"Please, King Zhouyi, intervene and punish Shen Qian!"
Xie Zhenhua shouted as he knelt down on the square.
Although there is a distinction between royalty and the prestigious Shanhai, in ordinary circumstances, one would at most bow to pay respects. Not to mention that Xie Zhenhua is the principal of one of the top four universities in China, a nationally renowned and long-established Shanhai, where he would directly kneel in worship.
However, some insiders understand why Xie Zhenhua did this.
"It is said that the first wife of the Marquis of Zhengxi was surnamed Wen..."
Someone whispered something, and at such a sensitive moment, almost everyone in the mountains and seas had their senses fully activated, so everyone heard it instantly.
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
The Wu clan of Zhengxibo were among the second batch of kings and marquises to rise after the spiritual energy revival, and they were only one generation younger than the Ninth King.
Although "bohou" is only the lowest rank among kings and marquises, a king or marquis is still a king or marquis!
The more seasoned a veteran like Xie Zhenhua is, the more he understands the terrifying power of kings and nobles.
China is a vast country. Although it doesn't have many mountains and seas, if we really count them, including the countless overseas areas, the number of martial artists from the mountains and seas is at least tens of thousands.
How many kings and nobles are there?
Wen Zhe not only chose Hua Wu, but also directly became Xie Zhenhua's disciple. In a sense, Xie Zhenhua had an obligation to take care of him.
But at this moment, Wen Zhe, a close relative of the Marquis of Zhengxi, died directly on the battlefield of the Nine Heavens. Even though the fault did not lie with Hua Wu, when a king is angry, he doesn't care about so many causes and effects.
No wonder Xie Zhenhua knelt down and begged Zhou Yiwang to uphold justice.
At this moment, some people secretly cursed the old fox.
Regardless of whether King Zhouyi would intervene in the Nine Heavens War because of the death of Wen Zhe, Xie Zhenhua's humble attitude, which could even be described as shameless, would likely make it difficult for the Duke of Zhengxi to criticize him afterwards.
However, before King Zhou Yi could say anything after Xie Zhenhua spoke, the Earl of Pingyang let out a cold laugh.
"Professor Ning Zhiyuan just said that life and death are predestined. Wasn't that something you Huawu people brought up first? What, Principal Xie, are you going to contradict yourself so quickly?"
"Please, King Zhouyi, intervene and punish Shen Qian!"
Although both were university presidents, Pingyang Bo and Xie Zhenhua were clearly not on the same level. Therefore, Xie Zhenhua wisely did not argue with Pingyang Bo, but instead pressed his head to the ground again and repeated.
The Earl of Pingyang was now at a loss for words and could only let out a cold snort and give up.
After that, the royal seats fell silent. Even Wu Wei didn't speak, and Xie Zhenhua, after repeating himself several times without receiving a response, stopped talking and continued to kneel in worship.
Although many people on the high platform were also angry about Chen Qian's actions, everyone knew the truth.
With only Wen Zhe dead, there's no question of Shen Qian violating the rules. The kings and nobles probably just want to handle it quietly. After all, although Wen Zhe has the support of the Marquis of Zhengxi, is Shen Qian's background any less impressive?
This can be seen from the fact that so many people were ruined before the sinking, but apart from the people of Shanhai making a fuss, the kings and nobles rarely spoke up.
Therefore, after a brief period of chaos, the square quickly fell silent, with only Xie Zhenhua kneeling persistently in the square.
This kneeling lasted for an hour.
Although few people spoke out, undercurrents were running deep.
Xie Zhenhua's insistence was not entirely due to a show of force; he was clearly waiting for a more suitable opportunity.
Many martial artists from the mountains and seas were also waiting on the high platform.
From another perspective, although the princes and nobles remained silent, apart from the Earl of Pingyang, no one reprimanded Xie Zhenhua, which also carries a certain deeper meaning.
One Wen Zhe might not be enough; what if we add other people?
Unfortunately, as time goes by, the number of martial artists in the square who are directly or indirectly eliminated before the sinking is gradually decreasing.
On the virtual projection, Shen Qian moved extremely fast in the Third Heaven, and no longer drove away martial artists on a large scale as before, which disappointed many people.
until……
In fact, almost everyone present had noticed beforehand that there were nine martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm standing at the Fourth Heaven Gate.
As Cheng Qingqing and Ning Zhiyuan watched Shen Qian head in that direction without stopping for a moment, a hint of worry flashed in their eyes, while the martial artists from other universities also had their eyes flickering.
The reason why the Nine Great Mountains and Seas lingered at the Fourth Heaven Gate is obvious to everyone.
Shen Qian was clearly still unaware of the situation.
"Either you get eliminated before the final push, but if you can still manage to kill two or three people in a burst of energy, that would be the best outcome."
The mountains and seas whispered within a small area.
Many people nodded knowingly, which was actually the judgment of most people.
Although Shen Qian was ranked on the Ninth Heaven Ranking, most people estimated that his combat power was just over 20,000.
This is also evidenced by Ji You's own judgment in the final battle of the Nine Heavens Cup, which stated that before sinking, he probably possessed the combat power of the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
One against nine, while the other nine are on high alert, he's likely to stumble before he sinks.
The most likely outcome is a lose-lose situation.
This is the best possible outcome.
The geniuses on the Eight Heavens Ranking have closer ties with kings and nobles.
The fact that Shen Qian had both provoked the anger of the kings and nobles and that he himself had been eliminated was undoubtedly the best news for them.
And so, to the delight of many, Shen Qian indeed crashed headlong into the area where the Fourth Heaven Gate was located.
On the virtual projection, ten cursors with different numbers quickly gathered together.
Many eyes on the high platform turned to the now empty square.
They guessed that someone would appear there soon.
