The Peerless Emperor

Lin Qian's sudden disappearance caused great tension among the crowd, and when he reappeared, their minds were at ease, but they were equally surprised.

They were all curious about what had just happened and why Lin Qian had disappeared so abruptly.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Kuang Zhan asked worriedly upon seeing Lin Qian return.

Regarding Kuang Zhan's question, Lin Qian waved his hand lightly, "Don't worry, it was something unrelated to the trials. I have made a vow of soul demon, and cannot speak of it."

In the large city, Ye Xin, who looked natural, also showed a look of surprise.

Because she had received a soul consciousness transmission and was the second person to know about this matter, she had also taken a vow of soul demon and couldn't disclose the incident to others.

Such an inconceivable event was beyond both her and Lin Qian's expectations, something they had never considered.

"Don't worry, let's proceed with the original plan and start." After collecting himself, Lin Qian stood up and addressed everyone.

Following him, everyone else rose to their feet as well.

What they lacked now was time, and they needed to use every moment sparingly.

After leaving the large city, many people flew in all directions; they were the ones chosen to defend the cities.

The remaining people scattered across the land, heading in the direction of the discussions to capture cities and expand the territory held by the Huaxia Alliance.

Those assigned to kill soul soldiers and Soul Beasts temporarily appeared together with those capturing cities, pooling their strength to eliminate the soul soldiers and Soul Beasts along the way.

When they encountered cities, they would disperse; those assigned to kill Soul Beasts and soul soldiers would continue on their own appointed tasks.

As for those determined to assault cities and expand the Huaxia Alliance's territory, they all began their swift paths of siege.

However, their sieging process went very smoothly. The huge crowd was indeed an impressive force, and the Trialists defending the cities often grew fearful upon seeing their numbers, losing the will to fight.

Just as the Huaxia Alliance was vigorously capturing and expanding their control over cities and territory, on the other side, Yan Jiu and Lei Jun had also returned to the large city held by the Overlord Alliance and had come back to the Council Hall.

Inside the Council Hall, the disheveled appearances of Yan Jiu and Lei Jun greatly alarmed everyone.

Sheng Da looked at the two of them in disbelief: "What happened to you two? Why such a panic, and...where are your people?"

On the other side, Qi Kong of the Strange Soul Clan, shrouded in thick fog formed by condensed soul energy, speculated, "Don't tell me you've lost, and all the others were left behind?"

"We, to be precise, fled back here," sighed Yan Jiu, speaking helplessly.

With Yan Jiu's revelation, the whole room was shocked, staring at him in disbelief. The Bursting Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan from their Overlord Alliance, both formidable, should have been able to handle an opponent of great strength.

Even if the opponent was much tougher than they had anticipated, they ought to have fought a few rounds before retreating unwillingly, right?

But Yan Jiu had just said they fled!

Yan Jiu, saying so, clearly meant that it wasn't a retreat after a confrontation, but rather a direct escape without any engagement.

Could it be that the power of the Human Clan was so formidable that it forced Yan Jiu and Lei Jun to turn and flee?

"It doesn't make sense, why would you just run away?" Unable to comprehend after hearing their story, Sheng Da shook his head and asked, "What exactly happened? There must be some reason, or else you wouldn't have done this."

Lei Jun shook his head irritably, "That Human Clan member called Lin Qian, I don't know what methods he used but somehow gathered hundreds of Trialists. They were just too many, engaging them would have meant immediate death by mobbing!"

Following that, Lei Jun carefully described the situation as it had happened.

After his account, the expressions of everyone from the Overlord Alliance within the Council Hall darkened drastically.

Especially Sheng Da, who clearly understood what this meant.

"What exactly does this Human Clan want to do?" After pondering for a moment, Sheng Da took in a sharp breath.

On the other side, a member of the Human Clan from the Huaqiong Empire wore a grave expression: "Clearly, this Lin Qian has employed some methods to join other Trialists to his side, forming an alliance like our Overlord Alliance."

"However, their philosophy is different from ours. They don't seek an elite alliance but the more people, the better. I estimate they've already increased their numbers significantly. If left unchecked, they will continue to grow, eventually becoming so large that we of the Overlord Alliance will not be able to contend with them."

As soon as he spoke, Sheng Da slammed the table in front of him, causing a thunderous noise, "This Human Clan member called Lin Qian, does he have no pride as a powerhouse? To mix with a group of lowly weaklings is simply shameless and disgraceful."

"How could such a person be in this trial, also seeking to enter the Sea Spiral Holy Institute?"

With that, Sheng Da abruptly stood up, his tone icy: "In that case, everyone from the Overlord Alliance, take action. Expel Lin Qian and his entire Huaxia Alliance from the Trial Land, ensuring they have no chance with the Sea Spiral Holy Institute!"

The ninth-ranked Wood Realm Clan member, Mu Huai, appeared puzzled and asked Sheng Da, "Full mobilization, Sheng Da, are you sure?"

"The situation in front of us leaves us no other choice," said Zhu Shimin, the only Human Clan prince from the Huaqiong Empire, speaking slowly and solemnly, "If we let them continue at this pace, their growth will be rapid. If we don't eradicate them now with a thunderous approach, we won't have a chance later."

"Waiting any further will only lead us by the nose and result in our complete defeat. A threat must be nipped in the bud before it grows."

"Hasn't our Overlord Alliance always been doing just this?"

Zhu Shimin's logical argument had the crowd nodding in agreement; indeed, it was so!

Following this, the gathered members with their soul energy surging, left the Council Hall, beginning to summon all members of the Overlord Alliance.

As it was the Overlord Alliance, their efficiency was very high, and in just a moment, they had successfully gathered everyone.

"Let's go, and completely erase Lin Qian and his Huaxia Alliance," said Sheng Da from the front, his face clouded with anger, "There can only be one alliance in this Trial Land."
