Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Demonic Emperor Appears [Fourth update]

"Release the Sacred Emperor!"

The right general of Heavengift bellowed commandingly, like a war deity from the Nine Heavens, his presence imposing.

As for the left general of Heavengift, he did not dare to say a word; after being nearly scared out of his wits by the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint last time, he could not face the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint again.

Qin Jun looked around at the oncoming crowd of powerful individuals with a mocking gaze; the strongest among them were merely at the Golden Immortal Realm, hardly worth his attention.

"Why should I release him, from today onward, the throne of the Sacred Emperor is mine!" Qin Jun laughed aloud, not the least bit concealing his ambition!

This immediately caused an uproar in the surrounding streets, with cultivators passing the word around until his declaration swept through the entire Holy City like a whirlwind.

"How audacious! Are you plotting insurrection?"

A middle-aged general shouted angrily. As soon as his words fell, Qin Jun’s gaze turned towards him.

Qin Jun sneered coldly, "Old Man Yi, kill him!"

A warning to the monkeys by killing a chicken!

So that no one would take him as a joke!

"Yes!"

Old Man Yi answered, and as his voice faded, he vanished into thin air, reappearing in the blink of an eye before the middle-aged general. With a swift motion of his right hand across the man’s neck, he decapitated him; blood sprayed toward the Cangqiong.

This scene sent chills down the spines of all the officials loyal to the Imperial Dynasty.

"To the victor go the spoils, and the victor is king. The Sacred Emperor is incompetent; it is time for me to rule over you all!" Qin Jun raised his hands triumphantly, laughing with boundless spirit. As he spoke, the nine-dragon Supreme Emperor’s robe adorned his body, transforming him from a graceful young man into an almighty Emperor Di, a pomp that looked down upon all beings, invoking awe in the hearts of the civil and military officials of the Imperial Dynasty.

But they quickly suppressed this awe.

"You dare kill the Sacred Emperor, are you not afraid of being struck by heavenly thunder?" bellowed the right general of Heavengift, who had been indoctrinated since birth to serve the Sacred Emperor and could not bear this defiance.

Qin Jun, sneering, swept his gaze over them, then asked, "Was it the Sacred Emperor who ruled over the Human Clan of the Southern Domain from the beginning?"

The pressing question left everyone at a loss for words. Indeed, before the Imperial Dynasty, there had been even more ancient reigns.

In the last thousand years, increasing dissatisfaction with the Sacred Emperor emerged. Qin Jun’s words struck a chord, and hesitation seeped into many.

Qin Jun was stronger than the Sacred Emperor, so what was the harm in following him?

Only, Qin Emperor’s reputation was not good, said to be tyrannical and ruthless.

"Before the Sacred Emperor, the Human Clan of the Southern Domain was ruled by the Yimo Emperor; you’ve all surely heard of this!" Qin Jun stated with a meaningful smile.

It was time for a show of his Divine Power of rhetoric!

Alright, showing off now.

Everyone fell silent, fully understanding what Qin Jun meant, yet they refused to yield, for although they had harbored rebellious thoughts for a while, it did not mean they acknowledged Qin Emperor.

"The one beside me is the Yimo Emperor himself. He was suppressed for ten thousand years, and it was I who rescued him!" Qin Jun suddenly pointed at Old Man Yi, causing everyone’s eyes to widen in shock.

The Yimo Emperor?

How could that be possible?

The initial reaction of the listeners was disbelief; the Yimo Emperor had become the stuff of legend, how could he still be alive?

Apart from the Sacred Emperor and Empress, no one could live for tens of thousands of years.

"Hmph!"

Feeling the multitude of skeptical gazes, Old Man Yi snorted coldly. Then his withered and feeble body suddenly began to swell, his skin rippling with moisture, his visage growing younger. His straw-like white hair turned black rapidly, and his shabby clothes transformed into formidable black regal attire.

Qin Jun watched, his pupils narrowing; damn, this guy could also transform?

Soon, Old Man Yi transformed from a man in his seventies or eighties to a man in his thirties, his arrogant and unrestrained black hair waving in the wind, his muscular frame filling the brocade clothes, with two black dragon heads on his shoulders, a jade belt at his waist, and blood-colored trouser legs. His face was wickedly handsome, and his body exuded imperial authority many times stronger than Qin Jun’s.

Damn!

He was so handsome!

Qin Jun instantly felt envious; although it was to reveal his identity, he shouldn’t be stealing the limelight!

The onlookers were stunned, unlike Qin Jun, who had a lesser cultivation, the imposing aura that Old Man Yi, in the late stages of the Scattered Immortal Realm, emitted made everyone unable to harbor any thoughts of resistance, some even felt an urge to kneel, including both the left and right generals of Heavengift.

Could he truly be the Yimo Emperor?

Such a thought surfaced in the minds of the officials of the Imperial Dynasty, filling them with dread.

"Hmph! My realm was stolen by him. Now, I entrust my realm to Qin Emperor. Whoever disagrees, dies!" Old Man Yi pointed at the Sacred Emperor and sneered; no, he should now be addressed as Yimo Emperor.

Domineering!

Yimo Emperor made no effort to conceal his murderous intent, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.

Qin Jun smiled at the corners of his lips; who now among the Human Clan would dare accuse him of insurrection?

"I am willing to submit to Qin Emperor!"

Just then, a voice came from atop the Sacred Emperor’s peak; it was none other than Shen Gongbao, who swiftly flew over and declared loudly, "The Sacred Emperor is incompetent, the Empress and Imperial Daughters misgovern, neglecting the Imperial Dynasty and allowing the conflicts between orthodox and demonic paths to fester. Why should we foolishly persist in blind loyalty to him?"

He spoke, and immediately more than a dozen people echoed his sentiment.

"I concur!"

"Brother Shen speaks wisely!"

"Hmph! I never respected the Sacred Emperor anyway!"

The right general of Heavengift watched, dumbfounded, as so many shifted their allegiance.

Even the Sacred Emperor, with a deathly pale face, couldn’t help but look up in shock, his mouth agape, his eyes brimming with disbelief.

Under Shen Gongbao’s suggestive glance, more and more people began to kneel in the air before Qin Jun.

"Awesome!"

Qin Jun chuckled to himself, Shen Gongbao was indeed an ace up his sleeve. With his instigation, Qin Jun’s accession to the throne wouldn’t provoke too much unrest.

"What are you all doing!"

The right general of Heavengift trembled with anger; after a moment of silence, even the palace master of the Divine Generals Palace knelt down, a person of very high status within the Imperial Dynasty.

As he knelt, the rest eventually compromised, leaving only the right and left generals of Heavengift standing firm, with the soldiers all looking at each other, clearly uncertain.

"You dare!"

A sharp reprimand was heard as the Empress and Imperial Daughters flew down from the top of the Sacred Emperor’s peak.

Seeing the rejuvenated Yimo Emperor, the Empress trembled, pointing at Yimo Emperor and berating, "Old thing, do you really want to be my enemy?"

"You wronged me once before, now will you hurt me once more?" the Empress questioned sorrowfully, creating an uproar amongst the crowd.

The Empress had a relationship with the Yimo Emperor?

If indeed that was true, everything else made sense, for how could the Sacred Emperor have easily seized power after the Yimo Emperor’s disappearance?

Faced with the Empress’s interrogation, Yimo Emperor’s eyes revealed complex emotions, and he remained silent.

"Now, you kill him for me, or I will never forgive you!" the Empress implored Yimo Emperor, pointing at Qin Jun, causing Yimo Emperor’s brows to furrow.

The right general of Heavengift’s spirits lifted, and the Sacred Emperor looked up with surprise.

The rest were left exchanging puzzled looks; could there be another twist in the story? Could the Empress persuade the Yimo Emperor?

Qin Jun’s face broke into a mocking smile; previously, Yimo Emperor might have been swayed, but now he was utterly loyal to Qin Jun. How could he possibly rebel and kill his master?
