"What!" After hearing this answer, both the masters from the Qixia Kingdom and the Jinyang Kingdom were stunned.
Just let him go? Shouldn't he kill more than 500 masters in one go and severely damage the vitality of the Kingdom of Jinyang?
He Dongjiao was shocked for a while, then he gradually came to his senses, and then he said hesitantly: "Then these people..."
He Dongjiu was referring to the hostages who were unconscious on the ground and snatched back by Zhang Hao, those alchemists from the Kingdom of Jinyang. After the war, there were still more than thirty people alive, and these were all from
The seeds of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
"roll!"
This sound of "roll" was as mighty as the waves, echoing among the mountains.
He Dongjun's expression suddenly changed, but he had to squeeze out a stiff smile, bow, and retreat three feet away before turning around and flying away with everyone.
You need to maintain the necessary humility towards the strong. Otherwise, your death will be in vain!
"Everyone, come down." The Supreme Emperor spoke softly. He first came to the northern seats of the alchemy square and sat down. Everyone slowly landed, but they all stood.
Zhang Hao couldn't help it anymore. He strode up to the other party. After paying homage, he asked, "I don't know how I should call you?"
"Just call me senior."
"Senior, why did you let go of the masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang? The Kingdom of Jinyang has turned its back. In just this war, from what I saw, 7 Nascent Soul stagers died on our side.
, there were hundreds of casualties in the Jindan stage, and hundreds of Xinglintang personnel were affected.
But now, you actually let them go!
With your power and the three hundred Nascent Soul stages on our side, we can definitely keep them here!"
Zhang Hao's words were a little excited. Not only Zhang Hao, but also most of the others looked at the previous emperor, the Supreme Emperor.
"Hey...you think I don't want to? It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't! There is an unwritten rule among countries, that is: those in the Nascent Soul stage and below cannot be attacked in the Transformation stage.
If I take action today, you... won't survive tomorrow! No one can stop the assassination in the transformation stage!"
Zhang Hao was shocked, but he understood instantly, this is: the balance of terror. There is also a balance of terror in the other world: nuclear peace!
Although many countries have nuclear weapons, when all countries have nuclear weapons, the world becomes peaceful. No one dares to start a war lightly.
The Supreme Emperor glanced at everyone: "For your efforts today, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Kingdom of Qixia. The Kingdom of Qixia will provide compensation."
Zhang Hao retreated, and someone came out to ask: "Senior, we are from the country of Zhoushan. I wonder how we are over there?"
The Supreme Emperor shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet. The Kingdom of Jinyang has been planning for a long time, and this attack was very sudden. We don't have much information so far.
But think about it, you don’t need to worry too much. Although the Kingdom of Jinyang is powerful, it is impossible to go to war with other countries at the same time. At present, we should be the only ones who have been attacked. They may want to coerce Xinglintang to refine elixirs for them!
However, the wolfish ambition of the Kingdom of Jinyang has been revealed. You can go home and have a look, and leave a few people to join me in the imperial capital to receive compensation."
Everyone looked at each other in shock and quickly dispersed; however, the merchants from the east and others stayed. Of course, the prisoners from the Kingdom of Jinyang also stayed.
This annual alchemy event ended hastily.
…………
Under the setting sun, Zhang Hao stood in front of the library, watching Huang Mingshan and others move all the materials related to ore research in the library into vehicles.
But what Zhang Hao recalled in his mind was this short but intense battle between masters. Different from the last war he saw in Jingshan City, this time it was a battle between masters, without any war weapons.
The scene where the master in the transformation stage finally took action gave Zhang Hao a great shock.
This is a prosperous age for spiritual practice! This time, I finally saw the tip of the iceberg!
Zhang Hao had to rethink and adjust the future development direction of the Zhang family.
Zhou Shuhai walked slowly, with a sad look on his face. He walked to Zhang Hao and stood silently without speaking. He was still wearing a simple black gown, with a circle of white linen hanging on his left arm.
Zhang Hao didn't speak, and stood quietly with Zhou Shuhai.
The setting sun gradually set, making the two figures look longer and merged with the shadow of Shanlan.
It wasn't until Huang Mingshan came to Zhang Hao carefully and said that the books had been moved, that Zhang Hao nodded and asked Huang Mingshan and others to prepare to leave. At the same time, he unloaded all the black iron, naphtha, etc. brought this time and returned them to Xinglin Hall.
In exchange for a large amount of Peiyuan Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, etc., return lightly.
After Huang Mingshan left, Zhang Haocai finally spoke slowly: "Uncle Shi, ordinary pills...cannot save the country!"
Zhou Shuhai looked at the empty library, watching his decades of achievements being transferred, with a complex expression. After a while, he sighed: "Let Xue Yao go with you. The most studied ore in the past two years is
Xueyao is gone; her current research on ores is probably even better than mine."
Zhang Hao turned to look at Zhou Shuhai, a little shocked. Previously, even when he wanted to visit the injured Zhou Xueyao, he was rejected by this 'stingy' father, who even offered to hire an alchemist from Xinglin Hall for twice the unreasonable price.
request. But at this time, he actually took the initiative to "send" Zhou Xueyao?
Zhou Shuhai said no more. He slowly turned around and left. His steps were heavy and he seemed confused again.
Looking at Zhou Shuhai's back gradually blending into the night, Zhang Hao suddenly felt a little sad. A sudden war changed this benevolent man who wanted to use elixirs to save the six Western countries.
Perhaps in Zhou Shuhai's view, the reason why the West is weak is because of elixirs. The reason why the West is exploited by the East is also because of elixirs.
Therefore, he always felt that as long as he could refine elixirs, he could save the West. For this reason, he even studied ores, a large number of minerals.
But the cruelty of reality shattered his last dream. The world showed its most cruel side in front of him!
He Dongjun's words and the decision of the Kingdom of Jinyang pushed this benevolent man who had devoted hundreds of years of hard work to the development of Western alchemy to the edge of the cliff. Below the cliff was the rolling evil!
At this moment, Zhang Hao once again thought of Zhou Shuhai's previous request for "double the price of an alchemist": Maybe he was not only angry, but he was also worried - worried about the emergence of the 'killing medicine'!
But the Kingdom of Jinyang destroyed its last hope.
Since the 'life-saving medicine' cannot save the West, the only option is the 'killing medicine'.
In fact, Zhang Hao was also heartbroken by this sneak attack - Lu Yang, one of the two masters who had previously refined the Dutian Fierce Formation, died in the battle.
Without one talent, will the progress of the project slow down in the future?
The night is getting darker, and the Zhang family's motorcade is advancing in the dark.
Zhou Xueyao was sitting next to Zhang Hao, her face a little pale, without the slightest smile. Her eyes were staring blankly at the boundless night.
Tonight, the clouds are thick and there is no starlight.
