The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1317 - 1318: Not Much Time Left (Fifth Update)

The eight-eyed divine race hired couldn't quite understand what their employer was thinking.

After spending so much money to buy slaves, they were killed just like that?

Splatter!

Blood spurted as the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh echoed. One eight-eyed divine race member opened his eyes wide, seeing a fellow companion's heart pierced from behind.

In his terror, before he could react, he felt a chill in his chest followed by intense pain.

When he looked down, he was horrified to find a sharp knife had somehow already pierced his heart.

The spectral black figures eerily appeared in the mine cavern, behind one eight-eyed divine race member after another, their knives mercilessly stabbing through their hearts.

Meanwhile, in the instant these shadowy figures stabbed through their opponents' hearts, they'd reach from behind to cover their mouths and noses.

The eight-eyed divine race could only make muffled sounds, reaching forward in vain, eyes wide as they stared at the dumbstruck slaves.

He couldn't understand why he was the one being killed; wasn't it supposed to be the contemptible slaves dying?

"I knew it, hahaha." Over here, Mu Xin couldn't hold back his laughter, shouting joyfully, "Master, you're here to save us, right!"

Lin Qian furrowed his brow slightly, thinking Mu Xin was quite good indeed.

He knew in this scenario, Mu Xin's shouting was greatly beneficial for what he planned to do next.

Not bad!

Lin Qian praised him and nodded, "Not bad." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In the next moment, the slaves in the center of the mining square were in an uproar, hardly able to believe what they were witnessing.

Initially, they thought they were the ones destined to die, having already fallen into despair.

Who could have predicted such a twist of fate—a stay of execution?

"Hey, look quickly."

"This…what is…"

The slaves in the mining square looked around in utter terror.

They clearly saw the bodies of the dead eight-eyed divine race members were being refined into beads.

Then, the people in black soft armor swallowed the beads.

In the next moment, those in black soft armor underwent a dramatic transformation, turning into the likeness of the slain eight-eyed divine race.

So lifelike, that not a single flaw could be seen.

Many felt a chill down their spines, but deep inside, they also felt joy.

Suddenly, they saw hope, the hope to live, hope for the future.

"From now on, these so-called eight-eyed divine race members will be the ones managing you. If there are any issues, speak to them."

"Regarding the rules in this mine, the six thousand from the mansion will explain. Understand?"

Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, the previously panicked six thousand slaves from the mansion hurriedly shouted.

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, they were also standing tall, looking very proud.

In the next moment, Lin Qian's figure vanished from the high platform.

In a flash, he appeared at the entrance, not looking back as he said, "Mu Xin, come here."

Mu Xin, among the slave crowd, quickly responded, squeezing past people to chase after Lin Qian.

In this mining square, the newly arrived slaves were quite bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

Then, those who had lived in the mansion began explaining the past events and the kind of life they had there.

Upon hearing this, the slaves were incredulous, their eyes filled with envy.

Mu Xin arrived at the entrance, standing next to Lin Qian.

"What do you see?" Suddenly Lin Qian, at the entrance, asked Mu Xin.

His sudden question caught Mu Xin off guard, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Freedom!"

"Why?"

"Because the Master has come to save us, so there must be freedom."

"Among us slaves, there's always been a saying passed down. We are not slaves, just oppressed by these eight-eyed divine race members. Outside, there's an even broader world."

"As long as we persist and survive, eventually, fellow members will come to rescue us."

Lin Qian's spirit was shaken by Mu Xin's words.

Because he suddenly thought of the realms beyond the nine heavens, those fallen areas conquered and occupied by other civilizations, those beings, must also be eagerly anticipating and awaiting rescue.

This small world occupied by the eight-eyed divine race was a microcosm of the situation back then. No difference at all.

It's evident that in those regions, those enslaved beings, despite living in such dire circumstances, might also be longing like this.

Lin Qian clenched his fists, further fortifying his resolve to counterattack and reclaim those regions soon.

Beside him, Mu Xin could sense Lin Qian's anger.

Although he didn't know the exact reason, he instinctively felt it was related to them.

"Mu Xin, from now on you're in charge of managing all the slaves in this mine." Suddenly, Lin Qian spoke, which stunned Mu Xin.

Before he could react, Lin Qian had already pressed a palm against his chest, causing him to stumble back two steps.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened. He could feel his entire body relaxed, as if all restraints had been lifted.

These slaves bore chains, and after birth, had to consume the Pill.

Once consumed, their realm couldn't break through the Body Refining Realm.

If discovered not taking it, the entire family and nearby individuals would die.

So, no one dared to avoid it.

But such restrictions had now been completely removed.

Mu Xin could sense that, once willing, he could directly break through the realm and reach the Qi Refining Realm.

Then, Mu Xin directly knelt before Lin Qian, dutifully bowing three times.

"Do your work well, don't let me down." After saying this, Lin Qian's figure vanished from his sight.

Mu Xin then stood, turning to enter the mine cavern.

The problem with the mine had been completely resolved, everything was settled.

Next, it's just a matter of time; as soon as the time comes, he'll be able to enter the library.

Once inside, Lin Qian will vacate the entire library and start a massacre in this small world, eradicating the eight-eyed divine race completely.

This place, within the nine heavens, naturally belongs to Lin Qian's land.

From the ends of the earth, all territory belongs to the king.

Those marauders, recklessly acting on Lin Qian's land, truly deserve to die.

Transformed into the eight-eyed divine race's appearance, Lin Qian walked the main city streets, hands clasped behind him.

"You don't have many days left." Lin Qian strolled down the street, looking at the surrounding eight-eyed divine race, calmly speaking.
