The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1450 - 1451: Shadows

Capítulo 1450: Chapter 1451: Shadows

After the Liu family disciples hurriedly ran away, Lin Qian looked at Luo Han: “Mr. Han, is there still more to this story?”

Luo Han waved his hand, looking at Lin Qian: “Not worth mentioning, it was those people from the Cold Mountain Sect who went too far and angered me genuinely. Do you think I’m a bloodthirsty person?”

“I am an Empire’s ruler, expanding territories. The souls that have died because of me are probably more than you’ve ever seen. Do you think I’d find you bloodthirsty?”

“But speaking of which, daring to provoke the people of Sakura Villa, they sure have guts.” Lin Qian chuckled, shaking his head as he continued to walk forward.

Luo Han followed closely, snorting twice: “My youngest sister is kind by nature, not like a typical proud young lady. They thought she was a maid from a small place.”

“They acted without confirming first?” Lin Qian seemed to understand, suddenly speaking, “Or did someone indeed confirm that your youngest sister was truly a maid?”

Luo Han’s expression stiffened slightly, immediately understanding the meaning behind Lin Qian’s words.

Back then, his youngest sister didn’t truly suffer a loss; after his anger, he went on a killing spree to vent, which was considered revenge.

So he didn’t think too deeply about it all.

Though the matter happened long ago, now thinking back on it, Luo Han noticed something amiss.

It was indeed too coincidental at that time.

In such a setting, for people of the Cold Mountain Sect to be so reckless and dare to do such things was really suspicious.

“If someone was manipulating things from behind and doing dirty tricks, what could they be plotting?” Luo Han frowned, utterly confused.

If the other party truly did that, it seemed they wouldn’t gain any benefits.

“Didn’t Sakura Villa offer any compensation to the Cold Mountain Sect afterward?” after thinking, Lin Qian suddenly asked.

Luo Han shook his head: “Compensation, they even dared to ask for it?”

“You could say, those who harassed your sister were just a few, but you killed eighty thousand people, you would have to give an account, wouldn’t you?” Lin Qian said, looking at Luo Han, “Otherwise, Sakura Villa might get a bad reputation on the Central World Star.”

Luo Han was silent, pondering for a moment, suddenly realizing: “So that’s how it is, no wonder the birthday gift we gave to the Cold Mountain Sect Master was so generous.”

Lin Qian remained silent: “If it were just that, it shouldn’t be, as the Cold Mountain Sect would benefit from it.”

“Could it be to force me into the God Valley trial?” Suddenly, Luo Han’s expression changed slightly, raising his head.

Seeing Luo Han say this, Lin Qian looked over: “What do you mean?”

“Initially, I wouldn’t have come to the God Valley trial, but my father mentioned that I should go once, otherwise, within the villa, there would be opinions against our line.” Luo Han frowned, his face darkening, “At that time, I didn’t understand why entering God Valley would matter.”

“Now I understand, my father wanted me to enter God Valley to bring back enough heavenly treasures to compensate the Cold Mountain Sect.”

“I was shocked at the time by the heavy gift for the Cold Mountain Sect Master’s birthday, a full ten pounds of Celestial Earth Soil!” Luo Han took a deep breath, slowly speaking, “This Celestial Earth Soil is used for cultivating the Heavenly Sakura Wood within Sakura Villa.”

“I’m afraid this compensation, to avoid a bad reputation, my grandfather paid this Celestial Earth Soil and did not tell me so that I wouldn’t have a burden.” Speaking of which, Luo Han’s expression grew even colder, “Father knew this, so he made me enter God Valley but didn’t spell it out.”

“In Sakura Villa, are there different factions?” Lin Qian asked.

“Yes, my grandfather’s line is currently in charge. The villa is divided into seven factions, representing seven different array schools.”

“It seems like there is an insider within Sakura Villa, this mastermind needs only one faction’s support within the villa to stir things, dissatisfied with the Celestial Earth Soil compensation, affecting your Heavenly Sakura Wood.” Lin Qian said, “In this way, they can invisibly force you into God Valley.”

“But what can be done once I’m in God Valley?” Luo Han shook his head, not quite grasping it, “Though I am the Young Manor Master, everyone knows the heir of Sakura Villa is the Vice Manor Master, my father. Even if I’m killed in the valley, it makes no difference.”

“My father is in his prime, and having descendants wouldn’t be difficult.”

Luo Han truly could not figure it out.

“No need to overthink, just take it step by step.” Lin Qian waved his hand, continuing to head in the agreed direction.

Nearby, Luo Han chuckled bitterly: “I didn’t expect that I’d have quite a bit of trouble too, afraid to drag you into it.”

“The Liu family probably is also involved.” Lin Qian suddenly spoke up, explaining, “That Liu family disciple just now was only probing. If he were truly targeting me, he wouldn’t have looked at me only thirteen times but glanced at you forty-two times.”

“Hmm?” Luo Han was surprised, was there such a detailed difference in the looks they received from the other party?

“My soul is rather strong, I noticed them hiding around early on. And he followed us, most of the time watching you, so that Liu family disciple was actually coming for you.” Lin Qian said, looking ahead, “Originally planning to help the Yuan family, aside from this Liu family.”

“Since we are fated and share tempers, helping solve your troubles isn’t out of the question.”

Luo Han secretly shook his head, not as optimistic as Lin Qian: “If they truly intend to target, things probably won’t be so simple.”

“In fact, my greatest concern is their multitude.”

“Sometimes, numbers don’t solve problems.” Lin Qian chuckled, glancing at Luo Han, “I have too much experience with being outnumbered to bully others, so handling it won’t be an issue.”

Luo Han raised an eyebrow, not thinking much of it.

Along the journey, there were no hidden Beast Villa people, and the two began encountering the soul beasts of this God Valley.

The combat power of God Valley soul beasts was generally much stronger than those outside, though not overwhelmingly so.

Lin Qian and Luo Han, being formidable individuals, managed along the way with ease.

Upon reaching the predetermined location, Zhuge Ming had already been waiting there.

“Your Majesty!” Seeing Lin Qian arrive, Zhuge Ming quickly saluted.

“No need for formalities.” Lin Qian nodded.

Zhuge Ming looked up, glancing at Luo Han beside him: “Your Majesty, and this is?”

“An acquaintance, Young Manor Master of Sakura Villa, Luo Han.” Lin Qian said, and looked at Zhuge Ming, “Sakura Villa is a renowned array family on this Central World Star.”

With Lin Qian’s explanation, Zhuge Ming instantly understood, quickly stepping forward to salute Luo Han and began discussing arrays with him.

The exchange with the young master of the renowned array family would undoubtedly deepen the understanding of Ancient Era arrays.
