Chapter 513: Chapter 514: Not Afraid of Challenges

Lin Qian’s words made the faces of those from the Southern Domain powers extremely ugly; one of them, suppressing the fear in his heart, said, “Emperor Lin, are you threatening us?”

“Yes, I am indeed threatening you!”

At once, they were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lin Qian in front of them.

They could never have imagined that Lin Qian would answer so straightforwardly, so directly.

“I am not someone unreasonable. Go back and inform your people that as long as you cooperate with the Huaxia Empire and allow us passage, there will be peace,” Lin Qian said, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile. “If you do not agree, I will eliminate you first.”

“Are you really preparing to wage war against the entire Southern Domain, Emperor Lin? Even if the Huaxia Empire is strong, can it truly triumph over the whole Southern Domain by itself?”

“That’s right, the Southern Domain has a total of one thousand nine hundred and seventy-two provinces, with hundreds, if not thousands, of various powers. Does the Huaxia Empire really dare to go to war with the entire Southern Domain?”

“Emperor Lin, threatening us here is useless. Don’t go too far.”

“Indeed, the Huaxia Empire is remarkable, but why should we give way to you?”

Now that someone had started, the others, emboldened by their numbers, also stood up one by one, looking straight at Lin Qian before them.

Now, their courage grew more and more, and they also began to realize that Lin Qian was merely bluffing. This power was indeed formidable, but did he really dare to start a war with the entire Southern Domain?

Hearing these words from the Southern Domain powers, the governors and city lords of the distant Huaxia Empire were still holding a burning anger inside.

They were not fools. These other powers from the Southern Domain had come to the Huaxia Empire to see how strong the Empire really was and if they could take a piece of the pie amidst the chaos.

Moreover, many powers were also continuously making small moves.

“Emperor Lin, I must admit that the Huaxia Empire is very strong, but you daring to threaten the entire Southern Domain is also extremely foolish.”

“We represent the entire Southern Domain here. Your threats are tantamount to a provocation against the whole Southern Domain.”

“Emperor Lin, since you’ve said that, if you have the guts, just go to war with the entire Southern Domain and see if your Huaxia Empire is truly invincible.”

These people from other powers in the Southern Domain grew more and more agitated, standing tall and straight, looking at Lin Qian.

“…”

Lin Qian remained silent, looking at the people from the Southern Domain powers in front of him. After a while, he showed a bitter smile and shook his head slowly. “You’ve really got me there, your points are very valid.”

“Indeed, the powers in the entire Southern Domain are not few, after all, some provinces are home to quite a number of forces, and there are also some mighty forces that govern several provinces, with many subordinate powers helping to manage them.”

“In fact, it is not a wise decision for an empire to go to war with the entire Southern Domain.”

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the people from the various Southern Domain powers also showed smiles on their faces.

One of them even nodded to Lin Qian in approval, “A wise man submits to the times, Emperor Lin, you have to know that even if the Huaxia Empire is strong, it cannot be enemies with the entire Southern Domain.”

“But it seems that the Huaxia Empire cannot be enemies with the entire Southern Domain has always been your viewpoint, hasn’t it?” Just then, Lin Qian suddenly asked with a smile.

Lin Qian’s words instantly made all the visitors from the other Southern Domain powers present freeze on the spot.

Clearly, Lin Qian’s statement had led them to consider a terrifying possibility.

“Generals!”

At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly stood up from the Nine Dragons Imperial Throne, still tightly clutching the Emperor Sword. His long and commanding shout, filled with supreme dignity, enveloped the entire square.

Streams of Soul Power lights flew from afar, descending onto the square below, as the Soul Power dispersed from the bodies of the martial generals, revealing their forms.

They were still high-level Soul Martial Artists in the Awakening Realm ranging from the Fifth Level to the Sixth Level, each with a unique demeanor, a different face, and their own style.

But no matter what kind of Martial Artist they were, they had one thing in common, and that was a strong desire for war filled their eyes.

After all, they were Martial Artists, whose duty since birth had been war.

In the past, Lin Qian’s Realm wasn’t sufficient, so even the most lowly Martial Artists couldn’t be summoned from the Huaxia Empire of Xuanhuan Star.

But now, they could already appear to aid their emperor.

The Martial Artists who had left to take up their posts were excited to return, and the lowest-ranked Martial Artists from the Huaxia Empire on Xuanhuan Star were also continuously summoned by Lin Qian, pretending to rush over from afar.

“Hahaha, finally there’s a battle to fight.”

“Strange, wasn’t it said that ten thousand would suffice, why summon so many more now?”

“See that group of dumb fools over there?”

“Seen.”

“Thank them, for earlier they provoked our emperor, claiming we didn’t dare to wage war on this tiny place in the Southern Domain, and warned us not to threaten them. Since they dared provoke our emperor to battle, of course our emperor will show them war.”

“Hahaha, when you put it that way, we really should thank them.”

The entire square was now filled with eager Martial Artists and towering, ferocious War Beast Generals.

The number of Martial Artists and War Beast Generals on the square was rapidly increasing, and in the blink of an eye, it had already surpassed the twenty thousand mark.

Thirty thousand!

Fifty thousand!

Eighty thousand!

One hundred thousand!

At that moment, the sky was clear, and the clouds had been dispersed by the overwhelming aura of ferocity, as if the Imperial City of the former Emperor Qin Dynasty were trembling.

A hundred thousand high-level Awakening Realm Martial Artists, just their emanating aura of killing intent, was enough to soften the legs of envoys from other powers in the Southern Domain, making them plop down, unable to get up.

Even from their lower bodies, a mix of yellow and white substances flowed, already terrified by the scene before them.

“I… need to calm down,” said Shen Qi from the Black Corner Clan, clutching his own horns and half-squatting, emotionally overwhelmed.

Yue Liqun, who had followed, was also pulling his hair: “I actually wanted to capture the emperor, I was truly seeking death, I really was.”

“Huaxia Empire, never fears a challenge, just now someone said, if I dare, I should wage war on the Southern Domain, that Huaxia Empire could not possibly make an enemy of the entire Southern Domain, because we would lose, we couldn’t win,” Lin Qian looked at the hundred thousand high-level Awakening Realm Martial Artists, War Beast Generals on the square, and his lips slightly curled up, “Too bad, Huaxia Empire has never lost, and will not lose.”

At this point, Lin Qian suddenly raised the Emperor Sword in his hand, pointing it towards the front, as nine dragons emerged behind him, howling out.

“How should those who offend Huaxia be dealt with?”

“Though far away, they will be punished!”

The battle cry rose to the skies, sending ripples of war intent in all directions, as all Martial Artists and War Beast Generals knelt on one knee, fists thumping their hearts.

“Well then, let’s wage war on the entire Southern Domain,” Lin Qian’s face showed a proud expression, looking down on those people reduced to sludge, “The entire Southern Domain, I claim.”
