Chapter 218: The General Situation Has Been Established

"What? Have you changed your mind?"

Qin Jun looked at Xu Guiku with a smile that was not quite a smile. If a strong immortal realm expert bowed to him, he would be very willing, but of course, he wouldn't be disappointed if not.

Xu Guiku gritted his teeth and turned around, then shouted loudly to the soldiers panting on the city gate, "The Southern Zhuo Dynasty is in turmoil, the court doesn't care about our lives. I intend to follow Prince Qin Jun. Who among you is willing to leave with me?"

The attacks from the Abyss Gate were definitely not just this one time. If Qin Jun and the others left, who could they rely on?

In any case, Xu Guiku felt a chill in his heart. As a strong immortal realm expert, he had actually come to the point of bowing to someone for help, and he felt terrible, not wanting to experience it again.

With these words, the soldiers guarding the gate showed hesitation.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow. If Xu Guiku could take away the soldiers here, it would be a good thing for him. However, he didn't have a good impression of the soldiers at the Bronze Gate. He still remembered the difficulties he encountered when he came to the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. He was still holding a grudge.

Yeah, he was that petty!

"No need to force anyone. You can follow me!"

Qin Jun waved his hand and said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted, "I'm willing to follow Prince Qin Jun!"

"I am too!"

"To hell with the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. They don't protect us, so why should we stay here?"

"I want to take my family with me!"

"Me too. From now on, I am no longer a part of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty!"

Watching the excited soldiers, Qin Jun couldn't help but think, "Did I promise you guys anything?"

He had just interrupted the soldiers' excitement when the voice of Tai Bai Jin Xing suddenly entered his ears, "Your Highness, agree to it. The gap between the soldiers of the dynasty and the soldiers of the kingdom is too large. It's a good opportunity to assimilate them with the kingdom's army. Let them bring their families, and they won't rebel. Unless they can give up their family ties."

So ruthless!

I love it!

A smile appeared on Qin Jun's face, and he didn't speak again, allowing Xu Guiku to work on the soldiers' thoughts.

In the end, about ten thousand soldiers were willing to bring their families and follow Qin Jun back to the Qianyue Kingdom. Of course, this was just the beginning. The length of the Bronze Gate reached tens of miles, and there were hundreds of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of soldiers on top of it. Most of the soldiers hadn't even heard the news of Xu Guiku bowing to Qin Jun.

"You can arrange the rest yourself. We will leave the Bronze Gate in no more than two days."

Qin Jun said to Xu Guiku, then turned and urged the technique of driving mist and clouds to fly towards the Falling Smoke City, with the others following closely behind. Chen Qingzhi arranged the soldiers of the White Robe Army at the Bronze Gate.

The beast tide receded.

But the news of the Abyss Gate attacking the Bronze Gate spread like wildfire within the dynasty, and the news even spread to the surrounding kingdoms, causing a stir and spreading its influence.

At the same time, Ao Wu Jian swept through the major forces in the capital, and the Imperial Palace Peak began to be rebuilt. It wouldn't be long before he ascended to the throne.

Two days passed in a hurry.

The two hundred thousand army had all passed through the transmission gate. On this day at noon, Qin Jun led everyone out of the Falling Smoke City, with a vast army behind him, including the families of the soldiers guarding the Bronze Gate, forming a long dragon stretching for several miles.

Qin Jun sat on a huge war chariot, as did Daji and the others. This war chariot was made of special materials, five meters high, golden in color, with six wheels each two meters in diameter, and nine sharp and sturdy iron spikes embedded in the front, capable of accommodating dozens of people standing on top.

This chariot was called the Destiny Chariot, a ground-grade magical weapon that could run by infusing it with spirit stones, produced by the Destiny Pavilion.

Of course, this chariot was not bought by Qin Jun, but was presented to him by Xu Guiku. The journey ahead was long, and Qin Jun's noble status naturally couldn't be on foot all the time.

Qin Jun and the others could have flown back directly, but with tens of thousands of people following behind, if they didn't protect them, they would probably lose most of them on the way.

"A little to the left, a little to the right, hmm, just here, comfortable..."

Qin Jun lay on a wooden couch, enjoying a massage from Xiao Li, which made Daji grit her teeth, while Zhu Yanqing sat cross-legged, pretending not to see this scene.

A comfortable life really makes people decadent!

Qin Jun sighed in his heart. Without fighting and troubles, it was really nice to roam around and enjoy nature.

He had stirred up chaos in the Southern Zhuo Dynasty, and the city lord of the Falling Smoke City naturally didn't dare to stop him. Even if he heard that he would take away a large number of soldiers, the city lord could only be angry but not speak out.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

From time to time, the sound of explosions came from the sky. Qin Jun was too lazy to look up. He didn't need to guess to know that Li Yuanba and the Red Boy were fighting again.

The two little guys with a good fighting nature were naturally inseparable from sparring.

Yesterday, Li Yuanba was crushed, but today his strength had increased significantly, so Qin Jun let them spar, as long as the Red Boy didn't go all out.

Most of the gods and demons summoned by the system needed a lot of time to improve their strength, but Li Yuanba and the Howling Celestial Hound could improve their strength as they pleased. Sometimes, Qin Jun even suspected that they were the protagonists.

The more they fought, the braver they became. That was the specialty of a protagonist.

About an hour passed, and the large army arrived at the Bronze Gate. At this moment, Xu Guiku stood on the top of the watchtower at the Bronze Gate, and ten thousand soldiers were lined up in two rows in front of the city gate, welcoming Qin Jun respectfully.

"We pay our respects to the Overlord. We are willing to follow you to the death!"

The voices of ten thousand people shouting in unison were truly awe-inspiring, especially since they all had a cultivation base of at least the Foundation Establishment realm. The shouting was even faintly audible to the people of the Falling Smoke City.

The ten thousand people were carefully selected by Xu Guiku, and this time, there were over a hundred thousand soldiers willing to follow the King of Qin. The remaining soldiers had already blended into the large army behind the chariots, protecting their families.

In addition to the White Robe Army, the King of Qin's forces had exceeded three hundred thousand, and the soldiers' cultivation levels were all above the Foundation Establishment stage, enough to sweep through any kingdom.

The average combat power of the soldiers in the kingdoms was at the Qi Refining stage, after all, Foundation Establishment cultivators could be considered strong in the kingdoms.

The King of Qin did not get up, still resting on the wooden couch, all of this he only needed to see with his own eyes.

"Your Highness, the situation is set."

Jia Xun looked at the army in front and behind, feeling deeply moved. Before participating in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, he had never expected today. When the King of Qin returned to the Qianyue Kingdom, the Qianyue Kingdom would surely soar.

However, the King of Qin had already revealed his ambition, hoping that the Qian Emperor would recognize it and step down if necessary.

The Qian Emperor had been in power for many years, and Jia Xun had long been dissatisfied. He lacked strength and yet fought desperately, almost emptying the national treasury.

So if the King of Qin wanted to be emperor, Jia Xun would definitely support him to the end.

The adventures along the way had long made him regard the King of Qin as his lord.

In the sea of people around the chariots, Yang Lan, Zong Yan, and Murong Xuan looked at Zhu Yanqing sitting on the chariot, their faces filled with complex emotions. They understood that from now on, Zhu Yanqing would be on a different path from them, and the gap in status would only grow wider.

They all came from the Flame Sect, and they had not expected that in just a few months, Zhu Yanqing had already climbed to a position that they looked up to.

"I wonder how Senior Brother Ye is doing, sigh." Yang Lan murmured with a sense of loss, and this remark caused Murong Xuan and Zong Yan's faces to change dramatically.
