At the border between the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom, there was a hidden forest. An illusory formation covered the entire area.
In the middle of the forest, there was a simple building and many people were sitting in it.
These people looked very young and none of them looked old. The people sitting in the front were the Life Hall Master, Leng Wuyi and the Deputy Hall Master, Qiu Xian.
This place was the secret stronghold of the Life Palace. The twenty people present were all Branch Hall Masters of the Life Palace's various Branch Halls.
"The strength of the Hua Xia Empire has completely exceeded our expectations. Even the Qin Emperor's Imperial Army was no match for the Hua Xia Empire. What's more surprising is that the three Patriarchs of the Dual Polarity Palace, the Footloose Sect and the Blood Spirit Valley have become the three strongest people in the Southern Region in the blink of an eye! "Leng Wuyi looked at the crowd and sighed.
The speed at which the Qin Dynasty was defeated was beyond their expectations. They had originally thought that the Hua Xia Empire and the Qin Dynasty would both suffer great losses. However, reality had given them a hard slap in the face.
Both sides suffered great losses? The Hua Xia Empire did not even suffer a scratch and the Qin Dynasty's Human Emperor ran away.
"With the support of the three Patriarchs and the strength that the Hua Xia Empire has displayed, they have already surpassed the Qin Dynasty and become the eleventh top force in the Southern Region!" Qiu Xian, who was standing beside Leng Wuyi, rubbed her forehead and sighed. "Such a powerful force can easily crush us. If the Hua Xia Empire behaves the same way as the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom, the people will not have any hope."
The Sub-Hall Masters nodded in agreement with Qiu Xian's words. A man with six scars on his face said worriedly, "Now that the people of the Life Hall have gone into hiding, there won't be any safety issues for the time being. However, we don't know what the future holds for the people of the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom. "
"The Hua Xia Empire is so powerful and it requires a lot of resources. I'm afraid that the people of the Hua Xia Empire are living in misery!" Another sub-hall master said viciously. Helplessness rose in his eyes. "But this Hua Xia Empire can't resist at all."
"Right now, the Hua Xia Empire has already sent their armies into the cities of the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom. The Warbeast Army has also entered the forest. I don't know what they are doing. I'm afraid they are searching for us." At this time, Leng Wuyi suddenly said in a deep voice, "If we're found, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle, everyone must be prepared."
Qiu Xian nodded and looked at the door, "Vice Palace Master Qiuling has gone to investigate. I hope she can come back safely."
At this point, Qiu Xian looked a little nervous, and everyone expressed their understanding.
The Beast Army had entered the forest to search for traces of their Life Hall. The Hua Xia Empire might be preparing to wipe them out.
Deputy Palace Master Qiu Ling was the daughter of Qiu Xian and Leng Wuyi. It would be very dangerous for her to gather information outside. If anything happened …
Bang!
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened. A young lady who looked like Leng Wuyi rushed into the room in a panic. She grabbed the spiritual tea in front of her father and drank it in one gulp. However, it was not enough. She drank the tea in front of her mother as well. Only then did she wipe the tea in her mouth in satisfaction.
"Ling 'er … Deputy Palace Master Qiuling, why are you in such a panic?" Leng Wuyi frowned and asked worriedly when he saw his daughter's reaction.
Not only him, but everyone else also looked at Qiuling nervously. They did not know what news she would bring back.
"Phew!" Qiuling let out a long breath and calmed herself down. Then, she sat down and looked at everyone. She said with a serious and frightened expression, "You will never guess what the Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire did after he sent his men to the cities of the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom."
"What happened?" Seeing Qiuling's frightened expression, everyone felt that something was wrong.
Seeing the curious and solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Qiuling began to explain her experience. "When I was scouting for information, I accidentally bumped into that giant wolf from the Beast Army. Guess what happened in the end?"
Qiu Xian's heart was in her throat when she heard that Qiuling had encountered the terrifying giant wolf from the Warbeast Army. Even though she knew that her daughter was fine, she was still very worried.
"The giant wolf only glanced at me and spoke in the human language. It said that I was from the Hall of Life before it turned around and left.
"After that, I became curious. I followed the giant wolf from the Warbeast Army for a period of time. I realized that it wasn't searching for the Hall of Life like we had guessed. Instead, it was searching for the remnants of the Wei Kingdom and the Qiu Kingdom's armies.
"Furthermore, I realized that when the giant wolf passed by the towns and villages outside the cities, it would kill all the soul beasts around it. Then, it would store the corpses of the soul beasts in its storage bag and give them to the townspeople and villagers!"
"What?" Qiu Ling's words shocked the crowd. They couldn't believe their ears.
The fact that the Warbeast Army was not searching for them made them feel slightly relieved.
They had already experienced the intelligence of the Warbeast Army's Silvermoon Giant Wolves. Although the Empire's army and the Warbeast Army were not real living beings, they were actually very similar to artificial intelligence. They had intelligence, just that they did not have souls.
However, the Warbeast Army's actions of killing the soul beasts around the towns and villages and giving their corpses to the citizens was simply unbelievable.
This way, the citizens would benefit from it. They would not have to worry about the soul beasts around them wreaking havoc, and the corpses of the soul beasts that they would receive would be a great fortune.
Cooking and consuming the flesh of the soul beasts would strengthen the citizens' bodies.
"At that time, I thought that the Hua Xia Empire might not be hostile towards the Hall of Life. In order to verify this, I made a bold decision to let the people from my Sub-Hall go to the nearby Xiaoling City."
At this point, everyone held their breaths and waited anxiously for Qiuling to explain what happened next.
"In the end, the soldiers guarding the city recognized that we were from the Hall of Life at first glance and let us pass. They did not make things difficult for us at all." At this point, Qiuling's eyes widened. "At this point, I was certain that the Hua Xia Empire was not as hostile towards the Hall of Life as we had feared. They did not want to get rid of us."
"However, I did not understand why the Hua Xia Empire did not guard against the Hall of Life. We were originally an organization that fought against the Wei and Qiu Kingdoms for the sake of the citizens. The Hua Xia Empire should have been wary of us." At this point, Qiuling saw the puzzled looks in everyone's eyes.
Qiuling paused before a look of admiration appeared on her face. "After seeing what the Hua Xia Empire did in Xiaoling City, I immediately understood. The Hua Xia Empire is completely different from the Qin Dynasty, the Wei Kingdom, and the Qiu Kingdom … "
"No … it's different from all the forces that I know." At this point, Qiuling took out a jade token and waved it in front of everyone. "Therefore, I am now a citizen of the Hua Xia Empire!"
