Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Overawing the Four Divine Sect【Eleven more updates】

"Yuan Hong, don’t let a single one escape!"

Qin Jun pointed at the remaining three tyrants of the Four Divine Sect who were climbing out from the ruins in the distance. Yuan Hong charged at them immediately upon hearing the order.

Yuan Hong possessed the Divine Power of Seventy-two Transformations; even Xia Li, at the second layer of the Immortal Realm, couldn’t react in time, let alone the three weaker tyrants.

Even though they were over a thousand meters apart, Yuan Hong instantly teleported above them, raised his Fine Iron Rod high, and Qin Jun couldn’t help but get excited.

This scene inevitably reminded him of the television dramas and movies he had watched about Sun Wukong. The image of the Supreme Heaven Great Sage holding high his golden cudgel was etched in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Huaxia descendants, indelible.

"Crush them all!"

With an angry roar from Yuan Hong, before his words even faded, his iron rod smashed down. In that instant, bright light burst forth, the ruins beneath the three tyrants were bombed into a crater, rubble flew, and violent winds swept in all directions, even the roof tiles of the surrounding buildings were being ripped off, the scene was apocalyptic.

"Ding! Side quest completed—Slay the Five Tyrants of the Four Divine Sect! Gain 1,000,000 experience points and a random draw opportunity!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the eighth layer of the Ascending Mortal Realm!"

The wind ruffled Qin Jun’s black hair by his ear. Before he could see the situation clearly, the system prompt sounded in his mind. At the same time, the familiar warmth of spiritual power surged within him, making him feel exhilarated.

The eighth layer of Ascending Mortal Realm!

Only two steps away from the Transforming Void Realm!

He swore he wasn’t craving to devour Daji and Li, it was just a pure desire to become stronger.

Soon, Yuan Hong, carrying the Fine Iron Rod, walked out from the rising dust. Despite seeming to walk slowly, each step spanned tens of meters, truly wondrous.

"All five tyrants are dead?"

"My God, am I dreaming? The five tyrants were slaughtered without the slightest resistance?"

"Hiss—what is the background of Young Master Jun Qing?"

"No wonder he dared to eliminate Right Tiger Hall and seize Guarding Slaughter City. It turns out he really had a trump card!"

"Tsk tsk, the Four Divine Sect has really lost face this time. I wonder what their sect leader will think when he hears about this."

Those cultivators who were neither involved nor injured discussed animatedly, while those who were accidentally hurt could only swallow their grievances.

With the five tyrants dead without a complete corpse, who would dare to openly chastise Yuan Hong?

Seeing Yuan Hong walking towards Qin Jun, every face showed awe.

In a lawless land, there are no rules; the strong are revered!

"My lord, these are their storage rings." Yuan Hong flipped his left hand open, revealing a handful of storage rings. A careful count showed that there were thirteen of them.

Qin Jun took the storage rings and tossed them to Liu Bowen with a smile, "Sort these out for me, and they will contribute to the national treasury in the future!"

As the five tyrants of the Four Divine Sect, they certainly stored within their rings a massive amount of spirit stones, pills, magical artifacts, spells, and more—it was akin to looting treasure after slaying monsters.

Liu Bowen was stunned, not expecting this level of trust from Qin Jun, but without fussing, he collected the thirteen storage rings, touched deep within.

"Alright, we can head back now!"

Qin Jun said to You Fenghuang and the others with a smile, then he turned and entered through the gate, followed closely by Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Li Cunxiao, and Liu Bowen, until their figures disappeared from the sight of the onlookers, who then finally came back to their senses.

Dan Mingzi said with a bitter smile, "Fenghuang, you really have a sharp eye for seizing a great opportunity!"

You Fenghuang followed with a bitter smile. It wasn’t her sharp eye. In fact, she had underestimated Qin Jun. Originally, upon meeting Qin Jun, she never anticipated that he would transform into a dragon and soar to the heavens at the first sign of trouble, unstoppable.

Looking at the ruined streets surrounding the mansion, You Fenghuang felt a headache coming on. She had just taken charge of Guarding Slaughter City, and it had already suffered damage. However, the slaughter of the five tyrants by Qin Jun’s subordinates would certainly deter the Four Divine Sect. Even if they hated Qin Jun, they would need to investigate his background before making a move.

The Four Divine Sect was only the overlord of the lawless lands, barely rated second-rate in the grand scope of the Southern Domain.

The watching cultivators soon dispersed, all of them excited to have witnessed such a dramatic battle. With them around, the day’s events would undoubtedly shake the lawless lands, and Yuan Hong’s name would become renowned far and wide.

Atop a roof, Sang Liang, the old monk, stroked his chin, pondering, "This monster monkey is outrageously strong. Even I cannot see through his depth. Together with Lei Zhenzi... Tsk tsk, the Qin Emperor seems poised to change the landscape of the Southern Domain... Could it be that the power behind the Qin Emperor comes from another domain?"

...

Young Master Jun Qing’s subordinate, a monster monkey claiming to be Yuan Hong, beat the four tyrants of the Four Divine Sect to death!

This news spread like a plague from Guarding Slaughter City to every other city, causing a stir among countless people. Who exactly was Young Master Jun Qing?

The five tyrants of the Four Divine Sect were renowned powerhouses in their own right, and Yuan Hong had suddenly ascended to the ranks of the top power players of the lawless lands.

All factions were curious about how the Four Divine Sect would react, but regrettably, the sect behaved as if nothing had happened, making no statement whatsoever and even refraining from sending more people to Guarding Slaughter City. It was as if not five tyrants, but just five pigs had died.

Three more days passed.

On this day, the Bone Eroding Tribulation finally received a response from their Abyss Sect’s insect courier.

"Can this thing really convey information?"

Qin Jun looked at the insect in Yuan Hong’s palm that resembled a fly and asked. Lei Zhenzi pushed the Bone Eroding Tribulation towards Yuan Hong, speaking solemnly, "Quick, tell the master what message it has brought."

Shaking nervously, the Bone Eroding Tribulation took the small insect, then popped it into his mouth and swallowed it, leaving Qin Jun feeling rather queasy.

The Abyss Sect and its brutality!

Then, the Bone Eroding Tribulation closed his eyes. After a couple of seconds, he said, "The secret branch of the Abyss Sect is located in the Valley of Death."

The Valley of Death?

Qin Jun furrowed his brow, and Liu Bowen spoke up, "I’ve heard of the Valley of Death. It’s located several hundred miles from Guarding Slaughter City. Many cultivators go there to train, and although most die, those who come out alive always gain a lot."

"Oh, it sounds like a famous site." Qin Jun laughed, then started stroking his chin in thought.

He wasn’t worried about the dangers of the Valley of Death, but rather about what to do with Guarding Slaughter City.

As he pondered, he looked towards Liu Bowen, who caught his gaze and guessed his thoughts, then said with a smile, "I’m willing to follow Your Majesty indefinitely. Maybe I’m not suited for battle, but sometimes, things don’t have to be resolved through fighting."

Guarding Slaughter City might offer great benefits, but he genuinely didn’t want to stay behind.

He wanted to follow Qin Jun, partly to offer advice and partly to expand his horizons.

Only by seeing higher skies can one’s thoughts become broader.

"Then it’s settled, you tell them, we’ll depart tomorrow. Guarding Slaughter City will be left to them," said Qin Jun, nodding.

He had already been delayed for almost half a month. If he waited any longer, he worried for the safety of the little Torch Dragon.

Although the Bone Eroding Tribulation had said the little Torch Dragon was a god of the Abyss Sect, and they wouldn’t harm their own god, Qin Jun couldn’t forget the blood-red eyes of the little Torch Dragon when it was taken away.
