The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1158 - 1159: The Number One Prodigal Son (6th Update)

"Among the brothers of the current Great Emperor in the Daojiang Country, the best relationship is with my grandfather. If I die, the army led by my grandfather won't be merely the one he controls within the territory."
"You all will have no escape. Let me go quickly, and you can still preserve your lives."
At this point, the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's Young Prince gradually calmed down and stared at Lin Qian, saying, "I must say, your talent and the abilities under your command are truly astonishing; your future achievements are limitless."
"If you waste your life and future due to impulsiveness, I feel it's a pity for you." As the Young Prince spoke, he became increasingly calm, expelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
"Oh?" Lin Qian looked at the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's Young Prince, appearing somewhat surprised, and signaled Zhao Long to release him.
Freed from restraints, the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's Young Prince stood up, and the wound pierced by a long spear on his chest began healing under the effect of his Soul Artifact Treasure Clothes.
At this moment, Lin Qian looked at him with interest: "Given the situation, if we were to join you, could you really spare your enemies? It's likely that by the time you return, we'd already be dead."
The Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's Young Prince took a deep breath and spoke again with his restored arrogance: "Previously, before making a move, I indeed underestimated you. But the current outcome proves that I was wrong at the start."
"Talents like you, whether as past enemies or now, would bring enormous benefits if used by me." The Young Prince looked at Lin Qian, still with a threatening tone in his voice, "Killing me now might bring temporary satisfaction, but you will still face your demise later."
"I urge you to surrender to me and live, and your future achievements might far exceed your imagination. You're surely aware of what an Overlord Level force means in Beixuan Heaven?"
"Of course I know what an Overlord Level force means." Lin Qian looked at the Young Prince in front of him and laughed twice, "Recently, an Overlord Level force happened to merge into my Empire. And another Overlord Level force fled within just a year after the battle began."
At this point, Lin Qian moved closer and stared at the Young Prince in front of him: "Thus, I know better than you, this so-called Young Prince, what an Overlord Level force truly means."
"However, what surprises me is that someone like you thinks about surrendering me to you. It seems the younger generation of Beixuan Heaven's Overlord Level forces is not utterly incompetent." Lin Qian clicked his tongue, speaking in praise, with admiration shown in his eyes.
But Lin Qian's words stirred up such turmoil in the Young Prince's heart, staring at the man in front of him.
"Impossible, you're lying. This can't be something I wouldn't know. If such an occurrence happened, a force like that appearing out of nowhere, Beixuan Heaven would have been thrown into chaos..." As he spoke, the Young Prince suddenly realized, looking at Lin Qian with disbelief, "Are you saying you're not from Beixuan Heaven."
"I come from Southern Dou Heaven, and you should be quite familiar with Southern Dou Heaven, shouldn't you?" Lin Qian looked at the Young Prince, his hands behind his back, "When Wei Ziliang sees me, he calls me 'Your Majesty' publicly and 'Young Master' privately."
Saying this, Lin Qian's expression suddenly turned cold: "Do you still think I need to surrender to you, begging for my life?"
The Young Prince's mind was roaring like thunder, almost exploding.
Wei Ziliang's name resounded loudly in Beixuan Heaven, a nightmare to the ten Overlord Level forces, like an unshakeable nightmare.
His grandson rampaged in Beixuan Heaven, slaughtering the talented heirs of the ten Overlord Level forces like pigs and dogs.
And when Wei Ziliang personally descended upon Beixuan Heaven, he single-handedly drove the peak experts of the ten Overlord Level forces running chaotically.
A figure like this, regarded as a scourge in Beixuan Heaven, actually had to humble himself before this young Human Clan member. What on earth is this person's background?
"Moreover, your intention of surrendering was merely a means to save your life, wasn't it? You would kill us later, right?" Suddenly, Lin Qian spoke again, chatting leisurely, "If your mind and heart were truly that good, wouldn't you doubt why the Human Clan in the Territory of Overlord Blood Clan suddenly had the power to make them cry out in despair?"
The Young Prince, with a face like a dead gray, had a trace of despair rising in his eyes.
He knew he was doomed; the Human Clan in front of him was no ordinary figure to be toyed with, but a wild beast in human skin.
His mind was chaotic; what was such a terrifying figure here in Beixuan Heaven for?
"Your Majesty, how should this scoundrel be dealt with?" Following this, Zhao Long clasped his fist and sought Lin Qian's command, "I implore Your Majesty to hand over this person to me; his disrespect should be met with a lingering death."
"No rush to kill him, abolish his cultivation, and have the Medical Department people personally look after him, let him live well for now." Lin Qian gestured to Zhao Long not to hurry, then stared at the Young Prince before him, "His grandfather evidently cares for him deeply. If he knows his grandson is still alive and captured by us, what will he do?"
"He'll surely come to the rescue," Zhao Long replied.
Lin Qian nodded, looking at the Young Prince's changing expression, "If he dies, the Sixth Prince of Daojiang Country will likely go mad. But knowing he's alive and only angry, he won't lose reason; then we can lure him in, making it much easier to take out this Sixth Prince."
"Originally, I intended not to rush into a war in Beixuan Heaven, but given the circumstances, there's no choice now. First, let's start with Daojiang Country, and this Young Prince will be the perfect breakthrough point."
Lin Qian's remarks filled the Young Prince's heart with fear: "You're insane, outright mad. What exactly are you planning? You're from Southern Dou Heaven, two Heavenly Domains separated by such distances. You dare to start a war?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? The Huaxia Empire has never feared any war," Lin Qian looked at the Young Prince ahead coldly, "I'm honored to inform you that, all for your beloved concubine, you're about to send the Daojiang Country, painstakingly established by your ancestors, to its end."
"So, doesn't this make this Young Prince the first prodigal son in the countless realms?" Lin Qian said to the people around him, and Zhao Long and others burst into laughter.
Only the Young Prince, pale-faced, began to tremble uncontrollably.
