Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 284 - Establishing a Faction

Chapter 284: Establishing a Faction

Currently, the five major factions included the academic faction, the government faction, the military faction, the consortium faction, and the Freelance Cultivators Union.

The five major factions controlled almost every aspect of the human world. They were pervasive, and no one could escape the control of the five major factions. It seemed very daunting, but it was precisely because the five major factions were so powerful that they could ensure that humans could constantly expand their territory and allow human society to develop and improve.

Humanity’s technology was slowly obtained from the ancient civilizations that were constantly excavated. The speed of development could be described as explosive. Almost every year, a few major technological inventions would appear.

Not to mention how the path of martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds. They had even entered the era of martial artists.

It would probably be very difficult for Lin Feng to stay out of it. He had to join a faction, or be a faction himself!

Considering that ruin, the Destroyer, and the many secrets on Lin Feng himself, it was not very appropriate for Lin Feng to join any faction.

He needed to establish his own faction. Even if he wanted to publicize certain things about himself, he had to prioritize his own faction and slowly promote it among all of humanity.

Human nature was the most unpredictable thing. Lin Feng had to be cautious.

As for the difficulty of establishing a faction, with Lin Feng’s current influence, that ruin, and the help of Longbetham, establishing a faction was not a problem at all.

Hence, Lin Feng glanced at the Invincible Fist Sage and said apologetically, “Dean, please forgive me for not being able to join the academic faction.”

The Invincible Fist Sage hurriedly asked, “Why? Do you think the conditions are not good enough? Don’t worry, as long as you join, even if you want to build an academy, we will fully support you.”

Sage Kang smiled and asked, “Sage Lin Feng, would you choose to join the government faction?”

“No, I won’t join anyone! I choose to establish my own faction.” Lin Feng said firmly.

“Establish a faction?”

Everyone was stunned. It was not that they had not thought of this possibility, but the five major factions were spread throughout human society in the present. What faction could get a foothold?

Even though Lin Feng was a Sage, he could not forcefully insert a sixth faction.

If the faction established did not have much power, what need would there be to establish it?

“Sage Lin Feng, establishing a faction is very difficult. You have to think it through.”

Sage Kang’s expression also turned solemn. He was really worried that Lin Feng’s establishment of a faction would affect the interests of the five major factions. If conflicts arose, it might cause internal strife in human society. The gains would not make up for the losses. Moreover, that was not what Sage Kang wished to see either.

Lin Feng naturally knew what Sage Kang was worried about, so he said with a smile, “Sage Kang, I’ve already thought it through. The headquarters of the faction I’ve established is in the ruins not far from the Brimstone Base. Moreover, I’ll only recruit martial artists who haven’t joined the five major factions. However, I have another request. Sage Zhou Tianqi, Sage Palman, would you be willing to transfer the Brimstone Base to me? The military can withdraw from the Brimstone Base. In the future, it will become the headquarters of the faction I’ve established, to always guard the Outland!”

“Haha, it’s just a minor matter. Since Sage Lin Feng can build his headquarters in such a remote place and always guard the Outland, our military faction naturally supports it!”

Sage Zhou Tianqi immediately expressed his stance. Sage Palman also nodded in agreement. If they retreated from the Brimstone Base, many martial artists there could return to the military to establish new bases. Lin Feng was doing the military a favor. What reason did the military have to disagree?

“All right, since Sage Lin Feng has already made his decision, the matter is decided.”

Sage Kang gave the final word. The Conference of Sages ended. The Sages congratulated Lin Feng one after another, and the projections disappeared.

The Invincible Fist Sage stayed behind. He said emotionally, “Lin Feng, what a pity. Although you didn’t join the academic faction, you’re a Sage from my Myriad Academy after all. If you ever encounter difficulties when establishing your faction in the future, do come to me directly.”

“Dean, then I’ll have to thank you in advance.”

Lin Feng did not stand on ceremony with the Invincible Fist Sage. Among the Nine Sages, the Invincible Fist Sage was the one who undoubtedly supported him fully.

The Sages left one after another, with only Sage Kang remaining.

Lin Feng knew that Sage Kang definitely had something to say to him.

“Sage Lin Feng, you’ve seen the Sage Conference just now. The Nine Sages are not really completely selfless. They also have their own interests.”

“I know. Even martial artists have their own interests, let alone Sages. However, I believe that as long as by and large, everyone serves the whole of humanity, it’s already very good.”

“That’s right. All these years, I have been mediating the conflicts between the Sages. With that, no major conflicts have occurred on the broader scale. Now that you’ve become the tenth Sage, you represent a variable, but I believe that you are also hope.”

“Hope?”

“You should also know about these things. The Nine Sages are guarding the Outland, and we actually have no time to spare. This is because every Sage has their corresponding demon emperor. The moment we leave, those demon emperors will stir up trouble, and bring a calamity to our human society.”

“Then why not eliminate those demon emperors?”

“If we could get rid of them, we would have done it long ago. Every one of those demon emperors is not inferior to us Sages. We can’t join forces for the time being, so how can we get rid of those demon emperors? But now that there’s Sage Lin Feng and the robot with the combat power of a Sage under your control, the situation has become advantageous to us.”

“What do you mean, Sage Kang?”

“In the future, I hope that Sage Lin Feng can work with us to eliminate some demon emperors after stabilizing your cultivation level.”

This could be considered an invitation to Lin Feng. Wasn’t this the reason Sage Kang had done so much to support Lin Feng in becoming the tenth Sage?

Lin Feng pondered for a while. Finally, he lifted his head and said, “It shall be my duty!”

“All right, when the time is right, I’ll inform Sage Lin Feng!”

Sage Kang could finally rest a.s.sured, so his projection quickly disappeared as well.

Lin Feng took one last look at the Conference of Sages and did not stay for long. He instantly severed the connection, and his projection gradually dissipated.

“Phew…”

Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked around again. He was still in the secret chamber in the ruins.

The Conference of Sages just now was really miraculous, but at the same time, it also broadened Lin Feng’s horizons. He learned what was going on between the Nine Sages, the highest authority in human society.

Without a doubt, there were also distinctions in interests and discords among Sages. However, under the mediation of Sages like Sage Kang, they still maintained overall harmony.

Only, as the tenth Sage, he might break the balance.

However, these were not within Lin Feng’s consideration. He had already become a Sage. Since he was determined to establish a new faction, he had to build a framework first.

After all, up until now, Lin Feng was still a lone commander.

Well, it could not be said that he was completely alone. Lin Feng had at least 200,000 robot subordinates, all of which were loyal without comparison
