Chapter 6: Enfeoffment as Emperor
Upon learning about the situation in Yan, Lian Yun couldn't help but sigh.
He understood that Su Fang had not completely lost her sanity; otherwise, she would have attacked both Yan and Le along with Yang Zai Xing.
Her madness was driven by her desire for Big Head, the child she had forced into her life.
If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly have Su Fang continuously participate in such Dungeons, as the constant explosions from Nine Ghosts brought in rewards that could rival Lian Yun's Silver Dragon Armor. In this Year Beast Dungeon alone, Su Fang could bring Lian Yun around twenty thousand Supreme Treasure Boxes.
With Yang Zai Xing's attacks added in, thirty thousand Supreme Treasure Boxes were not out of reach.
However, Lian Yun felt a mix of joy and concern. The joy came from the fact that Su Fang still retained a shred of rationality. Yet both Yan and Lian Yun did not want to let Su Fang participate in this Dungeon any longer; they didn't want her to fight unless it was a matter of life and death.
Moreover, outside the Dungeon, in Yin-Yang City and the Twelve Cities, especially the Huaxia Four Cities.
At that moment, the people of the Four Cities were utterly shocked.
Many knew that due to the presence of Silver Dragon Armor, each Peerless Monarch could exhibit tenfold or even more combat power.
However, at that moment, the Champion Rankings showed that Lian Yun and Xiao Jun's data bars were a hundred times that of the third place. Meanwhile, the Insect Emperor's team was only ten times that of second place.
This indicated that the actual combat power of the Insect Emperor's team was nearly ten times that of the other Peerless Monarch teams.
Everyone believed that with Lian Yun and Xiao Jun on their side, the Insect Emperor's team would surely be able to defeat the Year Beast BSS.
However, as the second round began, the data bar representing the Insect Emperor's team came to a standstill. After several moments passed, people noticed a slight increase in Lian Yun's data bar while the Insect Emperor's team remained almost imperceptibly stagnant.
This indicated that neither the Insect Emperor nor Xiao Jun was engaged in battle anymore.
What was happening? The attacks were so fierce that they seemed to have caused serious injuries. This was the thought of everyone present.
Then some began to speculate that the Insect Emperor and Xiao Jun must be healing. Lian Yun had sustained lighter injuries, so he was the one taking down the Ordinary Year Beast.
Everyone had been waiting for the Insect Emperor's team to make a move in the third round, but when it came, the situation mirrored that of the second round; neither of the two showed any intention of attacking, while Lian Yun seemed solely focused on clearing the Ordinary Year Beast.
Even so, the other teams from Peerless Monarch were still unable to surpass the Insect Emperor's team, which left most people feeling disappointed.
If Lian Yun and Xiao Jun were unable to defeat Year Beast BSS, then truly no one would have the capability to do so.
Not only now, but it seemed that in the future, no one would possess such ability either.
However, by the end of the third round, once the event concluded, Lian Yun and his companions finally heard the announcement they had been hoping for, while those outside wore expressions of disbelief.
"Flattery Edict: The Emperor decrees that during this Annual Meeting, an unprecedented event occurred with the defeat of Year Beast. The Emperor is greatly pleased. Therefore, Song Tong is appointed as Thunder Emperor, Bai Yun as Cloud Emperor, and Xiao Jun as Sword Sovereign, enjoying treatment equivalent to that of a royal lord. Additionally, an Imperial City Mansion is awarded, along with three hundred servants, fifty guards, and the ability to cultivate a Private Army of three thousand. One million Diamond Spirit Coins are granted. Thus decreed!"
"What? Defeated? What’s going on? An Imperial City Mansion? What kind of reward is this for a Private Army of three thousand?"
In Twelve Cities, countless people were left bewildered.
Yet many wise individuals couldn't help but exclaim, "So it turns out that Insect Emperor III had already defeated Year Beast BSS when they were in first place; they just couldn’t come out yet because the event wasn’t over."
"But what exactly is this so-called Three Thousand Private Troops?"
To be honest, Insect Emperor, Lian Yun, and Xiao Jun were all somewhat puzzled. However, before they could ponder further, Insect Emperor grumbled unhappily, "Damn it! My rewards as Peerless Monarch are actually the same as you two brats. Can’t I get a little more? At least show that I’m the leader!"
"The Emperor decrees in your name; isn’t that enough to show you’re the leader?" Lian Yun replied with a slight smile.
"Hmph~~" Insect Emperor huffed, still quite displeased.
Lian Yun could only shake his head at the situation. The three of them then left the Dungeon and made their way to the square outside.
Upon seeing Lian Yun, the entire city fell silent.
After waiting for a while, when Qin Kui emerged, the Insect Emperor immediately asked, "Qin Kui, you are also a titled prince; do you know what is going on with the Three Thousand Private Troops?"
There was no overt sarcasm or boasting in his tone, but there was an undeniable sense of pride.
Having no fear to begin with, now that they held equal status, his authority in Yin Yang City was on par with Qin Kui's, so he was not intimidated by Qin Kui's attempts to assert dominance through his title.
"I remember when the Qin Emperor conferred titles back in the day; there were no Private Armies, just an Imperial Edict!" An older Monarch in the distance couldn't help but interject before quickly disappearing into the crowd.
This was due to the sudden surge of murderous intent emanating from Qin Kui's eyes.
As for old grudges, Lian Yun naturally wouldn't question Qin Kui about them. Instead, he said, "I'll go ask Lord Li!"
Without even glancing back at Qin Kui, he directly teleported to Xianyang City.
As Lian Yun walked along the street, every guard he passed stopped and bowed their heads respectfully, saying, "We greet the Cloud Emperor."
Even after Lian Yun had walked far away.
When he met Li Si again, Li Si could no longer regard Lian Yun as a junior; instead, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply, saying, "I am Li Si, paying my respects to the Cloud Emperor."
"Senior, what is this~~" Lian Yun was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "How about treating me as you did before?"
"That cannot be! Now that you hold such a high position as a prince, how can I~~"
"Then let me make a bold request. Let's treat each other as equals and I shall call you Brother Li. How does that sound?"
Perhaps Li Si adhered to tradition and the hierarchy of nobility, but Lian Yun did not care for such conventions. After all, Li Si had provided him with considerable assistance, and he could not tolerate Li Si's subservient demeanor.
After a moment of silence, Li Si nodded and said, "It is indeed my shamelessness. From now on, let me be known as Cloud Emperor to you, Yun Di."
"That sounds excellent, Brother Li. I came here to inquire about what the so-called Three Thousand Private Troops means, and given my current status, I should be able to learn the conditions for leaving Yin Yang City, right?"
"That is indeed the case."
"The term private troops refers to personal military forces. First, you recruit soldiers, and then you use your own wealth to train them. From that point on, you can command them to do your bidding. For example, if you establish a Fortress, you would have Three Thousand Private Military Forces without having to pay Mercenary fees. Moreover, the gains from these private troops count as your personal income."
"In summary, it is akin to having your own Personal Slave."
"The only condition is that you can only recruit from Yin Yang City's Three Major Troops, and it must be voluntary on the part of the soldiers. Generally speaking, you would need to present corresponding conditions to attract enough Three Thousand soldiers to pledge their loyalty to you."
One could imagine that if Xianjian Sect were to recruit Three Thousand Top Emperors, then during the next High Emperor Beast Tide, Xianjian Sect might not even need Fengfeng Mountain; they would be fully capable of defending themselves.
Lian Yun was not particularly concerned about this; he nodded and looked seriously at Li Qing. What followed was what mattered most to him.
