Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 596 596 Too Strong!

He wanted all of them!

He actually meant it!

Fairy He and Wang Lingguan stared at Qin Heng in utter shock. They almost couldn't believe their ears. Qin Heng actually wanted this King Arthur to compensate him with all the artifacts in the British Museum—to compensate China! How could this be possible? That was one of the largest and most prestigious museums in the world, with a collection of more than eight million pieces! Each and every one is a priceless treasure!

However, if all these eight million-plus pieces were returned as compensation, their monetary value would no longer be important. The international ripple effect it would cause would be like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire world! What did this mean? It meant that Great Britain, the empire on which the sun never set over a century ago, had now completely lost its former glory. Like a tiger on the brink of death, it might still have been feared by some. But if Great Britain compensated China with all the artifacts from the British Museum, everything would change. In the eyes of the world, this tiger would be as good as dead! No one would be wary of it anymore; no one would fear it. It might even lose its standing among the world's nations. The outcome would be utterly tragic for them.

Therefore, faced with such a demand, how could the other party possibly agree? They absolutely could not! This was an outright impossibility! Moreover, it was very likely to anger this young woman who had inherited the legendary monarch's title and Excalibur from Briton. If she flew from Tianhai to Beijing, nobody could match her!

"Mr. Xuantian, we…" Fairy He and Wang Lingguan began, trying to persuade Qin Heng, hoping he wouldn't press such an excessive demand.

Xia Shuang also frowned, her delicate brows furrowed. She looked at Qin Heng and, after a moment of thought, said, "Qin Heng, don't you want to reconsider...?"

She, too, wanted to persuade Qin Heng not to make a demand that was sure to be refused.

Although such a demand felt exhilarating to even think about—it could completely wash away the humiliation the Divine Province suffered a hundred years ago—it was outright impossible! Why bother with such an act, inviting unknown calamity over an almost impossible matter?

However, just at that moment, the noble and perfect young woman in the golden light screen suddenly spoke.

"I… can agree to your request!"

The blonde young woman's jade-like eyes lost their luster. She appeared very forlorn, evoking pity at first glance and making one unable to resist the urge to protect her.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a momentous decision. With her gaze fixed intently on Qin Heng, she said, "Honorable sir, I can comply with your request. I will present all the cultural relics in the British Museum to you and your country as compensation!"

GASP!

As soon as her words fell, Xia Shuang, Fairy He, Wang Lingguan, and everyone else still conscious around them all gasped. Expressions of utter shock covered their faces. They couldn't believe what they had just heard from the noble blonde young woman in the golden light screen.

What did she just say?! She agreed?! My God! How is this possible?! She... she actually agreed to Qin Heng's demand! Damn! Incredible! This is truly too incredible! How could such a thing happen?! No, no, no, no, no, this can't be possible, right?! It's preposterous! To actually agree to give all of the over eight million artifacts in the British Museum to Qin Heng, to China?! This can't be a dream!

"I... I, what did I just hear? She actually said... she agreed?!" Wang Lingguan murmured, his voice trembling. As a man of China, even though he had reached the pinnacle of the Innate realm, he felt unbelievably excited upon hearing this news.

"Wonderful! This is truly wonderful! So many of our nation's treasures scattered abroad, so many peak masterpieces created by our Chinese civilization through its inheritance and progression! Now, they can finally return!" Fairy He cried with joy, her happiness so immense that her delicate body trembled.

"It's not just our own Chinese artifacts, but also all the other artifacts in the British Museum!" Xia Shuang exclaimed with indescribable excitement. "This means we can finally take our revenge! A century ago, England stabbed us when we were at our weakest. Now, Qin Heng has cut off England's head with this sword! Revenge has been taken, and our past shame wiped away! This is so satisfying!"

Everyone present became ecstatic.

They all vividly remembered the humiliation of the Divine Province's decline a hundred years ago. They remembered the great powers that had invaded, attempting to carve up the Divine Province during China's weakest moments. Every single person remembered who those powers were, their actions, their plundering, and their slaughters.

This hatred was etched into their very bones, never to be forgotten!

How exhilarating! It was truly too exhilarating!

The blonde young woman could clearly hear what Fairy He, Wang Lingguan, and the others were saying. She also knew what they were talking about. Yet, she acted as if she hadn't heard a thing, as if all was silent. Thus, all her attention remained focused on Qin Heng.

Reflected in her elegant and noble eyes was Qin Heng's image, and with it, sheer dread and terror.

"Good," Qin Heng said, looking at the blonde young woman. His voice was calm as he stated, "King Arthur of Briton, you have made a very wise decision. I hope you will uphold your promise; otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your imagination. I will give you half a year to deliver every single artifact from the British Museum to me. I must inspect each one personally!"

This, too, was one of Qin Heng's goals. He believed that among these ancient artifacts, there had to be hidden information about Earth's ancient history. Using these artifacts as clues, perhaps he could find some threads about Earth's past, uncover its secrets, and increase his understanding of this world—Earth. From there, he might glimpse more comprehensive and detailed Supreme Laws! In short, a large portion of the massive number of artifacts in the British Museum could potentially help Qin Heng enhance his understanding of the Supreme Law and raise his cultivation level! For the current Qin Heng, this was more valuable than any Immortal Medicine, Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, or Supreme Magic Treasure!

"I will do so, Your esteemed Excellency from the Land of the Gods."

The noble young woman within the golden light screen lightly lifted the hem of her blue dress and bowed respectfully to Qin Heng. Then, the golden light in the sky gradually faded and dispersed until it vanished completely.

Xia Shuang, Fairy He, Wang Lingguan, and the others watched the fading golden light in the sky, recalling the conversation between Qin Heng and the blonde young woman. Their expressions were as if they were lost in a fantastical dream. They gazed at Qin Heng, their expressions filled with incredulity.

With just a few words, he had obtained all the artifacts from the British Museum—over eight million pieces—from "King Arthur"!

So powerful!
