The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1409 - 1410: What Place

Sure, here is the translation:

The City Lord of Mountain Sea City, captured by Lin Qian with a soul energy palm imprint and dragged to the deck, shivered uncontrollably, kneeling on the ground, not daring to look directly at the person before him.

Seeing such a weak Immortal Clan member, Lin Qian was somewhat surprised and let out a mocking laugh: "It’s strange, isn’t it? Your Immortal Clan people are always so arrogant, ignoring everyone, aren’t they?"

"Why, facing death, you are so afraid now?" Lin Qian chuckled lightly, looking at the chubby Mountain Sea City Lord in front of him.

The City Lord of Mountain Sea City before him, his aura realm was merely the Saint Realm First Level, hardly of concern.

Moreover, even though he was in the Saint Realm, his strength felt ordinary, his battle power seemed rather average, and his aura was very mediocre.

Such a person could actually sit on the position of a City Lord of an advanced city, it’s indeed quite curious.

"Living is the most important; once dead, there’s really nothing left." The chubby Mountain Sea City Lord looked at Lin Qian with a sheepish smile, "Please spare my life. I am willing to lead the way and voluntarily open the treasury of the City Lord Mansion."

"Oh?" Lin Qian looked at the chubby City Lord in front of him with some surprise, thinking the other party was quite savvy, "So straightforward, aren’t you afraid the Upper Origin Immortal Emperor might blame you later?"

"The sky is high and the Emperor is far away; whether the Upper Origin Immortal Emperor will even blame us is uncertain, and by then I won’t be with you, won’t I?" The chubby City Lord rubbed his hands, looking at Lin Qian before him, "I wonder what you think about this?"

After pondering for a while, Lin Qian thought that when it’s time to open the treasury, he would need to break the array anyway; might as well let this City Lord lead the way, as it would be more convenient.

As the advanced City Lord of the Upper Origin Immortal Country, temporarily keeping him by his side might have unexpected uses.

Having considered this, Lin Qian nodded, looking at the chubby Mountain Sea City Lord in front of him: "I agree to your request; you may stay by my side for now."

"However, you’d better be honest, otherwise your life won’t be spared." As he said this, Lin Qian’s aura enveloped the other party, emperor’s will and imperial might reaching through heaven and earth.

The Mountain Sea City Lord, upon sensing Lin Qian’s aura, got startled, prostrating on the ground, hurriedly kowtowed: "I dare not, absolutely dare not."

At this moment, he was already half scared to death by the aura from Lin Qian, as the emperor’s will from Lin Qian was terribly frightening.

Even the Upper Origin Immortal Emperor did not possess such a high prestige of aura, yet Lin Qian’s aura was so overwhelmingly strong.

"Sir, I have a small request, I wonder if you could agree to it." Afterward, the voice of the chubby City Lord sounded in Lin Qian’s ear.

Lin Qian, hearing the other’s words, was somewhat puzzled and looked over at him.

At this moment, he only felt that this person was both timid and bold. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Timid, due to the previous behavior, truly a characteristic of a timid person.

Yet now, he dared to make terms with himself, which was quite interesting.

"Speak, what is your request?" After considering for a moment, curiosity rose in Lin Qian’s heart, wanting to know what kind of request the other had.

Seeing Lin Qian agree to listen to him, the chubby City Lord cautiously spoke: "It’s like this, I’m willing to lead you to the treasury and offer it up wholeheartedly, and I also have some small vaults that I’m willing to present."

"Just, Sir, the ordinary folks in the city, let’s not disturb them, okay? They also have it tough."

The words of the chubby City Lord made Lin Qian slightly surprised, glancing at him: "Oh, the folks you speak of are the various clans living in the city, right? What does it matter to you if we rob them?"

"Well... You are also of the Human Clan, you should know that some of our Immortal Clan people are indeed arrogant and often bully them." The chubby City Lord carefully looked at Lin Qian before him, "There are Human Clan members among the city’s populace, you are also from the Human Clan, for the sake of clan kinship, let’s not make it hard for them."

Speaking, the chubby City Lord suddenly took out a Grotto Heaven Soul Device in his hand, holding it up with both hands: "Sir, this is all my belongings; it definitely won’t disappoint you. Please grant my request."

Lin Qian stood silently for quite a while before taking the Grotto Heaven Soul Device from his hands: "Okay, I grant your request."

"Thank you, Sir, thank you!" The chubby City Lord quickly kowtowed in gratitude, his face beaming with joy.

At this moment, Lin Qian also realized that the other party’s smile was truly from the heart, which somewhat moved him.

In his mind, he made some calculations.

The Emperor Battleship was heading slowly toward the city, the battle approaching its end, with the outcome already decided.

At this moment, Lin Qian stood with his hands behind his back on the deck of the Emperor Battleship, overlooking the situation below in Mountain Sea City, deep in thought.

The front end of Mountain Sea City’s walls was directly turned into ruins with a strike from Sun Wukong, but the inside of the city remained intact.

The situation within the city was also beyond Lin Qian’s expectations.

At least, the living environment for various clans in this city was vastly better than in other cities.

The buildings bright and clean, and the materials used for construction weren’t waste but new materials, making the living environment substantially better.

Moreover, on the streets, although there was a main road, when there were no Immortal Clan people, other clans could also walk on it.

This was already very inconceivable compared to other cities.

Mountain Sea City, as an advanced city, was quite large, and the southern wall’s war didn’t disturb those within the city.

Mainly because the conclusion of the war was too swift, they had no chance to transmit the news into the city.

Inside the city, the situation remained pretty much unchanged.

Only when the Emperor Battleship moved towards the city, the people below were all exclaiming, pointing at the sky, and talking incessantly.

"The concentration of spiritual energy is also quite good." Lin Qian noticed that in various places within the city were set up Spirit Gathering Arrays, which were also resource-consuming.

Upon arriving at the treasury of the City Lord Mansion and opening it, Lin Qian discovered that although the treasury inside was quite rich, it was far less than advanced city treasuries he had raided before.

Lin Qian seemed thoughtful, as he turned around, pretended to be angry: "I have raided other advanced cities of the Upper Origin Immortal Country. Their treasury is much richer than yours!"

"Say, did you pocket many resources yourself and are playing tricks on me?"

The chubby City Lord was greatly frightened, hastily kneeling down: "Sir, I did not trick you. Many resources in this treasury were used by me, hence their scarcity."

"Really, used for what?" Lin Qian scolded, but the other’s answer surprised him.
