"Lord Liegu, your Longteng Group holds the largest share of the domestic monster trade. Let me ask you, why are there still so many illegal monsters entering the market every year? And why has the price of monster traded risen from an average of 100,000 a hundred years ago to an average of one million today!"
Wu Wei looked at Gao Zhengjie, making no attempt to hide the contempt in his eyes, "As a king of my human race, you enjoy the utmost honor, yet instead of thinking about how to benefit the warriors of our human race, you do nothing but manipulate the market and line your own pockets. Do you have even a shred of shame?!"
Wow!
No one expected that after Wu Wei stood up for Shen Qian, he would immediately turn his attention to Lie Gu Hou, who had just made sarcastic remarks, and his words were so vicious that they left almost no room for negotiation.
An uproar erupted in the hall.
"you……"
Marquis Liegu Gao Zhengjie's face turned red and then pale.
He never concealed his actions, but because of his status as a top-ranking nobleman, no one had ever dared to criticize him in the past.
Moreover, most of the profits of Longteng Group were actually used for the expansion of Shendi Palace.
However, these words could not be said outright, and Wu Wei had never shown any aggression before. He did not expect Wu Wei to suddenly use the incident before the sinking to launch an attack, which was tantamount to tearing off the mask of civility.
Before the people of the Divine Emperor Palace could react to why Wu Wei was acting so strangely today, he immediately turned his sharp gaze to another king.
"Lord Tianqing, you have lived in seclusion in the southeast corner of the country for many years, seemingly never getting involved in worldly affairs. But if I may be so bold as to ask, in this peaceful time, why are there frequent disappearances of mountains and sea creatures at the three 'gates' of the South China Sea? Those are the places you guard. Are you guarding the gates of our China or protecting the territory of your Divine Emperor Palace?"
"Wu Wei!"
When questioned by Wu Wei, Tian Qinggong's face turned ashen, and he called Wu Wei by his name, his body even trembling slightly.
"Lord Tianqing had mentored the minister when he was young; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him half a teacher, so..."
Luo Shenbo sighed softly and whispered to Shen Qian.
Shen Qian suddenly realized why Wu Wei, despite his sharp words, still used honorifics, and why the Tianqing Guild was so out of control. Being verbally abused to one's own friendly junior is at least ten times more damaging.
But Shen Qian was also a little alarmed. He didn't know whether Wu Wei had just spoken out his feelings after years of suppressed anger, or whether Wu Wei had done it on purpose.
"Hehehe..."
When everyone in the Divine Emperor Palace looked extremely grim, Yanshan Duke Han Chi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly chuckled.
This smile, like some kind of subtle signal, gradually silenced the whispering princes and nobles in the hall.
Wu Wei also suddenly calmed down and slowly turned his calm gaze to Han Chi.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to distort.
"It seems that the minister has made up his mind to break with my Divine Emperor Palace today."
Han Chi said slowly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned serious, including those of Lieguhou and others who hadn't quite grasped the situation.
yes!
The reason for Wu Wei's radical attitude is not important; what is important is his determination to settle scores with the Divine Emperor Palace today!
Once these words are spoken, there will be no room for maneuver between the two sides.
Wu Wei understood, and Han Chi saw through it too. However, because of their anger, the Marquis of Fierce Bones and the others did not react immediately. Or perhaps Wu Wei's years of concessions had numbed them, preventing them from considering the most serious possibilities.
"Why is Lord Yanshan crying 'stop thief' when you're the ones who really don't want to wait any longer?" Wu Wei asked softly in return.
"Oh?" Han Chidan smiled faintly, "Why do you say that, Minister?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Wu Wei sighed. "Today's meeting was supposed to be an emergency meeting, with only time constraints in mind, but all the members of your Divine Emperor Palace showed up in their true forms. The so-called request for Shen Qian to share secrets is just an excuse. Even if Shen Qian really agrees, you will still find other reasons to make trouble, won't you?"
What!
Most of the princes and nobles changed their expressions.
Only then did they realize that, as expected, all the members of the Divine Emperor Palace that everyone knew about, whether it was Duke Yanshan, Duke Tianqing, Marquis Liegu, or even Marquis Yongjin, were actually here in their true forms!
This must have been premeditated, but... what exactly are they planning to do?
Shen Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the minister was not indifferent, but had just kept it to himself.
However... if Wu Wei only discovered it later, it might have been too late.
"Hahahaha!" Duke Yanshan laughed loudly, which was rare for him. "I knew that the minister was not as slow-witted as he seemed. I suppose you noticed something as soon as you stepped into the Divine Emperor Palace today. Unfortunately, it was too late."
The entire hall was in an uproar. Yanshan Gong's words were nothing more than a direct admission that he harbored disloyal intentions.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Wu Wei stared at Han Chi, as if trying to see through his mind.
"Actually, I have already made myself very clear just now."
Han Chi smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back and said, "Our human race has shed enough blood. Times have changed and the strategies of the Ninth Prince are no longer applicable. Since that's the case, why can't we be more flexible? Our human race... should have stopped fighting long ago!"
"You want to make peace with the Witch Clan?" Wu Wei narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not one for empty talk," Han Chi chuckled. "In fact, I've already reached a ceasefire agreement with the Witch Clan. As long as you all agree, peace will arrive immediately!"
"What!"
