The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1283 - 1284: Laughed Out Loud (9th Update)
Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans, Lin Qian stood in place, waiting for them to come forward.
After the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans stepped forward, they respectfully saluted Lin Qian.
Once the four of them were at ease, Lin Qian asked, "What’s wrong, you all look anxious, has something happened?"
At this moment, Lin Qian was engrossed in the construction of the boundary territories of Daojiang Country’s two realms and had offered many suggestions.
Meanwhile, Ye Xin, who was stationed over at Southern Heaven, also had many matters to discuss, and they had conversed a lot.
Therefore, he didn’t pay much attention to any new developments here.
With so many subordinates, Lin Qian didn’t need to personally handle everything and pay attention to every matter.
If there really was an issue, his subordinates would come back and report it to him.
Just like now, as the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans came rushing over, there must be a situation requiring his resolution.
The Clan Leaders of the Four Clans, led by Huan Junli, spoke first, "Your Majesty, according to our sources, it seems other forces in Beixuan Heaven are planning to move against us."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian gave Huan Junli and the other three Clan Leaders a peculiar look.
"Within Beixuan Heaven, the boundary country and the Flame Gold and Cold Earth Clans have already become part of the Empire, and even if the remaining seven Overlord Level forces join forces, is that really worth your panic?" At this moment, Lin Qian was clearly displeased, "I’ve told you, as part of the Empire, you need to look further ahead."
"I reveal the true current situation of the myriad worlds not only to inspire you all but also to encourage you to aim high. In the future, our Empire will engage in battle with other civilizations of the Chaos Universe."
"To panic over such a thing?"
The tone of these statements was extremely dissatisfied, and the four Clan Leaders looked very embarrassed, showing guilt and fear.
They truly didn’t expect Lin Qian to be upset over this.
Lin Qian then sighed, looking at the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans in front of him, his tone softened: "Perhaps you don’t quite understand why I became angry."
"It’s because I know the talent of you four is extremely strong, but over the years, after being plundered by the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan, there has been some damage."
"But what you don’t know is, after killing these plunderers, their essence can be gathered to repair your damage, or even further improve it."
"In the future, your prospects are not limited to this, entering the Dao Realm is merely a starting point, and you haven’t even entered it properly yet."
"To accomplish something in the future and as one of the pillars of the Empire, do you panic over a small situation?" Lin Qian shook his head, speaking lightly.
The four Clan Leaders came to their senses and immediately reacted, realizing that Lin Qian clearly regarded them as very important direct affiliates and intended to seriously cultivate them.
To be honest, now when faced with Lin Qian’s reprimand, the four of them felt nothing but great joy in their hearts, rather than any anger.
Because they knew, Lin Qian’s scolding was a sign he held high expectations for them.
They actually were a bit worried, fearing that after destroying the boundary country and the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan, Lin Qian might not favor them anymore and set them aside?
They’d seen things being used and discarded too many times.
They were even worried the good days were temporary, and their status would decline after the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan was wiped out.
The scolding immediately dispelled their worries, making them understand their former concerns were unnecessary.
As Lin Qian initially said, they are now part of the Empire, truly a part of the Huaxia Empire.
After speaking, Lin Qian himself fell into reflection, realizing the Empire still needed ideological education to foster pride and awareness among its powerful citizens as members of the Huaxia Empire.
"Your Majesty is right, however, this situation is not merely the collaboration of the other seven Overlord Level forces in Beixuan Heaven." After calming down, Huan Junli spoke again, "This time, a superpower has also intervened."
Now, as Huan Junli spoke again, the panic in his expression had disappeared, replaced by much more stability and confidence.
Clearly, Lin Qian’s previous words had already taken effect, inspiring him.
The other three standing beside Huan Junli also had much better spirits than before, clearly indicating Lin Qian’s earlier speech had worked.
"Superpower?" Hearing Huan Junli’s words, Lin Qian nodded secretly, "That’s interesting, what is this superpower doing intervening out of the blue?"
Currently, the superpower is one of the truly top forces in the Nine Heavens, existing beyond the Overlord Level forces, occupying a territory of ten boundary domains or more.
Moreover, their Heavenly Domain is among the core three Heavenly Domains in the Nine Heavens.
The resources of these three Heavenly Domains are far superior to the circle of six boundary domains on the periphery.
"This superpower is called South Mountain, and I am afraid the remaining seven Overlord Level forces in Beixuan Heaven, even united, might not match South Mountain." On the other side, Yun Jingjing’s tone was slightly heavy, though steadier than earlier panic, "This might be a bit troublesome, a headache indeed."
A powerful superpower, together with the seven Overlord Level forces in Beixuan Heaven joining hands, indeed would be a headache.
With his hands behind his back, Lin Qian spoke calmly, without the slightest change, showing no emotion because of superpower intervention: "So, the other side didn’t just directly attack; they must have issued some threats, right?"
Huan Junli nodded, replying to Lin Qian, "Your Majesty’s insight is truly piercing, the other party indeed proposed threatening conditions."
"According to the superpower, we started wars at will, ignoring rules, and instigated our Four Clans to do such treacherous deeds, despicable and shameless."
"Thus, they are joining forces with the other seven Overlord Level forces to come and punish us."
"If we hand over the boundary country’s territories and submit to South Mountain for one hundred thousand years of servitude, we can be forgiven."
After Huan Junli spoke, Lin Qian only found it amusing, looking at the other person: "Such arrogance, let’s ignore them for now. In the boundary domain of the boundary country, the transformation of stars to improve quality of life and foundational construction are most important."
"In this aspect, as the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans, you are familiar hands here, you must take the lead, and supervise well."
"As for this so-called South Mountain and the other seven Overlord Level forces, don’t worry too much, a bunch of nobodies daring to make grandiose statements."
Saying this, Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh.
