Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Seven Star Sword【Fourth Update】

After telling Nezha about some of the affairs of the tyrant who pacified the heavens, Qin Jun then let him go play at will, not needing to arrange any tasks for him in the short term.

Time flew by quickly, the sun set, and night fell.

Qin Jun was reading in the courtyard, with an oil lamp on the stone table beside him.

The books he read were all ancient texts, chronicling the extraordinary events and legends of the ownerless lands and even the entire Southern Domain over thousands of years.

These ancient books were beneficial for Qin Jun to understand the evolution and structure of the Southern Domain, after all, in a world of immortal cultivators, living for thousands of years was not unusual, and characters who were once the center of attention might still be in their prime today.

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, You Fenghuang hurried in.

Qin Jun looked up at her and asked with a smile, "What’s the matter?"

"Outside the City Lord’s Mansion, there are two young men claiming to be the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King who wish to see you," You Fenghuang said with a hint of gravity in her voice. It was obvious that the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King had not concealed their auras, which had frightened her.

You Fenghuang had not yet entered the Ascending Mortal Realm; the aura of True Immortal Realm was absolutely terrifying to her.

"Quick, let them in!"

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up as he urged her.

You Fenghuang paused, then hesitantly asked, "Your Majesty, do you know them?"

"I have invited them before, they are True Immortal Realm powerhouses!" Qin Jun said with a laugh, making You Fenghuang gasp in awe.

Energy refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Ascending Mortal, Dissolving Void, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal!

She was only at the third major realm, while those two young men had reached the eighth major realm, making her feel an impulse to bang her head against a wall.

Why does this guy always seem to attract freakishly powerful characters to pledge their service?

You Fenghuang left with doubts about life echoing in her mind.

Qin Jun, meanwhile, put down the ancient book and began to ponder how to ask the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King for a treasure.

One should know that Tai Shang Lao Jun was no simple figure; many people in later generations said he was a split body of Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones. Tai Shang Lao Jun’s pill furnace was what made Sun Wukong invincible with his diamond body and fiery eyes, and was also responsible for Flame Mountain and Red Boy; his mount and disciple were significant obstacles to Sun Wukong on his Journey to the West.

Even if one were to set aside the Primordial Chaos system, just looking at Tai Shang Lao Jun from "Journey to the West," he was incredible.

Before long, You Fenghuang brought two young men with delicate features into the room. They were dressed in Daoist robes and appeared to be in their teens, innocent and naive, but who could guess their true age?

Qin Jun sized up the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King with amazement. Nowadays, they did not need to disguise themselves as monsters to hinder Sun Wukong, so they showed their true faces. If they had pretended to be monsters, they probably would not have even been able to enter the city.

"I am the Golden Horn King, and he is the Silver Horn King, and we have come specifically to pledge our allegiance to Your Majesty," said the slightly older young man as he bowed with his hands folded.

Silver Horn also bowed in salute.

"You may leave now," Qin Jun said to You Fenghuang with a smile.

You Fenghuang hesitated, as two True Immortal Realm powerhouses could be a disaster if they harbored ill intentions towards Qin Jun.

Seeing Qin Jun’s slight frown, You Fenghuang reluctantly left, preparing to find Nezha to come and guard them.

Little did she know that the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King’s loyalty to Qin Jun was over ninety; unless Qin Jun did something outrageous to humiliate them, they would not attack him.

"Golden Horn, Silver Horn, you have finally come. In the future, I will need your help. With your assistance, it’s as if I am like a fish in water," Qin Jun said with a smile. He had said this to more than one God and Demon, but what of it? Saying it one more time would not kill him.

"Your Majesty is too kind; we brothers will definitely not let you down!" the Golden Horn King clasped his hands and laughed, his excitement hard to hide in his eyes.

Today’s Qin Jun was no longer what he once was, commanding countless powerful subordinates. On their way here, they had inquired about the depth of Qin Jun’s power.

A True Immortal Realm was not the strongest under Qin Jun’s command, but to their surprise, Qin Jun was still so warm and moving to them.

"I have not been modest at all; your reputations have reached my ears long ago..."

Qin Jun began to praise Golden Horn and Silver Horn copiously, not even giving them a chance to interject, listening to them as though they were on cloud nine, floating on air.

If an ordinary person praised them like this, they certainly would not care.

But Qin Jun was different; there were many under him stronger than they were.

"I often think, if I could have the assistance of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn..." Qin Jun said until he was parched.

Damn!

I’ve praised you for so long, and you haven’t shown any indication?

Qin Jun internally cursed while still smiling on the outside.

Watching the relentless mirth on the faces of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, he wanted to stomp on them.

Can’t you have a little more emotional intelligence?

After speaking dozens more words, Golden Horn finally couldn’t take it anymore. They hadn’t been worldly like the monsters in "Journey to the West," so they were still innocent boys.

"Your Majesty, if you keep praising us, we will genuinely be overwhelmed," Golden Horn said with a wry smile, forcibly interrupting Qin Jun and flipping his right hand to reveal an impressive long sword.

The sword blade was a meter long and three fingers wide, engraved with profound and incomprehensible runes.

"This is the Seven Star Sword, a gift we prepared for Your Majesty," Golden Horn said through clenched teeth.

Silver Horn King looked at him in surprise, about to speak when he was stopped by the Golden Horn King’s glare.

The Seven Star Sword!

Qin Jun’s eyes brightened. This treasure was incredible, able to clash with Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel. Most crucially, the Golden Horn King had used it to fight Sun Wukong for dozens of rounds without defeat, evidencing its power.

It was definitely a top-tier treasure!

Qin Jun ignored the pained expressions of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, took the Seven Star Sword, and said with a laugh, "Excellent, from now on, the Seven Star Sword will be my imperial sword. To see the sword is to see me!"

Golden Horn and Silver Horn widened their eyes, quickly knelt half before Qin Jun, and shouted loudly, "Thank you for Your Majesty’s great favor!"

Only they knew the true power of the Seven Star Sword, but for Qin Jun to elevate it so highly showed how much he trusted them.

The pain they felt just a moment ago was now replaced by touch.

After all, they had stolen the Seven Star Sword.

"Come on, come on! I will have people prepare good wine and food for you!" Qin Jun said, holding the Seven Star Sword, not yet recognizing it as his own, but still feeling an invincible confidence just by holding the sword.

When he reached the True Immortal Realm, wouldn’t he be able to fight Sun Wukong for dozens of rounds with the Seven Star Sword?

...

The addition of Golden Horn and Silver Horn did not cause a stir in Guarding Slaughter City.

Time swiftly passed, and the entire ownerless lands waited for the mysterious powerhouse who had attacked the Righteous Alliance to drive out Qin Emperor again. Unfortunately, there was no news. Instead, Qin Emperor’s power rapidly expanded.

One city after another was conquered, and he was also actively recruiting troops. Qin Jun’s benefits were substantial, tempting many cultivators. Sustained by war, the number of his troops was growing.

As Qin Emperor’s power grew stronger, the other forces became restless.

Meanwhile, another explosive piece of news appeared out of nowhere!

Qin Emperor was possessed by a demon from the Valley of Death!

As this news spread, the entire ownerless lands were in an uproar, with countless people starting to denounce Qin Jun, vowing to eliminate the demon.
