CHAPTER 1147: CHAPTER 1164: COERCION [FIRST UPDATE]

Although Fang Tianyuan’s words weren’t very explicit, Duan Lingfeng understood what Fang Tianyuan meant. Fang Tianyuan originally thought he had already controlled Duan Lingfeng’s mind, planting his own thoughts in Duan Lingfeng’s head. However, it now appeared that Fang Tianyuan was mistaken. All along, Duan Lingfeng had just been pretending; he had never been controlled at all.

Duan Lingfeng looked coldly at Fang Tianyuan, "Fang Tianyuan, stop dreaming. I will never hand over control of the battle zone and Heavenly Dragon Town to you. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t happen!"

After hearing Duan Lingfeng’s words, Fang Tianyuan wasn’t worried at all, "Duan Lingfeng, do you think that just saying this leaves me with no way? Right now, the upper echelons of the Southern Border are already under my control; they’re all listening to me. Even if you don’t hand over your position to me, everyone will still follow my orders. I advise you not to make futile resistance."

At this moment, those in the upper echelons of the Southern Border battle zone nodded one after another and said, "Old War God, you should hand over your position. You’ve been managing the battle zone for many years and it’s been very exhausting. It’s time for you to have a good rest. Didn’t you say you always wanted to retire and live a peaceful life? Elder Fang is a great leader, we trust his abilities, he’ll certainly lead us well!"

"Indeed, don’t we have Heavenly Lord Ye as well? With the cooperation of Heavenly Lord Ye and Elder Fang, we believe we can surely prosper and successfully lead the Martial Artist Warriors of the Dragon Battle Zone to an even more glorious future!"

The upper echelons of the Southern Border were all persuading Duan Lingfeng, placing unprecedented trust in Fang Tianyuan, even far exceeding their trust in Duan Lingfeng, obviously heavily brainwashed.

But looking at those who had switched sides, Duan Lingfeng felt very distressed in his heart, yet his attitude remained very firm. Even though Ye Feng by Fang Tianyuan’s side was a fake, he didn’t say it because Duan Lingfeng knew everyone had already been successfully brainwashed by Fang Tianyuan. Even if Duan Lingfeng told everyone that the current Ye Feng was fake and not the real Ye Feng,

it would be of no use at all because no one would believe Duan Lingfeng’s words.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng and his group were already halfway to the Southern Border, increasing their speed towards the Southern Border.

At this moment, Liu Mu suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Right, Heavenly Monarch! I almost forgot something!" Upon hearing Liu Mu’s words, Ye Feng looked at Liu Mu curiously and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Mu took out a brocade bag from his pocket and said to Ye Feng, "Before I came to find you, the Old War God gave this to me, saying that when I successfully capture you, I should open it to understand what to do next."

"Oh?" Ye Feng looked at the brocade bag with a curious expression, "Open it and take a look..."

Liu Mu nodded, then took out a note from the brocade bag, which had a few words written on it: "Ye Feng, go to Heavenly Dragon Town to seek support!" Upon seeing the content of the note, Ye Feng and his group immediately understood.

"So the Old War God was not controlled; he had long known the intentions of Fang Tianyuan and the others!" A look of admiration appeared in Liu Mu’s eyes. He originally thought the brocade bag was meant for him, but it turned out to be intended for the Old War God.

As early as when Ye Feng had called the Old War God, Duan Lingfeng, the latter had known Ye Feng had returned, feigned ignorance, and let Liu Mu come over, confident Ye Feng would restore Liu Mu’s normal state, thus preparing the brocade bag.

A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng’s face as well. He knew the Old War God could not be so easily controlled. The previous act of not recognizing him was so convincingly done that even Ye Feng nearly believed it.

After all, Duan Lingfeng had been the great man in charge of Heavenly Dragon Town for decades, always strategizing, impossible to be subdued by Fang Tianyuan in just a few months, regardless of how strong Fang Tianyuan’s power was.

At this time, Liu Mu said anxiously, "Heavenly Monarch, I’ll have the driver turn around immediately, we’ll head to Heavenly Dragon Town!"

"No need!" Ye Feng shook his head lightly, directly refusing. After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Mu started to worry, as the reason Duan Lingfeng told Ye Feng and them to seek support was precisely because he knew how formidable Fang Tianyuan and his forces were, beyond their ability to handle, hence the need for support. Otherwise, Duan Lingfeng wouldn’t have conveyed such a message.

Liu Mu said, "Heavenly Monarch, Fang Tianyuan and his forces are immensely powerful, eight Divine Realm experts, each with unfathomable power. We should follow the Old War God’s advice and hurry to Heavenly Dragon Town to seek support!"

Ye Feng continued to shake his head, a relaxed expression in his eyes devoid of any waves or panic, Ye Feng lightly shook his head and said, "No need to panic, we’ll just proceed; Fang Tianyuan is nothing to worry about!"

"But!" Liu Mu was still worried, after all, they were facing figures equivalent to legends in the Dragon Battle Zone.

Ye Feng said, "Today is the handover ceremony, it’s clear Elder Duan hasn’t been controlled, so with Elder Duan’s character, it’s impossible he would hand over power to Fang Tianyuan. Right now, Elder Duan is likely already in danger. If we go to Heavenly Dragon Town and then return to the Southern Border, it might already be too late; we’ll go straight back to the Southern Border!"

After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Mu’s body jolted, Ye Feng was indeed right.

But the opposing force was too powerful; without going to Heavenly Dragon Town for support, Liu Mu really lacked confidence.

However, since Ye Feng insisted on not going to Heavenly Dragon Town, Liu Mu had no choice but to bravely follow Ye Feng.

Inside the meeting room of the Southern Border battle zone, the atmosphere had reached an extreme severity, the room filled with a strong killing intent. Fang Tianyuan frowned, looking at Duan Lingfeng and said, "Duan Lingfeng, you’d better think it through; this position should originally have been mine, I am merely reclaiming what’s rightfully mine. I won’t harm Dragon Country!

Without me, there wouldn’t be today’s Dragon Battle Zone either. My patience is limited; I’m giving you three more minutes to decide!"
