Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Giant Bird Battles Qilin
That day, Qin Jun flew back to the Southern Domain’s celestial world with his civil and military high-ranking officials in tow, including a Daluo Golden Immortal who navigated the clouds, so the journey did not take very long.
Her Highness Shiji was once again left to guard Dilin Island.
Above the clouds, Qin Jun held Liu Ruolai closely by her waist as Daji, You Fenghuang, and Wang Xue stood behind him, while Zhu Yanqing continued her dedicated cultivation at Saint Sect Peak; among all the women, her pursuit of the Immortal Dao was the most resolute.
After consuming the Zijin Life-Extending Elixir, Liu Ruolai was still very weak, and her spiritual force was practically depleted, making her walk seem almost weightless.
"I wonder what kind of elixir Your Majesty has given Miss Liu to make her vital force seem fully restored, although she still needs rest to recover her physical strength." Bai Ze asked curiously, no longer daring to make any calculations about Qin Jun.
The others were also curious as they looked toward Qin Jun.
Elixirs that could extend life were incredibly precious, and in this world, alchemists were already rare, not to mention the scarcity of materials needed for life-extending elixirs, so their curiosity was natural.
Liu Ruolai also looked up at Qin Jun, to which he replied indifferently, "Secret."
Everyone was speechless but did not dare to inquire further.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to contact the Fate Pavilion?" You Fenghuang asked softly.
As a saintly concubine, she was also busy dealing with the affairs of the Great Qin Celestial Court, but she could no longer meddle in politics as before, so Qin Jun arranged for her to maintain contact with the Fate Pavilion. The information and resources controlled by the Fate Pavilion were vast, and the position was extraordinary, but You Fenghuang was his woman, whom he trusted.
"No need, I’ve been through the south and the north, and I have many treasures with me," Qin Jun shook his head; he had the mythology system, why would he need the Fate Pavilion?
You Fenghuang shrugged and smiled, it seemed like no matter what, this guy was hard to stump.
The rest of the journey was uneventful.
By nightfall, they had returned to Saint Emperor Peak.
"Your Majesty, let me take care of Miss Liu," Daji said to Qin Jun with a smile, knowing that he had many pressing tasks to deal with but was also worried about Liu Ruolai.
Qin Jun nodded, then took his hand away from Liu Ruolai’s waist and said softly with a laugh, "If you need anything, you can always send someone to find me."
Liu Ruolai nodded gently, looking at the retreating figure of Qin Jun, she felt an inexplicable sorrow.
Why had she become so despondent and fragile all of a sudden?
After the time it took an incense stick to burn.
Qin Jun, along with Bai Ze and Liu Bowen, entered the study behind the Junzheng Hall, and looking at the accumulated documents on the table, he shook his head and laughed, "It looks like I won’t be sleeping tonight."
"It is commendable for Your Majesty to not forget about the affairs of his realm at such times," Liu Bowen appropriately flattered.
Bai Ze remained silent, simply taking out nine jade slips from his storage ring and saying, "These are the contracts signed with the Nine Domains, please review them, Your Majesty."
Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, then he walked over and sat down in the chair.
Liu Bowen, the chief civil servant, often helped Qin Jun deal with these matters, and Bai Ze was in charge of the Ten Domains, so they both had to accompany Qin Jun through the night.
...
As the moon set and the sun rose.
Qin Jun rubbed his eyes as Liu Bowen and Bai Ze continued to concentrate on reviewing the documents.
"It seems we should get Zhuge Liang involved as well," Qin Jun thought. Since Zhuge Liang hadn’t been part of the team long enough and hadn’t made any extraordinary contributions yet, Qin Jun didn’t feel right about promoting him directly.
It was the same for Jiang Ziya, while Shen Gongbao was occupied with the front-line battles.
As the influence of the Great Qin Celestial Court grew larger, the affairs he needed to handle became increasingly complicated, which never failed to give him a headache.
"I am Luo Shixin, here to swear fealty to the Holy Emperor of Qin!"
Just then, a loud call rang out from outside the hall, bringing a look of surprise to Qin Jun’s face.
The big simpleton had finally arrived!
"Hmph! Who dares to disturb the tranquility of the Holy City!" Li Yuanba’s disgruntled voice rang out.
"Yo, not bad in strength, fight me!" Sun Wukong’s challenging voice followed, this fellow, after swearing allegiance to Qin Jun, became completely brazen, challenging whoever he wanted.
Qin Jun got up, resigned. These three hot-tempered fellows clashing together, it’s inevitable they’ll tear apart the Southern Domain’s heavens and world.
Bai Ze put down the jade slip in her hand and began to calculate Luo Shixin’s fate; soon, her face changed, and she cried out in fear in her heart, "How is it possible... It’s actually him..."
In the first Great Tribulation of the past heavens and earth, the ancestor of the Qilin played a very important role. Though he died, his legend lives on eternally, and even to Bai Ze, from the era of the Great Tribulation of Witches and Demons, the ancestor of the Qilin was a legend from ancient times.
"Even he has come to pledge allegiance to His Majesty..." Bai Ze’s face was full of complex emotions.
The addition of Luo Shixin completely overturned Qin Jun’s status in Bai Ze’s heart.
Perhaps one day, Qin Jun could surpass the height of the Demon Emperor!
On the other side.
Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba stood side by side in the void in front of the Holy City, glaring at each other furiously.
"You stinking monkey, I had my eye on him first!" Li Yuanba cursed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately took out his golden cudgel from his ear and retorted, "It seems I didn’t beat you enough inside the belly of the Black Sea King Whale!"
Li Yuanba became instantly furious with embarrassment when Sun Wukong mentioned this. He had been irrational at the time, fighting purely on instinct.
He couldn’t accept losing to Sun Wukong.
Especially since Sun Wukong was a minor realm below him.
Just as the two were about to come to blows, Luo Shixin across from them couldn’t stand it anymore and cursed in anger, "Do you think I don’t exist?"
Luo Shixin was tall and muscular, wearing heavy copper armor, holding a black spear a zhang in length, his wild black hair cascading behind him like a majestic lion, especially when colored with anger, giving off an overwhelming sense of crushing might.
At the mid-stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, his roar made even Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba’s hearts skip a beat.
Even Li Yuanba, also at the mid-stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, couldn’t help but feel as if he had met his nemesis.
"Are you really Luo Shixin?" Li Yuanba asked, full of disbelief.
Luo Shixin, this imposing?
Wasn’t he as foolish as Li Yuanba when he was mortal?
Although Luo Shixin had not regained the memory of the Qilin ancestor, he still retained his mortal memories, including those of Li Yuanba. He immediately laughed and scolded, "Yo, isn’t this Li Si the fool?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba’s rage burned fiercely!
He may have been mighty in his mortal life, but he was famously dumb, even dumber than Luo Shixin. After regaining the memories of his Giant Bird origin, his mortal memories became Li Yuanba’s shame. Provoked like this, he couldn’t hold back.
Ignoring Luo Shixin’s words of allegiance, he immediately raised his hammer and charged at Luo Shixin.
Sun Wukong, left to the side, although displeased, did not dare to act rashly. He couldn’t bring himself to engage in two against one.
Qin Jun, who had just flown out, had yet to speak when Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin collided.
The Giant Bird and the ancestor of the Qilin clashing head-on was definitely like sparks hitting the earth.
Clang—
The collision of the Golden Peng God Hammer and the Qilin Overlord Spear rang like a giant bell, causing tinnitus in almost everyone in the Holy City.
Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin stared each other down in anger, the number one hero and the mightiest from the Sui and Tang dynasties sparkling with friction upon their first encounter in this world of immortal cultivation.
The space around them distorted like waves, and even Qin Jun, a kilometer away, was forcefully stopped by the fierce winds.
