Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Ji Yongsheng Awakens [Fourth Update]

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Zhong Kui landed in front of Qin Jun and asked. He was uninjured and even his breathing was steady, as if he had not experienced battle at all.

Although he possessed mid-Scattered Immortal Realm cultivation, his physical body was not as formidable as Yang Jian’s. Facing the monsters’ attacks, he too had to dodge, which greatly limited him in the encirclement. Moreover, with the constant harassment from the Tiger Emperor, he was unable to achieve a swift victory.

"I’m fine."

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, then set Wang Xue down.

He glanced around at the surrounding ruins and then said, "Let’s wait for an hour, and after her injuries have healed, we’ll leave."

An hour for complete healing?

Zhong Kui frowned, and Liu Ruolai and the Cat People girl were equally skeptical, but no one dared to contradict Qin Jun.

"I didn’t expect that secret technique to actually work, that you would really come." Wang Xue leaned against the mountain wall, smiling, though her smile was heart-wrenching.

Secret technique?

Qin Jun was full of confusion, only to hear Wang Xue laugh and say, "On the first day I was trapped, I used a Divine Invocation Technique I had just inherited. I prayed that you would come to my side, and I didn’t expect you to really come."

Divine Invocation Technique?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened. Could it be that he appeared in the Eastern Flame Domain because of Wang Xue?

It was very possible. If Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi were also in the Eastern Flame Domain, they should find him soon because of Wang Xue’s Divine Invocation Technique. Was it because of this that he drifted in the temporal turbulence for three days and eventually arrived in the Eastern Flame Domain?

If that was truly the case, Qin Jun felt relieved instead.

He did not want to see Wang Xue die.

Seeing that he did not speak, Wang Xue thought he was angry, so her expression darkened as she said, "Sorry, it was reckless of me, putting you in danger as well."

The Eastern Flame Domain was not the Southern Domain, and they were far apart. Qin Jun, accompanied only by Zhong Kui, was certainly constrained in his actions and had even offended the Night Emperor.

In her helplessness, Wang Xue initially did not believe in the Divine Invocation Technique. She had used it subconsciously out of fear and panic, never expecting it to come true.

"Fool, why apologize? If I, the Emperor, cannot protect my own woman, how can I conquer the world?" Qin Jun grinned, settling Wang Xue’s uneasy heart and making a radiant smile bloom on her face.

"Tch!"

Liu Ruolai crossed her arms in front of her chest and scoffed disdainfully, ’Conquer the world?’

What grandiose words!

Qin Jun couldn’t be bothered with her.

Time passed quietly. For the following period, no beasts dared to attack them.

An hour passed quickly.

Wang Xue stood up, her face full of surprise as she looked at her hands, then hugged Qin Jun and laugh-cried, "I’m really healed!"

The rest widened their eyes. What kind of medicine had Qin Jun given Wang Xue?

To think that Wang Xue could recover from serious injuries in just an hour.

"Where are the ancient ruins of your Cat People Clan? I’ll teleport you back first."

Qin Jun laughed as he patted Wang Xue’s back, not intending to head straight back to the Southern Domain.

He had to go and bring Li back!

"Okay!" Wang Xue did not dally.

The group once again rode the clouds and flew off.

Qin Jun said to Liu Ruolai, "Are you sure you want to keep following me? It might lead to your death."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruolai’s face immediately turned bitter.

But the idea of returning to South Kun City alone was more unbearable to her than death.

The direction Qin Jun and the others were flying was deep into the endless domains, making her even more distant from South Kun City.

"I..." Liu Ruolai stumbled over her words, unable to articulate a complete sentence.

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled; he would certainly need to head to a Human Clan city later, and then teleport to the seaside of the Eastern Flame Domain. By that time, there would be plenty of opportunities to send Liu Ruolai away.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to educate the girl a bit, letting her know not to be too rebellious.

If it weren’t for the fact that Liu Ruolai originally intended to help the Cat People girl rescue Wang Xue, he wouldn’t have bothered with such trouble.

"Stop teasing the young lady," Wang Xue said, rolling her eyes.

Having gone through this ordeal, she had completely warmed up to Qin Jun and no longer acted coyly or avoided getting too close as before.

Qin Jun, with Wang Xue in his arms, burst out laughing, which annoyed Liu Ruolai to the point of grinding her teeth.

For some reason, she just couldn’t stand to see Qin Jun laugh.

"Youth is truly wonderful," Zhong Kui remarked wistfully.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes. You’re not an old bachelor, are you?

It was entirely possible, the man might have been too busy catching ghosts to think about getting married.

Silence reigned the rest of the way.

The sun gradually set.

Qin Jun and the others finally arrived at the ancient relic of the Cat People Clan. It was a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. After landing, Qin Jun quickly spotted the entrance to the relic, a cave leading underground, ten meters wide and akin to a gaping maw.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Qin Jun’s heartbeat suddenly began to quicken, and within a few breaths, the sound of his heart was pounding in his ears like a war drum.

What’s happening?

Qin Jun’s brow furrowed, and he followed Wang Xue in silence.

At that moment, his blood also began to warm up.

"War God’s Blade... the soul shall never disperse..."

Ji Yongsheng’s intermittent voice echoed in Qin Jun’s mind, startling him, and he quickly asked inwardly, "Have you woken up?"

The last time Ji Yongsheng’s remnant soul spoke was during the Heavenly Convention; perhaps the Starry Prison and the Holy Court were involved, which is why Ji Yongsheng’s remnant soul was stirred.

What about this time?

Could there be something in the Cat People Clan’s ancient relic that attracted Ji Yongsheng?

Qin Jun’s mind was full of questions, feeling grateful yet in awe of Ji Yongsheng.

The bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God catalyzed his complete metamorphosis, and now he relied on his own strength to fight above his level, but he also feared that Ji Yongsheng harbored some hidden agenda.

"Inside, there is something that must be controlled by you..."

Ji Yongsheng’s remnant soul spoke again, much more clearly this time, no longer intermittent as before, with a calm tone that reminded Qin Jun once more of his towering grandeur, reminiscent of Pangu, who split the heavens and the earth.

"What is it?" Qin Jun asked eagerly.

How had this fellow become conscious again?

Qin Jun felt frustrated inside; if Ji Yongsheng became fully conscious, it would make things awkward for him to be intimate with his women.

"You’ll know once you go inside," Ji Yongsheng’s voice was as calm as water.

Qin Jun asked no further and the group continued down the cave.

"It turns out the history of the Cat People Clan is even more ancient than our records suggest. It’s said that long ago, there existed a Holy Court in the world, and the Cat People Clan were extraordinary warriors under the God of War, but after the fall of the Holy Court, the Cat People Clan also started to decline," Wang Xue explained as she led the way.

"It’s said that whenever someone from the Cat People Clan breaks through to the Taiyi Realm, they mysteriously disappear, which has been why the Cat People Clan has struggled to rise again."

These words caused Qin Jun to raise an eyebrow.

Could there be some power targeting the Cat People Clan?

Liu Ruolai was amazed to hear this, as she had never even encountered the Cat People Clan, let alone something like the Taiyi Realm.

"The Holy Court? Is it similar to the existence of the God Temple?" Liu Ruolai asked excitedly.

Unlike the less developed Southern Domain, most people in the Eastern Flame Domain were aware of the God Temple’s existence.

"Not sure," Wang Xue shook her head and smiled. "The records in the relic are too ancient, some have become blurred beyond clarity."
