Chapter 261: The King of Routines

"I, Wang Feng, am the mole of the Nine Gods, Dandelion!"

As Old Wang's words rang out, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent, as if all present had been struck dumb, their expressions frozen in shock...

Though the Holy War ended many years ago, the cold war between the two sides never ceased, and moles were to be ground into dust!

Winnie and Fantasi’s mouths dropped open in disbelief. What kind of crazy move was this???

This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go. Winnie’s mind exploded with confusion. As a member of the Li family, she found this situation extremely troubling. Clearly, Dharma Master intended to use this opportunity to settle things once and for all, and Old Wang actually dared to admit it in public?

"This is like getting mud stuck in your pants," Fantasi muttered, "Is Ah Feng out of his mind?"

The Eightfold Assembly was also stunned, especially Mo Tong. He had expected Wang Feng to say something shocking, but this was beyond what he had imagined, “I always said he had issues, and you didn’t believe me. This is it!”

"This can't be! Senior Brother Wang Feng must have been forced!" Yin Fu stood up, her face pale.

Just as she was about to step forward, Longmoer frowned and said coolly, "Yin Fu, sit down."

Hei Wu Kai smiled, “Yin Fu, don’t panic. I know Old Wang; he must have a plan.”

But honestly, even Hei Wu Kai couldn’t figure out what that plan might be, while Lucky Heaven, masked and expressionless, gave no hint of her thoughts.

The one truly anxious was Li Sitan. Wang Feng’s move was too explosive. He wanted to support Wang Feng no matter what, but how could he now?

Karida’s face darkened instantly, her gaze heavy. She had been pondering what Wang Feng intended to do yesterday, but she never imagined he would expose himself.

Don’t expect him to claim he has reformed; the League of Blades would never trust a spy of the Nine Gods. If you can betray the Nine Gods, you can betray the League of Blades again.

And don’t expect his contributions to count for much. In others’ eyes, the greater Wang Feng’s contributions, the more ambitious his true intentions must be!

Even with Karida's extensive battle experience, she felt a sense of despair now, and Blue Sky was ready to intervene, but she stopped him. It was too late; if they interfered now, it would be over completely.

Old Wang quietly savored the exhilaration of this all-encompassing explosion. Oh, being the protagonist, one must shine, he thought, not in a hurry to continue, letting the bullets fly for a while.

Damosi's lips curled into a cold smile after a brief moment of surprise. Wang Feng probably wanted to save himself, trying to buy his life with his contributions. Pitiful, tragic, lamentable!

This is the fate of ants.

The reporters from the Light of the Holy Sanctuary below had red, glowing eyes, staring intently at Wang Feng, not missing a single detail. At this moment, Wang Feng stood on the stage, at a loss, pale-faced, and with dim eyes, clearly revealing his true colors under the countless gazes of the Holy Sanctuary disciples.

Justice will prevail!

Feeling that the time was right, Old Wang puffed out his chest and waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. "Ahem, what I'm about to say is very important, so listen carefully!"

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Damosi's lips; it seemed there would be an internal conflict.

Blue Sky looked at Karida with some concern. Wang Feng acted without restraint; what if he put the Highness in a difficult position? But Karida showed no intention of acting, nor did she try to stop anyone.

Karida also watched Wang Feng. She was taking a gamble, not believing that Wang Feng would betray her to save his life, just as she didn't ask Wang Feng how he planned to handle the situation today. If... if she lost this bet, she would accept it.

Damosi stood up, gesturing for everyone to be quiet, then slowly turned to look at Wang Feng: "You can start now; this is your only chance to confess."

Old Wang's expression turned serious. "Today, I will confess. As a dandelion of the Nine Gods, I discovered a new rune, the Messenger of Thor, and thus received the Holy Sanctuary Medal!"

"As a dandelion of the Nine Gods, I invented a new potion, Eagle Eye, and thus received the Holy Sanctuary Medal!"

Whispers broke out among the crowd below, as rumors suggested that these were all provided by the Empire to gain his trust.

Old Wang paid no attention to the murmurs below, his voice suddenly growing louder. "As a dandelion of the Nine Gods, I eliminated five assassins from the Nine Gods' Wild Groups, personally killing two of them, and incidentally dismantled the entire Aurora City's Pu Ye Mi. Luo Lan, who is now the special envoy of the Nine Gods, Long Luo, was captured by me!"

This matter has been the subject of some rumors, but due to its low-profile handling, most people were unaware, and the scene erupted instantly.

But Wang Feng’s voice was even louder, and at this moment, presence was crucial. "As the dandelion of the Nine Gods, I, Wang Feng, traveled a thousand miles to the Ice Spirit Kingdom, pretending to be Princess Xue Zhiyu’s fiancé, to dismantle the Ice Bee conspiracy orchestrated by the Nine Gods Empire and the Dark Hall against the Ice Spirit Kingdom. Alongside countless warriors, I defended the League of Blades’ soul crystal warehouse, and when the princess was besieged by the Ice Bees, it was I who rushed in to save her. Sorry, but as a mere dandelion, I’m about to receive another Holy Sanctuary Medal!"

Wang Feng’s voice was piercing, his eyes filled with sorrow and anger. The entire venue fell silent, even the whispers ceased. Wang Feng secretly pinched his leg, his lips twitching slightly to make his expression even more mournful.

Everyone realized something was off. Where had they seen such an undercover agent? If all undercover agents were like this, the Nine Gods would be doomed.

However, there were still some who refused to believe it. This was the terrifying aspect of rumors; once someone formed a preconceived notion, anything said could be wrong.

Karida continued to watch Wang Feng’s performance calmly. It wasn’t enough yet, it was still lacking, but the crisis was already half-resolved. Knowing Wang Feng as she did, she was certain he wouldn’t stop here.

"Wang Feng, you’re lying! All of this is just to gain the trust of the Nine Gods Empire!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Wang Feng looked around. "Who was that speaking? Who says these techniques were given by the Nine Gods?"

Everyone searched, but no one stepped forward to claim responsibility.

Wang Feng waved his hand. "No need to look. I know there are people here today arranged by the Nine Gods. Very well, coincidentally, before Tor’s messengers, before the Eagle Eye, I invented them, and now they belong to the Nine Gods. So, I have another announcement to make. I, Wang Feng, during my journey to the Ice Spirit Kingdom, gained insights and discovered the method to fuse First Order, Second Order, and Third Order runes. Come on, everyone, let’s see if the Nine Gods can do this!"

The entire venue fell silent as everyone digested this news. The fusion of the first three levels of runes???

This was a problem that the Nine Gods and the League of Blades had spent a century trying to solve, and he had managed it???

"Come on, speak up! Who, and who else, can solve this?" Wang Feng suddenly roared, a thunderclap in the calm lake, making the entire venue buzz with noise. "Who can do it? Tell me, step forward, who can achieve this, and I’ll admit I’m a spy for the Nine Gods!"

Not just the ordinary Holy Sanctuary disciples, even some of the mentors present were dumbfounded. Wang Feng couldn’t possibly lie about something like this, the fusion of runes???

Suddenly, Wang Feng walked towards the Vice Principal, "Vice Principal Damos, can you do it?"

This conflict was no secret, and Wang Feng's sudden attack caught Damosi off guard; he hadn't expected Wang Feng to be so bold.

"Wang Feng, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you casually talk about fusing runes?"

Wang Feng smiled, "Vice Principal Damosi, your words are strange. When have I ever spoken without standing by my words? If I dare say it, I must be able to deliver. If I can't, I'll lose my head. But if I do, you won't claim that the Nine Gods Empire gave it to me, will you? Not that I look down on the Nine Gods, but with their limited skills, whether they can even understand what I've done is questionable. Or would you like to put your head on the line too?"

Instantly, all eyes were on Wang Feng and Damosi. Damosi had been in a high position for a long time, and even Karida treated him with respect. When had he ever encountered such a situation? If it were a fight, Damosi could have killed Wang Feng outright, but in a verbal battle, especially one that came out of nowhere, Damosi was at a disadvantage. He turned red with embarrassment as Wang Feng's words hit home.

Wang Feng showed a hint of disdain, turned around, and returned to the stage, "Some people don't think about promoting the spirit of the Holy Sanctuary; they only think about internal strife. I, Wang Feng, an ordinary disciple of the Rose Holy Sanctuary, am not afraid of any challenge!"

"Good!"

"Wang Feng is awesome!"

Someone started the chant, and soon the entire crowd was roused, the blood of all the young Holy Sanctuary members boiling. At this moment, Wang Feng looked up at a 45-degree angle, a hero, truly a hero!

Even Karida couldn't help but laugh, let alone Lantian. Could it be like this?

Looking at Damosi, he neither stood nor moved. Wang Feng's move was a direct hit to his heart, not accusing him of being from the Nine Gods, but implying that he was helping them.

Old Wang's face was filled with sorrow, but in his heart, he cursed. Trying to compete with me, I'll make sure you're dead.

Damosi's mind raced. He knew he had to counterattack now or it would be over. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he roared, "Silence! Wang Feng, this is your last desperate attempt. I ask you, as a mere second-year disciple of the Holy Sanctuary, how could you possibly master these things, even if you are a prodigy? The fusion of runes has been a problem that countless rune masters in the Blade have struggled with for a hundred years. Can you solve it just like that?!"

Those with broader perspectives knew that Damosi was panicking, because no amount of sponsorship for a spy could achieve this. The fusion of runes could significantly enhance national power; even a prince of the Nine Gods wouldn't be worth it. Clearly, there was something wrong with Damosi, but some of the younger Holy Sanctuary disciples, limited by their talent and jealousy, did indeed have doubts.

Wang Feng smiled slightly, "Vice Principal Damosi, sometimes I really wonder if you are the Vice Principal of the Holy Sanctuary or the Vice Principal of the Nine Gods. The fusion of runes can greatly enhance national power, and even a prince of the Nine Gods couldn't exchange for it. I didn't want to say this, but today I will thoroughly expose you and the Nine Gods' schemers. I, Wang Feng, am the last disciple of the former Headmaster Leilong, and also a junior to Princess Karida and Mentor Li Sitan. But I believe that what makes our Rose Holy Sanctuary unique is that we value talent, not connections. So I never told anyone, not wanting others to think I relied on my school. I am who I am, a unique spark. Every Holy Sanctuary disciple is unique, and we gather here for a common dream: to overthrow the Nine Gods!"

At this point, Damosi was completely hopeless. This guy could turn the dead into the living. He really is a spy for the Nine Gods, changing his background... But it was too late. He could claim it was to avoid exposing his identity, to rise from the bottom through his own efforts.

At this moment, all the disciples suddenly understood. No wonder Princess Karida trusted Wang Feng. In this era, everyone believed that lineage was a given. For Wang Feng to have such sentiments, he indeed endured much criticism. That's what makes a real man.

"Down with the Nine Gods, Wang Feng is mighty!" It was finally Fantasi's turn. Damn, Feng only gave him this one line, but it felt so good.

Xibasi's shout instantly ignited the entire crowd; young people always needed excitement and momentum.

"Down with the Nine Gods Empire!"

"The Nine Gods Empire has betrayed the pillars of our Blade, an unforgivable crime!"

"Those damned scoundrels, how dare they slander our President Wang Feng! President, we stand by you!"

The atmosphere quickly shifted, and many of the Rose disciples cheered, even the voices of Dage, Li Sitan, and others could be heard among them.

The reporters from the Light of the Holy Sanctuary were furiously taking notes. At this moment, everything seemed glorious, and perhaps in the future, it would be a significant chapter in the history of the Holy Sanctuary.

The crowd was agitated, filled with jubilation.

Meanwhile, Lantian had already surrounded Damosi and his group. "Vice Principal Damosi, please cooperate with the investigation!"

Damosi was about to resist, but the surrounding Holy Sanctuary disciples became even more agitated and shouted curses. Seeing Lantian's cold face, he suddenly sighed deeply. "You win."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Damosi was taken away. This incident would give him plenty to deal with.

Old Wang was delighted, winking at Karida with a smile. Karida understood; it was time for her to wrap things up.

Karida stepped onto the stage and gently raised her hand, even cracking a joke with a smile: "Just shouting won't bring down the Nine Gods!"

"On our path to growth and struggle, there will always be various obstacles and hardships. These will only make us stronger. I've said before, every disciple of the Rose Holy Sanctuary is unique. In the future, we will continue to work together, and the Holy Sanctuary will surely triumph!"

Dage's voice was modulated with passion and conviction, his summary speech bringing the monthly meeting to a perfect close.

Old Wang listened with great satisfaction. Dage was truly a master; he had taken over without any prior preparation, yet his response was seamless, aligning perfectly with the flow of thought.

What was this called? This was called a perfect partnership, a duo in perfect harmony...

Just as Old Wang was basking in the moment, Li Sitan couldn't wait to approach him. To Li Sitan, the idea of an undercover agent was nothing but nonsense. Wang Feng was a true genius in runes; if an undercover agent had such skill, the Blade would have fallen long ago.

"Junior Brother Wang Feng!" Li Sitan's face was brimming with anticipation and excitement: "Congratulations! I know it might not be the right time to bring this up, but..."

"Do you want to see it immediately?"

Li Sitan nodded eagerly; for a theory enthusiast like him, what could be more captivating than unraveling the age-old mystery?

"Needless to say!" Old Wang smiled. "Once we're done here, I'll let Senior Brother be the first to admire it."
