As Zhu Yanqing reminisced about Qin Jun, a woman in white strolled over. The petals on the roadside flew up and gathered around her, as if she were a flower spirit, approaching Zhu Yanqing like a fairy.
"Sister apprentice, what are you thinking about?" the woman in white asked with a ethereal voice, her veiled face making it impossible to see her expression, but her beautiful eyes and a hint of blush between her eyebrows were visible.
Zhu Yanqing glanced at her and then casually replied, "Nothing much."
"Are you thinking about that Emperor Qin?" the woman in white approached Zhu Yanqing.
"Listen to me, that man has committed too many sins, and being an emperor, he is not a suitable match for you. You are a holy spirit of the sacred sect, destined for eternity. Why be so fixated on him?" The woman in white sat down calmly, speaking as if it were an inconsequential matter.
Zhu Yanqing stared at the woman in white and earnestly said, "Sister Mo, have you seen the green grass by the deserted stream in the mountains? Have you seen the bustling streets of the kingdom? Do you know the smiles of ordinary people?"
Sister Mo was taken aback by Zhu Yanqing's words and asked, "What's so special about those things?"
Zhu Yanqing shook her head with a wry smile, looked at the setting sun, and her gaze softened as she murmured, "Immortality is not everyone's pursuit, and ordinariness is not to be despised. He may only be the emperor of the kingdom, but the person I like is him, not the privileged of the sacred sect, nor the heroes of the world."
Sister Mo was infuriated by Zhu Yanqing's words. She thought to herself, "This girl still can't forget about Emperor Qin!"
"Hmph, you will understand in the future," Sister Mo snorted, thinking to herself, "That boy has caught the attention of the Demon Lord Pingtian. You may never see him again."
But she wouldn't reveal Emperor Qin's situation, as it would only make Zhu Yanqing act impulsively. In her view, Emperor Qin's time was running out.
Pingtian Demon Lord was a terrifying existence. Without the intervention of the Holy Emperor, no one could stop him.
...
One day, the calm was finally shattered!
"Report! There is a beast tide in the west!"
"Report! There are also troops of demons appearing in the north!"
"Report..."
Qin Jun, who was practicing swordsmanship, was stunned by the reports from the soldiers.
He looked up at the sky, where rolling thunderclouds seemed to gather like a siege, and a terrifying pressure filled the air, even making him feel suffocated.
"Is it finally coming..." Qin Jun murmured to himself.
At this moment, Nezha, Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Xiaotianquan, Jinjiao, Yinjiao, Li Yuanba, and others flew into the courtyard, even the Giant Spirit God stood outside the courtyard wall, waiting for Qin Jun's orders.
Shen Gongbao said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the strength of this demonic aura is terrifying. If Pingtian Demon Lord appears, you must not go out."
Qin Jun shook his head, surveyed everyone, and smiled, "You are fighting for me. How can I cower here? Even if I can't help, I must watch you fight!"
With these words, the hearts of the gods and demons were deeply moved, and their blood boiled with excitement.
So what if it's Pingtian Demon Lord?
Qin Jun then led them to fly to the city wall, and the cultivators in the city were too scared to leave their homes.
"What's going on? This aura is so familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar. Could it be..." Hong Haier muttered to himself.
The group quickly arrived at the city wall and looked at the horizon where thunder and lightning were rampant. Their expressions became solemn, even Nezha, who stood at the top of the watchtower, couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, why don't you retreat first?" Liu Bowen advised, and Daji, Xiaoli, and You Fenghuang also joined in. Pingtian Demon Lord had not yet appeared, but the intimidating demonic aura made people shudder. If Nezha and the others couldn't stop Pingtian Demon Lord, Qin Jun could still escape using the teleportation gate. But if he stayed here and encountered trouble, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
"No need to advise me again! No matter how strong Pingtian Demon Lord is, he cannot defeat my beloved generals when they join forces!" Qin Jun shouted in a deep voice. Even if Pingtian Demon Lord was as strong as Bull Demon King, he was not afraid.
In Journey to the West, with the help of the gods, Nezha beheaded Bull Demon King multiple times. Now, Nezha was accompanied by Yuan Hong, Giant Spirit God, Xiaotianquan, Jinjiao, Yinjiao, and other powerful beings. Naturally, they were not weaker than Nezha.
Of course, it would be difficult for Nezha alone to defeat Bull Demon King. In Journey to the West, if Bull Demon King had not been trapped by the gods' heavenly net and covered by Li Jing's demon-revealing mirror, how could Nezha have captured him? After all, Bull Demon King could also transform into seventy-two different forms, but he was not as agile as Sun Wukong.
At this moment, a towering and terrifying figure appeared at the end of the earth, his upper body shrouded in thunderclouds, and every step he took made the earth tremble.
Boom!
Thunder and lightning crackled around him, and countless demons surged around his feet like a flood.
"It's really him! Damn!" Hong Haier suddenly exclaimed. Having spent a long time with Qin Jun, he had picked up his habit of swearing.
Qin Jun's heart trembled slightly. Damn, it really was Bull Demon King!
"Nezha! Yuan Hong! Giant Spirit God! Lei Zhenzi! Hong Haier! Li Yuanba! Xiaotianquan! Jinjiao! Yinjiao! Shen Gongbao!" Qin Jun called out the names of the gods and demons above the True Immortal realm in one breath, and his calm voice inexplicably calmed the terrified soldiers.
He then shouted in a deep voice, "Be ready for battle at any time!"
At the same time, Pingtian Demon Lord was getting closer and closer to the city of Shacha, and the towering figure seemed like Mount Wuzhou was moving. Every step he took made people dare not even take a deep breath.
"Where is Emperor Qin? Come out!"
The voice of the Demon Lord of Pingtian, like the roar of thunder from the Ninth Heaven, suddenly resounded. The rolling sound waves blew the withered trees in front of them off the ground, causing everyone in the Shusha City to feel their eardrums ringing. The weaker ones even had their eardrums ruptured, causing unbearable pain.
Qin Jun squinted his eyes and thought, "How arrogant! I must teach him a lesson today!"
What about the Bull Demon King? The current Qin Jun is not so easily manipulated!
"Your Majesty, let me talk to him!"
Hong Haier said and flew forward. Wrapped in the Samadhi True Fire, he looked like a fireball sweeping through, tearing the air and causing the demon army to roar.
At this moment, the Demon Lord of Pingtian suddenly stopped. Even though there were tens of thousands of meters between them, Hong Haier appeared very small in front of him, like dust.
"Why are you here?" the Demon Lord of Pingtian said in a deep voice, with a hint of surprise mixed in his voice. But because of his low voice, it gave a sense of annoyance.
Hovering in mid-air, Hong Haier angrily scolded, "You heartless old man, what are you doing here!"
Qin Jun almost burst out laughing. Hong Haier was really not giving the Bull Demon King any face!
As expected, the Demon Lord of Pingtian, also known as the Bull Demon King, became even angrier. He shouted, "You brat, how dare you insult your old man, go away!"
As he spoke, the Bull Demon King suddenly slapped out, and before Hong Haier could react, he was smashed into the ground like swatting a fly, with flying debris and dust rising. [End of this chapter]
