In fact, half a month after the Southern Meeting ended, the teleportation formation in the Four Prefectures had already been completed. Lin Qian had also quietly teleported to the Beginning Prefecture and returned to the Linhai Prefecture without alerting anyone.
Sometimes, it was never wrong to hold back. It was definitely a good thing to let others think that he was still trapped in the small world of the ruins.
All this time, Lin Qian had been silently observing the conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the Four Prefectures.
Even at the border of the conflict between the Dual Extreme Palace and the Qin Dynasty, Lin Qian had sent out scouting beasts to investigate.
As for the Linhai Prefecture, in the eyes of the outside world, it was a remote place with less than a handful of Life and Death Realm experts.
However, outsiders did not know that this was the result of Lin Qian's control. The entire Linhai Prefecture was guarded by the Empire's army and monitored by the Huaxia Boundary Formation. No spies from the outside could come in.
This included the Wind Prefecture and the Lianshan Prefecture, which had cooperated with the Linhai Prefecture in the past year. Whether it was the Breeze Sect or the Eagle Mountain Sect, they did not know the true strength of the Linhai Prefecture.
When Lin Qian received the message, he was very surprised. He did not expect the two sects to reveal the matter of the Qin Dynasty looking for them and to discuss it with the Hua Xia Empire.
At this time, Lin Qian also wanted to meet the two sect masters.
At the border between the Wind Prefecture and the Lianshan Prefecture, there was a lone peak. There was a meeting hall on it, which was where Lin Qian was.
When Feng Huabin and Jia Gong received news from the Hua Xia Empire that someone wanted to meet them, they were curious about who it was. When they saw Lin Qian, they were completely shocked.
The emperor of the Hua Xia Empire was a young man. This was something everyone knew. Many people used this title to mock Lin Qian.
They thought that a small country dared to call itself an empire and even combined the titles of emperor and emperor. They thought that he was a brat who did not know his limits.
However, Lin Qian, who was supposed to be trapped in the Small World, had actually appeared in front of them. This really surprised Feng Huabin and Jia Gong.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed the current situation. From Feng Huabin and Jia Gong's point of view, the Chill Wind Sect and the Eagle Mountain Sect had fallen into a dilemma.
If they didn't agree to the Qin Dynasty's request, wouldn't they suffer a calamity when the other four powers were defeated by the Qin Dynasty?
From the current situation, it was clear that the Qin Dynasty had a greater chance of winning. After all, it was an empire that had existed for so many years.
Even if the Dual Extreme Palace, the Walkabout Sect, the Blood Spirit Valley, and the Eight Armed Sea Tribe were to join forces, it would still be very difficult for them to face the Qin Dynasty.
"Why don't your two sects merge with the Hua Xia Empire and become a part of it?" Just when the two Sect Masters didn't know what to do, Lin Qian asked directly.
When Feng Huabin and Jia Gong heard Lin Qian's words, they found it hard to believe.
They had come to the Hua Xia Empire for a discussion purely out of benevolence, hoping to come up with a solution.
However, this young emperor had actually directly asked them to submit to him.
This made the two of them somewhat unhappy. If Lin Qian was stronger than them, it would still be reasonable if he asked them to submit to him.
However, Lin Qian's cultivation was only at the Life and Death Realm. Although he was very amazing at his age, it wasn't enough for the two sects to submit to him.
In the end, Lin Qian could only suggest that the two of them attack him together. If he could defeat the two sects, the two of them would submit to him.
Hearing Lin Qian's arrogant request, Feng Huabin and Jia Gong were somewhat angry that he was looking down on them. Moreover, they had agreed to his request, wanting to teach him a lesson.
However, not long after, the two Sect Masters, who were battered and bruised, hung their heads like defeated roosters.
Because the two of them had attacked Lin Qian together, not only was he not a match for the latter, but he was also easily defeated by the latter. They didn't have any power to fight back at all.
This made the two of them suffer a great setback. Their words were like water that had been poured out. Since they had agreed to submit to Lin Qian, they were naturally willing to concede defeat.
Of course, they didn't know that the emperor's domineering aura on Lin Qian's body had already taken effect when the two of them had decided to submit. The shackles of loyalty had already firmly bound them to the Hua Xia Empire.
Lin Qian didn't want anyone he saw. Feng Huabin and Jia Gong's abilities were still very powerful.
In fact, the resources of the Wind Province and the Lianshan Province weren't as good as the Linhai Province. However, their strength was indeed several times stronger than the Linhai Province in the past. The main reason was that the two of them had unified the two provinces.
Feng Huabin and Jia Gong, the two geniuses of sects from different provinces, had actually joined hands to fight. They had helped each other swallow up the other forces in their own provinces, and had finally succeeded in unifying the Wind Province and the Lianshan Province.
Moreover, the two provinces had a very close relationship. They had exchanged resources that the other didn't have. Moreover, they would regularly hold competitions between the young geniuses of the two provinces to encourage the younger generation to improve themselves.
The fact that the two of them could manage the Wind Province and the Lianshan Province, which were both lacking in resources, to a degree that was several times greater than the Linhai Province was already enough to prove their abilities.
Moreover, by subduing the two of them, they could also obtain the Wind Province and the Lianshan Province without bloodshed. So, why not?
It should be known that the area of the two provinces was slightly larger than the Linhai Province. Although there were more Life and Death Realm experts than the Linhai Province, the population was much smaller.
When the two of them had unified the Wind Province and the Lianshan Province, many people had died. Therefore, the population of the two provinces was much smaller than the Linhai Province.
It would be a waste if they didn't make use of the empty land.
In order to give the two sect leaders a boost of confidence, Lin Qian had specially brought them to visit the Hua Xia Empire in the Linhai Province.
When Feng Huabin and Jia Gong saw that a small city was guarded by ten thousand Life and Death Realm soldiers, they almost collapsed. Their legs went soft, and they directly fell to the ground. They looked at the smiling Lin Qian with fear in their hearts.
When they came to one city after another and saw the strength of the Hua Xia Empire, their legs kept shaking.
It wasn't that they were timid, but the strength displayed by the Hua Xia Empire was completely beyond their imagination.
After Lin Qian returned, the imperial army stationed in the Linhai Province and the Beginning Province had all been replaced by the six basic troops of the Life and Death Realm, as well as the advanced intermediate troops mixed in.
After seeing the strength of the Hua Xia Empire, Feng Huabin and Jia Gong felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
If they had really listened to the suggestion of the Qin Dynasty and attacked the Hua Xia Empire, they wouldn't even need the Walkabout Sect to retaliate. The Hua Xia Empire would be able to directly obliterate them. Moreover, they wouldn't be able to resist at all.
What made them even more afraid was that the Hua Xia Empire actually possessed such tyrannical strength, and they actually didn't notice it at all.
When they found out that Lin Qian had hidden his strength and what he was planning to do, the two sect leaders couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. They were extremely impressed by his thinking!
