The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 314: Losing Face for the Emperor

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Losing Face for the Emperor

Shen Gongbao did not bring his Black-spotted Tiger with him, so Qin Jun couldn’t recognize him for the time being.

"Brother Gao, just leave one unharmed Cat Person for me," Shen Gongbao said with a smile, humbling himself, especially at this time, which made Gao Rui and his four companions look at him in a new light.

They still had some doubts about Shen Gongbao in their hearts, but with a Cat Person right in front of him, he remained calm and did not make excessive demands, which seemed to indicate that Shen Gongbao was not lying.

"Haha, that female Cat Person is mine!"

Gao Rui pointed at Wang Xue and laughed loudly, causing her face to turn frosty, her beautiful eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Whoosh—

Just then, a blaze of fierce flames suddenly attacked, startling Gao Rui and the six of them into quickly dodging. It was Qin Jun’s Samadhi Real Fire that hit the mountainside, burning even the rocks to create a charred hole.

"The Cat People Clan are my subjects, do you know that you are courting death by doing this?"

Qin Jun said coldly, causing everyone to turn their gaze toward him, with Wang Xue showing a peculiar glint in her eyes.

Under such crisis, Qin Jun still dared to protect the Cat People Clan, showing that he truly came to help them; as for the terms "my subjects" in his speech, Wang Xue chose to overlook them.

No one wants to die, not even the Cat People.

"You little brat, which sect’s disciple are you!" Gao Rui asked somberly. He did not immediately make a move, as Qin Jun’s handsome appearance clearly suggested an extraordinary background. Moreover, considering the Samadhi Real Fire just now, he was genuinely worried that Qin Jun was confident for good reason.

Just as Qin Jun was about to speak, Gao Rui suddenly felt someone tap him on the back. The other four Earth Immortal Realm cultivators felt the same and were horrified to discover they could not move.

Qin Jun, Lei Zhenzi, Yuan Hong, and the Cat People all widened their eyes, looking at Shen Gongbao standing behind Gao Rui with a sinister smile on his face.

"Exquisite Daoist magic, you sure come from no simple background!"

Old Man Yi clicked his tongue in wonder, appreciatively sizing up Shen Gongbao.

The indecent seemed fond of the troublemaker; it really was a case of "like attracts like," with increasing fondness upon closer inspection.

"Your servant Shen Gongbao, greets Your Majesty!"

Shen Gongbao bowed in the air towards Qin Jun with a smiling face, which left Gao Rui and the four others dumbfounded, and the Cat People too were unable to wrap their heads around it.

This Taoist was under Qin Jun’s command?

Qin Jun was an emperor?

All sorts of doubts flashed through their minds, only to hear Qin Jun laugh and say, "So it’s you, good thing you acted early, otherwise it would have been bad."

Shen Gongbao’s pupils shrank, and he instinctively looked towards Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi, only to see both staring at him with an expression hard for ordinary people to read, as the killing intent of the Golden Immortal Realm made him involuntarily swallow.

"Your Majesty is right, it was my oversight," Shen Gongbao said with a cupped fist smile, his forehead slick with cold sweat.

Qin Jun’s words were not a joke; he was indeed somewhat displeased with Shen Gongbao’s way of making an entrance. With Shen Gongbao’s strength, he could have certainly dealt with Gao Rui and the others before entering the valley, but he chose to wait until they were inside to show off to Qin Jun. Such behavior could be seen as showing off or as a demonstration of power.

Shen Gongbao’s jealous nature was well known, and Qin Jun had to suppress it to prevent him from harboring ill intentions when meeting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Evening Star.

"So what should you do now?" Qin Jun said with an inoffensive smile; however, Shen Gongbao understood his meaning and immediately took action, successively killing Gao Rui and the four others. In the end, he even used fire element magic to destroy their corpses, leaving no trace behind, earning a nod of satisfaction from Qin Jun.

However, this entire process changed the Cat People’s impression of Qin Jun.

Facing Shen Gongbao, the imperial aura that Qin Jun exuded made people easily overlook his young age.

After that, Qin Jun gave a brief introduction of Shen Gongbao, Yuan Hong, and Lei Zhenzi, before turning to address the Cat People, smiling, "How about it? I have the power to protect your Cat People Clan, don’t I?"

The fact that five Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses were killed without the slightest resistance, showed that Shen Gongbao’s strength far exceeded the Earth Immortal Realm!

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your assistance," Wang Xue said through gritted teeth, her heart filled with gratitude and a hint of sweetness she didn’t want to acknowledge.

Qin Jun waved his hand and laughed, "Let’s go, do you plan to stay here forever? Don’t you want to save your Cat People Clan? If you choose to stay, Miss Wang could marry me, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"Pah!"

Wang Xue’s face turned slightly red as she spat out a word, then turned around and beckoned her tribespeople to prepare to leave.

His skills at flirting really had to be maxed out!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel proud of himself, while Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong had already grown accustomed to it.

"Tsk tsk, you have the style of this emperor in his youth!" Old Man Yi exclaimed with admiration.

"This emperor? Were you also an emperor before?" Qin Jun asked with raised eyebrows, catching onto the words in his statement.

Old Man Yi was taken aback, then fake coughed, "Do you think I look like an emperor?"

"That’s true, if you were an emperor looking like that, I’d be embarrassed," Qin Jun retorted.

"..."

Old Man Yi suddenly really wanted to strangle Qin Jun, that kid’s mouth was truly venomous.

Soon, Qin Jun led the Cat People towards the entrance of the valley. Since most of them were juveniles and not suitable for flying, they had to proceed on foot.

After exiting the valley, Shen Gongbao’s Black-spotted Tiger rushed out of the void, causing the Cat People to shiver in fear.

Qin Jun looked it over, certainly majestic; he then thought that as an emperor, how could he not have a mount?

A mount must be awe-inspiring!

A nine-dragon carriage?

That was not bad, at least it would be comfortable.

The more Qin Jun thought about it, the more excited he became, planning when to have Li take him to capture nine dragons for his carriage.

The cultivators around the entrance of the valley did not yet know of Gao Rui and the others’ demise; when they saw Qin Jun and his party, they surrounded them.

"Lei Zhenzi, take care of them," Qin Jun told Lei Zhenzi, his arrangement bearing a hidden intention; he wanted Lei Zhenzi to showcase his strength, deterring Shen Gongbao from directing his troubles towards Qin Jun.

Lei Zhenzi nodded, then took a few steps forward, raising his hands high. Instantly, the sky and clouds changed, a series of mystic thunders swiftly fell from above.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

As the mystic thunders struck the ground, any cultivator they hit turned to ash instantaneously, and even the forest was blasted into charred earth. This terrified the Cat People, all of them staring at Lei Zhenzi with horror, never expecting this unattractive man to be so terrifying.

Shen Gongbao, feeling the terrifying might of the surrounding thunder and lightning, could not help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He wasn’t afraid of Lei Zhenzi, for although he was not as strong, he could still escape if he wanted to, and Lei Zhenzi would not be able to stop him.

What he was worried about was Qin Jun’s attitude, it seemed his earlier cleverness had angered Qin Jun.

"It seems the emperor, despite his youth, should not be underestimated in his understanding of restraint," Shen Gongbao reflected inwardly, not resentful but instead more expectant, feeling that such a Qin Jun was indeed worth his support.

Soon, the cultivators were either dead or had fled, and Qin Jun didn’t have Lei Zhenzi chase after them, after all, he wasn’t fond of killing needlessly.

"Lead the way," Qin Jun said, turning to Wang Xue, who was still stunned by what she had witnessed, it being the first time she had seen a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse take action.

This was quite normal, if the current Cat People Clan had a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse sitting in, they would not have faced such calamity.
