Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Fame Spreads Everywhere [Fourth Update]

"We meet by chance among the mountains and streams, we’ll return the favor when fate allows."

Qin Jun burst into laughter without turning his head back, not because he was generous, but what could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Gui Hai offer him in return?

He didn’t even deem it worthy of his attention.

What he had just done was simply accumulating virtue!

In life, what one pursues is to quickly repay kindnesses and settle scores, kill those you dislike, save those you’re fond of, all guided by the conscience.

Though selfish, this is human nature. In his previous life, he didn’t have the capability to act as such and had to live a life unlike his true self, but in this life, he intended to be his true self.

"Your Majesty, why did you save them?" Zhong Kui asked curiously. Most emperors weren’t so kindhearted, and he had assumed Qin Jun had his own motives, otherwise, he wouldn’t have falsely claimed to be the Heavenly Emperor.

"I don’t need a reason to do what I do," Qin Jun said with a smile.

However, his mind was pondering why Zhu Bajie hadn’t shown up yet.

Could it be that he was still asleep?

The more Qin Jun thought about it, the more likely it seemed. A dog can’t change its appetite for crap, and a pig can’t stop being lazy.

The two strolled on.

Before long, Gui Hai and his senior sister actually caught up with them.

"Heavenly Emperor, don’t walk so fast!" Gui Hai called out urgently.

The young woman beside him, still pale-faced, scrutinized Qin Jun with skepticism. She didn’t believe any of the ghost stories about the Heavenly Emperor.

Qin Jun ignored them, and Zhong Kui was even less interested in making idle chatter with them.

As the two continued moving forward, seeing this, Gui Hai quickly approached Qin Jun and said humbly, "Where are you going? Do you need my help?"

"What help can you offer? You just want me to protect you, right?" Qin Jun glanced at him with disdain.

The young woman couldn’t stand his attitude and couldn’t help but rebuke, "He’s not any Heavenly Emperor, stop flattering him."

Upon hearing this, Gui Hai immediately shot her a glare; she was truly ignorant.

He himself never believed that Qin Jun was the Heavenly Emperor, but Qin Jun had saved their lives and clearly possessed exceptional strength. He was taking the opportunity to build a connection, only for his astute senior sister to expose his intentions, plunging the atmosphere into awkwardness.

"Do you know which way leads to a city?" Qin Jun suddenly asked.

Zhong Kui was unfamiliar with the Eastern Flame Domain, so they were wandering aimlessly, clueless about their destination.

Upon hearing this, Gui Hai quickly nodded excitedly, "I know, the closest city is Wild Willow City. It has a transport location; you can go anywhere from there."

The young woman hesitated, but in the end, she didn’t speak up. After all, Qin Jun had saved them; as harsh as she was, she couldn’t just turn her back on them.

If he could save them, killing them would be just as effortless.

"All right then, lead the way!" Qin Jun said, nodding. He now had an even higher opinion of Gui Hai.

This kid knew how to behave, guessing right away that Qin Jun wanted to use the teleportation gate.

Compared to a long journey, a teleportation gate was obviously more convenient.

Gui Hai was immediately delighted and quickly led the way, bowing and scraping.

The young woman furrowed her brows, wondering why her junior brother, usually so aloof, seemed so servile in front of Qin Jun?

Little did she know, Gui Hai’s attitude varied with the person. Towards his sect siblings, he always looked down on them, but he was respectful towards real powerhouses.

His life experiences taught him that in this world, the strong are revered, and geniuses are just a nicer term for the weak.

They traveled in silence.

Soon, the group of four walked out of the woods.

Bored, Qin Jun thought to himself, "Let’s use the random lottery chance!"

Apart from the random lottery chance, he also possessed a skill inheritance opportunity and a God and Demon dungeon chance.

"Ding! The random lottery is starting..."

The system notification sounded, and Qin Jun began planning his attack on the God Temple.

A gentleman may take revenge after ten years, and although he considered himself a gentleman, he had no intention of waiting a decade.

"Senior, may I ask why you have come to the Endless Domain?" Gui Hai couldn’t help but strike up conversation.

"Endless Domain?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and asked, swiftly changing the subject.

"The Endless Domain is the largest mountain range in the Eastern Flame Domain, spanning the entire continent. We are only at its periphery. Rumor has it that deep within the Endless Domain, many terrifying members of the Demon Clan with great power reside, and no one has truly journeyed through the entire Endless Domain," Gui Hai, having been led by Qin Jun’s question, began to explain about the Endless Domain.

Qin Jun expressed his amazement. The Eastern Flame Domain was much larger than the Southern Domain, with a mountain range running across it—it was truly a wonder of nature.

However, he wasn’t particularly concerned with the Eastern Flame Domain; he had no intention of staying long.

"You are not from the Eastern Flame Domain, are you?" Gui Hai asked tentatively.

In his opinion, people from other domains must be strong, otherwise they wouldn’t have the qualifications to enter the Eastern Flame Domain or the capability to do so.

Qin Jun nodded, and Gui Hai didn’t dwell on the question but shifted the conversation with a smile, "Senior, do you know about the Heavenly Convention? Dongfang Ji, the top talent of the Eastern Flame Domain, died there, shocking the entire domain."

Upon this topic, even his senior sister showed a sighing expression.

Dongfang Ji was a legendary figure in the Eastern Flame Domain; everyone thought he would dominate the Heavenly Convention, but no one expected him to die there, an unbelievable turn of events.

"I’ve heard about it, what about it?" Qin Jun asked with raised eyebrows, the one who killed Dongfang Ji is right in front of you, would you wet your pants if you knew?

"This matter has enraged the Dongfang Domain Master, who even threatened to annihilate the Southern Domain," Gui Hai continued, pausing for a moment before laughing, "The one who killed Dongfang Ji is named Holy Emperor of Qin, from the Southern Domain. It’s really strange that such a remarkable figure could come from such a backward place as the Southern Domain."

"Now, the Holy Emperor of Qin’s fame has spread across dozens of domains."

Oh?

Have I become famous?

Qin Jun smiled slightly, keeping his achievements and name hidden.

Zhong Kui also couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile, wondering if Gui Hai would still dare to chat if he knew that Qin Jun was the Holy Emperor of Qin.

"If he can kill Dongfang Ji, should the Holy Emperor of Qin survive, he will surely become a giant amongst the powers of heaven and earth," Gui Hai said enviously. The desire for the path of the strong ran deep in his blood, which is why he had always been dissatisfied with his environment, hoping to leap out of it.

Now that he had met Qin Jun, he felt his opportunity had arrived.

"Has the Dongfang Domain Master taken action yet?" Qin Jun suddenly asked.

The Eastern Flame Domain was very powerful. He had even heard in the Heavenly Realm that the domain master of the Eastern Flame Domain had once stood up to the God Temple. This was the first time they had sent their offspring to the Heavenly Convention, and unexpectedly, it ended in death, which was a severe blow to their prestige. The domain master must have been furious.

"I’m not sure, most of the talents who participated in the Heavenly Convention haven’t returned from the God Temple yet. The Dongfang Domain Master probably wouldn’t leave the Eastern Flame Domain," Gui Hai stroked his chin in thought, but was puzzled as to why Qin Jun was concerned about the Dongfang Domain Master.

If their statuses were vastly different, he surely wouldn’t care this much.

Could it be...

At that thought, Gui Hai felt even more excited, as if he had grabbed onto a thick and sturdy thigh.

Just then, a group of cultivators flew across the sky, dressed in red robes and with four of them carrying a golden palanquin. It was extremely conspicuous in the air.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes because all of those red-robed cultivators were at the Earth Immortal Realm, and the person inside was someone he couldn’t see through.
