Most of the kings and nobles were so shocked that they rose from their seats, unable to hide their shock and horror.

They thought Han Chi was just talking, but no one expected that he would actually take action... without anyone knowing.

Yes, including other members of the Divine Emperor Palace.

This can be seen from the astonished expressions on the faces of Marquis Liegu, Duke Tianqing, and others; they too were kept in the dark.

"Take Shenqian and hand him over to the Wu Clan. With just this little bit of sincerity, we can make the Wu Clan share the prosperity of the 'Yuan Land' with our human race. And if our human race joins forces with the Wu Clan, we can easily rule over all races and recreate the glorious ancient era. Why not do it?"

With a hint of fanaticism in his expression, Duke Han Chi of Yanshan opened his arms and spoke in a highly seductive tone.

While many kings and nobles were somewhat at a loss, Wu Wei sneered, "A little sincerity? Is the Witch Clan's appetite so small that they only want Shen Qian? What were they doing all those years ago? Back then, Shen Qian hadn't even been born yet!"

"Lord Yanshan, you might as well speak frankly, what else have you betrayed?"

Faced with Wu Wei's incisive question, Yanshan Gong calmly replied, "It's nothing more than dividing the territory and ceding some resources. Compared to the losses brought by the war, these are all within our tolerance."

"Tolerance range?"

Wu Wei laughed heartily, then his expression suddenly turned serious. "Then I will tell you, in the name of the Minister of Martial Arts of China, what is the limit of what my human race can compromise on... that is, the Witch Clan and all other races must get out of Earth and be permanently sealed off!"

"Wu Wei, are you crazy? Do you think this is possible?" Han Chi sneered.

"You're the madman!" Wu Wei sneered. "A dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal actually broke his own bones and knelt down. You're unworthy of being human, worse than a pig or a dog!"

Duke Yanshan was finally enraged. He tore off his calm facade, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and waved his hand, saying, "What are you waiting for?"

Tianqing Gong and the others exchanged glances, knowing there was no way out. One terrifying aura after another rose up in the hall, causing the entire hall to tremble almost instantly.

Rest!

With a whooshing sound, the dozen or so kings and nobles of the Divine Emperor Palace had already tacitly occupied the four sides of the main hall, cutting off everyone's way out.

Moreover, dozens of foreign princes and nobles rose up and joined the encirclement.

"Poseidon, Hades... what are you doing!"

The other foreign princes were also shocked and furious, and shouts and curses rang out in various languages.

He lacked sufficient knowledge in this area and could only barely understand a few sentences of English. Other sounds were almost like bird language to him.

"I knew the Divine Emperor Palace's strength was not limited to this. I didn't expect you to know how to find another way, and even have connections with foreign kings and nobles."

Although Wu Wei was surprised, he remained calm and simply said coldly.

Han Chi ignored Wu Wei, suddenly soaring into the air and standing in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back. His threatening gaze swept over all the figures in the hall. "My Divine Emperor Palace intends to take over the fate of the human race. Those who follow can share the secrets of chaos. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The hall fell silent.

Han Chi made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent; clearly, anyone who uttered a single word of "no" would be met with a furious barrage of attacks.

"Han Chi, I knew you were a wolf in sheep's clothing. I was just passing by the Plum Garden and didn't go in, and you held a grudge against me. All three of my personal disciples who have been my disciples over the years have died mysteriously. I'm sure that was your doing!"

A nobleman from China suddenly stepped forward and angrily shouted, "Your actions today are tantamount to treason! It seems the rumors were true; the Marquis of Jingcheng did indeed die at your hands!"

"Lord Lingyan, it seems you are still stubbornly clinging to your delusions!" Duke Yanshan looked over indifferently.

"What a joke! What can you do to me!" Marquis Lingyan sneered, his figure suddenly becoming ethereal.

Although the people from the Divine Emperor Palace sealed off the area around the main hall, those present were all kings and nobles, many of whom were proficient in the Dao of Space. Simply cutting off the surrounding area obviously could not truly trap them.

This is also the source of Lingyan Hou's confidence to be the first to stand up and angrily rebuke Han Chi.

Han Chi watched without changing his expression, even with a faint hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Marquis Lingyan's expression changed drastically.

Because his figure blurred several times, he was still unable to completely disappear from the hall, as if some invisible constraint was firmly sealing his form.

Seeing this, the other kings and nobles, who were not initially panicked, subconsciously tried various methods to escape, but without exception, all their attempts to break free ended in failure.

"Formation!"

"When was an array set up in this main hall?"

All the princes and nobles were terrified.

"No one can leave this place today unless they join the Divine Emperor's Palace," Han Chi said calmly.

All the kings and nobles looked at each other in bewilderment.

Today, kings and nobles from all over the world have gathered here. Although most of them are avatars, Han Chi's meaning is very clear: if they do not join the God Emperor's Palace, even as avatars, they will likely perish.

As for the kings and nobles who had come here, their hearts were heavy.

"Your two clones are nothing but clones. So what if they perish? Han Chi, if you think that this will make us join you in your evil ways, you are utterly ridiculous!"

It was Marquis Lingyan who calmed down first and sneered.

"Just an avatar?" Han Chi nodded. "Indeed, I can only kill one of your avatars right now, but if I leave behind a trace of your avatar's spirit, where can your true body escape to?"

As Marquis Lingyan's expression changed, Han Chi's smile gradually became sinister. "You kings and nobles whose true forms are outside the capital, without Wu Wei's leadership and organization, you are nothing but a disorganized mess. After today, I will have plenty of time to settle accounts with you one by one!"
