Chapter 607: Chapter 608: Preparing to Return

The mysterious old man was somewhat unable to understand the current situation. Clearly, when those three mentioned it, the Huaxia Empire was the power of the Human Clan, and the Emperor of the Empire was a young Emperor, a person above both the Sovereign and the Emperor.

Yet here in front of him were members of the Sea Clan, from various different races, and from their words, it seemed like these Sea Clan members were people of the Huaxia Empire.

The power of the Human Clan also had people from the Sea Clan?

“Father, could we have come to the wrong place? Is there also a Huaxia Empire among the Sea Clan?” The middle-aged foreigner was also completely confused by the situation at hand and unable to gather his thoughts. “Or did those three people actually deceive us?”

The foreign elder slowly shook his head, signaling his son not to hurry, and took a step forward on the deck of the ship: “I am Mu Houde, Clan Leader of the Muling Clan. Our Muling tribe has suffered a catastrophe and has been expelled by the western continent. We once saved three members of the Human Clan, and thus, they guided us here to seek refuge in the Huaxia Empire, hoping to find a piece of land for survival.”

“This object is the token they gave us.” As he spoke, the foreign elder threw an object towards Zhang Zide’s direction.

After hearing the other party’s words, Zhang Zide caught the object and found that it was a broken golden token, covered with cracked patterns, and branded with the Huaxia characters.

“This token…” Seeing the token, Zhang Zide’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly took out an item from his grasp, which was also a golden token.

This token was personally given to him by Lin Qian, which could be used to contact him directly.

After all, in the eyes of others, Zhang Zide was able to call Lin Qian his brother, someone deeply trusted and regarded.

Zhang Zide remained silent, causing Mu Houde to feel extremely anxious. He looked back at his people and could clearly see panic and confusion in their eyes.

Obviously, they were at a loss amidst this situation, especially the massive Sea Clan army riding the giant waves, which also brought them a great deal of pressure.

“You all wait here, I have already reported the situation here to the Emperor. Remember, do not take another step forward or blame me for not warning you.” As he spoke, the army of Zhang Zide, standing on the waves beneath their feet, slowly faded as they stood on the surface of the sea as if on solid ground.

However, at this moment, after the waves had dissipated, soul cannons with a metallic luster emerged from beneath the waters, Soul Power maintaining a charged state, aiming at the Muling Clan before them.

“Make a rash move, and you’ll be directly blasted into bits.” Zhang Zide’s words sent chills down Mu Houde’s back.

Just by looking, he could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within each of those soul cannons.

Although he didn’t understand what a soul cannon was, he believed that if Zhang Zide said so, it definitely wasn’t something easy to handle.

“We will wait, General, please do not be angered,” Mu Houde said, hastily bowing to Zhang Zide and leading his son away from the front of the ship.

“Grandfather, have we found our new home?” Just then, a young Muling Clan child with pale green skin ran up to Mu Houde and asked expectantly, “The ships have stopped, does that mean we’ve arrived at our new home, and that no one will die anymore?”

Mu Houde looked down at the small child with a sorrowful expression on his face. Regardless of whether this Sea Clan’s Huaxia Empire was the same Huaxia Empire mentioned by those three people, just from the other party’s aggressive stance, he already knew that his tribe’s days of living under the protection of the Huaxia Empire would not be easy.

“We haven’t arrived yet. Blame your grandfather for being useless, suffering from a severe injury, and unable to use my cultivation,” Mu Houde said, squatting in shame and stroking the child’s head, “But remember what your grandfather says, no matter what kind of life we face in the future, we must live on with strength.”

“Grandfather, don’t worry, I will,” the Muling Clan child said seriously, nodding his head to show he clearly remembered Mu Houde’s words.

Meanwhile, far in the Central Domain, Lin Qian was still discussing with Zhuge Ming when suddenly his pupils turned to gold.

He called up the system framework, the place to receive messages. Those who were once close to him could directly contact him via the special tokens he had given.

For example, Lei Qian, Gao Benli, or Fang Ziqian and Zhang Zide.

“A message from Brother Zhang, probably saying he’s found some treasure again, huh?” Seeing who the message was from, Lin Qian revealed a smiling expression and opened it.

“Your Majesty…”

The first address in the message made Lin Qian’s relaxed demeanor fade away. Privately, he would still call Zhang Zide his brother, after all, he was the Renhuang Martial Emperor, not a cruel and ruthless person.

However, in official matters, Lin Qian and Zhang Zide were emperor and subject.

Since Zhang Zide addressed him as Emperor, the message was not a casual conversation between brothers but important official business. Otherwise, he would not have sent the message personally.

“Your Majesty, your humble servant Zhang Zide intercepts a fleet of 2,624 sea ships at the maritime border, carrying a foreign tribe called the Muling Clan, numbering ten million people.”

“This Clan Leader of the Muling Clan, named Mu Houde, passed on a token to me, which is the exact same as the Huaxia Golden Dragon Communication Token, only it’s already broken and shattered.”

“The matter is of great importance, and your humble servant dares not make a hasty decision, so I have reported it immediately.”

At the end of the message, there was an image showing the shattered token.

Seeing this broken token, Lin Qian’s face showed alarm, and his heart already had a suspicion: “Could it be…”

“General Zhang, maintain the status quo, I am coming back right away!” After sending back his message, Lin Qian hurried to find his maternal grandfather and grandmother.

“What, you’re saying Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yi’an, Yang Guixiang, those three?” Hearing Yun Fan’s words, Yun Fan immediately couldn’t sit still, stood up, and rushed over to Lin Qian, asking in disbelief.

Indeed, the whereabouts of his three old comrades had always been a thorn in Yun Fan’s side.

Now that Lin Qian told him there might be news of them, how could he not be overjoyed?

“But this will probably require a trip back to the Southern Domain. My grandson believes that this place is still a wasteland. It would be better if you go with my grandson back to the Southern Domain first, and it won’t be too late to return after these one hundred and ninety states have been rebuilt.”

Lin Qian’s words made Yun Fan ponder for a moment. After exchanging a glance with Yun Rong, they understood each other’s intentions.

“Alright, we will go to the Southern Domain with Qian’er and take this opportunity to see for ourselves what the Huaxia Empire has become.”

“The Huaxia Empire changes every year, and although it is still being perfected, once you arrive in the Southern Domain, grandfather, you will face a new world.” Seeing his grandfather nod, Lin Qian said with a smile.
