The Peerless Emperor (TPE)

Initially, based on Lin Qian's assumptions, if this Blackblood Clan member had appeared, it likely meant that he had recovered from his injuries. When he had controlled the blood corpse and faced Lin Qian's master, Wei Wushuang, he had been utterly terrified. Thus, Lin Qian had thought that this Blackblood Clan member's strength should be at the Soul Stage of the Life and Death Realm.

To Lin Qian's surprise, this Blackblood Clan member's strength was indeed at the same level as his master, but due to his injuries, he couldn't fully exert his power.

"Even if he fully recovers and returns to the Soul Stage of the Life and Death Realm, I still have a 90% chance of killing him," Wei Wushuang declared confidently as he looked at the image of the Blackblood Clan member on the tactical mirror.

Ninety percent?

The difficulty of killing an enemy is much greater than simply defeating one. Especially at higher cultivation levels, it becomes increasingly difficult to completely eliminate an opponent. Only when there is a significant difference in power and a deep reservoir of trump cards can one easily kill their enemy.

While Lin Qian was somewhat surprised, he trusted his master's judgment. He understood his master's personality well—Wei Wushuang would never make such a bold claim without absolute confidence.

"If that's the case, Master, do you plan to take action and eliminate this Blackblood Clan member now?" Lin Qian asked, glancing at the image of the Blackblood Clan member who was still absorbing the remaining essence of flesh and blood.

Wei Wushuang shook his head and continued to stare at the image on the tactical mirror. "No need to rush."

"Hmm?" Lin Qian looked at his master with confusion. "Do you have a plan, Master?"

"Think about it," Wei Wushuang explained, pointing at the image on the tactical mirror. "This Blackblood Clan member meticulously planned to turn my master into a blood corpse and secretly modified the formation. He's been plotting this for a long time, and it all seems connected to that small world. He must know a great deal about it."

The Blackblood Clan, often referred to as grave robbers, currently operates in a region that is a hundred times larger than Lin Qian's current area. This region is chaotic, home to notorious races, vicious criminals, and villains who have fled there after committing great atrocities.

The Domain of Chaos, the garbage dump of this world, a land of extreme evil.

The Linhai Province, located deep within the territory controlled by the human race, is a remote corner of this world. So why would a member of the Blackblood Clan venture to such a dangerous place? The injuries on his body must have been sustained during his journey here.

Wei Wushuang found it puzzling—what was the Blackblood Clan member's goal?

Escape?

The Domain of Chaos would have been the perfect hiding place for the Blackblood Clan, so why come here? Clearly, there was another reason.

Now, Wei Wushuang understood. The Blackblood Clan member had come to Linhai Province for the small world hidden beneath the Wanxiang Sect.

There must be something extremely important to the Blackblood Clan within that small world; otherwise, the member wouldn't have risked his life to come all the way here.

This made Wei Wushuang very curious about the contents of that small world.

Although the entrance to the small world had been opened by the Blackblood Clan member, no one knew what lay inside.

However, Wei Wushuang reasoned that if this Blackblood Clan member had known about such a small world hidden in this remote area, he must also be familiar with its contents.

"In that case, we might as well let this Blackblood Clan member lead the way and explore it for us."

"Xiao Qian, could this be related to Nansen?" Ye Xin asked after hearing Wei Wushuang's analysis.

Lin Qian nodded. "It's highly likely. When that battle took place, Elder Zhang mentioned that it was a cataclysmic event. The territory controlled by the Dangyuan Sect was vast, at least ten times the size of Linhai Province."

"Unfortunately, seventy percent of that territory collapsed during the battle, becoming part of the current ocean. The small worlds they controlled were torn apart, and this small world might be one of them."

Ye Xin's expression turned grave as she quickly asked, "Xiao Qian, do you think this small world might contain other members of Nansen's clan, perhaps even royal family members who are sealed within?"

Lin Qian considered this possibility seriously. "If that's the case, then things could get very complicated."

As Lin Qian and Ye Xin exchanged these thoughts, the others around them were left confused and uncertain.

"What are you two talking about? You're making no sense," Wei Wushuang asked, frowning. He had an unsettling feeling growing in his heart.

Lin Qian took a deep breath. "Since we're already discussing this, I suppose there's no harm in revealing it now. This concerns what happened within the ancient relics."

"We encountered a royal member of the Blackblood Clan with two horns and the master of that world, the sect master of the Dangyuan Sect!"

Lin Qian's words left Wei Wushuang and the others in stunned silence.

As they stared at him in shock, Lin Qian slowly recounted the events that had taken place, providing a brief summary. He omitted the key details of the battle but explained the situation with Nansen in detail.

After listening to Lin Qian's story, Wei Wushuang fixed his gaze on the now-stable small world entrance displayed on the tactical mirror. "If your suspicions are correct, then it's very likely that what you've said is true."

"If there's indeed a royal member of the Blackblood Clan sealed within this small world, it would explain why this Blackblood Clan member risked his life to infiltrate deep into human territory and come to Linhai Province."

"Should a royal member of the Blackblood Clan be released, it could drastically change the fate of the Blackblood Clan. At the very least, they wouldn't need to hide in the Domain of Chaos anymore."

"But that's not the main issue right now. The real concern is that if a royal member of the Blackblood Clan is released, they might turn the entire Linhai Province into essence for their own consumption!"

If a royal member of the Blackblood Clan was indeed imprisoned in this small world, once freed, they would undoubtedly harbor immense hatred and seek vengeance. The Linhai Province would be the closest target for their wrath.

At the same time, the image on the tactical mirror began to change.

The previously stabilized glow suddenly fluctuated violently, revealing a portal that enveloped the light, holding it in place.

This portal bore a striking resemblance to the one in the ancient relics, though this one appeared pristine and newly formed, unlike the ancient and weathered appearance of the previous portal.

At this moment, the Blackblood Clan member took out a stone key as long as his arm, inserted it into a slot at the base of the portal, and twisted it.

A wave of invisible energy rippled through the air, and the glow within the portal erupted into a brilliant white light. The Blackblood Clan member wasted no time, darting into the light.

Seeing this, Wei Wushuang quickly urged, "The entrance to the small world has been opened. We must act immediately and stop him!"
