The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 510: Chapter 511: Give More Love to Those with Intellectual Disabilities

Lin Qian pointed at the map formed by the Array and addressed the audience before him, “Look, when the Boundary Country of Emperor Yuheng attacked Qingshui State, why was it so easy for them to win?”

“Because when I wanted to build a soul cannon in Qingshui State, I told the True Essence Sect, which borders Qingshui State, that it would pose a threat to them,” Lin Qian said, somewhat amused. “Regrettably, I thought the Huaxia Empire should coexist harmoniously with the neighboring forces, so I did not set up the soul cannon.”

“However, what I did not expect was that when the Boundary Country of Emperor Yuheng moved against Qingshui State, the True Essence Sect readily opened its doors to them and even secretly followed behind, joining in the attack.”

Saying this, Lin Qian shook his head in self-reproach and slowly added, “I even heard the people of the Boundary Country of Emperor Yuheng say that it was ‘good’ that people from our Huaxia Empire died.”

“At that moment, I suddenly realized that the gentleness of the Huaxia Empire should be reserved for our own citizens, for the Huaxia people, and as for other forces and outsiders…” At this point, gold flashed in Lin Qian’s pupils, “They should fear the Huaxia Empire!”

“Qiu Haifeng!”

“Cheng Lishan!”

Accompanied by Lin Qian’s voice, both men quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty!”

Both of them were governors of their respective states, which happened to be quite close to the Wild Wave Sect and Guiyuan Valley.

“Inform the Wild Wave Sect and Guiyuan Valley respectively to cede half of their territories to our Huaxia Empire as reparations and they must pay tributes every year. If they do not agree, the Huaxia Empire will declare war on them.”

With these words from Lin Qian, the two exchanged glances and slowly said, “Your Majesty, they might not agree to such demands.”

“Whether they agree or not is their concern. I am informing them, not consulting with them. You just need to convey my will.” Lin Qian’s tone was imperious.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Seeing Lin Qian’s resolve, both men exchanged a smile, nodded, and responded.

“As for the True Essence Sect, just annihilate them. I treated them with kindness, yet they schemed against our Huaxia Empire behind our backs, how amusing.” Lin Qian stood up with a wave of his sleeve and addressed the governor of Qingshui State, “Go inform the Sect Master of the True Essence Sect that it’s not too late to surrender now; otherwise, they must bear the consequences.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Dismiss!”

With Lin Qian’s final words, the image on the Soul Vision Machine slowly faded away, concluding the live broadcast.

At the same time, the citizens of the entire Huaxia Empire immediately began discussing animatedly, as their emperor was quite imposing.

They were all aware of the situation in Qingshui State and had been harboring simmering anger.

However, the Boundary Country of Emperor Yuheng was a strong and renowned great country in the Southern Domain, and both the Wild Wave Sect and Guiyuan Valley were powerful. With these three challenging the Huaxia Empire simultaneously, the citizens were understandably anxious.

They had only just begun to enjoy good times, and if the Huaxia Empire fell to these three powers, they might not continue to have such days.

Lin Qian’s previous words directly declared war on the Yuheng Boundary Country, and the demands he made on the Wild Wave Sect and the Guiyuan Valley were so severe—it was essentially waging war against all three parties simultaneously.

Indeed, Lin Qian’s speech was very satisfying, but in their hearts, there was still a great worry. Could the Huaxia Empire really conquer these three powerful forces?

You must know, these three forces were long renowned throughout the Southern Domain and were among the top powers.

Of course, the citizens of the Huaxia Empire could never imagine that after Lin Qian had advanced to the Awakening Realm, it would bring such a terrifying improvement to the strength of the entire Huaxia Empire.

Inside the capital city of the Yuheng Boundary Country, within a grand palace adorned with Biling Jade, sat a man on the imperial throne, dressed in splendid attire, his face as delicate as a woman’s. Yet when his eyes swept over the ministers lined up below, all of them trembled with fear.

“Destroy the Yuheng Boundary Country?” After listening to the report from the person kneeling below, Emperor Yuheng on the throne revealed a mocking expression and slowly said, “The Southern Domain originally feared those three Overlord-Level creatures in the Awakening Realm, not him. Did he really think that after defeating the Emperor Qin Dynasty, he would be invincible?”

“The Emperor himself wants to see what virtues and abilities he, a junior, has, and what strength his Huaxia Empire possesses to make such a boast.”

In the main hall of the True Essence Sect, Sect Master of True Essence Sect laughed coldly, “Destroy the True Essence Sect directly? Interesting, his Huaxia Empire can barely protect itself. Let’s see him survive under the Yuheng Boundary Country first, then he can talk big.”

At the main valley of the Guiyuan Valley, the Valley Master of Guiyuan Valley was enjoying drinks and entertainment with a group of elders.

“This Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, asking for half of our territory, he really has a way with words,” an elder said, laughing as he looked towards the others.

Another elder scoffed, “He will bear the consequences himself, declaring war? Youngsters always talk big.”

“The only thing worth noting about the Huaxia Empire is their soul cannon, unfortunately, this young Emperor doesn’t know that the solution for the soul cannon has already spread throughout the Southern Domain,” said the Valley Master of the Guiyuan Valley, raising his wine cup to the elders, “I really want to see how this young Emperor will regret his own decisions.”

Inside the hall of the Wild Wave Sect.

Upon hearing the elder’s words, the Sect Master of Wild Wave Sect burst into laughter: “Hahaha, Elder Han, what do you think?”

“Heh, Sect Master, there’s a weak soul beast called the yellow chicken, capable only of controlling some yellow sand and rocks, not very powerful,” Elder Han vividly told the Sect Master of Wild Wave Sect, “And this yellow chicken loves to bluff, using its shrill cries to scare off stronger soul beasts, some even get frightened away.”

“But, at the end of the day, the yellow chicken is still just a golden crispy-skinned chicken, dies upon one touch, with no real strength.”

After listening to Elder Han, the Sect Master of Wild Wave Sect nodded in satisfaction, “Good, since the Yuheng Boundary Country is moving against the Huaxia Empire, why not get a share of the action and kill this yellow chicken?”

For Lin Qian’s declaration, the Yuheng Boundary Country, Wild Wave Sect, Guiyuan Valley, and True Essence Sect didn’t take him seriously at all, taking it merely as a joke.

And the method of combating the soul cannon mentioned by the Guiyuan Valley Master, which Lin Qian was also aware of, was a kind of Array. Once deployed, it would form a soul power mirror, reflecting the attacks of the soul power cannon, which was entirely concentrated soul power, back to the sender.

“Hahaha, Your Majesty, I can’t help but laugh,” Zhuge Ming’s laughter resonated in Lin Qian’s ear, “Do they really think such a simple array could withstand the attack of a soul cannon?”

“Don’t mock others, Prime Minister,” Lin Qian gently shook his head in response to Zhuge Ming’s ridicule, “We should show more care for the intellectually disabled.”
