Swoosh.
Seeing that the Sage Manor had been razed to the ground in an instant, and not even Sage Batai’s corpse remained, all the martial artists, businessmen, and so on in the Golden Mountain City knelt on the ground and pleaded to Lin Feng.
The wrath of a Sage could rend apart the world and destroy cities with extreme ease. If Sage Lin Feng took his anger out on the entire Golden Mountain City in a fit of rage, none of them could escape this calamity.
Lin Feng swept his gaze and saw that everyone in the Golden Mountain City was kneeling on the ground. Be it martial artists or ordinary people, they were like ants before the power of a Sage, unable to resist at all.
At this moment, everyone clearly realized how terrifying the power of a Sage was!
Swoosh.
At some point, an airship flew over from the distant sky. An old man stepped out of the airship.
“Sage Lin Feng, Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Batai, stop!”
The old man was Sage Kang. Ever since the Invincible Fist Sage hung up on his call request, he had a bad premonition. Hence, he immediately took an airship and rushed to Golden Mountain City as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he did not seem to be too late.

Sage Kang saw the Invincible Fist Sage and Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng had already returned to his normal size. The Invincible Fist Sage did not emit any Astral Power either. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Sage Invincible, Sage Lin Feng, please stop. We can discuss anything at the Conference of Sages. Where’s Sage Batai?”
Only then did Sage Kang notice that the surroundings seemed a little off.
Sage Kang knew about the Sage Manor in Golden Mountain City, but now, the Sage Manor was in ruins, and Sage Batai had disappeared.
“Elder Kang, you’re too late. Batai is already dead!”
The Invincible Fist Sage said with a weak smile. Even if he wanted to kill Sage Batai, it was just a thought. He was on par with Sage Batai, and neither could do anything to the other. Even in a life-or-death battle, they would probably tie with each other.
However, with a single palm strike from Lin Feng, Batai was dead! Even he was deeply stunned.
“Batai is dead?”
Sage Kang seemed to be in disbelief. How could Sage Batai be dead? Even if Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage joined forces, it was impossible for them to kill Sage Batai.
Ever since Sages were born to humanity, not a single Sage had fallen.
But now, Batai was dead. Just like when he received the news of Lin Feng’s death, Sage Kang was dumbfounded.
“Look, that pool of blood is Batai’s.”
The Invincible Fist Sage pointed at an inconspicuous pool of blood in the ruins of the Sage Manor below. Not even the corpse remained of the dignified Sage, and only a pool of blood was left behind.
Sage Kang looked at Lin Feng and the Invincible Fist Sage with a complicated and desolate expression.
Dead. Sage Batai was dead. The first fallen Sage in human history had come to be. As someone who was dedicated to the “greater good” of the entire humanity, Sage Kang could not be happy about it, no matter what.
He was even faintly angered.
“Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Lin Feng, you’re both Sages. Can’t you consider the greater good?”

There was already a trace of anger in Sage Kang’s voice.
The Invincible Fist Sage frowned, but did not say anything.
Lin Feng’s gaze was indifferent. He suddenly pointed at everyone in Golden Mountain City and said calmly, “Sage Kang, look at these people kneeling on the ground. What do they take us for?
“Gods? Or perhaps some great existence that rules over everything about them! Their lives and their everything are dominated by us, but does that mean we can be high and mighty and make decisions for them?
“No matter how weak they are, they all have their own ideas. They are all free lives! Sage Kang, your greater good is to sacrifice the interests of the minority and take care of the interests of the so-called majority. You can sacrifice countless people who are weak in your eyes for the sake of a Sage.
“Your greater good is different from mine! My greater good is to protect my family, my loved ones, and everyone!”
With that, Lin Feng paid Sage Kang no more heed, and flew straight for the ruined Sage Manor below.
The Invincible Fist Sage went past Sage Kang. He opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end.
The gulf had already appeared, and it was simply impossible to repair. Moreover, the Invincible Fist Sage agreed with Lin Feng. If he could not even protect the people around him, how could he protect others?
The so-called greater good was absolutely not about sacrificing some people to preserve others.
Looking at Lin Feng’s figure, Sage Kang was thunderstruck. His expression became a little desolate.
All these years, taking care of the “greater good” had always been the foundation of his ideal. It was also for the “greater good” that he was able to establish the Conference of Sages, and was even willing to help other martial artists with potential.

However, for the “greater good”, he was also willing to sacrifice those who were irrelevant in his eyes.
“Could I really be wrong?” Sage Kang muttered softly.
Perhaps he was not wrong, and neither was Lin Feng. However, their ideals were completely irreconcilable.
Those with diverging ideals must go their separate ways!
Sage Kang looked at the ruined Sage Manor and heaved a long sigh. Then, he turned around and left.
…
Lin Feng descended into the ruins of the Sage Manor. What was formerly the most magnificent, spectacular, and luxurious manor in Golden Mountain City was reduced to ruins with a palm strike from Lin Feng.
Even the Guardian, the robot with the combat power of a Sage, had become a pile of scrap metal.
It had to be known that back when Lin Feng had undergone his second life transition, he had even fought with the Guardian. The two parties were almost evenly matched. Now, this robot could not even withstand a single palm strike from Lin Feng.
Although it was a pity that the Guardian had become a pile of scrap metal, Lin Feng was not too upset. It was just a robot with the combat power of a Sage. It was actually not as useful as he had thought.
“Huh?”
Lin Feng reached out and grabbed a chip from the ruins. It was the control core of the Guardian.
“Batai is only a Sage, and not even a scientific expert. How can he easily crack the control core of the Guardian? Moreover, Longbetham had set some tricks in it.”
What Lin Feng was concerned about was how Batai could take over the control core of the Guardian.
This was very strange. Apart from Longbetham, a mechanical life form from a high-level technological civilization in the universe, who else could take over the Guardian’s control core with ease in such a short period of time?
This in itself was very strange.
Unfortunately, Longbetham was not around now. Otherwise, he could immediately get Longbetham to check what went wrong with the Guardian’s control core.
There were not many things still intact in the ruins. Lin Feng scanned with his mental power and immediately found Sage Batai’s room in the Sage Manor.
“A communicator?”
Lin Feng made a grab and found a communicator from the wreckage. From the unique symbol on it, it was clearly Sage Batai’s communicator.
Fortunately, this communicator was not damaged at all. It could be considered a blessing amidst misfortunes.
However, next to the communicator was an exquisite badge that looked somewhat familiar. Lin Feng also took it.
“Huh?”
Seeing this badge, Lin Feng’s expression changed abruptly.
“Night Devil!”
Swoosh.
Seeing that the Sage Manor had been razed to the ground in an instant, and not even Sage Batai’s corpse remained, all the martial artists, businessmen, and so on in the Golden Mountain City knelt on the ground and pleaded to Lin Feng.
