The invisible "momentum" that was gathering people's hearts was suddenly interrupted, and many princes subconsciously looked at Duke Yanshan who spoke out.
Shen Qian also felt wary.
Generally, this kind of opening statement often means that there will be more shocking remarks later.
During the chat between Shen Qian and Uncle Luo Shen just now, he had roughly understood why Duke Yanshan's status was so high.
Of the more than ninety princes in China, only nine have actually reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
Among the nine people, Jingcheng Hou is rumored to have reached this level, but most princes believe that the rumors are true. After all, he has been fighting with Yanshan Gong for so many years. If the strength was not equal, he would have been defeated long ago.
Another person who is also rumored is Wu Wei, the Minister of Martial Arts.
Because Wu Wei has no title, but has been firmly in the position of Minister of Chinese Martial Arts for many years, and is in charge of the nine divisions. He must also have amazing strength, but he rarely takes action, so the rumors are more serious.
The third special one is the Heavenly Swordsman. Because the opponent rejected the "Heavenly Seal" and only cultivated a sword in his hand, the princes generally judged him as having a killing ability that reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, but his overall strength was not as good as that.
Among the remaining six, Duke Tianning has died, and there are five others: Duke Baili, Duke Tianqing, Duke Yanshan, Duke Liuhu and Duke Huainan.
Among these five people, Duke Yanshan is recognized as the number one person in the hearts of most princes.
Not only because the other party is the first person after the Nine Kings to enter the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, but also because the area where the other party lives is Beidu.
It is the most beautiful place in China, and it itself has too much symbolic meaning.
Therefore, the other party suddenly sang the opposite tune at this time, and the effect was naturally extraordinary.
"I wonder what Lord Yanshan has to say?"
Wu Wei's face turned cold, but he still asked.
"I am just thinking that since the revival of spiritual energy, and even going back to more ancient times... With the knowledge of everyone present, you naturally know the history of all races and the origin of 'Yuan Di'. Our human race has almost always been in a state of struggle.
In the meantime, the truly peaceful history is only the two or three thousand years of the feudal dynasty."
Duke Yanshan sighed, "In the past two hundred years alone, how many strong men from our human race have died in battle?"
"Thinking about it pessimistically, even if our human race wins this decisive battle with the Wu Clan, so what? Can we really destroy the Wu Clan? The best result is just to defeat the Wu Clan. The same is true for other ethnic groups.
This threat will continue to our descendants, and no one knows when it will end!"
All the princes were silent.
Although Yanshangong's words are a bit misleading, which cannot be hidden from their keen mental perception, they have to admit that what Yansangong said is actually the truth.
The human race only has an advantage on paper against any single ethnic group, and if it is the most powerful wizard clan, even if it can win with a high probability, it will be a miserable defeat. This is under the premise that the wizard king has not fully recovered.
Including all races, they can retreat to the different world behind their respective "doors" at any time, and then come back again after repairing themselves.
With the current strength of the human race, it is impossible to defeat all "doors".
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, a great victory for the human race is just to defend the original territory.
"Mr. Yanshang, what exactly do you want to say?"
Bai Ligong, who had gray hair but no signs of aging on his face, said coldly, "Is it possible that if we don't fight, the Wu clan will retreat on its own?"
"Of course this is not serious...but have you ever thought about it, that the Wu clan and even all clans are not willing to shed too much blood?"
Duke Yanshan smiled and said, "If we face the Wu clan, we will win miserably, and they will do the same. This means that we actually have the basis for peace talks!"
"Talk about peace?"
All the princes were stunned, never expecting that the Yanshan Guild would come up with such a choice.
It's not that everyone didn't expect it, but since the Nine Kings, the human race's strategy in facing the invasion of all races has always been extremely rigid, especially in the early stages of the recovery of spiritual energy. Maybe some people had similar thoughts at the beginning, but as each of the top
The rise of the strong has broken through "doors" one after another, and similar voices have long been extinguished.
The existing princes have already had inertial thinking, so no one will think from this perspective.
"The grievances between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan have spanned several eras. How can peace be negotiated if there are many strong men who have died at each other's hands?"
"Yes, if I remember correctly, during the Nine Heavens War less than a year ago, the Spirit Witch Clan attempted to wipe out all the elite geniuses of our human race. With such deep hatred, how can we talk about peace?"
"If we go to negotiate peace now, wouldn't all the blood shed before be in vain?"
After a short period of silence, many princes voiced their opposition.
Shen Qian's frown eased slightly. Although he didn't know what Duke Yanshang was up to, judging from the scene, most of the princes were still very sober.
"Haha, times have changed. Can the current situation be compared with the spiritual energy recovery period?"
Duke Yanshan said indifferently, "At that time, our human race had nine kings, and there was also a hidden White Emperor, whose combat power reached its peak. What do we have now? And there were only a few 'doors' opened at that time.
?"
"When the situation was at its worst, there were only eighty or so 'doors'!"
"What now?"
Facing Duke Yanshang's rhetorical question, the passionate opposition suddenly weakened a lot.
Because everyone knows that this invasion of all races is the biggest crisis in the history of the human race.
More than two hundred "doors" were opened at the same time... If all races had not fought independently and had a tacit understanding on the day Long Live Mountain collapsed, I am afraid that the human race would have lost more than just the sea area.
"As for what you said, whether the Wu Clan will agree to negotiate, it's actually very simple. Let me ask you a question. Wan Clan has been wanting to invade human territory since ancient times. Why?"
Duke Yanshan saw that most of the princes had some wavering thoughts, and then he spoke.
As soon as this statement came out, many princes were startled.
"Isn't there a rumor that it's because all races believe that the 'Yuan Di' where humans live has some kind of 'key' that can unlock chaos?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Uncle Pingyang frowned and said, "It is precisely because the human race has mastered this 'key' that it can gradually rise above all races with its weak body, while the other worlds inhabited by other races are gradually declining. However, I think many princes are present about this.
It’s all been verified and it’s all nonsense..."
When Uncle Pingyang said this, he suddenly couldn't continue. Instead, he was startled and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
The other princes also realized something and turned their heads to look. The atmosphere in the hall gradually became weird.
The "rumor" mentioned by Uncle Pingyang is indeed the most widely circulated version among the princes, but at least before today, all the princes, including the top Daluo Jinxian, thought it was just a rumor.
The reason why Uncle Pingyang suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his sentence was because something big happened today.
Shen Qian beheaded Marquis Zhaoyuan.
With the body of mountains and seas.
In this process, Shen Qian really summoned the "power of chaos".
This incident caused a sensation in the entire princely circle. At that time, some princes said that "Shen Qian may have found the so-called 'key'." However, this incident happened not long ago, and a princely council was convened immediately afterwards, so that
Most princes were unable to connect the two events of the Wu Clan's invasion and Shen Qian's awakening.
At this time, under the guidance of Duke Yanshang, everyone suddenly realized that the rumors... were not rumors at all!
So at this moment, all the princes subconsciously looked at Shen Qian.
"Han Chi, what do you want to do!" Wu Wei's eyes were cold, as if there was some kind of warning.
But Duke Yanshang didn't look at Wu Wei at all. He just smiled and said, "Aren't you asking what the basis for peace talks is? This is the basis!"
"The Wu clan and even all clans want the 'key', so what if you give them the key!"
Duke Yanshan's sonorous words echoed in the hall, "We all thought this was just an excuse for all races to destroy the human race, but now our human race has a peerless genius who has proven this rumor, so why should we start a war in vain?"
"It's just to master the secret of Chaos. Our human race has never had this secret before, so we have survived in the cracks of all races. Will handing over this secret have any impact?"
The whole hall was quiet.
Not to mention the princes of the neutral camp, even the steadfast Nine Kings Faction is wavering a little at this moment.
Because what Duke Yanshan said is still an irrefutable fact.
"Since ancient times, our human race has never sacrificed others to seek perfection. It has never happened before, and it will never happen again in the future!"
Wu Wei said categorically at this time, "It's one thing to die in battle, it's another thing to die in vain. If you want to sacrifice anyone in exchange for the so-called 'peace', don't mention it again!"
Some princes opened their mouths, but in the end they remained silent.
Because Wu Wei's words were from the perspective of true justice. One person can be sacrificed today, and a hundred people can be sacrificed tomorrow. This is not in line with the pride of these top human race experts. No prince will openly agree with such a proposal.
"Who said we have to sacrifice Shen Qian?"
Unexpectedly, Duke Yanshang chuckled again and said directly, "What I said was just to share this 'secret'."
Everyone, including Wu Wei, was stunned.
"Yes, what Wanzu wants is to unlock the 'secret' of Chaos, not a specific person. If we just share the secrets, it is possible to get a truce, so I think we can give it a try."<
/p>
While looking at each other, Marquis Xuanming suddenly spoke.
Although his own position is in favor of the Divine Emperor's Palace, it has to be said that these words actually hit the bottom line that most princes can accept.
I'm just sharing a secret, not giving up anything. If this crisis can really be resolved, it seems to be a good deal no matter how you look at it.
For a time, many princes looked at Wu Wei.
"Minister, if you just give it a try, it may not be impossible. If the Wu clan doesn't agree, we will fight again!"
"Ben Bo seconded the motion!"
"Second!"
Many neutral princes spoke up and expressed their attitudes.
Wu Wei frowned. He knew that Duke Yanshang was not well-intentioned, but at least on the surface, there was nothing blameworthy about this proposal. Moreover, Wu Wei actually didn't know how Shen Qian controlled the secret of chaos, so he
Looked at Shen Qian.
"Shen Qian, what's your own attitude?"
As Wu Wei asked the question, everyone's attention focused on Shen Qian again.
Being stared at by so many princes, even Shen Qian felt a little pressure.
But at this moment, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
The secret of chaos?
This is more than just the secret of chaos!
He is probably the only person in the room who knows the whole truth, including Duke Yanshang, who has no idea what he is planning, and may not know what the real threat to the human race is.
The so-called "key" is just a bait thrown out by "Tiandao" from the beginning.
The powerful men of all races have long been polluted by the "Way of Heaven", or in other words, their ancestors who originated from chaos were unclean from the beginning, and the concept of annihilating the human race has long been rooted in the depths of their souls.
Even if Shen Qian shared the secret of the so-called "chaos", they would not be able to stop.
There will always be a new reason for them to desperately destroy the human race.
Especially the Witch Emperor, as the only remaining powerful emperor, there is a high probability that the opponent has been deeply polluted by the "Way of Heaven".
But Shen Qian couldn't say these words.
Of course, in fact, Shen Qian's best choice at this time is to follow Yanshangong's wishes and share the "secret". If there is still no truce at that time, it is not Shen Qian's fault. No one can blame him.<
/p>
But the biggest problem is...it involves the system.
Because of the existence of the system, Shen Qian can control the power of chaos, but he can only borrow it for a limited time.
He has not really refined these powers.
In other words, the "secret" mentioned by Duke Yanshan does not actually exist, it only involves Shen Qian's own secret.
This is something that is destined not to be shared.
However, Shen Qian knew that it was not just the so-called strong men of all races, but also the many princes in the hall at this time. They didn't say anything, but they were probably eager to know the riddle of the supreme power.
The Nine Kings closed the road, affecting the martial arts progress of everyone present.
If possible, who wouldn’t want to go further?
Moreover, from a human perspective, Shen Qian should not be so "selfish".
He is a mountain and sea warrior who can kill princes by relying on the secret of chaos. If the princes present can understand even a little bit from it, not to mention the surge in combat power, even if it is only half a step forward, it will greatly enhance the strength of the human race.
Shen Qian knew that even Wu Wei was hesitant because of this reason.
This is the "heart-killing sword" that Duke Yanshan did not say, but under the cover of righteousness, he directly forced Shen Qian into the corner.
This is the real counterattack of the Divine Emperor Palace, and it is also the reason why Han Chi remains calm even after Shen Qian killed two princes.
He may not know the whole inside story, but he must know that Shen Qian's "secret" cannot be shared.
Shen Qian vaguely felt that there was something inside that he didn't know about, but the situation at this time did not allow him to dwell on it.
So, amid the hidden expectations of many princes, Shen Qian finally raised his head after being silent for a long time.
