Chapter 174 The Balance of Terror

"Let's go!" the 'Taishanghuang' said softly.

"What!" Hearing this answer, no matter whether it was from the Qixia Kingdom or the masters from the Jinyang Kingdom, they were stunned.

Just let it go? Shouldn't these more than 500 masters be killed in one go, and the vitality of the country of Jinyang will be seriously injured?

He Dongkui was shocked for a long time before he gradually realized, and then hesitantly said: "Then these people..."

He Dongkui refers to the comatose hostages on the ground who were snatched back by Zhang Hao and the alchemists of the Kingdom of Jinyang. After a lot of war, there are still more than 30 people alive, and these are all seeds from the country of Jinyang.

"roll!"

The sound of 'rolling' was as mighty as a sea wave, echoing among the mountains.

He Dongkui's complexion suddenly changed, but he had no choice but to squeeze out a stiff smile, make a bow, and retreat a distance of three feet before turning around and flying away with everyone.

For the strong, you need to maintain the necessary humility. Otherwise, death will be in vain!

"Everyone come down." The Supreme Emperor's tone was soft, he first sat down on the northern seat of the alchemy square, and everyone fell to the ground slowly, but all stood still.

Zhang Hao couldn't bear it at first, he strode up to the other party, and after meeting him, he asked, "I don't know how to address you?"

"Just call me senior."

"Senior, why did you let go of the masters of the Jinyang Kingdom? The Jinyang Kingdom has turned its face, just this war just now, from what I saw, 7 Nascent Soul Stages fell from our side , Hundreds of people were killed or injured in the Jindan period, and hundreds of Xinglin Hall personnel were affected.

But now, you let them go!

With your strength and our 300 yuan infants, we can definitely keep them here! "

Zhang Hao's words were a little excited, not only Zhang Hao, but most of the rest of the people looked at the previous emperor and the Supreme Emperor.

"Hey...do you think I don't want to? It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! There is an unwritten rule among countries, that is: the stage of transformation of the gods cannot do anything to the stage of the Nascent Soul and below.

If I do it today, you...you won't survive tomorrow! No one can stop the assassination of the god transformation stage! "

Zhang Hao's heart was shocked, but he also understood instantly, this is: the balance of terror. Another world also has a balance of terror: nuclear peace!

Although many countries have nuclear weapons, when all countries have nuclear weapons, the world will be peaceful. No one dared to start a war lightly.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at everyone: "For everyone's dedication today, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Qixia Kingdom. The Qixia Kingdom will give compensation."

Zhang Hao retreated, and someone came out to ask again: "Senior, we are from the country of Zhoushan, what about our side?"

The Supreme Emperor shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet. The country of Jinyang has been planning for a long time, and this attack is very sudden, and we don't have much information until now.

But you don't need to worry too much. Although the country of Jinyang is powerful, it is impossible to go to war with other countries at the same time. We should be the only ones being attacked right now. They might want to coerce Xinglintang to refine medicine for them!

However, the wolfish ambitions of the Kingdom of Jinyang have been revealed. Everyone can go home and have a look, and leave a few people to follow me back to the imperial capital to receive compensation. "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and quickly dispersed; but the trading houses from the East stayed behind. Of course, the prisoners of the Kingdom of Jinyang also stayed.

This annual alchemy event ended hastily like this.

…………

Under the setting sun, Zhang Hao stood in front of the library, watching Huang Mingshan and others put all the materials about ore research in the library onto the vehicle.

But what Zhang Hao recalled in his mind was this short but intense battle of masters. Unlike the last battle seen in Jingshan City, this time it was a battle of complete masters, without any magic weapon of war.

In the end, the scene of masters in the transformation stage shocked Zhang Hao even more.

This is a prosperous age of cultivation! This time, I finally saw the tip of the iceberg!

Zhang Hao had to rethink and adjust the future development direction of the Zhang family.

Zhou Shuhai walked slowly, with a sad expression on his face. He walked to Zhang Hao and stood silently without speaking. He was still wearing a simple black gown, with white linen hanging around his left arm.

Zhang Hao didn't speak either, and stood quietly with Zhou Shuhai.

As the setting sun gradually set, the elder elders pulling the figures of the two men merged with the shadow of the mountain mist.

It wasn't until Huang Mingshan carefully came to Zhang Hao's side, saying that the books had been moved, that Zhang Hao nodded and told Huang Mingshan and others to prepare to leave. In exchange for a large amount of Peiyuan Dan, Zhuji Dan, etc., return lightly.

After Huang Mingshan left, Zhang Hao finally spoke slowly: "Uncle Shi, ordinary pills... can't save the country!"

Zhou Shuhai looked at the empty study building, seeing his achievements of decades being transferred, with a complicated expression on his face. It took a long time before he sighed: "Let Xueyao go with you. Xueyao has done the most research on ores in the past two years; her current research on ores is probably higher than mine."

Zhang Hao turned his head to look at Zhou Shuhai, a little shocked. Previously, even if he wanted to visit the injured Zhou Xueyao, he was rejected by this 'stingy' father, and even made an unreasonable request of 'hiring alchemists from Xinglintang twice the price'. But at this time, they actually took the initiative to "send" Zhou Xueyao here?

Zhou Shuhai didn't speak any more, he turned around slowly and left. His steps were heavy and he seemed confused.

Seeing Zhou Shuhai's back gradually blending into the night, Zhang Hao suddenly felt a little sad. A sudden war changed this benevolent man who was determined to use pills to save the six western countries.

Perhaps in Zhou Shuhai's view, the reason why the West is weak is because of the elixir. The reason why the West is exploited by the East is also because of the elixir.

Therefore, he always felt that as long as he could refine the elixir, he could save the West. For this, he even studied ores, a large number of minerals.

But the cruelty of reality shattered his last dream. The world showed its cruelest side in front of him!

He Dongkui's words and Jinyang Kingdom's decision pushed this benevolent man who had devoted a hundred years of hard work to the development of alchemy in the West to the edge of a cliff. Below the cliff is a rolling evil!

At this moment, Zhang Hao thought again of Zhou Shuhai's previous request of "twice the price of an alchemist": Perhaps, he was not only angry, but also worried—worried that the 'killing medicine' would appear in this world!

But the Kingdom of Jinyang destroyed the last hope.

Since the "medicine to save lives" cannot save the West, the only choice is "drug to kill".

In fact, this surprise attack also made Zhang Hao heartbroken—Lv Yang, one of the two masters who previously refined the Dutian Lie Huo Formation, died in battle.

If there is one less talent, will the progress of the project be slowed down in the future?

As the night darkened, the Zhang family's convoy was advancing in the dark.

Zhou Xueyao sat beside Zhang Hao, her face was a little pale, without the slightest smile. Eyes, staring blankly at the boundless night.

Tonight, cloudy, no stars.
