578 Qin Xingtong’s Technology Appears Again
“A deal?”
When Lin Qiye expressed his intentions, all the officials in the hall looked at him in confusion.
“I wonder what your so-called deal is?” Huyan Meng said.
Lin Qiye didn’t immediately reveal the details. Instead, he asked, “Before we discuss the deal, I would like to ask Emperor Huyan. What is your opinion on the invasion of the demon race? ”
Huyan Meng’s gaze was deep as he looked at Lin Qiye. Then, he said, “The demon clan is very powerful. If the Heavenly God Palace doesn’t appear, our mortal world will be powerless to resist them.”
If someone else had asked this question, Huyan Meng probably wouldn’t even bother to answer. However, Lin Qiye’s background was mysterious, and he seemed to have some connection with the Heavenly God Palace.
Therefore, he directly expressed his feelings.
“Do you think the Heavenly God Palace will help the secular world in this disaster?” Lin Qiye continued to ask.
Hearing this, Huyan Meng fell into silence.
The answer to this matter was already clear. The officials had been arguing earlier because of the Heavenly God Palace.
He knew that the Heavenly God Palace would not care about the life and death of the secular world, so he was irritated by the noise of the ministers.
Lin Qiye could not help but smile when he saw his reaction.
“It seems Emperor Huyan already has an answer in his heart.”
Huyan Meng’s expression became somewhat unsightly.
“What are you trying to say?”
Lin Qiye stopped smiling and became serious.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll be frank. I’m here to discuss with you the cooperation against the demons.”
“We’ll work together to fight against the demons?”
“That’s right. The strength of the demon clan is far from what you can see. If we continue to fight alone, I’m afraid the four great empires will be destroyed in less than half a month when the main force of the demons comes out!”
As soon as these words fell, the ministers in the hall immediately went into an uproar.
“Are you kidding me? Are the demons that terrifying?”
“Lord Holy Infant, are you joking with us?”
“The northern territory has been at war with the demon clan for several months. If they were that powerful, wouldn’t they have already come to the imperial capital?”
Everyone knew the demons were powerful, but they didn’t believe it was as exaggerated as Lin Qiye had said.
To destroy the four great empires in half a month, even if the Heavenly God Palace sent out all their forces, they might not be able to do it.
After all, the world was vast and boundless. Even an ace in the Celestial Realm would need more than half a month to pass through a country.
“All of you, shut up!”
Listening to the clamoring, Huyan Meng’s expression turned ugly as he rebuked.
Lin Qiye’s words were as he had guessed. However, these idiotic ministers were still underestimating the demons.
With his shout, the officials did not dare to make another sound. To reach their position, their ability to observe people’s expressions was not too bad.
Everyone could see that Huyan Meng seemed irritated.
What could make this strongest person in the secular world so annoyed and angry?
The answer was obvious.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t help but reveal a look of fear.
They knew that perhaps the demons’ threat was just as Lin Qiye had said.
“Little friend, please don’t take it to heart. My subordinates are insensible. I will punish them in the future.”
“It’s fine. Let’s continue talking about the deal.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand, not minding it.
“Deal? Little friend, you’re making me a little confused. Are you here to talk about a cooperation or a business deal with me?”
Facing Lin Qiye, Huyan Meng didn’t act like an emperor. It was as if he was talking to a friend.
Lin Qiye smiled. “It’s both a deal and a cooperation.”
“Oh? I’d like to hear the details.”
“I’ll briefly explain the specific matters. I can help you build a defensive array in the Shang Empire within a month. At the same time, I can help you train an army of Golden Core Realm cultivators. The maximum number is ten million, but the resources required will be fully paid for by you.”
“W-What?”
Huyan Meng’s heart trembled, and his hands couldn’t help but shake.
“Little friend, you must be joking with me.”
Lin Qiye stared at Huyan Meng.
“Do I look like I’m joking? Of course, as I said, this is both a cooperation and a deal. I can do everything I say, so you naturally have to pay the corresponding reward.”
Huyan Meng fell into silence.
To set up a defensive array within the Shang Empire, this method could be said to be heaven-defying.
He knew what had happened in Tata Village. The Black Dragon and the other three fiend lords had led an army of fiends to invade Tata Village.
In the end, Lin Qiye easily defeated their allied forces. Even the few little saints under Lin Qiye had the strength to fight the four fiend lords head-on.
This credit was due to the array Lin Qiye had set up.
However, in addition to the temptation of the array, the army of ten million Golden Core Realm cultivators was the point that almost made Huyan Meng’s heart stop beating.
Everyone knew that the spiritual energy in the secular world was sparse. If one wanted to become an Immortal cultivator, one had to have enough talent.
If they were not talented enough and wanted to cultivate the Golden Core Realm, it would probably take decades if they spent many resources. They might not even be able to do anything no matter how many resources they spent because of their lack of talent.
Lin Qiye said he could set up a defensive formation all over the country within a month.
After all, as long as he ordered the armies of each city to cooperate, it would not be too challenging to complete the defense arrangement.
However, it was impossible to train an army of ten million Golden Core Realm cultivators in a month.
