Chapter 5: An Emperor Awaits You
Flying over three thousand miles, they arrived at a place known as the Filth Codex. At the edge, battles were raging, yet Killer God Bai Qi paid no heed. He unleashed a powerful punch towards a densely populated area of Filth below.
In an instant, it seemed as if the sea within a hundred-mile radius vanished, revealing countless wriggling creatures on the ground, moving helplessly like worms.
Although the 'sea' here was only about fifty meters high, at its center emerged a massive jumping insect, roughly two thousand meters in diameter.
This must be the so-called Corrupted Mother.
However, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun paid it no mind; instead, they swung their swords.
Lian Yun and Xiao Jun each took a semicircular path, advancing at maximum speed to hunt down the edge-dwelling Filth Bugs while simultaneously pushing back the surrounding 'sea,' effectively maintaining the battlefield for Killer God Bai Qi within that hundred-mile radius.
They also positioned themselves at the battlefield's edge to prevent being caught in the attacks from Bai Qi and the Corrupted Mother.
Yet, with a circular perimeter stretching over three hundred miles, maintaining such an expansive battlefield was no small feat. Despite Lian Yun and Xiao Jun's swift movements, it was challenging to keep the entire area contained in a circular formation.
Nevertheless, their speed was commendable; exerting themselves fully prevented any significant breaches or floods from occurring. The battlefield instead took on an ever-rotating elliptical shape.
However, this left Lian Yun and Xiao Jun with little energy to focus on Killer God Bai Qi's battle.
Still, both could sense that Killer God Bai Qi was somewhat restrained. He pushed some Filth Bugs toward the battlefield's edge but simultaneously expected them to eliminate more Filth than he could manage alone.
The fight did not last long—about ten minutes—and afterward, Killer God Bai Qi swiftly took Lian Yun and Xiao Jun into the air toward their next destination.
This left behind a stunned Peerless Monarch.
Killer God Bai Qi's combat showed no signs of pause. Upon reaching another densely populated area of Filth, he similarly struck out across a hundred-mile radius before heading into the center to confront the Corrupted Mother. Meanwhile, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun were tasked with maintaining the integrity of the battle zone.
There was hardly any time for rest; after finishing one location, they immediately rushed to the next.
Thus, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun could only rely on the Diamond Spirit Coin and Mental Potion provided by the God of Killing to quickly recover their spiritual energy and Mental Power during their journey.
To be honest, it would have been no problem for Lian Yun and Xiao Jun to continue fighting for three months. However, with three months of full-throttle effort, pushing their abilities to the limit was somewhat taxing given their current capabilities.
Yet, Killer God Bai Qi showed no concern for their condition. For three months, he had not paused for even a moment.
Before a month had passed, Lian Yun lost track of how many places they had visited. He didn't even have the time or mood to check on his own gains.
Both he and Xiao Jun focused entirely on recovery while flying, and when they stopped, they engaged in fierce battles.
In those three months, they nearly traversed the entire polluted realm, encountering many Peerless Monarchs. They even returned to two of Lian Yun's original battle zones.
However, they did not encounter any other Half Emperors.
After three months, Bai Qi dropped Lian Yun and Xiao Jun onto an island before leaving. It was then that Lian Yun heard in his heart: "Go to Li Si to claim your reward."
Once they landed, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun sat down cross-legged to recuperate. It was only at this point that Lian Yun began to ponder some questions.
Although he hadn’t calculated in detail earlier, now that they had stopped, Lian Yun could make a rough estimate based on his memory.
The result of his calculations indicated that his earnings from three months of fighting amounted to approximately three hundred billion. Adding Bai Qi's reward brought it to four hundred billion.
Four hundred billion in three months was undoubtedly a terrifying figure.
However, Lian Yun thought about how if he hadn’t made any trades with the Insect Emperor and others, he would currently possess over six hundred billion.
Moreover, if he hadn’t traded with Insect Emperor III and the others, would Bai Qi have taken him along for six months? Then he could have reached a trillion by that time.
Considering this, could it be seen as a special favor, a unique attention from the Emperor?
Allowing oneself to leave Yin Yang City.
However, this left Lian Yun somewhat confused.
If the Emperor's special attention was meant to make Lian Yun a powerful force within the filthy realm of Yin Yang City, that was something Lian Yun could understand.
But if all this care was merely to help Lian Yun leave Yin Yang City, then Lian Yun truly couldn't comprehend the reasoning behind it.
Why?
Lian Yun shook his head, puzzled and unable to think deeply about it.
………………
Due to Bai Qi's efforts in reorganizing the entire filthy realm, many Peerless Monarchs temporarily lost their battlegrounds. As a result, most of the Peerless Monarchs returned to the Twelve Cities. A few remained on the islands.
Among all the Peerless Monarchs, Zhang Yilian felt the most lost and frustrated.
This was simply because the entire filthy realm had been thrown into chaos by Bai Qi, rendering the information he had previously gathered worthless.
Although new Filth gathering places would eventually emerge, or new Corrupted Mothers would appear, that would require him to explore anew.
However, since many had lost their battlegrounds, in the absence of direct intelligence from Zhang Yilian, they too would venture into the filthy realm in search of suitable fighting grounds for themselves.
Thus, for some time to come, Zhang Yilian not only needed to find a suitable combat area for himself but also had to engage in continuous battles.
It might take three to five years before things could return to their former state.
Compared to before, the Insect Emperor had returned, but his expression remained largely unchanged. Perhaps it was because his territory, the Filth Bug domain, was devoid of the Corrupted Mother and had not been cleansed. Due to the presence of Insect Qi, even in its current state, few were willing to venture there for battle.
There was also an unwritten rule: a person's territory was considered their exclusive area.
For instance, nearly all Peerless Monarchs knew that the Filth Bug domain was where the Insect Emperor often resided; it belonged exclusively to him.
This unnecessary enmity meant that even if one or two individuals wanted to engage in battle at the Insect Emperor's location, they would think twice before actually going.
Even Zhang Yilian and Fang Wu would likely have to notify the Insect Emperor and obtain his consent before they could set off.
Lian Yun, however, no longer needed to worry about this. He had recently acquired two hundred billion, bringing his total to three hundred billion after receiving rewards.
Yet Lian Yun did not rush to return anything to Insect Emperor III; he intended to keep three hundred billion for Lin Xiaoyao, hoping it would allow him to return in time for Grandma's Birthday Banquet.
However, when Lian Yun went to see Li Si, he was informed, "An emperor wishes to see you."
Not a king or majesty, but an emperor. This indicated that the person wanting to meet him was not Qin Shi Huang, leaving Lian Yun feeling perplexed and shocked.
