The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 503

Chapter 503: 503

"Could there be some heavenly treasures nearby?"

Qin Jun frowned as he thought. The jade pendant he was wearing was a Spirit Treasure Sensing Jade he had won from a lottery two days ago, a congenital treasure capable of detecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures within a 3,000-meter radius. As long as it detected something, it would become hot.

He scanned his surroundings. The landscape was uneven, with a forest in front that was not dense, yet stretched out endlessly, with no end in sight.

While curious about what kind of heavenly treasures might be hidden around, he kept up with the steps of Gui Hai and his two companions.

As for heavenly treasures, he was merely curious; he didn’t necessarily have to compete for them. With his current wealth, he could easily buy whatever he wanted.

His Immortal Saint Body had already reached a bottleneck; simply relying on heavenly materials and earthly treasures was useless.

Moreover, the heavenly treasures near the city were probably of a common grade, or else hidden on someone’s person.

After entering the forest, he saw many cultivators coming and going, and even some setting up stalls on clearings within the woods.

As to why they didn’t set up stalls inside the city, Qin Jun understood—it was convenient here, and they didn’t have to pay any spirit stones for the space. Of course, safety outside the city was greatly reduced, making it easy to be robbed.

Qin Jun finally realized why the Spirit Treasure Sensing Jade had become hot; it was because of these stalls.

"It’s better to buy less from here; most of the items are plundered, and it would be troublesome if the original owners saw," Gui Hai said softly with a chuckle, noticing Qin Jun’s enthusiastic scanning and kindly reminding him.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

Would Qin Jun be afraid of trouble?

Definitely not.

Even a fearsome powerhouse like Blood Jun, ranked among the top ten in Cangbei State, had been easily killed by Zhong Kui in seconds. He really couldn’t think of anyone who could stop Qin Jun, maybe a domain lord!

Qin Jun nodded, and the group of four reached the city gate. After paying the spirit stone fee required to enter, they smoothly entered the city.

"All right, this is where we part ways!"

Qin Jun waved his hand and started walking down a certain street with Zhong Kui after speaking.

Gui Hai was stupefied. Was that it?

He hesitated, but seeing Qin Jun’s determined departure, he didn’t know what to say.

"Junior brother, why are you still standing there? Go after him!" the young woman urged. Qin Jun was young and influential, the very partner she had dreamed of in her cultivation, and she didn’t want to just let the opportunity slip away.

But she didn’t have the gall to pursue Qin Jun by herself.

Upon hearing her, Gui Hai gritted his teeth and followed.

"Senior, let me escort you to the teleportation location," Gui Hai approached Qin Jun and offered.

Qin Jun gave him a meaningful look and then nodded.

He could understand Gui Hai’s persistence and didn’t really reject it. At least Gui Hai had not directly voiced his own desires.

If he were in Gui Hai’s shoes, encountering an unimaginably strong person, he would definitely try to strike up a conversation too.

Just a bit of fortune from Qin Jun could change his whole life.

Sigh, have I unknowingly climbed so high?

Qin Jun mused on his high and lonely station, his gaze serene and inscrutable.

Zhong Kui shook his head with a smile and did not stop him.

On the contrary, Gui Hai’s sister became increasingly attentive, starting to chat with Qin Jun as though checking on his household registration; Qin Jun simply nodded or hummed in response.

"You think you can sleep with me?"

Qin Jun contemptuously thought to himself. Gui Hai no longer spoke; his face was dark with anger, wishing he could pull his sister away.

How shameful!

As a woman, how could she be so unreserved?

After navigating street after street for about an hour, the group finally arrived at the teleportation area.

This place was originally a square, with teleportation gates lined up to form streets. Each gate had several cultivators shouting in front of it, with wooden signs beside them listing the destinations.

Wow, this really feels like a bus station.

Qin Jun smiled, the bustling scene reminding him of his past life in Huaxia.

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, a female voice called out, clearly reaching Qin Jun’s ears. He instinctively looked around at the throng.

Turning to Gui Hai and his companions, they seemed not to have heard it.

"Your Majesty... save me..."

The woman’s voice sounded again, and Qin Jun followed it to see a girl about twenty meters away looking pitifully at him. The girl was dressed in old grey clothes and had a dirty face. Most surprisingly, she had a pair of cat ears.

Cat People!

Qin Jun’s brows furrowed. What was a Cat Person doing here?

And she was asking Qin Jun for help.

Could she be a member of Wang Xue’s clan?

The thought of Wang Xue, and the image of a girl with silver hair as snow and a pure smile, made Qin Jun’s expression turn sour. Before attending the Heavenly Convention, Wang Xue seemed to have been sent by her father Wang Yan to a place for cultivation.

Could it be...

Without further thought, Qin Jun strode directly towards the Cat People girl. Beside her stood a young girl in green, holding a whip, scolding the servants behind her.

"You useless lot, I told you, I want to play outside for a few months, don’t follow me!"

The green-dressed young lady stood with her hands on her hips, her pretty little face full of petulant anger, and a red rope tied around her waist linked to the Cat People girl’s right foot.

"Miss, please don’t make it difficult for us..." a man said with a wry smile, while the others nodded, all complaining that they had been entrusted by the master.

"I don’t care! Anyone who dares to stop me should expect no mercy from me!" the girl in green shouted, raising her whip, drawing comments from many cultivators around.

Most people looked at the girl in green with fear in their eyes.

Seeing Qin Jun approaching the girl in green, Gui Hai felt uneasy, but he did not dare intervene.

Soon, Qin Jun stood behind the girl in green and pointed at the Cat People girl, asking, "Where did she come from?"

As he spoke, the girl in green instinctively turned around, her eyes meeting Qin Jun’s deep purple ones, and she froze.

The Cat People girl quickly clung to Qin Jun’s legs, visibly agitated.

"Your Majesty, please save me, save the Junior Clan Chief," the Cat People girl pleaded through tears.

Junior Clan Chief?

Qin Jun’s eyes narrowed, and a killing intent instantly erupted from him.

Wang Xue’s position in the Cat People Clan was precisely that of Junior Clan Chief.

At the thought of the silver-haired, innocently smiling girl in danger, Qin Jun couldn’t contain his murderous intent.

"Hey! What do you think you’re doing..."

The girl in green was frightened by Qin Jun’s aura of murder and quickly backed away, her servants shielding her.

Qin Jun drew his sword and cut the red rope binding the Cat People girl. The sight left the girl in green gaping.

"What kind of sword is that... it actually cut through our clan’s Willow Life Rope!"

The girl in green muttered, her face filled with disbelief.

Gui Hai’s headache intensified as he touched his forehead. Why had Qin Jun provoked this spoiled young lady?

"Where is Wang Xue?" Qin Jun helped the Cat People girl to her feet and asked in a grave voice.

"She’s injured. I came out to find medicine for her, but then I was captured," the Cat People girl sobbed, causing Qin Jun’s heart to sink.
