Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Fair and Square

"Have you heard? Qin Jun has come to our Black Dragon Kingdom and even snatched away a Divine Beast!"

"I heard about it long ago. It is said that General Mo was even eaten by the beast guarding the Divine Beast... how terrifying..."

"It’s not just Qin Jun, there’s also that Abyss Sect you hear about. It seems to be a force from the Demonic Dao, and not a low-ranking one at that."

"It seems that the Black Dragon Kingdom is in for some unrest!"

"With the Demonic Dao invading and Qin Jun within our borders, alas, troubled times are approaching!"

The cultivators on either side of the street were talking animatedly, their voices reaching Qin Jun and his company, making them shake their heads and chuckle.

With a teasing look, Daji asked Qin Jun, "What does it feel like to offend the Abyss Sect once again? Because of you, the Abyss Sect has now become known to the entire world."

The Abyss Sect had initially wanted to act in secret. Had Qin Jun not intercepted them at Bronze Pass, the Nanzhuo Dynasty might have already been replaced by the Abyss Sect. Now they wanted a Divine Beast, but Qin Jun had captured it, and that would be something no one could tolerate.

"It’s fine. I’ll block the soldiers that come, and bury the floodwaters that rise!" Qin Jun said with an indifferent smile. The deep enmity between the righteous and demonic paths was such that, even without his intervention, once the Abyss Sect swallowed up the Nanzhuo Dynasty, these neighboring kingdoms would inevitably face their doom.

Sooner or later, a confrontation was inevitable!

Qin Jun had no such luck as ordinary people and prepared for the worst in any situation.

According to the current pace, the Abyss Sect couldn’t invade on a large scale just yet, and Qin Jun still had time to continue developing.

"Exactly. With me here, if the Abyss Sect sends a pair of enemies, I’ll slay the pair; if they send a group, I’ll slay the group!" laughed Red Boy, standing on Qin Jun’s shoulder. The little Torch Dragon behind Qin Jun couldn’t help but stick out its tongue to lick his face, making him completely disgusted. Red Boy smacked the little Torch Dragon right on the face and the two little ones started fighting.

Fortunately, Qin Jun’s physical strength was comparable to a superhero’s and could withstand the two little ones’ roughhousing.

In two days, the two little ones fought every day. The little Torch Dragon seemed to adore the smaller Red Boy and often licked him. Though small in stature, Red Boy, who had lived for three hundred years, naturally could not stand its affection.

Their playful bickering brought them closer and closer to the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, a throng of people crowded before the palace walls and gate, packed so tightly that not even water could flow through. The palace soldiers stood blocking the front gate, and the scene was noisy and somewhat chaotic.

"Incompetent ruler! Why attack Qianyue Kingdom?"

"Now that Qin Jun has come to our Black Dragon Kingdom, we’ll be implicated as well!"

"With General Bao and General Mo gone, who will defend the lands of our Black Dragon Kingdom?"

"Exactly! Due to the Emperor’s recklessness, we have become a third-rate kingdom!"

"Now with Qin Jun’s Dragonrise Legion stationed here, Qianyue Kingdom’s battle prowess has already surpassed ours!"

Dissenting voices rose uproariously, causing Qin Jun and the others in the crowd behind to exchange glances.

Qin Jun couldn’t help but exclaim, "I didn’t expect the Black Dragon Kingdom to be so open-minded."

Whether it was Qianyue Kingdom or Canglan Kingdom, let alone the Nanzhuo Dynasty, none would dare to gather and make trouble like this. That would be a matter of losing one’s head. It seemed the Black Dragon Kingdom was quite progressive in its way of thinking.

Little did they know, it was the immense pressure he had brought upon the Black Dragon Kingdom that led the Black Dragon Emperor to disregard state affairs. Although the ordinary cultivators and citizens did not resent Qin Jun, the various forces and clans feared he might attack the Black Dragon Kingdom, which was why they had gathered so many cultivators to cause trouble.

The aim was to compel the Black Dragon Emperor to apologize to Qin Jun and de-escalate the conflict.

Wars always bring tragedy, and they certainly didn’t want the tragedy to befall them.

"These people are not just commoners; obviously, there are forces behind them pushing the agenda." Daji said with a hand over her mouth, chuckling. This was the vulnerability of a kingdom: it couldn’t withstand severe storms and waves.

In comparison, no force would dare to confront the Emperor in an imperial dynasty, no matter what it went through!

Because the sovereign of the Imperial Dynasty is bound to be one of the strongest in the entire dynasty!

Kingdoms are different, with hereditary systems, perhaps the emperor might be very weak.

Qin Jun waved his hand and led his companions toward the sea of people, dispersing his Ascending Mortal Realm pressure, forcibly clearing a path through the crowd. The cultivators who were pushed aside looked at Qin Jun and his companions angrily, but as their eyes fell upon them, their hearts involuntarily began to race.

Although they did not recognize Qin Jun’s identity, his fifth-layer Ascending Mortal Realm aura was too powerful for them, making their breathing rapid, so they all fell silent.

Thus, Qin Jun and his companions marched straight to the front gate, whereupon the palace soldiers furrowed their brows immediately upon seeing them.

"Who are you?" the leading soldier captain asked with a stern voice.

The aura Qin Jun radiated made him nervous inside, but he still put on an imposing front.

However, Qin Jun didn’t even bother to acknowledge him, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the soldier captain flying, crashing against the palace wall, and bouncing off to the ground like a ball, gasping in pain.

"I am Qin Jun, and today I’m here to take the life of your emperor!"

Qin Jun said with a cold laugh, channeling spiritual power in his throat so that his voice reached the ears of everyone present.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion, and the sea of people in front of the palace walls retreated en masse. Even the palace soldiers stepped back in fear, all staring at Qin Jun and his group in terror.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree!

The strength of Qin Jun filled them with fear.

"Those who obstruct me shall die!"

Qin Jun sneered as he stepped into the imperial palace. He wanted to make a grand scene, to kill the Black Dragon Emperor outright, as a warning to the other kingdoms not to covet the Qianyue Kingdom!

Living another life, naturally, it should be illustrious!

The palace soldiers dared not obstruct them and fled in various directions. Just like that, Qin Jun and his companions easily entered the imperial palace.

"Wujing, haul out the emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom for me, but keep him alive!"

Qin Jun ordered as he walked, and Sha Wujing nodded before vanishing on the spot.

The reason why Qin Jun didn’t have Red Boy make a move was out of fear that he would not recognize who the emperor was.

Entering the imperial palace, what came into Qin Jun’s view was a flight of hundreds of white stone steps leading upwards to a resplendent palace, capped by a blue sky, majestic and grand.

"I am Qin Jun, and I’m giving everyone inside the palace sixty breaths of time to run for your lives, or else, be buried with the palace!"

Qin Jun called out as he paused, for simply killing the emperor would not be enough; he also had to destroy the imperial palace!

But he had his own bottom line; palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines had no enmity with him, so he gave them time to flee.

Boom!

Inside the palace, there was outright chaos, as maids and eunuchs from each palace screamed and ran out, along with the figures of concubines and princes. The scene was incredibly disorderly as Qin Jun stood in place, waiting quietly.

In the meantime, the news of Qin Jun’s attack on the palace spread rapidly throughout the royal capital like a gust of wind.

Qin Jun had really come!

The first reaction of those who heard the news was disbelief, while the second was alarm, fearing that they might suffer an unwarranted calamity.

In the eyes of the world, Qin Jun was a lawless figure, capable of doing anything!

Soon, Sha Wujing appeared before Qin Jun, dragging the Black Dragon Emperor with him. He casually threw him, and the emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom ended up sprawled out in front of Qin Jun. The Golden Elixir Realm peak-level Black Dragon Emperor was no threat to Qin Jun, especially when strong figures like Red Boy were nearby.
