Chapter 251 Rampancy

"Hong Haier, Wu Jing, Jin Xing, Li Bai, Yuan Ba, Xu Gui Ku!"

Qin Jun suddenly shouted, and the people whose names were called appeared around him, looking at him with confusion.

"We will go to the capital first, and the rest will follow the army!" Qin Jun said in a deep voice, unable to contain his desire to kill the demon.

Daji and Xiao Li immediately became anxious, about to request to go together, but were stopped by Qin Jun's wave of hand.

"It's best for those below the Earthly Immortal realm not to participate in the battle," Qin Jun said softly, staring straight at Daji and Xiao Li, causing the two women to fall silent.

Xiao Tianquan had already left to organize the army of monsters, so Qin Jun could only bring along these few strong individuals.

After making the decision, Qin Jun led Hong Haier and the others to fly to the capital. Xiao Zhulong still clung to him, although it was a young divine beast, it had the cultivation of an Earthly Immortal realm, and might become a force in battle.

"What's going on?"

Jia Xun asked Daji and the others with confusion, but they were also very puzzled and naturally couldn't answer.

The army continued to advance, with grass and dust flying.

...

In the capital, on the Vermilion Bird Terrace, the enthronement ceremony was taking place.

Qin Long, dressed in dragon robes, stood on the terrace, in front of a huge tripod burning nine sticks of incense, with the imperial guards on both sides. Qin Yun and other princes and courtiers stood below the terrace, and behind them were the figures of the common people and cultivators, crowding the Vermilion Bird.

"Your Majesty's untimely ascension to the heavens has left the kingdom without a ruler for a day..."

The thin voice echoed in everyone's ears, and it was not Shen Yan, who was nowhere to be seen, but an old eunuch standing beside Qin Long, who announced loudly.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth as he watched. Although he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm recently, he was far from being a match for Qin Long. He had witnessed Qin Long kill a Golden Core realm general in an instant, which had shaken the court and the people.

"Hmph, I'll make him regret it when Qin Jun returns."

A petulant snort came from Nan Yuxin, the daughter of the Grand General of the Zhen Guo, who had once been engaged to Qin Jun and was also a princess of a different surname.

Beside Nan Yuxin stood another woman, who was none other than Chang Qianqian, the daughter of the sect master of Xuanling Sect, who had been rescued by Qin Jun from the hands of the rebel general Xiahou En.

Chang Qianqian clenched her fists and said, "We can't let him ascend to the throne so easily! Qin Jun has been working hard outside. How can we let this guy take the lead?"

Standing behind her was Chang Tianyou, who frowned as he looked at Qin Long. As the sect master of Xuanling Sect, he had a cultivation level of one layer below the Earthly Immortal realm, but looking at Qin Long, he felt a sense of being unable to compete.

Not only him, but the other two major sects of the Qianyue Kingdom had also gathered. After all, it was the moment of the new emperor's ascension, and they dared not show disrespect.

At the same time, they were also hesitating whether to show goodwill to Qin Long or to resist him. The pressure Qin Jun had put on them was too great, and in their eyes, Qin Long was simply seeking death.

But they also feared that Qin Jun and Qin Long were colluding, otherwise why didn't Qin Jun come back directly?

"Now, the Crown Prince Qin Long will inherit the will of the late emperor and ascend to the throne, to support and protect the country..."

The old eunuch recited emotionally, and the smile on Qin Long's face became even more pronounced. The title of Crown Prince was self-proclaimed, and he already had a certain network of relationships in the court and the world. Coupled with his profound cultivation, anyone who hindered him was imprisoned in the celestial prison, including the chief steward of the imperial palace, Shen Yan.

"The throne is indeed so beautiful."

Qin Long looked at the sea of people below the Vermilion Bird Terrace, feeling deeply moved.

In the past, he had scoffed at power, thinking that cultivating qi was the right path, and what did the throne matter compared to immortality?

Now that he had come into contact with power, he realized why people fought so fiercely for this position.

"Now, let the new emperor be crowned!"

The old eunuch shouted loudly, and a young eunuch walked over with a golden crown, the imperial crown, with nine golden prongs and a precious bead at the top, symbolizing the noble status of the emperor.

Qin Long bent slightly, ready to be crowned.

"What makes you worthy to be the emperor!"

At that moment, an inappropriate voice rang out, and Chang Qianqian unexpectedly jumped onto the Vermilion Bird Terrace, looking at Qin Long with anger on her face.

"Bold! Guards, take her down!"

The old eunuch quickly ordered, and two imperial guards approached Chang Qianqian.

Seeing this, Chang Qianqian was not at all flustered. She shouted angrily, "When the Black Dragon Kingdom and the Wuqi Kingdom attacked our Qianyue Kingdom, who turned the tide? Was it him, this Crown Prince who wants to be emperor?"

Boom!

The crowd below the Vermilion Bird Terrace instantly exploded. Yes, why should Qin Long ascend to the throne?

With the recent uproar caused by Qin Jun, over ninety percent of the people in the Qianyue Kingdom admired Qin Jun. It's just that no one dared to speak out. Now that someone had taken the lead, their emotions burst out.

"Get down! Are you even worthy to be the emperor!"

"That position can only be taken by Prince Yue!"

"Without Prince Yue, our Qianyue Kingdom might have already perished!"

"We want Prince Yue to be the emperor!"

The crowd was stirred up, and it even awakened the hot blood in the imperial guards. Most of them were also dissatisfied with Qin Long, who had suddenly come to be the emperor. So they did not take any action, remaining silent.

Qin Long's face instantly darkened when he saw that the imperial guards did not take down Chang Qianqian. He walked towards her, and a strange black energy oozed out from his body, causing his hair to flutter, giving off an extremely eerie vibe.

Chang Qianqian was frightened and took a few steps back. At this moment, a figure landed in front of her, and it was none other than her father, Chang Tianyou.

"Step back!"

Chang Tianyou stared at Qin Long and said in a low voice, which was naturally meant for Chang Qianqian to hear.

Chang Qianqian quickly turned and left. It took a great deal of courage for her to stand up, and she knew she was not cut out for fighting.

"Master of Xuanling Sect, Chang Tianyou?"

Qin Long asked coldly, as he struck towards Chang Tianyou with his palm. Chang Tianyou raised his eyebrows and returned the strike with his own palm.

Their palms clashed in the air, and spiritual power surged out, creating a visible vacuum bond. The fierce wind stirred up the clothes of everyone below the Vermilion Bird Platform, and they all watched nervously.

One was the ambitious prince who wanted to become emperor.

The other was the Master of Xuanling Sect.

Both stood at the pinnacle of the Qianyue Kingdom, and the aura they emitted was terrifying.

Chang Tianyou suddenly frowned, and the next moment he was violently sent flying, blood gushing from his mouth as he plummeted towards the crowd below the Vermilion Bird Platform.

"Anyone who dares to oppose my ascension to the throne will meet only one fate!"

Qin Long scanned the entire venue, his brows furrowed in anger as he shouted, "Death!"

Swish— a breaking sound came from the air, and a silver light flashed from the sky.

With a loud thud, a silver spear fell in front of him, piercing the hard ground and sending debris flying. It was none other than Qin Jun's Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear.

Qin Long was shocked and instinctively looked up, only to see Qin Jun and others standing on a cloud, looking down at him with icy expressions.
