Lin Qian looked at Yue Liqun, who was kneeling before him, kowtowing and begging. He did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Lin Qian said coldly, "I'm a man of my word. Since I said that I wouldn't let you consume the cleansing potion, you're going back on your words in the blink of an eye. Do you think I'm joking?"
After gradually recognizing what kind of person he was, Lin Qian's way of doing things gradually started to change.
The humans in the Gulin world had just acknowledged him as their master and became part of the Hua Xia Empire. Hence, he had to establish his authority.
He could not easily overturn what he said. Otherwise, what kind of emperor would he be?
After hearing what Lin Qian had to say, Yue Liqun's face was ashen. He kowtowed three times to Lin Qian. "I still have to apologize to you, Your Majesty. I was short-sighted and short-sighted earlier."
Yue Liqun did not continue to beg Lin Qian, which surprised him. When he saw the despair in Yue Liqun's eyes, he knew that Yue Liqun had given up on begging him.
This was because he already knew that Lin Qian would not agree to his request. If he continued to pester Lin Qian, he would only make Lin Qian unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I know I've sinned. Please don't give up on the humans in the North colony because of my ignorance." Yue Liqun kowtowed three times to Lin Qian and begged again.
However, this time, he was not doing it for himself. He was doing it for the humans in the North colony.
Although the humans in the North colony were mostly managed by Yue Liqun's godson, he was still the leader of the humans in the North colony. He had to think for the humans there.
"It seems like the humans in the North colony must become a part of the Hua Xia Empire. Since they're citizens of the empire, we naturally won't mistreat them. You don't have to worry about that. " As he said this, Lin Qian looked at Yue Liqun with interest. "I'm curious. Should I call you Yue Liqun or Yang Junyue now?"
"Your Majesty, Yang Junyue is already dead. Now, there's only a foolish man who is powerless to take revenge." Yue Liqun lowered his head and murmured. His tone was sorrowful. It was obvious that he was thinking of his wife from another race.
Lin Qian nodded silently. He looked at Yue Liqun for a long while, then suddenly said, "Considering that you are still thinking about your fellow human beings, and that you are so sincere, if I don't give you a chance, it would be too unreasonable."
When Yue Liqun heard Lin Qian's words, his eyes suddenly lit up with hope. He raised his head and looked at Lin Qian with excitement. "Your Majesty, is that true?"
Xu Mengqing and Fu Deqing, who were standing at the side, also revealed joyful expressions. After hearing Lin Qian's words, they obviously knew that Yue Liqun had a new hope.
"Since I have said that you are not allowed to consume the Cleansing Potion, then you are not allowed to consume it." At this point, Lin Qian paused for a moment before a strange crystal suddenly appeared in his hand. It was something that no one present had seen before.
The crystal was clean and flawless. It had a pale yellow luster, and tiny, obscure runes were faintly discernible within it.
The entire crystal was octagonal in shape, and was only the size of a palm. No soul power undulations could be sensed from it, but it had an indescribable aura that made it seem unreal.
"I don't know what will happen after using this thing. I don't even know if it can solve your problem." At this point, Lin Qian waved the item in his hand at Yue Liqun. "How about it? Do you dare to take a gamble?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a chance. Without this opportunity, I'm afraid that I would be no different from a walking corpse. Instead of that, I might as well take a gamble!" Yue Liqun said to Lin Qian with a resolute expression.
Yue Liqun's words made Lin Qian nod his head to himself. He tossed the item in his hand to Yue Liqun and said, "Keep it well. After the meeting is over, you can stay behind alone."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yue Liqun nodded his head excitedly. After that, he went to Xu Mengqing's side under Lin Qian's indication.
With this, the four elders of the Ancient Forest World, as well as the human leaders of the four colonies and the human leaders of the ten great colonies, were all present.
"Yue Liqun's experience in the past clearly indicated two things. Firstly, the Black Horn King has undergone some sort of change. He is cruel and heartless. Secondly, not all members of the Black Horn Race are cruel and unbearable. "After Lin Qian finished speaking, everyone nodded their heads in succession.
At this point, Yue Liqun suddenly raised his hand.
This was the rule that Lin Qian had emphasized before. Before speaking, he had to raise his hand first.
"Yue Liqun, do you have anything to say?" Lin Qian looked at Yue Liqun, indicating that he could say what he wanted to say.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yue Liqun bowed and turned to face the crowd. It seemed that after Lin Qian had given him hope, his mind was much clearer than before.
"In fact, with my father-in-law's old friend from the Third Duke's Mansion as the leader, they have secretly gathered a large number of clansmen in the Black Horn Nation. They call it the Reverse King Palace!
"The Reverse King Palace is formed by the Black Horn Race that opposes the Black Horn King. They aim to overthrow the current Black Horn King's rule and end the chaotic and bloody era in the Ancient Forest World."
After saying this, Yue Liqun looked at the stunned crowd. "In fact, when the Black Horn Nation attacked the Four Clan Regions eight years ago, the Reverse King Palace secretly helped them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have won that war so easily."
After hearing Yue Liqun's words, the crowd came to a sudden realization. They understood why the enemy had been defeated so quickly during the attack eight years ago.
Hearing Yue Liqun's words, Lin Qian found it interesting and asked curiously, "It seems that you have always been in contact with the Reverse King Palace?"
Yue Liqun nodded. "That's right, Your Majesty. In the past, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I hid it. Now, I think it's time to tell the truth. "
The crowd at the side nodded. With Lin Qian's appearance, they could listen to Yue Liqun's explanation calmly. It was easier for them to accept this matter.
"When the time comes, notify the Reverse King Palace. When I attack the Black Horn Nation, try not to interfere and cause trouble." Then, Lin Qian looked at the crowd in front of him. "The same goes for all of you. Be in charge of the use of the purification potion by the human race. Also, make sure everyone uses the detection card to observe. Understand?"
"Your Majesty, this …"
Lin Qian's words shocked everyone. When they knew that Lin Qian wanted to attack the Black Horn Nation, they thought he would need the help of the Ancient Forest World's humans or even the other three clans.
In the end, Lin Qian told them not to interfere. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
"It seems like you don't understand." Seeing everyone's expression, Lin Qian smiled. "Even though you have recovered your strength, you will only cause trouble if you interfere. Why don't you focus on treating the humans' poison from the Soul Transformation Fruit?"
"Your Majesty, even though your strength is unrivaled, you are alone. How can you deal with the entire Black Horn Nation?" Wang Qiongxing hurriedly advised.
Feeling the power of his Awakening Realm, and the corresponding increase in his powerful body, Lin Qian gave a smile. "Who says zhen is alone?"
