God-Like Extraction Chapter 299 - Who Fears Who?!

Chapter 299: Who Fears Who?!

“We’re doomed, we’re doomed. The New Chu Nation is going to attack the Yu Nation!”

“Stop spreading rumors! He said it himself that it’s to celebrate the promotion of our country’s new Martial Sage. How did that become a.s.sociated with war?”

“The person above is the ignorant one. Do you really believe New Chu’s Martial Sage is making such a big commotion just to congratulate us? Anyone with some brains knows that this Giant Shark Island banquet is nothing good. Who knows, he might directly set up an ambush on the island!”

“Not to the extent of an ambush. If Martial Sage is really the realm above the first-grade, then New Chu’s Martial Sage actions are most likely meant to intimidate and warn our Martial Sage!”

“That’s right. It’s irrefutable that New Chu’s Martial Sage is up to no good. In my opinion, our Martial Sage should simply skip the banquet.”

“Tch, what a joke. He’s already bluntly telling everyone that if our Martial Sage doesn’t attend the banquet, New Chu’s Martial Sage will come knocking on our door the next day! No one knows what will happen then! If Martial Sage is the realm above the first-grade, the aftermath of the battle between the Martial Sages alone can cause countless casualties.”

“In other words, our Martial Sage must attend the banquet? If not, a battle between Martial Sages will break out?”

“Of course he has to go. If he doesn’t, the new Martial Sage Chu will have an excuse to come knocking on our door.”

“But if he does, there’s an equal chance of a huge battle breaking out. Our Martial Sage is new. In terms of strength and experience, he probably won’t be able to compare to New Chu’s Martial Sage, right?”

“D*mn the New Chu Nation! Why won’t the Xiang Family go to h.e.l.l?”

“Sigh, things are getting troublesome. New Chu’s Martial Sage invited our Martial Sage to a banquet in front of everyone in the country. Regardless of whether our Martial Sage attends or not, this matter has become serious. A war might really be coming.”

“Look at what the person above is saying. You sound as if there has been a break in the war for so many years. Can’t you see that the Golden Sparrow Mountain Range from a hundred years ago has become the Golden Sparrow Basin now?”

“Um, what kind of technology did this New Chu’s Martial Sage use to put his face in the sky? What are the theories involved? Is it optical segmentation refraction, or spatial expansion technology? If it’s the former, how did he do the optical segmentation? If it’s the latter, how is the stability of s.p.a.ce maintained? Are there similar technologies in the New Chu Nation? If it’s neither, could it be a newly discovered holographic projection technique?”

“The appraisal is done. The person above has gone crazy!”

…

The Internet was in an uproar.

The Internet cafe was also in an uproar.

At this moment, everyone in the Yu Nation was involved in this sensational event.

Due to the extension of the Internet, the other countries in the Eastern Continent that had established ties with the Yu Nation also learned the news online and created a great stir.

“Above first-grade, suspected to be Martial Sage!”

“New Chu’s Martial Sage harbors ill intentions. What is his motive in holding a banquet for the Yu Nation’s new Martial Sage?”

“Who is the old Martial Sage of the Yu Nation? And who is the new Martial Sage?”

“Shocking! An all-out war is about to break out between the New Chu Nation and the Yu Nation!”

“The legend of the Martial Sages that you don’t know!”

“Let’s find out what a Martial Sage is! And why is a Martial Sage described as Kingdom Defending?”

…

All kinds of headlines appeared on the Internet of the other countries in the Eastern Continent.

The more it spread, the more ridiculous it became. Even news like “Yu Nation has been destroyed by New Chu Nation” was released.

In the Internet cafe, Su Jingxing opened dozens of web pages and quickly browsed through the information.

At the end, he realized that no one mentioned the words “void world”, “monster”, “disaster”. Even if they did appear, they quickly disappeared.

After some thought, he realized that the officials had stepped into regulate comments.

Since the words “Martial Sage” and “Kingdom Defending Martial Sage” had been exposed and could not be erased, they would guide the discussion towards conflict between the two nations.

The citizens of the Yu Nation knew of the New Chu Nation’s wild ambitions. They were especially hostile towards the upper echelons of the New Chu Nation, especially the imperial family, the Xiang Family.

The commotion caused by New Chu’s Martial Sage immediately increased the hatred.

Anyone with normal intelligence could tell that New Chu’s Martial Sage was up to no good.

Filled with a common hatred, many people even logged into recruitment websites to join the army and fight the New Chu Nation.

On Earth Star, where martial arts flourished, the people were never afraid of war.

Not to mention that the Yu Nation was powerful and had many experts. They had always been ranked in the top three of the Eastern Continent.

War?

Who fears who?!

Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. At the same time, his heart tensed up.

Although the entire country was shocked, it did not cause a widespread panic. Instead, it united the people.

All in all, the situation was still good. Public opinion was under official control.

Apart from some conspirators and ambitious people with ulterior motives, most people were on the side of the Yu Nation’s new Martial Sage.

As the person involved, Su Jingxing felt heavy pressure coming at him.

Su Jingxing had to attend New Chu’s Martial Sage banquet.

If he didn’t, he would have lost before the fight began, not to mention that New Chu’s Martial Sage would come knocking on his door the next day.

If New Chu’s Martial Sage really came knocking on their door and made a move, it would only bring great trouble to the Yu Nation.

Even if they were to get physical, they could only do so at sea.

New Chu’s Martial Sage also knew this, so the banquet was held on Giant Shark Island.

This was because he knew very well that provocation was provocation. If he forced Su Jingxing into a corner and his Essence Soul entered the New Chu Nation to cause trouble, it would also cause large-scale casualties.

Basically, the Kingdom Defending Martial Sages of the various nations would not rashly enter the territories of other nations.

The function of the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal would only be effective in the air above their native territory.

At this point, taking action was unavoidable.

What Su Jingxing had to consider was how to remain undefeated under the pressure of New Chu’s Martial Sage.

He could not win nor could he lose.

Of course, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t win either.

To Su Jingxing, a draw was his greatest victory!

…

Yu Nation’s capital.

Cabinet.

The members rushed over and gathered in the conference hall.

Thump thump!

The Prime Minister knocked on the table and said calmly, “Share your views, everyone. How should we handle this?”

“I just want to know about the old Martial Sage,” the Supreme Marshal of the military replied indifferently. “New Chu’s Martial Sage said that we have a new Martial Sage. What about the old Martial Sage?”

“Dead, I guess.”

A Deputy Prime Minister said calmly, “When the self-combustion case happened last time, I already suspected that the old Martial Sage was unwell. When the wind disaster broke out, I was even more certain that something had happened to him. As expected, the two disasters that were eventually resolved thanks to the new Martial Sage!”

“That’s right. There’s a 99% chance that the old Martial Sage is already dead. The new Martial Sage will replace him and become the new protector of the Yu Nation. That’s why the New Chu’s Martial Sage came knocking on our door.”

“In that case, we… no longer need to be wary of the Xia Family?”

“Needless to say, regardless of whether the old Martial Sage is dead or not, the Xia Family’s good days are over!”

“Hehe…”

Excitement filled the conference hall.

“Cough…”

The Prime Minister held back his laughter and coughed lightly. He said calmly, “Let’s put everything else aside for now. What we need to discuss now is what we need to do since New Chu’s Martial Sage Chu has invited our new Martial Sage to a banquet.”

“That’s simple. Just send troops to the borders!”
