The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1321 - 1322: Recklessly Audacious

Capítulo 1321: Chapter 1322: Recklessly Audacious

The dilapidated plywood house was directly blasted to pieces, revealing the scene inside.

It was just an ordinary black street ground, nothing special about it, with a broken wooden table and a broken wooden bed, very simple indeed.

However, he immediately noticed something was amiss.

“There is indeed a problem here.” The captain of the Eight-eyed God Tribe on the black street walked to the side of the table and sneered.

The previous blast had blown the plywood of the house away with a strong gust of wind, yet the wooden table and bed remained covered with a thick layer of dust.

Obviously, it had been many years since anyone lived in this house.

But according to what he knew, a slave, very poor, had just bought this house with pupil coins shortly after being purchased.

Quite unusual.

Buying this place without living in it, isn’t that suspicious?

His eyes were sharp, and the eight pupils glimmered with divine light. He quickly noticed a clue.

With one kick, he broke open the wooden bed, and with a wave of his hand, the ground beneath the bed cracked open, revealing a pit filled with a pile of pupil coins.

Kneeling down to examine the pupil coins in his hand, he found their soul energy fluctuations much more robust than those before, unclear of their function.

But…

“This is the core of the city’s array!” The captain of the Eight-eyed God Tribe stood up, looked up, and spoke in a grim tone.

Everyone thought the city’s array core was in the main manor, guarded by the main lineage.

But in reality, the array core was hidden right in the center of the main city, in a tavern, to deceive the eyes of the world.

In fact, to avoid detection, there was no special regulation on the black street below.

The concealment was indeed successful, though occasionally, among the efforts, some talented rebels would try to destroy the city’s array.

But without exception, they all died on the way to assault the main lineage’s manor.

This is the effect of the deception, and it is quite significant.

The reason he knew was that he was part of the main lineage of the Eight-eyed God Tribe, with high standing.

The Eight-eyed God Tribe has a hierarchical structure, and the main lineage is their noble family.

In the Eye Clan, men surnamed Mu and women surnamed Tong.

There were also eight clans, chaotic and different in surnames.

Mu De, being of the main lineage, was the current family head’s second brother, and his own grandfather.

“Such matters cannot be neglected, a thorough investigation is necessary, report to the top.” Mu De knew very well how serious this issue was and promptly led his men outside the black street.

Moving swiftly like the wind, their dash was so fast that the slaves on the side of the black street were violently shaken to death by the Qi Force generated by their passage.

This was the portrayal of life in the world of the Eight-eyed God Tribe, life cheaper than pork.

The Eight-eyed God Tribe had absolute control in this world and quickly found out many things.

They learned about the merchant known as Shen Zhiqian, his partnership with another merchant to open a mine, and his large-scale purchase of slaves.

And his exchange for a noble title to access the book repository.

“The book repository?” Mu De was momentarily stunned, thinking that this merchant surely harbored a conspiracy and his infiltration into the book repository was no trivial matter.

After filing the report, he immediately led his clan members to the book repository to apprehend people.

He was a son of the main lineage; who would dare stop him?

And so Mu De, leading his team, charged straight into the book repository.

“Hm?” At the top of the book repository, several powerful Eight-eyed God Tribe members at the Entering Dao Realm opened their eyes, looking down.

Their strength was formidable, but their presence was so restrained that no one inside the book repository, aside from Lin Qian, could detect them.

Guarding the book repository, they spent their days meditating and cultivating with closed eyes. Now opening their eyes, they saw Mu De intruding.

“Strange, why is this little guy bursting in so aggressively?” an Entering Dao Realm Eight-eyed God Tribe member exclaimed to his five old friends by his side.

The six of them had guarded the book repository for a long time, sharing a deep camaraderie.

Another one looked down and said, “Something must have happened; let’s watch and see.”

Inside the book repository, Mu De’s party, aggressive and formidable, rushed in with a thousand troops, causing quite a commotion, alerting those quietly reading on the ground floor, who all turned to look.

Seeing Mu De’s intimidating demeanor, each one took a slight step back, feeling uneasy and wondering what had transpired.

Lin Qian also saw Mu De approaching and, through pupil coin observation, naturally knew who this visitor was.

The pupil coins on the black street were discovered by this person.

Now appearing here, it was likely for him.

“Tong Qian!” Seeing the other party gazing his way, Mu De stopped, and with his four eyes and eight pupils, stared at Lin Qian like a knife, demanding, “Do you know your crime?”

Lin Qian, on his part, feigned ignorance and said, “What did I do? I’m just sitting here reading. What crime have I committed?”

“Hmph, what is this?” As he spoke, Mu De flicked his hand, and several pupil coins fell in front of Lin Qian. “On the black street, these pupil coins are scattered everywhere, containing arrays.”

“Furthermore, you had a slave buy the central house on the black street, hiding these array-inscribed pupil coins under the bed. What are your true intentions?”

“Spending beyond recklessly, purchasing slaves to mine, becoming a first-level noble to enter the book repository, I’m afraid it’s not merely for reading, is it?”

Mu De’s words made the surrounding Eight-eyed God Tribe members somewhat lost.

If what Mu De said was true, this Lin Qian indeed harbored ulterior motives.

Lin Qian seemed indifferent, slowly explaining, “The pupil coins placed across the black street contain arrays for surveillance, nothing particularly special.”

“Having them placed allows for easier centralized surveillance of various parts of the city, making it a bit more convenient to observe every corner, that’s all.”

Lin Qian’s words seemed reasonable, as if the act of surveilling the entire main city of the Eight-eyed God Tribe was no big deal.

“Tong Qian, how dare you! You were just a commoner in the past, now only a first-level noble, and yet you dare commit such an act of insubordination!” By now, Mu De was furious, pointing at Lin Qian and rebuking.

“Is that bold enough?” Lin Qian closed the book in his hands with a slight smile, “Then, if I were to tell you that the city’s array core was tampered with, would you say it deserves a death sentence?”

“And if I told you the book repository was also tampered with, would you say there’s no place to bury me?”

A series of statements like thunderbolts astonished the watching Eight-eyed God Tribe members, who stared at Lin Qian, feeling he was excessively audacious.
