Chapter 411: Chapter 411: The Ambitious Saint Queen【Third Update】

"Your Divine Power is indeed impressive, but your cultivation is too weak!"

The Nine Spirits Yuan Sage ripped apart his amiable facade, transforming into a ferocious lion’s head, and with a roar, he bit towards Crown Prince Qin. The attack was so sudden that Crown Prince Qin had no time to react and was swallowed into the lion’s mouth.

Brutal!

The Nine Spirits Yuan Sage’s Swallowing Heaven and Earth Divine Power was all about being fast, accurate, and ruthless!

A direct, clean bite!

Afterwards, the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage reverted to his original form and licked his lips, chuckling, "The taste was mediocre."

Although Qin Jun had seen it before, he still couldn’t help but swallow his saliva—it was too brutal and disgusting!

Even if that Divine Power was formidable, he didn’t want it!

It was completely unbecoming of an Emperor’s demeanor!

In the future, when wooing ladies, they would probably complain about his bad breath.

If the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage heard his inner mockery, he would surely be depressed to death.

This was his mighty skill that shook the world!

"Has everyone you’ve swallowed died?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"Depends on my mood. I spared that youngster just now; he might prove to be useful," the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage shrugged and smiled. Qin Jun nodded; he too could tell that Crown Prince Qin had an extraordinary background. Judging by his attire, he had quite the royal presence.

The cultivators in the distance all looked at the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage in horror, and even Qi Xie perched on the roof trembled.

Crown Prince Qin was defeated just like that?

And he was... eaten?

Qi Xie swallowed hard, well aware of Crown Prince Qin’s strength. Although his cultivation wasn’t top-notch, with the help of his Heavenly Magnet Divine Power, Crown Prince Qin was among the top ten in strength within the Holy City and had even made it onto the Heavenly Rankings.

Qin Jun turned back to Qi Xie and smiled, "Come over here for a moment."

Qi Xie had exceptional talent, and Qin Jun had a bit of a fondness for talent, so he wanted to win him over.

Who knew that upon hearing this, Qi Xie immediately turned and flew away at peak speed, making Qin Jun both annoyed and amused.

"What shall we do next?" Chang’e asked; she also had lost her interest in continuing to wander around.

Qin Jun looked towards Sacred Emperor Peak and said, "Let’s head back to Wangbei Tavern for now!"

The mandatory task required him to attend the Heavenly Convention. What if he killed the Sacred Emperor now and caused the Heavenly Convention to be postponed?

Would he lose five levels straight?

That would be too painful...

Moreover, considering that the Sacred Emperor dared to invite him even knowing Nezha and King Huang Feng’s strength, he must have some kind of trump card. Reflecting on his previous guess that the Sacred Emperor might have submitted to an even greater mysterious force, Qin Jun felt it was necessary to investigate the Sacred Emperor’s power first.

"Why hasn’t Shen Gongbao come to find me yet?"

As Qin Jun walked along, he muttered. Shen Gongbao had arrived at the Holy Dynasty well in advance, and with so much time, that guy must have accomplished something.

He wasn’t worried about Shen Gongbao defecting; his loyalty level had reached ninety-seven. After heading to the Holy Dynasty, his loyalty had even increased, which puzzled him.

"Perhaps because the news about Your Majesty has not yet reached his ears," the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage laughed. He had heard of Shen Gongbao, a capable civil servant who also possessed True Immortal Realm cultivation.

Qin Jun nodded. The group of four made their way to Wangbei Tavern, unchallenged on their path, with people retreating like the tide at the sight of them.

...

The news that Crown Prince Qin was swallowed whole by the Lion Demon spread throughout the Holy City, throwing the citizens into a state of panic.

In the Sacred Emperor Peak, within the Royal Garden.

The Sacred Emperor, who was resting and chatting with the Saintess, suddenly frowned deeply, his right hand gripping the teacup suddenly tightened, and with a ’ping’ sound, the teacup shattered, with tea splashing onto the stone table.

"What’s wrong?" the Saintess asked caringly.

"Qin Jun’s had an accident!" the Sacred Emperor said gravely, as every rustle of wind and blade of grass in the entire Holy City was visible to him. Therefore, he had also witnessed the moment when the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint swallowed Crown Prince Qin.

Unfortunately, everything had happened too quickly for him to intervene.

The Saintess frowned and asked, "Crown Prince Qin is among the top ten experts of the Holy City. What kind of accident could he have?"

A glint of joy passed through her eyes. Crown Prince Qin was not her son, but the position of the crown prince was of utmost importance, carrying unimaginable power. Because Crown Prince Qin had been monopolizing it, her own sons had no opportunity. Therefore, upon hearing that something had happened to Crown Prince Qin, her first reaction was one of delight, but she managed to conceal her emotions well.

She would celebrate in private later!

"Qin Emperor has come," the Sacred Emperor slowly rose to his feet and said. Upon hearing this, the Saintess’s face paled, and she stood up as well.

"What should we do now? The Heavenly Convention is still half a month away!" the Saintess asked anxiously. They had analyzed the strengths of Nezha and King Huang Feng, who were capable of defeating the Invincible Demon Lord. Naturally, they could also defeat the Holy Dynasty, especially now that a mysterious and powerful figure known as the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint had emerged, purportedly replacing Nezha’s position as a follower.

By now, who didn’t know that the people around Qin Jun were the strongest, and he would only keep the strongest underlings by his side?

Did this not mean that the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint had become the strongest under Qin Emperor?

"Tonight, I will negotiate with him," the Sacred Emperor said with a heavy voice, sensing that Crown Prince Qin was still alive, which indicated that Qin Jun was deliberately forcing him to show himself.

The Saintess asked worriedly, "People from the God Temple haven’t arrived yet. Is it really wise to confront Qin Emperor directly?"

If this had been before, she would have been confident that the Sacred Emperor was invincible in the world, but after witnessing the Sacred Emperor being defeated by the Invincible Demon Lord, she no longer believed so.

And considering that the Invincible Demon Lord had now been defeated by an underling of Qin Emperor, the gap was all too clear.

"Rest assured, I have a way to prevent Qin Emperor from daring to make a move!" the Sacred Emperor spoke with conviction, pausing for a moment before changing the subject. "With the Heavenly Convention approaching, the plan to eliminate Qin must begin. If I am not absolutely confident, I wouldn’t take action, so you need to prepare well. The Mother Empress is too dominant, and I don’t want the Holy Dynasty to fall under her control."

Although he indulged the Empress, this world esteemed men over women. If he allowed the Empress to take charge, he would be disgracing his ancestors.

At the mention of the Empress, the Saintess’s brows involuntarily knitted together.

This old woman, too difficult to deal with!

...

Night fell.

Qin Jun was meditating in his room, when a sudden gust of cold wind blew open the window, startling him into opening his eyes.

"Who’s there?"

The one who spoke was not Qin Jun, but the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint who had instantly appeared in front of Qin Jun. Chang’e also materialized, as they were staying next door and could teleport over instantly.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, and a faint silhouette gradually solidified, clothed in a golden imperial robe, majestic as the Heavenly Emperor—it was indeed the Sacred Emperor.

"The Sacred Emperor?"

Qin Jun sat on the bed and smiled as he asked, having seen the Sacred Emperor’s statues all over the Holy Dynasty.

His face was full of a cat-toying-with-a-mouse kind of mockery. He had not expected the Sacred Emperor to dare to seek him out personally. Was he seeking death, or seeking death?

"Worthy of being Qin Emperor, the subject of widespread discussion in the Southern Domain—serene despite his youth," the Sacred Emperor said with a smile, seeming as benevolent as an elder, yet his gaze tightened when he looked at the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint and Chang’e.

So strong!

Chang’e alone was enough to put great pressure on him, to say nothing of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. To his Divine Consciousness, the Saint seemed like a black hole; any Divine Consciousness projected towards him vanished without a trace.

"Sacred Emperor, don’t you know that seeking me out is a very dangerous affair?" Qin Jun asked with narrowed eyes and a smile, referring to himself as "I" in front of the Sacred Emperor, which, if word got out, would unquestionably cause a great stir.
