Chapter 443: Chapter 444: Fortunately, Not Disgraced
The parents of the Four Clans were examining their children’s corpses, with tears in their eyes.
And on the ground among them, there was a pile of rotten flesh and an empty Crystal Bottle. One could only imagine the suffering Shen Yi had endured at the hands of these parents before his death.
“Taking this Pill will allow his limbs to regenerate.” Coming to Little Jiang’s parents, Lin Qian passed them a jade bottle, which was a remaining artifact obtained from the ruins and modified by the Heavenly Art Department. The Potion was too potent for Little Jiang, so the Pill was more suitable.
Faced with Little Jiang’s family’s gratitude, Lin Qian waved his hand to indicate they needn’t be overly ceremonious.
He was also curious to see the effects of the Pill after being modified by the Heavenly Art Department.
The Potion originally belonged to the Huaxia Empire. It was potent and effective with strong specificity.
The Pill was a thing of this world, its medicinal power gentle and prolonged, very versatile in use. Its only flaw was that the power could easily go to waste; it required one’s own strength to assimilate the medicinal power.
Whether it was Potion or Pill, each had its own advantages. In the nationwide evolution, the usage of Spirit Transformation Evolutionary Agents by Soul Martial Artists was something Zhuge Ming and Huasheng had already begun to discuss, whether to follow the route of using Pills, which might be better than using agents.
This phenomenon was also something Lin Qian was pleased to see; only when the Huaxia Empire was all-encompassing and developed in multiple directions would it have an even better future.
The people of the Four Clans who had cleaned up their children’s bodies slowly stood up, ready to return to the gathering place, but they noticed that Lin Qian was still standing there, motionless.
“Lord, aren’t you coming back with us?” Little Jiang, who was held by his father, asked Lin Qian curiously. Knowing that his limbs could be restored, his mood had clearly improved a lot.
Lin Qian glanced at Little Jiang and replied, “In the distance, there’s a large army from Black Corner Country. After I have eradicated them, I’ll return to the gathering place. You should all head back first.”
While speaking, Lin Qian suddenly thought of something and produced a metal detection plaque, which he then placed on Little Jiang’s back, instructing Little Jiang’s father, “After taking the Pill, the growth of flesh and bone will be incredibly painful. Stuff something in his mouth to prevent biting through his tongue.”
After hearing Lin Qian’s instructions, Little Jiang’s father nodded solemnly to show he understood.
But Little Jiang was still confused, like a curious baby, “Lord, how will you deal with the large army of Black Corner Country all by yourself? Do you want our help?”
“A thirty-thousand-man team of the Sky Breaking Realm Fifth Level is hardly a threat. You just go back to the gathering place; there is no need to worry about this place.” Hearing Little Jiang offer his help, Lin Qian found it quite amusing, urging him to head back quickly.
“Oh, then, Lord, please be careful,” Little Jiang said, tilting his head towards Lin Qian, signaling him to be sure to stay safe.
Lin Qian waved to the people of the Four Clans, and the nearly six hundred-strong crowd then returned to the gathering place, bringing back only about a hundred of the more than three hundred children who had come.
Watching the procession of the Four Clans, laden with sorrow on their return journey, Lin Qian’s gaze grew colder as he turned to look ahead.
The Reconnaissance Beast had made it clear to Lin Qian that a thirty-thousand-strong Black Corner Clan army was gathered a hundred miles ahead, their overall Realm below the Sky Breaking Realm Fifth Level. The Soul Device armors they were equipped with were much more exquisite than those of the Qin Dynasty.
This showed that the overall strength of the Black Corner Country was much stronger than that of the Qin Dynasty, especially since the Qin Dynasty didn’t have the Dwarf Clan to forge Soul Devices for them.
Here, Lin Qian also saw how the different races lived harmoniously together in a capital, each performing their duties, utilizing their unique skills.
In the future, the Fire Department of the Huaxia Empire’s Territory could entirely recruit the Dwarf Clan to become part of it, enhancing the overall forging level of the Empire.
Of course, what Lin Qian needed was for the Dwarf Clan to pledge their allegiance willingly and serve the Empire wholeheartedly; this was the vision he desired to see fulfilled.
In the ancient Spirit Wood forest, a continuous chatter arose as fifty members of the Qiang Yu approached Lin Qian and knelt on one knee.
Lin Qian waved his hand toward the front, “Annihilate them, spare not one.”
“Yes!” the Qiang Yu respectfully answered Lin Qian, then stood up in a single line and raised their giant bows.
The attack-ready Qiang Yu stepped forward, eyes as sharp as eagles’, their forceful Soul Power converging upon the giant bows. Enormous Soul Power arrows, thick as an arm, continuously formed on the bowstrings, aiming straight ahead.
The thirty-thousand-strong army of the Black Corner Clan, miles away, had no idea that their prince had already been reduced to pulp, and they too had been targeted.
Lin Qian, staring ahead, suddenly ordered; the Qiang Yu released their bowstrings, shooting forth the arrows with tyrannical force and disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
As Lin Qian looked on, the view in front of him expanded with the travel of the giant Soul Power arrows; anything blocking the sight ahead was shattered to bits by the spiraling arrows.
Hundreds of miles away from Lin Qian’s location, the thirty-thousand-strong army of the Black Corner Clan was resting and on standby.
However, within this troop, luxurious atrocities were evident, with captured women from the Human Clan, the Red Horn Clan, the Spirit Hoof Clan, and the Dwarf Clan being used for their amusement.
Before arriving at Lin Qian’s gathering spot, Shen Yi had already led this troop to wipe out another gathering area, slaughtering everyone, leaving only these women for their pleasure.
Yet, these women from the Four Clans had been tortured beyond human recognition, many to death by the cruel Black Corner Clan.
“Hahaha, the Human Clan women are still the most tender,” remarked a member of the Black Corner Clan, emerging from a tent and grinning at his comrades outside.
However, after he spoke, he received no response. Instead, he noticed his brothers staring into the distance.
“What are you looking at?” Puzzled, he too followed his brothers’ gaze into the distance.
At that moment, he clearly saw a gleam of light far off, continuously growing, unaware of what it was but feeling an increasing sense of oppressive force.
However, in the next instant, although unable to see clearly what it was, they could see the path it traveled, as the Spirit Wood branches and leaves were torn to shreds, any passing Soul Beast instantly pulverized.
Terrified out of their wits, the two turned to run, but the speed of the arrows shot by the Qiang Yu was so fast that by the time they saw them, their fate was already sealed.
The giant Soul Power arrows fired by the Qiang Yu instantly deprived the two of their lives, blasting them into pieces.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The giant Soul Power arrows of the Qiang Yu were nothing the Sky Breaking Realm members of the Black Corner Clan could withstand. Within the blink of an eye, the group hadn’t even had time to react before being minced by the Soul Power arrows.
The forcibly captured women of the Four Clans, inevitably struck, found in their deaths a form of liberation.
In front of Lin Qian, the Qiang Yu turned and knelt to report, “Your Majesty, the mission is accomplished without dishonor!”
