Chapter 1284 It's Hard to Be a Good Person, Speedrun (5k)

The old man with flower-like hair took the phone and materials for spells from Inverted Triangle Eyes.

He felt that Inverted Triangle Eyes indeed needed to calm down. In the last thirty years, from humans to different races, the most arrogant one hadn’t dared to openly attack someone sitting in the front row of the Scorching Sun Department.

Indeed, it diverted attention. No mistake, because the Scorching Sun Department only has one option — a quick response, a heavy blow.

There’s no need to consider the possibility that the Scorching Sun Department wouldn’t retaliate. If they react even a little slowly or not fiercely enough, the prestige they’ve built over the last twenty or thirty years would take a hit.

“Do you think I was wrong?” Inverted Triangle Eyes was still a bit unhappy, feeling he wasn’t wrong.

“No, I didn’t say you were wrong, I just feel you’ve lost control. You think we’ve lost control over Wen Yan, and that’s why you’re willing to go to any lengths to eliminate him. I feel you’ve lost control, so I’m letting you cool off for a bit. Do you think there’s a problem?”

“…”

Inverted Triangle Eyes had nothing to say, given the current situation, it’s indeed not suitable to have double standards.

The man with flower-like hair turned around and left, walking all the way to a cliffside, where he reached out and gently tapped the cliff. The cliff transformed into a quaint wooden door, and he pushed it open and entered.

He picked up a large black umbrella by the door, opened it, and with a step, found himself in a courtyard.

It was drizzling lightly here, peaceful, with mist lingering outside the walls, making everything unclear. The vaguely visible things seemed like a hazy landscape painting often seen in the South during spring.

Carrying the umbrella, he walked past the second door, arriving at the main room. Standing a little over two meters from the door, he softly recounted today’s events.

After speaking, he waited for a long time without any response, so he turned and left.

When he reached the front courtyard and continued to look into the distance, he suddenly noticed a spot on the wall where rain was not falling.

He was slightly surprised, but upon a closer look, saw that rain was falling normally there, and the wall was wet.

He remained silent for a moment, said nothing, and exited through the main door, closing it behind him.

The wooden door reverted to a stone wall, and the man let out a long sigh.

Something had happened, the person inside was injured, showing a flaw.

Moreover, the injury seemed to have affected their foundation for such a situation to occur.

He said, after all, that failing to plan is planning to fail. Acting rashly doesn’t yield good results.

When there are no issues, everyone listens to advice.

But when problems arise, everyone acts impulsively.

Doesn’t he know, that the emergence of the current Scorching Sun is a big trouble?

But his intelligence channels have confirmed the news.

The contemporary Scorching Sun is a peculiar anomaly, with exceptional martial arts talent but no cultivation talent at all.

His intelligence is very precise, and he also knows that last time, an elder from Fuyu Mountain specifically borrowed the Celestial Sword Master’s sword just to take advantage of the situation.

The Scorching Sun Department also fueled the situation, and the Old Celestial Master should also be aware and tacitly approved this method.

Unfortunately, that time, Wen Yan didn’t succeed.

It was almost like a death sentence, as Wen Yan was the type with no cultivation talent at all.

If he had even a hint of talent, given the abundant resources and even being the sword holder for the Old Celestial Master’s big altar, it would be unlikely to be of no use at all.

Wen Yan’s martial arts talent and cultivation talent are polar opposites. Exceptional in martial arts, extremely poor in cultivation.

Such a situation has occurred before, and considering Wen Yan’s past as an ordinary person, a focus on martial arts is quite normal.

For the contemporary Scorching Sun, choosing between martial arts or cultivation is two different concepts for many people.

If he had excellent cultivation talent, he might not have lived till now.

Within three days of being discovered and news starting to leak, he might have died without anyone knowing the reason.

There are plenty of people who don’t want a Scorching Sun with good cultivation talent to appear in this world.

But just concentrating on martial arts, then at least ninety-five percent of these people don’t care.

Everyone knows what the ceiling for martial arts looks like.

Counting the stages alone, there are just five stages, with the sixth being only half a step.

Even if there are truly Sixth Stage martial artists, compared to the ceiling of cultivation with the Old Celestial Master, it’s… incomparable.

No one would compare it, as it would show a lack of intelligence…

Even though the martial arts stages or realms do not directly correlate with actual combat power,

the upper limit of each stage still remains clear.

Even Tuoba Martial God, many people now believe he is a professional, not just a simple martial artist.

Rumors also spread that Wen Yan is Tuoba Martial God, and his flower-haired peers have studied it, comparing movements, and it seems quite plausible.

Moreover, if Wen Yan, bearing the Scorching Sun, developed something new based on it, allowing the Yang energy to cover an area with a diameter of tens of kilometers, it’s not entirely impossible.

The man with flower-like hair thinks it’s unlikely and feels it’s information deliberately released to mislead.

Wen Yan does have abundant Yang energy, which is true, but nobody finds it unusual.

The flower-haired man had met a few people secretly and discussed it, all feeling that Wen Yan being the contemporary Scorching Sun is indeed not a concern.

Even the high-level members of the Scorching Sun Department, whatever they plan, they actually know too.
