"Eliminate the demon emperors?"

Lin Feng met the expectant gazes of all the Sages and said firmly, "I'm a Sage of humanity. Why not?"

Demon emperors were a major threat to all humans. Every time a demon emperor appeared, it would bring about catastrophic consequences for humanity. For this reason, the Nine Sages guarded the Outland all year round to deter those demon emperors.

However, this also held down the Sages of humanity, preventing them from having much time to cultivate or guide the juniors of humanity.

However, things were different now. Lin Feng had the strength to clear out all threats. Demon emperors were no longer so powerful beyond humans, nor were they so difficult to slay.

If they could eliminate the demon emperors, the Sages of humanity would also be free to help Lin Feng collect life cores, or deal with the threat of the Behemoth of Armageddon together.

"There are many demon emperors. Where should we start?"

"I've already thought it through. Let's start with the Three Forbidden Places! I once obtained the life core in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. Perhaps there are life cores in the other Forbidden Places as well. We can also get rid of those demon emperors along the way."

The Sages nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let's agree on a time to set off. I suggest all the Sages attack together for such an important operation."

Sage Kang struck while the iron was hot. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Let's do it tomorrow. As for the location, I went to the Tashakur Desert last time. I only killed Batai, but I didn't explore the Tashakur Desert properly. Let's start with the Tashakur Desert."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and confirmed the time and place.

"Then this operation will be called Demon Slaying Operation! Tomorrow, everyone will gather at the League of Guardians Headquarters!"

Sage Kang made the final decision. Everyone had a smile on their faces.

After so many years, the day had finally come when they could take the initiative to attack demon emperors. Lin Feng did not guard the Outland. He did not know the pain of guarding the Outland over decades or centuries.

All along, although humans were on the offensive against other dire beasts, they were actually on the defensive against demon emperors. If dire beasts broke through certain defense lines, the Sages would not even have time to reinforce them.

During the previous crisis in Dragonlith City, it was luck that the Invincible Fist Sage could arrive in a very short period of time. Even if a demon emperor appeared, he could rush back in time. Otherwise, the Invincible Fist Sage would not have been able to reinforce Dragonlith City.

The Sages agreed and left one after another, leaving Sage Kang and Lin Feng alone.

"Sage Lin Feng."

Just as Lin Feng was about to leave as well, Sage Kang stopped him.

"Sage Kang, is there anything else?"

Sage Kang took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Sage Lin Feng, I was wrong about Batai."

Sage Kang actually took the initiative to apologize. This surprised Lin Feng.

He was a dignified Sage, and he was known as The Pioneer of humanity, the first Sage in history. How prestigious was he? Yet he was taking the initiative to apologize to Lin Feng now.

Lin Feng did not think that Sage Kang was apologizing to him due to his strength.

"Sage Kang, what are you doing?"

"Lin Feng, I couldn't stop Batai in time. I even somewhat enabled his actions. For the greater good, I've unknowingly deviated from my original intention."

"No, Sage Kang, you're not wrong! Our ideals are different, but no one was in the wrong. Back when humanity was weak, it was precisely because of Sage Kang's firm conviction that humanity slowly became stronger, and that we can prosper today! However, things in the world cannot be perfect. We are all working for humanity now, and our ideals have aligned again, right?"

With that, Lin Feng retracted his projection, leaving Sage Kang with a thoughtful expression.

…

The next day, airships landed one after another at the League of Guardians Headquarters.

The person who walked out of the airship shocked every martial artist in the League of Guardians.

"That's the Invincible Fist Sage, right? I've seen him last time."

"There's also Sage Bingyu, the Dean of the Polar Academy. She rarely shows her face."

"It's Sage Kang, the first Sage of humanity."

"The Sages of the military are here too… Eight of them, a total of eight. Apart from the dead Sage Batai, almost all the Sages are here. What's going on?"

There were only over 100 official members in the League of Guardians, but they were fortunate enough to witness the grandest lineup in human history!

A total of eight Sages arrived at the League of Guardians.

Looking at the magnificent buildings below, the Sages all nodded to themselves. Lin Feng's League of Guardians was completely different from their faction. It had a very technological air.

After all, the headquarters was built with robots left behind by the third civilization. It fully adopted certain characteristics of the third civilization, and was very different from the current buildings of humanity.

"Sage Bingyu, this is your first time at the League of Guardians Headquarters, right? Haha, Sage Lin Feng has a lot of good stuff."

The Invincible Fist Sage had already been to the League of Guardians a few times, and actually took up the role of a "guide".

"Invincible, I think Sage Lin Feng's League of Guardians is quite good. Aren't you rebuilding Myriad Academy? Why don't you get Sage Lin Feng's robots to help you rebuild it?" Sage Cass said with a smile.

"Do I need you to tell me? I've already borrowed 3,000 robots from Lin Feng. Myriad Academy can be rebuilt in a few days!"

The Invincible Fist Sage was in high spirits. Once his Myriad Academy was rebuilt, it would definitely surpass the other two academies. It was enough to make him excited for a while.

"Sage Kang, all the Sages are here. When was the last time all the Sages gathered?"

"A hundred and thirty-eight years ago. There were only seven Sages at that time. We had gathered then to deal with three demon emperors together."

Sage Kang was also very emotional. Due to the demon emperors, it was very difficult for the Sages of humanity to gather.

At this moment, Lin Feng also came out. He took a look. The eight Sages were all here. It was time to leave.

"Chenchen, don't worry. With eight Sages together this time, the Demon Slaying Operation will definitely be a success!"

Before leaving, Lin Feng also explained things to Qu Chen.

Qu Chen was also very supportive of the Demon Slaying Operation. She was just a little worried about Lin Feng, but she also knew that Lin Feng was a Sage, so he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of humanity!

"Let's go!"

A total of nine airships took off from the League of Guardians Headquarters and quickly flew towards the Tashakur Desert.

…

In the depths of the Outland, countless Screwworms were prostrating on the ground, their entire bodies trembling, as if they were afraid of something.

In the valley in front of them, a giant worm emitting a scarlet light seemed to be undergoing metamorphosis with great difficulty. A layer of skin was vaguely shed from its entire body. Its huge body, which was two kilometers long, almost occupied the entire valley.

The giant worm appeared to be in great agony. There was a strange scarlet crystal in its mouth, and it was trying its best to swallow it.

Rumble.

Finally, the giant worm opened its maw wide, and devoured the huge scarlet crystal like it was a delicious meal.

Immediately, the giant worm let out waves of incomparably painful roars. Countless Screwworms that heard this roar and prostrated themselves on the ground as they trembled.
