435: Section 435
Martial Arts Alliance headquarters.
Meeting room.
Old Yao and the other four guardians have all arrived here.
The missing people, besides Elder Yi, are also Elder Zhao Jian of the Zhao Family in Xingtai City.
Like General Yi Nanshan, he has also departed to guard the Forbidden Zone Battlefield.
Currently, there are five people left in the meeting room, including Old Yao.
Their faces are serious, and their brows are tightly furrowed.
Naturally, this is because they feel an unprecedented crisis due to the Yao Beast invasion of the city last night.
Chapter 298: Let the body in its twilight years ignite on the battlefield
"Everyone, the situation in the Forbidden Zone is critical right now!"
"A large number of Yao Beasts are constantly attacking the Restrictions!"
"The battlefields guarded by General Yi Nanshan and Zhao Jian are still under control!"
"But the other five major battlefields are all struggling!"
"I believe everyone is aware of the Yao Beast invasion of the city last night!"
"I brought you all here today because I want to discuss what we should do."
Silence lasted for a long time.
Old Yao was the first to speak.
Given the current grim situation, even if he hadn't brought these people here, the others would probably not have been able to sit still anyway.
"Is this even something to discuss? We each have our own assigned battlefields."
"The situation at the battlefields is critical now; those Yao Beasts are acting like they've gone mad, constantly attacking the Restrictions!"
"Once the Restrictions are destroyed, the consequences are unimaginable. I suggest we each go to our respective battlefields to suppress them!"
"As for the Yao Beasts encountered in each city, let the Martial Suppression Bureau and the Monster Hunting Bureau handle them!"
"As long as there is no chaos in the battlefields and the defensive lines do not collapse, there is still hope!"
At this moment, an old man spoke up.
After he finished speaking, the other two people also nodded in agreement.
Given the current situation, ensuring that the Forbidden Zone Battlefield does not fall is the most important thing.
As for the invading Yao Beasts in the cities, they would be handled by the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Martial Suppression Bureau, so they wouldn't cause any major disasters.
Otherwise, if they only focused on the situation in the cities while ignoring the major battlefields, that would be the real crisis.
Old Yao nodded: "That's right, I agree with what Elder Han said!"
"Everyone here is a guardian of a battlefield; these are our duties to begin with!"
"Now that the situation in the battlefields is unclear, it is time for us to end our retirement and head to the battlefields to stand guard!"
"However, before that, I still need to meet with the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Martial Suppression Bureau!"
The others also nodded in agreement.
And just at this moment, an old man said again: "Elder Yao, I want to ask one thing: what stage has our White Tiger Martial God grown to now?"
"With those Yao Beasts and exotic beasts in the Forbidden Zone getting restless, we don't have much time to wait for him to slowly grow up!"
Old Yao's gaze fell on the person speaking, and he said with a smile: "So, according to Elder Han, what should we do? Should we re-select someone to replace the Martial God? Or…"
"The Martial God is chosen by destiny; how can he be replaced by others? What I mean is... even though the Martial God hasn't finished growing!"
"He must surely possess the might of the Martial God!"
"If we take him to the battlefield, could it deter those Yao Beasts and exotic beasts?"
"As long as we can deter them, even if it delays things for another two or three years, it would give us a chance to catch our breath!"
After Elder Han finished speaking, the others also looked at Old Yao.
As a result, Old Yao couldn't help but laugh.
"Elder Han, I understand what you mean. Using the might of the Martial God to suppress those Yao Beasts and exotic beasts—not to mention whether this method will actually work!"
"If you want to take the Martial God away, I'm afraid you'd need the consent of the Martial Suppression Bureau and the Yi Family, right?"
"Old Yi is currently at the Southeast Battlefield, so he might not be able to attend to matters here!"
"But what about He Jianguo? Who is going to persuade him?"
After Old Yao finished speaking, the guardians present all fell silent.
He Jianguo's deterrence was still very significant to them.
He was naturally someone who protected his own; as long as it concerned their Martial Suppression Bureau, outsiders had no right to point fingers, and they couldn't even criticize them.
Currently, the Martial Suppression Bureau's main energy is entirely focused on protecting Lin Yi.
Nothing is more important than Lin Yi's safety.
If they proposed taking Lin Yi to the Forbidden Zone Battlefield at this time to suppress those Yao Beasts in the capacity of the Martial God, no one knew if this method would work.
But if they really let Lin Yi go there, he would definitely be in danger.
Could He Jianguo agree? Could the Martial Suppression Bureau agree?
Even if General Yi Nanshan, who is currently at the Southeast Battlefield, knew about it, he would probably flip out, right?
No one could bear this consequence.
Whether it was the Martial Suppression Bureau or General Yi Nanshan, no one could withstand their wrath.
Moreover, Lin Yi now has the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain behind him.
Although the Old Celestial Master rarely comes down the mountain to participate in worldly affairs, if he found out that his disciple had been sent to the Forbidden Zone Battlefield to deter those Yao Beasts, would he agree?
If he were to come down the mountain personally to hold these old fogies accountable, who could take responsibility for that?
For a moment, no one spoke.
Old Yao's gaze swept over them one by one.
A cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. In fact, Old Yao had already thought about everything they had just said.
It wouldn't work. It simply wouldn't work.
Not to mention whether Lin Yi could actually deter those Yao Beasts, the Martial Suppression Bureau, Longhu Mountain, and the entire Yi Family behind him were not forces they could contend with.
Forcibly taking Lin Yi away would be equivalent to offending these factions all at once.
After all, the current Lin Yi has not yet reached the ability to participate in the Forbidden Zone Battlefield.
Only by becoming a true Martial God could he deter those Yao Beasts.
After a long while, Old Yao sighed softly.
"The situation is not as serious as you imagine, and it has not yet reached the brink of the defensive lines collapsing!"
"Everyone, the Forbidden Zone Battlefield concerns our survival!"
"This battle may last for a long time, perhaps until the day he truly grows into a Martial God!"
"Therefore, this is a protracted war. As guardians, it is time for us to put our remaining strength to use!"
"Let us, with our bodies in their twilight years, ignite on the battlefield!"
"To be wrapped in horse hide upon death—why is that not a glorious honor?"
After Old Yao finished speaking, the other guardians all had reddened eyes.
At their age, being able to go to the battlefield to fight is a rare honor for them.
They all nodded: "Hahaha, Old Yao is right. Being able to put our fading bodies to use on the battlefield is not a life lived in vain all these years!"
"Then let's set off. I will head to the battlefield tomorrow!"
"Everyone, I will set off tonight!"
"Old fellows, after the battlefield has calmed down, we must all return without a single one missing!"
"That is for certain. Not one can be missing; everyone must come back alive!"
The old men in the meeting room all looked at each other.
In their eyes, there was no panic, no fear, and even less hesitation.
What was there instead was a touch of firmness and determination.
