Chapter 185: The Number of Top Experts in the Human Race
“So this is the Elder King who has recently gained a lot of fame. To think he’s so arrogant while being a mere Sage King!” An old man with a head of white hair and a walking stick snorted coldly. He was the patriarch of a reclusive family and was known as Patriarch Wandu.
“Poisonous old man, you seem sour. The current world is becoming more and more unsuitable for cultivation. For thousands of years, no one in the human race has broken through the Sage realm, yet the Elder King became a Sage King in the current era. If the people don’t follow him, would they follow you, an old poisonous man who is about to die?” The Duanmu family’s Patriarch Kuang Ren sneered. He had always thought highly of Qin Chen. Now that he heard someone else’s sour words, he naturally couldn’t stand it with his bad temper.
“Old man Duanmu, aren’t you disrespecting us old fogeys? The Elder King is, after all, only a junior. How can he be compared to us, the seniors?” The one who spoke was an old woman, an old patriarch of a Holy Land. She had peerless ice techniques and was respectfully called the Ice Mother by the world!
At this moment, Qin Chen and the big scorpion rushed over. Qin Chen got off the back of the big scorpion, and the big scorpion also transformed into a human, following the former.
Qin Chen cupped his hands at the crowd and said, “Greetings, seniors!”
Hmph, you’re here to attend the human race conference, yet you’re using the power of the great path to hide your face. Did you do something shameful and are afraid of being recognized?” Patriarch Wandu immediately said harsh words to Qin Chen, making things difficult for the latter.
Patriarch Kuang Ren was instantly displeased when he heard this. He immediately cursed, “Old poison, did you eat shit? What a foul mouth! If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up. Others don’t need the stench.”
Patriarch Wandu’s eyes turned cold as he glared at Patriarch Kuang Ren. His Sagely might was slowly recovering. If not for his fear, he would have attacked the latter long ago.
At this moment, Ice Mother also opened her mouth, “Old man Duanmu, why are you so agitated? Could it be that this brat has given you some benefits?”
“F*ck you, you ice woman. Since you’re speaking up for that old poisonous man like this, could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to him and want to have an old-aged relationship with him?” Patriarch Kuang Ren coldly snorted, his words extremely degrading.
Ice Mother’s face turned red with anger, and she immediately unleashed her Supreme Sagely might as she roared at Patriarch Kuang Ren, “Old man Duanmu, you’re courting death!”
“You want to fight? Could it be that I was right?” Patriarch Kuang Ren laughed heartily. Even at this moment, he was still fearless.
“Bastard!” Patriarch Wandy roared and a green poisonous mist spread out from his body. It turned out that the walking stick in his hand was a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Under the patriarch’s control, it gave off a powerful aura.
“Stop!” A shout was heard as Supreme Sage Qin Tian appeared. He glared at the three of them and said in a deep voice, “You’re still having internal strife at a time like this? Do you want the ten thousand ancient races to laugh at us?”
Under the terrifying Supreme Sagely might, Ice Mother and Patriarch Wandu did not dare to continue their attack. They could only be aggrieved in silence.
Seeing that things had settled down, Qin Chen cupped his hands at everyone again and said, “Seniors, I’ve hidden my identity because I have some personal difficulties. However, please rest assured that I’m definitely not an evil person.”
“My fellow Daoists, the human race conference concerns the survival of the human race. We should unite and fight against the enemy together,” Patriarch Qing Long spoke up at this time.
“Patriarch Qing Long is right. I hope that you can act justly for the sake of the human race in this moment of life and death. Since everyone is here, please follow me!” Supreme Sage Qin Tian agreed. After that, he led everyone into the Great Qin Dynasty’s Palace. In the resplendent hall, they began the human race conference.
Among the many experts that were attending the human race conference, there were nine Supreme Sages, 15 Sage Kings, and more than 20 Sages. Such a lineup was enough to destroy any far ancient imperial clan.
Supreme Sage Qin Tian was the first to speak, “The battle in half a month concerns the future of the human race. I hope that all the major factions can take out all their reserves. Furthermore, I hereby promise that the Holy Lands and families that will be participating in the battle in half a month will be under the protection of the four great dynasties for all generations. Therefore, everyone should give it their all in this battle!”
Hearing this, the patriarchs of many families and the Holy Lands didn’t hold back anymore.
“Yaoguang Holy Land has two Sage Kings and four Sages.”
“The Sun family of the Central Province has three Sages.”
“The Cao family has one Supreme Sage, three Sage Kings, and six Sages.”
“The Dugu family has five Sage kings and ten Sages.”
“The Duanmu family has one Supreme Sage, five Sage Kings, and five Sages.”
Hearing these words, Qin Chen and the big scorpion were both stunned. They had never thought that the human race would have so many experts. Qin Chen, who had been worried about the battle that would happen in half a month, was now more confident.
The big scorpion exclaimed, “I didn’t expect the human race to grow so quickly. With so many experts, we might be able to win the war in half a month.”
After 15 minutes, Supreme Sage Qin Tian added up the reserves of all the factions and said in a deep voice, “According to the statistics, we have 11 Supreme Sages, 36 Sage Kings, and 62 Sages in total.”
As soon as he said that, everyone was excited. With so many experts and extreme emperor weapons, they were more confident about the races’ war in half a month.
“Hahaha!” Patriarch Kuang Ren laughed, “Since the human race has so many experts, why should we fear the ten thousand ancient races? I’ll want to have a good fight in half a month.”
“Brother Duanmu is right. With the current reserves of the human race and the extreme emperor weapons, we can annihilate the ten thousand ancient races!” Patriarch Qing Long also echoed loudly with full confidence.
Everyone in the hall laughed out loud. All of them felt that the human race would win the war in half a month.
Seeing the morale of the crowd rise, Supreme Sage Qin Tian wanted to say something. However, when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he could not say them. In the end, he swallowed them back.
At this moment, Patriarch Wandu suddenly spoke, “I really don’t know what you’re so happy about. With such weak reserves, the human race will definitely lose in the war in half a month.”
“You old poisonous man, what nonsense are you talking about? To think you’re boosting the morale of others and diminishing our prestige. Do you believe that I’ll kill you with a single palm strike first?” Patriarch Kuang Ren roared as his Sagely might erupted. There was a murderous look in his eyes, and it didn’t seem like he was just saying it.
Patriarch Wandu had a trace of fear on his face as he clutched his walking stick tightly, ready to activate the Sage King weapon at any moment. He then spoke again, “Old man Duanmu, do you know the true strength of the ten thousand ancient races? I’m telling you, in the war half a month from now, the human race will definitely lose!”
