The Peerless Emperor

Just from the attitude of Lin Qian and others, they knew that there's probably no room for negotiation anymore.

The resources within the territory of Overlord Hall are likely to be completely taken by them.

What a miscalculation!

Sheng Li and other people from Overlord Hall looked at the situation below with displeased faces. Originally, they thought the Saint Institute battle would definitely not be a defeat. How could they have expected to lose so miserably this time?

It's all because they underestimated the enemy. At this moment, Sheng Li and others were filled with regret.

If only they had used their sacred pattern fusion and fought with all their strength from the beginning, none of this would have happened, and they probably wouldn't have lost.

As a result, they underestimated the enemy and gave the opponent the chance to counterattack and completely suppress them.

However, they didn't realize that the reason for their miserable defeat was actually the disparity in strength.

Lin Qian unleashed sixty-eight enhanced soul skills, and even the commanders of the Six Great Armies and peak battle power figures like Lv Bu and Prime Minister Zhuge Ming only used ordinary methods. If they had fought with full force, they might have been defeated instantly.

As for why Lin Qian wanted everyone to stay, it was for preserving the trump card, creating a vague illusion for others.

The current Huaxia Alliance is strongest with this stance.

Showing all their cards early is a grave mistake.

"Your Majesty, may I handle the matter of my elder brother's place?" After entering the territory of Overlord Hall, Liu Shimin stepped forward to seek Lin Qian's opinion.

At this moment, he did not dare to act autonomously and use anything on his own.

After all, in this Saint Institute battle, it was entirely Lin Qian and his ministers who took action, and they themselves had not contributed at all.

With just a glance at Liu Shimin, Lin Qian knew what the other was thinking.

There's always been conflict between the other and his elder brother, with even a bit of entanglement before the fixed assessment.

Liu Shimin probably wanted to get something from Liu Jianqing to show off.

How could he deny his followers such an opportunity to shine?

"Go on, handle those things as you wish, as long as you're happy." Lin Qian spoke lightly with a smile.

Liu Shimin showed a cheerful expression, and left with an air of triumph. Clearly, he was eager to take Liu Jianqing's belongings to show off.

After entering the territory of Overlord Hall, Lin Qian instructed everyone to spread out and collect everything together to see what was there.

The territory of Overlord Hall wasn't large, and everyone sorted through everything very quickly, gathering it in front of Lin Qian in the blink of an eye.

After everyone reported, Lin Qian fully understood the value of the items left in the territory of Overlord Hall.

After all, Overlord Hall had been within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute for hundreds of years, accumulating far more wealth than Lin Qian and others had obtained during their trial when entering the institute.

Indeed, resources used within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute could only be obtained from there.

But even if these resources were taken back to their own forces, they would still be exceptionally rich.

Overlord Hall, being a strong force in the outer institute, had resources that couldn't be compared to those of the emerging Huaxia Alliance.

When the many students of the Huaxia Alliance returned to report, their expressions were extremely excited because the immense resources were enough for them to indulge for a long time.

They needed these resources even more to consolidate their realm as they had just broken through to the World Realm.

In addition to these resources, there were two medicine gardens for planting spiritual medicine within the territory of Overlord Hall, which were invaluable.

"If all the spiritual medicine in these gardens is used to refine pills, it would be enough for all of us to consume and advance to the Second Level of the World Realm." After estimating the value of the gardens, Lan Yunfeng looked at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian nodded secretly, then said, "If these spiritual medicines are refined into pills, it would be too wasteful. Instead, refining them into potions will not only allow you to reach the Second Level of the World Realm but also increase your battle power significantly."

Everyone was steadfast in believing Lin Qian's words, having fully experienced the marvelous effects of the potions.

During cultivation, Lin Qian offered not only potions but also custom-made pills to be taken alongside, as well as a medicinal bath to temper the physique.

Following Lin Qian, there were countless benefits.

They could clearly feel their paths widening and the limits continually rising in the future.

The longer they stayed by Lin Qian's side, the more they felt that following him was incredibly correct.

Speaking of Sheng Li, seeing Sheng Da's expression was astounding.

"After tallying, all items will be handed to me, personally allocated. You don't have any objections, do you?" Lin Qian said with a stern face as he scanned the crowd.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Qian's move was to intimidate everyone into avoiding any improper thoughts, using the emperor's pressure to restrain their minds and prevent them from harboring wild ideas.

Formally, he refers to himself as "I," a title befitting an emperor, with appropriate dignity.

Privately, there's no need for formality; being relaxed is fine.

"Then, it's time for us to relax and celebrate." Following this, Lin Qian gave the crowd a nod, speaking with a smile.

Everyone, understanding Lin Qian's tone, knew it was time to relax and cheered in celebration.

After gathering all the resources from Overlord Hall's territory, Lin Qian transplanted the medicine gardens into Xuanhuan Star.

These resources would be used to elevate the power of the entire Huaxia Alliance.

The entire Huaxia Alliance membership had become Lin Qian's followers, all his strength; spending the resources on them was justified.

From his previous life playing games, Lin Qian deeply knew one truth.

Resources could be accumulated to guard against unforeseen events; however, when the need arises, one should not be stingy and spend where necessary.

Rich resources, countless heavenly materials, and earthly treasures could not be used up by Lin Qian alone.

These things could be entirely spent on those around him, on his followers, to enhance their strength.

True strength is not just him standing alone at the peak.

It's when everyone becomes extraordinarily strong, accompanying him to rule the nine heavens; this is the real strength.

This is why Lin Qian cultivates the Huaxia Alliance. They are his people, their strength leads to his greater strength.

Moreover, fighting for the sacred mission requires their strength.

After the celebration, another message came from the outer institute, astonishing everyone, while enraging the Overlord Hall members to the extreme.

Because the Huaxia Alliance announced their dissatisfaction with Overlord Hall's territory being too small, unlivable, deciding to sell it, with the highest bidder winning.

Many outer institute students were in an uproar; this behavior was akin to knocking Overlord Hall to the ground and then stomping on them twice.
