As Chen Qian spoke, the long sword in his hand, gleaming with an eerie purple light, trembled slightly, as if it too was yearning for something.
"A Star Blade of Earth Rank!"
The kings and nobles present had already accurately judged the level of the Jingji Blade from the terrifying aura emanating from it, and they were all shocked.
This can be considered the strongest weapon after King Wu.
Where did Chen Qian get it from?
Many kings and nobles spend their entire lives without even obtaining a Xuan-rank Star-level weapon, let alone an Di-rank one.
Therefore, at this moment, many kings and nobles exchanged glances and saw the bitter smiles in each other's eyes. They had lived for hundreds of years in vain, and were not even as good as a mountain and sea cultivator who had not yet broken through to the level of a king or noble.
Marquis Liegu Gao Zhengjie also shrank back, and the killing intent emanating from his body subconsciously subsided considerably.
Not to mention that Shen Qian possesses a Star-level weapon of Earth Rank, which greatly enhances his combat power, even if the opponent didn't... Considering the fact that the opponent was able to kill Zhao Yuanhou single-handedly, Lie Guhou had no confidence whatsoever in dealing with Shen Qian.
In fact, what resonated deep within him was a faint sense of apprehension.
He was unwilling to admit that he feared a mountain and a sea, yet he could not escape his own inner turmoil.
But with all the other princes watching, Gao Zhengjie couldn't back down now, or he'd never be able to hold his head high in front of Shen Qian again. Just as Liegu Hou gritted his teeth, ready to forcefully accept Shen Qian's provocation, a voice suddenly rang out.
"What happened? Why is this place in such a mess?"
As the cold voice rang out, a middle-aged man dressed in black suddenly appeared beside Marquis Liegu.
"Lord Yanshan!"
"Greetings, Lord Yanshan!"
With the appearance of the man in black, Lord Liegu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and many respectful greetings rang out from all around.
In this era when King Wu was absent, the Great Luo Golden Immortal was the pinnacle of kings and nobles, and Duke Yanshan, whether in the past or present, was a top figure among them.
Wu Wei also indirectly admitted that it was precisely because he was wary of Han Chi's existence that he became cautious in his attitude towards the Divine Emperor Palace.
Shen Qian stared coldly at Yanshan Gong Han Chi, and for a second, he couldn't even suppress the impulse in his heart.
This is not only because, from a certain perspective, Han Chi was the culprit who caused the downfall of the Marquis of Jingcheng, but also because... Tantai Qin was clearly his disciple, but after Tantai Qin's death, there was not a proper funeral, and the Plum Garden was completely silent, as if it had never happened at all.
Shen Qian didn't know what Han Chi's considerations were when he took Tantai Qin as his personal disciple, but it was clear that in Han Chi's eyes, Tantai Qin was nothing more than a dispensable existence.
In fact, it wasn't just Tantai Qin; Xu Nian, Guo Zhouyuan, Nie Han, and even Wang Shuo, who died at Shen Qian's hands, were all Han Chi's protégés, yet the other party acted as if nothing had happened.
Even Shen Qian, who was on the opposite side, couldn't stand this attitude.
Even the most powerful and noble figures are still so selfish, which makes Shen Qian realize just how cold and self-serving their "way" truly is!
If he hadn't been so confident, Shen Qian would never have chosen to attack Zhao Yuanhou.
At this moment, Han Chi already knew what had happened from the Marquis of Fierce Bones' telepathic message. In fact, Han Chi had sensed the undisguised killing intent emanating from Shen Qian the moment he arrived.
"As expected of an ill-mannered border town youth, is the Royal Council a place where you can go crazy?"
Han Chi looked coldly at Shen Qian.
Facing the Duke of Yanshan, the subtle pressure he felt was on a completely different level compared to facing the Marquis of Liegu. However, Shen Qian could not back down. He simply said calmly, "So the Duke of Yanshan is all sanctimonious here, but goes crazy outside? Heh, it seems I need to learn from him."
Shen Qian's words caused all the kings and nobles to gasp in shock.
This is not only a blatant provocation of Han Chi, but also a veiled criticism of Han Chi's disgraceful role in the demise of the Marquis of Jingcheng.
Han Chi is not the same as Zhao Yuan Hou; this is a very serious accusation.
Just when everyone thought the situation was about to spiral out of control, Han Chi suddenly chuckled and stopped looking at Chen Qian, sitting down directly.
Han Chi's reaction surprised not only others, but even Shen Qian himself, who couldn't believe that Han Chi had let the matter go so easily.
He openly killed another prince from the Divine Emperor Palace faction, or... could it be that the Marquis of Zhengxi was not from the Divine Emperor Palace?
Shen was somewhat confused, but then he realized something was wrong.
Even if Zheng Xibo wasn't a king or marquis of the Divine Emperor's Palace, he was at least friendly to the faction of the Divine Emperor's Palace, so Han Chi had no reason not to use this matter to attack him.
No matter how many reasons there may be before the execution, the fact that the Marquis of Zhengxi was executed in the council of princes and nobles at the highest level means that he can definitely be labeled as "disregarding the law".
Marquis Liegu seemed quite surprised. Although he didn't speak, it was unclear what he and Duke Yanshan had secretly discussed. Shen Qian keenly noticed an extremely obvious look of astonishment on Marquis Liegu's face, but the other party quickly regained his composure and returned to his seat.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qian frowned.
Just then, the council doors opened again, and Wu Wei, the Minister of Martial Arts, walked in surrounded by several nobles. Everyone greeted him.
Seeing this, Shen Qian knew that the matter was over, so he went over to greet him.
Accompanying Wu Wei were the Earl of Pingyang and the Marquis of Qingcheng, as well as the great beauty, the Earl of Luoshen, whom Shen Qian had not seen for a long time. They were all very familiar with Shen Qian.
"You arrived quite early, and you made quite a commotion."
After Wu Wei and the other princes and nobles, including Shen Qian and Luo Shenbo, had exchanged greetings, they finally took a deep look at him.
