The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Passionate [Third Update]

In the ancestral memories, Wang Yan saw the majestic figure of Ji Yongsheng, witnessed the peak strength of the Cat People Clan, and also learned about the bloodline relationship between the Cat People Clan and Ji Yongsheng.

To Qin Jun and Wang Xue, it seemed like only a few seconds had passed, but he felt as though he had experienced another life, one filled with passion and glory.

"You agreed?"

Qin Jun asked with wide eyes, surprised by Wang Yan’s straightforwardness.

Wang Yan looked up at Qin Jun, the fervor in his eyes giving Qin Jun goosebumps. Could it be that this old cat person had taken a liking to his good looks?

"The Blade of the War God rightfully belongs in the hands of the War God!"

Wang Yan blurted something baffling, causing Wang Xue to look at Qin Jun with surprise.

Qin Jun’s pupils narrowed. Could it be that the old man had discerned his Extreme Flame Demonic Bloodline?

If that were true, everything would make sense. It wasn’t because of his good looks; what Wang Yan was interested in was not him as a person, but the Extreme Flame Demon, Ji Yongsheng.

The thought made Qin Jun’s scalp tingle. Could the soul of Ji Yongsheng really be hidden within him?

At that moment, Wang Yan stood up, turned around, and called out loudly, "From this day forward, our Cat People Clan pledges allegiance to Young Master Qin!"

Boom!

The Cat People, who were still in a state of shock, suddenly erupted into chaos. Though they were grateful for Qin Jun’s lifesaving grace, they naturally didn’t want to submit to him.

Those who had not reached the Immortal Realm, of course, could not activate ancestral memories due to Qin Jun.

"How could you agree to him, chieftain!"

"Has the chieftain lost his mind?"

"Chieftain, the Human Clan cannot be trusted!"

"If not for the Human Clan, would our Cat People Clan have fallen to such lows?"

Seeing his agitated clanspeople, Wang Yan’s face darkened, and he said sternly, "Are you no longer willing to listen to your chieftain’s words?"

With those words, all the Cat People fell silent.

Wang Xue frowned deeply and scrutinized Qin Jun, her gaze suggesting that he must have used some dark magic on her father.

"Ding! You have completed the side quest—Save the Cat People Clan! You have gained the allegiance of the Cat People Clan and earned one God and Demon instance opportunity and one chance for a wise talent search!"

The system notification sounded but failed to elicit excitement from Qin Jun.

Whether it was the God and Demon instance opportunity or the wise talent search chance, he planned to use them after returning to the Righteous Dao.

A wise talent search in the Demonic Dao could find useful talents, but Qin Jun would not dare to use them; after all, selfishness and self-interest are the nature of most in the Demonic Dao.

Although one shouldn’t make rash judgments, the likelihood was too high, and Qin Jun didn’t want to take that risk. Moreover, at this critical juncture, civil officials were a burden.

"Alright, first tend to the clan’s injuries," Qin Jun said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

Although he didn’t find the little Torch Dragon in the Demonic Dao, at least the journey had brought its rewards, though there were also losses.

...

The death of Qi Tianxin could no longer keep the incident with the Cat People Clan contained; tens of thousands of cultivators on the plains had witnessed the event, and the news spread like wildfire, especially since Qin Jun hadn’t gone on a killing spree, which fueled the explosion of information!

Among the nine great powers of the Demonic Dao, the Black Destructor Sect ranked higher than the Abyss Sect, and Qi Tianxin was a super powerhouse ranked in the top hundred in the entire Demonic Dao, yet he was killed by a mysterious force.

With the distinctive appearance of Lei Zhenzi, people naturally connected the dots to the Qin Emperor.

However, the Qin Emperor was so far from the Demonic Dao, and since the Abyss Sect didn’t publicize Qin Jun’s tarnished battle achievements, there weren’t many who supported this theory.

In the blink of an eye, two days slipped by.

Langya Mountain Range, within the Cat People’s stronghold.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged on a boulder practicing his cultivation, the breeze brushing against his face, causing the black hair by his ears to flutter lightly. His handsome face was calm, making anyone with a restless heart also settle down.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the second layer of the Transforming Void Realm!"

As the system notification rang out, Qin Jun felt a surge of heat within him, flowing through his body’s extraordinary pathways and into his head.

Upon reaching the Transforming Void Realm, besides beginning to condense the Primordial Spirit, one must also open the Divine Sea, located in the head, resembling the space of a mustard seed, with the Primordial Spirit housed within the Divine Sea. Because Qin Jun’s breakthrough was aided by the system, although he reached the realm, the Divine Sea had to be opened by himself. He had only recently succeeded in creating the Divine Sea, and the Primordial Spirit still required effort.

After the breakthrough, Qin Jun felt a great sense of relief and exited his meditative state.

He stood up and stretched his neck, looking toward the wooden huts not far away against the mountainside, where the Cat People lived. It was very simple and tough to associate the Cat People Clan with an ancient legendary species.

At that moment, Wang Yan, the chieftain of the Cat People Clan, came over. Despite his age, as an Immortal Realm powerhouse, his pace was naturally quick.

"My lord, when shall we set out?"

Wang Yan asked respectfully, as Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi appeared out of thin air behind Qin Jun. Even though Wang Yan had pledged his loyalty to Qin Jun, Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi couldn’t fully trust him. What if the old man suddenly attacked Qin Jun? Better safe than sorry!

"Have all the Cat People been arranged?" Qin Jun asked, raising an eyebrow.

Teleporting tens of thousands of Cat People back to the Righteous Dao was too complex, so he had sent Shen Gongbao out two days earlier to figure out a solution.

Indeed, Shen Gongbao’s ability to make friends was second to none. Within two days, he sent back a message and a map to Qin Jun, sparing him much trouble.

"Everything is ready. We can hit the road!" Wang Yan replied, barely containing his excitement. Ever since awakening ancestral memories, he became exhilarated at the sight of Qin Jun, as if he were on steroids, almost visualizing Qin Jun leading the Cat People Clan back to their zenith.

Qin Jun nodded and said, "In that case, let’s depart immediately!"

The wilderness was no fun, even with an abundance of spiritual energy, and he wanted to hurry back to the Great Qin Kingdom.

This guy was still looking forward to his promise with Daji.

Wang Yan scampered off to mobilize the Cat People Clan, while Qin Jun swept his gaze around before asking, "Where’s Old Man Yi?"

"Not sure, he’s been elusive lately," Yuan Hong replied, shaking his head. They really couldn’t do anything about Old Man Yi; even attempts to follow him ended with them being easily shaken off.

Qin Jun frowned slightly, wondering what the old man was up to recently.

"Forget it, let’s go ahead. With his ability, it’s no problem for him to catch up," Qin Jun said, waving his hand.

As for the possibility of Old Man Yi running away, it never crossed Qin Jun’s mind. He had not restricted Old Man Yi, and it was clear that the old man was quite interested in his Extreme Flame Demonic Bloodline, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave easily.

About the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Qin Jun and the rest, accompanied by the Cat People Clan, started toward the direction of Xuanfeng Fort.

Shen Gongbao had used spells to send the message and map, preventing many hassles for Qin Jun.

Just as the massive group stepped out of the Cat People’s territory, the plains suddenly began to shake violently, causing the Cat People to panic.

"What’s happening?" Wang Xue, who was close to Qin Jun, asked anxiously.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Qin Jun soared into the sky, rising a thousand meters high to look ahead, and gasped in shock before swearing, "Damn it! Knew there was something off with that old man lately!"
