Chapter 139: The Eight Directions of Ming Chuan

In the blink of an eye, four days have passed in a hurry.

In the city of Luoyan, discussions about the assessment of the Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament were ongoing every day. Every day, there were rising stars, of course, people always mentioned Qin Jun and Li Yuanba, who had received the evaluation of nine stars.

Because the reputation of the two spread more and more loudly, it had even spread to the surrounding cities of Luoyan.

At the same time, the news reached the Kingdom of Qianyue and the Kingdom of Canglan. The Kingdom of Qianyue was in a state of excitement, everyone was singing the praises of the Crown Prince, and the civil and military officials in the court were full of praise for Qin Jun. On the other hand, the situation in the Kingdom of Canglan was somewhat tense, after all, Qin Jun had once declared that after the Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament, he would invade the Kingdom of Canglan.

When the Emperor of Canglan heard that Qin Jun had received the evaluation of nine stars, he was so angry that he almost spat blood, and Zhu Yishi was also on the verge of fainting.

In the Kingdom of Qianyue, in the city of Qingtan.

Inside the Lord's Mansion.

"Haha! Indeed, Your Highness, to have received the evaluation of nine stars, it seems that the throne has already fallen to him," the Lord Chen Zhanjian laughed heartily.

Standing in front of him was Chen Shuli, who was born with a noble and righteous spirit. After several months, Chen Shuli had become even more upright and handsome, exuding a confident and strategic aura between his eyebrows.

"Father, I heard that Your Highness has recruited many strong individuals on the way, including Li Yuanba, who also received the evaluation of nine stars. It is said that he roamed through the Kingdom of Canglan, even slaughtered the Demon King, and there are rumors about his exploits. I wonder if they are true," Chen Shuli said, with a hint of admiration on his face.

When he first met Qin Jun, he was only accompanied by Daji. When he returned to the capital, he unexpectedly had another warrior by his side, named Guan Yu, who was now second only to Nan Meng in terms of military power within the kingdom.

He never expected that after leaving the Kingdom of Qianyue, this guy would recruit more strong individuals, and there were even rumors that there were many strong individuals by Qin Jun's side.

"Your Highness is truly mysterious, making it impossible for people to guess his cards. Shuli, you must always be loyal to Your Highness in the future," Chen Zhanjian sighed. He was full of gratitude towards Qin Jun. If it weren't for Qin Jun's appearance, they might have already been replaced by the Cheng family.

"Father, rest assured, I am absolutely confident in the upcoming imperial examination. When Your Highness returns, I will present him with a top scholar!" Chen Shuli said confidently.

Looking at his son in front of him, although he lacked talent in Qi cultivation, his knowledge was extraordinary, which made him very pleased.

"By the way, Miaoyin sent a message saying that she also wants to participate in the Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament," Chen Shuli suddenly remembered something and said.

Chen Zhanjian was stunned, a look of anticipation appearing on his face.

...

Xuanling Sect.

"Haha! Father, I told you that Qin Jun is very powerful. Look at how famous he is now!" Chang Qianqian shook Chang Tianyou's shoulder excitedly, making it impossible for Chang Tianyou to concentrate on his studies.

"Silly girl, he hasn't even considered marrying you yet, why are you so happy?" Chang Tianyou said helplessly. He had complex feelings towards Qin Jun.

Qin Jun had defeated Zhuo Junjie twice, which made Xuanling Sect lose face.

But Chang Qianqian liked Qin Jun, and if Qin Jun could become her son-in-law, he would be very happy, after all, there was no other young person in the Kingdom of Qianyue who had a higher status and stronger strength than Qin Jun.

"Hmph!"

Chang Qianqian suddenly became unhappy, pouting as if she could hang an iron ring on her mouth.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Chang Tianyou couldn't help but smile wryly.

...

In the Southern Zhuo Empire, in a certain city.

Wearing a green robe and a light veil, You Fenghuang sat in the inn, swaying the teacup in her hand, with her personal maid sitting beside her.

"Miss, is that little overlord Qin Jun the one participating in the Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament?" the maid asked You Fenghuang, listening to the discussions of the diners around them.

You Fenghuang's gaze was calm as she said softly, "I'm also thinking about that."

"If it's him, that would be great. A genius with a nine-star evaluation is even stronger than the Ghost Young Master of the Holy Sect. In the future, he can help Miss break the engagement," the maid sighed.

As soon as the Ghost Young Master was mentioned, You Fenghuang's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"I hope it's him. If not, I will kill him. I won't allow any man other than my husband to see my body," You Fenghuang said softly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

If Qin Jun heard this, he would definitely protest, as he hadn't even seen any important parts that day.

"I think the chances are slim. The Kingdom of Qianyue is just a small place, how could it produce a genius with a nine-star evaluation?" the maid shrugged.

They were very far from Luoyan City, so they had very little information about Qin Jun, almost only knowing that there was such a person.

You Fenghuang did not respond, her gaze becoming sad and desolate, evoking pity.

...

Luoyan City.

Qin Jun, accompanied by Li Yuanba, Daji, and Xiao Li, walked towards the outskirts of the city.

There were still more than ten days left before the assessment of the Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament would end, and he planned to continue practicing his spear skills, so he needed to find a place far from the market.

"By the way, System, how long until the monthly summoning of gods and demons?" Qin Jun asked in his mind, looking forward to the arrival of Li Bai.

"Yes, there are three days left," the System's response made Qin Jun excited. In the next few days, he would be able to recruit two more powerful subordinates.

Just Li Bai alone had reached the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm, comparable to Li Yuanba. However, after Li Yuanba activated his true form as the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, his strength was definitely more than just the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Qin Jun, you seem very happy," Xiao Li, who was holding Qin Jun's arm, asked, tilting her head. It seemed that Daji and she had reached some kind of understanding, and the two women rarely quarreled, making Qin Jun unable to help but fantasize about the day when they would fly together.

"Yeah, I feel that another strong person will join me soon," Qin Jun said seriously.

Daji's mouth twitched, "You have so many powerful subordinates, yet you still want to seek refuge with other strong individuals!"

"Okay, okay, then Qin Jun gege will be safe." Xiao Li said naively, making Daji couldn't help but feel sorry for her. This girl was so innocent and a bit foolish!

Qin Jun burst into laughter and couldn't help but want to kiss Xiao Li, but unfortunately, Daji pinched his ear and pulled his head back.

Damn it!

He really wanted to overpower Daji!

But unfortunately, he couldn't beat Daji.

"Your Highness, someone is tracking us," Li Yuanba suddenly spoke up.

The faces of Qin Jun and the two women changed instantly. Daji and Xiao Li hadn't noticed, indicating that the other party was stronger than the two women.

"Keep moving forward, and when we're in a secluded place, take him out!" Qin Jun whispered.

Tracking them in broad daylight definitely wasn't for a friendly purpose.

The four of them quickened their pace and, five minutes later, left the city and arrived in the outskirts, where small hills were scattered and human traces were rare.

"Could it be Li Bai who's tracking us?"

Qin Jun couldn't help but think of Li Bai. He had no choice; facing a master at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm made him almost desperate for talent!

Just then, a sound of breaking air came from behind Qin Jun, and it turned out to be a black dart, heading straight for the back of his head, intending to strike a fatal blow.

Damn it!

It's not Li Bai!

The illusion in Qin Jun's mind was ruthlessly shattered, but he wasn't worried about his safety, as Li Yuanba was still by his side!
