"The Hua Xia Empire is actually so powerful? That's impossible, right?" Hearing the Eighth Elder's words, the Head Elder with the red nose was slightly taken aback. His eyes widened as he looked at the Eighth Elder.
It wasn't just the Walkabout Sect's Head Elder. Within the conference hall, the elders of the Dual Extreme Palace and Blood Spirit Valley were also very surprised by this news.
According to their imaginations, the Hua Xia Empire shouldn't have such strength.
Even if the five provinces' factions were added together, it wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the Walkabout Sect's teeth. However, in their impressions, it shouldn't be something that the Hua Xia Empire could handle.
"Just how strong is the Hua Xia Empire? How many people does it have? How strong is its strongest?" The Head Elder looked at the Eighth Elder as he repeatedly asked.
In response to the Head Elder's questions, the Eighth Elder could only bitterly laugh. He could only helplessly shake his head. "I don't know?"
"Don't know?" The Head Elder's voice suddenly became louder as he asked in confusion. "Don't tell me you don't know what's going on in the Hua Xia Empire?"
Hearing the Head Elder mention this, a bitter smile appeared on the Eighth Elder's face. "You think I don't want to know? I also want to enter the Hua Xia Empire to see what's going on. However, they won't let us in."
"They won't let you in?" Zhou Yian frowned as he looked at the Eighth Elder. "What do you mean?"
"I was originally planning to enter the Linhai Province to see what was going on. However, before I could even get close to the border of the province, a person covered in cyan soft armor appeared and told us to quickly scram outside of the five provinces."
"At that time, I wanted to go and help the Hua Xia Empire. Now, such a strange situation has occurred. Are we not allowed to go in and take a look? Why are they chasing us away? Just as I was about to argue, the other party attacked us. "
"Just as I was about to retaliate, the silver-armored black dragon soldier charged out. Although his aura was only at the Life and Death Realm, his strength was extremely strong. From start to finish, he suppressed me. In the end, his strength suddenly increased, seriously injuring me and even preparing to kill us all. "
"If I hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid …"
The Eighth Elder's words shocked everyone present.
The people of the Hua Xia Empire actually possessed such tyrannical strength. They were able to seriously injure the Eighth Elder of the Free And Unfettered Sect, who was in the Awakening Realm, with a Life and Death Realm mentality. This was simply unheard of.
"What's going on with this Hua Xia Empire? Aren't they a little too ignorant?" Hearing the Eighth Elder's words, one of the Footloose Sect Elders frowned and grumbled.
Hearing the elder's words, many people nodded in agreement. They felt that the Hua Xia Empire had gone overboard.
After all, he came to help you out of goodwill, yet you actually tried to kill him?
"You have to pay the price for what you've done. Not killing you is already giving face to Senior Zhou, and you're blaming my people for being heavy-handed?"
At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly appeared at the entrance of the conference hall. He walked straight in and said in a cold tone.
Everyone was extremely surprised by Lin Qian's appearance. Only Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yian, and Yang Guixiang weren't surprised, as if they'd already expected him to come.
In reality, Lin Qian had already contacted the three of them three days ago. It was the three of them who'd asked Lin Qian to come today to discuss the Qin Dynasty.
"You …" Seeing Lin Qian walk in, the Eighth Elder pointed at him. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Qian rudely cut him off.
"What about you? The Hua Xia Empire expressed its gratitude for you rushing over to help, gifting you ten million mid-grade soul crystals as thanks. Just running back and forth gave you a hundred thousand high-grade soul crystals. I'm afraid that's already a profit, right?
"But this Eighth Elder actually asked for a million high-grade soul crystals, and even forced his way into the Linhai Prefecture. He wouldn't leave unless he gave us the soul crystals.
"My people didn't agree, so you directly attacked. Instead, you're framing us. How impudent!"
At that point, the scarlet-golden soulforce within Lin Qian's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. He suddenly raised his leg and lashed out at the Eighth Elder.
In everyone's eyes, the kick was like a lightning whip that lashed out at the Eighth Elder's abdomen.
The Eighth Elder was originally injured by Zhao Long, so his strength wasn't at its peak. Furthermore, he didn't think that Lin Qian would actually dare to attack him in a place like this. Caught off guard, he was sent flying out of the hall.
Lin Qian pulled back his legs and spread his soul power. His gaze swept the surroundings. "This kind of greedy and insatiable person who wants a mile when given an inch, and distorts black and white, is it wrong to teach him a lesson?"
Outside the hall, the Eighth Elder had been sent flying by Lin Qian's kick. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to crawl up from the ground. He glared at Lin Qian with resentment before turning around and leaving.
However, what the Eighth Elder didn't know was that as he turned around, Lin Qian had a look of success in his eyes.
Lin Qian wanted the Eighth Elder to hate him and think of ways to harm him. That way, it would be even more beneficial to him.
If the Eighth Elder of the Free And Unfettered Sect had been purely an elder of the sect, Lin Qian wouldn't have done this. He would have just let Zhou Yian deal with him.
At the same time, Lin Qian wanted to see exactly how Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yian, and Yang Guixiang treated him.
"The Eighth Elder has indeed gone too far in this matter." Zhou Yian slowly nodded his head after understanding what had happened.
Fang Shuiwen and Yang Guixiang nodded their heads as well. They didn't think that Lin Qian had done anything wrong in this matter.
Everyone in the hall was silent. After hearing what Lin Qian had said earlier, they too felt that the Eighth Elder had gone too far in this matter.
The Eighth Elder had already taken care of the matter on his own, so the Eighth Elder would have made a wasted trip. He wouldn't have been of any use at all. It wouldn't have been a problem if the Eighth Elder had simply thanked him.
Since the Eighth Elder had offered a hundred thousand high grade soul crystals as compensation for his escape, he had already done his utmost in benevolence.
However, the Eighth Elder had been so greedy that he had asked for a million high grade soul crystals. When the Eighth Elder hadn't agreed, he had even attacked him?
After hearing Lin Qian's explanation, the Walkabout Sect elders' faces all turned red. They felt extremely ashamed to have a colleague like this.
Since the Eighth Elder had left without retorting, it was obvious that Lin Qian wasn't wrong.
However, the three elders' attitude towards Lin Qian had also shocked them.
Even though the Eighth Elder was in the wrong, Lin Qian's people had still managed to heavily injure him.
Now that Lin Qian had kicked the Eighth Elder out of the hall, he was simply not giving the three elders any face. However, the three elders didn't seem to care at all and were extremely biased towards him.
Furthermore, the three elders had been easily angered when Lin Qian had disappeared. Now that he had returned to normal, it was completely possible to see some clues.
"I'll have to trouble the three seniors to deal with the two Qin Emperors of the Qin Dynasty. As for the army of the Qin Dynasty, I'll leave it to the Hua Xia Empire to handle. Your people shouldn't come and cause trouble."
When Lin Qian finished speaking, everyone was stunned, wondering if they had heard wrong.
