The Peerless Emperor

However, in midair, Lin Qian's followers from the Huaxia Empire remained suspended, and Yuan Supreme, who was originally stationed elsewhere, also abruptly appeared in the courtyard. No one saw the trajectory of his arrival.

"Simply breathtaking, impressive," Yuan Supreme, now in the courtyard, looked at the generals and War Beast General in midair, his eyes revealing astonishment, especially at the War Beast General.

"Order your people to set up camps, one in each of the four cardinal directions, northeast, southwest, and northwest, to construct four defensive camps and guard the Heavenly Art Department and Fire Department until the soul cannon defenses are complete," Lin Qian, still not descending from midair, commanded everyone before him.

Unable to take them back to the Huaxia Empire openly, he simply arranged for everyone to get to work.

Who knew if the Yun family might go mad and suddenly attack Yongquan State? It certainly wouldn't hurt to make defensive preparations in advance.

"By your command, Your Majesty," the people of the Huaxia Empire all knelt on one knee in midair before Lin Qian, shouting in unison with soaring morale.

Subsequently, everyone began discussing among themselves, dividing into four teams based on various factors such as the surrounding terrain of the valley city, spreading in different directions.

"My lord, your followers from the Huaxia Empire are truly extraordinary," Yuan Supreme, having landed in the courtyard, approached Lin Qian and spoke.

"My lord..."

Lin Di and Yun Yunyan were deeply shaken upon seeing Yuan Supreme. They didn't get a chance to greet him when he already approached their son and made such a salutation.

"Indeed, the Yuan family has truly recognized Qianer as their lord," As Lin Di and Yun Yunyan witnessed the scene before them, they fully grasped the reality, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The truth was just too astonishing, and for a moment, the couple couldn't come to their senses.

"Oh? Mr. Yuan, why say such a thing?" Seeing Yuan Supreme full of praise, Lin Qian was somewhat puzzled and looked at him.

Yuan Supreme watched the direction in which the Huaxia Empire's generals and War Beast Generals had left. It took him a long time to regain his composure before he said to Lin Qian, "The foundation is too perfect. Each breath is distinctive yet seamlessly integrated. Even more surprising is the identical nature of their Soul Power attributes. Thus, with these diverse powerful beings working together, they will unleash unimaginable combat strength."

"And their energy, it seems to be inseparable from the lord," Yuan Supreme commented, his eyes gleaming with intensity, "Complementary and distinct in roles yet inseparably linked, achieving twice the result with half the effort. Such a connection of energies is something any power leader would wish to see."

"But achieving this is truly difficult, as it requires subordinates to have absolute loyalty and trust in their lord..."

At this point, Yuan Supreme stiffened, a hint of terror appearing in his eyes as he looked at Lin Qian.

"Mr. Yuan, have you noticed?" Seeing Yuan Supreme's expression, Lin Qian had already realized that he had noticed.

The imperial Talent, its influence on those who pledge loyalty to oneself.

Once someone declared loyalty to Lin Qian, the imperial Talent would influence them, making them thoroughly loyal without them realizing it.

It is very difficult for the person themselves to notice.

However, Yuan Supreme had noticed, because in the past he wouldn't talk so much or explain things in detail to others.

But whenever Lin Qian asked, he would patiently clarify the matter.

He was Yuan Supreme, a peerless powerhouse whom everyone in the Human Clan would call an ancestor. Despite being instructed by the old ancestor to recognize Lin Qian as the lord,

for such a powerhouse, it would certainly feel awkward and take some getting used to.

But still…

"For the Young Master, I've become too accustomed," suddenly Yuan Supreme laughed out, slowly shaking his head.

From beginning to end, Lin Qian had been the Young Master to him, without the slightest discomfort, as if he himself were a follower, a subject of the other.

If there were any differences, it would probably be that Lin Qian was very respectful towards him.

In fact, Lin Qian understood very clearly that his most important attribute was not his outstanding talent or the powerful Huaxia Empire, but his Talent of Imperial Authority.

It was because of the Talent of Imperial Authority that the entire Huaxia Empire was so stable, and as long as they remained loyal to him, they would never betray him.

Lin Qian possessed a power that every leader in the world covets.

No betrayal ever!

"Is this, a kind of Talent?" Yuan Supreme, curious about this situation, asked Lin Qian.

Lin Qian gently nodded and said, "Yes, it is a unique Talent, much like the Martial Soul..."

"Originally, I was worried that other members of the Yuan family wouldn't accept the Young Master, but now it seems I needn't worry," Yuan Supreme said, his face showing a relaxed expression. "It's just that the process might be troublesome."

"I will make the other descendants of the Yuan family recognize me as their master from the bottom of their hearts, relying on my own strength," Lin Qian said slowly, looking at Yuan Supreme before him. "I plan to relieve the Yuan family of their burden of guardianship. From birth, they were tasked with protecting the entire Human Clan, which is too unfair to everyone in the Yuan family. This is something that the entire Human Clan should do together."

Yuan Supreme stared at Lin Qian, his expression somewhat stunned, even he took a while to come to his senses.

He had never heard such words before.

As Lin Qian had said, each member of the Yuan family knew very clearly from birth what they were supposed to do.

To protect the Human Clan, to guard the borders of the Human Clan's Territory, to fight against restless foreign races, to soak their warrobes in blood, falling in the process of protecting the Human Clan.

Every child of the Yuan family had to fully commit to Cultivation from birth, besides this, they also needed to train in combat skills, learn about foreign races, their coping strategies, and also understand various situations within and beyond the borders of the Human Clan's Territory.

They had no time to rest, for they were a guardian clan.

Indeed, the burden was too heavy!

As the ancestral teachings dictated, the people of the Yuan family had no choice but to do so, and the glory of Lord Xuan Yuan Xiang made it very difficult for them to bear.

"This matter, it's clear that Lord Xuan Yuan Xiang was wrong," Lin Qian said slowly, looking at Yuan Supreme.

Yuan Supreme sighed softly and said to Lin Qian, "But Young Master, if the Yun family sets aside their heavy burden, wouldn't it be too much for the Huaxia Empire to handle such a load?"

"Mr. Yuan, you misunderstand me. Lifting the Yuan family's unfair burden does not mean that the Huaxia Empire will protect the Human Clan," Lin Qian waved his hand at Yuan Supreme, clarifying.

Yuan Supreme paused, when Lin Qian spoke, he thought that Lin Qian planned to have the Huaxia Empire replace the Yuan family in guarding their borders. Had he misunderstood?

Could it be...

Yuan Supreme's pupils contracted, looking at Lin Qian, he inhaled sharply, "Young Master, you can't possibly mean..."

"Exactly, wouldn't it be better if the entire Soul Martial Continent were the territory of the Huaxia Empire?" Lin Qian suddenly shouted fervently, golden light erupting from his eyes, "After all, the Soul Martial Continent has always been battling each other year-round, why not let me put an end to it all?"
