The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 190: Desperate Situation

"No, are you showing contempt for the dignity of the Nanzhuo Dynasty?"

Zhang Leiting, the master of the Divine Sword Hall, spoke sternly, almost making Qin Jun curse out loud.

Damn!

I ask one question, and you slap me with a crime?

I haven’t seen the dignity of the Nanzhuo Dynasty, just shamelessness!

Qin Jun inwardly ridiculed but outwardly said with a chuckled, "Your dignity almost scared the piss out of me. Fine, I’ll go in with you. After all, if I don’t come out, everyone will know why."

Such blunt words left the many powerful figures in silence.

Although some felt sympathy for Qin Jun, there was nothing they could do, for compassion for an enemy is cruelty to oneself.

At present, Qin Jun could wreak havoc in the imperial capital, and once he broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm, he might have even more powerful subordinates and possibly overturn the Nanzhuo Dynasty.

And to them, Qin Jun’s verbal attacks seemed laughable. Perhaps his death would indeed spread unfavorable news about the dynasty, but so what?

The merciless sands of time would erase all rumors and slanders, history was always written by the victors.

And so, Qin Jun and the rest could only follow the crowd toward Luoqian Hall. Watching Qin Jun among the people, the powerful figures from the Six Major Sects, apart from Cangyun Sect, all sported mocking smiles.

Still too young!

As everyone entered Luoqian Hall, the doors closed with a thunderous bang, giving Qin Jun the eerie feeling of a horror movie atmosphere descending.

Li Yuanba gripped his Golden Peng Divine Hammer and said, "Your Highness, don’t worry. With me here, I will ensure your safety."

Oh, silly boy, your confidence really damn moves me.

Qin Jun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, while Qin Yun trembled with nervousness. In contrast, You Fenghuang and Zhu Yanqing, the two women, appeared very calm.

Sitting on the high platform, the Luo Emperor in his dragon robe, glanced around at everyone before saying, "First, I congratulate you for advancing to the second round."

The great hall fell into absolute silence, all the advancers restraining their excitement as they looked toward the Luo Emperor. Meeting the sage monarch of the Nanzhuo Dynasty was something they could boast about for a lifetime. After all, they were not Qin Jun, whose soul came from a democratic Earth in another era. In this world, class consciousness ran deep to the core, and not just in the eyes of the kingdom’s cultivators, but even for the dynasty’s cultivators, the Luo Emperor was like a god.

So now it’s my turn, huh?

Qin Jun grumbled to himself, his right hand resting on his back gripping the Soul-Calling Bell, ready to summon Black and White Impermanence at any moment.

Black and White Impermanence, after all, were both formidable fighters at the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm. Together with the mysterious potential of Li Yuanba, perhaps they could battle the Luo Emperor of the Immortal Realm.

"Whoosh—"

Just then, the sound of something cutting through the air reached them. Qin Jun felt a chill on his back and instinctively turned around, catching a glimpse of a shadow attacking him like a specter, with only its bloodshot eyes visible.

This man was none other than Evil Dragon from the Black Night Pavilion, who had clearly reached some sort of agreement with the Luo Emperor to assassinate Qin Jun.

Qin Jun didn’t recognize Evil Dragon, but with the Transforming Void Realm cultivation speed, the intent was to strike lethally in one blow.

Boom!

Li Yuanba slammed his hammer down in front of Qin Jun, the terrifying shockwave sending the surrounding cultivators flying. The ground shattered and cracks spread toward Evil Dragon.

Seeing Li Yuanba’s intervention, a hint of surprise flashed in Evil Dragon’s eyes as his body vanished like smoke, leaving no trace.

"Protect the Emperor!"

General Zhou Liang quickly shouted, infuriating Qin Jun who cursed loudly, "Fuck damn, protect what? Does your sage monarch with Immortal Realm cultivation need your protection? Can you act any worse?"

Immortal Realm?

The martial artists were full of confusion, having never heard of the "Immortal Realm" before, but it was clear that it was an extremely strong state of being.

What shocked them the most was the implication in Qin Jun’s words, which clearly suggested that the assassin had been sent by the Luo Emperor?

"Audacious! How dare you insult His Majesty! Guards! Execute this traitor!"

Zhou Liang shouted sternly, all sympathy in his heart vanishing in the face of the imperial cause. Today, Qin Jun had to die!

Warriors from the Divine Sword Hall instantly appeared around Qin Jun and the others, encircling them and leaving no room for escape.

The other martial artists were stunned, never expecting the dynasty to dare to launch an assault on one of their own. In that moment, the majesty of the dynasty crumbled in their hearts, turning into something ugly and despised.

After all, it was only thanks to Li Yuanba that they had advanced, and they all felt grateful to Qin Jun. Moreover, most of them, like Qin Jun, hailed from kingdoms, and so they shared a sympathetic sorrow.

The talents of the kingdoms were far less than those of the dynasty. Barring any accident, those advancing to the second round would largely be the native geniuses of the dynasty. However, Li Yuanba’s brutal suppression eliminated those dynastic talents who should have advanced, inadvertently benefiting these kingdom geniuses.

Of course, even with the indignation in their hearts, all they could do was watch!

At this moment, if anyone were to step forward to help Qin Jun, it might bring disaster upon their own kingdoms.

"Impressive, this is the strength of the dynasty, shameless, they start fighting as soon as they enter!"

Qin Jun clapped his hands and laughed unrestrainedly, walking up to Zhu Yanqing and looking directly at the expressionless Luo Emperor.

The mockery in his words was unmistakable to anyone.

"Your Majesty, do you really intend to do this?"

Ao Wujian narrowed his eyes and asked the Luo Emperor, with Qin Jun and others surprised, not expecting him to actually consider protecting them.

The powerhouse members of the Six Major Sects were puzzled, unable to understand why Ao Wujian, who generally stayed out of worldly affairs, would protect Qin Jun?

"He’s already committed enough offenses. Do you really want to protect him?" the Luo Emperor asked as he stared at Ao Wujian, speaking in a deep tone while slowly rising to his feet. A pressure that seemed to dominate the world poured out, forcing all the martial artists there to involuntarily kneel.

Qin Jun and others almost fell for it too, but thankfully Li Yuanba was there in time to stand in front and mitigate the Luo Emperor’s oppressive force.

Such a terrifying aura!

Could this be the Dragon Qi?

Qin Jun was shocked. In the instant he faced the Luo Emperor’s pressure, he even felt a terror as if the sky were falling, with only reverence and despair in his heart, unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The presence of an Emperor Di was stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level, perhaps due to the Dragon Qi.

"Heh, since His Majesty insists, there’s nothing I can do. As you wish, but let me say one thing—don’t regret it," Ao Wujian said with a smiling face, retreating back. The tense atmosphere that had been building up between him and the Luo Emperor instantly dissipated.

This left the others even more baffled. What exactly did Ao Wujian mean?

Why did he advise His Majesty to not have regrets?

Although Qin Jun’s two subordinates performed strongly, they still didn’t believe Qin Jun and his people could defeat all the powerhouses within the imperial capital.

"You are quite the diplomat!"

Qin Jun said to Ao Wujian, looking at him with interest. To this, Ao Wujian simply smiled and nodded in return, as if the two were in another world, engaging in casual conversation.

"Humph!"

The Luo Emperor let out a displeased snort, and the Divine Sword Hall warriors surrounding Qin Jun and his group launched their attacks.

Waves of magic power surged toward Qin Jun and the others like a deluge, with such an overwhelming force that it made the martial artists tremble with fear.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuanba let out a furious roar, and golden light exploded, filling the entire palace and causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes, including the Luo Emperor.
