The Peerless Emperor

Chapter 84: Chapter 85: Nightfall

“Bait?” Everyone looked at Lin Qian in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.

“At night, zombies are said to become active, but we know nothing about it. As dusk falls, we’ll hide in the dark, letting this guy stay in the open so we can observe his interactions with the zombies,” Lin Qian pointed at Fu Heng, who was tied up on the ground with the Binding Rope, and explained.

After hearing what Lin Qian said, Fu Heng on the ground showed a look of terror.

He also knew that the Dead Land was infested with zombies, and if they really followed Lin Qian’s plan, he would have only one way out—death.@@novelbin@@

Moreover, the secret technique on his body could only affect zombies, what use would that be?

“Lin Qian, how cruel you are, how despicable!” Fu Heng twisted on the ground, cursing continuously at Lin Qian.

Fu Heng’s curses made Lin Qian laugh, “Cruel, despicable? If we had really let you succeed from the beginning, what would have become of us!”

Lin Qian still remembered clearly the wild and fierce look on Fu Heng’s face earlier, how could he possibly let him go easily?

Although Lin Qian wasn’t one to kill innocents indiscriminately, he absolutely wouldn’t go easy on someone like Fu Heng, who had once tried to put him to death.

Bang!

At that moment, Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei, two men, suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Lin Qian, “Fu Heng has power and influence in the Divine Sword Sect, we had no choice but to obey his orders, please spare us.”

Lin Qian turned around, saw Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei kneeling on the ground, and scoffed, “Spare you two, no problem, but do you think just kneeling down will suffice to redeem your lives?”

Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei exchanged glances, then took out their storage bags, offering them up with both hands.

Lin Qian grabbed the two storage bags, and after inspecting them, found various items inside.

Soul Crystals, Elemental Artifact Hearts, Elemental Components, some Pills, and a few Divine Sword Sect scriptures.

Clearly, the contents of these two storage bags represented all of Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei’s possessions.

“Not bad, quite sincere,” Lin Qian nodded in approval, took out the scriptures, and sent them to the Huaxia Empire after the Sky Trace.

Then, Lin Qian threw the Elemental Artifact Hearts and Elemental Components back to Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei, “Later, I’ll send someone to escort you out of here. Go through Dead Tree Forest and continue participating in the Middle Ages ruins’ trial.”

“This…” Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei were both surprised as they looked at Lin Qian, obviously not expecting him to return the Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts.

Without those Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts, it would be impossible to use the Elemental Weapon Armament. Their combat abilities would be greatly reduced. Even if they managed to leave alive, not being able to use the Elemental Weapon Armament would make it difficult to achieve anything later on.

“In this Dead Land, I don’t want to see you again. If I find out you’ve secretly come back…” Lin Qian said, his expression growing stern as he stared at Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei, “Otherwise, I won’t show mercy.”

Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei nodded continuously. After Lin Qian took out all the items from the storage bags, he tossed the empty bags back to the two.

They carefully stored the Elemental Artifact Hearts and Elemental Components, and then followed a Swift Soldier’s lead towards the direction of Dead Tree Forest, preparing to leave.

Lin Qian distributed the obtained Soul Crystals and Pills to everyone.

“What now?” Ye Xin, looking disgustedly at Fu Heng on the ground, came up to Lin Qian and asked.

Lin Qian instructed a Swift Soldier to carry the bound Fu Heng, pointing towards the various buildings of the ruins ahead, “There are so many relics here, of course, we have to explore them one by one.”

The crowd, in a great mood, followed Lin Qian and started searching through the other buildings.

As the search area expanded, Lin Qian gradually discovered that the buildings here were not only residences for disciples. Rather, various other functional Sect buildings also existed in this place.

“Looking at this, it might be that something encountered by the ancient Sect in the past caused many Sect buildings to collapse into this Small World.” After observing for a long time, Ye Xin spoke to Lin Qian beside her.

Lin Qian silently nodded, looking at these ruins. Judging from these remaining Sect buildings, this ancient Sect must have been extremely powerful.

And such a formidable Sect, what kind of incident had it encountered to end up in this state?

Thinking over and over, Lin Qian could not figure out the reason, and he continued searching the Dead Land’s buildings with Ye Xin and the others.

As time passed, Lin Qian and his group found great success; they not only discovered a place storing Pills but also found an ancient Sect’s library that stored books.

The library storing books was completely taken by Lin Qian alone and sent to the Huaxia Empire after Sky Trace.

However, the others had no complaints; without Lin Qian, they would have been killed by Fu Heng long ago.

Moreover, for the Pills discovered, Lin Qian took only one of each type, letting the others share the rest.

“This really is a bountiful harvest, to think there were Upper B pills in this place!” Zhao Haiming exclaimed, patting the area where he kept his storage bag, overwhelmed with emotions.

In the entire Coastal State, not to mention Upper B, even Middle B Pills were extremely rare.

And this time, in the ruins where the Pills were stored, they discovered a hundred Upper B Pills, indicating a vast fortune.

“If we hand these Pills over to the Sect, the contribution points we could exchange would be unimaginable,” Lei Qian, also nodding continuously, added.

Lin Qian, however, was not concerned about these Pills; after all, what kind of Potion or material did the Huaxia Empire lack?

As long as the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire analyzed the components and effects of the Pills, they were sure to develop even more sophisticated potions.

To Lin Qian, the real immense gain was still in those books.

Because he believed, the collision of the knowledge from this world with that of the Huaxia Empire would certainly yield different results.

Fu Heng, being carried by Swift Soldiers, looked resentfully at Lin Qian and the others, who were chatting and laughing.

“All of this, it should have been mine, all mine!”

However, no matter how resentful Fu Heng was, it was already too late; now tied up, what could he do?

“It’s getting dark, let’s get ready to hide,” Lin Qian said, looking at the sky, addressing everyone.

They had already chosen a hiding place earlier, which was the book tower for storing the books.

The tower was preserved very well, a full seven floors high, and soon, Lin Qian and the others reached the top floor of the book tower, arriving at the window to look down.

At this moment, on the blue stone road in front of the library, Fu Heng, bound with Binding Rope like a rice parcel, lay on the ground, twisting continuously and roaring towards Lin Qian and the others at the top of the tower.

“Lin Qian, if you have the guts, kill me with your own hands; what kind of man does this make you?”

“I’ll never let you go even as a ghost; you will meet a bad end!”

Amid Fu Heng’s curses, the night quietly fell.

Panic permeated Fu Heng’s heart.
