The Peerless Emperor

```

After Lin Qian left, the Huaxia Empire's generals and War Beast Generals, when passing by the Yuan Supreme, all had eyes filled with a thick fighting spirit.

"How strong," murmured an old man, "I really have the urge to fight you."

"Don't cause trouble for His Majesty, and besides, with such a powerhouse, you, fighting alone, would simply be instantly killed."

"What if we all attack together? Even such a powerhouse might not have it easy, right?"

"Don't be reckless."

Following Lin Qian, the generals talked among themselves, and at that moment, a rebuke came from ahead.

"Mr. Yuan, who has already pledged allegiance to me, must not speak recklessly." With Lin Qian's roar, the imperial might descended upon them, drastically changing the expressions of many generals and War Beast Generals.

After Lin Qian's rebuke, the situation, which had been somewhat chaotic, finally quieted down and no longer in disarray.

Behold, following Lin Qian and the group of generals and War Beast Generals, the large and orderly Imperial Army and War Beast Army emerged, with the well-equipped forces of the Huaxia Empire impressing the Yun family people greatly with their appearance.

Farther back, there were also many elegantly dressed scholars and robust men clad in leather.

"Completely different from the generals and marquises of those dynasties and boundary countries. They might be extremely powerful, but it's all so messy," muttered an elder from the Yuan family, watching the generals and War Beast Generals depart.

"No, you're wrong, although they seem noisy and unruly. From beginning to end, they've been exuding Soul Power from within their bodies," said Yuan Wudi with a grave expression, looking towards the direction Lin Qian and others were heading. "They are not at all disordered, but marching in a specific formation as though in battle Array."

"Some are very combative, and some are extremely restless. These powerful beings have various temperaments, do not be deceived by their words."

"From beginning to end, their strange formation has never been disrupted, their presence always solid as a sheet of iron, and even the rhythm of their breathing is exactly the same. Their postures may differ, but the pace of their steps is in perfect unison."

"Eight hundred Transcendence Realm Ninth Level experts with wildly different personalities, yet from the start to the end, they move as one entity—do you realize how terrifying that is?"

Upon saying this, the Yuan Supreme looked towards the gigantic procession ahead, a sense of fear rising from within: "Father, what exactly does he want to do? Is it merely to suppress the so-called rebellious Yun family? Eight hundred from the Transcendence Realm would be enough to annihilate the Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern, and Central Domains."

"You have already spoken the young master's intentions, what's the point in asking aloud?" Yuan Supreme's indifferent words shocked Yuan Wudi into silence, unable to speak.

"Just let go of the Yuan family's burden, and unify the entire Soul Martial Continent."

Lin Qian's words still echoed in the Yuan Supreme's mind, and watching the endless stream of troops emerging from the portals, the Yuan Supreme suddenly realized that the other party's goal might truly be realized.

Within the territory of the Yuan family, the Huaxia Empire's massive army spread out in various directions towards the Yun family.

With the Yun family at the center, one hundred and ninety states in the southwest direction of the Yuan family's territory continuously provided various resources for this great family.

```

The Yun family, a clan skilled in Artifact Refining and Array formation, always had a successful market for their Soul Devices, making them the wealthiest among their peers.

Their Territory was rich in Soul Ore, essential for crafting Soul Devices, and the Spirit Veins condensed the ore at an astonishingly fast rate.

The reason why Yun Fan, the Yun Monarch, was hailed as the hero of the Yun family was that when the family's fortunes had dwindled to a mere one hundred and three States, it was he who shouldered the responsibility, leading his followers and the Yun family to reclaim each lost State one by one.

Yun Fan, himself, possessed outstanding strength and a sharp instinct for battle.

What occasionally puzzled Yun Fan was how effortlessly he won battles that should have been tough, only to later discover that his wife's strength had always been superior to his own.

Those seemingly easy victories were due to his wife, Yun Rong, secretly assisting him from behind.

Swift Wind and Night Shadow had long infiltrated the Yun family's Territory, with Reconnaissance Beasts thoroughly deployed across all one hundred and ninety States.

Lin Qian had a clear understanding of the entire Yun family's situation.

To know oneself and one's enemy is to be undefeatable in a hundred battles.

The Array Maps crafted by the scholars of the Heavenly Art Department had been secretly buried throughout the Yun family's Territory by Swift Wind and Night Shadow, and the Array virus had silently begun its invasion.

The Huaxia Empire's unique and unfamiliar combat methods were eroding the Yun family's Territory in a silent and persistent manner, just like drizzle nourishing the ground.

Merely overwhelming the enemy with numbers was wasteful; achieving perfect victory for the Huaxia Empire required dominance in all aspects.

In Yongquan State, Lin Di and Yun Yunyan were animatedly recounting how Lin Qian had commanded the Imperial Army troops to overtake and completely annihilate Elder Yun Wu of the Transcendence Realm in the Ten Thousand Medicine Thousand Wood Valley.

They were also very detailed in their telling of events at the Joyous Combat Arena, their tones full of excitement and reminiscence.

"It was such a fun battle; it's a pity Qianer mentioned that battles in the Joyous Combat Arena only come once," Yun Yunyan said with a look of regret, leaving Yun Fan and Yun Rong speechless and dumbfounded.

"Ah, just hearing about it sounds so interesting. If I had been with you at the Ten Thousand Medicine Thousand Wood Valley, wouldn't I have experienced that playful sort of combat?" Yun Qingfeng said, grabbing his head and shaking it restlessly.

"But what really intrigues me is that the people from Huaxia Empire whom Qianer inherited can have such a clear power structure and coordinate so seamlessly. It's as if they were born for this," said Yun Fan, finishing his thought.

"The stronger one's strength and Realm, the more they care about their own power. In combat, even if there are many, it's almost the same as fighting solo. If there are more people, it's just a group dueling alone," he continued.

After Yun Fan spoke, Yun Rong by his side nodded in agreement, "It looks like, for Qianer, he prefers to combine everyone's strength into one force rather than rely on individual excellence."

"Speaking of which, Qianer's power base is in the Southern Domain, right? Now that he's come to the Central Domain, could it be that he's simply cast aside that vast Territory?" Yun Qingfeng said, spreading his arms wide, still shocked by Lin Qian's rule over the entire Southern Domain.

"In the past, we lived in seclusion in a small place in the Southern Domain, where Qianer was betrothed to a daughter of the Ye family. Now, it is his fiancée who assists with managing the Southern Domain," Yun Yunyan mused, a scene of Ye Xin carefully arranging Lin Qian's clothes during their childhood springing to mind, "A very attentive girl, indeed; she'll make a fine daughter-in-law."
