CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 255: WHO IS LINGSHAN? ALL HUNDRED VEINS ARE STIRRED

Central Zone, Four Guardian Stars.

As the Holy Land of the Federation Martial Arts Seeds, the Four Guardian Stars always maintains a situation where some people leave dejectedly and others swarm in.

At this moment, a debate about whether Ji Jingqiu will "make a move" in the Western region is underway among the youth.

Among them are young people from Martial Arts Families who have become accustomed to such matters from a young age, they are more realistic compared to other relatively youthful and passionate groups, displaying a clear difference.

Some shook their head, with an extremely complex tone:

"He probably won’t make a move. You guys don’t understand the pressure the Federation faces, not only from the external Heavenly Road but also from the internal contradictions and conflicts that have been intertwined for thousands of years in the Western region."

"Using a rather outrageous statement, the reason why you all live in an era of peace, besides thanking all the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters for stabilizing the situation, is also thanks to the ’sacrifice’ of the Western region."

"What do you mean, sacrificing one Western region to benefit the other three regions?" someone challenged.

One person softly said: "Looking through history, how many dynasties have lasted endlessly? The Federation has been established for ten thousand years, with the Six Great Families and Martial Artists forming a long-living privileged class, yet it still maintains the Federal system and Federal laws that can even judge Heavenly Persons. Common Martial Artists committing crimes are punished the same as ordinary people... This is already a remarkable achievement. Most of the civilizations we have come across exist in the form of dynastic kingdoms."

"In fact, the Western region wasn’t always this chaotic; there’s a ’periodicity’, and this periodicity relates to the internal contradictions of the Federation." Suddenly, someone spoke up, revealing a secret.

The implication behind this statement caused everyone to startle.

A descendant from a thousand-year-old Martial Arts Family from the Central Zone sneered:

"What old tales? Even with internal contradictions, is it necessary to sacrifice the entire Western Federation? It’s just the yokels in the Western region accustomed to being local tyrants, unwilling to move, intentionally creating ’excuses’! The situation in the Western region today, they need to take responsibility!"

"True, the chaos in the Western has indeed become ’normal’, with rebels frequently in the history, but most of the time and in most of the planets, it’s peaceful, even if there are dark phases, they are within controllable limits! There hasn’t been a time as bad as now..."

Suddenly, a voice infused with Qi Force resounded among the crowd:

"Fearing this and that, I’ll say it! Ever since the Grandmasters left, some people have clearly become restless, stirring up the Western region as a test towards the Federation officials, including members of the Six Great Families!"

"Ji Jingqiu might make a move to help the disaster-stricken people he encounters along the way, but he cannot come out openly, otherwise, it would implicate everything. Think about it, who would his enemies be!"

"In fact, Ji Jingqiu is already at the pinnacle, a new privileged class. Even descendants of the direct lineage of the Six Great Families don’t receive such grand receptions everywhere they go..."

"Er, are you saying the dragon slayer ends up becoming the dragon?"

"What dragon? What dragon slayer?" someone refuted, stepping forward to argue that even if Ji Jingqiu doesn’t make a move, could one really blame him? That’s illogical.

"Ji Jingqiu relied on his Martial Arts talent to rise up, and he was born in the Eastern region; he truly has no reason to be enemies with those people!"

"Ask yourselves, if it were you, would you be willing to confront many Martial Arts Families in the Western region, or even certain individuals from the Six Great Families for ordinary people who have nothing to do with you? I wouldn’t."

"In history, there hasn’t been a lack of Martial Artists who thought they could change it all, but they eventually all vanished completely, not even making a splash."

"Actually, even if he stands up, it’s useless, Dragon Tiger Dojo doesn’t have the capacity to contend with those forces. The Western Federation, apart from the Central Zone, has the most thousand-year-old Martial Arts Families..."

"Didn’t you just say that Federation laws can even judge Heavenly Persons?"

"But the evidence needs to be overwhelming, which is hard to find. In some cases, why would Heavenly Persons need to step in themselves? Families have their own scapegoats, and in the end, they just face accusations of ’lack of vigilance’ or ’poor discipline’."

"Overall, if Ji Jingqiu stands up, neither in terms of force nor political means, can he overcome them."

At this moment, even the teenagers that idolized and had confidence in Ji Jingqiu, felt the insurmountable "heavy barrier".

His enemies are not one or two people, nor peers from his past, but the collective of Western families accumulated over thousands of years of the Federation.

It’s a combination of force and law!

"Qingshan, what do you think?" In the crowd, someone looked toward Ruan Qingshan and whispered, "Don’t you know him?"

Facing everyone’s gaze, Ruan Qingshan raised his head, scanning the crowd, and softly said:

"He has already intervened. That set of photos is still spreading wildly online, now not just limited to Martial Arts forums but causing a huge stir across the entire Federation network."

The crowd fell silent.

The statement was correct; Ji Jingqiu had already intervened, and under his influence, many warriors from different forces had already begun to head to the Western region for "disaster relief".

"I never doubted Ji Jingqiu would intervene, not because he is a good person, but because his love and appreciation for life doesn’t yield to anyone."

Ruan Qingshan recalled Ji Jingqiu whom he once chatted with in groups, that peer who was still struggling with Evil Poison Disease...

He earnestly said: "Ji Jingqiu has another trait; he never bows his head, not even death made him bow, so those people thinking to make him bow, that’s even less likely."
