The Peerless Emperor

Despite the rule that inner courtyard students cannot make a move against outer courtyard students, especially within the Saint Land, where students cannot take action against each other.

But, there are always exceptions.

Better safe than sorry!

Who knows if Ke An might act on impulse and attack them?

On the ground paved with green bricks, almost everyone was watching Ke An warily, guarding against his erratic actions.

Seeing everyone's cautious demeanor, Ke An sneered disdainfully, slowly descending from midair, and came before Lin Qian.

After casting a glance at Lin Qian, Ke An took out a communication soul device and sent the location of Lin Qian and the others to his friends, then directly sat cross-legged.

Ke An sitting on the ground puzzled everyone, not understanding what he was up to.

Soon, Ke An, sitting upright on the ground, directly entered a cultivation state, closing his eyes, as the surrounding nature's spiritual energy whirled like a vortex, rushing into his body.

As the spiritual energy vortex twisted, it created a mighty spectacle, drawing attention.

At this moment, everyone realized what Ke An was up to.

For cultivation, Ke An, as an inner courtyard student, had far more time, and his realm was formidable. The amount of nature's spiritual energy he needed for cultivation was vastly different from theirs.

Upon entering the Saint Land, each inner courtyard student was well-prepared, having taken various pills in advance, and their absorption rate of spiritual energy was terrifyingly fast.

In such a realm, once a Soul Martial Artist enters cultivation within the Saint Land, the surrounding nature's spiritual energy becomes significantly thinner.

As the surrounding nature's spiritual energy thins, it inevitably affects the cultivation of those nearby.

That's why the Saint Land is structured this way, with endless spirit wood forests and paved green brick grounds, allowing inner courtyard students to cultivate separately to avoid affecting one another.

Ke An's method was obvious: he stayed near them to cultivate, gobbling and absorbing the nearby spiritual energy, forcibly seizing it.

Everyone could feel the concentration of nature's spiritual energy around them diminishing rapidly, and although still incredibly rich compared to the outside world, it was nothing compared to the original state of the Saint Land.

The Overlord Hall's ploy was unveiled—to have inner courtyard students help find Lin Qian and others, and cultivate beside them to disrupt their practice.

With inner courtyard students cultivating nearby, their visit to the Saint Land was a complete waste.

Moreover, Ke An had clearly notified other inner courtyard students to come here earlier.

Inner courtyard students, with formidable realms, had fast flying speeds and auras.

Soon, the sound of rushing wind came from afar, closing in on their green brick ground in an instant.

In the sky, two more inner courtyard students arrived, glanced at the crowd below, then directly sat cross-legged in two other directions, starting their cultivation.

From beginning to end, they never gave the crowd a proper look, utterly dismissive.

Clearly, in their eyes, Lin Qian and the others, being outer courtyard students, were not worth their attention.

Their visit here was merely a favor for Ke An, helping to discipline these outer courtyard students who didn't know their limits. It wasn't a difficult task.

After all, cultivating is the same anywhere, and the same here.

After the three appeared and began cultivating, Lin Qian and the others could barely sense the nature's spiritual energy here.

Ke An and the other two inner courtyard students were sitting at the three outer corners of this green brick ground.

The nature's spiritual energy absorbed by the array hidden within this green brick ground was directly taken in by these three and refined into soul energy.

Thus, every member of the Huaxia Alliance couldn't get any nature's spiritual energy for cultivation. How could they cultivate like this?

With these three in this place, Lin Qian and the others' visit to the Saint Land ended up being in vain.

Many in the Huaxia Alliance clenched their fists and gritted their teeth at the three inner courtyard students, but they were helpless, unable to do anything.

Within the Saint Land, any conflict is strictly prohibited.

Not only can't these inner courtyard students attack them, but they can't make a move against the inner courtyard students either.

"What do we do?" Liu Shimin was furious at the scene, looking to Lin Qian.

He really didn't know how to resolve this situation.

"Let's change locations." Seeing these three, Lin Qian shook his head secretly and turned to the crowd, speaking directly.

Many people felt utterly wronged but were helpless, having no choice but to nod secretly, looking at these three with resentment.

But just then, Ke An suddenly stood up, stretching lazily as he looked at Lin Qian: "Hmm, you're leaving? Then I'll come and take a look with you."

Not only Ke An but the other three inner courtyard students also got up, looking at Lin Qian and the others with mocking expressions, the meaning obvious.

Even if Lin Qian and the others change locations, they would follow closely.

Lin Qian knew that the time they entered the Saint Land must be longer than theirs. Once they leave, things would naturally return to normal.

But Lin Qian wasn't willing to waste even a day.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Hearing Ke An's words, Lin Qian turned around, staring seriously at the person in front, "I suggested leaving because I didn't want to argue more with you, considering how hard it was for you to enter the Saint Land. If you go too far, you'll regret provoking me!"

"Does calling yourself 'me' really mean anything?" Ke An laughed contemptuously upon hearing Lin Qian's self-reference, "It's interesting. Whenever you use that term, a powerful aura emerges from you. Impressive indeed."

Facing Lin Qian, Ke An had no fear or reservation, arrogant and rampant.

"Come on, let me see what you can do to make me regret it!" Ke An stepped forward two more steps toward Lin Qian, laughing sarcastically, "Come on, if you have the guts, make a move against me!"

Sheng Da hurried forward and spoke, "Your Majesty, hold back. If you make a move, he can retaliate without punishment."

Suddenly, Lin Qian looked skyward, "I can't bear it!"

Lin Qian's voice pierced the sky, echoing continuously.

This scene surprised many, as Lin Qian didn't refer to himself as 'me' this time, seemingly speaking to someone.

Shortly after, Lin Qian slowly lowered his head, looking at Ke An in front of him, and then at the other two inner courtyard students: "You three, get out of the Saint Land, and never enter again."

Upon these words, Ke An and the other two inner courtyard students burst into mad laughter.
