Chapter 40: Those Not of My Kind Must Have Different Hearts
In response to the admonition from The One Who Acts, neither Ximen Qianlie nor Ren Woxing dared to speak, regardless of right or wrong, which clearly demonstrated the power and status of The One Who Acts.
Once The One Who Acts spoke, no one dared to voice their opinions. However, among the twelve individuals in the conference hall, there were still those who occasionally spoke up.
"Hmm? Does Sword Mountain possess any special abilities? Why would Lian Yun take him as a servant?"
"Could it be that he simply wants a combat force?"
"Ah~~ Chen Er Gou, a creature of Monsters. It seems Lian Yun truly has no spiritual power left!"
"Remarkable, truly remarkable that he can still be so benevolent!" A Monarch, devoid of any particular emotion, suddenly sighed, eliciting resonance from many, though a few wore expressions of sarcasm.
Clearly, everyone present was absorbing intelligence from various factions.
"Since Dongzi is traveling with Lian Yun, why not let him test the waters?"
One person suddenly proposed this idea, and several others turned to look at the middle-aged man with a long beard, whose Ghost Body resembled someone dressed in ancient attire—the Demon Emperor.
However, the Demon Emperor remained unmoved, neither opposing nor expressing his stance, completely ignoring the situation.
"Hmph~~ If you all choose inaction, then let me take on that role! Hmph~~" Ximen Qianlie said with a sarcastic tone before waving his hand to send out a message.
A few people in the conference hall hesitated to speak but ultimately remained silent.
For a long time!
“Dog Spirit accompanies! Good!”
“Sword Intent, to achieve Sword Intent at such a young age?”
“If it weren’t for the encounters of that year, he might have become the youngest Monarch in history, and not just an ordinary Monarch. Plus, with his Yin-Yang Stage~~”
A Monarch combined with the Yin-Yang Stage endowment possesses the strength of an Emperor! Even if it’s only for a single use, it could protect humanity for decades or even centuries, just like Emperor Yi did in the past.
And what if Lian Yun continues to grow?
The crowd was shocked, and then several people showed expressions of regret and shame, some were heartbroken, while others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hiding a sense of satisfaction from their past decisions along with a desire to eliminate any potential threats.
“How dare you~~ Arrogant brat~~” Ximen Qianlie suddenly erupted in anger, slamming his hand on the table.
He must have just received news about Lin Feiyu threatening to seek revenge on the mastermind behind the scenes!
The others were immediately stunned, while a few wore expressions of glee!
Someone even mocked, “With the capabilities of the Lin family, they might really pull it off!”
Ximen Qianlie felt a twinge of fear but retorted with even more sarcasm, “Hmph! I know I’m just a person, but this Emperor also has his reasons for being here. I am not like you hypocrites! A bunch of false gentlemen!”
Indeed, real people are not frightening; what is truly terrifying are the hypocrites. However, the others were filled with anger since they had been struck at their weak points and could not help but feel enraged.
At that moment, The One Who Acts looked at the three Demon Emperors and asked, "What suggestions does Sun Ancestor have?"
The middle-aged man with a long beard, a Demon Emperor whose Ghost Body resembled someone dressed in ancient attire, shook his head slightly and remained silent.
"Sun Ancestor, if you have something to say, please speak plainly. Are you trying to be as hypocritical as the others?" Ximen Qianlie shouted.
Sun Ancestor shook his head again, refusing to speak!
"Please, Sun Ancestor, share your thoughts," several individuals bowed towards Sun Ancestor.
This was simply shirking responsibility!
Thus, Sun Ancestor could only nod helplessly and said, "There is a saying among the human race: 'Those who are not of our kind will inevitably have different intentions!' Therefore, although I hold a high position, I can only make suggestions without expressing personal opinions. In the past, I once voiced my opposition to your plans to harm Lian Yun, but you did not listen. Hence, my current suggestion is that if there are any matters concerning the alliance in the future, Lin Clan should be notified first!"
"May I ask, Sun Ancestor, what is your view on the current situation?" The One Who Acts stood up and cupped his hands towards Sun Ancestor.
This gesture of respect was directed solely at Sun Ancestor.
However, Sun Ancestor nodded and then shook his head again, saying, "As I have said before."
The nine Human Sovereigns present fell silent, their expressions dark and obscure.
Three years ago, Sun Ancestor had opposed the collusion with the Demon Clan to harm Lian Yun.
The current situation is that the Demon Clan is growing stronger while the Human Race is becoming weaker. Coupled with the fact that the Demon Clan has an infinite lifespan while humans have a very short one, their intent to destroy Lian Yun is to use time to wear down the human race.
As long as they continue to eliminate exceptional talents among humans, even if more Monarchs arise, it will be difficult for any of them to become an Emperor. However, although the Demon Clan faces challenges in breaking through, they can accumulate power over endless time.
Thus, as time goes on, it becomes a matter of mutual decline. In the end, even if the Demon Clan does not attack the human race, humans will eventually perish on their own.
At that moment, Sun Ancestor sighed deeply and said, "The Ancients preferred to be shattered like jade rather than remain intact like tiles! Yet now, my friends, for the sake of ten years of comfort, you are willing to destroy a hundred years' worth of potential talents that could strengthen our race! How can our people lack such spirit?"
Regrettably, how did we Huaxia Ethnicity lose our backbone?
His words left all the Monarchs present speechless. Nevertheless, they ultimately chose to sacrifice Lian Yun in exchange for ten years of peace.
Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Sun Ancestor paused before continuing, "Lian Yun and the Lin Clan are currently seeking peace for the sake of our people! However, if you harm Lian Yun again, regardless of his life or death, the Lin Clan will surely rebel!"
"Do not think that one family's strength is insignificant; one leads to another. Moreover, there is already precedence set by Cloud Emperor City. At that time, if Huaxia becomes like a pile of scattered sand, it could end up resembling the Warring States period with various factions vying for power. Currently, our alliance is barely enough for self-preservation; what would happen if we were to disperse? I urge you all to consider this carefully."
The nine Human Sovereigns present, including The One Who Acts, suddenly looked even more grim.
Perhaps after harming Lian Yun, things would not be as dire as Sun Ancestor suggested; however, everyone sought his opinion because they wanted to hear his foresight.
Now what Sun Ancestor said seemed inevitable to the nine Human Sovereigns!
In an instant, whether they were spectators or those plotting against Lian Yun, they shared a common thought: no longer making things difficult for Lian Yun and instead seeking to appease the Lin Family.
"In three years' time, no forces within the alliance shall trouble Lian Yun. We will send three Imperial Ways to the Lin Family. Who among you is willing to go?"
The One Who Acts spoke, and the entire assembly was taken aback, for the Imperial Way was a type of Dao Soldier.
A Dao Soldier is essentially a Spirit created using advanced technology, one that obeys commands without question. The Imperial Way represents a Demon Emperor-level Dao Soldier.
The Imperial Way can be considered the heavyweight 'weapon' of the alliance against Spirits. Within the entire alliance, there are only Three Thousand Imperial Ways! Most of them are scattered across various cities for their defense. Within the Huaxia Alliance, fewer than five hundred Imperial Ways can be freely utilized, mirroring the number of true Monarchs!
Thus, one Imperial Way is nearly worth Lian Cheng; the value of those three is almost incalculable.
At this moment, even Ximen Qianlie did not voice any objections, let alone anyone else.
As a result, while everyone was shocked, they fell silent once again.
"May I request Sun Ancestor to take a trip?" one person suddenly asked.
Then several others stood up simultaneously and bowed, saying, "We humbly request Sun Ancestor to assist us!"
