Chapter 168: The Underworld

It's definitely not just for a heart-to-heart talk that Hei Wuchang is looking for him.

Thinking about it, Qin Jun hastened his meal and, after two minutes, got up and said, "I have something to do, you guys take your time eating."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving everyone puzzled. He didn't bring Li Yuanba with him?

With Hei Wuchang around, Qin Jun naturally didn't need Li Yuanba's protection. Moreover, Hei Wuchang was his trump card, and Li Yuanba was too naive and could easily leak information.

"Master Qin, hello."

"Your Highness, the Prince of Yue, hello!"

"It's rare to see the Prince of Yue come out. It seems like today is not an ordinary day!"

"Please, please!"

As he walked, the cultivators along the way all smiled and greeted him, and Qin Jun also put on airs, nodding and returning the greetings one by one.

Now, he was no longer the nameless little prince from the kingdom, but a super genius who had made a name for himself in the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. The cultivators naturally wanted to make connections with him. Even some of the cultivators who had been eliminated by Qin Jun and Li Yuanba were now trying to befriend him, especially after the recent announcement of the top ten geniuses. Their attitudes had instantly reversed.

They were all trying to please Qin Jun.

After a bit of socializing, Qin Jun left the Youlong Inn and headed straight for the outskirts.

He walked neither fast nor slow, as if he were just strolling, but wherever he went, he attracted the attention of the cultivators. In Fallen Smoke City, there was no one more controversial than Qin Jun, and controversy brought popularity.

Qin Jun's own strength was not bad, especially his record of single-handedly fighting the black dragon, which had impressed many cultivators. But because he had relied on Li Yuanba to sweep through the entire city, he had offended more than five figures of participants. Therefore, the criticism against him was even more than the praise.

After about half an hour, Qin Jun finally arrived at the outskirts, with a few hangers-on following him.

"Overestimating yourself."

Qin Jun's mouth curled up, revealing a mocking smile. Now, he was confident enough to sweep through the Golden Core Realm and even challenge low-level Transcendents.

After turning a small hill, the hangers-on couldn't help but make their move. There were four of them, and they descended from the sky over the hill and attacked Qin Jun with fierce momentum, intending to end his life with thunderous force.

"Hmph!"

Qin Jun snorted coldly, swiftly evading and at the same time pulling out the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear. Accompanied by a domineering dragon roar, the ancient dragon soul instantly condensed along the spear, coiling around Qin Jun.

Clad in white with a silver dragon, he exuded a handsome and noble aura!

"Qin Jun! You're dead meat!"

A rugged middle-aged man shouted angrily, and his short knife, like a crescent moon, slashed towards Qin Jun. His speed was extremely fast, but in Qin Jun's eyes, it seemed a bit slow.

Qin Jun blocked with his spear, and with a loud bang, the powerful force shook the rugged middle-aged man's hand, and the impact sent the gravel under Qin Jun's feet flying. Qin Jun snorted and exerted force, directly sending the man flying.

At the same time, three other cultivators descended from the sky, two wielding knives and the other wielding an axe, their momentum fierce, like three great mountains.

Roar—

The silver dragon roared, and Qin Jun, wielding the spear, leaped with the silver dragon, fiercely colliding with the three cultivators.

The unimaginable force struck them, and the sound of bones breaking instantly rang out. At the same time, their heads throbbed, and they couldn't help but scream in pain.

The Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear's greatest strength was not its power, but its terrifying soul-absorbing ability.

The three men were sent flying like sandbags, crashing into the hillside, all looking at Qin Jun in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.

The rugged middle-aged man with the short knife also looked at Qin Jun in horror, not expecting Qin Jun's strength to be so strong.

They were all experts at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, and even with the four of them working together, they would have had a chance against a ninth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator. How could they be killed by Qin Jun in an instant?

They couldn't accept it.

"Qin Jun! I won't let you live today. Even in the Nine Springs, my son won't rest in peace!" the rugged middle-aged man roared in anger and charged at Qin Jun again.

The enmity of killing one's own child was beyond reconciliation, and Qin Jun could understand that, but he wouldn't just surrender.

He could seek revenge, but he needed the strength to do so!

Just then, two ghostly white hands emerged from the ground, grabbing his feet, and with a misstep, the rugged middle-aged man fell to the ground.

"Tsk tsk, daring to kill His Highness, there's no place for you even in the Nine Springs."

Hei Wuchang's eerie laughter rang out, and the rugged middle-aged man was so frightened that his eyes widened. With a thud, Hei Wuchang's ghostly claws pierced his heart, pushing his heart out of his body, exposed to the sunlight, which made Qin Jun's eyelids twitch.

Such a cruel method.

Fortunately, they were on the same side.

Qin Jun sighed in his heart, and at this moment, screams came from not far away. He turned to see Bai Wuchang standing at the foot of the hill, holding a huge scythe in his hands, the blade dripping with blood, and the bodies of the three cultivators lying at his feet.

They died just like that, sigh, without even having their names spoken.

Unnamed sorrow flowed through Qin Jun's heart, but on the surface, he walked towards Bai Wuchang with a smile and asked, "What's the matter with me?"

"Of course, it's about that demonic cultivator. Didn't His Highness ask us to investigate not long ago?" Bai Wuchang said with a smile.

A terrifying demonic cultivator beyond the Transcendent Realm, Qin Jun naturally couldn't completely ignore it, so he had sent Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang to investigate.

Qin Jun's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Have you found out?"

He hadn't expected Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang to be so efficient. If he could strangle Ye Xuan in the cradle, he would not only receive a large reward but also eliminate a potential threat.

"Yes, he has already left Fallen Smoke City," Bai Wuchang said as he walked over, disappointing Qin Jun.

He couldn't leave now for the sake of Ye Xuan.

"We'll go to the underworld first, as there are strong individuals heading this way," Black Impermanence glanced in the direction of the city.

The underworld?

Qin Jun immediately became excited, about to speak, but Black and White Impermanence each grabbed one of his shoulders, and the three of them disappeared into thin air.

After about three breaths, Xu Guiku flew over, his face darkening as he looked at the four bodies below.

"Damn it! They're completely ignoring my existence, Xu Guiku!" Xu Guiku muttered under his breath. There had been a series of homicides in Luoyan City, and several times he hadn't even caught the culprit. He inexplicably felt like the culprit was provoking him.

...

When he opened his eyes again, Qin Jun found himself on a dimly lit street, with the buildings on either side in ruins and pitch black, devoid of any light. Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black, with no stars, only a crimson moon.

There's a moon in the underworld too?

Qin Jun was skeptical, but then he realized that this wasn't the Earth's Huaxia, so he couldn't use Earthly knowledge to measure it.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for the first visit to the underworld, rewarded with a divine summon!"

The system prompt suddenly sounded, startling Qin Jun. Damn, this is possible too?

How come he didn't trigger a reward when he went to the Southern Zhuo Dynasty?

It seems that the underworld is of great significance. Under normal circumstances, Qin Jun would only come here after death.
