Main meeting room of the National Defense Committee.

Holographic projections extended from the four walls to the floor, enveloping all attendees in a glow.

Duan Hongyuan's holographic image stood in the very center of the conference hall.

The image of the Skyhorn Clan formation was slowly scrolling on the projection behind him.

Heavy infantry, war behemoths, those colossal creatures carrying towers.

The breathing in the conference room was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But that sense of oppression was more deafening than any sound.

"...The above is the actual situation on the other side of the East China Sea rift."

Duan Hongyuan's voice was heavy.

"The footage was captured 47 minutes ago and was recorded in its entirety by the East China Sea frontline monitoring system."

He paused for a moment.

"My assessment is included in the data package, and you have all seen it."

No one responded.

Holographic images of more than a dozen of the Dragon Kingdom's top decision-makers were arranged on both sides.

Everyone's expression was frozen.

Duan Hongyuan continued.

"The vanguard of the Skyhorn Clan has been repelled, the Bone Bridge Formation has been destroyed, and the rift is currently unstable and cannot be traversed by large forces for the time being."

"But according to our assessment, the window of opportunity for them to repave the tunnel is at most two weeks."

"In other words..."

"We have at most two weeks to prepare."

After those words were spoken, there was finally some movement in the conference room.

"Two weeks..."

The old general from the Northwest Military Region finally raised his head. "What can you do in two weeks?"

Duan Hongyuan was about to speak.

"Wait a minute."

An aged voice came from the right side of the conference hall.

It was a slow and deliberate process, but everyone's attention instantly turned to it.

Wei Zheng.

One of the nine great elders.

His holographic image sat in the frontmost position on the right, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a composed demeanor.

"General Duan Hongyuan."

Wei Zheng raised his eyes. "Before discussing how to deal with it, I think we should first figure out one thing."

He put down his teacup.

What is the root cause of this crisis?

Duan Hongyuan's brows furrowed.

"Elder Wei, let's discuss this now..."

"It's very necessary."

Wei Zheng interrupted him, his tone still gentle.

"Only by knowing the cause can we predict the result. Gentlemen, please allow me to say a few words."

He stood up.

"How many years has the seal on the coast of Japan existed?" Wei Zheng's voice echoed in the conference hall. "Several hundred years. It has remained peaceful and undisturbed."

"Then why now of all times?"

He raised his hand.

"The answer is simple. Because someone broke the balance."

Duan Hongyuan clenched his fists.

Wei Zheng's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on a holographic image.

Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's projection was positioned in the corner of the conference hall.

He was still wearing his blood-stained combat uniform, and the blood on his face hadn't been wiped off yet.

The Nether Dragon nestled on his shoulder, its eyes closed.

Wei Zheng looked at him.

"Raymond Lam".

"You killed Fujiba Eiji, the leader of the Japanese martial arts world. With Fujiba Eiji's death, the seal on the coast of Japan collapsed, and a beast tide broke out."

"You destroyed the Bone Bridge Array, but instead of closing the cracks, they have expanded out of control."

"And the army of the Skyhorn Clan only appeared at the other end of the passage after the rift had expanded."

Wei Zheng spread his hands, his tone helpless.

"I am not seeking blame; I am merely stating the facts."

He turned to the other attendees.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cause and effect are right here."

"If no one goes to Japan and wreaks havoc, the seal will not break. If the seal doesn't break, the crack won't open. If the crack doesn't open, the army of the Celestial Horn Clan won't appear at our doorstep."

The atmosphere in the conference room changed.

Several people's gazes began to drift towards Lin Feng's direction.

Wei Zheng's voice continued.

"I understand that Lin Feng's intentions were good; he wanted to save people and protect the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom. But aren't there countless examples of good intentions gone wrong?"

"One person's recklessness has brought 1.4 billion people to the brink of extinction."

"How should this debt be settled?"

The doubts made the atmosphere at the scene very strange.

Representatives from several prominent families behind Wei Zheng made their remarks.

"Old Master Wei is absolutely right!"

"Raymond Lam is too ruthless and acts without considering the consequences!"

"The elders have guarded the Dragon Kingdom for hundreds of years. What storms haven't they weathered? Why didn't anything happen before? It's because there were rules in place!"

"He single-handedly disrupted a balance that had lasted for centuries!"

The sounds came one after another, as if they had been rehearsed.

Duan Hongyuan clenched his fist on the table, veins bulging.

"fart!"

His voice exploded.

"The seal was placed on Fujiba Eiji by Feng Yiling, the Imperial Advisor of Japan! He set a trap, kidnapped Chinese soldiers as hostages, and publicly executed them! What's wrong with Lin Feng going to rescue them?!"

"He's not going to rescue them, so you're just going to let him watch and do nothing?"

Wei Zheng shook his head.

"Which is more important, this or the safety of 1.4 billion people?"

Duan Hongyuan's teeth were grinding together.

"You fucking..."

"General Duan, watch your words."

Wei Zheng's tone remained calm throughout. "I am also heartbroken. But we must face reality."

He turned to the entire audience.

"Now, the alien army is pressing in, the rift is about to be opened, and the Dragon Kingdom faces the danger of annihilation. We must find a way to resolve this."

His gaze fell on Lin Feng again.

"Raymond Lam".

"Although you have made contributions, this time, your faults outweigh your merits."

Wei Zheng's voice boomed through the conference hall, each word ringing out.

"To quell the wrath of the foreign races, and for the lives of 1.4 billion people of the Dragon Kingdom..."

"I propose..."

"Hand Lin Feng over to the foreign race for disposal."

"Perhaps, this could bring about a sliver of peace."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Duan Hongyuan's holographic image suddenly stood up, the teacup in his hand falling to the ground and shattering everywhere.

"Wei Zheng! What did you say?!"

Lin Feng has not made any changes.

He stood in the corner the whole time, without saying a word.

The Nether Dragon perched on his shoulder, its eyes slightly open.

Until this moment.

Lin Feng took a step forward.

All the arguing in the meeting room stopped after this step.

His spiritual energy silently emanated from between his eyebrows.

That sense of mental pressure filled the entire conference hall.

Lin Feng spoke first: "Elder Wei."

"You just said you were going to hand me over?"

Wei Zheng's fingers tightened slightly around the teacup.

Lin Feng took another step.

"Then let me ask you."

"Who do you plan to have pay it?"

The meeting room was deathly silent.

"Everyone here."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

Where were you when the sea monsters charged up?

"Where were you when the Skyhorns attacked?"

Where were you when your soldiers died in battle?

No one answered.

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks.

"I went, I killed, I blocked the way."

"Now you sit here and tell me..."

"Am I guilty?"

He tilted his head and looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's lips moved slightly.

"What have you done all these years while guarding the Dragon Kingdom?"

"The intelligence about the rift was sent back half a month ago. How long have you held onto that record? Seven vetoes, claiming it was 'hallucination'?"

Lin Feng's voice sent chills down everyone's spine.

"When you suppressed the intelligence, did you ever think about today?"

"When you cast your veto, did you ever consider that you would have three thousand lives on your hands?"

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze.

"Give me up, and you'll have peace?"

He chuckled, a sound so chilling it sent shivers down your spine.

"Whoever wants to hand me over, step forward now!"
