The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 542: Payback Tenfold

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Payback Tenfold

Under the cloak of night, the waves lapped against the beach.

Qin Jun was helped into the forest by siblings Iron Qingtian and his sister. He asked in his mind, "System, what exactly is going on? Why am I not dead?"

"At the critical moment, the Wheel of Fate saved the host," the system answered.

"What about Yang Jian and the others?" Qin Jun hurriedly continued to ask, not expecting the Wheel of Fate to be so powerful that it could even save the host.

"Unable to detect."

The system’s response was like cold water poured over Qin Jun’s head.

"Where am I now?"

"Unclear, but it seems to be still in Bianhai City."

The system’s hesitant response made Qin Jun even more frantic.

No matter how he inquired, the system seemed very hesitant, as if it too hadn’t figured out the situation.

"Big brother, you should come to the seaside less often. I heard that the Green Fox King is leading the Demon Clan to attack the coastline. Many towns and villages by the sea have already suffered," Iron Qingtian reminded.

Green Fox King?

Qin Jun’s eyes sharpened. Damn, had that beast already started attacking the Eastern Flame Domain?

Could it be that Bianhai City had already been destroyed and the Green Fox King had officially started his war on the Eastern Flame Domain?

Could it be that he had been unconscious for a long time?

For a moment, Qin Jun was in total disarray.

"Don’t be afraid, the domain lord will send reinforcements," said the girl, comforting him. Through Iron Qingtian’s introduction, Qin Jun learned her name, Shouxin.

Qin Jun sneered, "If the domain lord had such intentions, he probably would have sent help long ago."

He discovered that Bianhai City’s defenses were very rudimentary, probably relying on the head of the Iron Academy, who was also the city lord of Bianhai City, Iron Qingtian himself.

The thought of this made him glance at the little boy beside him.

Both individuals were named Iron Qingtian...

"Ah? You mean the domain lord doesn’t want to save us at all?" Iron Qingtian’s little face turned pale as he spoke, his heart racing at the thought of those terrifying monsters.

Qin Jun said nothing more.

Shouxin had been quietly observing Qin Jun all along. Despite his bedraggled appearance, his features were incredibly handsome. She had never seen such a good-looking big boy before, and her heart began to throb ceaselessly.

Without further conversation on the way, the trio of Qin Jun arrived deep in the forest at a small mountain village, where buildings were constructed on both the ground and the trunks of trees, giving a sense of a primitive tribe. The clothes they wore were also not very bright. Seeing Qin Jun’s arrival, the villagers immediately gathered around.

"Who is he?"

"Things haven’t been peaceful lately; don’t venture out too often!"

"But he’s injured..."

"This young man doesn’t dress like he’s from the seaside; he must have come from the inner domain," said one.

The villagers were abuzz, their gazes towards Qin Jun full of wariness.

A middle-aged man clad in animal skin stepped forward and asked sternly, "What’s his name?"

At this moment, Qin Jun appeared extremely weak; if not for the support of Iron Qingtian and Shouxin, he probably couldn’t even stand firmly.

"He is called..." Iron Qingtian hesitated because Qin Jun had not shared his name.

Shouxin quickly thought and smiled, "He’s called Bianhai. He encountered a monster attack out at sea, and all his companions died. Only he was left, drifting ashore."

Bianhai!

Qin Jun’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

A thought suddenly streaked through his mind like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned in place.

Could it be...

"Just let the child rest; look at how thin and weak he is. He’s quite pitiful," said a woman with a soft heart.

Pfft—

I don’t need pity...

Qin Jun nearly spat blood; he only looked thin and weak. Underneath his clothes, he still had substance.

As a result, following the arrangement of the villagers, Qin Jun was given a small wooden house to stay in, looked after by Iron Qingtian and Shouxin.

"Why did you call me Bianhai?"

As soon as the other villagers left, Qin Jun couldn’t wait to ask.

Damn it, don’t joke around. You’re scaring me to death...

Shouxin, biting her fingertip, said timidly, "You were the one I found by the sea, right? Calling you Seaside wouldn’t sound nice. Since you were asking about Bianhai City, the name Bianhai suits you really well, doesn’t it?"

Fuck...

Could I actually be Bianhai?

Qin Jun trembled all over, cautiously asking, "Hasn’t the Green Fox King attacked the Eastern Flame Domain before?"

"How could that be? The Green Fox King has only recently risen as a power in the Southernmost Sea. Ambitious, he aims to conquer the Human Clan. So, this is his first attack on the Eastern Flame Domain," Iron Qingtian shook his head, causing Qin Jun to tremble even more violently.

Iron Qingtian expressed his envy, "Ah, if only I could cultivate, that would be wonderful."

Energy refining cultivation methods were treasured in the Eastern Flame Domain. These impoverished regions had no way to get their hands on them.

He once obtained a damaged cultivation method, which could only take him up to the fifth level of the energy-refining realm. Faced with powerful monsters, he was no different from a commoner.

"I’ve really returned to ten thousand years ago..."

Qin Jun was completely stunned, linking it to what happened to Bianhai; he almost cried.

"The Wheel of Fate has the ability to reverse time and space. You appear to have returned to Bianhai City ten thousand years ago," Ji Yongsheng’s voice rang out, filled with emotion.

"How can I return?" Qin Jun quickly asked in his mind.

Ji Yongsheng replied helplessly, "Don’t worry. No matter how long you stay here, you can return to your original time point. As for when you can go back, it all depends on when the Wheel of Fate activates again."

With this statement, Qin Jun immediately felt relieved. His worry was that by the time he returned, everything would have changed beyond recognition.

But waiting for the Wheel of Fate to activate, when would that be?

For a moment, Qin Jun felt bitter in his heart.

"Bianhai, don’t be scared. We’ll protect you," Shouxin said with a comforting smile, touching Qin Jun’s head as if she were comforting a little brother, eliciting a chuckle from him.

After the siblings left, he took out a Heavenly Origin Pill to consume.

He could heal within half an hour, such was the potent effect of the Heavenly Origin Pill.

As long as nothing unexpected happened within half an hour, all would be well.

However, his luck had been terrible lately...

"If I really am Bianhai, then the legends of the future..."

Qin Jun’s scalp tingled. He used to joke about Bianhai’s plight, never imagining that Bianhai was himself. It was a twist of fate.

But the thought of the Green Fox King filled his heart with murderous rage and fury.

"Whatever you’ve done to me, I will repay tenfold!"

Qin Jun murmured, the dim light of an oil lamp barely illuminating his face in the dark wooden hut.

As history had it, Bianhai would defeat the Green Fox King, even at the cost of his own grave injuries, Qin Jun was determined to do the same.

Damn it!

I can’t swallow this grudge!

I might not win against you ten thousand years later, but can I not defeat you ten thousand years earlier?

Qin Jun thought to himself indignantly.

The night air was cool.

Half an hour passed quickly, but Qin Jun didn’t leave right away; instead, he took out the Ferocious Dragon’s Heart.

"I must kill you with my own hands!"

Qin Jun spoke coldly. Judging from this village, the Eastern Flame Domain ten thousand years ago must not have been as powerful as it was in later times; otherwise, the Green Fox King wouldn’t have been able to dominate for ten thousand years.

Moreover, the fact that there was only one statue erected for Bianhai in the city meant that he didn’t rely on the help of gods or demons.

History claimed he could defeat the Green Fox King, and with the towering rage within him, he had to win!

And it must be an overwhelming victory!
