For a long time, Qin Jun's consciousness gradually emerged from the ancient barbaric elephant's inherited memories. Before he even opened his eyes, he felt a burning sensation all over his body, as if on fire, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Instead, he felt excited, eager to engage in a thrilling battle.
When he regained control of his body, he realized that it was shaking. Subconsciously opening his eyes, he found himself sitting on the back of the barbaric elephant king, surrounded by a vast army of cat people. The beast tide had long disappeared.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Yuan Hong, who was on the right side of the barbaric elephant king, asked with concern. Lei Zhenzi, Wang Xue, and Wang Yan also looked at him.
Qin Jun twisted his neck and smiled, "I feel great!"
More than great!
He felt his physical strength almost doubled, and the feeling of this explosive power was exhilarating.
"Of course, the ancient barbaric elephant is extraordinary. Its ancestors once coiled the sun and moon and swallowed mountains and rivers!" The old man on the left side of the barbaric elephant king snorted, giving Qin Jun a disdainful look, as if to say that he had hit the jackpot.
Qin Jun chuckled. He could feel that he had established an indescribable connection with the barbaric elephant king beneath him. A single thought from him could make the barbaric elephant king suffer, a strange and yet real feeling!
This was the power of bloodline covenant!
Even though the barbaric elephant king was stronger than Qin Jun, once the bloodline covenant was formed, the relationship was instantly reversed. Of course, if it weren't for the old man forcibly suppressing it, Qin Jun would not have been able to form a covenant with the barbaric elephant king.
As Qin Jun enjoyed the surging power within him, the outline of the mountains appeared at the end of the grassland.
The entire Langya Mountains were surrounded by forests, and leaving the grassland meant they were almost out of the central area.
However, it would take at least three days to reach Xuanfeng Fort, as most of the cat people did not have the ability to fly.
...
The news of the Black Sha Sect's attack on Qin Jun and the cat people tribe spread like wildfire, and the news of the barbaric elephant king being captured by Qin Jun also spread.
For a while, even the nine demon lords of the demonic path were shaken. Ordinary forces might not know what the barbaric elephant king represented, but the nine demon lords were well aware.
While various forces mocked the Black Sha Sect for being cowardly, the nine demon lords became nervous.
To the nine demon lords, the Heavenly Demon Lord was a nightmare-like existence, even more terrifying than the Holy Emperor in their eyes.
After all, the nine demon lords were also under the control of the Holy Emperor, so the Holy Emperor would protect them. However, the Heavenly Demon Lord might not. He would bite anyone who provoked him without any scruples!
...
The Abyss Gate.
In the great hall, Nangong Lie Tian sat on the throne, looking down at the elders and stewards below, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of the Langya Mountains?"
"There's no need to say, it must be the people of Emperor Qin. That ugly stick-wielding man who killed Qi Tianxin must be Lei Zhenzi!" a senior elder said in a muffled voice, causing the others to nod. They were almost out of patience with Qin Jun.
This kid had too many powerful subordinates, and there was even one who was Nangong Lie Tian's ancestor. What could they do?
"Humph, this is something this lord naturally knows. What this lord is asking is what consequences will arise from the capture of the barbaric elephant king," Nangong Lie Tian snorted coldly. Despite his low posture in front of the old man, he was usually extremely dignified, making people dare not look him in the eye.
The barbaric elephant king!
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became eerie, making it hard to breathe.
They were not afraid of the barbaric elephant king, but of the Heavenly Demon Lord behind the barbaric elephant king.
"It seems that the demonic path will not be peaceful. We'd better stop all actions against the various empires of the righteous path in the near future." an elderly elder spoke up, prompting the others to nod.
Nangong Lie Tian nodded in contemplation and said, "Immediately stop all plans against the righteous path in the near future, and then await the orders of the Haori Alliance."
"Yes!"
The elders and stewards all responded in unison.
...
Just as the outside world was in an uproar over the matter of the barbaric elephant king, another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the forest, the massive body of the barbaric elephant king knocked down one big tree after another, followed by tens of thousands of cat people. Not long after, they arrived at Xuanfeng Fort.
"Father, it is said that Xuanfeng Fort is inhabited by some human bandits. Will they allow us to use the teleportation gate?" Wang Xue asked anxiously.
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, "We don't need to worry about this. Our lord's subordinates will take care of it."
Qin Jun, sitting on the back of the barbaric elephant king, twitched his mouth. You're quite comfortable being a subordinate!
But for now, he didn't need Wang Yan. When he returned to the Great Qin Empire or the Land of No Master, he planned to train a cat people army.
Cat people were extremely fast and had strong combat abilities. When fighting against cultivators of the same level, the chances of death were even higher. If he could train an elite force, they would definitely be invincible!
Qin Jun was full of anticipation, and Wang Yan was the same. He also hoped that the cat people tribe would show the ferocity of ancient times.
Soon, they walked out of the forest, and ahead was a cliff, nearly a hundred meters away from the opposite side, connected by an iron cable. Looking ahead, they could see the mountain stronghold on the opposite mountain, with wooden buildings and many patrolling cultivators.
Qin Jun stopped, not continuing forward. He believed that Shengong Bao had already sensed his arrival.
Sure enough, in less than three breaths, Shengong Bao and a middle-aged man in a sable robe flew over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Shengong Bao landed in front of Qin Jun and bowed with a smile, while the middle-aged man in the sable robe looked slightly nervous as he scrutinized the barbaric elephant king.
Xuanfeng Fort had been stationed in the Langya Mountains for hundreds of years, and he had seen the barbaric elephant king many times. Although he could defeat the barbaric elephant king, he dared not offend the barbaric elephant king since the Heavenly Demon Lord had visited ten years ago.
"Well, this is the lord of Xuanfeng Fort, right?"
Qin nodded and then smiled as he asked the middle-aged man in the sable coat a question. As soon as he spoke, the middle-aged man in the sable coat hurriedly replied, "I am Mo Xuanfeng, the leader of the Xuanfeng Gang. I have seen Your Majesty."
Wang Yan couldn't help but ask Wang Xue, "Which country's emperor is Qin's son?"
He often heard Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong refer to Qin as "Your Majesty," but he was not clear about Qin's true identity. Since Qin didn't say, he didn't dare to ask. As long as he knew that Qin was a descendant of Ji Yongsheng, it was enough.
"I don't know. He said he is the Emperor of Qin. Anyway, I don't believe it," Wang Xue shrugged.
The Emperor of Qin?
Wang Yan had also heard of this name. He was the most legendary figure among the younger generation of the righteous path recently, and even the Abyss Gate suffered a setback at the hands of the Emperor of Qin.
Although Qin's subordinates were also very strong, Wang Yan felt that there was still a gap between him and the Emperor of Qin, which was related to their status. The gap between the Cat People and the Nine Lords of the Demon Path was huge, not to mention the Emperor of Qin. Therefore, in his opinion, it was impossible for him to have any dealings with such a legendary figure as the Emperor of Qin.
"Leader Mo, do you think your teleportation gate can transport all of us away?" Qin pointed to the Cat People behind him and smiled. Mo Xuanfeng spread out his divine sense, and as soon as he sensed it, he trembled all over.
Damn it!
Tens of thousands of Cat People...
Mo Xuanfeng's face looked a bit ugly. If it were just a few people being transported, it would be fine, but how much spiritual stones would it take to transport tens of thousands of people? [End of this chapter]
