Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Might of the World-ending Demon Emperor

Just as the Night Emperor was going mad and getting ready to take action,

Qin Jun held the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp in his hand and pondered, "Is it so easy to recognize a master? Why can’t the Cat People Clan or the Night Emperor do it?"

If just anyone could directly become its master, he feared the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp would have been long gone. He couldn’t believe that in the countless years, no one or no beast had discovered this place.

"Because the Annihilation Demon Emperor is the ancestor of the Cat People Clan."

Ji Yongsheng, with his startling words, made Qin Jun’s eyes widen in shock.

Were the Cat People Clan once so awesome?

"Only a Cat Person with the purest bloodline can make the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp recognize a master," Ji Yongsheng’s tone was so calm, it made you want to smack him with a plank.

Qin Jun grew even more puzzled. Could it be that I am a Cat Person with a pure bloodline?

What bullshit!

I don’t even have a tail.

"Besides, there’s another person who can make the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp recognize a master."

"Who?"

"Me."

"..."

Qin Jun was speechless; this bragging was suffocating.

First, he talked up the Annihilation Demon Emperor, leading Qin Jun to think that the emperor was the absolute ruler of that era. But now, recalling it, the Annihilation Demon Emperor was probably Ji Yongsheng’s buddy or subordinate, at least someone whose status was similar to his.

No wonder Qin Jun could make the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp recognize him as its master. It turned out to be because of the Extreme Flame Demon God’s bloodline within him.

All became clear to him. Qin Jun directly placed the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp into the mythology space and then turned to leave. As for the mysterious diagrams and text on the rock wall, those were probably the legacy of the Cat People Clan, something he had no interest in since he was not one of them.

Returning to the portal, Wang Xue and the others were already prepared.

"We can go back to the Southern Domain now," said Wang Xue, trying hard to contain her excitement. These past days had been harrowing for her. To be trapped alone in a place so far from home, with powerful demon kings lurking outside, had utterly exhausted her.

Liu Ruolai opened her mouth, wondering if she was really going to follow Qin Jun and the others to the Southern Domain?

If she didn’t go, staying here alone would mean certain death.

And the idea of traveling to the unfamiliar Southern Domain also scared her; it was the last place she wanted to go.

While she was conflicted, Qin Jun suddenly said with a smile, "I don’t intend to return just yet."

At those words, Wang Xue frowned, while a smile crept over Liu Ruolai’s face.

"I need to find Li. Wait a few more days, and you all go back with Zhong Kui," Qin Jun said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

Zhu Bajie should be arriving soon, and if not, Qin Jun would disown him.

Sending Zhong Kui back would at least make the Great Qin Heavenly Court safer.

In the Southern Domain, only Old Man Yi remained in the Scattered Immortal Realm. If the God Temple made a move suddenly, it could very well end up like the former Demonic Dao Imperial Dynasty, with a tragic outcome.

Qin Jun could have returned directly through the portal, but it wasn’t guaranteed he could be transported back from the other side’s ancient site. According to what Wang Xue had said, she didn’t know why she had been transported there either.

"Your Majesty, wouldn’t it be more proper for me to stay by your side?" Zhong Kui said with a frown.

He cared more about protecting Qin Jun than about the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

"Rest assured, it won’t be long before someone else comes to pledge allegiance to me. But compared to him, I trust you more. I need you to protect my empire," Qin Jun said with a reassuring smile and a wave of his hand.

Someone else?

Zhong Kui and Wang Xue’s eyes widened, particularly Wang Xue, who was immensely shocked.

Why did it feel like wherever Qin Jun went, there were always people ready to pledge their loyalty to him?

This ability to win over strong allies was too heaven-defying, wasn’t it?

Liu Ruolai looked at Qin Jun in confusion. This guy’s background was truly mysterious.

Could it be the legendary Holy Emperor of Qin?

Impossible!

The Heavenly Convention just ended; the Holy Emperor of Qin couldn’t possibly fly over from the Southern Domain.

The time disparity is enough to rule out that possibility!

Wang Xue’s small mouth opened slightly as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself, eventually sighing.

She could not let the emotions between children hinder Qin Jun’s steps; all she could do was no longer be a burden to him.

"I must practice cultivation diligently!"

Determination burned in Wang Xue’s eyes, especially when she thought about the inheritance she had received, which filled her with even more confidence.

Just like that, the group temporarily settled down inside the palace ruins.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.

Zhong Kui, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Someone powerful has appeared outside!"

At these words, everyone else opened their eyes, and Qin Jun quickly asked, "How many?"

"Just one demon, a pig demon." Zhong Kui said with a strange expression, for it was his first time encountering a pig demon of such a high cultivation realm.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun was overjoyed and immediately got up and flew out.

Zhong Kui and the others hurriedly followed closely behind.

After flying out of the crevice, Qin Jun immediately saw the fat figure ahead, clad in an eclectic kasaya, holding a Nine-Toothed Rake in hand, and walking sleazily on the edge of the forest.

Upon closing the distance, he saw the big belly resembling that of a ten-month pregnancy and the pig’s head, which looked rather comical, especially with the silly smile hanging on the face, amusing to onlookers.

Qin Jun knew all too well that Zhu Bajie was not as simple and foolish as he appeared on the surface; the fellow harbored many cunning thoughts.

"Damn you, Wuneng, after sleeping till today, why don’t you just sleep to death!"

Qin Jun swore bluntly, startling Zhu Bajie into turning around, scaring Liu Ruolai so much that she quickly hid behind Qin Jun, while Wang Xue and the Cat People girl couldn’t help but frown.

Such an ugly monster.

Zhu Bajie hurriedly ran towards Qin Jun, scratching his head and laughing, "I really didn’t want to, old pig here; it’s my nature, my nature."

"Nature, huh, were you like this when you went on your journey to obtain scriptures?" Qin Jun asked, not in the best of moods, unclear whether Zhu Bajie still retained the memories from that journey.

"Times have changed, heh heh." Zhu Bajie said with a foolish grin as he arrived in front of Qin Jun, but his gaze couldn’t help wandering over to Liu Ruolai and Wang Xue, drooling at the sight of beautiful women.

Qin Jun immediately slapped Zhu Bajie on the back of his head.

"My women, you keep your eyes off!"

Nibbling at the pain, Zhu Bajie touched his head, about to speak, when Zhong Kui let out a cold snort, unleashing his own aura, making Zhu Bajie take on a solemn expression.

It must be said, Zhu Bajie who wasn’t acting foolishly possessed a certain majesty, as he was once the Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng and now served as the Envoy of the Altar.

"Mid-stage Scattered Immortal Realm?" Zhu Bajie was secretly alarmed, not expecting Qin Jun to have such a formidable being under his command.

He felt bitter inside; back in the days under Tang Monk, he was suppressed by Sun Wukong, and now pledging allegiance to Qin Jun, he still had someone above him.

"Hmph, Jin Chanzi and Sha Wujing have already pledged their allegiance to me, you had better watch yourself; Monkey Brother will also arrive soon." Qin Jun crossed his arms before his chest and snorted coldly, while inwardly, he inquired, "How does Zhu Bajie retain the memories of his journey to obtain scriptures?"

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie trembled all over, and said in a terrified voice, "Master and Old Sha have already pledged their loyalty to you? Monkey Brother is coming too?"

The person he feared most in his life was Sun Wukong, followed by Tang Monk.

"Indeed, all Gods and Demons who reach the Scattered Immortal Realm and above retain their original memories, and then the system slightly modifies them to instill in them a sense of awe and the intention to pledge loyalty to their host," the system answered, enlightening Qin Jun.

But it didn’t matter as long as they obeyed.

Zhu Bajie’s loyalty score was ninety-eight points; Qin Jun wasn’t worried he would cause trouble because he was near blind loyalty.
