The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Fame Spreads Far and Wide

Every day in Luoyan City, people were discussing the assessments of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, and every day new talents were rising to fame. Of course, people always mentioned Qin Jun and Li Yuanba, who had obtained nine-star evaluations.

As the reputation of these two spread more and more, their fame had begun to extend to the cities surrounding Luoyan City.

Meanwhile, news had reached both the Qianyue Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom. The Qianyue Kingdom was abuzz with excitement, with everyone singing praises of King Yue, and the civil and military officials at court lavished endless praise on Qin Jun. In contrast, the atmosphere within the Canglan Kingdom was somewhat grave, given that Qin Jun had once declared he would smash through the Canglan Kingdom after the end of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition.

The Emperor Canglan, upon hearing of Qin Jun receiving a nine-star evaluation, was so angered that he almost spat blood, while Zhu Yishi nearly fainted.

In the Qianyue Kingdom, within Qingtan City.

Inside the City Lord’s Manor.

"Hahaha! Worthy of Your Highness indeed, to obtain a nine-star evaluation. It seems the throne has already been secured for him," City Lord Chen Zhanjian laughed heartily.

Standing before him was Chen Shuli, who exuded a natural aura of righteousness. In the past several months, Chen Shuli had grown even more upright and handsome, with a glint of confident and resourceful planning between his brows.

"Father, I heard that His Highness has won over many powerful individuals along the way. Among them, Li Yuanba, who also received a nine-star evaluation, is now one of His Highness’s subordinates. It is said that in the Canglan Kingdom, he has traversed through a million-strong beast tide and even slew a Demon King in seconds. I’m not sure if it’s true or false," Chen Shuli said, his face could not help but show an expression of awe.

When he first met Qin Jun, only Daji was by his side.

Later, when he returned to the royal capital, there was already a divine general named Guan Yu beside Qin Jun, who now held the military power second only to Nan Meng in the kingdom.

He had never imagined that after leaving the Qianyue Kingdom, Qin Jun would win over yet more powerful individuals, and there were even rumors that there were many more strong individuals beside Qin Jun.

"His Highness truly is mysterious, always making it impossible to guess what cards he holds. Shuli, you must remain loyal to His Highness in the future," Chen Zhanjian exclaimed with a sigh. He was filled with gratitude toward Qin Jun; without his emergence, the Cheng Family might have already replaced them.

"Father, don’t worry. In the upcoming imperial examination, I am absolutely confident. Once His Highness returns, I will repay him with a top scholar’s title," Chen Shuli confidently proclaimed.

Looking at his son, whose talent for energy refining might not be impressive, but whose knowledge far surpassed others, Chen Zhanjian was greatly comforted.

"Oh yes, Miaoyin sent a message back saying she will also be participating in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition," Chen Shuli suddenly remembered and mentioned.

Chen Zhanjian was momentarily stunned, then a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

...

At the Xuanling Sect.

"Haha! Father, I told you Qin Jun is incredible. Look at how his name is famous throughout the world now!"

Chang Qianqian, shaking the shoulders of Chang Tianyou while she spoke, was so excited that he could hardly focus on his book.

"Silly girl, he hasn’t even proposed to you yet. Why are you so happy?" Chang Tianyou said helplessly, feeling very conflicted about Qin Jun.

Qin Jun had defeated Zhuo Junjie twice, which was quite embarrassing for the Xuanling Sect.

But Chang Qianqian liked Qin Jun, and if he became his son-in-law, he would actually be pleased, since there was no one in the Qianyue Kingdom who could surpass Qin Jun in status or strength.

"Hmph!"

Chang Qianqian suddenly appeared unhappy, her lips pouting, almost hanging an iron ring on them.

Seeing his daughter like this, Chang Tianyou was torn between laughter and tears.

...

In the Nanzhuo Dynasty, within a certain city.

You Fenghuang, wearing a green robe and a light veil on her face, sat in an inn, swaying the teacup in her hand, with her personal maid sitting beside her.

"Miss, could that Little Overlord Qin Jun be the one from the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition?" the maid asked You Fenghuang, unable to help herself after hearing the discussions of the other diners.

You Fenghuang’s gaze was calm as she spoke softly, "That’s what I’m pondering as well."

"It would be wonderful if it’s him. A genius with a nine-star evaluation is even more talented than the Ghost Young Master in the Holy Sect. He could help you escape from the arranged marriage in the future," the maid sighed.

As soon as Ghost Young Master was mentioned, You Fenghuang’s brows unconsciously furrowed.

"I hope it’s him, if not, I’ll kill him. I won’t allow any other man aside from my husband to have seen my body," You Fenghuang said softly, as if she were discussing a trivial matter.

If Qin Jun were to hear this, he would definitely cry injustice, as he hadn’t clearly seen any important part that day.

"I think the chances are slim. The Qianyue Kingdom is just a speck of dust, how could it produce a nine-star rated genius?" the maid said, spreading her hands.

They were far from Luoyan City, so they hardly received any news about Qin Jun, barely even knowing that such a person existed.

You Fenghuang didn’t continue the conversation, her gaze turning sorrowful and melancholic, provoking pity.

...

Luoyan City.

Qin Jun was walking towards the outskirts of the city center with Li Yuanba, Daji, and Li.

With over ten days left until the end of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition’s assessment, he planned to continue practicing his spear technique, so he needed to find a place away from the marketplace.

"Speaking of which, system, how long until the monthly God and Demon summoning?" Qin Jun asked inwardly as he walked.

He was also anticipating Li Bai’s arrival.

"Yes, there are three days left,"

The system’s reply excited Qin Jun, implying that in the next few days, he would gain two powerful subordinates.

Mere mention of Li Bai indicates that he had reached the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, comparable to Li Yuanba; however, once Li Yuanba unlocked his true form of the Giant Bird, his strength was definitely beyond the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Brother Qin Jun, you seem very happy," Li asked, tilting her head as she clung to Qin Jun’s arm. It seemed that Daji had come to some sort of understanding with her, and the two women rarely quarreled now, which made Qin Jun wonder when the day would come for a ménage à trois.

"Hmm, I feel that a strong warrior is about to seek me out," Qin Jun said earnestly.

Daji’s mouth twitched in annoyance. With so many strong warriors under your command, you still expect strong ones to come to you!

"That’s great, that way Brother Qin Jun will be safe," Li said innocently and cheerfully, making Daji feel sorry for her, thinking how simple and somewhat foolish the girl was!

Qin Jun burst into laughter, unable to resist the urge to kiss Li, but alas, Daji was pinching his ear and yanked his head back.

Fuck!

How he wanted to overpower Daji!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat Daji.

"Your Highness, someone is following us," Li Yuanba suddenly said.

The faces of Qin Jun and the others changed instantly, as neither Daji nor Li had noticed, suggesting that the follower was stronger than both women.

"Continue moving forward and take him out in a deserted place," Qin Jun whispered.

Being followed in broad daylight was definitely not someone coming to give money.

The group of four quickened their pace and after five minutes, they had left the urban area and reached the outskirts, where small hills were scattered and few people were seen.

"Could it be Li Bai following us?"

Qin Jun couldn’t help but attribute the possibility to Li Bai, after all, the pull of a master of the Earth Immortal Realm’s first layer made him almost want to turn gay in his desperate search for the capable.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind Qin Jun, a black dart hurtling directly towards the back of his head aiming for a fatal blow.

Fuck!

It wasn’t Li Bai!

Qin Jun’s fantasy was mercilessly shattered, but he wasn’t worried about his own safety, with Li Yuanba by his side!
