The Peerless Emperor
Chapter 652 653: Shock at the Seaside

Hearing Lin Qian say this, Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian exchanged glances, each noticing the curiosity in the other's eyes.

"Why does it get better by the seaside? Has Lin Qian already arranged a fleet there?"

"Perhaps, the sea vessels of the Huaxia Empire, a single ship can accommodate fifty thousand people!" After leaving the underground world and journeying towards the seaside, Zhu Dingtian declared confidently to the Cui Bailin beside him.

"Don't joke, a ship holding fifty thousand is impossible; accommodating ten thousand would be the limit." Zhu Dingtian's words made Cui Bailin laugh and shake his head continuously, "Don't daydream in broad daylight; although the Huaxia Empire is powerful, the number of ships needed to relocate both our clans remains unknown."

"However, I guess it will be similar to the ironwood ships acquired by the Muling Clan; our clan members will probably have a rough time in the future." Looking toward the distance ahead, Cui Bailin turned to glance at the vast lineup of his clan members behind him, and couldn't help but sigh.

In response, Zhu Dingtian nodded solemnly, addressing Cui Bailin, "I'm not sure. Did you bring enough Concentration Grass? Many of our people might get seasick crossing such vast waters."

"In fact, what I'm worried about is how many of our people will be casualties when we cross the Chaotic Star Sea," spoke Cui Bailin, when suddenly Lin Qian's voice came from the front.

"You need not worry; not a single person from the Green Spirit Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan will be casualties. The Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire will protect every single one of you."

Lin Qian's words left the two clan leaders stunned.

Imperial Army?

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent gust stirred up ahead, leaving the bewildered Green Spirit Clan and Earth Spirit Clan watching intently, unsure of what was happening.

The next moment, a titanic tide of steel burst forth on the horizon. On closer inspection, it bristled with soldiers clad in heavy armor, each exuding a formidable pressure.

"This… this is!"Watching the army hurtling towards them, horror clouded Cui Bailin's face, his eyes filled with fear.

The soldiers ahead, their Soul Device armor sparkling under the sunlight with an intimidating, frosty radiance, all exuded the aura of the Life and Death Realm Peak, orderly and immaculate.

Moreover, the sheer number of the enemy left Cui Bailin shaken, at the very least hundreds of thousands.

What made his heart race even more were the hundred formidable beings leading the squadron, exuding an aura that struck him with fear.

Transcendence Realm Ninth Level!

These hundred terrifying beings in the Transcendence Realm Ninth Level, each leading a portion of the heavily armored soldiers, split up and darted toward various directions of their great troop.

"There is no need to be nervous; they are the Huaxia Empire's warriors and Imperial Army. Along the way, they will protect you from any harm, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask them," Lin Qian's voice suddenly rang out, as the Green Spirit Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan began to stir.

Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, both clans were stunned, with Cui Bailin and Zhu Dingtian left completely dumbfounded.

They had thought they were facing a terrifying enemy, only to realize that these were the Imperial Army that Lin Qian had spoken about?

"Protecting us…" Cui Bailin murmured, then rubbed his forehead, "If we are guarded by such a powerful army, crossing the Chaotic Star Sea, perhaps not a single clan member will indeed perish."

Zhu Dingtian, staring fixedly at the soldiers mingling and merging with his own clan members, muttered under his breath, "Now I understand why Mu Houde said that the Huaxia Empire is a comforting empire."

"Indeed, the journey ahead now feels truly reassuring."

After this incident, the Green Spirit Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan continued to head toward the seaside.

Along the way, both the Green Spirit and the Earth Spirit Clans initially feared the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire because of their well-equipped Soul Devices and their formidable, indifferent demeanor.

In their eyes, the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire seemed as powerful as the Wind Swift Clan's Soul Martial Artists, possibly prone to bullying them as well.

However, as they continued to interact during their journey, these doubts gradually dissipated.

Whenever elderly members of the Green Spirit or Earth Spirit Clans grew tired, the heavily armored soldiers would not hesitate to take off their heavy armor and carry the aging clan members on their backs.

If there were young children from the Green Spirit or Earth Spirit Clans who were exhausted, the soldiers would effortlessly lift them and let them sit on their shoulders.

Despite their still cold expressions, these gestures warmed the hearts of the Green Spirit and Earth Spirit Clans.

Previously, the Soul Martial Artists of the Wind Swift Clan treated them merely as tools, toiling all day without care even if they died from exhaustion.

If they failed to complete their assigned tasks, the people of an entire hamlet could be executed.

Among the people, Cuiyu kept looking at the tall female warrior beside her. The warrior was dressed in soft armor that accentuated her stunning and formidable figure.

"Hm?" The female warrior turned her head, having noticed that the young girl from the Green Spirit Clan had been staring at her, "What is it? Is there something on my face?"

"Ah, no, it's just that I think Sister is very cool." Seeing that the female warrior was walking towards her, Cuiyu quickly waved her hands.

Hearing Cuiyu's words, the female warrior laughed heartily, "Sweet talker, those guys only say that I'm tomboyish."

"That... Sister, are there many people like you in the Huaxia Empire that we are headed to?" Cuiyu asked hesitantly, curiously inquiring.

The female warrior nodded and ruffled Cuiyu's hair with her hand, "The Imperial Army? Of course, there are many people, more than you can imagine."

"So many!"

"Of course, if there weren't enough members in the Imperial Army, how would we protect you?" the female warrior said lightly, looking sincerely at Cuiyu, "I hope that His Majesty's rule of the Huaxia Empire will make your lives happy."

Following that, Cuiyu chattered endlessly with the warrior, realizing that she was nothing like those strong members of the Wind Swift Clan who always wore sour expressions, acting as if they were better than everyone else.

Also, those strong ones from the Wind Swift Clan treated them very badly, often hitting and scolding them or even slaughtering their people.

Moreover, due to the beauty of the women of the Green Spirit Clan, clan members were often harmed by the Wind Swift Clan, and resistance from their clan often led to even more deaths.

"We're finally leaving that terrible place," Cuiyu looked back, recalling the past ordeals her clan had endured, feeling very fortunate that the three elders from the Human Clan had come to their world, allowing the Muling Clan to reach the Empire beyond the sea.

This allowed His Majesty Lin to come to their world.

Once they reached the seaside, exclamations of astonishment echoed among the two clans, and Cuiyu, looking ahead, was also dumbstruck.
