“Invasion?”

Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji immediately stood up.

The defensive measures of the League of Guardians were set up by Lin Feng. As long as someone entered the defensive range of the League of Guardians Headquarters without the permission of the guards, it would be considered an invasion.

There were no dire beasts now. Who would dare to invade the League of Guardians?

Swoosh.

When Zhang Qiji and Qu Chen walked out, they saw that a small airship had already appeared in the sky. A figure exited it.

“I think it’s Sage Batai?”

“Yes, I’ve seen his image before. He’s Sage Batai from the consortium faction!”

Qu Chen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Sage Batai on the airship. However, she was still a little confused. Why would Sage Batai suddenly come to the League of Guardians Headquarters?

However, she still used her authority to turn off the alarm immediately.

After the alarm was switched off, the originally restless Guardian’s eyes flashed red as it sat down again. It was presided over the League of Guardians like a pylon.

Only Qu Chen had the authority to command the Guardian!

“Sage Batai, apologies for the lack of a formal welcome!”

Qu Chen bowed respectfully to Sage Batai. Many martial artists in the League of Guardians also expressed their respect to Sage Batai.

Sage Batai took a step forward and landed on the ground.

“You’re Lin Feng’s fiancée?”

Sage Batai looked at Qu Chen. Although Lin Feng’s engagement was very low-key, Sages like them still knew. In particular, Lin Feng had transferred a portion of the authority of the League of Guardians to Qu Chen, so Qu Chen’s status was even more important.

“Sage Batai, why are you at the League of Guardians Headquarters?”

Qu Chen was neither obsequious nor supercilious when facing a Sage. After all, she was not representing herself at this moment, but the entire League of Guardians, and Lin Feng!

“The Invincible Fist Sage hasn’t informed you yet, right? All right, I’ll be the bearer of the unfortunate news.”

Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji’s hearts skipped a beat. They suddenly had an ominous feeling.

“What unfortunate news?”

“Sage Lin Feng fought two demon emperors in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead, and fell in battle!”

Boom.

Sage Batai’s words were like a bolt from the blue. Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji’s minds went blank. Qu Chen almost lost her footing. Zhang Qiji’s wife, Bai Jing, supported her in time at the side.

“Impossible, that’s impossible…”

Unknowingly, tears had already rolled down Qu Chen’s eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot as she kept shaking her head. She did not believe this news at all.

Sage Batai heaved a long sigh and said in a compassionate tone, “Qu Chen, my condolences! Sage Lin Feng died for humanity’s resistance against the demon emperors. He is a hero of humanity!”

“Brother Feng can’t be dead. I’ll contact Brother Feng immediately.”

Zhang Qiji immediately dialed Lin Feng’s communicator. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get through.

“It’s useless. Sage Lin Feng is buried deep underground. Even the Sages can’t find his body.”

Qu Chen seemed to have lost all her vitality. Moments of her past relationship with Lin Feng resurfaced in her mind. She could not believe that the last time they left each other for a short time turned out to be goodbye forever.

Seeing that Qu Chen and Zhang Qiji were both grieving deeply, the League of Guardians was also in chaos.

Those martial artists were all official members of the League of Guardians. They had joined because the League of Guardians was a fledgling faction, and with a new Sage like Lin Feng, they had a bright future ahead of them.

Now that they heard the grievous news for the first time, these martial artists were in an uproar. The situation was subtly chaotic.

“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. Sage Lin Feng is the tenth Sage of humanity. He died resisting the demon emperors this time as well. He’s a great hero of humanity! We naturally can’t let heroes down. Hence, the League of Guardians will not disband, and will still maintain the status quo. However, certain confidential things must be handed over to the Sages for safekeeping first.”

“Qu Chen, hand over the authority of the League of Guardians Headquarters to me first. Don’t worry, humanity will not forget Sage Lin Feng’s contributions!”

Transfer authority?

Qu Chen suddenly lifted her head. She glanced around the League of Guardians, and a trace of stubbornness appeared in her eyes.

“Sage Batai, Lin Feng was the one who founded the League of Guardians. Everything here came from his hard work! I will help to guard the results of his hard work. Sage Batai, please understand!”

“Hmm?”

Sage Batai’s gaze was sharp, and naturally emitted an aura.

Qu Chen actually did not want to hand over the authority of the League of Guardians Headquarters. In fact, Sage Batai did not have much ambition or thoughts about the League of Guardians. His only goals were the Spear of Destruction and the robot with the combat power of a Sage!

“Qu Chen, the transfer of authority is the decision of the Sages. After all, the League of Guardians is of great importance. There is also a robot with the combat power of Sages and countless armed robots. If any accidents happen, it will cause a calamity for the entire human society. Please consider the greater good!” Sage Batai’s tone even became slightly harsh.

“Is this really the Sages’ decision? Let me ask Lord Invincible Fist Sage first.”

Qu Chen immediately took out her communicator. Compared to Sage Batai, she trusted the Invincible Fist Sage more. After all, Lin Feng was also from the Myriad Academy. Moreover, before Lin Feng left, he gave Qu Chen the contact details of the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Kang, and told Qu Chen to look for the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Kang if anything happened.

Seeing that Qu Chen was about to call the Invincible Fist Sage’s communicator, Sage Batai waved his hand, and the communicator in Qu Chen’s hand landed in Sage Batai’s hand.

“All of you, listen up. Sage Lin Feng is dead. I will take over the League of Guardians for the time being! Those who act rashly will be charged with crimes against humanity!”

Sage Batai could not be bothered with the pretense anymore. He had long made up his mind to obtain the robot with the combat power of a Sage and the Spear of Destruction.

“Sage Batai, is this how you treat Sage Lin Feng’s family?”

Although Zhang Qiji could not quite withstand the aura of a Sage, he still braced himself and said while trembling.

Now, everyone could see clearly that Sage Batai was not acting on a resolution from the Sages. He was clearly plotting to seize the League of Guardians. Sage Lin Feng had just died, and Sage Batai was already doing this. It was truly disappointing.

However, how terrifying was the might of a Sage?

Even the official members of the League of Guardians did not dare to step forward to stop him.

“Transfer your authority!” Sage Batai’s tone was cold.

Qu Chen gritted her teeth. She glanced at the League of Guardians around her and smiled wanly.

“I will help to guard your hard work! Guardian, activate and lock onto the intruder!”

Boom.

As soon as Qu Chen finished speaking, the huge robot in the League of Guardians immediately stood up and locked its gaze on Sage Batai.

“Enemy invasion! Combat mode activated!”

The Guardian with the combat power of a Sage immediately activated its combat mode.

“Damn it! You actually dare to attack a Sage?”

Sage Batai was extremely furious. He wished he could strike Qu Chen dead on the spot. However, he could not do it, for the terrifying robot had already been activated, and was charging towards him in a frenzy.
