Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Dark Dream Demon Lord

The Four Divine Sect has been annihilated!

Zheng Meixuan has been killed!

A series of news shook the entire land without a master, leaving all the forces in disbelief upon hearing the news, and the monks who were adventuring to and fro were exclaiming in shock, Young Master Jun Qing’s name had truly made its mark.

In the past, Young Master Jun Qing was considered a daring figure in the eyes of the monks, but now, he had truly become a fearsome hero!

In the land without a master, the power of the Four Divine Sect was even greater than that of the Imperial Dynasty, yet it had been overthrown by Young Master Jun Qing’s subordinates and the celestial soldiers within a short time.

Some even suggested that Young Master Jun Qing was the Qin Emperor, but most monks quickly dismissed this rumor, reasoning that the Qin Emperor had just rebuilt the kingdom, renamed it Great Qin, and would hardly come to the land without a master to cause trouble.

Moreover, the Qin Emperor had stronger enemies, like one of the nine sovereigns of the Demonic Dao, the Abyss Sect.

Compared to the Abyss Sect, the Four Divine Sect was nothing.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his companions had already split into two groups.

Liu Bowen, Li Cunxiao, and Bai Qi led the celestial soldiers back to Guarding Slaughter City. With Liu Bowen there, Qin Jun was confident that he could stabilize the situation and handle the relationship with the Netherworld Holy Sect well, while also assigning him some tasks.

Qin Jun, on the other hand, was heading to the Black Flame Sect with Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong.

"I wonder if the Black Flame Sect will cooperate," Qin Jun mused while sitting cross-legged on the clouds.

He actually didn’t want to resort to violence, but unfortunately, many issues could be solved by force, and in those cases, he preferred not to waste words.

"They probably won’t cooperate. The fact that the Abyss Sect’s branch could move into the Black Flame Sect shows that they are in cahoots, and maybe even a subordinate force," Yuan Hong shook his head, neither the Abyss Sect nor the Black Flame Sect were of any concern to him.

The strongest of the Black Flame Sect were only at the level of the True Immortal Realm, and their leader had been beaten so badly by Red Boy that even his mother wouldn’t recognize him—a fact of which Qin Jun and the others were unaware.

Qin Jun also didn’t know that the ancient senior that Beigong Ancestor had sought help from that day was actually the leader of the Black Flame Sect, Ancient Lamp.

Lei Zhenzi, with his arms crossed over his chest, chuckled, "There are nine sovereigns in the Demonic Dao. If we can’t defeat even one of them, how can we ever dominate the Southern Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun agreed, thinking it made sense. He didn’t know where the Abyss Sect ranked among the nine sovereigns of the Demonic Dao, but he was sure that the Righteous Dao must also have several powerful figures to contend with them, and above both the Righteous and Demonic Dao lay the Holy Sect.

Now he had also heard of the existence of Buddhism in the Western Domain...

The long journey is full of hardships indeed!

The Four Divine Sect was far from the Black Flame Sect; due to their respective statuses, they were situated in the south and north of the land without a master, like wells and rivers that do not interfere with each other. In hundreds of years, there had been few large-scale wars, until now, when this balance and tacit understanding were forcibly disrupted by Qin Jun.

With the Four Divine Sect annihilated, the Black Flame Sect naturally couldn’t pretend nothing had happened.

Without the celestial soldiers slowing them down, Lei Zhenzi sped along at full flight, estimating that they would reach the Black Flame Sect in less than an hour.

Neither the Four Divine Sect nor the Black Flame Sect would bother to hide their force’s location; there was no need, so a map could easily be purchased in Guarding Slaughter City.

...

The Black Flame Sect.

A huge ancient castle stood on the vast wastelands—the Black Flame City, the nightmare of the entire land without a master.

At this moment, in the grand hall at the top of Black Flame City, a young man was sitting shirtless, practicing his cultivation. His features were ordinary, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd, but he held the power to drive the entirety of the land without a master into a frenzy, as he was the leader of the Black Flame Sect, Ancient Lamp.

Because he had been so severely burned by Red Boy that his physical body was destroyed, he had no choice but to possess another body and start over.

Fortunately, he had already reached the second layer of the True Immortal Realm before this capture, and rebuilding his body quickly brought him back to the Transforming Void Realm. His Primordial Spirit remained at the True Immortal Realm, which made killing those at the Earth Immortal Realm as easy as turning over his hand, but facing someone from the Immortal Realm would be difficult.

Whoosh—

A gust of eerie wind blew into the great hall and then transformed into a figure cloaked in black robes, who walked leisurely towards Ancient Lamp. The seductive curves outlined by the tight black robes and the gait were clearly those of a woman.

"What’s the matter, Lady Shadow Dream Demon?"

Ancient Lamp spoke without opening his eyes.

The woman in the black robe chuckled charmingly, "Not bad, leader of the Black Flame Sect. Such big news and here you are, still practicing your cultivation?"

"Oh? What happened?" Ancient Lamp asked, opening his eyes with a slight frown, considering the woman before him, Lady Shadow Dream Demon, who had quite a background and whom he treated as an honored guest.

"The Four Divine Sect has been wiped out, by the Qin Emperor," Lady Shadow Dream Demon said as if recounting something trivial, and what was key was that she could reveal Qin Jun’s true identity.

However, any truly powerful force could have uncovered Qin Jun’s identity, since he hadn’t covered his face, he had merely changed his name.

"What? The Four Divine Sect has been wiped out?"

Ancient Lamp was suddenly unsettled, for although the Four Divine Sect was weaker than the Black Flame Sect, the difference wasn’t significant. He hastily asked, "Was it Red Boy or Lei Zhenzi?"

"It was a monkey demon named Yuan Hong, who seems to be even stronger than Lei Zhenzi," Lady Shadow Dream Demon’s voice still carried a smile, but it was filled with a chilling intent that made one feel as if they were in a cold cellar.

Yuan Hong...

Ancient Lamp fell silent upon hearing this name, which he recognized. Even the Warlords and Axe Fiend of the Four Divine Sect had perished at the hands of Yuan Hong.

At first, he had dismissed it, but now that he heard Yuan Hong might be stronger than Lei Zhenzi, he grew restless.

The presence of Red Boy alone was enough to make his scalp tingle, and now, Qin Jun had even stronger figures like Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong by his side, plunging him into despair.

How could he ever take his revenge?

"Next, the Qin Emperor will probably set his sights on the branch of the Abyss Sect in your Black Flame Sect. It would be best for you to maintain a laissez-faire attitude and not expose yourself, as even I would find it difficult to save you since I can’t reveal my whereabouts," Lady Shadow Dream Demon suggested ominously, "You have to make a choice now, between the Abyss Sect and us."

Ancient Lamp’s expression grew dark; he hadn’t expected Qin Jun to rise so quickly. Initially, when he first saw Qin Jun, he seemed like a mere worm that could easily be crushed, but now, just thinking about Qin Jun made him tremble with fear, for the power Qin Jun wielded was indeed formidable.

"Act wisely."

Lady Shadow Dream Demon left with those words and then dispersed into black smoke, as if she had never been there, leaving Ancient Lamp alone in the grand hall, eerily silent.

...

"Your Majesty, Black Flame City is just ahead," Lei Zhenzi alerted, causing Qin Jun, who was practicing his cultivation, to open his eyes and look forward. The horizon displayed a gigantic castle that rivaled mountains in size, and the sky was overcast with thick clouds, casting a gloomy atmosphere over the area.

"Your Majesty, what are our next moves?" Yuan Hong inquired of Qin Jun.

"Can you sense the aura of the Abyss Sect’s demons?" Qin Jun asked, stroking his chin. He still hoped the Black Flame Sect would have the good sense to cooperate. If a battle broke out, the Black Flame Sect would be at a disadvantage.

Ah, such boundless compassion I have, to be considering the Black Flame Sect!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, thinking that being too perfect was sometimes a problem.

"They’re beneath Black Flame City," Lei Zhenzi replied, squinting his eyes, causing Qin Jun to brighten.

It seemed they had come to the right place this time!
