The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1285 - 1286: Catch Them All in One Net (11th Update)

After returning to South Dipper Heaven, the first thing Lin Qian did was to find his wife, Ye Xin.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder; the two, with their high realms and strong physiques, were crazed for nine days and nights.

Afterward, Lin Qian let out a satisfied sigh, secretly proud in his heart: "If this were in my previous life, who could break this record?"

At that moment, Ye Xin also extended her index finger and drew circles on Lin Qian's chest.

Seeing Ye Xin's demeanor, Lin Qian immediately understood that she must have something on her mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Husband, the speed at which our realms are advancing is undeniably fast. If the time comes when we ascend too swiftly to the Upper Realm, what will happen to the Empire?" Ye Xin said, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly. "I... can't bear to leave it."

In Ye Xin's eyes, this Empire belonged to her husband and was their home. How could she bear to abandon it just like that?

Their powerful physiques made it difficult to conceive children.

Ye Xin's maternal love was poured into the entire Empire. Sometimes, as she walked in the streets and saw children of different races, it felt like she was looking at her own children.

As the Empress of the Huaxia Empire, she was the mother of the nation, truly the mother of every child in the Empire in a sense.

After hearing Ye Xin's concerns, Lin Qian smiled, finding it somewhat amusing, and gently flicked her forehead: "Silly girl, your husband is not someone who would let that happen."

"When it's time to ascend to the Upper Realm, we'll boldly go, then look for my grandfather, and find your ancestors." Lin Qian said with a strange smile, "Once we find them, their place will definitely be safer."

"Then, we'll build a teleportation array where they are, so we can return at any time. Wouldn't that be great?"

Lin Qian's words made perfect sense.

However, Ye Xin was still left in shock, looking at her husband in disbelief, and asked curiously in a small voice, "Husband, is everything you said true?"

"True or false?"

"Even in the Upper Realm, will the teleportation array be functional?" A sweep of curiosity and expectation replaced the previous gloom on Ye Xin's face.

She had been worried about this for some time, and Lin Qian's words seemed to dispel those worries.

Lin Qian playfully pinched her nose and replied, "Why would I lie to you? Of course, it's true."

"Besides, due to the ancient teleportation gate, the Heavenly Art Department and the Fire Department are collaborating on research, and soon, an improved teleportation array will be completed."

"By then, the transmission speed will be fast, with minimal loss—a win-win situation."

Hearing Lin Qian's words, Ye Xin finally closed her eyes in satisfaction, ready to take a good rest; she had been exhausted during this time.

The two embraced and fell asleep, enjoying a rare moment of rest.

But upon waking, they quickly returned to their busy lives.

The vast Huaxia Empire required meticulous management, and as Emperor, Lin Qian naturally had many affairs to handle.

Fortunately, Lin Qian had many capable people and visionaries under him, and with the dual constraints of the Emperor's domineering talent and the heart demon oath, the Empire's officials worked efficiently, allowing him to manage comfortably.

However, Lin Qian still focused some of his efforts on Beixuan Heaven, as a great battle was imminent there, and thorough preparation was needed.

Lin Qian did not plan to lose, and perhaps in this battle, he could directly conquer Beixuan Heaven.

For this matter, Lin Qian found it amusing that the opponent was attacking first, saving him the trouble of conquering each Overlord Level force one by one.

On the other side, the South Mountain Sect's actions could help him create a breach in the defenses of the three core Heavenly Domains.

The opponents might have thought that their actions would cause Lin Qian great anxiety and that he would be unable to enjoy a peaceful day, prompting them to issue arrogant threats.

They saw the Huaxia Empire as meat on the chopping block, while they viewed themselves as sharp knives, ready to slice at will.

Yet this grand alliance between the seven Overlord Level forces and a transcendent force seemed to Lin Qian a way to save him time.

"Initially, I aimed to save time, and now it's as if a pillow has been delivered when I feel sleepy." Lin Qian sat in the imperial study, propping his chin with one hand, gazing at the tactical map unfurled before him.

The enemy's routes were clearly displayed on it.

According to the map, the seven Overlord Level forces from Beixuan Heaven were converging in one direction.

At the same time, a team from the transcendent force, South Mountain, was also approaching these seven forces.

But interestingly enough, Lin Qian discovered that the team dispatched by South Mountain was smaller and less equipped than any of the seven Overlord Level forces from Beixuan Heaven, making them laughable.

"It seems South Mountain is trying to profit from nothing, using the seven Overlord Level forces as their tools." Lin Qian deduced this while observing the tactical map.

But immediately afterward, he received a message from Wei Ziliang, noting that South Mountain had again begun to make demands against him.

"They demand the technique for the soul cannon and the technology of the large all-metal Void Cloud Boats? South Mountain must be out of their minds," Lin Qian thought, considering their demands ridiculous.

Through Wei Ziliang, Lin Qian understood why South Mountain only sent a small team.

In their view, his side didn't warrant a large deployment.

Their South Mountain name alone, with a few Soul Martial Artists around the Entering Dao Realm showing their power, was, they thought, enough to make Lin Qian's Huaxia Empire submit and grovel.

The secret of the soul cannon was inevitably leaked; North Heaven's forces had scouts within the Kingdom of Daojiang and could learn some information.

But Lin Qian's defenses were not to be underestimated. His side's capability of preventing leaks was unique and limited what enemies could learn.

What they knew was that the Huaxia Empire possessed a long-range, powerful Soul Device and formidable Void Cloud Boats.

Lin Qian shook his head silently, his eyes cold as he watched the situation on the tactical map, letting out a chilling laugh: "Perhaps you don't know yet, but the Star Array on your celestial body has quietly switched hands."

"Threaten me? That's amusing. I'll let you enjoy some peace for now." Thinking this, Lin Qian reclined in his chair, stretching his muscles.

The time for his action would be when the forces converged.

He planned to catch them all in one fell swoop!
