346 Chapter 346-must guard against
After returning to Yuan sect.
Qin shujian first washed his face and rinsed his mouth.
In fact, at his realm, he had already reached the level of being untainted by even a speck of dust. Whether he washed up or not would not have any effect.
However …
He was still used to doing this.
Moreover, this kind of habit …
Qin shujian had no intention of changing his mind.
In the Cheng Wu Hall.
All the elders of the subsidiary sects, the inner elders of the main sect, and the three Hall Masters of the yuan sect were gathered here.
The hall remained calm.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Qin shujian, who was sitting at the main seat.
Until now.
They had yet to recover from the fact that the beast tide had been completely annihilated.
How many demonic beasts were there in the four regions?
Some people made a rough estimate and found that there were at least two hundred thousand of them.
Such a large number of demonic beasts.
They were all killed in an instant.
Even though they were humans, they felt a chill in their hearts.
More importantly …
No one knew when Qin shujian had set up such a massive formation in the surrounding areas.
Initially, many people thought.
The eight stone statues were the faith of the sect.
Although they had been worshiping it every day, there had been no signs of it, and over time, no one paid attention to it.
Until now.
Only then did Zheng Fang and the rest realize that the unremarkable stone statue was one of the formation eyes of a terrifying formation.
The daily offering might be a way for the stone statue to accumulate power.
At this moment.
Many people had the same thought.
However …
Qin shujian didn’t explain it clearly. No one could be completely sure. After all, such a method was a little beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
After a moment of silence.
Qin shujian was the first to break the silence. His gaze landed on Zheng Fang as he said, “”Grand Elder, how many casualties did our sect suffer in this beast tide?”
Upon hearing this.
“This time, a total of 973 disciples and 53 deacons from our sect have died. Among them, 78 spiritual God Realm experts have died.”
The words fell.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little heavy.
Nearly a thousand cultivators had died in an instant, including seventy-eight spiritual God Realm Masters. This was not a small number.
For some of the great sects of the spirit domain, this was a huge problem.
Such losses were enough to cripple the entire sect.
Even though such losses were not enough to shake the foundations of the powerful Yuan sect, it was still not a light loss.
Qin shujian’s expression remained the same, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
our sect is facing the beast tide of the endless Mountains, ” Xu Yuanming said in a deep voice. it’s inevitable that we’ll suffer such losses.
“Do you know the reason for this beast tide?”
the demon Slayer runes left behind by the sect master were supposed to stop the demonic beasts, but a giant Wolf’s shadow appeared and shattered the runes. According to my guess, it should be the work of a Deva.
Xiang Haohao muttered.
With his abilities as a divine martial realm expert, he was naturally able to tell if this was a Deva-level attack.
In particular, the demon Slayer array runes were extremely effective against demonic beasts.
Not even a divine martial realm demonic beast could break through the formation.
“The Phantom of a giant wolf?”
“A Deva-level strike?”
After hearing Xiang Haohao’s words, Qin shujian finally understood why the demon Slayer runes he had left behind had shattered.
“According to what elder Xiang said, the attacker should be a demon without a doubt.” After he said this, Qin shujian looked at the drowsy Niu Dali and said, “”Elder Niu,”
“Ah?”
“Why didn’t the wild beast tide affect the Liger plain this time?”
well, maybe they saw that we were of the same race, so they didn’t attack. After thinking for a long time, Niu Dali finally squeezed out this sentence.
To tell the truth.
He was still a little confused.
Forget about Qin shujian.
Even Niu da li himself could not understand why the beast tide did not attack him when they crossed the Liger plain.
He thought about it.
Only the saying that they were of the same race could barely make sense.
Qin shujian did not comment when he heard this.
In his eyes, Niu Dali’s loyalty had always been very high, and there was no possibility of him betraying him.
Looking at the other party’s confused appearance, it was obvious that he did not know why the demon beasts did not attack the Liger plain.
As for Niu da Li’s explanation …
Qin shujian agreed with this in his heart.
Demonic beasts obeyed the orders of the demon clan.
Strictly speaking, Niu da li was also a member of the demon race, so it was only natural for the demon beasts to be in awe of him.
As for the other party being a demon …
Was there a possibility of betraying Yuan sect?
Qin shujian shook his head when he saw the other party’s loyalty.
This ox demon.
Perhaps he didn’t have any thoughts of righteousness for his race.
If even this level of loyalty could be betrayed in the blink of an eye, then there were only a few people in the sky origin sect that could be trusted.
At this moment.
The other members of sky origin sect also turned to look at Niu Dali. They were also puzzled as to why the Liger plain was not affected.
The other party’s explanation.
Qin shujian believed it in his heart, but they scoffed at it.
Demonic beasts usually killed each other.
The endless Mountains were filled with endless killing all year long, so how could there be any concept of the same race?
However, since Qin shujian did not pursue the matter, it was not appropriate for them to ask too much.
When he felt the gaze on him move away, Niu Dali leaned back on the chair again and looked like he was dozing off.
Compared to his indifference.
Qin shujian was a little shocked.
Fourth level of the spiritual realm!
The airborne realm!
It had only been a short while, and the ox demon’s powers had increased yet again, and it had even reached airborne realm.
With such a speed of improvement, it was impossible for him.
He was even starting to doubt if the other party could use life value points to increase his realm.
Among all the NPCs.
To Qin shujian’s knowledge, Niu Dali’s abilities had improved the fastest.
“Looks like this ox demon has some other fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, it’s impossible for his strength to increase so quickly,”
Qin shujian thought to himself.
However, he did not have the intention to explore the other party’s opportunities.
His own fortune was the greatest fortune, so there was no need to covet it too much.
As for the others …
Some people’s expressions changed slightly when they heard Qin shujian mention the demon race. However, there were also a few people who had doubtful expressions on their faces.
Not everyone.
They would be able to understand the past of the demon race.
However, anyone who knew the past of the demon clan could understand how terrifying they were.
With this thought …
sect master, when the human Sovereign was still alive, the demon clan hid in the endless Mountains, ” Xiang Haohao said in a deep voice. now that the human Sovereign has passed away, the demon clan immediately set off a beast tide. This move inevitably makes people suspect their motives.
according to my understanding, the beast tide this time did not affect the territory of my Yuan sect. There were beast tides in other territories as well. This is very likely a declaration of war by the demon race.
the demon race is very powerful. Even after thousands of years, the human Emperor has not been able to exterminate them. If the demon race really wants to fight for the territory of the great Zhao dynasty again, we have no choice!
In his opinion.
If the Yao really wanted to compete with the great Zhao for rule, this was no longer a problem of succession, but an irreconcilable conflict between the two races.
The demons had been defeated in the past.
They were driven into the endless Mountains by the human Sovereign realm and abandoned all the beautiful rivers and mountains in the outside world.
Now, the demons had returned.
If the human race was defeated, if they were lucky, they might be able to hide somewhere else like the demons and wait for the opportunity to rise again on Dong mountain.
If they were unlucky.
Perhaps it would be the end result of the extermination of the clan.
Under such circumstances.
It was impossible for any of them to stay out of trouble.
As a divine martial realm cultivator, Xiang haoyan knew more than the others.
He had not had the chance to personally experience the Great War between the human race and the demon race.
But he also knew.
Although the human race had won that war, the number of forces that had been destroyed because of the war was uncountable. Even the Imperial court had suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of the human race’s population had been wiped out in that war.
Until thousands of years passed.
This way, he could gradually recover from his losses.
Such a result.
It was also because of the human Emperor’s suppression of the race.
Now that the human Emperor had passed away, there was no other human Emperor in the world.
If the two races were to start a war, it would definitely be more brutal and terrifying than thousands of years ago.
Don’t look at how Yuan sect was not weak.
If one were to stand in the way of such a powerful force, they would instantly turn into dust.
Hall Master Xiang, ” Qin shujian said. how much do you know about the demon race? ”
“I don’t know much, but I do know a little.” Xiang haoyan thought for a moment and said, “”The demon race’s reproductive ability is extremely strong. In the past, when they fought with the human race for the world, their numbers were even more terrifying than the human race’s.
The demonic beasts in the endless Mountains were actually the offspring of the demon clan and ordinary wild beasts. They were in a state between half-demon and half-beast.
These demonic beasts have inherited the demon clan’s cultivation talent, but they also inherited the low intelligence of wild beasts. Although they are not recognized by the demon clan, in terms of strength and numbers, they are a big help to the demon clan.”
At this point.
He paused for a moment before he continued,”some people once speculated that the number of demonic beasts in the endless Mountains might be more than the number of humans!”
Upon hearing this.
Other than Qin shujian, everyone else in the Great Hall had a change in expression.
The number of demonic beasts was even greater than that of humans.
What kind of concept was this?
No one could give an exact number of humans in the vast territory of the great Zhao.
But one thing was for sure.
There were at least a hundred billion humans, perhaps even a trillion.
Under such a premise.
If the number of demonic beasts was equal or more than the number, it would be too terrifying.
After all, among the huge population of the human race, there were many ordinary people who did not know how to cultivate. As for the demon beasts, no matter how weak they were, they would be much stronger than ordinary people when they matured.
This way …
The difference between the two sides was too obvious.
elder Xiang’s words are a little too alarmist. If there really are so many demonic beasts, why haven’t they stepped out of the endless Mountains for so many years? is it just because of the human Emperor? ”
“This old master has only heard of it.”
Xiang haoqian shook his head with a faint smile, but then his expression turned serious.
but one thing is for sure. Every few months, the Imperial court will send a large number of experts into the endless Mountains to kill the demonic beasts.
