Qin Xuan had already returned. Not long after, Beginning Emperor came to find him after finding out that he had returned. When he saw Li Mubai and the others beside Qin Xuan, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
I don't think I've seen these people before, are they the ones that returned with Qin Xuan?
However, he didn't ask anything further. He shifted his gaze to Qin Xuan and said, "The envoys from the Cyan Smoke Island, the Heavenly Sacred Isle, and the Starfall Island have been waiting for two days. When does the Qin Emperor plan to see them?"
"Let them come here now." Qin Xuan said with an extremely calm tone.
"Alright." Beginning Emperor nodded and then left.
A moment later, Beginning Emperor and three other figures arrived at Qin Xuan's palace. The three of them looked at Qin Xuan, who was in front of them. Although there was not much change on their faces, they could not help but feel a slight wave of emotion.
They had previously come to First Emperor Island to witness the battles of trials and had seen Donghuang Yu's appearance. He was completely different from the current Qin Xuan, his appearance did not have a trace of similarity, but his temperament was extremely outstanding, hard to forget.
"Greetings to the Qin Emperor." The three of them said in unison as they clasped their fists. Qin Xuan's status was extraordinary now, so they naturally could not see him as a junior anymore.
"I've summoned the three of you here for an order." Qin Xuan looked at the three of them and said. His tone was extremely calm, as if it was just an ordinary thing.
The three great power s were unwilling to express their stance after a long time. They obviously wanted to observe the flames from the other side of the river and wait for the situation to become clear before they could join the strong side. However, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
Qin Xuan would not give them this kind of opportunity. They would either submit to him or stand against him. There was no third choice.
When the three of them heard Qin Xuan's words, their expressions couldn't help but change. It was obvious that they understood the seriousness in Qin Xuan's words. He wasn't joking with them, he was serious.
"I wonder what the Qin Emperor has to say?" The envoy of Starfall Island asked with clasped fists.
"Tomorrow, I will unite Xihua Islands. Now, all of you must make a decision, whether you want to submit to me or resist." Qin Xuan said calmly.
"The unified Xihua Islands tomorrow?" All three of them felt their hearts tremble as a look of disbelief flashed in their eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.
But when they looked at Qin Xuan's face, it was so calm, completely not like they were joking. Coupled with Beginning Emperor's attitude towards Qin Xuan, their hearts gradually sank and their faces became pale.
This was most likely true!
"This is a very important matter, we have no right to make a decision. We ask the Qin Emperor to let us go back and discuss it with Sect Master. We will get an answer from the Qin Emperor as soon as possible." The Starfall Island envoy spoke again. His voice carried a hint of pleading.
How could he not see that this person was trying to delay the war? He said lightly: "I believe that you all have something with you that can contact the sect. It would be a waste of time to discuss it when you return, let's discuss it here, I will sit here and wait for your results."
When the three of them heard this, their hearts trembled. Was this forcing them to make a decision?
They indeed wanted to delay for a while, at least until they understood the current situation. However, Qin Xuan didn't give them the chance to do so.
If they didn't get the result, Qin Xuan probably wouldn't let them off easily.
Their eyes were fixed on Qin Xuan as their hearts fiercely rose and fell. Their expressions were extremely complicated.
None of them would have expected that the young man who they thought to be a junior would one day stand proudly in front of them and force them to make a decision.
And this decision would affect the future of the sect behind them.
"What are the three of you waiting for?" Qin Xuan's voice became colder as the three of them didn't make a move.
Hearing Qin Xuan's urging, the three of them did not dare to delay at all. They each took out a Sound Transmission Jade and told Qin Xuan's words to Sect Master without changing their words, telling them to make the final decision.
After saying those words, their faces became incomparably tense and their heartbeats quickened. If Sect Master refused to submit to Qin Xuan, then they would undoubtedly be standing opposite of Qin Xuan. In Qin Xuan's eyes, they were the sinners.
Would Qin Xuan still let them off at that time?
Most likely, they would immediately order their men to kill them.
At a certain moment, the Green Smoke Island envoy's expression suddenly shook. Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He bowed towards Qin Xuan and said, "Reporting to the Qin Emperor, our Greencloud Hall is willing to submit to the Qin Emperor!"
Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes, looked at that person and confirmed, "Did Hall Master personally admit it?"
"Hall Master said it himself!" The envoy looked extremely excited. Hall Master had agreed to submit to Qin Xuan, and regardless of the final result, his life could be considered as temporarily preserved.
"Alright, I'll have you Hall Master personally bring people to First Emperor Island tomorrow." Qin Xuan instructed. Although the Greencloud Hall did not come to the None-beginning Palace to gather immediately, they did send envoys over after he had notified them. Thus, he did not intend to investigate the mistake of not coming last time.
Immediately after, the envoy of Starfall Island revealed a trace of wild joy as he loudly said, "Nebula Pavilion is willing to submit to the Qin Emperor!"
As soon as his voice fell, the envoy of the Sacred Isle looked at Qin Xuan and clasped his hands together, "The Sacred Heavenly Palace is willing to submit to the Qin Emperor!"
Towards these two great power s, Qin Xuan also gave the same order, for their respective Sect Master to personally come and attend the ceremony.
After settling the three great power s, Qin Xuan let the three leave. At this moment, Ye Tianqi looked at Qin Xuan with a smile and said, "It seems everything has gone smoothly."
"It seems alright now, but I don't know what will happen in the future." Qin Xuan nodded his head lightly. Although the three great power s were willing to follow him, it did not mean that they would only temporarily fawn over him.
"We'll see tomorrow." Ye Tianqi said, his clear eyes revealing a profound look, not knowing what would happen tomorrow.
As if he had thought of something, Qin Xuan immediately sent someone to summon Beginning Emperor again. Not long later, Beginning Emperor arrived in front of Qin Xuan and asked, "May I know what matter the Qin Emperor has?"
"In the two days that I was gone, did something big happen in Xihua Islands?" Qin Xuan asked.
"A big matter?" Beginning Emperor had a look of reminiscence in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "It seems that I haven't heard of any big news."
"No?" Qin Xuan immediately frowned and asked again: "Is there any news from the Flowing Immortal Island?"
"Nope." Beginning Emperor answered decisively.
Because the Flowing Immortal Island did not send any messengers, he had sent people to keep an eye on their movements. These two days, the Flowing Immortal Island was extremely quiet, and nothing happened.
"Could it be..." Qin Xuan's eyes shot out a sharp ray of light. Floating Cloud Immortal Gate's Sect Leader, was he deceiving him?
He had limited the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate to attacking the Cloud King Island within three days, and now that two days had already passed, there was actually no movement. Did he not put his words in his eyes, or did he just wait until tomorrow to start making moves?
"Did Sect Master from Zhen Wu Island, Eight Desolate Island, and Aurora Island return?" Qin Xuan asked again.
They are currently reorganizing their forces. After tomorrow's ceremony ends, they will send their troops to attack those who have not pledged their allegiance to them. The great power s on the First Emperor Island are also the same. Beginning Emperor said with a serious expression.
"That's good." Qin Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction, and then said to Beginning Emperor, "Thanks for your hard work. When we go to the ceremony tomorrow, I will reward you."
"Awarded!" When Beginning Emperor heard Qin Xuan's words, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes and his heart was a little excited. It seemed that Qin Xuan had already gotten the item Xi Hua Holy Lord left behind that year.
How powerful the Huatian Hall was back then, to be able to dominate a region, the items that Xi Hua Holy Lord left behind must also be extraordinary.
After Beginning Emperor had left, Qin Xuan looked at Li Mubai, Nan Xiaoxiang, and Ye Tian Zhan and said with a smile, "The three of you have worked hard on our way here. You should go rest first and wait for tomorrow's ceremony."
"Alright, then we'll take our leave first." The three of them nodded, and then left the palace together.
Right now, only Qin Xuan, Lin Ru, Hou Sheng, Jiang Fengjue and Feng Qing remained in the palace.
"Feng Jue, what did you do in the past two days?" Qin Xuan looked at Jiang Fengjue and asked.
In the two days that Qin Xuan wasn't around, Jiang Fengjue wasn't in First Emperor Island either, so he went to Cloud King Island alone to inquire about the news.
"In these two days, many people from various powers have arrived at Cloud King Island. If I'm not mistaken, they should be discussing how to fight against us." Jiang Fengjue said.
"As expected." The Cloud Empire would never submit to him. Of course, he did not plan to make the Cloud Empire submit either, and before long, the Cloud Empire would be removed from the Xihua Islands.
"I am afraid that the Flowing Immortal Island will not be able to defeat the allied forces of Cloud King Island. When that happens, it will be up to First Emperor Island and the other powers to join hands." Qin Xuan wanted to borrow the Flowing Immortal Island to fight against the Cloud King Island, but it seemed like it was not enough.
"There's no harm in this matter. After the ceremony is over, the army will directly head to the Cloud King Island and destroy him in one go." Those powers were all gathered in the Cloud King Island, which was exactly what Qin Xuan wanted, as he did not have to go out and fight them one by one.
"It looks like there won't be much of a problem inside the Xihua Islands. It'll all depend on how the outside world reacts." Jiang Fengjue said softly.
Qin Xuan looked into the distance with a grave expression on his face. He had invited Li Mubai and Ye Tianqi. Adding to the fact that the Southern Clear River was here, he should be able to withstand the pressure from the outside world.
