Lin Wencheng and the others were also greatly shocked upon hearing this!
The country on this new continent was actually a feudal dynasty that bore a striking resemblance to ancient Huaxia. This was truly astonishing!
Lin Xue couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how can we meet... your Great Qian's Emperor?"
She had understood that their fates now rested entirely in the hands of that Great Qian Emperor; whether they lived or died depended on him.
The others also realized this and turned their gazes towards Lin Ru.
"Sir, can you let us see your Emperor?"
"As long as you let me go and allow me to leave the Great Wilderness, I will accept any condition."
"Sir, I am a prince from a royal family on Earth, with some status, and I am also very wealthy. You see..."
A group of people pleaded in Huaxia language, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
As for those who didn't know Huaxia language, they were anxiously stomping their feet, regretting why they hadn't chosen Huaxia language as an elective in school.
Seeing this group of Earthlings chattering noisily without any order, Lin Ru's brow furrowed, and his expression turned displeased. He snorted coldly,
"Hmph! Silence, all of you! If anyone dares to speak loudly again, they will be thrown into the heavenly prison!"
The Earthlings instantly fell silent, and the scene became quiet.
They had already experienced how unpleasant it was to be imprisoned in the Eastern Garrison's camp, and now they didn't want to experience it again.
Jack felt a pang of unwillingness. Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and said,
"Sir, I am a prince from the royal family of the English Kingdom on Earth. My name is Jack Elizabeth. I hope you, on behalf of my country, England, will send me back to my country safely. England will be grateful to the Great Qian Dynasty."
He was a prince of the English royal family, and also the sole heir apparent, the future emperor, and king.
This was why he dared to step forward and say this, believing that with the might of the British Empire, this Great Qian Dynasty would give him some face.
After all, these cultivators had searched their memories and should know the power of nuclear weapons, and would surely fear the formidable state machinery on Earth.
Upon hearing Jack's words, Lin Ru's expression immediately turned cold, and an icy aura emanated from him, carrying immense pressure that instantly made the Earthlings struggle to breathe.
Jack, bearing the brunt of it, had his knees buckle. With a bang, he knelt before Lin Ru. The pain of his knees hitting the ground contorted his face in agony.
"On behalf of my country, England? Hmph! Such arrogance. When has my Great Qian Dynasty ever needed to give face to your England? You truly think too highly of yourself!"
"And send me back to my country on Earth safely? Are you not recognizing reality?"
He spoke with utter disdain, sneering.
England, he had learned from Lin Wencheng's memories, was merely a second-rate country on Earth, not even first-rate. What right did it have to demand face from the Great Qian Dynasty?
The Great Qian spanned thousands of miles, threatening the Great Jin Dynasty to the north and bordering the Monster Beast Mountain to the west. With tens of thousands of cultivator soldiers, and His Majesty himself presiding, its power was immense.
Let alone the first-rate countries on Earth, even if the entire Earth united, the Great Qian Dynasty would not fear them!
Jack, kneeling on the ground, flushed with shame and humiliation.
As one of the top nobles on Earth, and the future heir to an empire, he was now kneeling before someone else, unable to resist.
This was like smearing feces on his face, and on the face of England.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. At this moment, he wished he could stand up and beat the old man before him.
But he couldn't. Mortals facing cultivators were like stones hitting eggs!
The others, witnessing this scene, were all shaken!
The prince of the English royal family was considered the highest-ranking among them.
Yet, such a noble individual was now kneeling on the ground, pathetic like a stray dog, unable to even stand up.
The curly-haired men of similar status to Jack, seeing Jack kneel, felt extremely stifled.
They were from the same circle as Jack, accustomed to considering themselves the highest elites on Earth, looking down on others. Even the richest men were nothing in their presence.
But now, in the Great Qian Dynasty, their status was like a joke in a children's storybook, utterly disregarded.
Because the Great Qian Dynasty was a cultivation dynasty, and cultivators were naturally superior to mortals.
Lin Xue's heart was filled with complex emotions as she watched this scene, unsure of what to say.
Jack had been persistently pursuing her, which she found very annoying. But seeing him kneeling so abjectly before cultivators, she still felt a stir in her heart.
Not because of Jack himself, but because of her fear of the Great Qian Dynasty!
Lin Wencheng opened his mouth and said, "The heavens are about to change. The appearance of the Great Wilderness may cause turmoil in Earth's current geopolitical landscape. A complete reshuffle is not impossible."
Earth's current situation was very stable, but the sudden intrusion of the Great Wilderness, with its myriad of miraculous items and immortal arts, was destined to make the Earth uneasy in the days to come.
Lin Ru only made Jack kneel and did not punish him further.
In his opinion, Jack was merely a prince from a small mortal kingdom.
He had spoken disrespectfully and was overly arrogant, thus he deserved a lesson. Captives should act like captives. Did he truly think those nuclear weapons could threaten the Great Qian Dynasty?
He didn't believe that, although the power of those nuclear weapons had been assessed as considerable, they were not invincible.
As long as they found a way, the Great Qian had plenty of methods to deal with them.
Just then, excited shouts echoed from outside the prisoner-of-war camp:
"His Majesty has arrived! Long live His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
As the voices spread, all the soldiers in the camp were invigorated and looked towards the main gate.
Lin Ru's expression also turned solemn, and he straightened his hunched back.
The Earthlings, however, were greatly shocked and looked at the main gate in disbelief.
Was the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty coming?
What did the Emperor who ruled cultivators and a cultivation dynasty look like? How was he different from other cultivators?
At the main gate, Xu Mo, clad in a crimson and gold dragon robe, with a tall and well-proportioned physique, strode in, followed closely by Gongsun Rou, dressed in a phoenix robe.
Upon seeing His Majesty, all the soldiers immediately knelt in obeisance.
Chen Wu and Wang Hao, seeing His Majesty for the first time, were incredibly excited, their hands trembling. They were stunned by the Emperor's imposing aura that commanded respect even without anger.
When they recovered, they hastily knelt and shouted in unison:
"Long live His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
