The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: I’m Here

He knew well the nature of the thirteenth elder, and being publicly rejected by Qin Jun, he definitely wouldn’t let the matter rest there!

"Better safe than sorry, I will keep a close eye on this little fellow from now on," Fei Yushu’s smile was somewhat cold.

While geniuses with a nine-star rating were rare, there certainly weren’t just two of them. If Qin Jun was indeed the true culprit behind the scenes, he would naturally take action to capture him!

Someone who dares to slaughter the sub-branch of the Divine Sword Hall is definitely unable to stand on the same side as the Divine Sword Hall, and might have even become a sworn enemy. If so, the more monstrous the talent, the sooner it should be eradicated.

...

"Ding! Sideline mission triggered—Deceiving The Heavens to Cross the Sea! Mission details: The Fifth Elder of the Divine Sword Hall, Fei Yushu, is suspicious that the host is the murderer behind the massacre at the Divine Sword Hall’s sub-branch. He will observe the host throughout the process of the city trial, and the host must manage to get through under the radar. Special note, Fei Yushu is an Earth Immortal realm powerhouse! Successful completion of the task will award a random lottery draw! Failure of the task will lead to endless pursuit by the entire Divine Sword Hall!"

Qin Jun, who had just stepped out of the teleportation gate, was startled by the system notification in his mind, "What the hell, what’s going on?"

How did he come under suspicion?

Qin Jun was full of confusion. The Divine Sword Hall was the foremost among the Seven Major Sects of the Imperial Dynasty, and if he were to be hunted down by them, there would definitely be no good outcome.

Most crucially, Qin Jun had already offended the Star Lodge, one of the Seven Major Sects. If the Divine Sword Hall were to issue a warrant for his arrest, it could possibly draw the entire Imperial Dynasty’s retribution upon the Qianyue Kingdom.

That was his homeland, where he could not afford to see it fall before it had fully grown!

"It seems I need to keep a low profile."

Qin Jun thought to himself that at the very least, he could not allow Li Yuanba to display a strength that surpassed the peak of the Transforming Void Realm, nor could he summon Black and White Impermanence.

Then he began to survey his surroundings, only to discover that he was standing on the summit of a mountain, under a sky of blue with white clouds above and green mountains and clear waters below, an endless magnificent and beautiful scenery, hard to imagine that this was actually the inner world of a certain magical treasure, and without guessing, he knew that the rank of this treasure far surpassed his own Zijin Emperor Armor.

Looking around, he couldn’t see the figure of any cultivator. It seems that the competitors, upon entering the teleportation gate, were randomly assigned to different locations, which also served to prevent grouping up.

"Your Highness."

The voice of the Roaring Sky Dog entered Qin Jun’s ears. Turning, Qin Jun saw the Roaring Sky Dog appearing behind him, which made him cheer in surprise.

It seems spiritual pets do accompany the cultivators, they just don’t enter at the same time.

To prevent being discovered, Qin Jun had already arranged with the Roaring Sky Dog that they would communicate through voice transmission during the city trial.

"Roaring Sky Dog, we need to keep a low profile from now on, someone has got their eye on us."

Qin Jun transmitted his voice, all the while deliberately bowing his head as if looking at the situation beneath the cliff, all to avoid leaving any traces that people might discover.

The Roaring Sky Dog’s pupils shrank, and it instantly understood Qin Jun’s meaning. If Qin Jun was being so cautious, it would probably be due to the might of the Divine Sword Hall’s strong players.

It nodded slightly.

Qin Jun then leaped into the air, quickly activating the Riding Clouds technique. Clouds formed under his feet, and the Roaring Sky Dog jumped up after him. Together, the duo rode the clouds toward the distant horizon.

Outside the magical world where the contestants were being given tokens, Fei Yushu’s face showed a look of surprise. He thought to himself, "This kid is something else, to have mastered such a spell."

In the Southern Domain, the Riding Clouds technique was not popular, and only a few cultivators with high levels of cultivation could master it.

Fei Yushu, who had reached the Earth Immortal realm, could fly directly and had no need for such a technique. However, it was different for Qin Jun, who was able to cast the Riding Clouds technique so effortlessly at the Golden Elixir realm, was truly impressive.

"Hope you are not the culprit behind the murder case," Fei Yushu thought to himself. Such a genius even made him feel the impulse to take him as a disciple.

At the same time, a long queue still stretched out in front of him, seemingly without end.

It was estimated that with hundreds of thousands of participants, it would take two days to get them all in, with the stronger cultivators naturally hoping to get in earlier, and the weaker ones wishing it could be as late as possible.

...

"How should we find Yuanba?"

Qin Jun lowered his head and asked the Roaring Sky Dog through voice transmission. One obvious flaw of the technique was that one’s lips would move; others couldn’t hear the sound, but strong cultivators could judge what was being transmitted by reading the lip movements.

It is said that there’s an advanced version of the voice transmission technique that doesn’t even require moving one’s lips, relying solely on thoughts. Of course, such a spell was not yet within Qin Jun’s grasp.

"Your Highness!!! I’m here!!!"

Just then, a domineering roar that shook the heavens came from the sky, causing Qin Jun to curse under his breath. The Roaring Sky Dog, about to reply, had the corner of its mouth twitch.

Indeed, they were of one mind!

Such a blunt way of indicating one’s location could only be done by Li Yuanba.

Without hesitation, Qin Jun headed straight in the direction from which the voice had come.

Meanwhile, on a plain several miles away, Li Yuanba walked leisurely with a Golden Peng Divine Hammer in hand, shouting as he walked, nearly rupturing the eardrums of the cultivators within a mile radius. It was like a superior version of the lion’s roar skill.

Most participants were geniuses, proud and haughty. They swiftly formed team after team and came attacking.

Just from the roar alone, it was clear a strong player was present. They figured they needed to band together to take down the strongest first before they could fight among themselves.

And so, a tragedy was about to unfold.

"The silly kid up ahead, stop shouting!"

A tall, young cultivator came with his sword, followed by five other cultivators, all with Golden Elixir realm cultivations.

The air around Li Yuanba wouldn’t be transparent to the perception of those in the Golden Elixir realm, and the cultivators taking part in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition were likely not very strong, at most reaching the peak of the Ascending Mortal realm, yet these geniuses came together five or six strong, boldly challenging him. Even if they couldn’t win, they were confident they could retreat.

Unfortunately, they had encountered a monstrous Earth Immortal realm freak.

Li Yuanba mainly relied on brute force in battle, usually keeping his spiritual power reined in, so even Fei Yushu passing by didn’t discern his cultivation level. Based on his performance during the exams, Li Yuanba should have reached the peak of the Ascending Mortal realm.

Of course, Xu Guiku did not tell Fei Yushu that Li Yuanba had already surpassed the Transforming Void Realm, because Xu Guiku wanted to take Li Yuanba as a disciple and had been wishing for it ever since!

"You’re calling who stupid?"

Li Yuanba’s face turned dark at once, but the young cultivator was unperturbed and even tauntingly said with a laugh, "I’m talking about you!"

After speaking, he lunged forward with his sword towards Li Yuanba while the other five cultivators also launched their attacks.

Whoosh—

Li Yuanba suddenly hurled his right hammer. The Golden Peng Divine Hammer, big as a water jar, flew towards them with a speed incomprehensible to the common man. The young cultivator had no time to dodge and was directly smashed to bits with a loud bang, his blood and flesh scattering into the air mixed with chilling white bones.

The other five cultivators were almost scared silly. They quickly stopped
