Shen Qian always felt that there seemed to be some key mistake, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Wu Wei arrived very late. By the time he took his seat, all the participants in the princely council had already arrived.
"There were 287 princes who should have arrived, but 253 princes actually arrived, and 24 princes were absent."
At this time, Gu Donglai, as the secretary-general, reported the status of the meeting.
"Even the clone can't be present?" Wu Wei seemed to attach great importance to this meeting, frowning when he heard this.
"Yes, I have just confirmed again that the jade talismans of these more than twenty princes are all offline. They are most likely in a different world behind the 'door' or in a state of retreat, so..."
Gu Donglai shook his head.
When Shen Qian heard this, he was a little confused. He had never seen the figure of the eldest brother and the fourth brother. Logically speaking, they should have come out from behind the "door", but the eldest brother and the fourth brother had just experienced a fierce battle, and their respective His status is unknown, and he may not be there if he is recuperating from injury.
Since Wu Wei didn't mention it, senior brother and fourth senior brother should be fine. Thinking of this, Shen Qian felt a little at ease.
But after he thought about Wu Wei's question, something moved in his heart. He sent a message to Uncle Luo Shen next to him and said, "Uncle Luo Shen, when you participate in the Prince's Council, do you usually attend in person or as a clone?"
Uncle Luo Shen looked at Shen Qian strangely, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, but he still smiled and replied, "Generally, there are more clones. Most of the princes I know live in seclusion, and most of them are active outside. The clone..."
"Speaking of which, Uncle Zhengxi has just returned from the 'door', so he will be present in his true form. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will only be able to kill one of his clones today!"
Shen Qian didn't listen to Uncle Luo Shen's joke behind him. He just turned his head suddenly and looked back at the area where Duke Yanshan and others were.
After a moment, Shen Qian frowned deeply, and he glanced around again, his eyes passing over the princes present one by one.
Many princes noticed Shen Qian's scrutinizing gaze, and felt unhappy for a moment. However, due to the occasion, they didn't show any signs of anger. They just glanced over with indifferent eyes, implying a warning.
Uncle Luo Shen on the side was also surprised, because she could feel the fluctuations of mental power on Shen Qian's body, and quickly sent a message to remind: "Shen Qian, don't do this, this will offend many people."
Shen Qian had withdrawn his eyes at this time, but the focus of his attention was obviously not on human relations. After a slight silence, Shen Qian said with a solemn expression, "Uncle Luo Shen, have you noticed that Lord Yanshan, Liegu Hou and Tian Qing Your Excellency and others are all present in their true form today!"
"What?" Uncle Luo Shen was obviously confused, "It must be a coincidence..."
"No, this is definitely not a coincidence!" Shen Qian believed in his strong intuition, "All the members of the Divine Emperor's Palace you mentioned just now were present in their own right. Looking at other princes, except for ministers and some princes, I am sure that at least three More than two-thirds of them are just clones present..."
At this time, Uncle Luo Shen also realized what Shen Qian really wanted to say. She was surprised and said, "You mean the members of the Divine Emperor's Palace have some agenda? That shouldn't be the case. This is the Prince's Council..."
"What if it's because everyone thinks this way that they relax their vigilance?"
Shen Qian sighed, "Furthermore, he tolerated my provocation just now, and even though I clearly killed Zheng Xibo's clone, Han Chi didn't seem to have the intention to take advantage of it... If it weren't for a bigger plan. , I really can’t figure out why he would tolerate it!”
If Liegu Hou would shrink back because of fear, who is Han Chi?
His own family knows his own affairs, and without using his trump card to destroy him, Shen Qian is still far behind Daluo Jinxian.
Perhaps, he will have to wait until he breaks through the eight forbidden areas in three areas before he has the strength to compete with Daluo Jinxian.
The higher the realm, the less things can be hidden. He didn't believe that Han Chi would feel that he could threaten him.
Therefore, his strange attitude at this time is worthy of further study.
Looking at Uncle Luo Shen who was also frowning and thinking, Shen Qian had no good solution at this time and could only wait and see what happened.
"The first thing to be discussed today, as you all already know, is about Shen Qian's formal joining of the Prince's Council. Regarding the different standards of realm and combat power, Jiang Huan has been used as a reference before, so I won't go into details again."
At this time, Wu Wei had finished his opening remarks and directly raised the first topic, "If you have different opinions, you can raise them at this time."
There was a sudden silence in the field.
There is really nothing to discuss about combat power. Shen Qian has actually killed two princes, and no one can question it.
Of course, more princes were actually waiting for members of the Divine Emperor's Palace to stand up and object. After all, everyone knew about the fight between Han Chi and Gao Wenyuan. Han Chi even tried to obstruct Wu Jun when he joined the association some time ago, let alone openly Shen Qian is no longer at the princely level.
However, what surprised everyone was that Han Chi remained silent.
Not only Han Chi, but also Liegu Hou and others were all looking at their noses and hearts, but there was no sign of any objection.
Wu Wei was also stunned for a while, but after Gu Donglai's reminder, he continued to wait for a few more seconds, and then he coughed slightly and said, "Since there is no objection, according to the usual practice, a real-name vote must be conducted. A yes vote." If it exceeds half, it will pass.”
As Wu Wei finished speaking, three buttons, one red, one white, and one green, appeared in front of everyone's throne. Uncle Luo Shen smiled and glanced at Shen Qian before pressing the green button.
Ten seconds later, Gu Donglai glanced at the lights in the audience and said: "One hundred and seventy-four votes in favor, twelve votes against, and sixty-seven abstentions. The proposal is approved. Shen Qian enters the Prince's Council!"
Buzz!
As Gu Donglai finished speaking, the originally gray throne under Shen Qian glowed with colored light, indicating that he officially had a place in the parliament.
At the same time, a "click" white light flashed, capturing the image of Shen Qian at this moment.
"Those who enter the Prince's Council will have their statues erected, and they will be displayed in the Prince's Hall at the back." Facing Shen Qian's confused eyes, Gu Donglai explained with a smile.
"Congratulations, little friend Shen Qian!"
"Congratulations, I suddenly feel really old, hahaha..."
There were friendly congratulations from many princes and princes all around, expressing their attitude of treating each other as equals. Shen Qian nodded in response, feeling a little dazed at this moment.
If this is a peaceful and prosperous age, it means that he has stepped into the highest level of the human race with a body of mountains and seas. This will be the highest honor reported to the world, and it is definitely something worthy of celebration.
Not to mention the power of the leader who controls the destiny of the human race, at least one of Shen Qian's original intentions of struggling to this point has been realized...
Because princes enjoy many privileges that are more outrageous than those of mountains and seas. In addition to benefiting future generations, the most important one for Shen Qian is "freedom of marriage."
This means that he can tell the media that he is marrying more than one wife without having to answer multiple-choice questions.
But Shen Qian quickly woke up again and dispelled the weak joy in his heart, because the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
If he read correctly, Han Chi, Gao Zhengjie and other princes all voted to "abstain". Are they too lazy to even make a gesture?
Wu Wei also looked at Shen Qian with a smile. After Shen Qian finished greeting the princes around him, he said seriously, "Then let's move on to the second topic, about the large-scale invasion of the Wu clan."
Upon hearing the name "Witch Clan", all the princes became serious.
"As for the alien races behind each 'sect', we have learned a lot about them in the past half year or so, so everyone knows that the only ones who can really pose a threat to our human race are actually the Wu race."
Wu Wei said calmly, "Even if the Long Live Mountain Prison is broken and many ethnic groups have top experts return, they are still scattered. Unless they unite, it will be difficult for them to fight against our human race."
At this time, Gu Donglai quietly walked up to Shen Qian and handed him a jade talisman.
Shen Qian knew that this was a tool for the Prince's Council to inform all members of important news. It seemed to be an encrypted upgraded version of the "bracelet", so he nodded and took it.
When his consciousness sank into it and he saw the top secret information belonging to the human race, Shen Qian suddenly realized why Wu Wei said this.
There are also many powerful people from all races, but that is only the total number. But in fact, after many years of silence and various civil strife, these ethnic groups, even the alien races left over from ancient times, are actually far less powerful than before.
Judging from the summary of this information, for example, the Giant Spirit Clan and the Li Clan, which Shen Qian was relatively familiar with, were among the top ten clans in ancient times, but now, the Giant Spirit Clan only occupies the Xiaoqian family behind three or two "doors". The world, after being hit hard by Wu Jun this time, is even more incapable of success, and the remaining powerful men above the prince level can only be counted on one hand.
The Li clan is slightly better, at least occupying a complete Zhongqian World, but there are less than ten known princes and powerful people in the clan, and none of them are at the Da Luo Jinxian level.
But the Wu Clan is completely different.
The Wu Clan itself has six major branches. Although they used to work independently and were scattered in different "door" worlds, these six major branches alone occupy at least two great worlds.
According to the evaluation standards of other worlds, the land area of any great world is at least ten times that of the earth.
The vast land means endless resources. Even if the Wu clan's population is declining and is far inferior to the human race's reproductive capacity, the six major branches add up to nearly twenty powerful princes.
It seems that there are only twice as many people as the Li clan, but among them there are at least six people at the level of Daluo Jinxian.
What really makes the human race feel the pressure is the "revival of the Witch King".
There can only be one reason for the Wu clan to reunite.
The information simply said "Unstoppable only by King Wu", but Shen Qian knew that even King Wu might not be able to stop him. After all, the Witch King was at the peak of the Great Emperor in his heyday.
The reason why the information was written so vaguely was probably just to avoid damaging the confidence of many princes.
Even Shen Qian knew that some princes might not know that there was a level above King Wu. After all, since the revival of spiritual energy, except for King Jiangling, there had never been a strong person of this level in the human race.
In addition, the Wu clan has the possibility and dominance to call upon all races. In ancient times, they were the number one among all races.
If the name of the Witch King is used, the human race will most likely face an army united by all races, and the little advantage the human race has will be wiped out in an instant.
"According to feedback from the hidden formations left overseas, just a few hours ago, the Wu clan had abandoned their previous stronghold, and most of their combat power had moved to the east coast of China."
Wu Wei then revealed the latest information in a deep voice.
This piece of information immediately caused quite a stir among the princes' council. Even most of the princes could not help but change their mood at this time.
"Isn't King Zhou Yi guarding the seaside?" Bai Ligong was the first to ask.
"King Zhou Yi...has disappeared and has not been contacted yet." Wu Wei sighed.
"What!"
When more princes heard this, their original calmness suddenly disappeared.
That was the only Martial King in the human race, and also the only hope in the hearts of many princes to resist the mysterious Witch King.
Only Shen Qian was not surprised. He would be damned if King Zhou Yi was really willing to fight for the human race.
"Everyone!" At this time, perhaps seeing the noise getting louder and louder, Wu Wei raised his voice and said, "There is no need to disturb the morale of the army. Although the Wu Clan is aggressively invading, as far as I know, the Wu Emperor has not yet fully recovered!"
"Why do you see it?" The hall became quite quiet, and a prince frowned.
"Because it was after King Zhou Yi abandoned the coast that the Wu Clan began to invade. This shows that the Wu Clan did not have the courage to face a King Wu."
Wu Wei analyzed calmly, "The Witch Emperor is stronger than King Zhou Yi. If he is no longer restricted, there is no need to wait until now!"
Everyone felt a little relieved after hearing this, especially when they knew that the Witch King was not just a little bit better than the King of Zhou Yi. The princes all figured out the link.
"Then how should we deal with it now? Does the minister have any concerns?" Yun Tianbo, who had dealt with Jingcheng before Shen Qian, asked.
"I originally thought that the Witch Clan would directly attack the Magic City, but the strange thing is that the Witch Clan bypassed the Magic City war zone and just stayed near several other B-level cities along the coast. I don't know what they are waiting for."
Wu Wei said in a deep voice, "Maybe they are waiting for the Witch King to fully recover, or maybe they are secretly colluding with all races. No matter what, since they want to wait, we can't wait, so my suggestion is..."
"Take the initiative and seek a decisive battle with the Witch Clan!"
There was a brief silence in the council, and then Uncle Pingyang stood up first and responded, "Then let's fight!"
"war!"
"war!"
The Marquis of Qingcheng, the Marquis of Yidao, the Marquis of Wuding... more and more princes spoke, their tone not serious, but very firm.
Just when Shen Qian was also infected by the solemn and passionate atmosphere, and wanted to cast a vote, Yanshan Gong Han Chi on the opposite side suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Isn't the blood shed by my human race enough?" Is it much?"
