Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 173 Zhang Zhien is ungrateful and arrogant, so let's fight!

"[Breaking News] In response to the Master's call to maintain peace in the Underworld, Qin Feng, the president of the Foundation, urged both sides to remain calm, avoid acting impulsively, and refrain from easily provoking war. Adhering to the principle of pacifism, the Foundation is committed to maintaining peace in the Underworld and is willing to contribute to it. President Qin Feng has stated his willingness to act as a mediator between Zhang Zhi'en and the City of the Dead, resolving the conflict with the utmost sincerity!"

"[Breaking News] The Confucian spokesperson praised Qin Feng's call to action and commended him for setting aside his prejudices and actively mediating for peace despite the significant conflict between the two sides! He called on both sides to sit down and talk."

"Well-informed sources reveal that, under the current circumstances, neither the City of the Dead nor Zhang Zhi'en's side has shown any inclination to contact Qin Feng. Many insiders believe Qin Feng's actions are a case of a wolf in sheep's clothing, with ulterior motives! He was adding fuel to the fire back then, seemingly wanting a fight to break out. You, the strategist, are the one who keeps the world in order; now you're the one trying to mediate peace and maintain tranquility in the Underworld. Perhaps you need a timely mental evaluation? Your current state resembles symptoms of schizophrenia..."

Qin Feng's sudden statement completely shocked everyone.

As reported, many people are still a bit confused by Qin Feng's sudden 180-degree turn.

Not to mention Qin Feng's friends, even the two sides in the battle were a bit confused.

The City of the Unjustly Dead, the City Lord's Mansion, the Council Hall.

The God of Literature, wearing a silver mask, was still recovering from his injuries, but he was now holding the intelligence report, furious, "What on earth is that bastard Qin Feng doing?!"

"They were urging us to start fighting quickly, saying that not fighting would make us heroes!"

"Then they forbade fighting again, saying anyone who fights is a disruptor of peace!"

"He said everything, good and bad, and now he's spewing nonsense from his moral high ground!"

Opposite the God of Literature, the God of Martial Virtue, wearing a golden mask and black celestial robes, said calmly, "Whether or not to fight is not up to Qin Feng. Why take this guy's opinion too seriously?"

Wenqu Xiangjian glanced at Wude Xingjun and scoffed, "Taking it too seriously? You're underestimating Qin Feng!"

"Old buddy, you're too arrogant!"

"Qin Feng doesn't play by the rules at all! Everything he does is carefully considered!"

"He was pushing us to fight just a moment ago, but now he's not letting us fight. This complete 180-degree turn must mean he knows some inside information that we don't!"

"So even at the cost of ruining their reputation, they turned around in time, instantly transforming from warmongers into peace lovers."

Wu De Xing Jun said, "He can know more information than we do? Are you kidding me! We are celestial beings!"

"Celestial beings?" Wenqu Xingjun said, "Celestial beings are also divided into levels! Those old immortals certainly know a lot, but how much can a new generation of celestial beings like us know? Putting aside other things, just take the secret of the fall of the Great Emperor Doumu. If Qin Feng hadn't revealed it in public, would you or I have known this secret?"

"Those old fogies in the sky are secretive to the enemy, but they've never opened up to us younger generation!"

"Instead of trusting that the higher-ups will reveal secrets to us, I'd rather hope that Qin Feng tells me the secrets. At least Qin Feng is a true villain; he's openly evil, not hiding it."

The Martial Virtue Star Lord looked at the Literary Star Lord and asked, "So, what do you suggest we do next?"

Wenquxingjun said, "I'm very worried about one thing: if we refuse Qin Feng, will he use this as an excuse to mobilize his troops and join the battle? What was originally a contest between two sides will turn into a three-way war!"

The Martial Virtue Star Lord said, "Warfare is about strength! Does he have that strength?"

The God of Literature looked at the unruly God of Martial Virtue and sighed, "Of the eighteen Lords of Hell, he has eleven! Add to that one who's gone mad, and we only have six! Twelve against six, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

The Martial Virtue Star Lord retorted, "You still don't understand war. War is about armies; what good are experts if you can't fight one-on-one? Does he think it's a one-on-one duel between experts?"

The God of Literature said, "Then, please explain to me, God of Literature, how did Qin Feng single-handedly kill an army of 400,000 in the Battle of Jianye City in the East Sea? How so?"

"Then—" said Wu De Xing Jun, "that was an accident! He had a mecha, but there are no mechas here, and the number of souls is limited. What could he do?"

Wenquxingjun said, "We grew up together since childhood, and you already have doubts in your heart. Don't force it at this time."

Just then, a golden light shone from outside the door, and a graceful figure appeared.

The God of Literature and the God of Martial Virtue hurriedly bowed, saying, "Welcome, Celestial Envoy!"

The celestial voice echoed softly, "By the decree of the Supreme Immortal, annihilate Zhang Zhi'en at all costs!"

Upon hearing this, the God of Literature's expression changed drastically, but he still replied, "Yes, sir!"

Wu De Xingjun was overjoyed; finally, the higher-ups were on his side. "Understood!"

The celestial messengers gradually dissipated. The Martial Virtue Star Lord glanced at the Literary Star Lord, "Sorry, but this time the higher-ups are on my side! This battle must continue! It can't be stopped!"

The Martial Virtue Star Lord departed with overwhelming momentum and imposing grandeur.

Wenquxingjun sat there, not coming back to his senses for a long time. He had a vague premonition of something, but the water was so deep that he didn't dare to look at it.

Soon, news from Zhang Zhi'en and the City of the Dead reached Qin Feng at Iron Enclosure Mountain.

Qin Feng looked at the two letters.

The first letter was from the City of the Wrongfully Dead. In the letter, Wu De Xing Jun not only refused his He Tan Long Bend, but also kept cursing him, even saying that he had the intention of dealing with Zhang Zhi En and then coming to deal with your Iron Mountain.

The second letter was from Zhang Zhi'en. Zhang had completely gone mad. As a lunatic, he didn't express any gratitude or thanks. All he said was that everyone was the real culprit who drove his mother to her death. What was there to talk about? What was there to talk about? Zhang wanted to wash the underworld in blood!

Looking at these two letters, Qin Feng could only think, "Damn it, it's definitely harder to be a good person than a bad one!"

If you act like a bad guy, stirring up trouble everywhere and adding fuel to the fire, people will say that you, Qin Feng, are capable and have great skills.

Now I'm trying to stop the appearance of the Ten-Life Reincarnation Body and stop Houtu Doumu's conspiracy, but they're all pointing their fingers at me and cursing!

It's one thing for Wu De Xing Jun to scold me, but Zhang Zhi En, you ingrate, you also scolded me!

You're such a jerk! I thought your name, Zhang Zhi'en, meant you were grateful and would repay kindness. But it turns out you're just a heartless ingrate who never knows how to be grateful. That's why I named you Zhang Zhi'en.

This reminded Qin Feng of another Zhang named Zhang Bairen. Zhang Bairen was called Bairen, but he couldn't tolerate anything. He jumped out of the East Sea to cause trouble, and now the Underworld must be causing trouble as well. I would never believe that Wude Xingjun dared to act so recklessly without the support of the Jade Emperor!

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Qin Feng, it's me!"

Qin Feng hurriedly said, "Uncle, please come in!"

The uncle walked in, noticing Qin Feng's displeased expression. "What do you mean? Neither side is giving you face?"

Qin Feng laughed awkwardly, "I've done so many bad things before, and now that I'm doing a good deed, nobody believes me. That's life!"

My uncle took out a painting from his sleeve. "When you're unsure what to do, ask this. This is all I can do to help you."

Ziming placed the painting on the table and then left.

Qin Feng looked at the scroll, and when he opened it, he saw a portrait of Mencius.

Master Meng sat upright in the middle of the vast golden lotus pond, looking down below.

At that moment, Qin Feng hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, "Student Qin Feng greets Master."

The portrait of Mencius emitted beams of light and shadow, and his voice was serene, "Ancestor Zhen Yuanzi has told me everything about your situation. Although this trip to the Underworld started with harsh words, it was all for the sake of justice. You've worked hard!"

After hearing the words "Thank you for your hard work," Qin Feng felt slightly embarrassed, "Compared to the Master, I am far inferior."

Mencius said, "When you first started out, you were full of scheming and cunning, and had all sorts of vicious plots to destroy the world. This shows how dark your heart was."

"Having traversed the world for less than two years, you bravely ventured alone into the underworld, defying the world's condemnation, to uphold justice!"

"Although this attempt ultimately failed, human strength has its limits, and it is not your fault."

"Now, he is wholeheartedly devoted to doing good and preventing the arrival of the Ten-Life Reincarnation Body, which is another great act of kindness, but the world is evil."

"Compared to before, your growth has been rapid, the changes significant, and your mindset increasingly open. This clearly demonstrates that traveling the world has been effective for you!"

I am very pleased with your growth today.

Qin Feng asked, "Master, given the current situation, what should we do? Could you give me an answer or some guidance?"

The Master smiled leisurely and said, "Seeking answers means letting others make choices for you."

"And you, you gave up your choice."

"If you seek answers in order to gain the teacher's praise, then the teacher's perspective will limit your vision."

"If you seek answers in order to gain the approval of the world, then the world will build a high wall around you."

Qin Feng's eyes gradually cleared and hardened. "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I know what to do now."

Mencius said, "Among all the people in the world who travel, only the coachman can walk ahead of the Master. This implies that the coachman is capable of surpassing the Master."

"When the Master travels the world, his aim is never to train a disciple, but to cultivate someone stronger than himself!"

"Just as Confucius did, so I do."

"Go ahead and do it boldly and confidently! I'll handle everything for you!"

Qin Feng replied, "Understood! Thank you for your explanation, Master!"

As the painting gradually faded away, Qin Feng came to his senses and immediately entered his own little world.

In Linus's courtyard on the continent of Arad.

Upon seeing Qin Feng appear, the Ginseng Fruit Tree Ancestor hurriedly asked, "How is he?"

Qin Feng said, "They both rejected me, and both sides said they'd deal with each other first and then come after me!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree Ancestor said, "Just as I thought! It seems there's no room for negotiation."

Qin Feng asked, "And you, have you seen Zhang Bairen?"

"No," the Ginseng Fruit Tree said. "My clone just finished meeting with Master Meng and was on its way to the Heavenly Court, but it encountered a bewitching array on the way. It was deliberately set up by the Celestials. I knew they didn't want to see me, and even if they did, it wouldn't be fruitful, so they sent my clone back to Wuzhuang Temple. It's obvious that the Celestials know about the Ten Incarnations Body, and they also foresaw the birth of the Ten Incarnations Body and the Earth Book! Their attitude towards the Earth Book and the Ten Incarnations Body this time is one of approval, not opposition! Any action that obstructs the Earth Book and the Ten Incarnations Body will be seen as going against the Celestials!"

"Your previous words and actions clearly showed that you were going against the Celestials! You just haven't actually fought against the Celestials yet."

"Now that the situation is still under the control of the Celestials, Zhang Zhi'en is still doomed."

Qin Feng said, "Master Meng just contacted me."

The ginseng fruit tree asked, "What is Master Meng's opinion?"

Qin Feng said, "Master Meng told me to go for it!"

The ginseng fruit tree looked at Qin Feng. "So, what do you want to do?"

Qin Feng rubbed his wrists. "Zhang Zhi'en, you're a wolf in sheep's clothing, ungrateful and treacherous! Tianren is ambitious and ruthless."

"Both sides are even saying they'll turn around and mess with me!"

"Instead of waiting for them to beat me up, I'll strike first and take them both down!"

"Excuse my bluntness, but these two guys are complete idiots compared to me, Qin Feng, the warmonger!"

The ginseng fruit tree said, "A war needs generals. Do you have a general?"

Qin Feng said, "Of the eighteen Lords of Hell, eleven are in my camp. If we include the madman Baili Changqing, a massive army of twelve Lords of Hell would be more than enough!"

The ginseng fruit tree asked, "Then where are the soldiers? Where did they come from?"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "The Yellow Emperor's Tomb!"

The ginseng fruit tree path asks, "Where have you been?"

"No," Qin Feng said. "However, my wife told me that there are 100,000 soldiers guarding the Yellow Emperor's tomb! And the key item to opening the Xuanyuan Tomb is called the Three Lives Stone!"

"Perfect timing, my wife has the Three Lives Stone!"

"We've already made plans to go to Xuanyuan Tomb together!"

"The troops will be in place in three days at most!"

"Zhang Zhi'en, who is ungrateful!"

"A city of wronged dead, built on wolfish ambitions!"

"Not a single one will escape!"

Upon hearing this, the ginseng fruit tree nodded and said, "Very well! Since you have made your decision, I, your ancestor, can only wish you swift success and a resounding victory!"

Before I leave, I want to tell you my guess.

"The fact that the Celestials can tolerate the appearance of the Ten-Life Reincarnation Body, and even urge its appearance, reveals a possibility: the consciousness of Houtu and Doumu within the Ten-Life Reincarnation Body may no longer exist."

Qin Feng asked, "Does that mean that ten lifetimes of reincarnation will result in one new individual?"

The ginseng fruit tree asked, "Is it possible that the physical body is just an empty shell? If a celestial being, or some other kind of soul, were to enter it, it would mean that the underworld would be completely under our control?"

Qin Feng slapped his thigh. "I understand! I understand everything! Thank you for enlightening me, Ancestor. I will definitely defeat both sides in this war and achieve final victory!"

The ginseng fruit tree nodded, "It's up to you! Have a safe journey."

Qin Feng's figure vanished without a trace.
