Although the Li Family Patriarch had always wanted to kill Qin Shaofeng to avenge his Li Family's genius descendant, Li Zhanfeng, he had never taken Qin Shaofeng seriously. He thought that Qin Shaofeng was only a 20th-tier True Immortal, so he didn't use his full strength when he attacked. He thought that he could kill Qin Shaofeng with a single palm strike.
However, because Qin Shaofeng had the Demon of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he could clearly sense the thoughts of the Li family's ancestor. Thus, he used his full strength without any sense of loyalty. He combined all the strength in his body with the Law of Strength and threw out a punch. That was why it caused such a commotion.
The Star Luo Empire's Emperor Xing Lun, as well as the officials and Crown Prince Xing Yun, all sucked in a breath of cold air because of Qin Shaofeng's punch. They didn't think that Qin Shaofeng would be so powerful, and this made all of the officials and officials look at Qin Shaofeng with fear and anger.
Xing Lun was worthy of being an emperor for thousands of years. Even after seeing this, he was still able to maintain his calm. He said to Qin Shaofeng, "What is the meaning of this, Imperial Tutor? Do you really want to go against the Star Luo Empire? If that's the case, I won't tolerate you even if you're the Imperial Tutor appointed by the Star Luo Empire's Patriarch. "
After hearing Xing Lun's words, Qin Shaofeng slowly turned around and looked at Xing Lun with a smile on his face. He then said to Xing Lun, "You've misunderstood, Your Majesty. I never had such intentions. However, don't you think that the Star Luo Empire is too small? It's just a few hundred provinces. It's not even a tenth of the Blood Lake Empire. "
Qin Shaofeng's words infuriated all of the officials and generals present. They all began to berate Qin Shaofeng. The Star Luo Empire's territory had always been a taboo topic among the officials and generals. No one had ever dared to mention it.
This was because the Star Luo Empire had been established for tens of thousands of years. However, the Star Luo Empire's territory had always been like this. It had even been damaged by the Blood Lake Empire's continuous attacks. This was due to the incompetence of the Star Luo Empire's officials and generals. If it weren't for the Star Luo Empire's Patriarch, the entire Star Luo Empire would've been destroyed.
As such, all of the officials and generals present immediately blushed upon hearing Qin Shaofeng's words, and they immediately reprimanded him. Even the Star Luo Empire's emperor, Xing Lun, had a dark expression on his face as he looked at Qin Shaofeng. "What do you mean by that, Imperial Tutor?"
"Nothing much. I just want to tell Your Majesty that if you think the Star Luo Empire is too small, I have a way to expand the Star Luo Empire's territory!" Qin Shaofeng said slowly after hearing Xing Lun's words. The confident expression on his face made everyone present think that they had misheard him.
The Star Luo Empire's Emperor Xing Lun didn't believe Qin Shaofeng's words either. After hearing Qin Shaofeng's words, he glared at Qin Shaofeng and said, "What? You can expand the Star Luo Empire's territory? Imperial Tutor, that's a little too much of a joke. What if you can't do it? "
A confident smile appeared on Qin Shaofeng's face upon hearing Xing Lun's words. He then turned to Xing Lun, and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you can agree to my conditions, I can guarantee that the Star Luo Empire's territory will continue to expand indefinitely. As long as you have the ability to govern so many provinces, you'll be able to control as many provinces as you want."
Emperor Xing Lun's breathing became a little ragged after hearing Qin Shaofeng's words. If Qin Shaofeng was telling the truth, then the Star Luo Empire would definitely be able to reach unprecedented heights under his rule. For an emperor, territory was undoubtedly an important criterion.
All of the officials and generals also widened their eyes after hearing Qin Shaofeng's words. They were all waiting to hear what Qin Shaofeng was going to say. If Qin Shaofeng really could expand the Star Luo Empire's territory indefinitely, then they would leave their names in the annals of the Star Luo Empire's history books.
"What are your conditions, Imperial Tutor?" Emperor Xing Lun asked Qin Shaofeng. Even though he was very eager to hear Qin Shaofeng's conditions, he wasn't going to agree if Qin Shaofeng's conditions were truly unacceptable.
When Qin Shaofeng heard Xing Lun's words, he turned to Xing Lun and said, "It's very simple. Hand over the command of the Star Luo Empire's army to the patriarch of the Qin Family. As long as the Star Luo Empire's army is in the hands of the patriarch of the Qin Family, then the empire will be invincible. "
"What? That's impossible! Who would've thought that you would be so ambitious? You want to take over the Star Luo Empire? I definitely won't tolerate your actions! Men, arrest this bastard! " Emperor Xing Lun immediately flared up with rage after hearing Qin Shaofeng's words. He didn't think that Qin Shaofeng would propose such a condition.
The army of an empire was the power that protected the entire empire. If they were to hand it over to someone else, then wouldn't that be equivalent to handing the entire empire over to someone else? Emperor Xing Lun wasn't stupid enough to agree to such an impossible condition. Furthermore, Qin Shaofeng's conditions were definitely extremely ambitious. As such, Xing Lun was truly enraged.
Qin Shaofeng chuckled upon hearing Emperor Xing Lun's words. He didn't pay any attention to the guards who had barged into the palace to arrest him. All of the people in the palace who were weaker than him had been planted with demonic seeds when Qin Shaofeng had entered the palace. As long as Qin Shaofeng wanted to, he could take control of these people at any time.
Qin Shaofeng turned to the enraged Emperor Xing Lun, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and let me finish. I'm sure you've already seen the leadership abilities of the patriarch of the Qin Family. With just 100,000 soldiers, he was able to conquer 50 provinces of the Star Luo Empire. If the Star Luo Empire's army were to be handed over to the patriarch of the Qin Family, then I'm sure that he'd be able to conquer the Blood Lake Empire in a very short time!"
Xing Lun immediately calmed down upon hearing Qin Shaofeng's words. He couldn't help but admire Emperor Qin for what Qin Shaofeng had just said. This was because Emperor Qin only had 100,000 soldiers, yet he was able to conquer 50 provinces of the Star Luo Empire in a single year. What an incredible feat!
If Emperor Qin really did possess the Star Luo Empire's army, then it really would be possible for him to conquer the Blood Lake Empire in a very short time. However, if Emperor Qin were to command the Star Luo Empire's army, then Emperor Qin would be able to conquer the Blood Lake Empire. How would the Star Luo Empire be able to resist him then? This was exactly what Xing Lun was worried about.
However, in the face of Qin Shaofeng's words, Xing Lun was unable to resist the temptation. Becoming the emperor of the Star Luo Empire who had opened up the most territory in history would be a great honor. If this were to happen, then Xing Lun's reputation would surpass that of the Star Luo Empire's patriarch.
Thus, the Star Luo Empire's emperor asked Qin Shaofeng, "How can you guarantee that the territory your Qin family's patriarch conquered will belong to the Star Luo Empire? And how can you guarantee that your Qin family's patriarch won't lead the Star Luo Empire's army to attack the Star Luo Empire after conquering the Blood Lake Empire?"
Qin Shaofeng chuckled upon hearing the Star Luo Empire's emperor's words. "Your Majesty, what's there to worry about? My Qin family's patriarch isn't a first-rank Golden Immortal yet, and the Star Luo Empire's patriarch is still overseeing the Star Luo Empire. Furthermore, even if we want to destroy the Blood Lake Empire, the Star Luo Empire's patriarch will have to act personally. "
"Haha, what a crafty brat. I didn't think that you would even dare to scheme against this old man. However, this old man agrees to this matter. From now on, the Star Luo Empire's army will be handed over to your Qin family's patriarch to command. "After Qin Shaofeng finished speaking, the Star Luo Empire's patriarch's voice rang out in the hall.
Xing Luo, Xing Yun, and the other officials and generals in the hall all hurriedly knelt down upon hearing the Star Luo Empire's patriarch's words. When Qin Shaofeng heard the Star Luo Empire's patriarch's words, he merely nodded with a smile and didn't say anything. That's right, all of this was part of Qin Shaofeng and Emperor Qin's plan.
Emperor Qin led the Qin army to conquer one large province after another in the Star Luo Empire, allowing the Star Luo Empire's imperial family to witness Emperor Qin's ability to lead an army. After that, it was time for Qin Shaofeng to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire. The current Qin army was simply too small; there were only 100,000 of them. No matter how powerful their combat prowess was, it wouldn't be enough. Conquering 50 provinces was already their limit.
However, Emperor Qin's goal wasn't just 50 provinces. Instead, it was the entire Immortal Realm. As such, Emperor Qin naturally agreed to give the Star Luo Empire the territories they conquered. As long as the Star Luo Empire's Emperor Qin had the ability to do so, then it didn't matter how large the territory was, it wouldn't be an issue.
This was because even if all of the territories conquered by the Qin army were handed over to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family to manage, there wouldn't be any issues. The power of Qin Shaofeng's demonic seed would continue to grow along with his strength. When the time came, he would be able to directly control the entire Star Luo Empire. Even if they were given more territory, so what?
Now that the Star Luo Empire's patriarch heard Qin Shaofeng's words and agreed to Qin Shaofeng's conditions, it was equivalent to the Star Luo Empire and the New Qin Empire forming an alliance. With the Star Luo Empire's army as the condition, the territories conquered by Emperor Qin would be handed over to the Star Luo Empire. However, who would benefit from this alliance in the end? Only Qin Shaofeng knew the answer to that question.
As the two empires formed an alliance, the war to attack the Blood Lake Empire began!
