Chapter 79: Half Emperor and the Killer God Bai Qi
Although Lian Yun could disregard the attitudes of others, he found it difficult to accept such unexpected gains. For a moment, he hesitated to reach out and accept the gifts from the Peerless Monarchs around him, both from Huaxia and abroad.
It was the Insect Emperor who waved his hand, tossing all the items into a spatial ring produced by Fang Wu, then handed it to Lian Yun with a somewhat cheeky grin. "Here you go. Consider this my contribution to your collection of gifts. Don’t worry about it; your skills will undoubtedly benefit them greatly, especially since you'll have plenty of time to recuperate after returning to battle."
"Besides, these items are optional for them; you deserve to take them without hesitation."
Lian Yun nodded in gratitude and accepted the spatial ring, then declared loudly, "I am Bai Yun, and I thank all of you for your generosity."
No one responded directly; his words seemed to vanish into thin air.
However, Lian Yun did not mind this at all. He then looked at the Insect Emperor with curiosity and asked, "Senior, why is it that everyone else is fine, yet you’ve turned yourself into this?"
"Isn't it because Old Bug here values money over life?" Bald Giant Fang Wu teased.
Zhang Yilian chuckled amiably and added, "At first, I was puzzled as to why Old Bug had just freed himself yet was recklessly hunting those Filth Bugs. It turns out he had friends to assist him."
"Hey! Those Filth Bugs are densely packed, slow-moving, and offer high rewards. If not them, then what should we hunt?"
"The Insect Qi that spills out after killing Filth Bugs is something even Half Emperors would hesitate to provoke. So Old Bug, you really are prioritizing money over your life!"
"But—"
Zhang Yilian and Fang Wu both stared intently at Lian Yun.
If Lian Yun could help eliminate the Insect Qi, they too would want to hunt those Filth Bugs. This clearly indicated that the rewards for hunting Filth Bugs held extraordinary allure for the Peerless Monarchs.
However, the Insect Emperor's expression turned serious as he pondered, "Young one, without absolute Peerless Monarch strength, you must not venture into that space."
Lian Yun blinked innocently, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded helplessly.
He had initially wanted the Insect Emperor to take him to hunt the so-called Filth Bug. With the Insect Emperor by his side, he believed that they could face the Insect Qi without fear and that it would allow him to fight more freely. Not only could Lian Yun gain Purple Qi, but he could also accumulate experience in hunting Filth earlier.
However, sensing the hostility from all over Moscow City, he realized that although many foreign Peerless Monarchs had given him "gifts," it was merely based on their reputation and the fundamental ethics of martial arts, not because they thought highly of him.
If he rashly ventured into that world, he would undoubtedly be hunted by foreign Peerless Experts and even attacked by Demigod-level masters.
Even if a Half Emperor from Huaxia came to his aid, there was a possibility that he would end up with no place to be buried.
With a sigh, Lian Yun could only give up reluctantly!
Before long, Lian Yun extracted one-third of the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy and meticulously arranged thousands of Spiritual Power Greatswords behind him. The scars on the Insect Emperor's body had completely healed, and he could expel the remaining Insect Qi himself.
Thus, Lian Yun withdrew and stood aside.
After a moment of silence, the Insect Emperor did not expel the remaining Insect Qi from his body but instead turned to face the center of the imperial city.
Fang Wu suddenly asked, "Since you do not possess a Soul Gear, would you like me to help you forge one?"
It seemed Fang Wu was also an extremely skilled Blacksmith; however, Lian Yun replied without hesitation, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I would prefer to forge my own Soul Gear. I am currently learning Forging Technique."
"Uh... However, if you have any tips or experiences in forging Soul Gear, I would greatly appreciate your guidance."
"Very well. I will also need your assistance in the future." With that, Fang Wu directly handed him three books.
Lian Yun felt a surge of joy as he accepted the book and said, "I will certainly give it my all."
At that moment, Zhang Yilian added, "It seems that when others gift Soul Material, even if it has attributes, it won't be of much use. I will gather some high-quality materials and ask friends for help."
"I will certainly give it my all."
Suddenly, Lian Yun became curious about the task rewards for hunting those so-called Filth Bugs. It was intriguing that both of these individuals—one appearing calm and the other seemingly carefree—were so eager.
Just then, six spatial portals appeared in the Sky Above. As soon as the portals manifested, Lian Yun felt the air around him thicken significantly, and six overwhelming presences descended.
Under the weight of these six presences, some Initial Monarchs around him bent their knees but did not fully kneel, while Medium Monarchs also bowed slightly, as if compelled to pay their respects.
"Ah, remarkable! You are truly a once-in-a-thousand-years talent," Zhang Yilian exclaimed, observing Lian Yun's serious expression yet upright posture. Even the Thousand Swords behind him remained steady.
Lian Yun smiled humbly but said nothing.
In his heart, he thought that the aura of these Six Half Emperors seemed almost ten times stronger than that of the Azure Dragon, who was undoubtedly an existence at the Emperor level. Perhaps the Azure Dragon was not just any ordinary Emperor.
Unlike humans from Huaxia or abroad, all members of the Three Major Troops within the royal city bowed down regardless of their rank and spoke in unison: "We pay our respects to the Prince of the Guardian, Prince of the Realm, Azure Dragon Prince, White Tiger Prince, Vermilion Bird Prince, and Black Tortoise Prince."
"All Half Emperors are Princes. These six gentlemen are all loyal to the Emperor and hold actual military power. In another space, there are five more Half Emperors; however, they do not have the right to participate in this Dungeon," Insect Emperor seemed to be addressing Lian Yun specifically.
The implication was clear: Lian Yun need not worry about these Six Half Emperors taking action against him.
Elder Mei smiled and said, "Jun is also here for the first time, so let me give you a detailed introduction!"
"The Prince of the Guardian was originally Killer God Bai Qi, who was highly favored by the Emperor. It is rumored that the Emperor often says that if Bai Qi had not died back then, he could have unified the realm with Bai Qi's assistance, perhaps ten years earlier."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yun couldn't help but look up at an old man in plain clothes. His entire Soul Body seemed almost tangible, appearing like a Black person, yet his features were distinctly Eastern.
Bai Qi seemed to sense something and turned to glance at Lian Yun.
That single glance made Lian Yun's body go rigid.
To be honest, Bai Qi was known as the God of Killing, but to Lian Yun, he exuded an aura that felt like a neighborly uncle. However, that gaze contained a dense killing intent that Lian Yun had never felt before.
If a sword has Sword Intent, then killing also has its own intent.
This was a person who dared to slaughter all living beings beneath the heavens.
The killing aura seemed to affect those around Lian Yun as well; Elder Mei could no longer smile and stopped introducing Lian Yun.
