The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 324 Righteous Alliance

Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Righteous Alliance

The battle ended swiftly, and the Righteous Alliance armies retreated completely, Yuan Hong and the Cat People returned to the foothills where Qin Jun was located, waiting for the entire Cat People Clan and the members of the Xuanfeng Tribe to be transported over.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that it will take two days’ journey from here to Guarding Slaughter City."

Yuan Hong said to Qin Jun thoughtfully, of course, they could fly back directly in just a few hours, but now they had to take the Cat People Clan and the monks of Xuanfeng Tribe with them.

Qin Jun nodded and then said with a smile, "After we return, we’ll formulate a plan."

The land without masters was vast, and he certainly couldn’t fight his way back all the way; even if he did break through city after city, the subsequent governance would be a big problem, and it was out of the question for the Cat People Clan to stay in power. The people from Xuanfeng Tribe were rough around the edges, and Qin Jun wasn’t comfortable leaving things to them.

Yuan Hong nodded, he was no Sun Wukong; he did have insight into military matters.

While waiting for the Cat People Clan and Xuanfeng Tribe to be transported, Chen Lian flew over with a group of elders.

"May I ask if you are Young Master Jun Qing?"

Chen Lian approached Qin Jun with a smile and a cupped hand greeting, knowing that only the major forces were aware that Young Master Jun Qing was a message from the Qin Emperor and that their Netherworld Holy Sect was a bit weaker.

Qin Jun glanced at him and nodded indifferently.

Since the other party was just the leader of the Netherworld Holy Sect and not You Fenghuang’s father, there was no need to go out of his way to please him.

Chen Lian was no Mo Xuanfeng, a strong being of the True Immortal Realm, so there was no need to forge a connection.

However, the Ghost Young Master was quite eager as he stared at Qin Jun, extending his hand with a smile, "Hello, I am the Ghost Young Master of the Black Flame Sect. I heard you annihilated the Four Divine Sect, quite impressive!"

In the past, after Qin Jun had destroyed the Four Divine Sect, he marched towards the Abyss Sect, but the two sides did not engage in war, which led to rumors spreading, and most people believed that the Abyss Sect and Young Master Jun Qing had reached some sort of understanding, including the Ghost Young Master.

Ghost Young Master?

What a lousy name.

Qin Jun was speechless, and then he asked nonchalantly, "What’s your relationship with Ancient Lamp?"

If he knew that the Ghost Young Master had a matrimonial engagement with You Fenghuang, he would probably tear Ghost Young Master to pieces on the spot.

"He’s my second uncle," the Ghost Young Master said with a slight frown, as it was disrespectful for Qin Jun to directly call his second uncle by his name.

"Oh!"

Qin Jun paid him no more attention; Ancient Lamp was not someone he considered important, let alone his nephew.

Chen Lian wanted to speak, but finding himself at a loss for words, Qin Jun’s presence unconsciously tensed him.

The Ghost Young Master, unaware of the gravity of the situation, became angry when he realized Qin Jun was ignoring him.

"Hmph!"

Yuan Hong let out a cold snort. Seeing the Ghost Young Master daring to glare at Qin Jun, he felt as his subordinate he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. A single snort hit the Ghost Young Master like a thunderbolt, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground. Struggling to rise, he felt as though a mountain was pressing down on him, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

Chen Lian saw this and held back his words, eventually swallowing his pride.

Although the Ghost Young Master had a significant background, he was no match for Qin Jun.

"Scram!"

Qin Jun spoke with disapproval, as he could sense the jealousy and hatred in the Ghost Young Master’s eyes.

No sooner had his words fallen than Yuan Hong kicked the Ghost Young Master away, using a well-measured force, making sure the kick was not lethal.

As the Ghost Young Master was kicked back like a sandbag by Yuan Hong, Chen Lian and the group of elders all twitched, feeling both frustrated and relieved.

They were frustrated because Qin Jun didn’t give them face, relieved because they had long been annoyed by the Ghost Young Master.

Soon the Cat People Clan were all transported over, filling the area of several hundred meters at the bottom of the small hill with their figures, causing Chen Lian and others to gulp.

Then, the people from Xuanfeng Tribe began to step out, their formidable auras widening the eyes of Chen Lian and the others.

"What exactly is Young Master Jun Qing planning to do..."

Chen Lian thought in horror, he had a premonition that a massive earthquake was truly about to strike the No-Man’s Land.

First the Righteous Alliance, one of the giants of the righteous factions, suddenly struck, and then Young Master Jun Qing arrived with an astonishing number of powerful experts. These two colossal beings looked set to arm-wrestle it out!

It seemed No-Man’s Land might have to change its name.

"Is there something else?"

Qin Jun turned and glanced at Chen Lian, wondering, what were these people doing standing by and watching?

Scouting for enemy intelligence?

Caught off guard by the question, Chen Lian’s face flushed with embarrassment. He quickly turned with the elders and left, making it difficult to imagine he was the leader of the Netherworld Holy Sect, showing no trace of the sect leader’s authority in front of Qin Jun.

"Tsk tsk, Qin boy, you certainly command respect!"

Old Man Yi clicked his tongue in amazement, and Qin Jun rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

It wasn’t long before the Savage Elephant King stepped out, and upon his appearance, he let out a sky-shaking bellow, which terrified the cultivators inside the Netherworld Tower.

"What kind of elephant is that..."

"That sound is terrifying; it nearly scared me to death."

"That giant elephant gives off such a strong presence..."

"Is that Young Master Jun Qing’s mount? So majestic, truly a goal of mine!"

Chen Lian’s heart went through a roller-coaster, realizing that the higher one stood, the greater the fear; as now, the aura of the Savage Elephant King made his soul tremble.

Unlike Yuan Hong and Wang Yan, who would conceal their auras, the Savage Elephant King, being a demon king, was always unrestrained. ’Low profile’ was a term it loathed.

As time gradually passed, about half an hour later, the entirety of Xuanfeng Tribe had finally completed their transfer.

"Alright, let’s set off!"

Qin Jun, sitting on the Savage Elephant King’s back, smiled and then turned to Wang Xue, "Miss Wang, since it’s a long journey, why not join me atop the elephant?"

"No way!"

The Savage Elephant King hastily objected, as though it had been insulted. However, after Qin Jun glared at it, it instantly cowered.

The pain that struck its soul was chilling, enough to grind down even the biggest tempers.

"I won’t get on; you just want to take advantage of me!" Wang Xue pouted, her silver hair fluttering as she shook her head, a portrait of charm.

Qin Jun had predicted this response, so he shook his head with a laugh and said nothing more.

And so, they began their journey toward Guarding Slaughter City. But today, secrets could not be kept hidden, since nearly half of the Righteous Alliance had fled, and Chen Lian had no desire to suppress this affair.

...

Inside the lord’s residence of Guarding Slaughter City,

You Fenghuang, Liu Bowen, Li Cunxiao, Bai Qi and others were in the midst of a meeting.

"The Righteous Alliance is coming on fiercely, almost sweeping into the No-Man’s Land," said Liu Bowen grimly. The Righteous Alliance was not like the Four Divine Sect or the Black Flame Sect, which were easier to handle—it was equivalent to the nine leaders of the Demonic Dao within the righteous path.

A major reason for the righteous path being weaker than the Demonic Dao was precisely because there were so few superpowers like the Righteous Alliance.

"The Righteous Alliance’s actions this time are far from ordinary. Such major forces typically won’t attack a large territory blatantly because they must consider the Sacred Dynasty above them," You Fenghuang pondered, her words casting a hush over the hall.

Her implications were clear—the Righteous Alliance must have been acting on orders from the Sacred Dynasty to dare to assault the No-Man’s Land.

It seemed someone had let the existence of No-Man’s Land slip to the Sacred Emperor. Under the rule of the Sacred Dynasty, how could there be lawless lands?

Wasn’t this a slap in the face of the Sacred Emperor?

"Are we to compromise? Wait for the Righteous Alliance to take over Guarding Slaughter City?" Li Cunxiao asked with furrowed brows, his tone clearly tinged with anger.
