Chapter 608: Chapter 609: The Only One

Nineteen provinces remained home to many of the Yun family’s old followers of Yun Fan, and a portion of them was willing to accompany Lin Qian to the Southern Domain to see it for themselves.

As the master of the Four Directions World, Lin Qian could directly transport everyone into the Four Directions World.

Covered only by Soul Power, he pulled the people directly into the Four Directions World, appearing within a city.

Among them, Lin Qian’s mother Yun Yunyan was also personally carrying Lin Di. When their vision was restored, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

In the very center of the city stood a colossal portal, meant for transport.

Surrounding the transport portal was an immense army stationed densely, donned in heavy armor. Varied troop types stood in formation, motionless.

They were impassive semi-living beings, unknowing of fatigue, dutifully following Lin Qian’s orders.

Once Lin Qian and the others appeared, they all knelt on one knee, creating a spectacular sight.

Within the city, Soul Cannons and destructive impact Soul Cannons were installed everywhere, imposing a severe guard that made the accompanying elders of the Yuan family feel a great pressure, involuntarily swallowing their saliva.

Lin Qian, leading at the forefront, with everyone following behind him, walked toward the direction of the portal.

“Once we pass through this portal, we will arrive at the transportation station outside New Qin City. Stick close and do not act rashly,” Lin Qian, standing in front of the portal, turned and solemnly instructed the dozens of people including his maternal grandfather.

“Because in the Huaxia Empire, unauthorized killing, robbery, theft, and the use of evil soul skills are strictly forbidden. If committed, one would be wanted by the Empire and apprehended by law enforcement from the police stations.”

“To prevent these criminals from escaping, the Huaxia Empire has a flight ban. Soul Martial Artists without a flight permit cannot fly at will. Also, to use the Empire’s transportation, one needs identity proof. So, follow my orders,” Lin Qian added, eyeing the Yun family elders with a serious expression.

Lin Qian’s words left the people before him exchanging glances; the Huaxia Empire doesn’t allow Soul Martial Artists to fly at will? This rule seemed quite unusual, and what exactly were these referred to transportation?

“Listen well, all orders from Qianer must be followed, understand? Don’t try to pull rank on your elder,” Yun Fan also turned and sternly addressed the group of old followers.

Hearing Yun Fan’s words, the Yun family elders nodded seriously.

Afterward, everyone followed Lin Qian through the transport portal.

Bright white flashes flickered just as commonly seen when passing through a transport portal, without any difference.

As their vision returned to normal, upon clearly seeing the building they were in, they all widened their eyes, curiously surveying the surroundings.

The huge portal was situated inside a grand building with a very peculiar style. Although the skeleton of the building was still constructed from ironwood like ordinary palaces, it was covered with a translucent crystal, even revealing distant scenes through it, quite wondrous.

At that moment, an enchanting female voice echoed within the building.

“Dear travelers, the Soul Train from New Qin City station to Liubei City, numbered Jia Ding, is now checking tickets. Please head to entrance thirty-six Yi to have your tickets checked.”

“This way,” as the group was still somewhat bewildered, Lin Qian faced them, leading them around the portal and deeper into the vast building.

To them, this immense building seemed like a city unto itself, bustling with life and filled with people, and occasionally, they could even spot other races with red skin and two legs or those of short stature.

“Renhuang Martial Emperor!” Just then, a cry of surprise came from somewhere, resonating within the building.

The Lin Qian, who was walking with his grandfather and the others through corridor six, inwardly cursed at the unwelcome attention.

“Yes, the Soul Vision Machine once broadcasted His Majesty’s presence; that was His Majesty indeed!”

“Renhuang Martial Emperor, I can actually see Your Majesty with my own eyes.” A woman screamed and fainted, rolling her eyes back.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

In an instant, the surroundings erupted into chaos, with everyone becoming thoroughly frenzied, crowding in Lin Qian’s direction.

“My subjects, please calm yourselves!” Lin Qian sighed helplessly and coughed lightly, his voice containing Soul Power and spreading out.

Within Lin Qian’s voice seemed to carry a strange charm; the previously disorderly crowd instantly grew quiet.

“I am currently faced with an urgent matter and need to board the city-circle train to New Qin City, so please do not crowd over and cause accidents.”

“If His Majesty has said so, let’s not crowd over.”

“Who would have thought that His Majesty would also take the train, it appears we are not so different after all.”

Lin Qian’s words spurred lively discussions among the people, and those who were crowding over began to clear a path, retreating to either side, though they did not leave, instead watching intently from the side and waving to him.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Lin Qian continued forward with a smile, waving back to the people on either side.

“Your Majesty, I love you!”

“Renhuang Martial Emperor, unrivaled under the heavens, invincible and number one in the world!”

The crowds on both sides roared excitedly, flailing their arms, and some even fainted with joy after shaking hands with Lin Qian.

As for Yun Fan and the others, they stood petrified, trailing behind Lin Qian in bewilderment.

It wasn’t until they followed Lin Qian to a place labeled as a platform and boarded a strangely-shaped metal box that things quieted down.

Even so, they could still see through the crystal-clear windows a vast number of people waving and shouting excitedly.

A short while later, they noticed that the odd-shaped box began to move, with the surrounding scenery suddenly shifting backward, heading north.

“In about the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, we will reach New Qin City,” Lin Qian explained briefly as he sat in his seat. “That was the Southern Station Hub of New Qin City’s transportation network, where one can take the Soul Car, Soul Train, Soul Ship, and Cloud Boat to any location in the Southern Domain.”

At this moment, Lin Qian was sitting in the chief seat of the Soul Train, a privilege reserved for him alone.

The space was extremely spacious, capable of accommodating dozens of people despite having only one room.

“Qianer, those people just now…” After making Lin Di comfortable in the room’s bed, Yun Yunyan turned to Lin Qian and inquired, “They were too frenzied just now.”

“They are citizens of the Huaxia Empire, and they are my children too. Given my identity, it is quite normal for them to have such a reaction.” Lin Qian replied with a troubled shake of his head, “Being so charismatic as the master of the Empire is a headache in itself.”

“Upon reaching New Qin City, everyone should first apply for Huaxia Empire identity documentation. Only in this way can you travel independently without a guide and board transportation. Moreover, flight permits are needed to soar within the Huaxia Empire.”

“Since you lack all credentials, I can only bring you to New Qin City by train. Having established such rules, I, as the Emperor, can’t show favoritism; otherwise, the laws of Huaxia would be nothing but a joke.”

“In this Empire, I am the only one who can have special privileges.”
