Chapter 145: The Will of the People

……

"What exactly did he want from you?"

Under Tang Yuehua's mediation, Bibi Dong barely managed to calm down, and Liu Erlong no longer deliberately provoked her. After all, if Bibi Dong were truly pushed to the edge, she would genuinely resort to killing!

"He just put that medicine on the table and told me to use my subjective initiative to spread the news of this thing to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Liu Erlong said.

"If nothing goes wrong, he intends to use this thing as bait."

If one were to attribute all of Ning Rongrong's changes to this item, she dared not imagine how many people would go mad trying to steal it. This thing could create at least one Peak Douluo! A Peak Douluo, with a guaranteed lifespan of over a hundred years; if given to someone with great talent, they might even reach level 98, or even the legendary level 99.

Why is the Spirit Hall so formidable? Why is the Clear Sky Sect so formidable? They actually possess level 99 Peerless Douluo!

Most of the time, the Clear Sky Sect has at least one Title Douluo of level 95 or above in power. Even the old Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, who died of anger because of Tang Hao's affairs, was a level 95 Title Douluo; it was just that he was too old and plagued by illness, so he rarely took action.

If a sect can have a Peak Douluo of level 95 or above, it can at least extend its glory for a hundred years! A hundred years! How many sects have existed for less than a hundred years from their founding to their destruction?

The appeal of this thing to Spirit Masters is simply too great, far greater than any hundred-thousand-year spirit ring or spirit bone.

If this thing is really used as bait, many people will die.

"Bait?" Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly.

First, he plotted to use Tang Chen to achieve mutual destruction, and now he wants this medicine to use as bait. To what extent does Nan Feng intend to escalate things? Moreover, how is this thing supposed to be used as bait? Although the improvement brought by this pill refined from immortal herbs is significant, it only improves talent; it doesn't directly create a powerful Spirit Master. Just like Hu Liena and the others, they still need at least ten years or so to grow into Title Douluo.

Ten years—and that's counting from the Spirit King or Spirit Emperor level. If those people really come to snatch it and use it on their own juniors, it will definitely take more than ten years for those people to grow up. But once such a thing happens, how could the Spirit Hall possibly give them another ten years? There aren't many people capable of coming to snatch this thing, and those people aren't idiots, so how could they...

No!

Bibi Dong's expression stiffened. "This bastard is forcing them..."

"Forcing them?" Tang Yuehua looked puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"If they come to snatch it, it's equivalent to tearing off the mask with the Spirit Hall, and a war in the Spirit Master world will break out immediately. But if they don't come to snatch it, once the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall who have taken these pills grow up, they will also be on a dead end," Bibi Dong said.

"Either take a gamble or wait for death. Guess which one they will choose?"

There is simply no choice in this matter! Nan Feng is forcing them to come and snatch it!

The more terrifying the effects of these pills, the greater the threat to those major Spirit Master forces. They can afford not to have them, but the Spirit Hall absolutely cannot have them!

Anyone with a brain should be able to see that Nan Feng's actions over these years have diverged further and further from the Spirit Hall, and Nan Feng has even gradually stood on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall. Both the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master sects represent the interests of the Spirit Master class; they have absolutely nothing to do with ordinary people.

The so-called "commoner Spirit Master"—this term itself is a contradiction. How could a Spirit Master be a commoner? A level 10 Spirit Master can receive a subsidy of one Gold Spirit Coin every month, and a normal Spirit Master, as long as they awaken spirit power, can almost always cultivate to above level 20 before the age of thirty, which means they get a subsidy of ten Gold Spirit Coins every month.

How many commoner families can earn ten Gold Spirit Coins in a month? In other words, even the bottom tier of Spirit Masters belongs to the middle class in the world of ordinary people.

Even the weakest Spirit Master has an incomparably noble status in the world of ordinary people. Spirit Masters and ordinary people, to put it bluntly, are already two different species.

Once spirit power is awakened, it is equivalent to leaving the "commoner" class. Therefore, Spirit Masters and ordinary people can almost be said to be two classes with opposing interests.

And in many cases, Nan Feng's attitude has been biased toward the bottom tier, even hinting for everyone to destroy the top tier.

Although the Spirit Hall ostensibly supports Nan Feng, that was many years ago.

In recent years, high-level Spirit Masters have been fine; their strength as Spirit Masters is on the line, and this world is ultimately one where strength is respected. Especially those families with powerful martial soul inheritances—although they are unhappy with Nan Feng's behavior, it is not unbearable. After all, even if the noble status of Spirit Masters were gone, their status as the strong would not change in the slightest.

However, a large number of middle and lower-level Spirit Masters have realized that if they agree with Nan Feng, it is equivalent to giving up their noble status as Spirit Masters! They were already at the bottom of the Spirit Master world, and this hierarchy is caused by absolute strength, which cannot be changed.

But if the status of ordinary people were suddenly raised, how much of their already meager noble status and privileges would be left? The ones who look down on the bottom-tier people the most are not the top-tier people, but the grassroots management class closest to the bottom tier!

Therefore, in the eyes of most Spirit Master families today, Nan Feng is the traitor! He has betrayed the Spirit Master class!

He even wants to distribute the interests of the Spirit Master class to those bottom-tier people they are free to exploit!

This is an irreconcilable hatred!

The leadership of the Spirit Hall sees it, and the major sects outside see it too, so they haven't caused trouble for Nan Feng; they have even cooperated with him, all to concentrate the hostility of all middle and lower-level Spirit Masters onto Nan Feng alone.

As long as Nan Feng has even the slightest problem, or if he dies, his ideas will be quickly submerged, as if they had never existed!

Nan Feng also sees this, so he abandoned his previous plan, not only because of the threat from the God Realm, but also because he saw that the "boiling a frog in warm water" approach was not feasible.

War and bloodshed are still inevitable and inescapable! "He wants his own death to become the will of the people, and even a matter of course," Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.

"People outside cannot get Nan Feng's pills, but they absolutely cannot be left to his own people."

"Everyone is hoping for his death. Even if this process is very long and requires a hundred years of waiting, at least there is something to look forward to. But if Nan Feng cultivates his own successors, and these successors are incomparably powerful, and then continue to carry out his will, generation after generation... they will be completely finished."

"Nan Feng is not going crazy; he is using his own death to tell everyone that in some struggles, one cannot harbor illusions—it is only a matter of life and death!"
