Although everyone present knew that Li Xiaotian's words were spoken in anger, their hearts were still in their throats, and they all spoke to persuade him.
"Heh heh, if we can hold on, we will naturally hold on. If in the end all our people are gone, and Great Qin has no ability to resist, then it won't be something we can hold on to if we want to," Li Xiaotian said self-mockingly. Although Great Qin was not weak now, it was still far from Wan Beast Mountain. He understood that the Wan Beast Mountain had not sent out their true powerhouses since the war began, meaning that the first battle, which Great Qin had barely won, might just be a probing attack by Wan Beast Mountain.
Hearing Li Xiaotian's words, everyone present fell silent. That's right, if Great Qin's people were all gone, what would they use to defend the capital?
"Alas, it is indeed too difficult for Great Qin to resist a demon forbidden zone alone. It is laughable that many forces returning from ancient times are standing by and watching a junior from Great Qin fight an enemy they cannot defeat," Jian Lin said, his tone filled with helplessness and resentment. He took a deep breath and continued.
"Qin Lord, Li Xiaotian, how this war is fought is up to you. If you want to fight, fight; if you want to retreat, retreat. Your Great Qin has already done enough!" After Jian Lin spoke, some of the ancient people in the hall wanted to speak up and persuade them, but upon seeing Jian Lin's cold gaze, they all shut their mouths. They knew that Jian Lin was angry.
The Qin Lord and Li Xiaotian exchanged a glance and smiled in tacit understanding. Then, the Qin Lord spoke to Jian Lin.
"Senior Jian Lin, what Xiaotian said earlier was just in anger and should not be taken seriously. Although Great Qin is a junior generation, we believe that man can conquer heaven. In our Great Qin's dictionary, there is no such word as retreat!" After the Qin Lord finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the Imperial-level martial artists of Great Qin present, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a deep voice.

"In this battle, Great Qin will not retreat!"
"Not retreat!" The people of Great Qin in the hall spoke in unison, their voices filled with fighting spirit and firm eyes! The current Great Qin was a prosperous nation built by its ancestors. Qin Yizu could not bear to see the people of the world oppressed, so he rose up as a commoner, overthrew tyranny, and established Great Qin! Later, Qin Sanzu established the capital in the imperial city, with the Son of Heaven defending the national gate and repelling enemies outside the national gate, making the northern barbarians unable to advance an inch. In modern times, Western powers invaded, bullying the sleeping lion of Great Qin with their advanced weaponry. Great Qin's people united with one heart, rising with the concept of man conquering heaven, and became one of the top powers on Earth. A truth has always been passed down in Great Qin: Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away! Great Qin has never retreated! No matter how powerful the enemy is, Great Qin has only one way to deal with them: to make the enemy submit! To make the enemy tremble! This is Great Qin!
"Good! No retreat in this battle! If you juniors have such will, why should we old guys be afraid? This time, even if I, Jian Lin, have to risk my life, I will defend with you to the end!" Jian Lin exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration and respect!
"We too! No retreat in this battle!" The other ancient Imperial-level martial artists in the hall spoke, their fighting spirit soaring.
"Boom!" At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly entered the hall, followed by an arrogant voice.
"Where is the Qin Lord? I am Liu Neng, an Enforcement Elder of the Desolate Hall, specially here to convey the will of the Desolate Master. Qin Lord, quickly come and receive the order!"
"Presumptuous!!!"
"How dare you!!!" In the hall, Li Xiaotian, Jian Lin, and others immediately stood up, their faces filled with anger. At this moment, the crowd in the hall was united and their fighting spirit was soaring. A mere enforcement elder of the Desolate Hall suddenly burst in with such arrogant words, wasn't he courting death?
"Boom!" Li Xiaotian unleashed a punch.
"Buzz!" Immediately after, Jian Lin also unleashed a sword strike! The powerhouse from the Daoist sect also flicked his horsetail whisk.
Outside the Qin Palace, Liu Neng was standing proudly, waiting for the Qin Lord to appear and greet him. After all, he represented the Desolate Master this time, and Great Qin was in a time of crisis. He, acting on the Desolate Master's orders, did not believe that Great Qin would dare to be rude to him like last time! Thinking of this, Liu Neng's face showed a trace of smugness. He could already imagine the scene to come: the Qin Lord leading the core figures of Great Qin to greet him, and among them would be Li Xiaotian, whom he had always disliked! Thinking of that scene, Liu Neng felt incredibly excited.
"Hmm?" While he was fantasizing, Liu Neng suddenly froze. He sensed several strong killing intents. He looked over and his face immediately changed drastically, his heart filled with terror. In the sky, a fist, a sword, and a horsetail whisk were all rushing towards Liu Neng. The strength of the attackers was superior to Liu Neng's, and he could not dodge!
"Boom boom boom!!!" The three attacks instantly landed on Liu Neng. Liu Neng was immediately sent flying, spitting blood, and his aura dropped significantly.
"How dare you!!! I represent the Desolate Master's true self on this trip! How dare you attack me? Aren't you afraid of my master's reprimand?!" Liu Neng recovered, his face filled with rage. He couldn't understand why Great Qin dared to attack him at this time when they were already struggling to protect themselves?! What gave them the right? Weren't they afraid of the Desolate Master's reprimand?
"It is you who are bold! This is a vital area of Great Qin, how can you, a despicable person, be so presumptuous?" Li Xiaotian's cold voice came. Immediately after, a large hand appeared in the sky, grabbed Liu Neng tightly, and then brought him back to the hall.
"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!!! Li Xiaotian, Qin Lord, you are courting death! Attacking me is tantamount to provoking my master!!!" Liu Neng, who was being held, struggled frantically, his face flushed, his heart filled with grief and indignation. With his status, wherever he went, he was treated with courtesy, but every time he came to Great Qin, he was insulted in every way. How could he accept this?
"Bang!" Liu Neng was thrown onto the floor of the hall. He quickly got up and was about to curse again, but when he saw the cold eyes of the many Imperial-level experts in the hall, his scalp tingled, and he froze on the spot! Jian Lin of Jian Pavilion, Dao Chen of the Daoist sect, and Li Xiaotian, the strength of all three of them was far superior to his. Moreover, there were other people whose strength was similar to his. At this moment, all these people were looking at him with killing intent in their eyes. Even if he had been confident originally, he no longer dared to be presumptuous. Damn it!!! What was going on? Why did Great Qin have so many strong experts? Liu Neng cursed inwardly, and at the same time, his mind worked rapidly, thinking about how to resolve this crisis.
"Hmph! Speak! Curse! I'd like to see what tricks you, Liu Neng, can pull today! Representing the Desolate Master's personal visit? I am also personally visiting on behalf of my Pavilion Master! Here are representatives of the Dao Xuan Sect Master. What are you?" Jian Lin snorted coldly, looking at Liu Neng with icy eyes.
"Cough cough! Fellow Daoists, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I didn't know you were here." Liu Neng quickly said with a smile, his heart already filled with regret. If he had known that these people were in the Qin Palace, he would never have chosen to come today, even if it meant death.
