This... everyone hesitated.
If Qin Chen agreed to let them all go and then let them lead their respective forces to attack the Xuanyuan Empire, they would agree without hesitation.
After all, how much effort they put in would still be up to them to decide.
But now Qin Chen's intention was to have them send messages to notify their respective forces to attack the Xuanyuan Empire. If they happened to run into the head of the Xuanyuan Emperor, their forces would naturally be completely wiped out.
"What's wrong? No one is speaking?"
Qin Chen smiled, but that smile appeared particularly cold.
"City Lord Qin..."
Someone was dry-mouthed and was about to speak, but Qin Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, I was just joking with you all."
Although Qin Chen said it was a joke, none of this group relaxed; their faces remained pale, anxious and uneasy.
This joke was not funny at all.
"City Lord Qin, may I ask how you plan to handle us?"
At this moment, the leader of Wanbao Tower stepped forward, a top elder of Wanbao Tower, and at the peak of Martial God level, he respectfully said.
His tone was respectful, yet neither servile nor overbearing.
He came from Wanbao Tower and did not believe that Qin Chen would kill all of them. Moreover, if Qin Chen was indeed the successor of the Broken Dust Martial Emperor from back then, the Broken Dust Martial Emperor was also an honorary elder of Wanbao Tower, so there was quite a connection between them.
Qin Chen laughed, "Everyone, rest assured, I will not take action against anyone or any force. In fact, I have already let go of the Wuxiang Martial God and the Jingshen Martial God."
What?
The Wuxiang Martial God and Jingshen Martial God have already been released?
Everyone was shocked; how could this be possible? These two were high-ranking officials of the Xuanyuan Empire, and Qin Chen actually released them?
"My conflict with Feng Shaoyu is merely a matter between the two of us, unrelated to the Xuanyuan Empire. Besides, I believe that the vast majority of people in the Xuanyuan Empire are unaware of the collusion between Feng Shaoyu and the Piao Miao Palace, as well as the Demon Tribe. For the future of the continent, I naturally will not easily kill any strong individual from the continent."
"However..."
Qin Chen's gaze scanned the crowd, "In light of the Piao Miao Palace's collusion with the Demon Tribe, I plan to join forces with the Bloodline Holy Land to establish a Human Alliance, the purpose of which is to attack the Piao Miao Palace and resist the Demon Tribe."
Isn't this similar to what Feng Shaoyu and Yan Guan did earlier?
A murmur arose among the crowd.
Is this to force them to express their stance?
"Rest assured, the Human Alliance established by Tianlei City and the Bloodline Holy Land will not threaten you all. You do not need to agree in advance; you can consider it carefully once you return, especially for forces like Wanbao Tower, which certainly requires high-level decision-making. Furthermore, I will announce it to the world, including the Alchemy Pavilion and the Artifact Hall; anyone who wishes to join this alliance may do so voluntarily, without any coercion."
"And now, you all may return; the Bloodline Holy Land will no longer obstruct you."
When these words came out from Qin Chen, everyone was shocked; could it be that there was such good news?
"By the way." Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Qin Chen suddenly said, "Tianqian Mountain, Di Yue Sect... these forces stay behind."
Every time Qin Chen named a force, the expression of the people from that force changed because those he mentioned were the forces that had first responded to Yan Guan's approval to attack Tianlei City.
"In light of your previous performance, you must leave a trace of your soul imprint in the Bloodline Holy Land before you can leave," Qin Chen said coldly.
"City Lord Qin, what do you mean by this?"
"Leaving a soul imprint is impossible."
The people from these forces changed their expressions and angrily retorted.
Forcing them to leave a soul imprint would mean that their lives and deaths would be at the mercy of the Bloodline Holy Land?
