Chapter 361: Chapter 361: The Chessboard of the World [Fourth Update]

"Tsk!"

Nezha snorted disdainfully. Although he looked down on the likes of Guan Yu and his party, he was still very curious as to why these people appeared out of thin air.

Qin Jun nodded with satisfaction. He didn’t lack top-tier combatants now, what he needed were mid-tier generals, capable of holding down their own fort.

"These soldiers..." Qin Jun gestured toward the soldiers behind Guan Yu and his group.

"This is the Weiqin Army I established, a total of eight hundred and ninety thousand men!" Guan Yu said with a stroke of his beard, smiling.

Eight hundred and ninety thousand...

Qin Jun asked in confusion, "You brought so many soldiers over here, would Liu Bei agree?"

Liu Bei loved his soldiers more than his own wife and children.

"Liu Bei? Your Majesty is also aware of this person?" Guan Yu asked in surprise, and so did Zhang Fei with a similar expression.

Qin Jun assumed an enigmatic expression and laughed, "How could I possibly send you to an unknown world?"

Send?

Nezha was shocked, his gaze toward Qin Jun changed completely. He had earlier heard from Li Yuanba and others about this matter, but he didn’t expect Qin Jun to actually possess such prowess.

It was unbelievable to think about transporting nearly a million people from another world.

It seemed that His Majesty was not as simple as just being in the Transforming Void Realm.

Thinking this, Qin Jun’s image grew even taller in Nezha’s heart.

"Your Majesty is not aware, when I arrived there, I encountered Yide and Liu Bei. Liu Bei was utterly hypocritical, trying to win us over by any possible means. He even made the laughable proposal of becoming sworn brothers in the peach garden. I beheaded him with a single strike!" Guan Yu said with contempt, deeply shocked by Qin Jun’s Divine Power. It seemed that Qin Jun truly was a favored son of heaven.

Pfft—

Qin Jun burst out laughing, damn!

Liu Bei was killed by Guan Yu?

If this got back to Earth, who would believe it?

Qin Jun was caught between laughter and helplessness, it seemed the system had transported Guan Yu back a little too early, taking Guan Yu who had become god-like after death to before he met Liu Bei. But with his current prowess in the Transforming Void Realm, akin to an Earth Immortal on land, and having recognized Qin Jun as his master, how could Liu Bei possibly win him over?

Poor Liu Bei, in another timespace, was beheaded by the brother who was fated to stand by his side before he even took the stage of history. This was enough to kill me with laughter.

Qin Jun held his belly, laughing non-stop, while Guan Yu and the rest were all mystified as they watched him. Was it really that funny?

"Liu Bei was indeed very hypocritical. He kept crying to me about his identity, pleading with me to help him support the Han Dynasty. He was utterly desperate," Zhang Fei said smacking his lips, causing Qin Jun to laugh even harder.

My goodness!

The iron triangle was broken just like that?

Qin Jun couldn’t stop laughing. He hoped Liu Bei’s fans wouldn’t blame him—it’s just another Liu Bei in a parallel universe, and even if they did blame him, he wasn’t afraid. Damn it, I’ve already crossed over; if you have the guts, come over and fight me!

"Then what?" Qin Jun finally managed to suppress his laughter after a good while, as everyone looked on, not knowing what to think.

No help for it, that joke could become a meme.

"With chaos abounding, I remembered Your Majesty’s words and raised an army to conquer the world. After ten years, having ruled the world, I sought the path of immortality with my brothers and joined a cultivation sect. After cultivating for over twenty years, I’ve achieved my current level of cultivation," Guan Yu said with a smile, the decades having passed by in a flash, which left him sighing with emotion.

Pfft—

Guan Yu united the world...

Qin Jun burst into laughter again, waving his hand as he said, "Forgive me for my uncontrollable laughter..."

Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao all directed strange looks at Guan Yu as if asking, "What’s the matter with His Majesty?"

Nezha too found it bewildering—was it actually that funny?

"Cough, cough, with your prowess in the Transforming Void Realm, is there anyone in the mortal realm who can stop you?" Qin Jun asked, trying to hold back his laughter to the point of tears.

"Alas, behind every power in the mortal realm, there is the shadow of immortals and deities, but they don’t intervene directly," Guan Yu sighed, his ten years clearly not having been easy.

Qin Jun realized that in the time of the Journey to the West, the world of immortals and mortals was not yet completely separate, which was to be expected.

Subsequently, he continued to ask about the information on the eight hundred and ninety thousand strong Weiqin Army. It turned out that there were many well-known generals in the army, such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong, Wei Yan, Dian Wei, and so on. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were closest to the other four, so they took them along when searching for the path of cultivation, leaving the others with only the cultivation method Guan Yu passed down.

Perhaps it was fate’s design that allowed the Five Tiger Generals to gather once again.

But from now on they should be known as the Five Tiger Divine Generals!

And so, Qin Jun led the nearly one million people back to the city in a grand procession, causing a sensation throughout the city.

Daji, Li, You Fenghuang, and others came to congratulate Guan Yu after learning that he had broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm, as Guan Yu used to be Qin Jun’s strongest combat general. Of course, Roaring Sky Dog had always been hiding his true capabilities.

As for the eight hundred and ninety thousand strong Weiqin Army, Qin Jun decided to still place them in the kingdom’s battlefield because most of the soldiers were only in the energy refining realm.

"Your Majesty, when shall we march to battle?"

At the banquet, Guan Yu asked eagerly.

Zhang Fei and the other three were still not back to their senses, upon arriving at Guarding Slaughter City, they had encountered many individuals with auras stronger than theirs, leaving them dazed. Only Zhao Yun was handling it better as his cultivation was higher than the others.

"You all rest for a few days, then I will arrange for you to go to the front lines," Qin Jun said with a smile, curious to see if the mythological heroes of the Three Kingdoms could make a name for themselves.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu and the group became visibly excited.

Although the banquet wasn’t as lively as the one after defeating the Demon King of Bull, Guan Yu and his comrades were all quite jovial, especially Zhang Fei, whose roaring voice was as loud as a drum.

"Your Majesty, when can you arrange for me to go to another world?"

Daji moved close to Qin Jun and whispered coquettishly, aggravated to see Qin Jun’s cultivation nearing a level to surpass her own, how could she not be anxious?

Qin Jun frowned slightly; Daji was the Nine-Tailed Fox with Nvwa as her predestined backing, and her path to power was certainly easier than Guan Yu’s, but that didn’t guarantee absolute safety.

"I can only transport you. I cannot guarantee your safety, and you might be gone for decades," Qin Jun said solemnly. Daji hesitated upon hearing this.

The thought of being away from Qin Jun for decades was indeed tormenting.

So the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Three days later, Guan Yu and the four others, specially designated by Qin Jun as the Five Tiger Divine Generals, led dozens of capable lieutenants to various front lines to provide support. These lieutenants were renowned generals of the Three Kingdoms era, but unrecognized in the land without a ruler.

"To treat the world as a chessboard, interesting," Qin Jun thought, practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, a spirited smile on his face.

Now, all he needed to do was command his troops, and after settling affairs, he could concentrate on cultivating and becoming stronger, a sensation that was very pleasurable.

No wonder so many people fought tooth and nail for power.

In the following days, reports of the Five Tiger Generals’ exploits came in, making Qin Jun look good.

"Reporting! General Zhao Zilong took the enemy general’s head among a million soldiers, his silver armor not a drop bloodied!"

"Reporting! General Zhang Fei scattered tens of thousands of Huguan City cavalry with a shout, frightening the enemy into surrendering!"

"Reporting! General Guan Yu split the enemy’s city wall with a single strike!"
