Unrest Erupts Everywhere, Signs of Chaos Emerge!
Thinking of this--
Qin Xiao was in a state of utter confusion, though he maintained a composed demeanor on the surface...
But he felt the urgency more than anyone else; as the ruler of a powerful force, he was acutely aware of the consequences of Nascent Soul True Lord's demise...
Regardless of whether it's true or not, once the Ten Nations Alliance fails, what awaits the entire northern kingdoms is the southward invasion and annihilation by the Ice and Snow Demon Race!
The Great Zhou State, although it did not directly confront the Ice and Snow Demon Race...
However, in the north, there is the Frost Spirit Demon Race, which is also a branch of the Ice and Snow Demon Race. According to the current information, the Frost Spirit Demon Race has two Fourth-Tier Core Formation Kings!
Although the Second Elder was killed by Qin Lu, there is still the Frost Demons Third Elder, who could break through to the Fourth-Tier at any time...
Within the Frost Spirit Demon Domain, there are more than ten Frost Demons tribes!
A rough estimate suggests there are at least twenty more Third-Tier great demons remaining. While their overall strength is weaker than that of the Da Zhou, this only includes the Frost Spirit Demon Race...
If the Northern Ice and Snow Demon Race is determined to reignite the war between humans and demons!
That's definitely not just about the northern Demon Race. Considering the sea monsters that wreaked havoc in the Eastern Sea many years ago, it's likely that the Sea Race have been plotting this for a long time...
The more Qin Xiao thought about it, the more horrified he became!
"A chaotic world is about to break out!"
Before he could dwell on his emotions, Qin Xiao vanished into the Boundless Mystic Realm...
Vast Dao Field - atop the Central Peak
Qin Xiao briefly described the current situation: on a grand scale, this matter could reignite the ancient war between humans and demons that began ten thousand years ago...
On a smaller scale, as long as the Myriad Nations of the Central Lands remain in order, sending a few Nascent Soul True Lord would be enough to suppress this turmoil...
The real danger is that chaos is brewing even in the Central Lands!
Looking at Qin Lu, however, he remained as calm as a rock, showing no sign of panic whatsoever...
"Xiao'er, don't be anxious."
"Even if the sky falls, it's the tall ones who will hold it up. Right now, the situation is changing rapidly, chaos is beginning to emerge, and the real disaster will come from losing one's footing..."
"North of the Da Zhou lies the Northern Frontier under our clan's rule, where we will face the invasion of the Frost Spirit Demon Race. Right now, all we can do is stabilize the situation!"
"The nine protectorates are sufficient to serve as a bulwark for the Northern Province and a buffer zone between war zones..."
"The Da Zhou Imperial Family isn't stupid; they fully understand the importance of the Northern Province. Once the Northern Province falls, their next move will be to advance south into the heart of the Da Zhou!"
"Reinforcements will come. If we abandon the Northern Province, the Da Zhou will collapse on its own..."
"Moreover, the Ten Nations Alliance occupies a vast territory and cannot be completely disintegrated in a short period of time. Even if a Nascent Soul True Lord were to fall..."
"The Myriad Nations of the Central Lands will likely react as well."
"I remember in High Antiquity times, when the sages of the Human Race fought a great war against the Demon Race, they set up a teleportation array in the north, so that if there was any danger in the north..."
"The Myriad Nations of the Central Lands will surely dispatch high-ranking cultivators to arrive immediately!"
"Just wait and see..."
"I believe we'll hear new news within a month..."
"If the Demon Race dares to start a war, some of the old monsters of the Human Race might be eager for another conflict, especially the powerful demons!"
"Each of them is a treasure trove, especially certain Demon Beast; consuming their flesh and blood can even help with the reproduction of their offspring..."
"It can even have the effect of prolonging life!"
"My son, the human heart is most greedy. Do you think those old monsters of the Human Race are truly afraid of war, or are they secretly delighted?"
"If Human Race were truly afraid, how could there be the northern kingdoms we know today?"
"Looking across the Da Zhou territory, high-level Demon Beast are almost extinct. If the Demon Race dares to fight, I wonder how many high-ranking Human Race will gloat!"
Speaking of this--
Qin Xiao was even more puzzled and asked, "But Father, won't many people die like this? Letting the Demon Race race run rampant..."
"Wouldn't that cripple the northern kingdoms?"
"Although our clan is growing stronger day by day, in this grand scheme, we will inevitably suffer collateral damage, Non-Self clan can afford..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lu smiled indifferently, his eyes gradually becoming vacant, as if he had seen through everything, and said:
"My son, as a king, would you care about the lives of the mortals under your rule?"
"In other words, as long as it's within acceptable limits, you, as the king, wouldn't care how many mortals die in order to achieve your goal..."
"And we are merely mortals in the eyes of those ancient kingdoms and empires."
"No matter how many die, as long as the foundation of Human Race remains unshaken, we are nothing more than a bunch of ants that can be replaced at any time..."
"Ever since I, as your father, traveled north, I've become more open-minded."
"Human Race value wisdom, so how could the Demon Race Human Race possibly compete with them in their schemes? And the Demon Race's plan this time began hundreds of years ago..."
"To this day, in these past few hundred years, not a single high-ranking Human Race cultivator has discovered anything amiss, which is strange in itself!"
"Over the years, I, as your father, have also pondered this matter..."
"In my opinion, this is nothing more than a scheme devised by those old monsters of the Human Race, designed to lure out those old demons..."
"This game is far too complex."
"Even I, your father, could occasionally learn of the Demon Race's schemes. It's truly hard to imagine what those ancient ghosts who have lived for thousands of years could possibly do..."
"Wouldn't anyone notice the slightest clue?"
That's all there is to it--
Qin Xiao nodded, understanding now. After his father's explanation and reflecting on everything that had happened, it did indeed seem rather strange...
If that's the case, then we can only let things take their course and make plans after we've assessed the situation.
Once the teleportation array is set up, the Qin Clan can rest easy, and if things turn sour, they can immediately flee to another place...
They are in an invincible position and can withdraw from this grand scheme at any time!
"Father, I understand. Please rest assured, I know how to handle this. Just watch..."
Having said that--
Qin Xiao rose and bowed. His anxious heart had instantly turned calm. In this chaotic world, his Qin Clan was already invincible...
Why not take advantage of this chaotic world and reap a huge harvest!
Demon Beast are treasures from head to toe. The Qin Clan couldn't handle those Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier demonic beasts, but those first and second-tier Demon Beast...
Isn't it also part of the Qin Clan's resources?!
Only by stopping killing with killing, and controlling violence with violence, can we find the true meaning of this chaotic world!
soon--
The Qin Clan made a move, while everyone was still completely bewildered...
The Qin Clan then followed the example of the Ten Nations Alliance and built a Ten Thousand Li city wall in the north: the Northern Cold Protectorate, the Northern Cry Protectorate, and the Northern Wind Protectorate!
In a short period of time, the Qin Clan mobilized countless manpower and resources...
The three northern prefectures are connected by the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall, forming a formidable pass to the north, although most sections of the Great Wall...
It was all made of earth and stones, like a wall, but it was enough to keep out ordinary beasts!
The real key to resisting the beast tide lies in the construction using spirit forging, which is more than enough to withstand the attacks of Second-Tier Demon Beast!
even--
As time goes by, this makeshift Ten Thousand Li Great Wall will become more and more comprehensive, and the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Qin Clan!
