Chapter 277 Five Hegemons

At night, with the moon shining and stars sparsely scattered in the sky.

In the courtyard, Qin Jun sat under a tree, practicing breathing exercises, while Li Cunxiao and Lei Zhenzi stood by his side. It was so quiet that even the chirping of insects could be heard.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared on the courtyard wall, unnoticed even by Lei Zhenzi.

"Whoosh—"

A whistle startled Qin Jun and his companions, and they saw a figure standing on the courtyard wall, silhouetted against the moonlight.

Lei Zhenzi and Li Cunxiao immediately jumped up, and Lei Zhenzi asked in a deep voice, "Who goes there?"

His heart was in turmoil because when he tried to sense the person's cultivation level, he couldn't see through it.

"I am Yuan Hong, here to pay my respects to Emperor Qin," the figure introduced himself as he leaped down from the courtyard wall and walked towards Qin Jun and the others.

Qin Jun was excited to see Yuan Hong, and with a meaningful glance, he reassured Yuan Hong, who then nodded in understanding.

"Really?"

Lei Zhenzi looked between Qin Jun and Yuan Hong in confusion. Qin Jun then walked up to Yuan Hong and gave him a bear hug, dispelling Lei Zhenzi's doubts. Qin Jun's ability to recruit powerful individuals was well-known.

Although Li Cunxiao remained silent, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Hong with a hint of determination.

After this night, Qin Jun gained another follower, a monkey demon, in his ranks. In the lawless land, having a demon king as a follower was not uncommon, and there were no Taoist priests to slay demons and monsters.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard, Qin Jun, while practicing his spear techniques, impatiently asked, "Is Mogu Jie deceiving us? Why hasn't anyone from the Abyssal Sect come to meet him?"

Liu Bowen, Lei Zhenzi, Li Cunxiao, and Yuan Hong were sitting around a stone table, drinking. Upon hearing Qin Jun's question, Liu Bowen smiled and said, "This person has lost his nerve and only wants to survive. He shouldn't be deceiving us, and the time required for such a signal transmission is definitely not short."

Qin Jun thrust his spear into the ground, and the sharp qi pierced the ground, leaving a shallow hole. His spear technique had reached a certain level, but he still lacked a bit to break through that thin film.

According to Yuan Hong, once he broke through that thin film, he would comprehend his own spear intent, achieving the unity of man and spear, and unleashing his maximum strength with a single spear.

It seemed like just one step away, but it was causing Qin Jun a headache.

"Something's not right!"

At that moment, You Fenghuang hurriedly entered the courtyard. Without her veil, her stunning face was filled with fear.

Qin Jun asked, "What's wrong?"

"The people from the Four Divine Sects have arrived!" You Fenghuang said in a grave tone, causing Qin Jun to raise an eyebrow.

He had expected the Four Divine Sects to launch a sudden attack or send a group of cultivators to assault the mansion, but he didn't expect them to send only five people.

This indicated that these five people were very strong, and at least the Four Divine Sects believed they could defeat Li Cunxiao.

"It's the Five Tyrants of the Left Dragon Hall!" Dan Mingzi said with a serious expression.

He explained to Qin Jun, "The Four Divine Sects are divided into the Left Dragon Hall, Right Tiger Hall, North Xuan Hall, and South Zhu Hall. Among them, the Left Dragon Hall is the strongest. These five people are brothers, all of them have reached the Earthly Immortal realm, and the leader, Xia Li, is said to have surpassed the Earthly Immortal realm! They are known as the Five Tyrants, ruling the lawless land."

After saying this, he discreetly observed Qin Jun's expression and noticed that Qin Jun did not show any signs of panic, but instead wore a mocking smile.

Could it be that this demon general had not yet revealed his true strength?

Dan Mingzi looked at Li Cunxiao and couldn't help but notice a detail: whether intentional or not, Li Cunxiao was positioned slightly behind Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong.

Meanwhile, at the top of a loft, an old monk was lying on the eaves watching the show, and to Qin's surprise, it was Sang Liang, who had previously tried to deceive him.

"Tsk tsk, the Four God Sect even sent out the Five Overlords, it's simply suicidal. They didn't bother to find out the enemy's details," Sang Liang exclaimed, as if he had already known Qin's true identity.

Looking down at Qin, he couldn't help but sigh, "The top two on the People's List have gathered, the lawless land is going to be more exciting."

On the other side, the Five Overlords strolled over, and Qin also saw their figures. They were all burly in stature, all dressed in purple brocade robes. They seemed to be walking slowly, but the pressure they exuded made the cultivators on both sides of the street dare not even breathe heavily.

The Four God Sect's Five Overlords were famous in the lawless land, and anyone who had spent some time in the lawless land had heard of their reputation.

"Big Brother, let me take the lead, it's been a long time since I've had some fun," a man with a ten-centimeter scar on his left face grinned. He ranked third among the Five Overlords and was named Xia Xu.

As he spoke, a long knife appeared out of thin air in his right hand. The blade was pitch black, and the edge seemed to be as white as a fish belly, reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.

"Alright," Xia Li, who was walking in the middle, said indifferently, as if in his eyes, Qin and the others were already dead.

"Ding! Triggering the side quest - Slay the Five Overlords of the Four God Sect! Completing the quest will reward 1,000,000 experience points and a random draw!" Unexpectedly, the system's voice rang in Qin's mind. The Five Overlords of the Four God Sect were not to be trifled with, and it was unreasonable not to trigger the quest. [End of this chapter]
