The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 343 - 344: Dying in Frustration from Ignorance

Hearing the familiar voice behind them, the three people turned around simultaneously and saw a young man in white robes approaching them with two other young figures by his side.

The person who approached was none other than Lin Qian. Contrary to the outside world's belief that he had perished in the ruins of the Small World, he was very much alive and standing right in front of the trio.

Upon seeing Lin Qian, the three immediately went up to greet him. Li Yunfeng stepped forward to give him a big bear hug, "Brother Lin, you truly are amazing, to have actually made it out of there."

"I'm impressed. I thought you would be trapped in there for life." Yang Tianhao also stepped forward, happily patting Lin Qian on the shoulder. The latter had once saved his life, so Yang had been quite distressed while Lin Qian was trapped in the Small World.

Fang Ziqian also stepped forward to offer congratulations and looked at the two people beside Lin Qian, "Brother Lin, who are these two...?"

"They are brothers who follow me, called Lei Qian, and the other is my senior brother, Gao Benli. They are both in the Power Realm of the Life and Death Realm, but their true combat strength poses no issue in fighting against those of the Soul Realm. They both have combat capabilities in the Heart Realm," Lin Qian introduced with a smile, as everyone got to know one another.

"Brother Lin, all the strange happenings in the water forests of the two states must be your doing, right?" Li Yunfeng then abruptly asked Lin Qian.

Lin Qian nodded, "Indeed, it's our doing. This way, we can force the attention of three cities on the border of the Shunshui State under the Emperor Qin Dynasty to focus on it, which will then facilitate my actions when the time comes. You must not reveal the news of my return to prevent them from becoming vigilant."

"Hahaha, even if they know you're back, the Emperor Qin Dynasty won't care. In their eyes, you're just a delusional madman claiming to be an Emperor of the Empire, a laughable existence," Yang Tianhao laughed upon hearing Lin Qian's words.

Not only that, Fang Ziqian also chuckled, "Moreover, many people think we are making up stories and boasting, believing that your strength isn't that strong. Surviving the Power Tribulation of the Five-layered Fire is considered nonsense. Many people are like that. Often, if they can't do something themselves, they assume others can't either."

Lin Qian smiled lightly and nodded, but still reminded, "Even so, I still need to hide my tracks, just to be on the safe side. Isn't it fun to let the enemy stew in their ignorance to death?"

"..."

Hearing Lin Qian's words, the three exchanged glances and then raised their thumbs up to him.

"I actually thought of asking for your help since we've encountered some trouble on our end," Li Yunfeng sighed upon seeing Lin Qian about to attend to his own matters.

Lin Qian knew what trouble Li Yunfeng was referring to—clearly the difficulty arose from clashing with the prodigies from the Emperor Qin Dynasty. The adversary had considerable strength and outnumbered them; it would indeed be too troublesome for just the three of them to confront.

"Lei Qian, senior brother, you two stay behind and help," Lin Qian said after contemplating briefly and then turning to address the two men beside him.

Lei Qian and Gao Benli both shrugged their shoulders. They had no objections to this, as they had come here in the hopes of using this battle to temper themselves. The Coastal State was too peaceful.

Because of the Imperial Army's presence, Origin State and Coastal State had become too peaceful. The people of the Human Clan in both states were living in too much comfort, their lives alternating only between cultivating, sparring with one another, or hunting Soul Beasts.

If someone dared to kill recklessly, they would face the pursuit of the Imperial Army.

So far, none of the troublemakers within the two states had managed to survive.

Therefore, when they heard that Lin Qian was bringing the two of them over, excitement glowed in Lei Qian and Gao Benli's eyes, almost to the point of leaping up.

Then Li Yunfeng, who was always eager for battle, couldn't wait to spar with Lei Qian and Gao Benli. Since Lin Qian said their combat power was not bad, it ignited his desire for battle, wanting to see just how strong their abilities really were.

After their sparring, although it ended with Lei Qian and Gao Benli's defeat, surprise shone in the eyes of all three men because the two's combat power was much more formidable than they had imagined.

"With the two of you assisting us, I fear that the next time we confront each other, the winners will be us," Fang Ziqian highly praised Lei Qian and Gao Benli. He could see that if it wasn't for Li Yunfeng's realm advantage, the ones defeated would definitely not be them.

Fang Ziqian couldn't help but look towards Lin Qian, feeling deeply moved in his heart. Not only was Lin Qian himself powerful, but even the people around him were equally exceptional.

"I'll leave them in your hands. I wish you all complete victory in your upcoming battles." After saying goodbye to the three men, Lin Qian turned and left, blending back into the forested waters between the two states.

Watching Lin Qian leave, Yang Tianhao suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly have a feeling that the Dynasty is probably headed for misfortune."

It wasn't just Yang Tianhao; Li Yunfeng and Fang Ziqian also had a similar premonition. Lin Qian's words about making the enemy foster bafflement till death had given them an involuntary shudder.

"Boss said that this war with the Dynasty will definitely leave them feeling just that," Lei Qian spoke up at the same time, addressing the three beside him, "Boss said he would make the Dynasty fall into decline without understanding how, and then completely dismantle them."

"Little brother... he really is no ordinary person." Gao Benli also spoke up seriously, a rarity for him. He couldn't help but recall, during the Wanxiang Sect crisis, the huge figure that had suddenly emerged under the night sky's moonlight. Wasn't that belonging to his own little brother?

Now, both Coastal State and Origin State belonged to his little brother.

"Ah, I forgot to tell Brother Lin something." Suddenly, Fang Ziqian slapped his folding fan with a look of annoyance and addressed the four people in front of him, "You guys wait here, I'm going to chase down Brother Lin."

After that, Fang Ziqian hurriedly set off in the direction Lin Qian had gone.

Although Lin Qian wasn't flying, his speed was still extremely fast, and it wasn't long before he'd left the cliff area and entered the forested waters between the two states.

However, he was now looking at Yu Wanli, who stood in front of him covered in blood, with a helpless expression, his gaze wary.

At this moment, only Zhao Zhili and Yu Wanyu, who were also injured, were by Yu Wanli's side; the others had disappeared without a trace. And when surrounded by the fierce Soldiers of the Dynasty, those who had fallen to Lin Qian were inevitable.

"We were suddenly ambushed, and only the three of us survived. Then you suddenly appeared again to save us, for the second time... it's a bit too coincidental, don't you think? Maybe all of this was arranged by you, meticulously planning to infiltrate us?" Yu Wanli yelled at Lin Qian, looking ready to fight for his life at any moment.

Next to him, Zhao Zhili and Yu Wanyu both looked at Lin Qian with apologetic faces, unsure of what to say.

In fact, even they were feeling a bit shaken inside. Could it be that Lin Qian really was a man of the Dynasty, intentionally staging all this to blend in among them?

"Yu Wanli, what are you doing!" Just then, an angry shout rang out from the side.
