The Peerless Emperor

Lin Qian's confident attitude should originally be a good thing for Kuang Luantian.

But this kind of demeanor seemed a bit overconfident, making Kuang Luantian feel uncertain inside, unsure if the other party truly had such a demeanor?

Or perhaps the bloodline restoration he spoke of was merely a fleeting spiritual medicine that stimulated potential?

This possibility had been intensely discussed within the clan before coming here.

Although every member of the Elder Council in the clan was very willing to believe that Lin Qian truly had a way to restore their bloodline defects, they still found it hard to believe.

After all, the issue troubling their clan had persisted for such an extensive time, and for a human to suddenly appear with a solution felt somewhat unreal to them.

In the past, many similar hopes appeared before their clan, but each time they were mere illusions.

The huge hopes shattered, leading to utter disappointment.

Many possibilities even required clan members to pay with their lives.

The worry in Kuang Luantian's eyes was also noticed by Lin Qian, who expressed his understanding of the other's thoughts.

Yet Lin Qian also did not understand why Kuang Luantian was worried and uneasy, given the positive example of Kuang Zhan.

After all, Lin Qian had not experienced the despair of the Fierce Hunting Clan.

Solving the bloodline defect had always been the goal pursued by the Fierce Hunting Clan, making them pay countless costs, leading many members to become numb to potential hope.

Hope always shattered, and future possibilities always failed.

Kuang Luantian pondered deeply, considering how to decide next, while on the other side Mu Yan noticed the situation and began discussing his own issues.

"Your Majesty Lin, you are surely aware of my intent, regarding the Heart of the Wood Realm…" Speaking of the Heart of the Wood Realm, Mu Yan appeared visibly tense.

Upon knowing that Lin Qian had a vast amount of the Heart of the Wood Realm, Mu Yan's first reaction was that his grandson was surely joking.

However, Mu Yan soon received communications from his grandson, who persistently claimed that Lin Qian indeed possessed a vast amount of the Heart of the Wood Realm, highly beneficial to the Wood Realm Clan.

Mu Yan trusted his grandson's character, believing he would not deceive him with such matters.

Finally, Mu Yan learned that Kuang Luantian was preparing to go to the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, curious to inquire why the other was heading there.

Others in the Sea Spiral Star Domain did not know that, in fact, the clan leader of the Wood Realm Clan, Mu Yan, and the clan leader of the Fierce Hunting Clan, Kuang Luantian, had life-and-death friendship.

Inside the Saint Institute, during a fixed assessment into a secret realm, the two supported each other, saving each other's lives multiple times.

However, their friendship was kept very secret, difficult for ordinary people to know.

When his friend inquired, Kuang Luantian naturally explained, preparing to visit the Sea Spiral Holy Institute to find Lin Qian, suspecting he might have a solution for their clan's bloodline defects.

Knowing that the other's target was also Lin Qian surprised Mu Yan.

The matter was too coincidental; Lin Qian probably had some means, and the two decided to join forces to investigate.

Upon hearing his old friend speak, Kuang Luantian lifted his head from deep thoughts, glanced at Mu Yan, then at Lin Qian.

Kuang Luantian understood very well the significance of the Heart of the Wood Realm to the Wood Realm Clan.

Seeing Mu Yan's nervous appearance, Lin Qian opened his palm, suddenly producing a handful of the Heart of the Wood Realm; the rich Wood Realm Power and Soul Device immediately permeated throughout the small courtyard.

When Lin Qian took out the Heart of the Wood Realm, Mu Yan's eyes almost bulged out, staring fixedly at the Heart in Lin Qian's palm.

Mu Yan clenched his hands tightly but did not move, making Lin Qian regard this Wood Realm Clan leader with one more degree of respect before putting away the Heart of the Wood Realm.

After the Heart of the Wood Realm disappeared, Mu Yan's expression dimmed, becoming gloomy.

At this moment, he felt as if something had been extracted from his heart.

Beside him, Kuang Luantian felt dizzy and dazed.

He had seen the appearance of the Heart of the Wood Realm, though never in person, but his old friend had once shaped it with soul energy for him to witness.

Especially familiar with Wood Realm Power, that hand's worth of the Heart of the Wood Realm was genuine, beyond doubt.

Seeing Lin Qian take out such a handful of the Heart of the Wood Realm, Kuang Luantian believed his claims possibly genuine, that hope for their clan's bloodline restoration was promising.

Mu Yan alternated between clenching and relaxing his hands, unable to calm down.

Such a handful of the Heart of the Wood Realm, placed in the Wood Realm Clan, would change their strength drastically, significantly accelerating the cultivation speed of clan members, increasing by two to three times at least.

It could be said that the hope for the rise of the Wood Realm Clan lies in Lin Qian's hands.

Kuang Luantian suddenly placed his hand on Mu Yan's shoulder, and the latter gradually calmed down.

After a deep breath, Mu Yan looked at Lin Qian: "I wonder what the cost is for our clan to possess the Heart of the Wood Realm, Your Majesty Lin?"

"Same as the Fierce Hunting Clan," Mu Yan spoke, and Lin Qian replied without hesitation.

Lin Qian had issued a gag order; the two clan leaders before him did not know how terrifying the bloodline of the Fierce Battle Clan was. Nor that he possessed cultivation techniques to embed the Heart of the Wood Realm into the heart.

They did not know how terrifying the Berserk method of the Fierce Battle Clan was.

Nor did they know the amount of the Heart of the Wood Realm in Lin Qian's hands exceeded their imaginations.

"Your Majesty Lin, what exactly should we do?" Kuang Luantian pondered for a moment before asking.

Mu Yan also looked at Lin Qian, awaiting his answer.

Upon the question, Lin Qian immediately answered, apparently already having the plan: "Very simple, you must first swear a heart demon oath, promising to lead your people to join the Huaxia Empire entirely. Then, allow my men to return to your clans and let your clan members swear the oath, fully joining the Empire, and then I will give you what you desire."

Kuang Luantian's face turned slightly disagreeable as he looked at Lin Qian: "Your Majesty Lin jests. If we do this first, and you don't give us what we want, whom can we turn to?

"We have come sincerely; don't let us down, Your Majesty Lin," Mu Yan followed, sounding somewhat displeased.

Lin Qian knew his words were a bit too much, but fortunately, he had prepared: "My master will guarantee it; you needn't worry."

"Your Majesty Lin, having the guarantor be your master might be unjust, don't you think?"

"After all, they're your own people; what if they show favoritism?"

Kuang Luantian and Mu Yan sounded somewhat unhappy.

"Though I am my disciple's guarantor, with my status, you both can rest assured."
