The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Tonight【3 updates】

"It seems the people from the God Temple haven’t arrived yet, or perhaps they are lurking in the shadows."

Qin Jun pondered that regardless of whether the people from the God Temple had come or not, he would wait until after the Heavenly Convention to see how things unfolded.

Perhaps this was karmic retribution. The forced summoning of a True Immortal Realm expert back then had led to a series of compulsory tasks thereafter.

As Qin Jun let his mind wander, he ascended the stairs.

Upon reaching the bustling first floor, he and Earth Traveler Monkey found an empty table to sit at. After ordering the best spiritual wine and dishes from the waiter, they began to chat casually.

The cultivators at the other tables were all very excited, and their conversations revolved almost exclusively around tonight’s banquet for the outstanding talents.

"Jin Wuhui arrived in the Holy City yesterday. It’s said that he has sparred with the Qilin’s son, but the outcome is unknown."

"Jin Wuhui? The number one talent of the Righteous Dao? It’s rumored that he has connections with the lineage of the Sacred Emperor, and his master is very powerful."

"I’m more optimistic about the demonic genius Qi Xie! That guy is ruthless!"

"Tsk tsk, you all are underestimating the Qilin’s son? He broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm five years ago!"

"Why aren’t any of you discussing the Spiritual Girl?"

Listening to their discussions, Qin Jun couldn’t help but think about Zhu Yanqing.

If Zhu Yanqing really was the Spiritual Girl, he could take her back with him tonight.

Her identity as the Spiritual Girl didn’t matter to him at all. If the Sacred Emperor discovered Zhu Yanqing’s connection to him, she could be in danger.

"What a banquet for talents, it’s all a joke. In front of His Majesty, those people still dare to call themselves geniuses." Earth Traveler Monkey chuckled. Although he was flattering, he truly recognized Qin Jun’s talent. At the age of seventeen, he was at the peak of the Transforming Void Realm, unparalleled in the Southern Domain.

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled. He didn’t care for the title of genius.

"Who is this peerless genius? Why do we not recognize him?"

A man from the neighboring table called out in a strange voice, drawing the attention of cultivators from the other tables towards Qin Jun.

Qin Jun remained indifferent, leaning casually with his right hand propping up his chin, and his gaze fixed towards the kitchen, waiting for the waiter to serve the food and drinks.

He might not care, but Earth Traveler Monkey couldn’t tolerate it. He immediately glared at the man and cursed, "Brat, do you know who you’re talking to?"

The man was quick-tempered too. Being cursed by Earth Traveler Monkey, he immediately slapped the table and stood up, followed by cultivators from the neighboring tables also rising together. Fourteen people in total, all looking towards Qin Jun and his companion with menacing expressions.

This scene made the onlookers show sympathy or schadenfreude. It was clear they were somewhat afraid of this group of cultivators.

"Oh, so you’re confident because you’ve got numbers," Earth Traveler Monkey said with a laugh, arms crossed, but his diminutive stature caused others to jeer.

The weak daring to act arrogantly, it was practically a death wish!

These cultivators then encircled Qin Jun and Earth Traveler Monkey. Qin Jun was not the least bit concerned; the strongest among this group was only at the peak of the Transforming Void Realm, and even without Earth Traveler Monkey’s intervention, he could handle them.

"Gentlemen from the Xuan Palace, please don’t cause trouble, no trouble," the tavern keeper pleaded as he hurried over, wearing a pained smile. If Qin Jun were to be severely injured at Wangbei Tavern, who would dare to stay there in the future, feeling completely insecure?

Unfortunately, the leader of the men paid no attention to him, and rolling up his sleeves with a fierce smile, said, "I, Xuanbin, love to expose fake geniuses!"

Pfft—

Expose fakes?

Qin Jun almost choked with laughter, and said grumpily, "So you are the messenger of justice, the seeker of truth?"

Xuanbin was puzzled by Qin Jun’s question, failing to understand his meaning, but he was also too lazy to think more. He immediately swung his fist towards Qin Jun’s head, showing no mercy at all.

Earth Traveler Monkey jumped up and slapped Xuanbin across the face. Blood mixed with teeth flew from his mouth as his body spun towards the door and flew out.

The other Xuan Palace cultivators were angered into action, but with a push from Earth Traveler Monkey’s hands, they all felt an invisible, terrifying force hit them head-on, sending them flying out, blood spraying, their Golden Elixirs shattered by the impact.

Once the Golden Elixir shattered, his cultivation was completely lost. Even though his divine sea remained intact and re-cultivation wouldn’t be difficult, it would still require decades.

The Earth Traveler Monkey’s attack could not be described as anything less than vicious.

Qin Jun appeared as if he hadn’t seen it, waving with a smile to the waiter carrying the food and drinks, who was frozen in place, "Aren’t you going to serve the dishes?"

The waiter snapped out of his daze and hurriedly walked over with trembling steps, carrying the plates.

The other diners were stunned. It wasn’t long before they began to whisper among themselves.

"Just who is this young man who dares to strike a Young Master of Xuan Palace?"

"Though Xuan Palace is powerful, Xuanbin’s status is not very high. It serves him right to have kicked an iron plate."

"Who is that guy, really? His cultivation is completely inscrutable!"

"It looks like tonight’s banquet for the talented is becoming more and more interesting. It might even become a starting point for fame for many."

Qin Jun heard these voices, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Tonight would not be the night for prodigies to make their names. It would be the night when the Qin Emperor’s arrival in the Holy City was formally announced!

"You just wait, our Xuan Palace is not done with you!"

Xuanbin raged outside the tavern, his mouth bloody, a sight that would make anyone want to laugh.

After venting, he turned and ran, fearing he would be caught by the Earth Traveler Monkey.

Xuan Palace?

Qin Jun made a note of the name, to possibly look for trouble with them in the future.

...

The night fell.

Saint Dragon Restaurant, the largest tavern in the Holy City backed by the Saint Sect, was a place no one dared to mess with.

At this moment, the street in front of the restaurant was packed. Most of the crowd consisted of young cultivators moving back and forth, a never-ending stream of people.

Sun Lin, the son of the Qilin of Saint Sect, dressed in white robes like a sword immortal, was standing at the entrance greeting the guests. Of course, only the distinguished figures received his personal greeting. Ordinary people didn’t even have the privilege to enter the Saint Dragon Restaurant tonight.

"The demon prodigy Qi Xie, Young Master Qi has arrived!"

A servant announced loudly, causing a stir. Dressed in black, Qi Xie arrived, floating in the air, looking more sinister than ever in his attire, befitting the title of demon prodigy.

Coming face to face with Sun Lin, Qi Xie smiled and said, "Son of the Qilin, you better perform well tonight. Don’t stumble!"

With that, Qi Xie walked into the Saint Dragon Restaurant.

Sun Lin narrowed his eyes, while the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Was Qi Xie declaring war on Sun Lin?

"The Divine General’s Yang Shiqi has arrived!"

As the servant called out again, the crowd in front of the restaurant dispersed.

The name Yang Shiqi seemed to have a magical effect, causing anyone who heard it to shudder in fear.

A green-robed young man with blue trimmings strode forward, laughing merrily. He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, fair and lovely like a friendly young master next door, innocent and naive.

But he was known as the Little Demon Phoenix, having once killed a sixth-rank Demon Dragon with his fists and feet, sending shockwaves through the entire Sacred Empire.

Approaching Sun Lin, Yang Shiqi chuckled, "Sun Lin, tonight you’d better have a good fight with me!"

Sun Lin’s mouth twitched at these words, and he quickly gesticulated with a smile, "This is a banquet. How could we possibly fight here?"

Despite his words, everyone understood that tonight was bound to witness numerous brilliant sparrings, and even many important figures were secretly observing the Saint Dragon Restaurant.
