Chapter 226 Mysterious Places

The territory of the Black Dragon Kingdom is as large as the combined territories of the Qianyue Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom. Its existence led to the alliance between the Qianyue Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom, in order to resist the Black Dragon Kingdom.

As for the Wuqi Kingdom, it has always been low-key, but its strength is greater than that of the Canglan Kingdom or the Qianyue Kingdom, although still inferior to the Black Dragon Kingdom.

As Qin Jun pondered, he set down the jade slip in his hand.

"Summon Chen Qingzhi!"

After some consideration, Qin Jun spoke, and Jia Xun's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly bowed respectfully and then hurriedly left.

He was truly concerned about the Qianyue Kingdom. He had long witnessed the strength of the White Robe Army. If he could support the Qianyue Kingdom, he could definitely turn the tide.

Watching his slightly excited figure, Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, then continued to review the information of the Canglan Kingdom.

He had a plan in mind, which was to merge the Canglan Kingdom and the Qianyue Kingdom. By expanding the territory and developing the resources of both countries together, the kingdom could become stronger.

If the Canglan Kingdom were to be constrained as a vassal state, it would eventually become a hidden danger, just like the relationship between the kingdom and the empire. While appearing peaceful on the surface, there would be hidden undercurrents, and any incident could lead to war.

When he ascended the throne, he would definitely launch a campaign to conquer all the surrounding kingdoms, and even invade the Southern Zhuo Empire!

He wanted to be even more ambitious than the Qian Emperor!

In the afternoon of that day, Chen Qingzhi led the White Robe Army to quickly rush to the Yuguang City, preparing to support Guan Yu in resisting the army of the Black Dragon Kingdom.

On the other hand, the remaining cities of the Canglan Kingdom that had not yet been subdued were quickly conquered by the Dragon Army, and only one-seventh of the forces were dispatched, with the remaining forces staying in the capital city, awaiting Qin Jun's orders.

...

Three days later, Qin Jun summoned all his trusted subordinates to the grand hall.

"Who is willing to stay in the Canglan Kingdom?"

Qin Jun sat at the head, scanning the crowd and asking. Xiao Li was the first to pout and say, "I'm not staying anyway. I want to follow Brother Qin Jun all the time."

Daji also stared at Qin Jun, as if to say that if he wanted her to stay, they would have unfinished business.

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled. He had never intended to leave them behind. It's more fun to have beautiful women around. Facing a group of old men every day, he was afraid he would become a eunuch!

"I'll stay. I can quickly win over the people of the Canglan Kingdom!" Zhang Jiao vowed. He understood that his role in fighting alongside Qin Jun was not significant, so staying in the Canglan Kingdom was the best choice, as he could sense that the Canglan Kingdom would play a significant role in the future, being adjacent to the Southern Zhuo Empire.

Qin Jun nodded. In fact, he also intended for Zhang Jiao to stay, but he still needed to ask for the opinions of others.

"I'll stay too. The Canglan Kingdom needs a Void Realm expert." Fa Hai also spoke up. Qin Jun looked at him in surprise. With more and more powerful individuals joining, Fa Hai's presence seemed to be diminishing. He didn't expect him to step forward and take on such a heavy responsibility at this time.

Fa Hai smiled, "I don't have much to offer by following Your Highness. Why not use me at the front lines?"

In fact, he felt a bit desolate. When he first joined Qin Jun, he was the strongest. Although the later addition of Taibai Jinxing suppressed him, he was still not to be underestimated. However, as more and more powerful individuals joined, such as the Earth Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the True Immortal Realm...

The most desolate thing in the world was to be eliminated before shining.

"Since the venerable monk has this idea, I thank you in advance!" Qin Jun said with relief. He had long anticipated this situation. He believed that as his power grew, every summoned deity and demon would be able to play a role, differing only in their status.

"Alright, prepare the troops. We will set off for the Qianyue Kingdom tomorrow!" Qin Jun stood up and said with a smile.

Taibai Jinxing, Li Bai, Sha Wujing, Li Yuanba, Hong Haier, Xiong Tianquan, Daji, and Xiao Li all smiled. The next step would be their time to truly dominate the world.

...

Half an hour later, Qin Jun arrived at Zhu Yanqing's residence.

The two sat in a small pavilion and began to drink tea. The gentle breeze blew, and the poplar trees swayed, creating a unique atmosphere.

Zhu Yanqing glanced at Qin Jun, who was smiling, and asked, "So, what's the matter? If it's nothing, I doubt you would come to find me alone."

Her voice was still cold, but Qin Jun could sense a hint of resentment.

"Hehe, I'm just busy. I don't even have time to pay attention to Daji and Xiao Li." Qin Jun smiled, thick-skinned. It was true, because Daji and Xiao Li would take the initiative to accompany him, serving tea, massaging his shoulders, and making him feel great.

Zhu Yanqing rolled her eyes, clearly not believing him.

Qin Jun cleared his throat and then said seriously, "The Wuqi Kingdom is attacking our Qianyue Kingdom."

As soon as these words were spoken, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yanqing's mouth. She naturally understood Qin Jun's intention. He wasn't here to complain, but to tell her that he wanted to subdue the Wuqi Kingdom.

"Do whatever you want. You don't need to consider me. Although I am a disciple of the Yanqing Sect, I am not from the Wuqi Kingdom. I come from elsewhere," Zhu Yanqing said calmly. She had no emotional attachment to the Wuqi Kingdom. Upon hearing Qin Jun's words, she felt a bit of joy, because he had considered her feelings.

"Not from the Wuqi Kingdom?" Qin Jun was taken aback. At this moment, he realized that he didn't know much about Zhu Yanqing, or even very little.

"Where are you from?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"From a place you don't know," Zhu Yanqing said mysteriously.

Damn it!

Qin Jun widened his eyes. Was he about to encounter a cliché plot twist?

Could it be that Zhu Yanqing comes from some mysterious and transcendent force, and in order to marry her, he will have to endure a long struggle with that force in the future?

It's an advanced version of the classic storyline of a poor boy meeting a rich girl!

"What are you thinking?" Zhu Yanqing asked suspiciously, her beautiful and cold eyes staring at Qin Jun, with a hint of emotion that even Qin Jun couldn't grasp flashing in her eyes.

"I seem to have seen fate," Qin Jun forced a smile.

Fate?

Zhu Yanqing blinked, Qin Jun was different from the senior brothers they met at the Flame Sect, he was witty and humorous, sometimes showing a mischievous side, and sometimes exuding a domineering aura. She often speculated which side of Qin Jun was his true personality, and gradually became more and more infatuated with him. This feeling was beautiful and made her very addicted.

"Tell me, where are you really from!"

Qin Jun suddenly reached for Zhu Yanqing's armpit, startling her and causing her to quickly get up.

"You..."

Zhu Yanqing was so angry that her whole body trembled. Qin Jun then realized that women in this world were very conservative, and skin contact was against etiquette.

In that case, he would have to do some more teaching!

With that in mind, Qin Jun quickly got up and embraced her. As a cultivator at the Fourth Level of the Mortal Realm, how could he, compared to Zhu Yanqing at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, be resisted?

"You... let go of me..." Zhu Yanqing blushed with embarrassment. Qin Jun refused to let go, but he also didn't take any further action. Moderation was key; being too aggressive would only backfire.

The skills of an experienced driver were as pure as they come!

"Tell me, where are you from," Qin Jun whispered softly by Zhu Yanqing's ear, and the slight warmth from his breath made goosebumps rise on Zhu Yanqing's skin.
