Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 524 The Meeting and the Amputation

In the depths of an unknown mountain forest, a huge blood-red flower blooms. This blood-red flower is enormous, with a diameter of over twenty meters.

The giant flower has twelve petals, each blood-red with black lines on them. When viewed from above, these lines are clearly shaped like human faces.

These faces include men and women, young and old.

Rustling.

A faint, exotic fragrance permeated the forest, constantly luring wild beasts and monsters, including many high-level ones.

As demonic beasts, they are quite intelligent and can clearly sense deadly dangers nearby. Their bodies want to escape, but their souls cannot resist the allure of the exotic fragrance and keep getting closer.

When these monstrous beasts approached within ten meters of the giant flower, they let out painful howls, turning into a blurry mass of flesh and blood, their bones dissolving and seeping directly into the dark soil.

The crimson giant flower trembled slightly, emitting a strange sound, as if it were feeding. The face-like patterns on its petals also changed expressions.

hum…

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, one after another illusory figures appeared, floating above the petals. As the patterns on the petals gradually disappeared, the illusory figures became clearer and more solid.

"Isn't Dream King coming today?"

A voice rang out first, its tone unfriendly.

"He'll be here soon. After all, it only happens once a month. Why would he give up so easily?"

Someone responded that it was a shadowy figure less than a meter tall, resembling a child.

“He’s been being hunted down recently. He contacted me for help just three days ago. I asked him to share his resources with me, and then he disappeared. He might be dead.”

Someone joked with a smile.

"It's better that he's dead. Who told him to be so inhuman and help the alien race?"

"They've already joined the Pure Land, so what's the point of talking about a sense of justice?"

“It’s not a matter of justice or injustice. I have no opinion about who he kills, but there’s no need to cooperate with alien races. It doesn’t benefit us at all.”

"It's no big deal, it's just a matter of time."

"Why offend China for no reason? If you really anger them, it will be a lot of trouble."

"If you're not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"Those who say they are not afraid of death are actually the most afraid of dying."

"Please, just kill me!"

The seven illusory figures chatted idly, some arguing, some cursing, and some challenging each other to a duel, making the originally quiet atmosphere somewhat chaotic and noisy.

As the buzzing sound rang out again, a handsome phantom appeared. He looked around and said with a smile, "I'm not the last one after all. It's been a month, and everyone still looks as good as ever."

"Weren't you being hunted down? How did you manage to come here?"

A shadowy figure asked, dressed in a loose, black robe, but with a somewhat bulky physique.

"Now that we've gotten rid of that annoying guy for the time being, it would be a waste if he didn't come. We can't let you get away with this."

"Dream King said with a smile."

A middle-aged man who looked like a Westerner looked angry and questioned him, "You chose to cooperate with other races for resources, which has caused considerable losses to the Pure Land and has also drawn criticism from the outside world!"

Unfazed by the questioning, the Heavenly King Meng smiled and said, "You're afraid of being questioned after joining the Pure Land? If you're afraid, you can leave!"

"Whether I withdraw or not is not up to you," the man said coldly.

“Dream King, not cooperating with alien races is our bottom line. Although we are not afraid of threats, you may be shameless, but we still have our dignity.”

Someone giggled, and it was a woman.

Seemingly aware that he had provoked public outrage, King Meng remained silent for a while before calmly saying, "The alien races will not give up. If I don't take action, others will, and the result will be the same."

"That's just an excuse. Don't do it again, or you'll never be able to come back."

The woman threatened with a smile.

Dream King spread his hands and did not respond further.

Seeing that the Dream King had calmed down, someone said, "Tomorrow is a day of mourning, the World Alliance should be making a big move!"

"It has nothing to do with us, but I am somewhat interested in the Avengers."

"They're just some geniuses who haven't fully matured yet. Even if they become kings, so what? However, I am somewhat interested in He Jun. Her demon spirit is very worthy of study."

Someone echoed, their voice hoarse and somewhat grating.

“Even if you’re interested, it’s useless; you wouldn’t dare go to the capital.”

Someone mocked.

After chatting for half an hour, when they finished eating, the phantoms disappeared one by one, and the facial features on the petals reappeared, and the forest fell silent again.

A strange fragrance filled the air, attracting countless demonic beasts, who were eventually transformed into a mass of flesh and blood…

Shangjing.

As dawn broke, the piercing alarm blared throughout the base city.

When people heard the alarm, they came out of their homes and looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast and covered with heavy clouds.

The weather forecast says it will rain today, and the low pressure and sirens are making it hard to breathe.

Thirty days have passed since Zhou Yuncheng fell to the city, exactly one month.

The city is being rebuilt, but some people will never be able to go home again.

Today is World Day of Mourning.

People walked toward the city square, their expressions solemn and sorrowful.

Early in the morning, the seventeen members of the Avengers also walked out of the hotel and boarded the bus that had been prepared outside the hotel.

There were already quite a few people on the bus, and they only nodded when they saw them appear. Everyone seemed rather silent along the way, and before they even reached the city square, a light drizzle began to fall.

"It's raining."

Lin Feng looked out the window at the people lining both sides of the street.

Some people opened their umbrellas, while others remained indifferent.

The rain made the already somber day of mourning even more so. When the bus stopped in the city square, the square was already surrounded by a dense crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"It's the Avengers!"

The oppressive atmosphere eased slightly, and people's expressions revealed surprise. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, some might have cheered out loud.

Miyayama, holding his younger sister, attracted a lot of attention.

"so many people."

Miyayama lowered his head slightly, not quite used to being the center of attention, but the feeling was peculiar and gave him a special kind of pleasure.

The appearance of the Avengers not only attracted the attention of the onlookers outside the square, but also the attention of various forces.

This also includes the Yang family.

Major financial groups and influential figures from the capital attended today's memorial service.

Today is not only a day to mourn those who have died, but also a day for the World Alliance to respond to the retaliation against the alien race.

As Lin Feng and his group walked past, Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing remained calm, but there was a hint of complexity in their eyes.

Guided by staff, Lin Feng and his entourage appeared below the stage, which attracted many surprised glances and whispers.

In China, the order of positions, whether before or after, can, to some extent, represent one's status and position.

"No way."

"What's there to be unable to do? Their record is more than enough."

"It seems the Avengers have caught the attention of the higher-ups. They're really awesome!"

The location where Lin Feng and his group stood was undoubtedly in the core area, closer to the podium than most of the Glory Clan, including the Yang Clan.

The Avengers' current status and importance can be seen from their positions.

Even though none of them have broken through to the King rank yet, who can ignore them at this moment?

Many forces have decided to establish close ties with the Avengers. With talent, strength, and national support, the alliance has a bright future.

Lin Feng noticed the surprise in the eyes of those around him, but he didn't seem to care.

He had no interest in this position, which offered no benefit whatsoever; he was simply there to attend the memorial service.

Lin Feng looked around and spotted the location of the Yang clan, but he glanced over it and paid no attention to it.

"Didn't your grandfather say he was going to attend today?" Lin Feng asked Zhan Tianyu.

After searching around, he still couldn't find the location of the Zhan family.

Logically, as one of the ten great families of the capital, the Zhan family should have attended the memorial service.

"Ah."

Zhan Tianyu frowned and kept turning his head to look around, but he still couldn't find any of his clansmen.

Just as the two were worried, a familiar figure appeared a hundred meters away and slowly walked towards their location.

The person, dressed in a purple Tang suit, immediately attracted the attention of various forces upon his appearance. Some people's expressions changed slightly, while others exclaimed in surprise.

Zhan Tianyu stomped his foot on the ground and charged towards the figure. Lin Feng followed closely behind, and the others followed suit.

"Oh shit!"

As Lin Feng ran, he clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart. He saw Zhan Tai'en's empty sleeve and heard Zhan Tianyu's furious roar.

"It's nothing, just an arm."

With a smile, Zhan Tai'en patted Zhan Tianyu's back with his only remaining left arm, trying to soothe his frantic anger.

When Lin Feng appeared, Zhan Taien smiled, seemingly carefree, but with a hint of bitterness in his expression.

"It's alright, it was just an accidental injury, everything's been arranged."

James Taien said to Lin Feng, then lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice: "I came here on purpose to show everyone that he won't dare to go too far. Don't show any anger, and don't get too close to me. That won't do you any good. Remember, there's plenty of time."

Listening to Zhan Tai'en's earnest words of comfort and advice, Lin Feng remained silent, but his anger did not subside.

He comforted Zhan Tianyu yesterday.

He naively believed that the Avengers had grown up and were qualified to be taken seriously and feared by major powers.

Even though they were forced to take things by force, Hong Tao would still have some consideration for them and wouldn't go too far. But in the blink of an eye, Zhan Tai'en lost an arm.

His words of comfort and ideas now seem ridiculous.

Extraordinary experts don't care about their potential and talent at all; geniuses who haven't grown up are nothing to them.

In the lead-up to an impending war, some people become reckless in their pursuit of power.

The appearance of Jan Taien made many people's faces turn ugly.

They had all heard about this incident, but they never expected Hong Tao to be so ruthless.

The current plight of Jan Taien is likely to befall them in the future, which is why Jan Taien is here.

He wanted to use this method to make Hong Tao think twice.

On the dais, one important figure after another appeared, including Hong Tao.

He also noticed Jan Taien, but didn't react much, and even gave a simple, farmer-like smile.
