The Peerless Emperor (TPE)

Lin Qian's anger reached its peak, turning into a cold laugh.

The reason Gao Benli's so-called fifth sworn brother had severed Bai Ren's legs was that he deemed Bai Ren unworthy of fighting them?

"I'll help you heal your legs first; we'll deal with the rest later." After calming his anger somewhat, Lin Qian patted Bai Ren's shoulder to comfort him.

"Okay," Bai Ren nodded, but after a moment, he looked at Lin Qian in astonishment. "Heal my legs? Are you sure, Brother Lin? You're not just trying to cheer me up, are you?"

Bai Ren knew his condition well. His legs had been completely severed below the knees, leaving him a cripple. What good is a soul warrior who can't stand?

"I wouldn't joke about something like this." Seeing Bai Ren's disbelief, Lin Qian could understand. After all, being told that his legs could be healed after such a severe injury was hard to believe. But for Lin Qian, it wasn't a difficult task.

Not only did he possess the necessary potions within the Empire of Huaxia, but even the treasure trove of the Dangyuan Sect had medicines capable of healing such injuries.

In fact, the weaker the cultivation level, the easier it was to heal such injuries. The stronger and more advanced the cultivation level, the tougher and more resilient the body, making physical recovery more difficult.

Lin Qian had no intention of using the Empire's potions for Bai Ren's recovery. The pills from the Dangyuan Sect's treasure trove would suffice.

With a thought, Lin Qian retrieved two jade bottles from the Dangyuan Sect's treasure trove through his connection with the Empire. Turning his palm over, two jade bottles appeared in his hand.

"One of these is the Bone Renewal Pill, and the other is the Flesh Restoration Pill. Take one pill daily, and in ten days, your legs will be fully healed, and they'll be stronger than before." Lin Qian explained, shaking the bottles slightly before handing them to Bai Ren.

Bai Ren carefully took the jade bottles, his eyes filled with gratitude, his hands trembling as he held them. These pills represented hope. After all, who would want to spend their life as a cripple?

After calming Bai Ren's intense emotions, Lin Qian looked at him for a long moment before speaking again. "Alright, you and Ye Lin should move to my residence on Maoqing Mountain. That way, they won't be able to harass you anymore."

Without waiting for a response, Lin Qian effortlessly lifted Bai Ren from the bed and carried him on his back.

"Brother Lin, how can I let you carry me?" Bai Ren was alarmed by Lin Qian's actions.

Lin Qian dismissed his concerns. "We're both from Bashan City. Carrying you is no big deal. It's not like I'm made of gold."

With that, Lin Qian carried Bai Ren on his back and strode out of the room, heading towards Maoqing Mountain.

On Maoqing Mountain, despite the single estate, there were numerous rooms, more than enough to accommodate three or four dozen people.

"Once you take these pills, it might be painful, so bear with it," Lin Qian warned Bai Ren before leaving, reminding him of the potency of the Bone Renewal and Flesh Restoration Pills, which were high-grade healing medicines. Their powerful effects might be difficult for someone at Bai Ren's Nirvana Realm to endure.

After instructing Ye Lin to take good care of Bai Ren, Lin Qian left their courtyard and headed to a secluded part of the estate.

Entering a nondescript small house, Lin Qian saw two blankets neatly folded on the bed. Seeing this, he let out a small sigh of relief. He knew this was a signal from his master, Wei Wushuang, indicating that he had entered the hidden chamber beneath Maoqing Mountain for secluded cultivation.

Knowing this, Lin Qian left the small house without disturbing his master's cultivation. He returned to the front courtyard, intending to go back to his own quarters, but was stopped by Lei Qian, who burst in with an angry expression.

"Boss, I need to talk to you," Lei Qian said, his face twisted with anger.

"Is it about Gao Benli?" Lin Qian asked, already guessing the reason for Lei Qian's anger.

Lei Qian looked surprised. "Boss, you already know?"

"Of course. A friend of mine from Bashan City had his legs cut off by Gao Benli's people." Lin Qian's expression darkened as he spoke.

"What?!" Lei Qian's aura flared with a faint purple glow.

At that moment, hurried footsteps approached from outside, and Lin Qian looked up to see his uncle, Qin Wushuang, and one of the Supreme Elders, Lei Heng, entering the courtyard.

"Haha, Lin Qian, I can't thank you enough!" Lei Heng greeted Lin Qian with repeated expressions of gratitude as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The reason for Lei Heng's gratitude was simple—his grandson, Lei Qian, had undergone an incredible transformation.

Lei Heng, known as the Thunder King of Wanxiang Sect, was a renowned expert in Linhai Prefecture, with a cultivation level of the eighth stage of the Void Breaking Realm.

But after Lei Qian returned, Lei Heng was astonished to find that even though his grandson hadn't broken through to the Void Breaking Realm, his strength had vastly improved. Lei Heng, who used to be able to suppress Lei Qian when he lowered his cultivation to the ninth stage of the Nirvana Realm, now found himself struggling to keep up, even when suppressing his power to the third stage of the Void Breaking Realm.

Moreover, Lei Heng was shocked to discover that Lei Qian's combat experience and skills had far surpassed his own. If not for his higher cultivation and broader perspective, he might not have been able to keep up with Lei Qian's pace.

"Lei Elder, no need for such thanks. Since Lei Qian calls me 'boss,' I wouldn't let him suffer any losses," Lin Qian said after some polite exchanges with Lei Heng. Then, he turned to Qin Wushuang. "Uncle, why has my master suddenly gone into seclusion?"

Qin Wushuang let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Because the situation is getting more complicated. My master... he's even considering making peace with Victory Sky Sect, perhaps even submitting to them!"

"What? Submit to Victory Sky Sect?" Lin Qian was stunned by his uncle's words, finding it hard to believe. Did he hear that right?
