Chapter 346
After returning to Yuanzong.
Qin Shujian took a brief shower first.
In fact, when he reached his realm, he had already reached the level of cleanliness, and it didn't matter whether he washed or not.
but.
He was still used to it.
And for such a habit.
Qin Shujian has no plans to change it either.
In Chengwu Hall.
All the branch elders of Yuanzong, the inner door elders of the main line, and the three hall masters all gathered here.
In the hall, keep calm.
Everyone's attention fell on Qin Shujian, who was in the main seat.
until now.
They have not recovered from the fact that the beast tide has been wiped out.
How many monsters are there in the world.
Someone roughly estimated that it was at least more than 200,000.
Such a number of monsters.
All were killed in an instant.
Even as a human race, they felt a chill in their hearts.
more importantly.
No one knows when Qin Shujian set up such a huge formation in the four worlds.
Many people thought that.
The eight stone statues are just the beliefs of the sect.
Although people have been offering sacrifices every day, they have not shown the slightest vision, and no one will care about it over time.
until now.
Zheng Fang and others knew that the inconspicuous stone statue would be one of the eyes of a terrifying formation.
The daily offering may be a means of accumulating power for the statue.
at this time.
Many people have such thoughts in their minds.
but.
Qin Shujian didn't say it clearly, and no one can be completely sure. After all, such a method is a bit beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
After a little silence.
Qin Shujian broke the silence first, set his eyes on Zheng Fang, and said, "Elder, what are the casualties of my sect this beast tide?"
heard.
Zheng Fang pondered for a moment, and said, "This time, there are 973 disciples and 53 deacons in our sect who died in battle, of which 78 were killed in the spiritual realm."
The words fall.
The atmosphere of the hall is also a little dignified.
Nearly 1,000 monks were killed in action at once, and 78 of them were killed in the battle, which was not a small number.
For some spiritual realms.
Such casualties are enough to destroy the entire sect.
Although compared to Yuanzong's strong strength, such a loss is not enough to hurt the muscles and bones, but it is definitely not light if you think about it seriously.
Qin Shujian's expression 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 slaying pattern left by the suzerain originally blocked the pace of the monster. Later, a phantom of a giant wolf appeared, and then smashed the demon slaying pattern. According to the old man's guess, it should be a means of heaven and man."
Xiang Haoqian on the side pondered.
With the means of his Divine Martial Realm, it is natural to be able to distinguish whether it is an attack at the level of Heaven or Human.
In particular, the Demon Execution Pattern is extremely restrained against monsters.
Even monsters in the Divine Martial Realm have no chance of breaking the Demon Killing Array.
"The illusory shadow of the giant wolf?"
"A blow from heaven?"
Hearing Xiang Haogan's words, Qin Shujian understood why the Demon Killing Array he left behind was broken.
"According to what Elder Xiang said, there is no doubt that the existence of the shot should be from the demon clan." Having said that, Qin Shujian looked at Niu Dali who was drowsy and said, "Elder Niu."
"what?"
"Why didn't this beast tide spread to the Liger Plain?"
"Uh, maybe they saw that we were all from the same clan, so they didn't do it." After thinking for a long time, Niu Dali choked out such a sentence.
to be frank.
Until now he is still a little confused.
Not to mention Qin Shujian.
Even Niu Dali himself didn't expect to understand why when the beast tide crossed the border, he didn't do anything to him on the Liger Plain.
Thinking about going.
Only one of the same clan said, barely able to explain the past.
Hearing this, Qin Shujian was noncommittal.
In his sight, Niu Dali's loyalty has always been very high, so there is no possibility of betrayal.
Looking at the confused look of the other party, it is obvious that he does not know why the monsters did not attack the Liger Plain.
For Niu Dali's explanation.
Qin Shujian also agreed in his heart.
The monsters obey the monsters.
Strictly speaking, Niu Dali was actually a member of the monster clan, so it was only natural for monsters to be in awe.
As for the opponent being a monster.
Is there any possibility of betraying Yuanzong?
Seeing the loyalty of the other party, Qin Shujian shook his head.
This bull demon.
Perhaps there is no racial justice in mind.
If even this loyalty can be betrayed in the blink of an eye, then there are not many people in Yuan Zong who can be trusted.
At this moment.
The rest of Yuanzong also looked at Niu Dali, and they also wondered why the Liger Plain was not affected.
on the other side's explanation.
Qin Shujian believed in his heart, but they scoffed.
Monster beasts are more of the same clan.
In the endless mountain range, there is constant fighting all year round, so where does the concept of the same race come from?
But Qin Shujian didn't ask questions, so they wouldn't be able to ask too much.
When he felt the sight falling on him move away, Niu Dali leaned back on the chair again, looking like he was dozing off.
Compared to his indifference.
Qin Shujian was a little shocked in his heart.
The fourth level of Lingwu!
Royal sky!
How long has passed, the strength of this bull demon has increased again, and it has directly reached the level of the Royal Air Realm.
Such strength increases at a speed.
He has to doubt whether the other party can also use the source of life to improve the realm.
Inside all NPCs.
Niu Dali is the fastest one in Qin Shujian's cognition.
"It seems that this bull demon has other opportunities, otherwise its strength cannot increase so quickly."
Qin Shujian pondered in his heart.
However, he had no intention of exploring each other's chances.
Your own chance is the greatest chance, there is no need to covet too much.
As for the others.
When I heard Qin Shujian mentioned the demon clan, some people's expressions changed slightly, but some people showed some doubts.
Not everyone.
All can understand 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 about this.
Xiang Haoqian said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, when the Human Sovereign was alive, the demon clan avoided the Endless Mountains. Now that the Human Sovereign has died, the demon clan immediately set off a beast tide. This move inevitably makes people suspect their motives."
"As far as I know, this beast tide is not affecting my Yuanzong area. Even if there are beast tides in other realms, this is most likely the demon clan's declaration of war on us."
"The demon clan is powerful, even if thousands of years have passed, the emperor has not wiped them out. If the demon clan really wants to fight for the Jozhao territory again, I can't wait!"
In his opinion.
If the Yaozu really wants to compete with Da Zhao for domination, this is no longer a matter of dynasty change, but an irreconcilable contradiction between the two tribes.
The demon clan was defeated in the past.
He was driven into the Endless Mountain Range by the Emperor and discarded 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 and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.
If you are unlucky.
Maybe it's the end of the genocide.
in this case.
No one can be alone.
As a great cultivator in the Divine Martial Realm, Xiang Haoqian has learned more than others.
At the beginning of the war between the human race and the monster race, although he did not have the opportunity to experience it personally.
But also knew.
Although the human race won that battle, the forces that were destroyed due to the war were incalculable. Even the imperial court itself suffered heavy losses, and almost wiped out half of the population of the human race in the first battle.
until thousands of years have passed.
This loss will gradually recover.
such a result.
Or because of the emperor's suppression of the family.
Now that the human emperor is dying, there is no second human emperor in the world.
If the two races start a war, it will definitely be more tragic and terrifying than thousands of years ago.
Don't look at the fact that Yuan Zong is not weak now.
If you really want to stand in front of such a general trend, you will turn into fly ash in an instant.
Qin Shujian said, "How much does Master Xiang know about the demon clan?"
"I don't know much about it, but I do know a little." Xiang Haoqian pondered for a while, and said, "The demon clan has a very strong reproductive ability.
The monsters in the Endless Mountains are actually the products derived from monsters and ordinary beasts, and they are half-monsters and half-beasts.
These monsters not only inherited the cultivation talent of the monsters, but also inherited the low intelligence of the beasts. Although they are not recognized by the monsters, when it comes to strength and numbers, they are a big help from the monsters. "
Speaking of which.
He paused and then said, "Some people once speculated that there may be more monsters in the Endless Mountains than there are humans!"
Hear this.
Except for Qin Shujian, everyone in the hall changed color.
There are more monsters than humans.
What kind of concept is this.
No one can accurately say how many human races exist in the territory of Da Zhao's billions of miles.
But one thing is for sure.
The number of human races is at least hundreds of billions, or even as many as trillions.
Under this premise.
If the number of monsters is equal, or exceeds, it will be too terrifying.
After all, in the huge population base of the human race, there are still many ordinary people who do not know how to cultivate. As for monsters, even if they are weak, they will be much stronger than ordinary people when they are adults.
Thus.
The gap between the two sides is too obvious.
"The words to the elders are a bit alarmist. If there are really such a number of monsters, why haven't they stepped out of the Endless Mountains for so many years, is it just because of the human emperor's shock?"
"The old man just heard about it."
Xiang Hao shook his head with a light smile, and then his expression turned solemn.
"But one thing is certain, every few months, the imperial court will send a large number of strong men into the Endless Mountains with the aim of killing monsters."
