The battle quickly ended, and the Alliance of Righteousness army completely retreated. Yuan Hong and the cat people also returned to the hill where Qin Jun was, waiting for the cat people and the practitioners of the Xuanfeng Village to be transported over.
"Your Majesty, it will probably take two days to travel from here to the Shousha City," Yuan Hong pondered. Of course, if they were to fly back directly, it would only take a few hours. However, they still had to bring along the cat people and the practitioners from the Xuanfeng Village.
Qin Jun nodded and then smiled, "After we return, we will make a plan."
The unclaimed territory was vast, and he couldn't just fight his way back. Even if they broke through each city, the subsequent governance would be a major problem. The cat people definitely couldn't stay in power, and the Xuanfeng Village consisted of rough people whom Qin Jun couldn't trust.
Yuan Hong nodded. He wasn't Sun Wukong, but he had a lot of insight into military matters.
While waiting for the cat people and the practitioners from the Xuanfeng Village to be transported, Chen Lian and a group of elders flew over.
"Are you Lord Jun Qing?" Chen Lian asked with a smile, bowing to Qin Jun. The news of Lord Jun Qing was only known to major forces, and coincidentally, their Southern Ming Holy Sect was a bit weaker.
Qin Jun glanced at him and nodded indifferently.
He didn't need to cater to someone who was just the leader of the Southern Ming Holy Sect, not like the father of You Fenghuang.
Chen Lian wasn't a powerhouse like Mo Xuanfeng, so there was no need to make friends.
The Ghost Young Master, on the other hand, stared eagerly at Qin Jun and reached out his hand, saying, "Hello, I am the Ghost Young Master of the Black Burning God Sect. I heard that you destroyed the Four Gods Sect, well done!"
After Qin Jun destroyed the Four Gods Sect, he went straight to the Abyss Gate, but the two sides didn't start a war, leading to rumors spreading. Most people thought that the Abyss Gate and Lord Jun Qing had reached some kind of agreement, including the Ghost Young Master.
Ghost Young Master?
What kind of name is that?
Qin Jun was speechless and casually asked, "What is your relationship with Gu Deng?"
If he knew that the Ghost Young Master had an engagement with You Fenghuang, he would probably tear him apart on the spot.
"He is my second uncle," the Ghost Young Master frowned slightly. Qin Jun calling him by his uncle's name was disrespectful.
"Oh!"
Qin Jun ignored him, not even considering Gu Deng, let alone Gu Deng's nephew.
Chen Lian wanted to speak but found himself at a loss for words. In the presence of Qin Jun, his aura made him involuntarily nervous.
The Ghost Young Master, however, unaware of the situation, became angry when Qin Jun ignored him.
"Hmph!"
Yuan Hong snorted coldly. Seeing the Ghost Young Master daring to glare at Qin Jun, as his subordinate, he naturally couldn't sit idly by. A snort made the Ghost Young Master feel as if struck by lightning, causing him to spit blood and fall to the ground. He tried to stand up but felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
Seeing the Ghost Young Master being kicked away like a sandbag by Yuan Hong, Chen Lian and the elders twitched their faces, feeling both aggrieved and relieved.
They were aggrieved that Qin Jun didn't give them face, but relieved because they had long been unable to stand the Ghost Young Master.
Soon, the cat people were all transported over, and the area below the small hill was filled with the figures of the cat people, making Chen Lian and the others swallow hard.
At this time, the people from the Xuanfeng Village began to emerge, and the powerful auras made Chen Lian and the others widen their eyes.
"What does Lord Jun Qing want to do..." Chen Lian thought in horror. He had a premonition that the unclaimed territory was really going to experience a major earthquake.
First, one of the powerhouses of the righteous path, the Alliance of Righteousness, suddenly attacked, and now Lord Jun Qing brought over a surprising number of powerful individuals. It seemed like the two giants were about to clash!
The unclaimed territory was probably going to be renamed.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Jun glanced back at Chen Lian and asked. What were these people doing standing on the sidelines?
Observing the enemy?
Chen Lian felt embarrassed at being asked and quickly led the elders away. It was hard to imagine that he was the leader of the Southern Ming Holy Sect, showing no aura of a leader in front of Qin Jun.
"Tsk tsk, Qin kid, you are really impressive!" Old Yi marveled, and Qin Jun rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Before long, the King of Barbaric Elephants also came out. As soon as it appeared, it let out a long roar, frightening the practitioners in the Southern Ming Iron Tower.
"What kind of elephant is that..."
"That sound is so terrifying, it almost scared me to death."
"The aura emanating from that giant elephant is so strong..."
"Is that Lord Jun Qing's mount? So majestic, truly my goal!"
Chen Lian's heart was turned upside down, the higher he stood, the more fear he felt. For example, right now, the aura emanating from the King of Barbaric Elephants made his soul tremble.
Unlike Yuan Hong and Wang Yan, who could conceal their auras, the King of Barbaric Elephants was a demon king and had always been unrestrained. "Low-key" was a word it detested.
As time passed, after nearly half an hour, all the people from the Xuanfeng Village were finally transported over.
"Alright, let's set off!" Qin Jun sat on the back of the King of Barbaric Elephants and smiled. Then he looked at Wang Xue and asked, "Miss Wang, the journey is long. Why don't you come up and sit with us?"
"No way!" The King of Barbaric Elephants quickly objected, as if it had been insulted. However, when Qin Jun glared at it, it instantly cowered.
The pain from the depths of its soul made it shiver, and no matter how big its temper was, it would be worn down.
"I won't go up. You want to take advantage of me!" Wang Xue pouted, her silver hair fluttering as she shook her head, exuding a charming air.
Lord Qin knew this was the answer, so he just smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
So, they started heading towards the Shashen City. But today, the news had spread like wildfire. After all, nearly half of the members of the Righteous Alliance had escaped, and Chen Lian didn't want to suppress this matter.
...
Inside the Lord's Mansion of Shashen City.
Yóu Fènghuáng, Liú Bówēn, Lǐ Cúnxiào, Bái Qǐ and others were having a meeting.
"The Righteous Alliance is coming in full force, almost sweeping into the unclaimed territory." Liú Bówēn said with a grim expression. The Righteous Alliance was not as easy to handle as the Four God Sect and the Black Burning God Religion. It was equivalent to the nine evil beings in the righteous path.
One of the main reasons why the righteous path was weaker than the evil path was the scarcity of super forces like the Righteous Alliance.
"The Righteous Alliance's actions this time are not ordinary. Normally, such a large force wouldn't attack a large territory because it's still under the rule of the Holy Dynasty." Yóu Fènghuáng pondered, her words silenced the room.
Her implication was clear, that the Righteous Alliance dared to attack the unclaimed territory because they were acting on the orders of the Holy Dynasty.
It seemed that someone had brought the existence of the unclaimed territory to the attention of the Holy Emperor. Under the management of the Holy Dynasty, how could there be unclaimed territory?
Wasn't this a slap in the face of the Holy Emperor?
"Are we going to compromise? Wait for the Righteous Alliance to take over Shashen City?" Lǐ Cúnxiào asked with a furrowed brow, his tone clearly showing a hint of anger. [End of this chapter]
