Zither Emperor Chapter 470 Chapter 146 Cannon of Annihilation Part 1_1

470: Chapter 146 Cannon of Annihilation (Part 1)_1 470: Chapter 146 Cannon of Annihilation (Part 1)_1 The Dwarves’ presence was the most majestic, their armor almost all forged by their own hands, which was the most important task each Dwarf undertook upon reaching adulthood.

The craftsmanship of the Dwarves was undoubtedly formidable, their armor so tough that even the heavy infantry of the Bear People from the Beastman Clan had difficulty breaking through.

Wielding battle axes or warhammers, they stood opposite the human soldiers under the leadership of their Clan Leader, Rutz.

Ye Yinzhu entered Qin City calmly; this was his territory, and if he didn’t even have the courage to protect it, how could he possibly maintain his panions’ freedom?

As soon as he walked into Qin City, Ye Yinzhu saw the warriors of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans lined up neatly on the streets.

The warriors of the Eight Clans were easy to distinguish: the warriors of the Mei Clan wore red armor, the Lan Clan warriors in blue armor, Zhu Sect warriors in dark green, and the Chrysanthemum Clan warriors in yellow.

As Ye Yinzhu entered Qin City, apart from not seeing the dark green armor of his own sect, he saw the other three clans’ warriors arrayed in neat rows, a deadly aura enveloping the city above.

Each of them looked at Ye Yinzhu with calm, slightly icy looks.

Ye Yinzhu knew that perhaps these warriors already regarded him as a criminal of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.

However, he didn’t care about these unfriendly gazes, walking with his head held high, striding directly toward the Lord’s Mansion.

Making his way to the entrance of the Lord’s Mansion as if on familiar ground, the mansion gates were wide-open, with warriors from the Mei Clan and Chrysanthemum Clan standing on either side, each holding onto their longswords at their waists, watching him walk inside the mansion.

Striding in with pride, Ye Yinzhu walked straight into the great council hall of the Lord’s Mansion, immediately noticing the three Supreme Elders seated at the top.

To their sides, the magical three sects’ masters were on the left, excluding the Zither Clan, and the martial three sects’ masters were on the right, excluding the Zhu Sect.

However, the boisterous Second Elder Wei Tingfeng from the Chrysanthemum Clan was missing, replaced by an elder in a yellow robe.

His face was cold, and his pale golden visage had a pair of eyes shining with spirit.

He sat there with his back straight, not looking like an old man at all; he must have been very handsome when he was young.

Without asking, Ye Yinzhu knew this was the Chrysanthemum Clan Master, Wei Lingfeng.

Above his seat, there was one more person, who appeared simple and ancient, seemingly older than Wei Lingfeng, with a calm and serene face, always giving the impression of smiling, making him seem approachable.

This must be the Mei Clan Master, Mei Rujian, another of the Four Martial Arts Sects’ masters.

Ye Yinzhu stopped slowly in the center of the hall and said, “Greetings to the three Supreme Elders and all the sect masters.”

Supreme Elder Wei Ming, seated in the central and topmost seat, pointed to the first chair on his left and said, “Chief Ye, please take a seat.” As Ye Yinzhu was the master of two sects, he held a position above the other six clans, and the proper courtesies were observed by offering him the seat closest to the Supreme Elders.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yinzhu strode forward, took his seat in this foremost position among the sect masters.

His gaze swept across his grandmother’s face, and in Lan Ruxue’s eyes, he saw a glint of worry, immediately understanding that his guess was correct.

Today’s meeting was likely to decide everything.

Wei Ming’s gaze swept across everyone present and he began to speak slowly, “Now that all sect masters of the Eight Sects are here, we can now mence the first full assembly since the establishment of the Eastern Dragon Empire.

As we all know, in the war of destruction, our Empire paid a great price to repel the Abyss Demon Mother Demon King, and yet after the war ended, we were mercilessly attacked by the inhabitants of this continent, leading to the catastrophe of our nation’s fall.

After thousands of years of recuperation, it is now time for the Eastern Dragon to rise again.

We will use Qin City as our base, recruiting as many descendants of the Eastern Dragon Empire as possible to restore the glory of the Empire.

The empire has been established, and we must hold a formal founding ceremony.

Due to the limited time, we can only make Qin City the capital for now, with the Lord’s Mansion serving temporarily as the Imperial Palace.

For years, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans have silently protected the sole bloodline of the Eastern Dragon’s royal family, and during the founding ceremony, we will all swear allegiance to the first emperor of the new Eastern Dragon Empire.

The ceremony will be held in three days, and before that, we have some important preparations to undertake.”

Pausing for a moment, Wei Ming’s gaze turned to Ye Yinzhu, “Chief Ye, since you are the original Lord of Qin City and are most familiar with the surrounding environment, how about you take on the task of making purchases according to our list?

The Empire will allocate funds to you.

You must plete this within three days.

Can you?”

Since the Eastern Dragon Empire had been established, Ye Yinzhu knew he could no longer prevent it from happening, he slowly nodded and said, “Yes, I can.”

Upon hearing Ye Yinzhu’s affirmative response, Wei Ming’s expression softened noticeably and he said, “Lord Ye is indeed sensible.

Born in Zhu Sect, now serving as the master of both Zither and Zhu Sects, being a sect master at the age of less than eighteen is unprecedented in the history of the Eight Sects since their formation.

You are also a Zi-rank expert not even eighteen years old yet, with a limitless future ahead.

Perhaps, when the Eastern Dragon truly rises, I will eventually be succeeded by you in the position of elder.

I hope that Chief Ye will put aside past grievances and work with the other sects to build Qin City well, making it the foundation for the rise of our Eastern Dragon Empire.”

Ye Yinzhu remained silent, but he found it a bit odd that Elder Wei Ming seemed to have forgotten about the disrespect he had shown him that day, as his tone had now bee much kinder.

Feeling slightly more relaxed, he slowly nodded his head.

Supreme Elder Wei Ming continued, “Since Chief Ye acknowledges his identity within the Eastern Dragon Empire, his personal affairs naturally belong to the Empire as well.

As far as I know, in addition to the original twenty thousand residents of Qin City, there are also some special guests.

Since these guests are Chief Ye’s subordinates, after the empire’s founding ceremony, they should naturally e under the Empire’s unified management.

Chief Ye, rest assured, we will not discriminate against these different races, but they must follow the Empire’s orders.

I declare that from now on, all non-human races within Qin City shall be under the unified management of the Chrysanthemum and Mei Clans.

After the end of the founding ceremony, we will then officially bestow titles upon the leaders of these different races.”

“Yes, Supreme Elder,” both the Juzong sect leader Wei Lingfeng and the Mei Clan Master, Mei Rujian, bowed in agreement.

Ye Yinzhu’s eyes revealed a trace of faint coldness.

“Wait a moment.”

Supreme Elder Wei Ming looked at Ye Yinzhu, “How so?

Does Chief Ye have any objections?

It isn’t that I am unwilling to leave these different races under your leadership, but you are simply too young.

In terms of leadership, you naturally fall short pared to the other, more experienced Clan Masters.

Chief Ye’s priority should be to strengthen his cultivation, to bee even more powerful, so as to make better contributions to the Empire.”

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Ye Yinzhu’s mouth.

Did the Supreme Elder really think he could be so easily trapped by a few simple sentences?

Not that simple, it seems.

The Supreme Elder really played a good game.

“Supreme Elder, I think this matter cannot be decided so hastily.

First, I must clarify something to everyone present.

Before the Empire’s arrival in Qin City, among the original residents of Qin City, apart from humans, the remaining races were not my subordinates; they were partners whom I invited to help with the construction of Qin City.

Therefore, I do not have the authority to mand them.

Originally, I had promised them that Qin City and the Burna Mountain Range would always be their home, and for the construction of Qin City, they have made countless efforts.

I do not object to the establishment of the Empire in Qin City, using Qin City as a foundation.

However, I hope the Empire can coexist peacefully with the original residents of Qin City, maintaining an equal status without interfering with each other.

I am even willing to ask them to pletely cede Qin City to the Empire and retreat to the depths of the Burna Mountain Range.”

This was the greatest concession Ye Yinzhu could make while repressing his anger.

It was also the plan he had long since devised.

Elder Wei Ming frowned slightly, “Chief Ye, since you were once the Lord of Qin City, everything in Qin City and the Burna Mountains naturally belongs to you.

Now that the Empire has stepped in, as a high-ranking member of the Eastern Dragon Empire, offering your territory to the Empire is only right.

These original residents should naturally be integrated into the Empire.

You are well aware that the Empire is at the beginning of its development and needs fresh blood to grow.

I hear that with you, there are not only Elves but even Goblins and Dwarves.

The Empire requires their assistance in casting more weapons and equipment to be prepared for the future.

Chief Ye, do not be swayed by these different races; being subjects of our Eastern Dragon Empire is already a great act of leniency for them.”

Ye Yinzhu sneered, “So, the Supreme Elder hopes to acquire the casting skills of the Dwarf race and the technology of the Goblin Tribe?

Why cloak it in such grand-sounding rhetoric?

I will repeat it once more, whether it be the Goblin Tribe, the Dwarf race, or the Elf Tribe, they are all my guests and members of the Burna Mountain Range and Qin City’s Territory.

The relationship between us and them will always be one of equality.

If you’re really intent on enslaving them—sorry, I can’t do that.”

“Ye Yinzhu, don’t forget your identity as a person of Dong Long,” the Supreme Elder Wei Ming angrily roared, slamming his hand onto the table beside him.

“Are you trying to shield these different races?”

Ye Yinzhu was naturally not intimidated by his rage, “Shielding, what is shielding?

They are my friends, and I cannot allow them to lose their most precious freedom because of their trust in me.” (To be continued, for more information, please visit ; the chapters are more numerous, support the author, support genuine reading!)
