The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 342 - 343: Dog’s Nose

In his past life, game props were static and unchangeable.

But now things were different. The Huaxia Empire had come alive; the Heavenly Art Department had developed its own thoughts, and based on the cultivation civilization of this world, many game props had been modified to achieve incredible effects.

For example, the Array virus!

Lin Qian planned to repeat his old trick, eroding the Arrays of the Dynasty of Four Directions State against foreign tribes in the same way.

Because in the previous life's game, many props could only be used by players, and game units couldn't use them, even though the Empire had come alive now, this remained the case.

Although the Heavenly Art Department had developed props that could be used by Empire units, only their Emperor could use those that were perfectly effective.

For instance, the Array virus Array Map – if Lin Qian were to use it, he could erode the opponent's Array without even entering the Array nexus space, allowing himself to take control.

This was the capability of the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire; people from the Dynasty of Emperor Qin could never imagine that there would be such a brute force method for cracking Arrays, essentially strong-arming them into submission.

But before that, Lin Qian had to help the three factions gain the upper hand in the water and woods of the two states, diverting the attention of the three frontmost cities of Shunshui State to the woods and waters of the two states, facilitating the three of them to take action.

Besides, since this situation arose because of him, Lin Qian truly felt guilty causing disciples of the three factions to shed too much blood for his own cause.

Like the thirty corpses of Dynasty of Emperor Qin soldiers beneath their feet; they had planned to ambush the passing disciples of the Carefree Sect but were instead preemptively killed by the three of them.

Currently, the entire woods and waters of the two states were under the surveillance of Lin Qian's Reconnaissance Beasts, and he was crystal clear about the movements of the Dynasty of Emperor Qin soldiers and the disciples of the three factions.

In truth, the person who really had control over the woods and waters of the two states was Lin Qian!

No matter what, neither side – the Dynasty of Emperor Qin nor the three factions – could imagine that there could be such a spoiler in the woods and waters of the two states.

"Let's go to the next spot; there's a small team resting there. We'll head straight over and attack," Lin Qian said, after finishing all this and looking in another direction, signaling to Lei Qian and Gao Benli beside him.

Lei Qian suppressed the Soul Power all over his body, looking at Lin Qian with an admirative expression, "Boss, do you have clairvoyance or something? You seem to be aware of everything happening in the woods and waters of the two states."

"Just a keen nose, I guess, sniffed out their stench."

Gao Benli had barely finished speaking when Lin Qian kicked him squarely, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt.

"With a senior brother like you, it's really bad luck," Lin Qian said begrudgingly, turning around to leave.

Lei Qian couldn't help but gloat seeing Gao Benli climb up from the ground, clicking his tongue, "That mouth of yours is beyond redemption."

"Ptui, ptui," Gao Benli spat out the dirt from his mouth, looking innocent, "I was just joking around, junior brother sure is no fun."

Lei Qian shook his head helplessly, feeling that Gao Benli was hopeless, and quickly caught up with Lin Qian's steps.

After the three of them had left, the squadron of Carefree Sect disciples passed by. When they saw a pile of corpses of the Dynasty of Emperor Qin soldiers on the ground, they all came to a halt.

"Looks like, this group was planning to ambush us but someone took them out ahead of time," said the leading disciple of the Carefree Sect as he squatted down to carefully examine the corpses lying on the ground. "Whoever did this is very strong, able to kill the enemy within three moves. That's quite impressive."

"Nowadays, the forest and waters of the two states are very strange. It seems like someone is secretly appearing and lending a hand. People from both the Double Pole Palace and Blood Spirit Valley mentioned being mysteriously aided by someone," another disciple commented with a hint of surprise, as he looked at the dead bodies.

The lead disciple stood up and took a deep breath, "Let's head back first, report this situation to Brother Li Yunfeng, and then decide what to do next."

Five days later, near the depths of Liujiang State's forest waters, three young men were gathered together. It was none other than Fang Ziqian, Li Yunfeng, and Yang Tianhao.

"What do you guys make of the strange incidents happening in the forest waters of the two states?" Fang Ziqian asked, looking for the opinions of the two men before him.

Li Yunfeng shook his head, "Who knows what's going on? All day every day we're busy fighting with those bastards from the Emperor Qin Dynasty; who has time to pay attention to these strange matters?"

"By the look of it, you seem to know something?"

Fang Ziqian smiled and nodded, standing at the edge of the cliff and overlooking the waters of the two states, "A fellow sect member told me his sister and brother-in-law were saved by a person named Qian Ling from the Huaxia Empire. He suspects it's a ruse of the Emperor Qin Dynasty, intending to infiltrate our ranks with a spy. But fearing to misjudge a good person, they sent him away without raising alarm."

"Huaxia Empire? Brother Lin's people..." Li Yunfeng initially did not find it significant, but then suddenly, he came to a realization, "Qian Ling, Qian Ling... Lin Qian!"

Yang Tianhao's eyes lit up as he also came to a realization, "Could it be..."

"He's back, he must have emerged from one of those sealed Small Worlds," Fang Ziqian murmured, staring at the forest waters of the two states, "To think that he could actually come out. Who exactly is he? Some people say we three powers are battling the Emperor Qin Dynasty under the pretense of protecting the Huaxia Empire, but in reality, it's to annex the Dynasty with ambitious intentions."

"You both know the actual situation. The three old masters are fighting the Emperor Qin Dynasty, and damn it, it really is to protect the Huaxia Empire."

Li Yunfeng and Yang Tianhao exchanged glances and shrugged.

The Grandmaster's attitude had always puzzled Li Yunfeng, especially during his time in the Eight-Armed Sea Clan Sect as Sect Master. The Grandmaster never seemed to care much for the younger generation of geniuses. The only reason he was allowed to follow the Grandmaster was because of his father.

But Zhou Yian took the initiative to pay him a visit, which was completely unexpected by Li Yunfeng.

Zhang Tianxin's initiative to visit was usual due to the nature of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan.

Thinking about it, the Grandmaster seemed to pay extraordinary attention to Lin Qian.

"Brother Lin is too, coming back without paying us a visit earlier," Li Yunfeng said, and couldn't help but grin, "With Brother Lin helping us, those guys from the Emperor Qin Dynasty wouldn't be a concern at all."

Fang Ziqian and Li Yunfeng both nodded earnestly, very aware of how terrifying Lin Qian's strength was.

Especially the scene of him overcoming the Power Tribulation left a lasting impression.

Moreover, the story of Lin Qian surviving the simultaneous arrival of the Five-layered Fire during his Tribulation, though it was spread around, was met with disbelief.

Almost no one who hadn't seen it firsthand believed the rumor. How could anyone possibly survive the Power Tribulation with the Five-layered Fire arriving at once?

"With that freak helping us, we could totally win against those guys from the Emperor Qin Dynasty straight up," Yang Tianhao said excitedly, only to be met by a reproachful voice.

"Calling someone a freak behind their back isn't very nice..."
