Book One: Chapter 48: War
Soon, news of the Aeolian Empire's destruction spread, and everyone was no longer surprised. After all, the armies of the various Kingdoms had been forced into retreat by Qin, so how could the Aeolian Empire defend against Qin's ferocious attacks?
This battle shook the entire Ancient Stem Domain, and even the surrounding Domains heard about it.
A tiny border Kingdom had not only resisted the allied armies of a region, but it had also forced back the large Kingdoms of the inner regions and destroyed an Empire of the same level. How could they not be shocked by such terrifying power?
The people from the other Domains quickly gathered all information about Qin, wanting to know what kind of faction Qin was.
The Ancient Stem Domain's Royal Kingdoms and factions all fell silent. Back then, they had been able to casually destroy a small Kingdom, but now, it had grown into such a terrifying existence. This caused them to feel a trace of fear; was this still the small Kingdom from back then? It had developed too quickly.
Within the Ancient Sword Sect, Jian Yin told the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master everything that had happened. After hearing Jian Yin's words, the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was not as furious as before and instead became serious.
He admitted that he had underestimated Qin before; he had never thought that a border Kingdom would have such terrifying strength. Before, he had not been able to tell at all; if he had known, he would have destroyed it from the start. Now, it would be difficult to destroy it.
Moreover, he had never thought that Zhao Fu was that legendary disciple who had killed countless disciples and taken away the Sect Master's wife.
Regardless of whether the Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master knew about this or not, after this matter, the Ancient Sword Sect had become mortal enemies with the Qin Empire. The Ancient Sword Sect's Sect Master was determined to destroy the Qin Empire.
Heavenly Music Sect.
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked quite confused. Hearing Yin Ruoshi's words, she had thought that Qin was finished. With Qin's strength, he would not be able to defend against the armies of the various Kingdoms. However, what she had never thought was that the various armies had been forced back before they had even fought with Qin.
Yin Ruoshi had stealthily followed the various armies to go to the Qin Empire and take advantage of the chaos to obtain some of Qin's legacies and treasures. However, before the armies had reached the Qin Empire, they had retreated, causing their plans to fail.
The beautiful woman said softly, "Fortunately, we didn't send troops to attack Qin. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for us to become enemies with such a terrifying faction. In the past, we truly underestimated him and thought that a small border Kingdom was not a threat."
Yin Ruoshi said, "Actually, when I first saw that Imperial Prince Qin, my intuition told me that he was a very terrifying person. This time, when the various countries attacked Qin, I actually thought that Master could save him, as he might be of great use to the Heavenly Music Sect. I didn't expect that Qin had hidden himself so deeply."
"The sea of insects and beasts released by Qin is enough to destroy a kingdom in the inner area. Fortunately, they were destroyed by the armies of other countries. I don't know how Qin did it."
The beautiful woman also nodded seriously, "This Qin is unfathomable."
Eight Suns Dragon Sect.
After hearing about this, the Sect Master's expression became serious as he said, "That tiny Qin Empire has such power; the Ancient Stem Domain will not be peaceful in the future."
The mature woman next to her said worriedly, "That Imperial Prince Qin has many grievances with my son, and I'm worried that he will act against my son. My son might not be a match for such a person."
Long Yang said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, I'm the fourth-ranked genius in the Ancient Stem Domain, while he's just a small King from a border Kingdom. How could I be inferior to him? If I fought him one on one, I would be able to kill him with a single hand. "
A cold-looking woman said seriously, "Long 'Er, don't be unconvinced; you're indeed inferior to him. If you became the ruler of a new world, would you be able to make your Kingdom into such a terrifying faction in just ten or so years?"
Hearing this, Long Yang knew that he would not be able to do such a thing, but he still said, "Second Mother, I won't compete with him in terms of leadership; I'll compete with him in terms of talent and power. That Imperial Prince Qin definitely isn't a match for me."
The cold-looking woman sighed, "Long 'Er, even though you're the fourth-ranked genius in the Ancient Stem Domain, don't be too arrogant. There are many people more powerful than you, and that Imperial Prince Qin is a genius who single-handedly created such a powerful Empire. Do you think he's a simple person?"
Long Yang fell silent. He had seen Zhao Fu before, but he had never fought with Zhao Fu before, so he did not know how strong Zhao Fu was.
A beautiful woman with a gentle aura smiled as she said, "In the future, it's best that you don't get involved in this matter and leave it to your father to handle. Just focus on cultivating."
Long Yang shook his head, "Third Mother, our Sect and the Qin Empire have become enemies, and one side will definitely be destroyed. I don't want to retreat; I want to face Qin head-on, and I'll even personally destroy Qin."
The Sect Master loudly laughed as he said, "That's more like my son. Don't worry, dad will fully support you."
Ice Origin Kingdom
Everyone in the palace fell silent. They now regretted not listening to Bing Qixue's words. Not only had they not destroyed Qin, but they had also gained such a terrifying enemy.
Bing Qixue's expression was also quite serious. Even though the Ice Origin Kingdom had not listened to him and attacked Qin, he was still the Prince of the Ice Origin Kingdom and the future ruler of the Ice Origin Kingdom. Offending Qin made him feel quite bad and gave him a headache.
Was there anything that could be salvaged?
There was nothing that could be salvaged. When they had decided to attack Qin, they had become enemies, and there was nothing that could be done to change this.
An extremely beautiful woman with long, icy hair – she was Bing Qixue's big sister. She looked at everyone and gave off a proud aura as she said, "Our Ice Origin Kingdom is a powerful Kingdom with over 1,000 years of foundation; how could we be afraid of a small border Kingdom?"
The middle-aged man sitting at the top said coldly, "Since things have turned out like this, there's nothing more to say between us and Qin. In the future, the Ice Origin Kingdom will use its full strength to destroy Qin."
Everyone thought about it and nodded. Since both sides had become enemies, they could only use their full strength to destroy Qin, or else Qin would destroy them.
Bing Qixue agreed with this decision because he could not resolve the current situation. He still did not know that Zhao Fu was that legendary disciple. If he knew about Zhao Fu's identity, he would have resolutely opposed it and even brought all sorts of gifts to Qin to apologize.
Li Baiqing and Su Yan felt quite lonely as they returned to the Fire Origin Kingdom.
They had held onto some hope that they would be able to destroy Qin and get rid of this mortal enemy of theirs, but they had still failed. This was a huge blow to them, and the current Qin was not the Qin they had known in the past.
They reported this matter to the Fire Origin Kingdom's King. They had failed again and would most likely be punished by the Fire Origin Kingdom's higher-ups.
However, this time, the Fire Origin Kingdom's experts spoke for them.
