75: Chapter 75 Have I been officially recognized by the enemy country?
Sitting in the military hovercar, Lin Feng and General Yan Xiao soon arrived at a concealed military fortress on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
Lin Feng had just been to this place a few days ago.
Passing through layers of heavily guarded security gates, the two men walked briskly into a spacious underground meeting hall.
Opposite them at the conference table sat two short, mean-looking middle-aged men with an arrogant air.
Just looking at their punchable faces, one could tell they were definitely not from the Great Xia Alliance.
"The one on the left is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Red Sun Empire, and the one on the right is his deputy."
General Yan Xiao lowered his voice and reminded Lin Feng, "They will definitely try to pin labels on us and lecture you later; just go through the motions and handle it."
With the entire Great Xia Alliance as a towering tree to lean on, the Red Sun Empire's delegation could at most just enjoy some lip service.
The military was long used to this kind of drama.
"System, scan the strength of these two guys opposite me." Lin Feng muttered in his heart.
"Ding! Analyzing..."
"Target 1: Laiyuan (8th-Order God)!"
"Target 2: Yoshino (Tier 7 Deity)!"
Good grief!
Lin Feng was slightly startled.
He had only killed two Tier 6 and one Tier 5 small fry outside.
The Red Sun Empire had actually sent an 8th-Order God to collect debts!
"You are Lin Feng?"
Seeing Lin Feng enter, the lecherous-looking man in the lead, Laiyuan, instantly pulled a long face, his tone extremely hostile.
Thanks to the advanced simultaneous interpretation equipment of the Main World, Lin Feng heard this foreign language clearly.
"Just a few days ago, my Red Sun Empire's expedition team sent back a top-secret report. They claimed that you viciously ambushed them, not only destroying their exclusive plane but also forcibly seizing a Tier 6 continent they were about to conquer!"
As an 8th-Order God, Laiyuan immediately came at him aggressively to demand an explanation.
Ambush? Forcibly seizing a continent? It was truly the traditional skill of the Red Sun Empire.
They took the initiative to seize the moral high ground from the start, dumping all the dirty water onto others.
"That's right! Today, your Great Xia Alliance must give an explanation! Otherwise, it is a blatant violation of the peace treaty signed by all parties!"
The deputy, Yoshino, also chimed in, using the power of his superior to intimidate him.
It was clear that the other party had come in a group to extort them today.
"I ambushed them?" Lin Feng almost laughed out loud.
Reasoning with this bunch of scoundrels was a complete waste of saliva.
"Cut the crap, what kind of explanation do you want?" Lin Feng asked directly.
"What kind of explanation?" Laiyuan twitched his mouth, revealing a sinister grin.
"According to international convention, I should directly destroy your cultivation and drain your exclusive plane!"
"However, considering this is your first offense, as long as you kowtow to admit your mistake in public and compensate us with a few high-tier elemental cores, we can consider letting you off the hook."
...
The dagger was finally revealed! They really had come to extort benefits!
Directly cripple the cultivation of a genius? The Great Xia Alliance military would never sit idly by, and the top brass of the Red Sun Empire weren't that stupid either.
After all, in this meat grinder of the Outer Realm Battlefield, the death of a few gods was even more common than the death of a few ants.
The other party simply wanted to use the deaths of a few cannon fodder to scrape a layer of fat off the Great Xia Alliance.
"Fine, we can consider negotiating."
General Yan Xiao, sitting beside him, nodded along with the conversation.
Clearly, General Yan Xiao was long accustomed to this kind of bickering and interest exchange.
Using some inconsequential resources to resolve the matter was standard procedure to keep the peace.
"Fine?"
"Fine my ass!"
Lin Feng suddenly raised his voice, cutting General Yan Xiao's words off abruptly.
General Yan Xiao: "..."
"Hmm? What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Laiyuan's expression changed abruptly, his eyes instantly turning gloomy.
"You want me to kowtow and apologize? And you want to take elemental cores for free?"
"How about you just kowtow to me a few times and compensate me with a few cores instead? I wouldn't mind that at all."
Lin Feng crossed his arms, looking at the other party with a face full of mockery.
No money, and no life to give.
Trying to take things from my pocket is just a daydream.
Inside the meeting hall, it instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Even the experienced General Yan Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
What happened to just going through the motions? How is this kid harder than a rock!
"Outrageous! Simply arrogant to the extreme!"
Laiyuan, having reacted, was furious, his face trembling with rage.
He had intended to just intimidate them a bit and leave after getting some benefits.
Now, he really had the intention to kill, wanting to wipe out this ignorant kid right on the spot!
Boom!
The terrifying pressure of an 8th-Order God swept across the entire hall in an instant like a volcanic eruption.
This destructive aura was too much even for General Yan Xiao, who was a Tier 7, forcing him to retreat several steps.
Between high-tier gods, even a single rank difference meant the difference between clouds and mud in terms of strength.
This gap was not only reflected in the foundation of their planes but also in their ability to interfere with the real world.
Once an 8th-Order expert got truly angry, they absolutely possessed terrifying destructive power capable of overturning mountains and seas.
Lin Feng frowned, his muscles tense.
He clearly hadn't expected this old thief to dare to openly attack within the core military zone of the Great Xia Alliance.
At this critical, hair-trigger moment, a supreme majesty, far more terrifying than Laiyuan's and capable of crushing the firmament, instantly enveloped the entire military fortress!
This majesty descended extremely swiftly and tyrannically.
Laiyuan's 8th-Order aura, which he was so proud of, was like paper in front of this power, instantly shattered in a destructive sweep!
"A 9th-Order expert!"
"It's him!"
The two envoys from the Red Sun Empire had their expressions change wildly, terrified, and quickly withdrew all their spiritual power.
The arrogant and domineering demeanor from just a moment ago turned into something more docile and humble than a pug in the blink of an eye.
The speed at which they changed their faces was ten times faster than turning a page.
"General Yan, you see it clearly now. Reasoning with this bunch is useless; relying on fists is the most practical."
Looking at the two terrified men, Lin Feng leisurely waved his fist.
General Yan Xiao quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It had almost triggered a cross-border bloodbath just now. Fortunately, Elder Long released his aura in time to suppress the situation.
However, this bunch of bastards from the Red Sun Empire were indeed too arrogant.
In recent years, these bandits often set ambushes in the Outer Realm Battlefield to hunt down newcomers from Great Xia, and afterwards, they put on the face of innocent victims, which was absolutely disgusting.
Although he couldn't say it openly due to his status, Lin Feng's merciless confrontation today made all the Great Xia officers present secretly cheer in their hearts!
"Hmph! You brat, just you wait! When I return to my country, I will immediately put you on the Red Sun Empire's highest-level wanted list!"
"I hope you stay in your shell for the rest of your life and never run into our Red Sun Empire's expeditionary army on the Outer Realm Battlefield!"
Laiyuan and Yoshino's faces turned bright red.
After dropping a few harsh words that were weak in substance, they tucked their tails and scurried out of the meeting hall.
"Oh my, have I been officially wanted by an enemy nation?"
Lin Feng was not panicked at all; instead, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He was just worrying about not finding an excuse to swallow up other people's rich planes in the future; now, he didn't even need to find a reason to act.
"Sigh..."
General Yan Xiao helplessly patted Lin Feng on the back.
"Although your actions just now were very unruly, but... that was damn satisfying!"
"Let's go, Elder Long is still waiting to see you in the secret room upstairs."
A few minutes later, Lin Feng followed General Yan Xiao out of the hall and came to a quiet room with a very high security level.
Elder Long was sitting upright on a solid wood sofa, smiling as he watched Lin Feng, who had pushed the door open and entered.
"Little guy, to be able to stand up to the deathly pressure of an 8th-Order God and hold your ground—it really is just like you."
