The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 413: Hostile Relationships

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Hostile Relationships

God Temple is powerful!

These four words alone gave Qin Jun a headache, as things were indeed developing in the worst direction he had feared.

Looking at the Sacred Emperor, who stood with his back to the moonlight, his face obscured, Qin Jun’s mood grew even more irritable. He disliked the feeling of his opponent having him figured out.

But if he killed the Sacred Emperor now, it would inevitably bring down the wrath of the God Temple. Then the Heavenly Convention would surely be called off due to war, his forced mission would go uncompleted, dropping him five levels – just the thought made his heart ache.

Moreover, once the balance was broken, he would face endless troubles from the God Temple; even Old Man Yi had advised him against it.

Old Man Yi was well aware of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint’s prowess. Back then, even as a Demon Emperor, the number one figure in the Southern Domain, he had been defeated by the God Temple. Qin Jun would not be so blindly confident.

"Let him out!"

Qin Jun said to the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint in a deep voice. With those words, the Sacred Emperor’s tense expression instantly relaxed, and he let out a breath of relief.

The Nine Spirits Yuan Saint nodded, and immediately spat out Crown Prince Qin, like a sesame seed being spit out. As it fell to the ground, it rapidly enlarged, and finally turned into a human form, trembling on the ground.

The once-mighty Crown Prince Qin curled up on the ground, incessantly muttering, "Spare me... spare me..."

The Sacred Emperor was heartbroken, but he showed no sign of dissatisfaction on the surface. He took out a cyan jade scroll and threw it to Qin Jun, saying, "This scroll contains all the methods and materials needed for the kingdom’s elevation to an Imperial Dynasty."

Qin Jun glanced at it and then said to the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, "You check it for me first."

With the strength of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, even if there were problems or traps within the scroll, he could easily deal with them, but it was not the same for Qin Jun. Just at the ninth level of the Transforming Void Realm, with a few tricks the Sacred Emperor could have killed him.

The Nine Spirits Yuan Saint scanned the scroll with his Divine Consciousness and knew everything within. He nodded and said, "There’s no problem."

The Sacred Emperor’s mouth twitched at this scene, thankful that he had not been deceitful.

Then Qin Jun looked at Crown Prince Qin, who was curled up and trembling on the ground, with a cold, grim smile on his face, "Take off one of his arms!"

The Sacred Emperor’s eyes widened in shock, yelling, "No!"

But it was too late. It was not the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, but Old Man Yi, who took action.

In a flash, he appeared before Crown Prince Qin and tore off his right arm, spattering blood all over the ground, while screams echoed through Wangbei Tavern, startling many cultivators to run out of their rooms.

"Uncle Yi, how could you do this!" the Sacred Emperor questioned angrily, his voice booming like low thunder.

Old Man Yi turned and glared, his eyes like a demonic creature of the night, startling the Sacred Emperor with a jump of his heart. He quickly picked up Crown Prince Qin and leaped out the window.

"Ding! Sub-quest completed—The Sacred Emperor’s Dread! The host has become enemies with the Sacred Emperor! Earned one God and Demon summoning opportunity, one God and Demon instance opportunity, one God and Demon legion summoning opportunity, one skill inheritance!"

The system prompt sounded, which was within Qin Jun’s expectations.

The reason for tearing off Crown Prince Qin’s right arm at the last moment was partly to vent his anger and partly to completely turn against the Sacred Emperor and complete the quest!

Only by strengthening himself could he contend with the God Temple!

"Your Majesty, if there is indeed a God Temple, it would be wise for you to avoid the Heavenly Convention," Nine Spirits Yuan Saint advised, although he was confident in his boundless magical power. But facing a force that even Old Man Yi feared, he dared not take it lightly. After all, he was not fighting alone; he had to protect Qin Jun.

"There’s still half a month left; let’s wait and see," Qin Jun shook his head. If he showed weakness now, there’d be a second time after the first.

It’s hard to fight and climb up, but easy to relax and fall down.

The Nine Spirits Yuan Saint nodded and with a wave of his sleeve, the bloodstains on the ground disappeared instantly, as did Crown Prince Qin’s right arm.

"Your Majesty, rest well," Chang’e said and then turned away, the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint did the same, while Old Man Yi remained silent, clearly seeing that the mood of the Saint Empress was low.

After thousands of years, unable to recognize the Sacred Emperor just from statues, but after witnessing him in person and sensing his aura, Old Man Yi was overwhelmed with endless sorrow.

After they left, Qin Jun finally said in his mind, "System! Begin the God and Demon summoning!"

The God Temple’s power may be unfathomable, but so what?

The fight still needs to be fought!

"Ding! Beginning random God and Demon summoning..."

...

Atop the Sacred Emperor Peak, in a palace, Crown Prince Qin clenched his teeth in fury, his face flushed red with bulging veins, as a royal physician tended to his wound.

"Qin’er, you should rest well for now!" the Sacred Emperor said gravely. With his right arm torn off, his combat strength was greatly reduced, Crown Prince Qin was not left-handed.

The Saint Empress and the princess stood behind him, looking at Crown Prince Qin with concern.

"What exactly happened? How could the opponent be so formidable? Why didn’t you take action?" the Saint Empress asked the Sacred Emperor, her tone accusatory.

The Sacred Emperor smiled bitterly, "The opponent is the Qin Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Saint Empress’s pupils shrank, and the royal physician who was treating Crown Prince Qin trembled, hastily bowing his head as if he hadn’t heard anything.

A lifetime bound to the Sacred Emperor Peak, the royal physician occasionally exchanged messages with the outside world, but he knew some things should not be spread.

"The Qin Emperor brought Nezha and Huang Feng with him?" the Saint Empress asked gravely. Crown Prince Qin was her own grandson whom she truly cherished, so upon mentioning the Qin Emperor, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"No, but he brought three individuals no less formidable than Nezha and Huang Feng, one of whom is the Lion Demon, who’s been causing a stir recently," the Sacred Emperor said with a bitter smile.

He was puzzled how Qin Jun, even with Old Man Yi backing him, could gather so many powerful figures, including powerful figures from the Demon Clan.

The Saint Empress fell silent, let out a sigh and said, "Then we can only wait for the God Temple to send someone."

Normally, they would not ask the God Temple for assistance, as it would come at a dire cost. But with the Qin Emperor’s formidable presence, they had no choice but to seek the God Temple’s help to eliminate him.

"By the way, Mother, I encountered Uncle Yi!" the Sacred Emperor changed the subject. Mentioning Old Man Yi his expression turned sour.

Old Man Yi’s strength still caused him to shiver.

After ten thousand years, who knew how much stronger Old Man Yi had become.

"Uncle Yi?" the Saint Empress frowned, searching her memory for the owner of this title. Her face paled when she recalled, exclaiming, "You mean the Demon..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she covered her mouth, realizing this was not to be spread.

The name of the Demon Emperor was a legend in the Southern Domain. To the Demonic Dao, who did not worship him? Even many from the Righteous Dao admired his style from back in the day.

Furthermore, before the Imperial Dynasty, the Demon Emperor had been the master of the Human Clan in the Southern Domain. If this news gets out, with the Demon Emperor’s call to arms, the rule of the Imperial Dynasty would be in grave danger. Moreover, with the Qin Emperor lurking and waiting.

"Let’s talk outside!"

The Sacred Emperor said gravely, he felt there was still room to win Old Man Yi back. When Uncle Yi was mentioned, Old Man Yi showed great emotional turmoil, and it was clear that the Saint Empress still mattered to him.

The thought of coaxing Old Man Yi over with the Saint Empress, then he could dispense with the God Temple’s power!
