Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Subjugating the Canglan Kingdom

"The Wheel of Fate has already merged with you..."

The ancient spirit stared at Qin Jun and slowly began to speak, his voice devoid of any emotion, so cold that it sent shivers down Qin Jun’s spine.

"What Wheel of Fate, I don’t know..."

Qin Jun clenched his teeth, just hearing the name made it clear it was a treasure of earth-shattering importance, did this bastard want to kill for treasure?

Poor heavens, he truly had no idea what the Wheel of Fate was.

There were many treasures on him, could one of them really be called the Wheel of Fate?

"I also do not know what the Wheel of Fate is... but I can feel the aura of the Wheel of Fate inside you..." the ancient spirit said, bewildered.

"..."

Qin Jun broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing how to respond to this— the guy was definitely insane, and to top it off, amnesiac!

At the same time, he cursed inwardly, wondering which bastard had released the ancient spirit.

Unfortunately, that bastard had already died a miserable death at the hands of the ancient spirit.

"Release His Highness, or I will never let you off!" Red Boy shouted angrily, his heart full of shame and rage. If it hadn’t been for the ancient spirit’s interruption, Qin Jun would never have fallen into its hands.

But regret was of no use now.

The strength demonstrated by the ancient spirit left them all chilled to the bone. If it wanted to kill Qin Jun, it would have little trouble doing so, especially considering how close it was to Qin Jun. If Red Boy and the others made a move, Qin Jun was likely to be killed by the ancient spirit.

Feeling that the ancient spirit seemed to be in recollection, Qin Jun grew extremely nervous and hurriedly gestured with his eyes to Red Boy and the others to make a move quickly.

If they didn’t act soon and the ancient spirit went mad, his death was certain.

Unfortunately, Red Boy and the others thought he was telling them not to make any moves. Normally, if a lord was taken hostage, they would be instructed not to act, but Qin Jun was an exception, preferring to seek victory in danger.

"Fuck! How can there be such a lack of understanding..."

Qin Jun cursed inwardly, near to breaking point. He couldn’t help but recall the frustration he felt in his past life when playing a certain tower defense game—not because his teammates were too bad but because there was no understanding between them...

At that moment, the ancient spirit looked at him again, making his scalp tingle.

"Although I do not know what the Wheel of Fate is... I feel that it has something to do with me... Take care of yourself..."

The ancient spirit said ominously before disappearing on the spot, without a trace.

Red Boy and the others swiftly flew over, encircling Qin Jun, on guard against another attack from the ancient spirit.

Just like that, he left?

Qin Jun’s mind struggled to comprehend what had just happened, feeling an absurd mix of amusement and scorn. He had an uneasy feeling that he had been to toyed with.

"Has he left?" Sha Wujing asked hesitantly, instinctively looking towards Red Boy because he couldn’t sense the presence of the ancient spirit and had to rely on Red Boy, who was stronger.

Red Boy frowned and said, "I can’t detect it either; perhaps he really has left."

Earlier, the demeanor of the ancient spirit was as though it was going to destroy everything, and since it had been awakened by someone from the Canglan Kingdom, the fact that it left so abruptly was puzzling.

Qin Jun was also at a loss but seeing that the ancient spirit had spared him, he didn’t care to ponder it any further. As far as he was concerned, the farther away that lunatic was, the better.

He had thought that with Red Boy’s help, a True Immortal Realm expert of the eighth layer, he could strut around like he owned the place. It seemed he had underestimated this world.

Even a minor kingdom like the Canglan Kingdom had such an ancient demon god hidden within. He would have to be more cautious in the future and not underestimate any kingdom.

Then Qin Jun looked toward the emperor of the Canglan Kingdom, who was struggling amidst the ruins. His expression darkened as he took out the Silver Dragon Soul Spear with a flip of his hand and flew toward the emperor of the Canglan Kingdom. As for the other ministers of the Canglan Kingdom, some had been crushed to death, some were still buried in the ruins, and of course, there were some fish that slipped through the net, but Qin Jun couldn’t be bothered to go after them.

Thud!

Qin Jun landed in front of Emperor Canglan, startling him into looking up at Qin Jun with fear, as he quickly begged for mercy, "Qin Jun... please spare me... I’ll give you anything if you spare me..."

So cowardly!

Qin Jun despised him internally, never expecting Emperor Canglan to be so pathetic.

However, it was Qin Jun’s first encounter with Emperor Canglan; he had only heard of him before.

"I’ll give you the Canglan Kingdom... I’ll even give you all the beauties from my harem... Please, just spare my life..." Emperor Canglan pleaded desperately, sending shivers down Qin Jun’s spine. You think I want your cast-offs?

I find it disgusting!

Qin Jun didn’t want to listen anymore. As the saying goes, "to the victor go the spoils"; a true monarch should die a glorious death!

With a plop!

Qin Jun thrust his spear into Emperor Canglan’s back, piercing through his organs. Thunder Palm surged along the shaft into Canglan’s body, instantly shocking him to death without any pain.

"Ding! For killing the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom, Zhu Kui, you’ve gained 998 experience points, and the main quest—Slay Hundred Emperors—is 2% complete!"

The system alert sounded in his mind, but it didn’t cause so much as a ripple in his emotions; the experience gained was far from enough for leveling up and the completion of the quest was only a first step.

With that, the Canglan Kingdom had fallen into his hands.

The emperor had passed away, and most of the ministers were dead. The remaining half of the Canglan Kingdom would only be a matter of time.

"Your Highness... Yuanba is incompetent..."

Li Yuanba, covered in blood, flew in from the sky. His face was filled with shame, too embarrassed to meet Qin Jun’s eyes.

Qin Jun waved his hand and smiled, "The past is the past; there’s no need to dwell on it. It’s the effort we make for the future that is crucial."

He naturally wouldn’t blame Li Yuanba and the others. It wasn’t that his subordinates were incompetent; it was the ancient soul that was too powerful.

"One day, I’ll take back what’s ours!"

Qin Jun looked into the sky and murmured to himself. Today’s setback was a first, even his men were unable to do anything against such a formidable opponent—usually, they were completely dominating. It was the first time they faced a super-strong adversary who they could not handle.

...

News that Qin Jun had conquered the Canglan Kingdom spread throughout the entire kingdom in an extremely short time.

The nation was in turmoil, and countless people were wailing in despair.

In the following days, Qin Jun didn’t leave immediately but cleaned up the mess instead. The remaining half of the Canglan Kingdom also fell under the attack of a part of Dragonrise’s cavalry.

"How’s the Qianyue Kingdom doing?"

In a temporary palace, Qin Jun, while perusing the jade slates containing the documents of Canglan Kingdom, asked Jia Xun who was standing by.

Since Canglan Kingdom was a kingdom, Qin Jun couldn’t deal with it hastily like a small city. He had to take charge quickly now that Emperor Canglan was dead, to govern the entire Canglan Kingdom before heading back to Qianyue Kingdom.

Although Qianyue Kingdom was in chaos, Qin Jun believed that with Guan Yu there, it wouldn’t come to ruins.

"The situation is somewhat critical. The Black Dragon Kingdom from the east and the Wuqi Kingdom from the west have started a joint attack on Qianyue Kingdom. General Guan Yu and General Nan Meng each defend one side, but with the enemy so powerful, they have been continually forced to retreat, giving up cities continuously,"

Jia Xun said with a heavy voice, a sense of urgency in his tone. Although Qin Jun had subdued the Canglan Kingdom, Qianyue Kingdom was his true home, and naturally, he couldn’t bear to see it fall to the enemy.

But he also understood that Qin Jun had to settle the major affairs of Canglan Kingdom before he could leave, which is why he hadn’t been pushing the issue.

Once Qin Jun led the Dragonrise army into battle, even the mighty Black Dragon Kingdom would kneel!

Although the Black Dragon Kingdom could resist the combined forces of Qianyue and Canglan Kingdoms, it was, after all, only on the level of a kingdom.
