The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 208: Sweeping the Imperial City

Qin Jun’s consciousness slowly came back to life after an indeterminable amount of time had passed.

Upon opening his eyes, what came into view were the two attractive faces of Daji and Li, both filled with concern.

Qin Jun shook his head and then looked around somewhat bewilderedly, noticing that everyone was looking at him with anticipation, except for Ao Wujian whose face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

"How did it go, was the artifact recognition successful?"

Daji was the first to ask, whereas the Vermilion Bird in the sky had disappeared at some unknown point.

Qin Jun answered bewilderedly, "I didn’t feel anything..."

Damn, could it be that I’ve crossed over to another world again?

With a wry face, Qin Jun thought and looked up to find that the golden compass had vanished without a trace, only adding to his confusion.

"It seems that Your Highness’s cultivation is insufficient to activate it, but no matter, the object has already merged with Your Highness’s body," Evening Star said with a smile, breaking the deadlock as the others agreed with nods of approval.

However, their nods made Qin Jun’s heart ache, as if he was being looked down upon.

"Right, where did the Vermilion Bird go?" Qin Jun asked in confusion. How could my Divine Beast have run off?

Daji laughed and said, "It has naturally left. Despite its aloof demeanor, it knew it couldn’t beat us."

"The Vermilion Bird may be a Divine Beast, but this one doesn’t seem very strong. It’s probably relatively young," Evening Star speculated, leaving Qin Jun and the others tongue-tied. If that huge Vermilion Bird was considered young, how big would an old one be?

Divine Beasts truly defy common understanding.

Ao Wujian couldn’t help but cough artificially before asking, "Given this, would you be willing to help me eradicate my enemies?"

All he wished for now was for Qin Jun and his companions to finish their business and then roll as far away as possible.

If they were to stay any longer, Ao Wujian feared his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.

"What’s the hurry? Believe it or not, I’ll hammer you to death!" Li Yuanba scowled and cursed, leaving Ao Wujian utterly frustrated. What have I done to you?

"Exactly, watch out or I’ll stab you to death with my spear!" Red Boy imitated Li Yuanba’s tone and joked, almost frightening Ao Wujian into kneeling.

Compared to Li Yuanba, Ao Wujian’s fear of Red Boy was virtually infinite.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes; together, Li Yuanba and Red Boy were utterly lawless.

If Nezha, the Third Prince, were to join them, the trio would surely turn the world upside down.

"Let’s go, I don’t want to stay any longer either," Qin Jun said, waving his hand, much to Ao Wujian’s delight.

Then the group followed Ao Wujian as they flew toward the imperial city, a grand procession that made the strong individuals watching from a distance hastily avoid them.

Fearing that Qin Jun and the others, those harbingers of doom, would come knocking.

"Qin Jun is coming, everyone run!"

"The harbinger of doom is here!"

"Everyone flee quickly!"

"It’s over, who can stop Qin Jun now?"

"Alas, we’re all competitors in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, so why is there such a huge gap?"

Monks near Imperial Palace Peak were scared into a flurry of discussions, their voices filled with fear, scattering as if encountering their natural predators.

The following process was simple. Led by Ao Wujian, Qin Jun and his companions first stormed the main stronghold of the Divine Sword Hall.

Zhang Leiting, along with Fei Yushu and several other elders, stood at the entrance, behind them thousands of disciples crowding the courtyard and eaves to the brim.

Had Qin Jun just crossed over, he surely would have been scared to piss, but now he was the picture of nonchalance, seeing everything before him as an illusion.

"Submit to Ao Wujian, or die!"

Sha Wujing said sternly, standing in the middle of the line-up with Qin Jun saying nothing. Such matters did not require his words.

Zhang Leiting and company were drenched in cold sweat, just the sight of Sha Wujing was enough to chill their bones, not to mention that Red Boy was also present.

"Why are you helping him?" Zhang Leiting pointed at Ao Wujian and demanded of Qin Jun with a heavy voice.

Qin Jun’s face was expressionless, showing no intention of speaking.

Li Yuanba took out the Golden Peng Divine Hammer and cursed furiously, "Enough with the nonsense, are you going to surrender or not?"

Li Bai, Red Boy, Roaring Sky Dog, Daji, Li, Black and White Impermanence all wore unfriendly expressions. Fa Hai had his hands pressed together, endlessly chanting sutras like an annoying fly.

Evening Star shook the Evil Expelling Dust Brush in his hand, wearing a faint smile that left people guessing his thoughts.

Zhu Yanqing and the other two naturally took their place at the very end.

"Just burn them all to death!" Red Boy bounced on the ground and laughed.

That made Zhang Leiting and the rest pale with fright, their legs going weak.

The entire street was devoid of people, evidence of the terrifying deterrent effect that Qin Jun and company commanded.

"Do it!" Sha Wujing voiced thunderously. As soon as the command was given, Li Yuanba immediately raised the Golden Peng Divine Hammer, and the atmosphere instantly took on a volatile edge.

"Hold on, I am willing to surrender!" Zhang Leiting hastily said, dropping to one knee as he spoke.

Seeing this, the other members of the Godly Sword Hall were taken aback, filled with grief and indignation, but in the end, under the threat of death, they all followed suit and knelt on one knee.

Ao Wujian was overjoyed and said, "To prevent you from betraying me, I must place a curse mark on you. If you dare to defy me, you will die!"

Boom!

This declaration by Ao Wujian made the eyes of everyone from the Godly Sword Hall turn red. This was an attempt to make them puppets of Ao Wujian!

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!

"Ao Wujian, don’t go too far!" Zhang Leiting gritted his teeth and roared like an enraged lion.

Qin Jun’s eyes narrowed, not expecting the usually graceful Ao Wujian to be so vicious—truly, appearances could be deceiving.

"It’s not excessive, it’s only right," Ao Wujian remarked with a cold laugh. Zhang Leiting and the others were Earth Immortal Realm experts, after all. If he could subdue them, his power would grow significantly.

"You..."

The elders of the Godly Sword Hall trembled with rage, wishing they could flay Ao Wujian alive.

"Yuanba, kill the elders of the Godly Sword Hall," Qin Jun suddenly spoke, causing everyone to turn their gaze toward him.

Ao Wujian’s face turned pale with shock, while Zhang Leiting and the others looked even more troubled.

"Hahaha, so what if I die? It’s better than living without dignity. Thank you, Qin Jun!"

A carefree laugh rang out. The speaker was none other than Fei Yushu, his handsome face brimming with smiles, showing no sign of tension or fear despite the life-or-death situation.

His laughter resonated with the elders of the Godly Sword Hall.

"That’s right! Death is preferable to dishonor!"

"Hmph! I’d rather die gloriously in battle than be a puppet!"

"Ao Wujian, I curse you from the Netherworld to meet a terrible end!"

"Hahaha, Elder Fei is right. Qin Jun, go ahead and kill us!"

Watching the elders resolute in facing death, the disciples of the Godly Sword Hall were also stirred, their gazes filled with hatred as they looked at Ao Wujian.

Ao Wujian’s face darkened. He didn’t expect Qin Jun to be so cunning—to upend his plans with a single sentence and even gain favor, making him out to be the bad guy.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "The ordinary disciples of the Godly Sword Hall can disperse now. The grudge between me and the Nanzhuo Dynasty started with your Godly Sword Hall, but I am clear about who my friends and foes are. Those who harmed me have died, and since Ao Wujian once helped me, I will help him take the throne. From now on, your Nanzhuo Dynasty will have to pay fealty to me."

Fealty?

All the members of the Godly Sword Hall looked at Ao Wujian with murderous eyes, never expecting Ao Wujian to be such a traitor, selling out his country for personal gain!
