The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 386: Destroy the Hao Ri Alliance

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Destroy the Hao Ri Alliance

After a brief encounter with the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Envoys, Qin Jun continued his sword training.

Time swiftly moved forward, and noon arrived.

Liu Bowen, accompanied by Evening Star, entered the courtyard; at this moment, Evening Star was still quite embarrassed. He once bragged that he was only slightly less powerful than the Southern Sea Dragon King, never imagining that Qin Jun would clash with the Dragon King so soon.

Facing the music after boasting is one of life’s most awkward moments.

"You may leave now."

Qin Jun said to Liu Bowen. Although Liu Bowen was very curious about what Qin Jun wanted from Evening Star, he dared not defy Qin Jun’s orders and obediently turned to leave.

When only the two of them remained in the courtyard, amidst Evening Star’s slightly anxious mood, Qin Jun slowly spoke up, "I wish to entrust you with a task."

"Your Majesty, what task is it?" Evening Star asked cautiously.

Could it be that Qin Jun was going to take out his anger on him because of Li?

The night before, Li Bai had specifically sent a message to inform him that Qin Jun had inquired about his dealings with the Southern Sea Dragon King, causing him anxiety all night long.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Qin Jun had him summoned.

"You should be aware of the mysterious disappearances and returns of Yuanba, Roaring Sky Dog, and Guan Yu, right?" Qin Jun said with a smiling squint.

Zhang Jue is still inside the God and Demon instance, not having come out yet. Since he subdued An Lang, he got another chance at the God and Demon instance, so he planned to send Evening Star back.

This old fellow’s cultivation might not leap much higher, but he might be able to get some elixirs from the Supreme Elder or perhaps recruit some immortals to return with him.

"Your Majesty, do you mean..."

Evening Star suddenly became excited. Although he considered himself a civil official, he also hoped to grow stronger in cultivation.

Unfortunately, he was mistaken. Qin Jun did not possess the ability to drastically increase one’s cultivation; they had to rely on themselves.

"Next, I will use supreme divine power to send you to another world. A thousand days will pass there, while only one day will go by here," Qin Jun said in a deep voice, which made Evening Star’s eyes widen.

About the God and Demon instance, Qin Jun had those who had gone keep tight-lipped.

Of course, some members of the Weiqin Army brought back by the Golden Peng Army and Guan Yu couldn’t keep their mouths shut, but fortunately, it didn’t cause too much of a stir.

"System, which God and Demon instance can Evening Star go to?" Qin Jun asked inwardly.

"Ding! The God and Demon instance available to Evening Star is Journey to the West."

And then?

That’s all?

"System, prepare to send Evening Star into the Journey to the West instance!"

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, and then he spoke earnestly to the still bewildered Evening Star, "Once I have sent you over, remember to find ways to become stronger and recruit powerful allies for me. When the time is ripe, I will bring you and those willing to follow you back!"

Evening Star nodded, somewhat perplexed, pondering over the origins of Qin Jun’s divine powers.

After all, this wasn’t the first time Qin Jun had transported someone into a God and Demon instance, so Evening Star’s first reaction was not skepticism, but shock.

Soon, Evening Star disappeared from the spot, taken by the system into the spatial dimensions of Journey to the West.

"I hope you won’t disappoint me."

Qin Jun muttered to himself and then picked up the teacup on the stone table, the hot tea now cool, bringing a unique fragrance with the breeze.

...

After Evening Star left, the matter of the Fire-End Plain Priestess only escalated.

As the North Snow Peak’s sect leader and the idol of countless individuals, Hu Yuzhi’s confrontation with the Priestess led to increasing denunciations of Qin Jun, despite some claims that Hu Yuzhi repeatedly provoked the Priestess. Many chose to ignore this fact.

Specially, the leader of the Demonic Dao, chief of the Nine Majesties of the Demonic Dao, and chief of the Hao Ri Alliance, immediately declared his intent to slay the Qin Emperor. It was rumored that Hu Yuzhi had an unspeakable relationship with the chief of the Hao Ri Alliance, so his reaction was even more vehement than the other four powers of the Righteous Dao.

When this news reached Qin Jun, he scoffed.

"Solar Alliance?"

Qin Jun stroked his chin in thought, his gaze sweeping over the many generals seated below him.

A mischievous smile curled up the corners of his mouth. "Send someone to the Fate Pavilion to buy a map of the Solar Alliance. Then, who is willing to go to the Solar Alliance?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned. Was Qin Jun intending to take down the Solar Alliance?

"I am willing to go!"

Li Yuanba volunteered enthusiastically, his face brimming with excitement.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You? Don’t overestimate your capabilities."

Li Yuanba, at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, heading to the Solar Alliance? Wasn’t that a death wish?

"Your Majesty, let me go," King Huang Feng said with a lick of his lips, his rat-like face grinning with a particularly sinister chill.

"Remember, make it quick and clean!" Qin Jun said with a smile, his tone paused, implying more profoundly, "The bigger the commotion, the better."

After all, the holy dynasty was already watching him, and he no longer had any reservations—the bigger the uproar, the better, to use the outcome of the Solar Alliance to deter other forces.

King Huang Feng nodded. The Southern Sea Dragon King had taken Li by force, leaving him deeply remorseful, so he wanted to make amends for his guilt.

"The Solar Alliance, huh? Your doom awaits!"

King Huang Feng thought with a sneer, and the sight of his smile made the scholars shiver inside.

After all, King Huang Feng was a demon, and ordinary people feared him; if it weren’t for Qin Jun keeping him in check, who knows what havoc King Huang Feng might wreak.

Soon after, Cheng Yi took King Huang Feng to the Fate Pavilion in Guarding Slaughter City, where any intelligence could be bought for a price, as long as one could afford it.

...

Time passed quickly.

Qin Jun devoted himself to cultivation, and on the third day after King Huang Feng’s departure, he successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Transforming Void Realm.

One morning, Zhang Jiao finally returned.

"Ding! Due to the large number of people Zhang Jiao has brought back, the host is advised to go outside the city."

The system’s words brought a pleasant surprise to Qin Jun.

Indeed, with Zhang Jiao’s ability to charm and incite, he had not disappointed Qin Jun.

With that in mind, he promptly flew out of the city, with Nezha, who was acting as his bodyguard, quickly following behind.

The two soon arrived outside the city. Qin Jun did not fly too far but released Zhang Jiao in front of the city’s defending soldiers.

In an instant, a dense throng of soldiers materialized out of thin air in front of the city wall. As far as the eye could see, they were innumerable, filling an area of several thousand square kilometers like a sea of people.

"Sss—my heavens!"

"You scared me! How is this possible? Where did these people come from?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"How did so many soldiers suddenly appear?"

"Could it be the work of His Majesty?"

The city’s defending soldiers were in an uproar, each person appearing as if they had seen a ghost.

Qin Jun, too, was wide-eyed, and Nezha’s mouth gaped open.

Qin Jun noticed that all these soldiers wore yellow turbans around their necks, causing him to shudder. Could it be the infamous Yellow Turban Rebels from history?

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was the largest peasant uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Huaxia and was also the largest-scale uprising in Huaxia’s history, known historically as the Yellow Turban Chaos.

The Yellow Turban Rebels in the world of Journey to the West, with a completely new Zhang Jiao at the helm, would likely see a dramatic increase in strength and numbers.
