The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 180: Imperial Capital Intrigue

"You really know how to conduct yourself; it would be a pity if you weren’t a sect leader."

With an approving look, Qin Jun smiled at Ao Wujian, causing the corners of the mouths of the strong followers behind Ao Wujian to twitch, their expressions somewhat strange.

Ao Wujian said with amusement, "I am the sect leader of the Cangyun Sect."

No wonder he was so bold!

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, and looking at Luo Taosha covered in blood behind Ao Wujian, his face showed disdain and provocation, igniting Luo Taosha’s raging anger, wishing he could punch Qin Jun to death.

But with Li Yuanba and Sha Wujing standing behind Qin Jun, he dared not make a move.

"Ao Wujian, are you sure you want to do this?" Zhou Liang asked with a frown. He also had some apprehension towards Ao Wujian, not only because of the power in Ao Wujian’s hands but also because of Ao Wujian’s own strength.

Although he was confident that he could defeat Ao Wujian in a life-or-death battle, he would pay a heavy price himself.

Ao Wujian chuckled lightly, "What now? Can’t my Cangyun Sect even protect one person? Or is it that all the Seven Major Sects, except for the Divine Sword Hall, are just a joke?"

In the face of Zhou Liang, Ao Wujian had none of his previous grace, his words full of provocation, as if trying to infuriate Zhou Liang.

Qin Jun stroked his chin; Ao Wujian’s affinity towards him was such that it seemed this fellow must indeed have a request for Qin Jun.

"All right, stop squabbling, can we leave now? The Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition starts tomorrow, and I need to go back and rest properly."

Qin Jun broke the tense atmosphere between the two and then stepped past Ao Wujian and the others. Li Yuanba and Sha Wujing accompanied him on either side to prevent Qin Jun from being ambushed.

Qin Yun, Bai Menghu, and You Fenghuang’s maid were all extremely nervous; after all, these people were like land gods, capable of annihilating them with just a breath.

"Miss You, how is your master doing?"

As You Fenghuang walked past Ao Wujian, Ao Wujian suddenly asked, surprising You Fenghuang, who turned back and looked at him with a frown.

Seeing the wariness and confusion on her face, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Your master and I are old friends, we’ve even practiced together in the past. I do miss her a bit."

"My master is well, thank you for your concern," replied You Fenghuang coolly, and then she caught up with the steps of Qin Jun and the others.

Watching their retreating figures, Ao Wujian couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

"Today’s events will surely spread; I hope your Cangyun Sect can get through safely," said Zhou Liang coldly before turning and leaving.

Ao Wujian was unconcerned, his gaze falling on Luo Taosha, making Luo Taosha feel a chill in his heart and quickly lower his head to leave.

Although the hatred for killing his son was hard to resolve, he dared not confront Ao Wujian head-on.

Because Ao Wujian was notoriously crazy within the Nanzhuo Dynasty, even before he became the sect leader of the Cangyun Sect, he had dared to cause a riot in the imperial capital, forcing the emperor to intervene.

Watching the strong figures leaving, the onlooking civilians and cultivators were still in shock.

"My heavens! Ao Wujian has actually appeared! I thought he had ascended..."

"Tsk, tsk, Ao Wujian is still so arrogant, daring to disregard General Zhou Liang’s rage."

"After all, the Cangyun Sect is one of the Seven Major Sects, even if its foundations are weaker than Divine Sword Hall, but with Ao Wujian there, Divine Sword Hall wouldn’t dare to touch Cangyun Sect."

"So cool! In this Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, I must get into the top hundred and then join the Cangyun Sect!"

"Get lost, as if the Cangyun Sect would accept a nobody like you!"

...

Back at the mansion, Qin Jun and the others were drinking tea and resting in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, are we being too risky doing this?" Qin Yun couldn’t help but ask. The Imperial Dynasty was supreme in his heart, and although Qin Jun’s actions today made his blood boil, deep down he believed that if the empire wanted to kill them, it would be very difficult for them to escape.

Within the Seven Major Sects, just the appearance of a row of super-powerful experts from the Cangyun Sect was enough to show that, if all seven sects acted together, even Evening Star and Sha Wujing might not be able to withstand them.

"It seems you know nothing about power," Qin Jun glanced at him and said with a smile, leaving Qin Yun feeling rather frustrated.

Daji couldn’t help but look at Sha Wujing and ask, "What exactly is the level of this senior’s cultivation?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Sha Wujing couldn’t help but look at Qin Jun, and upon seeing Qin Jun nod, he then said with a smile, "Immortal Realm."

Immortal Realm?

Qin Yun, Bai Menghu, You Fenghuang, and Zhu Yanqing all showed puzzled expressions, while Daji, Li Bai, and Li Yuanba’s pupils shrank, and even the Roaring Sky Dog lying on the ground couldn’t help but raise its head to look at him.

"Above the Transforming Void Realm is the Earth Immortal Realm, and above the Earth Immortal Realm is the Immortal Realm," Qin Jun briefly explained.

Ssss—

Qin Yun and the other three were shocked as they looked at Sha Wujing, not expecting him to be so fearsome.

"Are there any Immortal Realm powerhouses within the Nanzhuo Dynasty?" Qin Yun excitedly asked, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"There are only two, and neither of them is as strong as Wujing," Qin Jun said with a shrug and a smile.

At that moment, You Fenghuang and Bai Menghu began to understand why Qin Jun dared to be so brazen. Having a super-powerful expert who overshadowed the Nanzhuo Dynasty, there was indeed no need to be overly concerned.

"We’ve struck it rich!"

Bai Menghu trembled with excitement, as if he saw the Baihu Gate rising again with Qin Jun’s help.

At this moment, Qin Jun suddenly turned to him and asked, "How many members are left in your Baihu Gate?"

Bai Menghu, who had the bloodline of a Divine Beast, was highly valued by Qin Jun, as Divine Beasts were related to a kingdom’s advancement to an Imperial Dynasty.

If Qin Jun were to ascend to the throne, he would naturally have ambitions. The Qianyue Kingdom must be promoted to an Imperial Dynasty, otherwise, to let it out would be a waste of the mythological system!

"Cough cough, there are nineteen disciples left. They are out gaining experience. The rest are with me in the imperial capital, recruiting disciples and expanding the Baihu Gate," Bai Menghu said somewhat awkwardly, knowing full well that his Baihu Gate was not impressive enough.

So few?

Are you kidding me?

Qin Jun’s face was full of black lines, and he nearly swore out loud.

"Perhaps your Baihu Gate can be revived under the hand of our Your Highness, and may even surpass its former glory," Evening Star stroked his beard and said with a smile, making Bai Menghu overjoyed.

You Fenghuang looked at Qin Jun with a resentful gaze, making him feel uneasy inside, but he pretended not to see on the outside.

I certainly won’t hand over the Baihu Gate to you!

Qin Jun thought proudly to himself, not only refusing to give it up, but also planning to snatch her away from the Netherworld Holy Sect!

Just then, Qin Jun suddenly felt as if something had swept over his body, as if he were being spied upon.

"It seems the Imperial Palace has already taken notice of us."

Sha Wujing turned his head to look at the majestic Imperial Palace Peak and said with a light laugh. Qin Jun was startled. Could it be that the feeling of being spied upon just now was the Divine Consciousness detection of the Holy Sect?

"Ding! Side Quest Triggered — Evade the Pursuit of the Nanzhuo Dynasty’s Emperor’s Assassination! Quest Details: The Emperor of the Nanzhuo Dynasty has developed enmity towards the host and will send assassins within the next five days to kill the host. If the host survives the five days, the quest will be considered complete. The host must not leave the imperial capital for five days! Successful completion of the quest will reward 200,000 experience points and a random draw!"

The system prompt suddenly rang in his mind, making Qin Jun stunned. To think that the emperor of the dynasty actually wanted to send assassins after him, wasn’t that a bit too underhanded?

As for the penalty for failing the quest, it was quite obvious that it would be death at the hands of the assassins sent by the emperor.
