The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1128 - 1129: A Meeting

Meanwhile, in the dark outer void, Lin Qian's celestial body remained unscathed, staring coldly ahead at the four figures that had completely collapsed.
"Looks like they're quite badly injured." Lin Qian suddenly spoke, turning to Wei Ziliang's Soul Energy Avatar beside him, smiling.
Wei Ziliang's Soul Energy Avatar, contrary to its previous sickly appearance, was brimming with energy, and his demeanor was relaxed: "It seems that mentioning this to His Majesty was the right decision. Who would have thought that this meeting would yield such abundant rewards?"
At this moment, Wei Ziliang's emotions were incredibly evident, showing great joy; the gains from this encounter were extraordinarily plentiful.
The Hall Masters of Ming Chun Hall had approached him, seeking a meeting at this location in their Soul Energy forms, and he had already guessed their intentions.
On the surface, they were there to persuade surrender, but in reality, they wanted to assess his current condition.
Only after confirming his state would they decide on the most prudent approach when it was time to act.
If his injuries weren't as severe as they assumed, they would need to be more cautious when attacking the Wei family, avoiding recklessness.
They might have to prepare for longer, wait until his injuries worsened before taking action.
At least from their perspective, it seemed he was beyond recovery.
If the injuries were severe to the point of being terminally ill, the chances of success in the attack would increase significantly.
Moreover, there would be no need to wait long; they could strike against the Wei family directly.
However, Wei Ziliang knew his status well and could not meet the other side directly, so he discussed the matter with Lin Qian.
Lin Qian, naturally not leaving the Grand Hall of War, gathered his celestial body to meet Wei Ziliang, heard the matter, and devised a strategy.
Using Soul Energy to enhance an attack can harm one's own soul, something Lin Qian clearly understood, thus planning to turn this into a self-inflicted consequence.
What followed was the previous scene, where the other side indeed took the initiative, suffering from the fierce counterattack of Lin Qian's soul and national fortune.
After all, Lin Qian's soul strength was among the top in all the realms, and having undergone purification by the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, his soul strength had approached the level of Immortals in the Upper Realm.
Although constrained by his realm, he couldn't use too much soul force externally, but any attack would naturally trigger a reflexive counter.
The four opponents treated Lin Qian as an ordinary Earth Realm practitioner, a remarkably stupid decision.
Even Wei Ziliang was equally shocked, recognizing his young master as more mysterious and extraordinary, truly worthy as his master's son.
Initially, when he heard Lin Qian's plan, he was unbelieving, worried about what would happen if anything went wrong.
How would he then explain to his master?
Hence, Lin Qian devised a method for Wei Ziliang to attack him with soul energy as a trial.
To be cautious, Wei Ziliang attacked Lin Qian with a small amount of soul energy.
At that moment, Wei Ziliang endured a massive soul impact; had Lin Qian not checked his power in time, Wei Ziliang's soul might have been severely damaged.
He recalled the despair felt during Lin Qian's soul counterattack.
From heaven to earth, everywhere he could not escape and had to squarely face Lin Qian's counterattack.
This was the Emperor's will; when the Emperor targets you, there's no dodging—you must stand firm and withstand the Emperor's assault.
"With their souls injured, they'll probably need many days to recover their primordial energy before daring to make a move." Wei Ziliang looked toward the Danmu Realm of Ming Chun Hall, a teasing smile on his face, "They must indeed fear His Majesty greatly."
"This is also a good thing. In fact, the longer they hold back and prepare, the more advantageous it is for me," Lin Qian too glanced at the Danmu Realm, laughing softly.
Although Lin Qian was eager now, he could still afford to wait a couple of hundred years.
For this war, even preparing for four or five hundred years is considered short.
Of course, Lin Qian only needs less than four or five hundred years—a hundred years would suffice.
The most time-consuming task is nurturing the Phoenix Lineage to combat the Flowing Gold Clan.
Beyond outright military supremacy, Lin Qian hopes to leverage the Phoenix Lineage's bloodline to completely suppress them.
According to intelligence, bloodline suppression is more persuasive on the Flowing Gold Clan.
Moreover, once the Flowing Gold Clan, oppressed by bloodline suppression, discovers that Lin Qian can enhance their bloodline power, they will be easier to subdue.
As for the Hude Clan, Lin Qian doesn't see much potential for them, mostly using them for labor.
If they are sensible and integrate into the Empire, there's no harm—integration only requires an oath of the heart demon and the atmosphere of Huaxia Empire.
If they resist to the end, they shall be destroyed.
Faced with the Chaos Universe crisis, mere Hude Clan, daring to act rashly, naturally means obliteration.
Lin Qian's mercy is reserved only for the citizens of the Huaxia Empire.
"Next, don't worry too much about the war preparations; focus on transforming the Wei Realm. That's where you need to learn," Lin Qian gazed earnestly at Wei Ziliang, "The Empire lacks personnel, and with your realm, assisting in the Empire's development would be a great help."
"Now, there are many things within the Huaxia Empire that you need to learn."
As Lin Qian prepared to dissolve his celestial body, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Wei Ziliang, and said: "By the way, when you have the chance, visit the Prime Minister and have a chat. Perhaps it will help your cultivation."
"For instance, he might tailor a cultivation technique for you or point out some of your flaws."
After speaking, Lin Qian's celestial body slowly dissolved into this world, leaving Wei Ziliang stunned.
Wei Ziliang's expression was bewildered, hardly believing that a cultivation technique customized by the Prime Minister could surpass what he'd learned from his master.
Others might not know Lin Di's origins, but Wei Ziliang did; he was a figure from the Immortals' Upper Realm.
Nonetheless, as Lin Qian suggested, he ought to pay a visit to Prime Minister Zhuge Ming.
He just didn't know what awaited him.
