596 Your Objections Are Useless
Time passed day by day.
They had cleaned up most areas destroyed by the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python. However, they had yet to build tents due to a lack of construction materials.
Of course, Third Brother Fu would bring some construction materials here. They would have enough once he arrived.
Meanwhile, the various lords in the nearby camps heard that Qian Jiyun had cleared this piece of land.
!!
They had also heard that the Daqing Kingdom was sending people to establish another camp. The two camps would mutually aid and constrain each other.
This was incredible.
Qian Jiyun alone was stronger than their camps combined. If Daqing Kingdom established another camp here, wouldn’t they be defying the heavens?
The various lords instinctively disagreed. They wanted to do something secretly to ruin this matter.
However, this was Huayan Peak—they could not do whatever they wanted. People could die if a camp lost a few guardians because of their haphazard commotion.
Moreover, it would be their people who would die.
The most terrifying part was that if they actually did that, demonic beasts might attack their area, and things would get out of hand.
This was not something they wanted to see. Hence, the lords racked their brains to think of a way to stop Daqing Kingdom from expanding Qian Jiyun’s territory without killing a single soldier.
The lords, who rarely gathered, did so in Camp Ning Se of Shang Kingdom, in the tent Shang Ningyi used to deal with official business.
“Daqing Kingdom actually wants to expand their camp! What do you think?”
“How can that be? Qian Jiyun is a fierce tiger. If another one comes, Daqing Kingdom might become our leader.”
“That’s right. Old Tang is right. If Qian Jiyun expands his camp, will there still be room for us here?”
“We have to object. We must object. We can’t let Daqing Kingdom dominate.”
The various lords slammed the table and voiced their opinions. Their opinions, however, were one-sided—they did not want Qian Jiyun to dominate.
The fact that the entrance to Huayan Peak was in Daqing Kingdom was already unsettling.
Was Qian Jiyun trying to start something by expanding the camp? Wouldn’t they be doomed if they allowed this?
“Your objections are useless.”
Shang Ningyi leaned back in his chair and spoke leisurely.
“We’re protesting vehemently here, but Prince Zhan Yun will continue to expand whatever he wants. If you’re that capable, go tell him what you think.”
A white-robed lord slammed the table and questioned, “Shang Ningyi, what do you mean? Are you calling us cowards?”
They were not afraid of Qian Jiyun. There were so many of them. Would Qian Jiyun defeat them? They could beat him with their fists, surely.
They were worried, though, that something might go wrong if something happened to Qian Jiyun, and there were not as many guards on the protected grounds.
“We want to do something to Qian Jiyun, but will you bear responsibility if fewer people guard the protected grounds? Can you bear the responsibility?” another purple-robed lord asked Shang Ningyi in a deep voice.
“Don’t forget that Qian Jiyun has the most guardians.”
