According to Shen Qian's understanding, they and Lao Gao were kings and nobles in the same camp, similar to allies.
The only exception is the Earl of Kunhu. He and the Marquis of Jingcheng are not on good terms, but he is probably here because of Geng Qianqiu. In any case, he is here to help Shen Qian.
Seeing the four of them appear together, Wu Wei felt completely at ease.
He knew that things wouldn't get out of control today.
"What a Gao Wenyuan! Even though he's not on Earth, he still left behind so many contingency plans. He can be described as having a flawless strategy. What, by having so many kings and nobles come to his aid, does he want to start another conflict?"
For the first time, anger appeared on the face of the usually calm and composed Duke Yanshan.
Shen Qian felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. Recalling what Elder Gao had said in Jingcheng that day, he thought to himself, "Sure enough, even among the kings and nobles, there is no harmony. I don't know if it's due to some ideology or some other reason, but there are factional struggles within the ranks as well."
He suddenly realized that the accident that happened on the Nine Heavens Battlefield today might just be a fuse. It was impossible for a dispute between some disciples to make so many kings and nobles show up.
Upon hearing Yanshan Gong's angry shout, Wu Wei raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when another voice rang out first.
The voice, though soft, immediately quelled the restlessness among all the kings and nobles.
"Shut up, all of you."
The King of Zhouyi!
King Zhou Yi, who had remained silent and made no statement since Shen Qian and the others emerged, finally spoke at this moment.
"The matter before the sinking will be left to the Martial Arts Department to reach a conclusion. As for the conspiracy involving the Spirit Witch Clan, I will personally investigate and clarify it. Then, the Royal Council will issue an arrest warrant for Marquis Tuodong. Everything... ends here."
In just a few words, the King of Zhouyi drew a conclusion about today's events.
His final words, "That's enough," seemed to contain a warning, though it was unclear to whom they were directed.
"Can."
Wu Wei nodded in response first, expressionless.
"I will obey the command of the King of Zhou Yi."
The other princes and nobles also expressed their agreement.
As for Han Chi, who had already realized that things were hopeless, after coldly sweeping his gaze over the group of kings and nobles standing in front of the sinking, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared on the spot, leaving without saying a word.
Looking at the situation before him, Shen Qian found it quite absurd.
What seemed like an unsolvable situation was resolved with just a few words from the King of Zhou.
What was he doing all this time?
Shen Qian glanced deeply at the misty area around the royal seats. He couldn't quite grasp what role King Zhou Yi, who had been observing the events from the sidelines, was playing in today's series of events.
If only the teacher were still here, he would know that the teacher would definitely be able to give him an answer.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian couldn't help but look up at the sky above the forbidden zone. Due to the great battle between Jiang Huan and Tian Ning Gong, the murky clouds above the forbidden zone had temporarily dissipated, revealing a vast starry sky.
If Gao Wenyuan weren't on Earth, he might be somewhere in the starry sky.
"Boss, when are you coming back...?"
Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming longing for that towering figure.
However, the eldest brother is actually quite great too...
Shen Qian glanced at the aloof young man standing high in the sky, and his severely lacking sense of security returned to him.
