Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Taiyi Golden Immortal

"Get down here and stop waving your hand!"

Qin Jun glared, pretending to be annoyed as he shouted, which made Nezha stick out his tongue before swiftly descending in front of Qin Jun. Ignoring the tense Yuan Hong, Nezha clasped his hands with a smile and said, "Subordinate Nezha at your service, here to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Everyone’s mouths hung open, their faces filled with incredulity.

This outrageously strong teenager was actually a subordinate of Qin Jun?

How come they had never heard Qin Jun mention him before?

"Allow me to introduce to everyone, this is Nezha. I specially recruited him to counter the Peaceful Demon Sovereign," Qin Jun introduced, subtly revealing a piece of information—Nezha could fight against the Peaceful Demon Sovereign!

Of course, he did not know the real strength of the Peaceful Demon Sovereign, but even if there were a gap, it wouldn’t be too big.

If the Peaceful Demon Sovereign were far beyond the fifth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, what obstacles would the Southern Domain pose for him?

The crowd inhaled sharply. Nezha was not one to hide his strength and bluff; the hint of aura exuding from him caused everyone’s hairs to stand on end. Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi were still fine, but those who were below the Golden Immortal Realm trembled all over, clearly on the verge of being unable to withstand Nezha’s imposing pressure.

"Just what is the background of this young man?" Bai Qi thought with furrowed brows. As someone from the Transforming Void Realm, he couldn’t sense the terror of Nezha. He had been discussing military matters with Li Cunxiao before he noticed Li Cunxiao’s face change drastically, then stand up and leave. Bai Qi followed and didn’t expect to encounter a mysterious and powerful person coming to join their ranks.

He noticed that everyone was tense, even Yuan Hong, who was considered Qin Jun’s top man.

What did that imply?

It meant that Nezha was stronger than Yuan Hong, and not by just a small margin!

Mo Xuanfeng and Wang Yan couldn’t close their mouths for a long time. They had just joined Qin Jun, and these past days had been constantly shocked by the powerhouses and heavenly soldiers under Qin Jun’s command. Now, seeing another mysterious powerhouse stronger than Yuan Hong appear, they realized that Qin Jun was still shrouded in mist in their eyes, elusive and inscrutable.

"What kind of power is backing him up in the background?"

Mo Xuanfeng and Wang Yan were both contemplating this question, as they couldn’t believe Qin Jun was supported by his strength or personal charisma alone. After all, "Birds of a feather flock together," and "People are known by the company they keep."

Nezha’s joining made Qin Jun extremely pleased. A banquet was held at noon that day in his manor to welcome Nezha’s appearance.

In no time, the news of a powerful individual joining Qin Jun spread rapidly, and along with some intentionally released information that it was a teenager, some people began to confuse Nezha with Red Boy.

The name of the Sage Infant King was renowned throughout the Southern Domain. Most knew only of his small stature, but how small exactly, nobody knew—some said he was a baby, others called him a teenager.

When news reached the ears of the other forces in the land with no master, it transformed into a tale of Red Boy rushing over from the Great Qin kingdom. Most forces were not worried about this, as Red Boy had been thrashed by An Yansha, to the extent that he lost the qualification to even climb onto the heavenly list. Nevertheless, he still outclassed the land with no master, and for those forces, it made no difference. They only wished for Qin Jun and the Righteous Alliance to be evenly matched.

If the land without a master truly gained a leader, then half of the cultivators would flow out. The land without a master was mostly populated by adventurers who came here to be unrestrained and to reap various benefits.

Night fell.

In Guarding Slaughter City, within the lord’s mansion.

"It’s time for us to kick off our plan. What do you all think?" Qin Jun sat at the head position, holding a teacup with a smile as Nezha, Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, You Fenghuang, Wang Yan, Mo Xuanfeng, Shen Gongbao, Li Cunxiao, Liu Bowen, Bai Qi, Dan Mingzi, and other high-ranking officials gathered together.

Nezha was the first to speak up, "Your Majesty, wherever you point, I will strike!"

In the past, he was a marshal of the heavenly forces, well-versed in waging war. Moreover, even if all the people in the land without a master joined hands, he wouldn’t take them seriously.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "Indeed, no one in the land without a master could trouble you, but the Righteous Alliance represents the will of the Imperial Dynasty. Regarding the Imperial Dynasty, we still know too little."

Nezha thought about it and indeed found it to be reasonable. The memories implanted by the system were more or less the same as his original experiences, including encounters and apprenticeships. Figures like Li Jing and the Perfected Person were still in his memory. Just a few things had changed, with him coming from a mysterious and sparse domain with no trace of the heavenly court in his memory. As for why he came to pledge loyalty to Qin Jun, he himself could not understand; he just felt that somehow, Qin Jun was his destined leader.

"Your Majesty, let’s simply set out from Guarding Slaughter City to conquer other cities. Fortunately, the gate will be repaired by tomorrow, and by then we won’t be short of manpower. Moreover, with Your Majesty’s prestige, as soon as you call out, countless cultivators will certainly flock to us!" Liu Bowen stood up, clasping his hands and speaking.

To attack cities while recruiting troops was indeed a sound strategy.

The others nodded in agreement, finding Liu Bowen’s plan neither cowardly nor rash.

Qin Jun then began assigning duties to everyone, with Yuan Hong and Nezha both receiving the rank of general, allowing them to expand their armies in the future. Mo Xuanfeng was also granted a not insignificant military title, and as for Wang Yan, lacking the ambition to strive for power, Qin Jun categorized him among the civil officials.

Bai Qi and Li Cunxiao continued to lead the heavenly soldiers, and Bai Qi’s military leadership abilities were gradually coming to light, at least enough to make the heavenly soldiers accept Bai Qi’s command.

Qin Jun still had ten thousand Netherworld Soldiers at his command, but since the soldier talisman was akin to a magic treasure, Qin Jun was not yet willing to hand it over to others. Netherworld Soldiers were exceptionally strong, even capable of punching above their weight in battle; Qin Jun felt at ease keeping them in his possession.

In the end, Qin Jun issued the order that, starting tomorrow, Lei Zhenzi would act as the supreme commander, with Li Cunxiao and Bai Qi leading the heavenly soldiers to set out and conquer the nearest city. He appointed Lei Zhenzi fearing they might encounter a fighter of the Immortal Realm, and as for Mo Xuanfeng, he needed to be observed for some time longer.

Once the Dragonrise Legion arrived, a separate battle route would be arranged. Dividing the forces on two fronts, they aimed to sweep through the land without a master.

...

As the moon set and the sun rose, the next morning saw the heavenly soldiers leave the city in an impressive array. This scene sparked much discussion among the cultivators in the city.

"The heavenly soldiers have been dispatched, with both Lei Zhenzi and Li Cunxiao joining the battle. Tsk, tsk, I wonder who will be unlucky enough to face them."

"Alas, the land with no master is about to plunge into a period of war and chaos."

"How will we conduct trade in the land with no master after this?"

"Forget it, I better head back to the Imperial Dynasty. It’s not comfortable here anymore."

The land with no master had become a paradise for countless cultivators, and naturally, there were those who disapproved of Qin Jun and the Righteous Alliance. But what could they do?

The biggest fist is always right!

Meanwhile, Qin Jun was seeking advice from Nezha on spear techniques.

Apart from the Armillary Sash, Hot Wheels, and Universe Ring, Nezha also loved to practice with a spear, a major reason that many confused him with Red Boy—both youngsters loved to wield a fire spear.

Needless to say, Red Boy couldn’t compare to Nezha. Aside from the disparity in their cultivation time, Red Boy relied on Demon King of Bull and Princess Iron Fan, whereas Nezha’s mentor was the Perfected Person.

"Your Majesty is just one step away from the essence of spear. Repeatedly practicing the same spear technique is of no use," Nezha said with a smile after Qin Jun finished a set of spear movements, causing Qin Jun to light up. It seemed Nezha truly understood the spear.

"Then what should I do?" Qin Jun asked eagerly.
