Chapter 660: Chapter 661 Revenge and Hatred

Seven days had passed since Lin Qian learned that the Jiang family, leading the coalition of forces from the eight directions, had mobilized.

During these seven days, the Yuan family had been attacked, but the territories controlled by the Huaxia Empire in the Central Domain had not yet been touched because the Jiang family and Yuanling Commerce were held back by Lingtian and his subordinate forces, resulting in a stalemate.

Lingtian, having once been the head of Yuanling Commerce, although now separated from it, still possessed formidable strength.

He was extraordinarily angry that Yuanling Commerce had participated in the actions against the Yuan family.

The existence of the Communication Array allowed for swift message transmission within the Human Clan’s territories.

In the territory of the Huaxia Empire, as evening approached, the Huaxia people all looked up at the Soul Vision Machine in the sky, displaying one scene after another.

Cities were erased, cries and screams continuously emitted from the screen, alien races slaughtering, looting, while the Human Clan died brutally at their hands.

However, in the next moment, the screen changed to a completely different content, showing various alien races slaughtering each other, where one side was the attacker and the other the defender.

The situation of the defending alien races was clearly more tragic. Seeing the defenses of these alien races’ cities being breached, their males tortured and their females dragged into houses tightened many viewers’ hearts.

“The front-line Imperial Army units, Swift Wind and Night Shadow, have sent back images. The Soul Martial Continent is engulfed in war, whether it is the Eastern Continent’s Human Clan being slaughtered by aliens or the Western Continent’s war-opposing races being butchered by ruthless races, it makes us clearly realize that this kind of war is unjust and extremely brutal.”

“Our hearts ache for our fellow Human Clan, but also for the innocent alien races of the Western Continent who, due to those ruthless aliens’ desire for war, have their homes destroyed and lives lost.”

On the screen of the Soul Vision Machine, Hu Wen, a well-known female broadcaster for the Huaxia people, said this with tears streaming down her face, a look of sorrow appearing.

Concurrently, the male broadcaster, Li Kui with a solemn expression said, “Front-line war report, aside from our country’s Southern Domain remaining untouched, the Eastern and Western Domains have suffered attacks from alien armies crossing the seas. The Eastern Domain has already lost thirty-seven states, while the Western Domain has lost twenty-five states.”

“Thanks to our Soul Cannons, the Destructive Impact Soul Cannons supporting, and the covert stationing of the Imperial Army, the Northern Domain has not lost a single territory, annihilating twenty-five million and forty-six thousand enemies.”

On the other side, Hu Wen had steadied her emotions and continued to broadcast, “News from the Central Domain, led by the Jiang family, Nangong family, Yuanling Commerce, Jinhua Commerce, Demon Spirit Sect, Saint Spirit Sect, Heavenly Gate Sect, and Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the eight powers have now launched an offensive against the Yuan family.”

“The Yuan family, due to defending the Northern Border, have their clan strength depleted and have already lost seventy-six states.”

The broadcast left many Huaxia people exchanging glances and clicking their tongues.

They truly had not expected that the situation on the Soul Martial Continent would have already descended into such chaos.

Especially the initial content on the screen, it made the Huaxia people utterly detest those ruthless alien races and also sympathized with both the innocent Human Clan and the Western Continent’s alien races.

“In the Western Continent, did you too ever suffer such treatment from those ruthless alien races?” At this moment, in a city, a Human Clan man standing on the street addressed his friend from the Muling Clan who had come to visit this city.

The Muling Clan member looked at the image on the Soul Vision Machine and sighed deeply, “Many tribes in the Western Continent are not belligerent; they only wish to live peaceful lives. But things don’t always go as desired.”

“Just like us, in the Western Continent, we are only a lower-class race, merely enslaved and used. Only those lower-class tribes shielded by upper-class races of benevolent nature can live slightly better days.”

“Those barbaric tribes in the Western Continent pillage and plunder, simply because those races protested by launching wars, thus suffering such calamities. Those barbaric tribes straightforwardly conquer those tribes opposing the war, seizing their resources.”

The words of the Muling Clan tightened the fists of the Human Clan man, “It is indeed abhorrent. What good is war? Under the spread of war flames, how many families will be torn apart.”

“But, did our empire not also conquer the entire Southern Domain in the beginning?”

“Other than the people of the Boundary Country who were exceedingly offensive, His Majesty never ordered the slaughter of ordinary people. Moreover, after the unification of the Southern Domain, the number of dead due to conflicts lessened, and since we all became Huaxia People, no more fratricide occurred.”

“After His Majesty unified the Southern Domain, you have experienced firsthand how he treats us as his subjects.” Looking at the image on the Soul Vision Machine, the Human Clan man suddenly spoke, “If those barbaric tribes were to rule over the entire Soul Martial Continent, what kind of life do you think we would lead?”

Remembering those barbaric tribes who would kill arbitrarily for enjoyment and treat the subjugated lower-class races like livestock, the Muling Clan person couldn’t help but shudder.

“If possible, how wonderful it would be if the Huaxia Empire could rule the entire Soul Martial Continent,” the Muling Clan member muttered suddenly after a long silence.

And at this moment, Lin Qian had already arrived within the Yuan family in the Central Domain, seated at the head of the Council Hall.

Elders stationed by the Yuan family continuously stepped into the Council Hall and upon seeing the man seated at the head, respectfully bowed before taking their seats.

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. The stationed elders looked up, only to see Yuan Wudi returning from the frontline, accompanied by a young man.

“Your Majesty!” Upon their arrival at the Council Hall, Yuan Wudi hurriedly bowed to Lin Qian.

The young man following Yuan Wudi did the same and then sat down next to him, his eyes revealing a curious guise as he looked at Lin Qian.

The appearance of Yuan Wudi did not surprise Lin Qian in the slightest; it would have been indiscernible for the Family Head not to return, given that the Yuan family had been attacked.

With Yuan Supreme guarding the Northern Border, there was no immediate threat. Lin Qian was extremely grateful that he had deployed so many soul cannons and destructive impact soul cannons. Otherwise, the Northern Territory might have already been conquered by alien tribes, and many of the Yuan family descendants would have suffered heavy casualties.

“The situation in the Northern Territory is no longer an issue; you don’t need to report on that, I am already aware,” Lin Qian waved his hand to stop Yuan Wudi from speaking as everyone present had arrived, facing the crowd, “What I want to know is, now that the Yuan family has been attacked, are you still able to participate in conflicts with other forces?”

“Your Majesty, my father mentioned that when the Eight Directions Forces allied, the ancestral teachings that bound us were completely shattered, likely a contingency planned by our ancestors. This means we weren’t left without any means to retaliate when attacked,” Yuan Wudi quickly stated in response to Lin Qian’s query.

Lin Qian nodded silently, looking at Yuan Wudi, “Then proclaim to the entire Human Clan to join the Huaxia Empire, becoming a part of it.”

“Then, I will avenge the fallen descendants of the Yuan family!” As he said this, a cold gleam flickered in Lin Qian’s eyes, his intent to kill chillingly clear.
