Someone who had worked for 70 years and had long passed retirement age said slowly, “My wish is for the betterment of the Alliance, not to be bullied and not be able to do nothing about it.”

Xiang Yuntian nodded and then sighed.

“I understand.”

At this moment, everyone realized that the usually pumped up and energetic Commander Xiang was much more tired.
