The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1124 - 1125: Assimilation

The Vermilion Bird heard and bowed her head to take the command, "Empress, rest assured that I will not let you and His Majesty down."
Immediately after, the Vermilion Bird turned back and looked toward those dozen or so clan leaders from various branches of the Phoenix tribe: "Do not let me down, strive harder. In the upcoming possible battle, you are very important."
"If because of you, you ruin His Majesty's great plans, I will by no means spare you." The Vermilion Bird's tone was harsh as she stared at the clan leaders from the many branches of the Phoenix lineage.
Looking at these respectful clan leaders, a bitter smile appeared on Lan Ning's face. Originally, their Starry Sky Blue Phoenix tribe went to the Phoenix tribe's gathering to gain some prestige.
But at that moment, Ye Xin suddenly sent this woman named the Vermilion Bird to accompany them, saying that there were other arrangements.
And the so-called arrangement was the Vermilion Bird showcasing her bloodline talent, forcibly subduing all clans of the Phoenix lineage, and intimidating numerous branches.
The fierce power of the bloodline within her body deterred any branch of the Phoenix lineage from daring to resist her.
There was no way around it; the bloodline power within the Vermilion Bird seemed naturally to suppress the Phoenix lineage, incredibly terrifying.
And the Vermilion Bird's intention was clear: the Huaxia Empire wanted to annex the Phoenix lineage, train them to deal with the Flowing Gold Clan.
Within the Emperor Demon Army that commands the Demon Clan, among the Four Saints, the Azure Dragon belongs to the Dragon Clan and has a legion from it. The White Tiger has its Tiger Clan group, and Xuan Wu controls both the Turtle Clan and the Snake Clan.
Only the Vermilion Bird stands alone, without a group. As in the game settings of old, the Vermilion Bird's assault power was terrifying, with soaring flames sweeping like a sea of fire, possessing horrific group killing abilities.
However, correspondingly, the Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Saints with no group, so Lin Qian thought of using the indigenous group of this world to serve as the Vermilion Bird's group, naturally considering the Phoenix tribe.
The Phoenix tribe, among all worlds, is not considered a particularly powerful race, merely somewhat famous and slightly inferior compared to top powers.
In fact, Lin Qian had long sent people to collect information on the Phoenix tribe. After thorough understanding, he grasped where the Phoenix lineage was lacking in strength.
Simply put, they do not know how to utilize their strength, as there is no guide within the tribe to lead them in utilizing their talents.
In reality, the Phoenix lineage, with many branches, has various talents of its own, rich with potential.
But this tribe relies too heavily on their innate abilities to elevate their realm, and overly depends on their talents, lacking the drive to improve.
They never think about enhancing their abilities or advancing their existing cultivation techniques.
On the contrary, the Phoenix lineage maintains a passive, content posture, which leaves Lin Qian somewhat speechless.
From the Vermilion Bird's perspective, this Phoenix lineage is simply wasting their talented abilities, and she is fully capable of training this group.
Thus, Lin Qian decided to incorporate the Phoenix lineage into the Huaxia Empire, allowing this group to be governed by the Vermilion Bird, who would be under Ye Xin's command.
Ye Xin, carrying the bloodline of the Xuanyan Human Clan, is undoubtedly the Empress of the fire element; it is fitting for her to assume control.
Of course, the highest authority will still naturally be Lin Qian himself.
Moreover, Lin Qian is greatly interested in the Flowing Gold Clan; if possible, he genuinely wishes to incorporate this group into the Huaxia Empire.
He believes the Flowing Gold Clan's talents have a huge potential for growth, which, combined with Huaxia Empire's technology, could transform them dramatically.
For Ming Chun Hall's rapid strategic settlement, Lin Qian also harbors the intention of intimidating other forces, aiming to incorporate them with minimal warfare.
The Phoenix lineage's territory, although not within the Wei family's domain, coincidentally lies right next to it, adjacent also to the Danmu Realm.
This realm is one Lin Qian has already dispatched Ghost Shadows to infiltrate, secretly placing it within his control.
The Phoenix lineage's territory will openly become part of Huaxia Empire's territory. Thus, when war commences, this territory can serve as a jumping-off point, launching a thunderous offensive on this realm, integrating it into the Empire's territory.
"Next, personnel from the Empire's Heavenly Art Department will handle the integration of the Phoenix lineage into the Empire." At this point, Ye Xin looked down upon these beings of the Phoenix lineage from above, the aura of the Xuanyan bloodline surging from her body.
Instantly, a terrifyingly profound pressure emerged from nowhere, and everyone in the Phoenix lineage, whether Lan Ning, Lan Yiyi, or Lan Fenger, felt an overwhelming fear arising from the depths of their souls.
This was a profound intimidation, soul-level suppression by the Xuanyan Human Clan's talent, to be reckoned with.
The only ones seemingly unaffected now were the Vermilion Bird and Ye Nanxin.
Ye Nanxin herself also possessed the Xuanyan Human Clan bloodline, while on the other hand, the Vermilion Bird's strength was beyond what Ye Xin could intimidate with just her aura.
"You need to understand that merging into the Huaxia Empire is His Majesty the Emperor's benevolence. Soon you will realize this integration is actually an opportunity for you." Ye Xin now stood high, and even in Lan Fenger's eyes, appeared somewhat foreign.
She seemed disoriented, wondering if this woman was really her daughter?
At this time, Ye Nanxin suddenly patted her on the shoulder, causing the oppressive pressure around her to vanish entirely: "Don't worry, Xinxin is still Xinxin; there's a difference between her external and internal personas."
At that moment, Lan Fenger shook her head slightly, clearing all distractions from her mind, realizing her daughter had indeed grown up, now also becoming the Empress of Huaxia Empire, understandably different.
Meanwhile, the various beings of the Phoenix lineage dared not speak, utterly deterred by Ye Xin, unable to voice a word.
Only when Ye Xin withdrew her aura did they finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, their gazes filled with fear, wondering how this girl, whom they previously underestimated, could possess such a terrifying bloodline influence, even more than the Vermilion Bird.
"Why are we dealing with the Flowing Gold Clan out of nowhere?" Suddenly, among the many clan leaders of the Phoenix lineage, someone spoke out in confusion.
"Because His Majesty plans to unify the entire Southern Dipper Thirty-Six Realms, now do you understand why?"
