Chapter 629: Chapter 630: Arriving at the Western Continent

The specially-made Cloud Boat, carrying Lin Qian and Ye Xin, sped towards the direction of the Western Continent.

The Chaotic Star Sea had nothing particularly surprising. Everywhere it passed was a scene of slaughter, as if within this territory, there was nothing other than killing.

However, to Ye Xin, the varied styles of the different islands in the Chaotic Star Sea indeed had their own charm.

“If the Chaotic Star Sea is also taken and incorporated into the territory of the Empire, developing it into an island tourism spot could surely make a fortune,” Lin Qian mused while standing at the edge of the Cloud Boat, looking at the sparse islands below. “This could stimulate consumer spending among the citizens of the Empire and enrich their entertainment activities.”

“Merely visiting other places in the Southern Domain loses its novelty over time. The only somewhat interesting places are the underground world and the underwater world.”

Watching Lin Qian below, Ye Xin thought slowly, already considering how to develop the Chaotic Star Sea in the future.

As for whether the Chaotic Star Sea could be controlled, that was not something Lin Qian needed to consider.

Jokingly, was there any territory the Huaxia Empire couldn’t conquer?

Lin Qian and Ye Xin, who were not particularly interested in the Chaotic Star Sea, quickened their pace towards the Western Continent.

“Little Qian, do we need to hide our tracks when we enter the Western Continent?” As they drew closer to the Western Continent, Ye Xin quietly asked Lin Qian.

“No need. After entering the Western Continent, just follow the information provided by the Muling Clan and head to the underground world where they originally lived. We’ll find the relics where the Three Elders are hiding,” Lin Qian casually replied as he looked forward.

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Ye Xin couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “If that’s the case, won’t we be too ostentatious? After all, the Western Continent is inhabited by other races.”

“They don’t have the standing to make the Emperor and Empress of the Huaxia Empire shy and hide. If they dare to strike, we can just annihilate them. Can they even withstand us?” Lin Qian revealed a light smile to Ye Xin, “If possible, I’d even like to take the opportunity to secretly nibble away at some of the Western Continent’s territories.”

“Just because they harass us on the frontier, does it mean we can’t strike back?”

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Ye Xin helplessly spread her hands, “Actually, Little Qian is downright a battle maniac.”

“I can’t help it. I would like to be reasonable too, but unfortunately, this world relies more on power,” Lin Qian spoke with an innocent look in response to Ye Xin’s comment.

“Little Qian, look, is that land?” In the next instant, the land faintly emerged ahead, growing increasingly closer in the blink of an eye, and the vast expanse of land instantly appeared before Lin Qian and Ye Xin.

Judging solely by its external appearance, the land of the Western Continent was not significantly different from the Eastern Continent—only the growth of the Spirit Wood was somewhat different, yet it grew very similarly.

The rich Spiritual Energy rushed toward them. Compared to the Chaotic Star Sea, the air here was mixed with the fresh scent of soil.

After all, the Chaotic Star Sea was mostly sea, where the rich Spiritual Energy was found, with the rest lingering above the islands.

The specially-made Cloud Boat shot through the sky like an arrow toward the land of the Western Continent, and in the blink of an eye, they had already entered the heart of its land.

Following that, Lin Qian and Ye Xin leaped up from the Cloud Boat, and at the same time, while they soared in mid-air, the Cloud Boat also vanished, being taken into the Xuanhuan Star.

Lin Qian and Ye Xin fell from the sky at high speed, and just before hitting the ground, their figures abruptly halted, gently floating down to land.

At this moment, the two of them landed securely in a valley with a huge cave ahead, emanating intense spatial fluctuations.

The cave ahead was none other than the entrance to the underground world where the Muling Clan originally resided.

Compared to when Lin Qian had entered the Ancient Forest State, the spatial fluctuations coming from the gloomy cave were much more stable.

According to Mu Houde’s descriptions, caves like these leading to the underground world were plentiful in the Western Continent and led to different underground worlds.

In the Western Continent, the various races were divided into upper and lower classes. The Muling Clan, for instance, belonged to a lower class, qualified only to live in the underground world. Only upper-class races were afforded the privilege of living in the world above ground.

The race pursuing the Three Elders, known to Mu Houde as the Wind Swift Clan, was a peculiar race capable of manipulating harsh winds into sharp blades against their enemies.

Such a talent was extremely suitable for combat, their Soul Power was of the wind attribute, and their movements were swift and very agile.

The fierce winds they summoned could be used for defense as well as offense.

The Wind Swift Clan used to be the upper-class race that enslaved the Muling Clan. The Muling Clan was driven out of the underground world and left the Western Continent by the Wind Swift Clan, crossing the ocean to the Huaxia Empire of the Eastern Continent, guided by the Three Elders.

“Your Majesty, the Heavenly Art Department has located a Golden Dragon Communication Token. It’s motionless and preserved in excellent condition,” at the same time, Zhuge Ming’s report echoed in Lin Qian’s mind. “Your humble servant estimates that it is due to Your Majesty’s presence here that we are able to clearly sense the location of the Token.”

Zhuge Ming’s words made Lin Qian nod inwardly, now certain of one thing.

The function of the Xuanhuan Star Huaxia Empire hinged on two points: one’s own location and the coverage area of the Huaxia World Array and the movement of units within the Xuanhuan Star Huaxia Empire.

Without these two points, the effectiveness of the Xuanhuan Star Huaxia Empire’s powers would significantly weaken.

For instance, the Heavenly Art Department’s detection of the location of the Golden Dragon Communication Token, while in the Eastern Continent, could not be determined with precision, but with Lin Qian present, it could be accurately traced.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, the sound of slicing through the air emerged out of nowhere, and suddenly, figures appeared from all directions.

These people, with green hair, thin and emaciated bodies, pale skin, and blue patterns branded upon them, whistled with Soul Power, and faint sounds of wind could be heard within.

“Two more from the Human Clan, probably related to those other three,” the group of aliens instinctively knew belonged to the so-called Wind Swift Clan without Lin Qian and Ye Xin having to think too much.

The leader of this group of Wind Swift Clan waved at his people, pointing at Lin Qian and Ye Xin, “Just two weak humans. Capture them quickly, kill the man, keep the woman for questioning, and have a bit of fun as well.”

“Yes, boss,” the rest of the Wind Swift Clan nodded in agreement, casting an eye toward Ye Xin beside Lin Qian, their eyes narrowing slightly.
