Upon hearing this, the lords gritted their teeth and stopped talking.
Nobody could cultivate Original Soul energy simply because they wanted to. It all came down to talent. It was impossible for someone who was not talented.
They had combed the entire country for cultivation talents and could only find so few. Moreover, despite putting everything into cultivation, they could only advance their cultivation to a certain point.
What else could they do? Were they supposed to snatch people from Daqing Kingdom and Qian Jiyun?
“At the end of the day, you’re still afraid of Qian Jiyun, right?” Shang Ningyi smiled faintly and looked at the lords in disdain.
The purple-robed lord was about to erupt when a gray-robed lord stopped him.
He looked at Shang Ningyi with a faint smile and asked, “Lord Shang, are you eager for us to have a conflict with Lord Qian so that you can take advantage of the fight?”
“Lord Zhan, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”
Of course, Shang Ningyi would not be so enraged as to say anything he should not. He would not display his feelings.
He had desired to replace Qian Jiyun for a long time.
Nobody could take Qian Jiyun’s place easily. They had to take their time to scheme against a camp as big as Camp Zhan Yun.
Moreover, it would take more than a day or two to bribe the guardians of Camp Zhan Yun without injuring them.
“I think you understood clearly.”
The gray-robed lord looked at Shang Ningyi indifferently and glanced at the other lords from the corner of his eye.
“Didn’t you call us here to tell us that we can’t suppress Lord Qian anymore, so we have to hurry up and revolt together and chase everyone from Camp Zhan Yun out of Huayan Peak?”
He placed his hands out on the table and looked at everyone innocently.
“Just one question for everyone: If we chase Lord Qian and his guardians out of Huayan Peak, how many people have you prepared to replace them?”
Everyone fell silent.
They were speechless. Just as that lord had said, Qian Jiyun had the most people. Moreover, he was a stroke above them in cultivating Original Soul energy.
If they gathered together, they could chase Qian Jiyun out of Huayan Peak or something.
But who would fill the vacancies on Huayan Peak, particularly in their region on this plane?
They were not in their home countries, where officials could rise through the ranks with few skills.
One had to cultivate Original Soul energy on Huayan Peak. Those without talent would be hunted by demonic creatures even if they could cultivate Original Soul energy.
“Actually, our country also has two territories. Old Tang, don’t you have three? Daqing Kingdom only has one territory. It’s not a big deal to expand and have another, right?”
The white-robed lord looked at the other lord, Old Tang.
“Uh…” Lord Tang was stunned by his question.
Although their country had three territories on Huayan Peak, he really wanted to say that Qian Jiyun’s people were more powerful than theirs combined!
