Chapter 346: Unguarded (Fourth Shift 21/341)
After returning to Yuanzong.
Qin Shujian first washed up briefly.
In fact, at his level, it has reached the level of fine dust, and it has no effect on whether to wash or not.
But.
He's still used to doing it.
And for such habits.
Qin Shujian had no intention of changing it.
Inside the Chengwu Palace.
All the branch elders of the Yuan Sect, the elders of the inner gate of the main lineage, and the masters of the three halls all gathered here.
Inside the main hall, there was peace.
Everyone's attention fell on Qin Shujian, who was in the main position.
Until now.
They have not yet recovered from the fact that the tide of beasts has been wiped out.
How many demon beasts are there in the four realms?
Someone roughly estimated that it was at least more than 200,000.
Such a number of monsters.
All of them were killed in an instant.
Even as Terrans, they felt a chill in their hearts.
What's more.
No one knew when Qin Shujian had laid out such a huge formation in the four realms.
Originally, many people thought.
Those eight stone statues are just the beliefs of the sect.
Although people have been worshipping every day, they have not shown the slightest vision, and no one cares about it over time.
Until now.
Zheng Fang and the others knew that the inconspicuous stone statue would be one of the eyes of a terrifying formation.
Daily worship may be a means of accumulating strength for the stone statues.
At this time.
Many people have such thoughts in their minds.
But.
Qin Shujian didn't say it clearly, and no one could be completely sure, after all, such a method was a bit beyond ordinary people's understanding.
After a little silence.
Qin Shujian broke the silence first, his gaze fell on Zheng Fang, and said, "Great Elder, how about the casualties of our sect this time in the beast tide?"
Hear the words.
Zheng Fang pondered for a moment and said, "This time, a total of nine hundred and seventy-three disciples and fifty-three deacons of our sect have died, of which seventy-eight have died in the Spirit God Realm. ”
The words fell.
The atmosphere of the hall is also a little dignified.
Nearly a thousand monks were killed in battle at once, and among them, seventy-eight of the Spirit God Realm powerhouses were killed, which was a large number.
For some of the great sects of the Spirit Realm.
Such a loss of casualties is enough to destroy the entire sect.
Although compared to Yuanzong's strong strength, such a loss is not enough to break the muscles and bones, but if you calculate it seriously, it is definitely not light.
Qin Shujian's face was as usual, and no one could see his inner thoughts.
Xu Yuanming said in a deep voice: "My sect is facing the beast tide of the Endless Mountain Range, and such damage is inevitable. ”
"Do you know the reason for this beast tide?"
"The demon pattern left by the sect master originally intercepted the pace of the demon beast, and then the phantom of a giant wolf appeared, and then the demon pattern was shattered, according to the old man's guess, it should be a celestial and human means. ”
Xiang Haoqian on one side said in a deep voice.
With the means of his Divine Martial Realm, he was naturally able to tell whether it was a celestial-level attack or not.
In particular, the demon punishment formation pattern is extremely restrained against demon beasts.
Even if it was a demon beast in the Divine Martial Realm, there was no possibility of breaking the demon formation.
"Celestial Wolf Phantom?"
"A blow from heaven and man?"
Hearing Xiang Haoqian's words, Qin Shujian also understood why the demon formation pattern he left behind was shattered.
"According to what Elder Xiang said, there should be no doubt that the existence of the demon clan should be the one who made the move. Speaking of this, Qin Shujian looked at Niu Dali, who was drowsy on the side, and said, "Elder Niu." ”
"Huh?"
"This time the beast tide is rampant, why hasn't it reached the Lion Tiger Plain?"
"Well, maybe they saw that we were all of the same race, so they didn't do anything. After thinking about it for a long time, Niu Dali held back such a sentence.
Let's be honest.
Until now, he was still a little confused.
Don't say it's Qin Shujian.
Even Niu Dali himself didn't expect to understand why the beast tide didn't do anything to him when he crossed the Lion Tiger Plain.
Think about it.
There is only one person of the same race, who can barely explain the past.
Hearing this, Qin Shujian was noncommittal.
In his sight, Niu Dali's loyalty has always been very high, and there is no possibility of betrayal.
Seeing the other party's confused appearance, he obviously didn't know why the demon beast didn't attack the Lion Tiger Plain.
Explanation for Niu Dali.
Qin Shujian also had some agreement in his heart.
The demon beast obeys the orders of the demon clan.
Strictly speaking, Niu Dali is actually a member of the demon clan, so it is natural for the demon beast to be in awe.
As for the other party's demon clan.
Is there a possibility of betraying Yuanzong?
Seeing the other party's loyalty, Qin Shujian shook his head.
This bull demon.
Maybe there is no idea of racial justice in my heart.
If even this loyalty can be betrayed in a blink of an eye, then there are few people in the Yuan Sect who can be trusted.
At this time.
The rest of Yuanzong also looked at Niu Dali, and they were also puzzled why the Lion Tiger Plain had not been affected.
to the other party's explanation.
Qin Shujian believed it in his heart, but they scoffed.
Demon beasts are already cannibalistic.
There are constant battles in the endless mountains all year round, and where did the concept of the same race come from.
However, Qin Shujian didn't ask, so it was not good for them to ask too much.
When he felt the sight of the falling on his body, Niu Dali leaned back on the chair again, looking dozing.
Compared to his indifference.
Qin Shujian was a little shocked in his heart.
Lingwu Quadruple!
Skyclave!
It's only been a long time, and the strength of this bull demon has increased again, and it has directly reached the point of the Sky Realm.
Such strength increases speed.
He had to wonder if the other party could also use the source of life to improve the realm.
in all NPCs.
Niu Dali is the one who has improved his strength the fastest in Qin Shujian's cognition.
"It seems that this bull demon has other opportunities, otherwise it would not have been possible to improve its strength so quickly. ”
Qin Shujian secretly thought in his heart.
However, he also did not have the idea of exploring the other party's chances.
Your own fate is the biggest opportunity, and there is no need to covet too much.
As for the others.
After hearing that Qin Shujian mentioned the demon clan, some people's faces changed slightly, but some people showed a little doubt.
Not everyone.
can learn about the past of the demon clan.
But anyone who knows the past of the demon clan can understand the horror of the demon clan.
Think of it.
Xiang Haoqian said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, when the Human Emperor was alive, the Demon Clan hid from the Endless Mountain Range, but now that the Human Emperor has died, the Demon Clan immediately set off a beast tide, and this move will inevitably make people doubt its motives. ”
"According to the old man's understanding, this beast tide is not a place that has affected my Yuanzong domain, even if there are beast tides in other realms, this is very likely to be the demon clan's declaration of war against us. ”
"The demon clan is powerful, even if thousands of years have passed, the human emperor has not exterminated it, if the demon clan really wants to fight for the Jokhang territory again, I can't wait!"
In his opinion.
If the demon clan really wants to compete with the Jokhang for domination, this is no longer a matter of dynastic change, but an irreconcilable contradiction between the two clans.
In the past, the demon clan was defeated.
The Emperor of Man drove him into the Endless Mountain Range, discarding all the great rivers and mountains in the outside world.
Now the demon clan is back.
If the human race is defeated, if you are lucky, you may be able to go to other places to hide like the demon race, waiting for him to have the opportunity to rise again.
If you're unlucky.
Maybe it's the end of the extinction of the dead race.
In this case.
No one is immune.
Xiang Haoqian, as a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm, knew more things than anyone else.
At the beginning, the war between the human race and the demon race, although he did not have the opportunity to experience it himself.
But it was also known.
Although the Terrans won the battle, the forces that were destroyed due to the great war were difficult to measure, and even the imperial court itself suffered heavy losses, and almost wiped out half of the population of the Terrans in the first war.
Until thousands of years have passed.
This kind of attrition is gradually recovering.
Such a result.
Or is it because of the suppression of a clan by the emperor.
Now that the human emperor has died, there is no second human emperor in the world.
If the two races start a big war, it will inevitably be more tragic and more terrible than thousands of years ago.
Don't look at Yuanzong's power now, it's not weak.
If you really want to stand in the way of such a general trend, it will turn into ashes in an instant.
Qin Shujian said, "How much does Hall Master Xiang know about the Demon Clan?"
"I don't know much, but I know some. Xiang Haoqian pondered for a moment and said: "The demon clan has an extremely strong ability to reproduce, and when it competed with the human race for the world in the past, the sheer number was more terrifying than the human race.
The demon beasts in the Endless Mountain Range are actually the products derived from the demon clan and ordinary beasts, and they are between half-demons and half-beasts.
These demon beasts have not only inherited the cultivation talent of the demon clan, but also inherited the low spiritual wisdom of the beasts, although they are not recognized by the demon clan, but when it comes to strength and quantity, they are the big arm of the demon clan. ”
Speaking of which.
He paused and continued, "Some people once speculated that the demon beasts that exist in the Endless Mountain Range may be more than the number of human races!"
Hear that.
Except for Qin Shujian in the main hall, everyone was discolored.
There are more monsters than Terrans.
What kind of concept is this.
In the territory of Jokhang's billions of miles, no one can accurately say a number.
But one thing is for sure.
The number of human races is at least 100 billion, if not trillions.
On this premise.
If the number of demon beasts was equal or exceeded, it would be too terrifying.
After all, in the huge population base of the human race, there are still many ordinary people who don't know how to cultivate, and as for the demon beasts, even if they are weak, they are much stronger than ordinary people when they become adults.
So.
The gap between the two sides is too obvious.
"Elder Xiang's words are a bit alarmist, if there are really such a number of demon beasts, why haven't they stepped out of the Endless Mountain Range for so many years, is it just because of the human emperor's deterrence?"
"The old man has just heard about it. ”
Xiang Haoqian smiled and shook his head, and then looked solemn again.
"One thing is certain, though, that every few months, the imperial court sends a large number of strong men into the Endless Mountain Range for the purpose of killing demon beasts. ”
