Chapter 230 Names of People

"Brother Ba, what's wrong with you, Qin Jun doesn't remember having sworn brotherhood with anyone?"

The speaker was a young man in a blue shirt, handsome and elegant, with a jade-like face and a slightly mischievous smile, giving off a somewhat sinister vibe. At the moment, he was boasting to his three companions, "Qin Jun and I met in the Fallen Smoke City of the Imperial Dynasty, and we were amazed by each other, so we became sworn brothers."

Bullshit!

You keep on boasting!

Qin Jun rolled his eyes, and even Daji and the others behind him couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why did you get eliminated in the city trial?" the only woman among the four asked curiously. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was still pleasant to look at, with a delicate and charming appearance.

Facing her question, the young man in the blue shirt showed no embarrassment. Instead, he put on a look of emotion, saying with emotion, "I was ambushed by traitors and chased by dozens of Golden Core realm cultivators. In the end, I had no choice but to withdraw. My dear brother Qin Jun was so angry that he went on a rampage, causing the city trial to end prematurely."

What the heck!

Who the hell do you think you are calling your dear brother!

Qin Jun couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't mind others showing off, but he couldn't stand it when it was directed at him.

Just as he was about to rush over and beat up the young man in the blue shirt, a commotion suddenly came from the front. The cultivators and townspeople on the street all hurriedly walked in the same direction, and even the four companions in blue shirts got up and followed, as if a major event was about to happen.

"Let's go and see what's happening."

Qin Jun waved his hand and said, as a true-born Chinese person in his previous life, the love of watching a commotion was a traditional trait that ran deep in his bones.

The others had no objections and followed Qin Jun.

Soon they turned a corner and arrived at the back of the crowd. In front, there was a stone platform with a dozen or so soldiers standing on it. A notice was posted on the central wooden board, depicting a mysterious creature resembling a lion, with a reward notice next to it.

"Recently, there have been sightings of a strange beast in the kingdom, and it's very likely to be a divine beast. The court has just doubled the reward, and anyone who can provide useful information for capturing this strange beast can receive the reward from the local authorities, and even be granted an official title."

One of the officials shouted loudly, causing the onlookers to start discussing.

"It's that strange beast again? It's been causing a stir all over the country recently."

"Tsk tsk, is it really a divine beast, or just a monster?"

"Fool, when a divine beast appears, it will cause unusual phenomena. It is said that the last time a divine beast appeared near the capital, lotus flowers fell from the sky, and colorful divine light hung across the horizon."

"Is it true? It feels so mysterious."

"It's probably true, I've heard about it too."

The cultivators and townspeople whispered to each other, naturally curious about the existence of a divine beast that only existed in legends.

Qin Jun's expression changed, and he was pleased. It seemed that the rumors of a divine beast in the Black Dragon Kingdom were true. If it were false, the Black Dragon court would not have made such a big fuss.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Sha Wujing couldn't help but ask Qin Jun, as Sun Wukong was not present, and Qin Jun was the only one to rely on for advice.

Qin Jun stroked his chin and pondered, "Let's go to the Fate Pavilion in the city and see what we can find there."

The Fate Pavilion not only issued various rankings and sold various magical tools, techniques, and elixirs, but it was also a top-notch intelligence organization, known for being versatile and low-key, with very few disputes.

The others all nodded in agreement and then turned to leave.

As for the reward notice, they naturally didn't care. They had come to the Black Dragon Kingdom to capture the divine beast and kill the emperor. How could they care about such a small reward?

"It looks like this is our chance!"

The young man in the blue shirt who had previously boasted about being sworn brothers with Qin Jun smiled lightly, his face full of confidence. Setting aside the boasting, he was indeed quite a talented individual.

His three companions looked at him with doubt, making the young man in the blue shirt stand up straight with pride.

"Hey, isn't that the genius Jiang Ming from the Human Ranking?"

Someone nearby recognized the identity of the young man in the blue shirt, causing a commotion as everyone crowded around Jiang Ming.

"Please, please!"

Jiang Ming bowed to the people around him with a smile, making his three companions look at him with admiration.

Perhaps compared to the likes of Qin Jun, who was an extraordinary talent, Jiang Ming wasn't impressive, but he was definitely among the top of the younger generation in the Black Dragon Kingdom.

There were only a handful of geniuses who made it onto the Human Ranking in the Black Dragon Kingdom.

After the Penglai Association's martial arts competition, Jiang Ming always boasted about his relationship with Qin Jun, taking advantage of the fact that he and Qin Jun were far apart in status, unafraid of being exposed, and using Qin Jun's reputation to climb up, gaining him a lot of prestige and even women.

Of course, Qin Jun was also his most admired person, as well as the idol of countless young people.

Causing a commotion in the imperial city, killing the Emperor, and becoming famous throughout the world, he was truly a legend!

...

After inquiring all the way, Qin Jun and his companions finally arrived at the entrance of the Fate Pavilion, which had four floors and looked like a tower from the outside. The door was three meters high, and cultivators were coming and going, making the place quite lively.

Qin Jun and his companions walked in directly, and what they saw was a spacious hall with counters lining the edges for inquiries.

"Guests, what do you need?"

A servant walked over and asked with a smile, his gaze falling on Daji and Xiaoli, pausing for a moment before moving away. His mental composure was quite good.

"Information," Qin Jun scanned the area and said in a calm voice.

The servant's pupils constricted. Generally, those who came to buy information were not simple, and he couldn't help feeling that Qin Jun seemed somewhat familiar.

"Then please follow me to the second floor, guests."

The servant said respectfully and led the way to the stairs on the side.

Lord Qin noticed that every cultivator who entered was greeted by someone. Just based on this, it could easily outshine many commercial associations. The Command Pavilion was truly a top-tier force. Even its small branch had such grandeur.

Upon reaching the second floor, the attendants led Lord Qin and his companions to an empty counter in the corner. Lord Qin noticed that there were fewer people on the second floor, and it was relatively quiet, with most people speaking in hushed tones.

But this was normal. Who would loudly reveal their own information?

Lord Qin pulled out a chair and sat down, with Daji and the others standing behind him. There was a partition in front of the counter, with a round hole through which only the faces of the people inside could be seen. The person inside was an old man, slightly thin, and not one to smile easily.

"What information do you want?" the old man asked, subconsciously glancing at Lord Qin as he spoke. Soon, his gaze fixed on Lord Qin.

Suddenly, the old man stood up, overturning his chair with a loud noise, drawing the attention of everyone on the second floor.

"You... you... are the Overlord... Lord Qin?" the old man asked in a trembling voice, bending over the round hole in the partition, his eyes fixed on Lord Qin as if he had seen a ghost.

Lord Qin was puzzled by the man's excited demeanor.

Was it joy, or fear?

"Indeed," Lord Qin asked indifferently. He was somewhat puzzled. How did this old man recognize him?

In this world, there was no technology for audiovisual recordings, and while Lord Qin was widely known, if he were to proclaim himself as Lord Qin on the street, no one would believe him, as very few people knew what he looked like.
