Chapter 699: Stone Forest!
Forming a team, establishing a sect, the simplest and most direct method, is to spend money!
Ninety-nine percent of people live for the sake of money!
So.
Though money isn't everything, it's indeed one of the most useful things in this world.
However.
Qin Feng is also very clear that.
To create a power, besides money, what's needed is even stronger cohesion.
And that is dreams!
Only dreams can gather everyone's souls together.
Glancing around at the crowd, Qin Feng spoke up: "What I want to say is, Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons are not your goal, Destroying Supreme Sect isn't our purpose either! Want to know the path we're going to take?"
The crowd below was buzzing.
They were actually puzzled why Qin Feng, who is so wealthy, insists on opposing the Supreme Sect.
With so much money, one could completely find a safe place free of conflicts and live a comfortable life.
There's no need to be like an egg hitting a rock and going against the Supreme Sect.
"What we are going to do," Qin Feng continued to everyone, "is to make the Heavenly King Palace, the strongest in the world!"
"..."
Everyone was silent.
They all had blood and dreams, but to talk about being "the strongest in the world"—those words felt too far away.
As if someone was delivering a speech on stage, claiming his goal is to be Hua Country's Mr. Ma, overseas Bill—too unrealistic.
"You might think this is a joke, but I have some questions for you," Qin Feng said, "You all know, the current three strongest organizations in the world, Heavenly King Mountain, Dragon King Hall, Supreme Dragon Gate, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then do you know that even with their immense wealth, it is not possible for them to equip everyone with a Heavenly Rank Divine Weapon!" Qin Feng added.
"..."
Hearing this, the crowd erupted again.
Indeed!
Organizations like Heavenly King Mountain, Dragon King Hall, it's said they control more than half of the world's wealth, extremely affluent.
But the people under them don't possess many Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons.
What does this mean?
It means that Qin Feng's current wealth, if not comparable to theirs, is at least far above the average person's!
With absolute wealth, continuously recruiting, then ascending to the world's peak is not without hope!
"Do you, who wants to see the sunset from the peak of the world?" Qin Feng asked the crowd again, "I am here to tell you responsibly, the sunset from the world's peak, is the most beautiful scenery amongst mankind! If you haven't even seen this scenery, it will become a lifelong regret, and if you don't even have the courage to pursue it, then your life will be utterly meaningless!!"
After the speech.
The blood in everyone's heart began to boil.
Yeah!
Who doesn't want to witness the sunset's beauty from the peak of the world, who always wants to live a mediocre life?
Now, it's time to fight for it!
"I swear once more!"
Qin Feng spoke again to the crowd solemnly, "If you survive to the end, I will surely lead you to the peak and look down on all life!!"
"Good!!"
"Good!!"
"Good!!"
Their blood completely boiling, one by one, they excitedly raised their arms and shouted.
"Very good!"
Satisfied, Qin Feng nodded and then said "Now, the first step to ascending to the peak, is to first wipe out the Supreme Sect, make the Supreme Sect our stepping stone! Do you have the confidence!!"
"Yes!!"
"Yes!!"
"Yes!!"
The crowd shouted excitedly.
"Depart!!"
Qin Feng called to the crowd.
Quickly.
Several thousand people immediately began to head in the northwest direction.
According to the intelligence Qin Feng obtained from the Destroying Supreme Sect, the "No Law" base of the Supreme Sect would be approaching from this direction to annihilate them.
Watching the crowd marching out majestically.
Hong Lian was profoundly shocked at this moment.
She was the Sect Leader of the Moon-cutting Sect, and thought that under her governance, the Moon-cutting Sect was well-developed, and her leadership skills were decent.
But after establishing the Moon Cutting Sect and facing personnel from various sects, she felt helpless.
Even as a distinguished Sect Master, she was pressured into a martial contest to re-select a leader.
Now.
With just a few words, Qin Feng had united these people.
It was truly incredible.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Hong Lian staring blankly at him, Qin Feng asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's nothing..."
Hong Lian quickly averted her gaze.
For some reason.
She suddenly found Qin Feng a little bit... handsome...
After a while.
The group passed through two valleys and stopped in a flatter area ahead.
"Let everyone wait here! The Supreme Sect will come here soon, and this place is very suitable for battle," Hong Lian suggested.
But Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, keep moving forward."
"Oh?" Hong Lian asked in confusion, "The valley up ahead is too narrow, and the surrounding mountains are steep, it's highly unsuitable for combat."
"Exactly, it's also unsuitable for them," Qin Feng shrugged, "Since it's inconvenient for everyone, it actually works to our advantage. Plus, the closer to their base, the better."
"..."
Not knowing what else to say, Hong Lian had no choice but to follow his orders and continue onward.
After a moment.
The crowd arrived at an area of the Stone Forest.
Stone pillars stood tall and dense, forming a maze-like structure.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng immediately said, "Let's stop here!"
"To fight here?"
Hong Lian and the others voiced their concerns, "It might be quite difficult, right?"
"It will be difficult, but it also makes it easier to hide," Qin Feng declared, "In a situation where we're at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, this is a very good choice."
That was when.
The forward scouts rushed back swiftly and reported: "Sect Master, Mr. Qin, we've spotted people from the Supreme Sect rushing in this direction. They're estimated to arrive in five minutes, with a preliminary count of twenty thousand people!"
"Twenty thousand!!"
Hong Lian and the others were startled.
The total strength of the "No Law" base was only twenty-five or twenty-six thousand, and yet they had arranged for twenty thousand to come at once!
"Damn it, we thought the Destroying Supreme Sect would be able to hold them back a bit, so that only around ten thousand would come. We didn't expect them to send so many, we're completely outmatched!" an elder said gloomily.
"Don't worry, just follow my orders, and everything will be fine," Qin Feng spoke, "Everyone disperse and stay hidden!"
With no other option, Hong Lian and the others began to arrange for everyone to go into hiding.
Qin Feng said to Wang Zanggu, "The key to victory in this battle is in your hands, it's up to your performance."
"Yes!"
Wang Zanggu was solemn and also proud as he replied.
He leaped up, leading eight hundred men from the Five Rings Mountain to ascend the tallest stone pillar in the area.
Very soon.
Quietness descended on the area.
As if no one had ever been here.
The sounds of the Supreme Sect's men racing towards them grew nearer, and everyone's hearts tightened more and more.
The previous defeat had left a sizable psychological shadow on them.
Now.
How should they fight?
At this time, Hong Lian turned to look towards Qin Feng, then was taken aback: "Where is he?"
