Chapter 19: Light Harvest
After being sent back to the city wall by Zhuang Wuxue, Lian Yun did not leave immediately. Instead, he took a moment to recover and then instructed Xiao Chengzhong to lead the Sixty Thousand Disciples back to the Xianjian Sect.
The Beast Tide had ended, and with it, the temporary sealing of various Fortresses was also coming to an end. Each Major Power needed to return to their respective Fortresses to organize their defensive structures.
Yaochi was no exception. While leaving some members behind to collect Diamond Spirit Coins from outside the city wall, the main fighting force returned to Yaochi. Lian Yun was also brought to Yaochi by Zhuang Wuxue.
Once Lian Yun had recovered, he exited Yaochi Fortress and set out towards Xianyang City to hunt Chaos Beasts.
The Eternal Emperor's additional condition was to kill Chaos Beasts within a hundred miles radius, and there were hardly any powerful Chaos Beasts within thirty miles outside the city wall.
Only in the area around a hundred miles near Yaochi Fortress were there more advanced Chaos Beasts.
Not wanting Xianyang to fall behind, Lian Yun immediately set out after his injuries healed, without bothering to check on Qin Kui's situation.
There was really no need for him to do so.
As long as he knew that after realizing he was still alive, Qin Kui did not continue to attack him, Lian Yun understood that Qin Kui only had one chance to avoid punishment from Yin Yang City. Therefore, within the stipulated range, Qin Kui would not attack him again.
However, there were not many powerful Chaos Beasts within a hundred miles outside the city gate. So after spending some time in an area filled with King's Peak Chaos Soul Beasts, Lian Yun waited until the moment he confirmed his ranking before teleporting back to Xianyang City through Yaochi Fortress.
He then realized that his previous concerns were somewhat unnecessary.
Indeed, Yin Yang City intended to send an entire city into battle against the Chaos Beasts, but this did not include cities with Demigod Experts. Among them, there were only nine Half Emperors at liberty, which meant that nine cities had no worries about their safety.
This indicated that only three cities needed to compete fiercely to ensure that their own city would not fall behind.
None of these three cities are among the Huaxia Four Cities.
After understanding this situation, Lian Yun let out a slight sigh of relief.
In the current ranking of the Twelve Cities, Luoyang City ranked first. This was somewhat understandable, considering that the Xianjian Sect was the leading force, specializing in sword techniques and focusing on offensive power. With the presence of Qiu ChujI, Elder Mei, and Xiao Jun—three formidable Peerless Monarchs—and the sixty thousand elite disciples trained by Lian Yun in swordsmanship, it was no surprise that Luoyang City emerged as the strongest city among the Twelve Cities.
Moreover, the Xi Men Family was also quite powerful.
In this context, it was only natural for Luoyang City to be recognized as the most powerful city among the Twelve Cities.
However, Lian Yun was somewhat surprised to find Xianyang City ranked second.
Upon hearing that he had survived Qin Kui's attack without any life-threatening injuries, the Insect Emperor displayed an expression of sheer joy. He then risked everything to venture out of the city to hunt Chaos Beasts, which ultimately contributed to Xianyang City's second-place ranking.
Yet, he still remained second on the Xianyang City Ranking List.
This made Lian Yun feel a bit awkward when he returned to the city and encountered the Insect Emperor, who looked at him with eyes full of resentment.
To be honest, Qin Kui's shamelessness and lack of boundaries were unforgivable. However, at times, the Insect Emperor's own shamelessness and lack of boundaries gave off a strangely endearing vibe.
Originally, he had intended to take advantage of Lian Yun's injury to claim first place. Unexpectedly, despite risking his life, he still couldn't surpass Lian Yun. Now he appeared somewhat pitiful as he gazed at Lian Yun with a resentful expression.
This situation indeed had a hint of cuteness to it.
However, the Insect Emperor's brooding gaze was hard to bear. After enduring his resentful stare for a while, Lian Yun finally said helplessly, "You can have my reward for ranking; it's yours!"
"Eh~~ This isn't very good!"
The Insect Emperor's words were completely at odds with his expression. While he spoke with a hint of restraint, his face was filled with joy, and his eyebrows bounced as if to say, "If you dare to go back on your word, you'll regret it."
Lian Yun nodded helplessly, unsure of what to do.
"Fine, I won't be polite with you. Whenever you want to deal with that scoundrel Qin Kui, just let me know."
This was perhaps the charming side of the Insect Emperor. Although he shamelessly asked Lian Yun for resources frequently, he had never done so without a reason.
Facing Qin Kui essentially meant confronting one of the two Major Powers in Chang'an City, and there was no telling if the Heroic Hall would intervene. So it was understandable that the Insect Emperor requested a reward of around a hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins in advance.
Lian Yun nodded in agreement, somewhat casually, his gaze turning slightly cold.
To be honest, he had considered the possibility that Qin Kui might attack him, but he didn't believe that Qin Kui would lower himself to ambush him.
However, it was undeniable that some people, even at the level of Peerless Monarch, had no sense of bottom line. Given the current situation where they were openly declared enemies, he felt no need to show any courtesy towards Qin Kui. Perhaps he could even take some proactive measures.
Next, Lian Yun began to sort through the gains from this Beast Tide.
First were the spoils from the hunt; the amount of White Spirit Coins allocated to Lian Yun was astronomical, reaching trillions—a staggering sum indeed. However, Lian Yun didn't take any for himself and instead gave everything to Yaochi, only keeping some Soul Material for himself.
In return, Yaochi naturally reciprocated by giving all the Soul Material to Lian Yun.
The first place reward, combined with ten percent from the imperial decree and an additional three percent from second place, allowed Lian Yun to receive nearly two hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins.
This made the Insect Emperor, despite being a Peerless Monarch, who seemed to have never seen such wealth, burst into joyous laughter. His hearty chuckles echoed throughout Xianyang City.
Afterward, Lian Yun approached Li Qing to claim the rewards for two missions.
For the "Kill More, Earn More" mission, Li Qing handed Lian Yun nearly seven hundred million contribution points, which made Lian Yun unavoidably happy. The distance to the hundred billion mark was now not far off. If he took on a hunting mission in Handan City and fought outside the city for a month, it might just be enough to purchase a Duke Title.
The reward for the subsequent slaying mission was particularly special.
Originally, the reward for killing one beast was five thousand Diamond Spirit Coins, which was already quite generous. However, with Lian Yun's identity providing about a thirty-five percent bonus and the ten percent bonus announced by Yin Yang City, Lian Yun received over seven thousand Diamond Spirit Coins for slaying a Peerless Emperor Level Chaos Soul Beast.
Lian Yun first killed eight beasts, then after a strike from a Half Emperor, he unleashed six consecutive sword strikes that took down forty-seven more beasts, and finally killed a black panther. In total, Lian Yun earned nearly four hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins.
This was why Lian Yun generously gave two hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins to the Insect Emperor.
However, beneath this reward, Li Qing presented Lian Yun with a very special exchange condition.
