The king looked at the people who were deep in thought. He knew that they were wavering.
It wasn't easy to convince them to attack the Cottage with the Qin Dynasty. Even though the Fuyun Sword Clan and the Royal Xuan Temple were close to them, they still wouldn't be willing to face an enemy like the Cottage directly. Every force had their own selfish motives. Only when the Cottage truly threatened their existence would they decide whether or not to attack.
What he wanted to tell everyone now was that the Qin Dynasty's threat to them was much lower than the Cottage's. Otherwise, why would they follow the Qin Dynasty to attack the Cottage?
"When the Qin Dynasty was the ruler of the Eastern Barren Territory, all the forces in the world coexisted. The clans still developed orderly. The dynasty ruled the world but didn't interfere with the existence of the clans. It will be the same in the future. If the Qin Dynasty controls the world, we will naturally share everything with everyone. The Donghua Clan and I created the Dongqin College together for the cultivators in the world. The future situation won't be too different from now."
The king continued to persuade them. "Now, the Qin Dynasty has even found our ancestor's tomb. There are many ancient books inside. Thus, even the ultimate techniques of the Qin Dynasty are placed in the Dongqin College for the disciples to cultivate. When we create a new era together, it will be even more so. The Qin Dynasty will never be selfish. Instead, we hope that all the forces can develop and prosper together. We won't be like the Cottage. When forces like the Sword Saint Mountain spread throughout the Eastern Barren Territory, there will be no place for you."
Everyone's eyes flashed and their hearts became heavier. As expected, the Qin Dynasty actually obtained the ancestor's tomb. Their power must have increased greatly. Moreover, they clearly said that they would revive the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is right," an elder from the Yin Family of Chaoge City said. "The Cottage doesn't care about the other forces anymore. They're extremely arrogant and look down on everyone. What about the future?"
"One word from the Cottage in the future and the Eastern Barren Territory will probably tremble in fear."
Many people agreed but the people from the top forces remained silent. Would the Qin Dynasty really be like what the king said? They wouldn't believe him so easily. The destruction of the Liu Kingdom was a living example.
If the Qin Dynasty really unified the Eastern Barren Territory, who knew what would happen then?
At the moment, both the College Cottage and the Qin Dynasty were far more powerful than the Liu Kingdom. If they fought alone, they would definitely end up like the Liu Kingdom.
This was also the most difficult problem for the various forces to solve. They were weak, but the Qin Dynasty had shown their ambition to unify the Eastern Barren Territory. They wanted them to choose a side, but whether they chose a side or not, they would still be in danger.
If he didn't pick a side now, what if the Qin Dynasty won? Wouldn't it be another Liu Kingdom?
What if he lost if he chose a side?
Now, no one knew the true strength of the Qin Dynasty and the College Cottage. The Qin Dynasty's confidence came from their own strength, their alliance with the Donghua Clan, and the excavation of their ancestor's tomb. On the other hand, the Cottage's confidence was mysterious. Until now, no one knew whether Mr. Du from the Cottage knew how to cultivate or what level he was at.
"I know that you all still have some concerns and are worried that I won't keep my promise, but don't worry about this. As long as you are willing to ally with the Qin Dynasty to fight against the Cottage, I will bring you to the ancestor's tomb. You will be baptized by the sages and inherit the Sage Weapon. I am even willing to make a blood oath in front of the ancestors' memorial tablets that the Qin Dynasty's goal is to restore the glory of our ancestors and not to be an ambitious person who only wants to be supreme," the king of the Qin Dynasty said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people's hearts trembled. Their eyes sparkled and they were all somewhat tempted.
Only real benefits could move people's hearts.
The unification of the Eastern Barren Territory would come sooner or later. They couldn't control the trend at all. Since the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Liu Kingdom and the Cottage destroyed Qin Ge, the situation in the Eastern Barren Territory had changed from subtle to direct and could explode at any time. The pace of the era was accelerated and no one could stop this trend.
Previously, the king of the Qin Dynasty kept talking about the threat of the Cottage. Now, he mentioned the baptism of the sages and the Sage Weapon. How could they not be tempted?
"Master, if we want to gain the upper hand in the future, we must first gain their trust. Time waits for no one. The relationship between the Royal Xuan Temple and the Cottage is already irreparable unless we kidnap the fifth lord and give him to the Cottage," Xia Luo, the disciple of the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple, said to his master telepathically.
The eyes of the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple sparkled. He knew that his disciple was speaking the truth. However, to the Royal Xuan Temple, it was obviously impossible to kidnap the fifth lord and give him to the Cottage. Then, how could the Royal Xuan Temple still have the face to stand in the Eastern Barren Territory?
"Master, it's time to make a decision. There's a difference between being the first to agree and being forced to agree. If the five lords of the Royal Xuan Temple can all receive the baptism of the sages and get the Sage Weapon, we won't have to worry about not being able to stand in the Eastern Barren Territory in the future. Right now, we can only think about maximizing the benefits," Xia Luo continued to persuade his master when he saw that his master was still hesitating.
The first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple naturally knew that his disciple was speaking the truth. He glanced at the people from the other forces and communicated telepathically with the other lords. The fifth lord, He Yulu, naturally supported the idea. Before long, the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple said, "The Cottage has always been unscrupulous and forced the disciples of the Royal Xuan Temple to kill them. The Royal Xuan Temple has been unhappy about this for a long time. However, we were not as powerful as them and could only endure it. Now that the king of the Qin Dynasty is willing to command the world to attack the Cottage, the Royal Xuan Temple is naturally more than happy to do so. We are willing to join the army of the Qin Dynasty and attack them."
As soon as the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence. Had a top force finally made a decision?
Everyone knew that the moment he finished speaking, the Royal Xuan Temple had truly started to be tied to the chariot of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty, the Donghua Clan, and the Royal Xuan Temple. The three forces were one.
The king of the Qin Dynasty's eyes sparkled. Finally, a force had expressed its stance. He knew that what the Qin Dynasty needed the most right now was a catalyst. The declaration of the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple was enough to shake the psychological defenses of the other top forces.
The trend had been set. Even if they didn't want to get on the chariot, they had to.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Xia Luo who was sitting behind the lord of the Royal Xuan Temple. Xia Luo's real surname was Qin. He had been working in the Royal Xuan Temple for many years just for this moment. His son would be able to help his elder brother Qin Yu in the future.
At the moment, Xia Luo was also extremely excited, but he still suppressed it. He had been sent to the Royal Xuan Temple since he was young and was naturally very good at hiding his emotions. He had been in the Royal Xuan Temple for many years and had never shown any closeness to the Qin Dynasty. In fact, they had almost no contact at all. It was not until Chaoge City that he started to carry out the Qin Dynasty's plan. Now, at this crucial moment, he finally played a role.
He knew very well that what the top forces needed now was a catalyst. He played this role very well and made the first lord of the Royal Xuan Temple feel a little better.
"Great. With the first lord's words, the Qin Dynasty, the Donghua Clan, and the Royal Xuan Temple will definitely be able to achieve great things. Who else is willing to work together to create a new era?" the king of the Qin Dynasty asked loudly.
"We swear to follow Your Majesty," the Yin Family of Chaoge City said.
"We will follow Your Majesty and attack the Cottage." The voices rose and fell one after another, forming a powerful force. The forces that followed the Qin Dynasty naturally knew when to do what. The Royal Xuan Temple had already agreed. It was time to let the other forces feel that this flood could not be stopped.
At the moment, the top forces were in this wave and all felt a faint pressure. The eyes of the leader of the Fuyun Sword Clan flashed. Then, he also said, "The Fuyun Sword Clan is also willing to follow the Qin Dynasty."
"Great. With the Fuyun Sword Clan joining us, we don't have to worry about failing," the king of the Qin Dynasty said with a laugh.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for attacking the Cottage and conquering the Eastern Barren Territory." The voices were vast and even more intense. The Witch Clan, the Ji Family, and the Moon Clan sat in their respective seats. Looking at the situation in front of them, they sighed inwardly.
Although the Cottage's current abilities were unknown, the College and the Cottage would probably not be able to resist such a great force. Even if Mr. Du from the Cottage knew how to cultivate, he should not be stronger than the College Chief of the College. The top figures of the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan were enough to fight against them.
In the Qin Imperial Palace, the voices turned into a terrifying flood and spread out towards the outside. Countless people in the distance seemed to feel the power of this flood and their hearts trembled.
A new era was about to arrive. Were the College and the Cottage going to be destroyed?
At that moment, outside of the Qin Imperial Palace, in the midst of the vast crowd, a silhouette in black appeared. This person had an ordinary appearance and was wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind. He had a head full of jet-black hair and a pair of eyes that were as deep as the stars, making him look extraordinary.
Amidst the roaring waves, he walked calmly towards the palace step by step. Occasionally, someone's gaze would fall on him, faintly sensing the temperament he exuded. They could not help but raise their eyebrows, thinking to themselves that this person was obviously ordinary, but why was it that he could make it hard for people to look away from him?
It was as if the moment they saw him, they knew that he was not as ordinary as he looked. Instead, he was an extremely extraordinary person.
The figure quickly walked to the front of the palace and walked into the palace.
"Who are you?" a guard outside the palace asked when he saw the person.
He ignored them and continued to walk towards the palace. A faint aura emanated from his body.
Seeing this, a guard walked up and said, "Stop."
It was as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward. The guards released their killing intent, but in the next moment, when the black-robed man took a step forward, an invisible flow of air flowed. In just an instant, the surrounding space seemed to have frozen, and the guards stood there like statues, not moving an inch.
They just watched as the man in black walked past them and into the palace.
The guards quickly moved. They felt their bodies were drenched in sweat, and their faces were filled with shock. What a terrifying person. Just now, they had a feeling that as long as they moved, they would be smashed into pieces and consigned to eternal damnation!
