The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 172: The Prosperous Imperial City

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Prosperous Imperial City

"Alright, verify your identity in turn, and then enter the teleportation gate."

Fei Yushu finished speaking and flipped his hand to take out the Wanmin Sphere. Qin Jun noticed that the teleportation gate had changed from the usual, with dozens of various colored spirit stones embedded into two stone pillars, and none of them were first-grade spirit stones.

It seemed that the farther the teleportation, the higher the quantity and grade of spirit stones required.

Qin Jun thought to himself while calculating when he would establish a teleportation gate in Qianyue Kingdom?

He had already planned to ascend the throne upon his return. On his journey, he had learned quite a few things from Jia Xun, and with the increasing number of enemies, he had to strengthen himself!

He hoped that the Qian Emperor would be sensible enough to enjoy being an untroubled retired emperor.

Soon, Qin Jun and the others had their identities verified one by one and entered the teleportation gate. After stepping through the gate, what came into Qin Jun’s view was an exceedingly long corridor of light, filled with dazzling colors, and at the end was a light as bright as the sun, where he could see dozens of people walking ahead.

"Wow, it really feels like a spacetime tunnel."

Qin Jun marveled, and Sha Wujing, who was following behind him, asked curiously, "What is a spacetime tunnel?"

Qin Jun wanted to explain, but suddenly realized he didn’t know how to explain it since the concept of tunnels did not exist in this world, so he said mysteriously, "It’s something to be felt, not spoken about."

Sha Wujing nodded, not quite understanding.

Behind him, Daji couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth, aware that this kid was fooling someone again.

The corridor of light was very long, and it took them hundreds of meters to reach the end. They crossed through the light gate and quickly arrived at the other side of the teleportation gate.

The noise of the crowd, the sound of gongs, and the roars of magical beasts all flooded into everyone’s ears.

When Qin Jun opened his eyes, he was deeply moved by the sight before him; a square as large as several football fields with soldiers barricaded around it, while on the outskirts there were many vendors, most of them setting up shop on the spot, selling magical instruments, cultivation methods, and magical beasts and treasures. Looking around, it was a sea of people, far busier than Luoyan City.

In the distance, towers were stacked on top of one another, shrouded in celestial mist, creating a hazy, beautiful scene reminiscent of an Immortal Realm. Indistinctly, one could see a massive palace towering into the clouds.

"Is this the Imperial Capital of the Nanzhuo Dynasty..."

Qin Jun murmured, the sheer grandeur of it far surpassing that of Qianyue Kingdom. The rest of the group also had shocked expressions, including Evening Star and others who were full of admiration.

An Imperial Dynasty is not just about strength.

At that moment, all the contestants from Luoyan City exited the teleportation gate, and Fei Yushu along with the members of Divine Sword Hall did likewise.

"Okay, follow me and don’t wander off."

Fei Yushu spoke up, and nobody objected, following behind him.

All the way, Qin Jun curiously observed the local customs of the Imperial Capital. Beasts could be seen everywhere, and even third-grade magical beasts were not unusual here, whereas a first-grade magical beast appearing in a town would cause panic in Qianyue Kingdom.

"Wujing, do you sense any presence stronger than you within the Imperial Capital?"

Qin Jun quietly sent a voice transmission to Sha Wujing, believing that knowing oneself and the enemy ensured victory in every battle.

Sha Wujing nodded, then closed his eyes to sense. After three seconds, he opened his eyes and sent a voice transmission back, "No, there are only two Immortal Realm cultivators in the Imperial Capital, one at the first layer and one at the third layer of the Immortal Realm."

Qin Jun inhaled sharply, surprised to find that the Royal Capital hid two Immortal Realm experts. Fortunately, he had summoned Sha Wujing, otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to traverse the Royal Capital relying solely on Evening Star.

However, all this was predicated on the event of the incident with Divine Sword Hall’s Luoyan City branch being exposed. Under normal circumstances, he would be able to leave the Nanzhuo Dynasty smoothly once the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition was over.

Qin Jun, who always had a strong sense of crisis, liked to anticipate the worst-case scenarios.

Upon learning that the most powerful person in the imperial capital was only at the third level of the Immortal Realm, Qin Jun felt a surge of joy, and while walking, he couldn’t help humming a tune, drawing curious glances from those around him.

"Isn’t that the Fifth Elder of Star Lodge, Fei Yushu?"

"It seems like he’s leading the team for Luoyan City."

"Luoyan City? The one that boasts two of the Ten Great Demons?"

"Tsk, I wonder where Li Yuanba and Qin Jun are?"

"With the Ten Great Demons, it’s said this edition of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition is a grand event not seen in hundreds of years. Any one of the demons could have won the championship in previous competitions."

The cultivators in the square were all abuzz, and this made the other competitors from Luoyan City involuntary the look at Qin Jun and Li Yuanba. Being in their company, it was easy to be overlooked, an uncomfortable feeling indeed!

Qin Jun had heard of the name of the Ten Great Demons before. Aside from Li Yuanba, he did not know the other nine. Half of them were ranked above him in the martial world leaderboard.

"I wonder if You Fenghuang is participating in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition."

Suddenly thinking of You Fenghuang, Qin Jun involuntarily recalled the scene when he accidentally stumbled upon her bathing that night, and with that memory, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Fuck!

So many beauties, yet not one can I have.

You Fenghuang, Daji, Li, Zhu Yanqing—these four stunning women, he had already considered them as his own. As for Chang Qianqian and Nan Yuxin, he really found it hard to feel any romantic interest. Perhaps in the future feelings might develop, but at least for now, there were none.

After all, being a prince, indulging in the pleasures of the flesh wasn’t difficult. Thus, he much preferred a love that grows over time or an instant attraction.

"If You Fenghuang knew of my achievements now, would that count as completing the task?" Qin Jun couldn’t help but look forward to it.

...

The imperial capital housed many forests, in which Star Lodge was situated atop a peak a thousand zhang high.

Atop the peak, there were palaces spiraling around the surface of the mountain. One of these palaces belonged to the sixth hall master, Li Mengjia.

"Humph! You finally came! Dare to kill my beloved pet, even if you are hailed as evil geniuses, you must die!"

A cold snort resounded within the great hall, as a man in a red robe sat cross-legged on a high platform. He was burly with a head of untamed black hair resting on his shoulders. His stern face bore a sinister smile as he held a crystal ball in his hands, within which the images of Li Yuanba and others flickered.

Li Yuanba had offended him to death when he destroyed his divided spirit with a single hammer blow in the past. If it weren’t for the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition taking place and their Star Lodge trying to recruit various talents, he would have already killed Li Yuanba.

Now that Li Yuanba had entered the imperial capital, Li Mengjia could hardly wait to kill him with his own hands.

With his cultivation at the second level of the Earth Immortal Realm, he was not afraid of Li Yuanba.

However, just at this moment, a disciple suddenly rushed in hurriedly and knelt in the hall, saying, "Master, someone from the Black Night Pavilion has come to visit!"

"Black Night Pavilion?" Li Mengjia’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

The Black Night Pavilion was no lesser than the Nanzhuo Dynasty, but even the Seven Major Sects had to give them face.

Thinking this, Li Mengjia said in a deep voice, "Let them in."

No sooner had his words fallen than a shadowy figure appeared behind the disciple, like a ghost, startling him into a shudder.

"Hall Master Li, I’ve come to you regarding our common enemy," said the shadow with a sinister laugh, his body seemingly wrapped in black smoke, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes.
