"Where is this?"
Qin Feng looked around and asked.
"It's a base of the Dragon Bureau, seems to be called 'Dragon Valley Base'."
The Heavenly River Taoist replied.
It turns out that after Qin Feng destroyed Nanshan Residence with "Dragon Roar," he fainted from exhaustion.
Weng Zhiru brought him here to ensure his survival.
"How long have I been sleeping here?" Qin Feng asked.
"Three days."
"That long? Then I must go back!"
He said as he struggled to get out of bed.
He was anxious to know how his wife Xu Yunxiao was doing, whether she was scared by Qing.
"Master, without their orders, we're afraid we can't get out..."
The Heavenly River Taoist said.
"As long as there's a door, there's no place I can't leave."
Qin Feng replied.
Inside the base meeting room.
Yin Chuan, Weng Zhiru, and dozens of senior officials of the Dragon Bureau were fiercely debating something.
They had been discussing for three days and nights, still with no conclusion.
"I still suggest that Qin Feng must face the harshest punishment!" one elderly man said, his face somber.
He was one of the elders of the Dragon Bureau, Elder Fei, although he currently holds no position, major decisions typically pass through the Elder Council.
"Elder Fei, absolutely not!!"
Yin Chuan opposed again, saying, "He is our fifth War God; he destroyed the Deuterium Emperor, crushed the Dark Gate, assisted the Southern Domain Army in eliminating the Black Flag Army, exterminated the Water Monster, and resolved the major crisis between the East Sea and Nansha Island Domain. He has just accomplished such great feats; how can he be subjected to the harshest punishment and have everyone accept this?"
"Acceptance?"
Elder Fei snorted coldly and said, "You achieved merits and then you freely kill people; does this get acceptance?? Do you know how killing Nanshan Duke impacts the Dragon Bureau, how significant it is to the country?"
Yin Chuan, with reddened eyes, was about to argue.
But Weng Zhiru pulled him back.
Weng Zhiru sighed lightly.
The impact was indeed huge.
Firstly.
Nanshan Duke, or rather the Hidden World forces of Nanshan Residence, is a significant power.
Rumor has it that over the past three years, their Hidden World forces, to avenge Nanshan Duke, have also joined the war in the Four Great Armies, edly nearly destroyed the West Earth Army near Kunlun, causing heavy losses and continuous setbacks.
The initially tense battlefield is now even tenser.
Secondly.
Members of the Dragon Group, White Lion Group, and others, from Nanshan Residence, now crazily want revenge on Qin Feng.
Although they are not Qin Feng's match.
But they have all genuinely made contributions to the nation; if we can't explain this to them, it will chill the hearts within the Dragon Bureau.
Most critically, one disciple of Nanshan Duke is among the Five Great Generals.
This matter has also reached his ears.
The strength of a famous general could be considered the pinnacle of the Dragon Bureau, even surpassing the War God.
He is currently overseas on a special mission.
If the handling of this matter also disappoints him, the consequences are unimaginable.
Thirdly.
If not handled well.
It may be branded as "ungrateful."
Domestic financial groups that support the Dragon Bureau, one can imagine how they might treat the Dragon Bureau afterward.
Fourthly.
Although the matter was Qing's fault.
But wiping out the whole Nanshan Residence is truly shocking and has already garnered national attention.
In short.
If Qin Feng is protected, it will be very detrimental to the future of the Dragon Bureau.
However, if the harshest punishment is imposed on Qin Feng, he has just accomplished great feats.
Difficult choice.
After stopping Yin Chuan, Weng Zhiru spoke: "Elder Fei, dear elders, please allow me to say a few words."
"Old Weng, go ahead."
Elder Fei said.
He knew that Weng Zhiru had never liked Qin Feng ever since he was nominated as War God.
Weng Zhiru lit a cigarette and said: "First, I completely agree with Elder Fei—merit does not offset wrongdoing. Qin Feng may have accomplishments, but wrong is wrong, and that cannot be excused; one cannot kill and commit arson just because one has achievements."
"Exactly!"
Elder Fei and others nodded.
Yin Chuan heard this, angrily wanting to punch Weng Zhiru but was firmly restrained by others.
Then Weng Zhiru continued: "But in this matter, Qing was wrong."
"Yes, Qing was wrong, but he went too far!" Elder Fei said.
"Therefore, my point is, he should indeed be punished, but the fault is not only his, so there's no need for the harshest punishment for him." Weng Zhiru said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Fei furrowed his brows, displeased, and was about to speak again.
But Weng Zhiru continued: "Elder Fei, dear elders, I want to ask a question."
"Ask."
"The reason why everyone wants to use the harshest punishment for Qin Feng is ultimately for the future of the Dragon Bureau, right?" Weng Zhiru asked.
"Of course! Any decision is made with the greater picture in mind!"
Elder Fei said.
This was indeed the case.
Only by imposing the harshest punishment on Qin Feng could the members of Dragon Group, White Lion Group, Special Forces, and one of the Five Great Generals from Nanshan Residence be assured, and it was only this way that those who had always supported the Dragon Bureau would be assured.
Everything was for the future development of the Dragon Bureau.
"But have you considered the current state of the Dragon Bureau?" Weng Zhiru asked again.
Mentioning the current state of the Dragon Bureau.
Not only Elder Fei, but everyone could not help but furrow their brows and sigh heavily.
The Dragon Bureau now is too wretched!
The once-proud Tiger Shark Team, White Lion Group, Jiufeng Team, Red Dragon Team, and Dragon Group now appear entirely insignificant in the face of the reality where many powerful Hidden World practitioners invade the Mortal World.
The Four Great Armies, millions of soldiers, seem so weak in front of those major Hidden World powers.
While the top experts of the Dragon Bureau and the Five Great Generals fight overseas.
The Dragon Bureau now is just like an elderly patient nearing the end, ready to collapse at any moment.
"Let me speak!"
Weng Zhiru spoke again, saying, "If we maintain the current state, our Dragon Bureau...can't last three months!!"
With this.
Everyone's hearts tightened involuntarily.
Though they wished to refute him.
His words were undeniably true.
Although the Southern Domain Army won a victory and the major threat in the East Sea is no more, the most pressing crisis now is with the Northern Border Army and West Earth Army.
But everyone knows they are already at the end of their strength.
Relying on the Southern Domain Army's support for a turnaround is extremely difficult!
The root cause.
Is that the opponent is the Hidden World Practitioner!
Additionally.
Weng Zhiru manages all the resources for the Dragon Bureau.
The Dragon Bureau has long been impoverished, its deficits persistent, which is also the main reason it can't hold on!
"Therefore..."
Weng Zhiru continued, "Elder Fei, the insistence on severe punishment for Qin Feng for the greater picture and the future of the Dragon Bureau is essentially just fooling around."
"But..."
Elder Fei was about to speak again but was cut off by Weng Zhiru.
Weng Zhiru continued further: "Elder Fei, dear elders of the Council, and commanders, the Dragon Bureau's only hope for survival now is one hope!"
"Oh??"
Elder Fei and others looked towards him.
Given the current situation, could the Dragon Bureau still have hope?
"That hope is Qin Feng!"
Weng Zhiru said one word at a time.
