Chapter 736: The Central Continent Makes Its Move
Back in the Desolate Heaven Empire, Qin Lingxiao was sitting inside a private palace.
A report from the clan had just been delivered to her.
After reading it, her expression became slightly ugly.
She couldn’t help but feel like a headache was coming.
She rubbed her temples.
Almost all the major powers of the Central Glorious Continent would soon be heading toward the Desolate Heaven Empire.
She had known that the other factions would eventually discover that the location of the True God’s Legacy was the Desolate Heaven Empire.
After all, they also had their own pieces of the map.
They could also find it by investigating her and others who had already entered the Desolate Heaven Empire.
It was only a matter of time before someone figured out the location of the True God’s Legacy.
However, Qin Lingxiao had never expected the information to be leaked so suddenly.
And even worse... Everyone knows about it now.
She had spent so many years maintaining an advantage over the other factions.
Yet despite having such a head start, she still hadn’t found the exact location of the True God’s Legacy.
Now, all of those factions would be coming here.
The advantage she had painstakingly maintained for years was rapidly disappearing.
Fortunately, Qin Lingxiao still possessed one advantage that the others did not.
The Desolate Heaven Empire!
She could not be said to completely control the entire empire.
But with the Imperial Family already under her control, she essentially possessed a significant advantage over anyone who entered the Desolate Heaven Empire.
The Imperial Family could provide her with information.
They could help her search.
They could also influence the various forces within the empire.
However, Qin Lingxiao knew that this advantage was not enough to stop the Central Glorious Continent’s forces.
Even if she ordered the entire army of the Desolate Heaven Empire to mobilize, what could they possibly do?
They couldn’t stop those forces coming from the Central Glorious Continent.
They would lose miserably.
The difference was simply too great.
The formation surrounding the Eastern Region had already weakened.
Golden Immortal Realm cultivators could now enter without suffering much suppression, and others would surely notice it as well.
The Long Clan already knew about it as well.
So the others must have sensed it too.
That meant thousands of Golden Immortal experts from the Central Glorious Continent could potentially enter the Desolate Heaven Empire.
How could an army that did not even possess a single Golden Immortal stop them?
It was impossible!
Qin Lingxiao’s expression became increasingly solemn.
"The situation is becoming troublesome."
At that moment—
"Master!"
Yu Feiyan’s voice suddenly came from outside.
She quickly entered the palace.
"The Bai Clan has destroyed the Demonic Cultivators!"
Qin Lingxiao’s eyes flickered slightly.
She had ordered the people under her to keep an eye on the Bai Clan because she thought that the Bai Clan might be attacking them.
This was already the second time Qin Lingxiao had thought that the Bai Clan might be preparing to move against them after Yu Feiyan took control of the throne.
The first time was when the Bai Clan had suddenly mobilized against the Shen Clan.
The second time was right now, when the Bai Clan had moved against the Demonic Cultivators.
The Bai Clan was the only force in the Desolate Heaven Empire that could threaten her right now.
So, she definitely needed to keep her eyes on them.
However, looking at the situation now...
The Bai Clan did not seem to have any intention of fighting against the Imperial Family.
That was undoubtedly good news.
Yu Feiyan had only recently ascended the throne.
Her position had yet to be completely stabilized.
Her authority had yet to be fully consolidated.
If the Bai Clan decided to oppose the Imperial Family at this moment, it would undoubtedly create enormous trouble for her.
Therefore, seeing that the Bai Clan had no intention of attacking them, Qin Lingxiao couldn’t help but feel relieved.
She slowly tapped her finger against the armrest.
The Bai Clan...
Qin Lingxiao’s thoughts soon turned toward the Bai Clan, who had captured Long Haotian.
She knew that Long Head had asked the other top factions to help search for and protect his son.
However, Qin Head had kept this information completely hidden.
Qin Lingxiao naturally understood why.
It was better for the other factions to remain unaware that someone within the Desolate Heaven Empire possessed the strength to defeat and capture someone like Long Haotian.
Otherwise, they would immediately become cautious of the Bai Clan.
If they underestimated the Bai Clan...
Then the Bai Clan might be able to catch them off guard and make them suffer a little.
However, deep down, Qin Lingxiao had already made her own calculation.
When those forces from the Central Glorious Continent arrived...
The Bai Clan would most likely perish.
The reason was simple.
The Bai Clan was far too proud.
Once those ancient and powerful factions arrived, they would undoubtedly try to make the Bai Clan submit to them.
After all, the Bai Clan was a powerful force within the Desolate Heaven Empire.
They definitely had far more resources to search for the True God’s Legacy than the other forces, due to which many of the Central Glorious Continent’s factions would naturally want to bring the Bai Clan under their control.
But Qin Lingxiao knew Bai Zihan’s personality.
He would never bow his head so easily.
He would never willingly become subservient to another faction.
A conflict was therefore almost inevitable.
And once that happened...
Could the Bai Clan really survive against all those ancient and terrifying factions?
Qin Lingxiao did not think so.
The Central Glorious Continent was simply too powerful.
There would be countless Golden Immortal experts among those arriving forces.
The Bai Clan might be powerful within the Desolate Heaven Empire, but compared to those powerful factions...
The difference was enormous.
Therefore, while Qin Lingxiao had already mentally calculated the Bai Clan’s eventual downfall, she was also thinking about how she could maximize the benefits for herself and the Qin Clan.
Perhaps... She could use Long Haotian.
When the Long Clan arrived, she could slowly reveal the information about Long Haotian.
If the Qin Clan helped the Long Clan find their Young Master, the Long Clan would naturally owe them a favor.
That could become useful in the future.
As for the Bai Clan...
Qin Lingxiao’s thoughts paused.
Perhaps she could at least protect Bai Zihan.
Bai Zihan was a genius unlike anyone she had ever encountered.
His cultivation speed, strength, and talent were simply extraordinary.
If someone like him could become a member of the Qin Clan...
It would undoubtedly benefit the Qin Clan tremendously.
However, Qin Lingxiao knew that this would not be easy.
Bai Zihan was extremely proud.
Convincing him to submit to the Qin Clan would be incredibly difficult.
Unless the Bai Clan suffered a devastating defeat.
If Bai Zihan and the Bai Clan were pushed to the brink of destruction, perhaps that would be the best opportunity to approach him.
At that point, she could offer him something he could not obtain on his own.
Protection.
Resources.
And a chance to survive.
She already knew that the Central Glorious Continent’s forces were coming.
She also knew that a storm was about to descend upon the Desolate Heaven Empire.
And she was curious to see...
Just how long the Bai Clan could survive once that storm arrived.
And how much she could profit from the situation!
