Chapter 347 Watching the Heavenly Cliff

After Jin Pengjun was confirmed, Qin Jun began to arrange the unowned territories. With powerful individuals like Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Jin Jiao, and Yin Jiao, there was no need to worry.

Currently, in the Southern Domain, the only threats to the unowned territories are the Demon Lord Pingtian or the Saint Emperor.

No, there are also Yi Laotou and the ancient soul that emerged from the Canglan Kingdom, but these two individuals should not oppose Qin Jun.

"Furthermore, I want to introduce you to a giant figure of the demon race," Qin Jun changed the topic, piquing everyone's curiosity, while his trusted aides knew who he was referring to.

Pingtian, the Demon Lord!

This powerful figure of the demon race had greatly disrupted the balance between humans and demons in the Southern Domain. In the past, it was the humans who suppressed the demons, but now the demons seemed to have the upper hand. Under the rule of the Holy Dynasty, people didn't feel it, but if one were to go to the human border, they would experience the cruelty.

"Pingtian, the entire human race has no one who can defeat him. Recently, he has been attacking the demonic path and making moves against the righteous path," Qin Jun spoke slowly, instantly casting a solemn atmosphere over the hall.

Attacking the righteous path?

Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, are you suggesting that Pingtian has set his sights on us?"

"Yes... Have you all seen my Barbaric Elephant King? He is Pingtian's subordinate," Qin Jun nodded, feeling extremely annoyed as he spoke.

The Barbaric Elephant King was not captured by him.

It was Yi Laotou's doing, and he regretted not refusing it, knowing the consequences. Upon careful consideration, perhaps Yi Laotou had ill intentions from the start.

Everyone fell silent. They did not blame Qin Jun, nor did they dare to. Cheng Yi hesitantly asked, "If Your Majesty were to return the Barbaric Elephant King, would it be possible to appease this matter?"

Although this would cause Qin Jun to lose face, as he had said, no one in the Southern Domain could defeat Pingtian. Why would they want to offend such a terrifying figure?

Moreover, the Barbaric Elephant King had been living comfortably within the Shaci City, although he had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, he was temporarily of no use.

"Would returning him be enough to appease the situation? Besides, the Barbaric Elephant King and I have already formed a bloodline covenant," Qin Jun shrugged.

A bloodline covenant!

Everyone fell silent. If the bloodline covenant were forcibly broken, it would cause irreparable damage to both parties. If they wanted the Barbaric Elephant King to be unharmed, they would have to let Qin Jun die.

It seemed that this enmity could not be resolved.

"Once the demons approach the unowned territories, leave and inform me!" Qin Jun sternly ordered. With the teleportation gate, he could return in a short time.

At that time, he would gather all the gods and demons above the Golden Immortal realm. He didn't believe they couldn't defeat Pingtian!

Everyone could only nod. Qin Jun's authority was not to be trifled with. While he might consult with his subordinates on some matters, when it came to major issues, his word was final.

As of today, the number of cities under the control of the Great Qin had reached seventy-three, and the five major legions not only did not decrease in number, but had multiplied.

Each city could recruit more soldiers than the casualties, and with leaders like Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and the Red Boy, the number of casualties was unbelievably low.

At the same time, many small and medium-sized forces in the unowned territories had directly turned against the Great Qin. The only force that could pose a threat to the Great Qin, the Black Flame Cult, had not made any moves or declarations, as if the world had nothing to do with them.

As the moon set and the sun rose, the next morning, Qin Jun, accompanied by the Barbaric Elephant King, Li Yuanba, and Jin Pengjun, returned to the Great Qin Kingdom through the teleportation gate and then flew to the neighboring kingdoms with a map in hand.

The first kingdom to be targeted was the Wuqi Kingdom!

Qin Jun stood on the Barbaric Elephant King, with Li Yuanba and others following closely behind. The procession flew over the capital of the Wuqi Kingdom, causing the common people and cultivators to exclaim in surprise.

"What a huge demon elephant!"

"Are you blind? The one standing on top is Emperor Qin!"

"Emperor Qin?"

"Why is he here? Wasn't he in the unowned territories?"

"I heard that Emperor Qin seems to be planning to take action against the neighboring kingdoms!"

As Qin Jun and the others flew towards the Wuqi Kingdom, thousands of troops poured out of the military camp, led by the former Grand General of the Kingdom, Nan Meng!

Qin Jun led the charge to capture the capital of the Wuqi Kingdom, gaining control of the highest authority, making the subsequent actions easier.

With their strength, the Wuqi Kingdom was no match.

...

Between the righteous and demonic paths, there was a peak called the Skyward Peak, a massive canyon that seemed immeasurable in length and a hundred yards wide, like a huge crack lying on the surface of the earth.

The Skyward Peak was unfathomably deep, seemingly harboring some mysterious prohibition. No matter how high one's cultivation was, once they fell in, they could never escape.

Legend had it that in ancient times, a terrifying demon god had split the entire Southern Domain almost in half with a single sword strike, giving rise to the existence of the Skyward Peak.

At this moment, on one side of the Skyward Peak, countless cultivators stood, densely covering the entire land, with no end in sight. Countless cultivators also floated in the air.

Among them, Ren Hai of the Righteous Alliance was also suspended in the air, accompanied by four men and women, all dressed in luxury and exuding an indescribable pressure, as if they were standing in the sky like gods.

They were the leaders of the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path.

The Righteous Alliance, the Great Earth Gorge, the Northern Snow Peak, the Departed Origin Valley, and the Night Moon Divine Sect!

The Five Heroes of the Righteous Path, who could contend with the Nine Lords of the Demonic Path, although their overall strength was still weaker than the Nine Lords.

Tens of millions of cultivators stood silently in front of the Skyward Peak, waiting, so quiet that it was terrifying, and the atmosphere was filled with a chilling air that made people dare not take a deep breath.

"They're here!" Ren Hai suddenly gritted his teeth, and the leaders of the other four factions also frowned.

On the other side of the horizon at the foot of the Skyward Cliff, a towering figure appeared, massive and imposing. Although his true face could not be discerned, shrouded by rolling dark clouds, he exuded a terrifying aura, giving the cultivators a spine-chilling sensation. Even from hundreds of miles away, the sight of this horrifying figure made the cultivators involuntarily swallow their saliva.

"Can we stop him..."

Hu Yu, the peak master of the Northern Snow Peak, gritted her teeth and asked. Her countenance was cold and elegant, dressed in snowy white robes, she appeared to be in her early thirties. Despite her stunning beauty, her aloof demeanor kept people at a distance.

Can we stop him?

Ren Hai and the others fell silent. Whether they could or not, they had to try. If they allowed the other party to enter the righteous path, it would bring disaster to the people.

"Roar—"

The roaring of the demonic beasts echoed from the horizon, sending shivers down their spines.

The horrifying figure was none other than the Demon Lord Pingtian!

Upon learning that Qin Jun was on the righteous path, he led the demonic army directly to attack. Although some claimed that Qin Emperor had captured the Barbarian Elephant King, the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path were unable to deal with Qin Emperor, and the Holy Emperor would never hand over the people to the demonic race. Wouldn't this be a sign to the world that the human race was inferior to the demonic race?

Therefore, the Five Heroes of the Righteous Path had no choice but to brace themselves to resist the Demon Lord Pingtian.

Given Pingtian's style of action, how could he only be here to capture Qin Emperor? His true goal was the territory of the human race. [End of this chapter]
