The Peerless Emperor

Before Nan Xin could react, he suddenly felt an invisible force tearing at his soul, directed right towards the base platform in the center of the Array.

At the same time, Zhang Juncheng on the base platform realized, "Haha, young friend, your method is truly ingenious."

As Zhang Juncheng finished speaking, Ye Xin, who was standing beside Lin Qian, could clearly see a human-shaped phantom emerging from the alien body on the base platform.

On Nan Xin's side, a phantom with two horns, belonging to the alien race, also appeared from the Human Clan body.

In the brilliance of the Array's light shining down from the dome, an intangible pulling force forcibly shifted the souls of the two.

The soul of the purple-horned alien directly entered the alien's original body that was on the base platform.

And Zhang Juncheng's soul also returned to his original Human Clan body, falling from mid-air to the ground.

Above the base platform, the two-horned alien body slowly lifted its head, the originally pitch-black eyes of Zhang Juncheng now turned a deep purple.

In contrast, after falling to the ground, Zhang Juncheng slowly got up, appearing exhausted yet his eyes were spirited.

"Ultimately, one's own body is better," Zhang Juncheng remarked as he looked down at his hands, clenching them into fists and closing his eyes.

Thud! Thud!

A muffled sound like a beating drum rang out, making Lin Qian and Ye Xin look in Zhang Juncheng's direction, the sound coming from him.

With the sound gradually intensifying, Zhang Juncheng's originally pale skin also began to glow with health.

"How impressive," Ye Xin exclaimed in surprise.

Beside her, Lin Qian also nodded, inwardly admiring Zhang Juncheng, truly worthy of being a Sect Master from an Ancient Sect.

After returning to his body, Zhang Juncheng must have stimulated his heart to beat, revitalizing his whole body.

The heartbeat echoed like a drum, and from the side, one could perceive Zhang Juncheng's strength.

"You Human Clan kid, is this your solution?" On the platform, Nan Xin, with a hint of mockery in his purple eyes, said to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian turned his head to look at the platform.

At this moment, the alien Nan Xin had returned to his original body, only that the position of his heart was pierced by a crystalline chain formed by the Array's power, his body bound and unable to move.

Yet on his body, purple Soul Power surged and billowed, his aura gradually recovering.

"What can you teach?" Lin Qian sneered at Nan Xin's appearance.

"Your plan is just to transfer bodies, waiting for Old Zhang to restore his cultivation and kill me," Nan Xin scoffed at this, "But I recover faster than him, and at my peak, he is no match for me."

"Unfortunately, this young friend's plan was not for me to take action," Zhang Juncheng, now in the middle of the Array's pillar of light and next to Lin Qian, didn't know when he had approached.

At this time, Zhang Juncheng's human body had regained a healthy complexion, appearing no different from a normal person, though his aura seemed slightly weaker.

"Originally, your realm was indeed stronger than mine, I had no choice but to trap you using this method. However, the person this young friend has called upon has an unimaginable mastery of Arrays, and will sacrifice you in a ritual to refine you to death."

When Zhang Juncheng said this, the scholars standing at the edge of the Array's light column gathered together, assembling the plates they held into one piece and presenting it to Lin Qian.

"Your Majesty, please activate the Array," the leader of the twenty scholars, holding a copper plate, approached Lin Qian.

On the bronze plate, an array diagram identical to the one on the dome above appeared, and it radiated bright light.

"Boasting about refining someone alive isn't impressive, this array is clearly just a defensive one, not adept in attack. How could it refine me to death?" Atop the platform, Nan Xin clearly didn't believe Zhang Juncheng's words and roared defiantly.

Lin Qian glanced at Nan Xin, grinned, and said, "Sorry, but my subjects have accidentally altered the array into an offensive type, so just resign yourself to your fate."

After speaking, Lin Qian, without hesitation, slapped the bronze plate, and his Emperor Attribute's Soul Power infused into it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment Lin Qian activated the array, the entire second level of the ruins resonated with a deafening booming sound.

Visible array fluctuations traveled along the array's patterns until they surged through the crystal-clear array chains toward Nan Xin's body.

Pale blue flames burst forth from Nan Xin's heart, soon spreading throughout his body, searing him.

"Ahh!" A piercing scream emanated from Nan Xin, which didn't elicit the slightest pity from Lin Qian.

Not only was the opponent a member of a different race, but he had also used brutal methods to turn his own kind into these sorts of walking corpses.

To Lin Qian, merely using the array to refine the opponent alive even seemed too merciful.

"Mute his noises; they are too loud." Lin Qian ordered a scholar beside him, who then lightly fiddled with the bronze plate and isolated the sounds from the platform.

After handling the matter, Lin Qian sent these scholars back to the Huaxia Empire.

After the scholars had departed, Zhang Juncheng bowed his hands in gratitude, "I truly must thank you, young friend, for saving my life and also for avenging the Dangyuan Sect."

"Senior Zhang, what do you mean by that?" Lin Qian quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Then, Zhang Juncheng slowly explained the reason, and Lin Qian finally understood.

It turned out that Zhang Juncheng's sealing of Nan Xin had greatly depleted him. If it weren't for Lin Qian's arrival and what had transpired, his soul would certainly have dissipated after a thousand years.

Moreover, this Nan Xin was originally the main culprit behind the near destruction of the Dangyuan Sect. Now that Lin Qian had eliminated him, it naturally counted as avenging the sect.

"As a form of repayment, young friend, it is only right that the entire treasury of the Dangyuan Sect be given to you, but..." Zhang Juncheng hesitated as he spoke, "I have a somewhat impertinent request."

"Please speak, Senior."

"It's about the pills in the treasury; may I keep those above Upper A to replenish my long years of loss?"

Lin Qian laughed, nodding repeatedly, "These were originally the properties of your sect, so why not? However, I will need one of each pill above Upper A."

"That's absolutely no problem." Zhang Juncheng nodded repeatedly.

Since Lin Qian's scholars had altered the array, the treasury's array naturally seemed insubstantial.

After obtaining the needed pills, Zhang Juncheng was astonished to see Lin Qian wave his hand, causing the grand halls of the treasury to vanish into thin air.

"Young friend, your storage space is rather immense, isn't it?"

Seeing Zhang Juncheng's amazement, Lin Qian shrugged and said nothing, if the vast planet where the Huaxia Empire resided couldn't even accommodate these treasuries, wouldn't that be a joke?

"To have a son like you, your father must be very proud," Zhang Juncheng smiled at Lin Qian.

"Yes, but unfortunately they are unaware of my situation at the moment, and I am not certain of my own safety," Lin Qian's brow furrowed, and he sighed, "They probably still think of me as an unfortunate child who can't cultivate, and worry about me."
