The Emperor's fear?
Qin Jun's head was full of black lines, showing too much strength is not good!
But he believed that the Holy Dynasty dared not directly declare war on him, because his subordinates Nezha and King Huangfeng were enough to intimidate the strong of the Holy Dynasty.
Furthermore, he is now a hero of the human race, having driven away the Demon Venerable Pingtian. Why would the Holy Dynasty dare to destroy him?
Even if they want to, they have to find a reason, otherwise it would make other forces uneasy.
After that, Qin Jun no longer paid attention to this side task, and continued to drink and chat with the gods and demons. He believed that from tomorrow on, there would be countless cultivators paying homage to him, and even conquering unclaimed territories would not be too troublesome. As long as the other party is not foolish, they will not stubbornly resist.
That night, Qin Jun was very happy. He did not participate in the battle during the day, but he fought vigorously in his room at night.
...
Early the next morning, Qin Jun ordered the generals of the five major legions to continue their expedition. With King Huangfeng and Nezha staying by his side, he was not afraid of the Bull Demon King attacking again.
As for the conquest of the kingdom, Qin Jun temporarily stopped because he expected the Holy Dynasty to come knocking on his door. When he ascended to the throne, the Holy Emperor sent envoys to offer him amnesty. Now that he had caused such a stir, the Holy Emperor could not remain indifferent.
So for the next few days, Qin Jun just needed to wait.
Sure enough, the news of Pingtian Demon Venerable being defeated by Emperor Qin spread, and the unclaimed territories were shaken as if by an earthquake. More and more cities and factions began to actively surrender to Qin Jun. On the second day, the Black Burning Cult evacuated the unclaimed territories, causing a great uproar.
From then on, the unclaimed territories were truly going to be renamed as Qin.
"Emperor Qin is so mighty, he can even repel Pingtian Demon Venerable!"
"We should pay homage to Emperor Qin as soon as possible, it's better than being forced!"
"Hmph, Emperor Qin's power is too excessive, he is bound to meet his downfall!"
"Are you stupid? His power now extends to the Southern Region. Who can bring about his downfall?"
"Can't you see the situation clearly?"
Emperor Qin's reputation reached its peak, with over fifty cities voluntarily surrendering to him within just three days.
Qin Jun was delighted to receive such news every day. At this rate, it was estimated that within a month, the entire unclaimed territory would fall into his hands.
At the same time, both the righteous and demonic paths were discussing the name of Emperor Qin. King Huangfeng and Nezha quickly became among the top five strong individuals on the Heavenly Ranking, with the Holy Emperor naturally ranking first.
The name of Great Qin had become an existence that surpassed the nine demon venerables and the five heroes of the righteous path!
Qin Jun was no longer a monstrous genius, but an unparalleled emperor!
On this day, the people of the Holy Dynasty finally arrived!
The visitor was a middle-aged man dressed in a golden sacred robe, accompanied by five silver-armored soldiers, all of them sturdy and possessing peak celestial cultivation.
When Liu Bowen brought them into the hall, the middle-aged man in the golden robe bowed first and smiled, "I am an official of the Holy Dynasty, Liu Anxia, specially here to announce the decree of the Holy Emperor to Emperor Qin."
Qin Jun did not get up, still sitting in his seat, swaying his teacup and smiling as he asked, "Why does the Holy Emperor have another decree so soon? It hasn't been long, has it?"
Generally speaking, ordinary kingdoms or even empires would receive a decree from the Holy Emperor only every few years or even decades. Qin Jun had received two within a year, showing how much attention the Holy Emperor paid to him.
"Hehe, times have changed. Now Emperor Qin has made great achievements for the human race, driving away the menace of Pingtian Demon Venerable," Liu Anxia said with composure, his gaze involuntarily turning to Nezha and King Huangfeng sitting on the first chairs on both sides, especially King Huangfeng, who had a sly smile on his face, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Are they Nezha and King Huangfeng?
Liu Anxia thought to himself. He was a golden celestial cultivator, but he still couldn't see through Nezha and King Huangfeng, indicating how strong they were, especially King Huangfeng, with his human body and rat head being too obvious.
"Is Lord Liu here to bestow honors upon me?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
Liu Anxia nodded, "Exactly."
As he spoke, he took out a golden scroll, ready to begin reading.
"Tsk tsk, do I need to kneel to receive the decree?" Qin Jun asked curiously, which made Liu Anxia's mouth twitch. He had naturally heard about the conflict between the envoy of the Holy Dynasty and Qin Jun, and he didn't expect Qin Jun to still hold a grudge.
After cursing the two servants for their lack of insight, Liu Anxia smiled, "Of course not, now Emperor Qin, you are just an ordinary person."
After that, he didn't give Qin Jun a chance to make things difficult, quickly unrolling the golden scroll and reading aloud, "The heavens have a way, the demons disturb the human race, Emperor Qin has driven away Pingtian Demon Venerable, which is a great achievement. Therefore, the Holy Emperor bestows upon Emperor Qin the third-ranking official title of the Holy Dynasty, appoints Nezha as the Demon-slaying Divine General, and appoints King Huangfeng as the Venerable-exterminating Divine General, and rewards the Great Qin Kingdom..."
Following that were a series of rewards, including spiritual stones, martial arts techniques, and precious materials, which were quite generous.
But Qin Jun's brows furrowed, feeling as if a hundred thousand divine beasts were rampaging in his heart.
Damn it!
Are Nezha and King Huangfeng your subordinates that you need to appoint them as divine generals?
A hint of anger rose in Qin Jun's heart. If he agreed, Nezha and King Huangfeng would become the people of the Holy Emperor in name, and might even be dispatched by the Holy Emperor. Could he tolerate that?
After Liu Anxia finished reading the golden scroll, Qin Jun stared at him in silence, making him feel uneasy.
"Emperor Qin, the Holy Emperor invites you to participate in the Grand Celestial Assembly," Liu Anxia said with a smile, but his heart was pounding.
People always said that Emperor Qin was bold and unrestrained, and he wondered if he would be angry and want to kill him.
He himself knew the purpose of the Holy Emperor appointing Nezha and King Huangfeng, so when he received this task, he almost felt black in front of his eyes.
"What if I refuse to accept the decree?" Qin Jun asked expressionlessly, instantly making the atmosphere tense and full of gunpowder.
The five silver-armored soldiers subconsciously wanted to draw their swords, but were stopped by Liu Anxia.
"If the Emperor Qin doesn't agree, then I can't force it," Liu Anxia smiled, as if indifferent, but his tone paused before he continued, "The Observing the Sky Convention, Emperor Qin, it's best for you to participate. It will be helpful for your future."
The Observing the Sky Convention?
Emperor Qin frowned and asked, "What is the Observing the Sky Convention?"
"The Observing the Sky Convention is a grand banquet held once every hundred years. Only the top geniuses and strong individuals of the Holy Dynasty are qualified to enter. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Liu Anxia said with a meaningful tone.
Granting titles was not something the Holy Emperor required him to do, it was just a test of Emperor Qin's attitude. However, the Holy Emperor had given a strict order for Emperor Qin to participate in the Observing the Sky Convention.
Emperor Qin's eyes narrowed, "Can you be more specific about what the Observing the Sky Convention is? All I hear is boasting."
Nezha and King Huangfeng observed Liu Anxia's words and demeanor, both emitting their own killing intent, locking onto Liu Anxia, causing him to involuntarily take a step back.
"Ding! Triggering mandatory task―Participate in the Observing the Sky Convention! Task details: The Observing the Sky Convention contains something the system requires. The host must attend, and it will trigger the next collection task. Upon entering the Observing the Sky Convention, the host will receive one random draw. If the host does not participate, their level will decrease by five!"
The system prompt suddenly sounded, causing Emperor Qin to widen his eyes. [End of this chapter]
