Two months had passed since the end of the Southern Meeting. The Eight-Armed Sea Tribe had already returned to the sea they came from. Zhang Zide, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Wenxuan, who had returned alive, had become the most dazzling stars of the younger generation.
The forces of the Southern Region and the Southern Sea Region were all quietly waiting for the development of the Eight Armed Sea Tribe, the Qin Dynasty, the Walkabout Sect, the Blood Spirit Valley, and the Dual Extreme Palace.
However, the Qin Dynasty did not do as the Sixth Marquis had said and let the four forces know the true meaning of the Qin Dynasty's anger. Instead, they were strangely calm.
However, this did not mean that nothing had happened. Some people noticed that the Qin Dynasty's army had begun to gather, as if preparing for war.
Moreover, the border between the Qin Dynasty and the Dual Extreme Palace was constantly in conflict. Both sides had suffered injuries, but no one had died.
Once someone died, the conflict would definitely erupt.
Both sides seemed to be waiting for something. As for why they did not directly attack, there were many different opinions.
Some people said that the current Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the Old Emperor were in seclusion, hoping to break through to the next level and improve their battle strength.
Once he successfully came out of seclusion, his strength would greatly increase, and then he would attack the four forces, striving for victory in this war.
Some people also said that the Qin Dynasty was actually looking for information about the Hua Xia Empire. They wanted to see where this unknown little kingdom was and then directly send experts to wipe it out.
Later on, the news of the Hua Xia Empire was also dug up, causing many people to laugh and cry.
The so-called Hua Xia Empire only occupied an extremely remote Linhai Province. The strongest experts there were not even at the Life and Death Realm, and there were less than five of them.
Many people finally understood why the Qin Dynasty was not in a hurry to attack. They were probably making comprehensive preparations.
After all, such a small place was not worthy of the Qin Dynasty's attention. Didn't the murderer of the Qin Dynasty's third prince and fifth princess die in the ruins?
It was likely that the Qin Dynasty was preparing to attack the Dual Extreme Palace, the Walkabout Sect, and the Blood Spirit Valley. The current Emperor had probably heard from his sixth brother about the three's tyrannical strength and the relationship between the ruins.
How could the Qin Dynasty have such a huge hidden danger by their side?
Therefore, many people believed that the Qin Dynasty was preparing to use this opportunity to wipe out these three new forces and strengthen the dynasty.
In comparison, the Linhai Prefecture, a broken empire, was simply a joke.
However, the ruler of the Hua Xia Empire had killed the Third Prince and Fifth Princess of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty were to simply let them off the hook, it would damage the reputation of the Qin Dynasty. As such, the Qin Dynasty decided to employ mercenaries to deal with the Hua Xia Empire.
They provided the ruling powers of the two prefectures around the Linhai Prefecture with pills, soul armaments, elemental armaments, and soul crystals as war resources, and had them attack the Linhai Prefecture. From the perspective of the Qin Dynasty, the two prefectures that were clearly stronger than the Linhai Prefecture attacking the Hua Xia Empire was a one-sided massacre.
Not to mention the resources that he funded himself.
Of course, this was done in secret by the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the ruling powers of the two prefectures were warned not to act prematurely.
"The Human Emperor said that when the Qin Dynasty and the four other factions start fighting, you will attack the Linhai Prefecture. Do you understand?" A man with a feminine expression said to the two middle-aged men in front of him.
The feminine man's expression was arrogant from start to finish. He looked at the two men in front of him with disdain, "I don't know what kind of luck your Breeze School and Eagle Mountain School got to have the Human Emperor order you to become his vassals. This is an honor that ordinary factions cannot enjoy."
The Wind Province's Cool Wind School and the Lianshan Province's Eagle Mountain School were both powers that ruled over a province. Although they were also very remote places, there were still more than twenty Life and Death Realm warriors, which was much more powerful than the Sea Province.
At least, that was how the Qin Dynasty saw it.
"Alright, swear on your Heart Demon Oaths that you will not spread this matter!" The feminine man nodded in satisfaction after seeing the sect leaders of the Breeze School and Eagle Mountain School swear their oaths. He then left the meeting hall and headed into the distance.
He was not worried that the two sides would not do anything after taking the items. If two small sects dared to not do anything after taking the items from the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't that be courting death?
As for making them vassals, it was just a perfunctory matter. At that time, whether the Double Extreme Palace, Walkabout School, Blood Spirit Valley, and the Eight Arm Sea Race would retaliate against them was not within the scope of the Qin Dynasty's consideration.
After seeing the feminine man leave, the two sect leaders, who had been fawning over him, turned gloomy.
The sect leader of the Breeze School was called Feng Huabin. He looked like a scholarly Scribes, but from the aura he emitted, one could tell that he was a Life and Death Realm and Soul Realm expert. He was fully deserving of being the strongest expert in the Wind Prefecture.
As for the sect leader of the Eagle Mountain School, his name was Jia Gong. The aura he emitted was clearly much sharper, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
"Indeed, the two of you who swore Heart Demon Oaths cannot speak of this matter. However, it doesn't matter if I hear it myself." At this moment, a person suddenly walked out from the back of the Conference Hall. He looked at the two sect leaders with an apologetic expression. "I've made the two of you feel wronged. Lin Qian hereby swears that he will not treat you unfairly, nor will he treat the two sects unfairly."
Seeing Lin Qian like this, the two hastily stepped forward in terror, repeatedly waving their hands.
"In comparison, the Qin Dynasty is truly too arrogant and condescending. They're not like His Majesty, who is young and promising, neither arrogant nor haughty, and personally treats the wise with respect. "Feng Huabin stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
On the other side, Jia Gong also said viciously, "The Qin Dynasty really has a good plan. We're right behind the Walkabout School. If we really listen to their instructions and destroy the Waterfront Prefecture, we'll probably be exterminated in the next moment. If that happens, not only will we be helping them, but we'll also be eliminated as a burden. "
In reality, after receiving the message from the Qin Dynasty, the two sect leaders had already discussed and decided to meet with the people of the Waterfront Prefecture to discuss with them what to do.
In the past year, the Waterfront Prefecture had been on good terms with them, and had done many transactions with them. It could be considered as a cooperative relationship.
This was also why they decided to discuss with the Waterfront Prefecture instead of accepting the Qin Dynasty's conditions. They disliked the attitude of the Qin Dynasty to begin with, and they also knew that they would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Walkabout School if they agreed and did such a thing.
However, after they expressed their intentions to the Waterfront Prefecture, an unexpected person appeared. It was the master of the Hua Xia Empire, Lin Qian!
It must be known that all the powers of the southern region and the South Sea Region knew that the main reason for the conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the four powers was that Lin Qian was trapped in the minor world of the ruins.
However, the person who should have been trapped had actually personally appeared before them.
