The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 808 Yan Emperor

Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Yan Emperor

"Hmph, afraid of the Nether Emperor of Netherworld?"

Qin Jun snorted coldly, his tone laced with rage, silencing the dissenters, who no longer dared to speak.

He suddenly felt it necessary to rectify the mindset of King Yan Palace.

Too cowardly!

"King Yan Palace has never feared anyone, not in the past, not now, not ever!" Qin Jun declared in a deep voice, leaving the elders and officials flush with shame.

Though ashamed, they had to bow their heads to the reality.

The Netherworld was too powerful, and King Yan Palace indeed couldn’t afford to offend it. Trying to strike at it would only lead King Yan Palace to utter ruin.

In this age, the Netherworld was even more terrifying than the Hall of Heavenly Destiny.

Because they controlled the underworld, even in death, one could not escape the grasp of the Nether Emperor of Netherworld.

"I have made up my mind, whoever dares violate King Yan Palace shall be killed without mercy; no hesitation is allowed!"

Qin Jun surveyed all the elders and officials with a pause at every word, exuding an immense authority.

Standing beside Qin Jun, Bai Ze’s lips curled slightly up beneath her veil.

Having restored her cultivation to the early stages of the Daluo Immortal Realm had swelled Bai Ze’s confidence. In her view, the Daluo Immortals stood at the apex of this world. Perhaps she was not the foremost among them, but she was certainly first-rate.

Thus, she no longer regarded the Nether Emperor of Netherworld as a concern.

Furthermore, Tathāgata had already pledged allegiance to Qin Jun, and the mysterious and powerful Patriarch Bodhi stood guard.

"Right, let it be known to all, although we carry the name King Yan Palace, I have no desire to be King Yan. From now on, refer to me as Yan Emperor to the outside world," Qin Jun commanded with a wave of his hand, issuing his final order.

The reason for being known as King Yan Palace was that Qin Jun had considered the future integration of King Yan Palace within the Great Qin Heavenly Court and its status, where the use of ’king’ or ’emperor’ could be taboo.

But personally, he had no wish to be just a king; at the very least, he would be an emperor.

The elders and officials exchanged glances, still processing the command, when Qin Jun stood up and walked down with Bai Ze in tow.

"Zhenwu, come with me," Qin Jun said with a gentle smile as he passed by the Zhenwu Emperor.

He planned to restore the Zhenwu Emperor to the peak of the God and Demon realm.

The Zhenwu Emperor’s stature in Taoist mythology was extremely high, and though not widely known for tales, his followers were immensely devoted.

Perhaps he could break through to the ultimate Daluo Immortal, Qin Jun wanted to try.

King Yan Palace must have the protection of an ultimate Daluo Immortal.

As the chief military strategist of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, Bai Ze naturally couldn’t stay in King Yan Palace for long.

"Yes!"

The Zhenwu Emperor, though puzzled, asked no questions and followed Qin Jun’s steps obediently.

After the meeting concluded, the name of the Yan Emperor spread throughout King Yan Palace.

Bearing the title of emperor, it invigorated the spirits within the palace.

"Yan Emperor? Impressive, much stronger than King Yan!"

"Tsk tsk, His Majesty’s ambition is grand indeed!"

"Nonsense, King Yan Palace is formed by an assembly of powerful warriors; our ambition must be explosive!"

"Kill the Corpse Emperor Palace!"

"How exhilarating! In this day and age, the title bestowed by Destiny’s Chamber as King Yan was outright discarded by His Majesty! Such dominance!"

The entire King Yan City was discussing the name of Yan Emperor.

Under normal circumstances, a name recognized by the Dominance Leaderboard would follow one for life. The mysterious King Yan Palace had just risen to fame, and the name King Yan had already resounded across the world. Yet Qin Jun dared to change his name, which was enough to show his arrogance and his disregard for Destiny’s Chamber.

Although Destiny’s Chamber was not a top force, it was definitely the one with the strongest connections, and its wealth was unimaginable. Offending Destiny’s Chamber, which could deliberately sell information about King Yan Palace to enemies, would be an absolute nightmare.

Therefore, there were quite a few beings in the city who were also complaining.

They complained that His Majesty seemed to have become arrogant, disdainful of everything, with diverse opinions circulating. Of course, these negative voices never reached Qin Jun’s ears, and people like Li Si didn’t dare either, swiftly suppressing these voices.

...

Night fell, and a hundred miles away from King Yan City, within a secluded valley.

Young Master You sat on a huge rock while four Daluo Golden Immortals stood as guards by his side, surrounded by figures in black, gathering like a crowd of ghosts.

"Young Master, King Yan Palace suddenly fell under the control of a mysterious powerhouse. Qian Mo and Qian Ku have already been captured, and a million corpse cultivators and corpse slaves were instantly killed. The enemy is definitely among the top ten powerhouses of contemporary times. We can’t rashly attack King Yan City anymore," one of the guards spoke solemnly.

The Netherworld was vast, and the Nether Emperor had many offspring, each with their own forces. This time, Young Master You brought his own ghost soldiers, thinking they could take down King Yan Palace along with the Corpse Emperor Palace. He hadn’t expected King Yan Palace to be so powerful.

Young Master You had a handsome face clouded with gloom. He was full of ambition, wanting to achieve the same greatness as the Holy Emperor of Qin, but reality turned out to be so cruel.

If it were the past, Young Master You certainly wouldn’t dare target a palace-level force, but the Holy Emperor of Qin was too glorious, completely overshadowing their younger generation, which greatly vexed him.

Especially when he heard that the Holy Emperor of Qin was likely to contend for one of the Nine Emperors, he became restless.

Although Young Master You was famous, compared to the Holy Emperor of Qin, it was like comparing the brightness of stars to the brilliance of the moon. That’s why he teamed up with the Corpse Emperor Palace to attack King Yan Palace.

"Is he really that strong?" Young Master You asked unwillingly.

"Two Daluo supreme immortals had no chance to fight back, and it’s said even the Corpse Emperor Palace’s Destiny Sovereign was used and was directly blasted apart," the guard replied, making Young Master You’s face look even uglier.

He couldn’t compare to the Holy Emperor of Qin, was he really unable to take down the newly-rising King Yan as well?

Thinking this, his mood was extremely foul, feeling an urge to rage.

"However, with such a big incident, Xu Chongsheng definitely can’t sit still. We still have a chance," another guard, unwilling to see Young Master You distressed, consoled him.

The four of them had been assigned to guard Young Master You since his birth. Watching Young Master You grow up, they had long regarded him as their own disciple or child, always shielding Young Master You from the storm, bearing countless adversities.

Their relationship with Young Master You was actually deeper than that between the Nether Emperor and Young Master You.

The Nether Emperor was high above and, although he valued Young Master You greatly, he didn’t give much care to him.

"Really?" Young Master You asked excitedly, so eager to take down King Yan City and make a name for himself in the world that he had lost his usual composure.

"Of course. For the Corpse Emperor Palace, two Daluo supreme immortals and two Destiny Sovereigns are very important. Xu Chongsheng naturally cannot overlook this matter. Moreover, he has just suffered humiliation in the recent Western Region battle and now needs achievements to cleanse his shame. At the very least, he can’t afford to add another defeat, which would affect his struggle for a seat among the Nine Emperors," the guard nodded and laughed.

All four were dressed in black with Asian conical hats, their figures so similar it was hard to tell them apart.

Young Master You’s eyes flickered as he looked up at the dark night sky and murmured, "I can’t just rely on Xu Chongsheng. I need to ask ’him’ for help."

That person?

The four guards shuddered, and one of them asked with a trembling voice, "Young Master, are you referring to...?"

"Yes! It’s him. He still owes my mother a promise. My mother has long since passed away, but the promise remains," Young Master You inhaled deeply and said.

Upon mentioning his mother, a mix of sadness, anger, hatred, and other emotions flashed through his eyes.
