The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 505: Desolate City

Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Desolate City

"How is that possible? The City Lord was blown away with a single move?"

"Ss—Who on earth is this person? He’s too strong!"

"Did I just see things? What just happened?"

"That man really is City Lord Liu!"

The cultivators in the teleportation street were all abuzz, looking at Zhong Kui with eyes filled with fear.

Without exaggeration, the strongest one known in Wild Willow City was the City Lord. Of course, there were some super strong individuals passing through Wild Willow City, but now seeing the City Lord defeated, how could they not panic? Those who were close hurriedly moved away, fearing that they would suffer from the disaster.

The monk in charge of the teleportation portal was frightened out of his wits; he wished he hadn’t engaged in this business.

Now with the City Lord injured and Liu Ruolai leaving with Qin Jun and the other two, he definitely wouldn’t have a place in Wild Willow City; he must flee as soon as possible.

"Aaaah! How could you be so ruthless when you attack!" Liu Ruolai wailed as she flailed her arms, but unfortunately, Qin Jun held her forehead with one hand, preventing her from reaching him.

Liu Ruolai was of the delicate and exquisite type, less than one meter sixty in height, and compared to Qin Jun, who was nearly one eighty, she was much shorter.

Qin Jun chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, if Zhong Kui had been serious, your father would probably be dead by now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruolai stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Zhong Kui. Could this burly man be so powerful?

On the other side, the teleportation portal finally activated successfully, and the monk in charge uttered with a trembling voice, "It’s ready..."

He felt like crying; had he known what would happen today, he would have taken the day off and avoided this mess.

But now, he couldn’t possibly refuse Qin Jun; Zhong Kui and Qin Jun’s strength far exceeded his, and compared to the City Lord, these two were even more not to be provoked.

Qin Jun immediately stepped into the teleportation portal, with Zhong Kui and the Cat People girl following closely behind. Liu Ruolai glanced worriedly at her father, then gritted her teeth and turned around.

"I don’t want to marry someone I don’t like, I want to follow my own path!"

Liu Ruolai murmured, then stepped into the teleportation portal.

The four of them disappeared; shortly after, City Lord Liu, holding his chest, ran over and found that Qin Jun and the others were nowhere to be seen, bellowing furiously to the skies.

The onlookers whispered, no one sympathized with him; instead, they were all very curious.

What they were most curious about was who Zhong Kui really was to be so formidable!

...

After stepping out of the teleportation portal, Qin Jun and the others found the bustling noise around them suddenly fell silent.

Before Qin Jun’s eyes was another street formed by teleportation portals, only compared to Wild Willow City, there were considerably fewer cultivators on the streets of South Kun City.

Next to the teleportation portal sat an old man, gazing blankly at the ground, lost in thought.

The cultivators who passed by all hurried along, not talking to each other, giving the street an eerie atmosphere.

"This place couldn’t be a ghost town, could it..." Liu Ruolai asked cautiously.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes at her, saying irritably, "If you’re scared, you can choose to go back. A young girl like you, if caught, would end up as a man’s cherished concubine in his room."

Liu Ruolai blushed at these words, but thinking about what Qin Jun had said, she became frightened again, especially with the gloomy and solemn atmosphere of South Kun City, she felt an urge to turn back.

But then she remembered that her father would surely restrain her even more if she returned, and it would be even harder for her to leave then.

She didn’t want to be treated as a tool for a political marriage; she didn’t want to spend her life under someone else’s control.

"Lead the way!"

Qin Jun said to the Cat People girl. Upon hearing his command, the Cat People girl dashed swiftly; the Cat People were all fast, especially with her Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, making her run agilely.

Without paying any mind to Liu Ruolai, Qin Jun and Zhong Kui quickly followed.

Seeing this, Liu Ruolai gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.

The group moved fast, darting through the streets, and fortunately, the lower population of South Kun City meant their path was unobstructed.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived in front of the city gates.

"Stop, a toll of ten second-rank spirit stones is required to leave the city!"

The city guard blocked the way, his voice authoritative and brooking no refusal.

Qin Jun simply waved his sleeve, sending a gust of wind that knocked all the guards to the ground.

The group ran out quickly, with Liu Ruolai at the back, exhilarated. South Kun City was much stronger than Wild Willow City in both strength and reputation, and she never expected Qin Jun to dare make a forced exit. For her, who was in her rebellious phase, it was absolutely thrilling.

"Hey! Wait for me! Don’t run so fast!"

Liu Ruolai called out, but Qin Jun didn’t have the slightest intention of showing tenderness for the fairer sex and pretended not to hear.

He was contemplating how to deal with this girl; perhaps tame her to be a shoulder-massaging maidservant?

If Liu Ruolai heard what he was thinking, she would surely be spitting blood with indignation—expecting her to massage his shoulders?

South Kun City was actually located in the middle of the Endless Territories, and once they left the city, they entered the wild mountains.

The trees here were extremely tall, making Qin Jun feel as though he had shrunk in size.

To save time, Qin Jun condensed a cloud of mist, raised his hands, and with a display of magical power, pulled the Cat People girl and Liu Ruolai up with him.

"Wow! What kind of spell is this?"

Liu Ruolai exclaimed with excitement looking at Qin Jun with worshipful eyes.

Qin Jun didn’t bother to explain to her but instead said to the Cat People girl, "You direct us."

The Cat People girl nodded, and following the direction she pointed, Qin Jun controlled the cloud of mist to fly at high speed through the woods, moving rapidly. Luckily, the trees were widely spaced, preventing them from colliding with branches.

"How long has it been since you left Wang Xue?"

Qin Jun asked solemnly, his black hair whipped by the wind; his expression was extremely stern.

In his heart, he had cursed Wang Yan countless times; why did he send Wang Xue to such a distant place for no reason?

"Four days now." The Cat People girl answered cautiously, knowing well within the Cat People Clan that their Junior Clan Chief was to marry the Holy Emperor of Qin.

With Wang Xue potentially becoming the Holy Consort, their Cat People Clan would surely rise to heaven. But they hadn’t expected this turn of events.

Four days!

Qin Jun’s face darkened; if Wang Xue was seriously injured, could she survive for four days?

Liu Ruolai thought she could tell that the Cat People girl wanted to save had more than a simple relationship with Qin Jun.

"Hmph! Men are all the same!"

She scorned inwardly, but she didn’t harbor any other feelings; what she wanted now was to follow them and broaden her horizons.

She realized that Qin Jun and Zhong Kui must come from no ordinary backgrounds and that following them would doubtlessly prove to be fun.

"Boom boom!"

Just then, the forest ahead began to shake violently, and dust whirled through the gaps in the trees as if some enormous creature was charging towards them.

Qin Jun’s eyes narrowed; he sensed a terrifying ferocity, at least a fifth-rank beast.

A fifth-rank beast could transform its shape—equivalent to someone in the Transforming Void Realm.

Encountering a fifth-rank beast just upon leaving the city?

No wonder South Kun City was so sparsely populated; it turned out the area was far too dangerous.

"Halt, no further progress allowed!"

A roar of fury came, causing the Cat People girl and Liu Ruolai to cover their ears.
