Chapter 363 Causing Troubles

After the Phoenix left, Qin Jun continued to pick up the ancient books on the table and started reading. The more books he read, the more he understood about the world, and the more interested he became.

Various natural treasures, forbidden places, talented individuals, exotic animals, and so on, made him feel like he was back to his childhood, reading comic books.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the room. Qin Jun instinctively turned to look and saw a ragged old man sitting by the window, smiling at him.

"Oh, you still remember me?" Qin Jun sarcastically remarked. This old man had mysteriously disappeared for a month, and Qin Jun had thought he had met with an accident.

The old man chuckled, propping up his head with his right hand and putting his left leg on the table in a very insolent manner. He picked his nose and asked with a smile, "What, miss me?"

This old man is teasing me?

Qin Jun widened his eyes and angrily scolded, "You have the nerve to say that if you hadn't captured the Barbarian Elephant King, it wouldn't have attracted the Demon Lord Pingtian, and you were nowhere to be found during the battle!"

Facing Qin Jun's accusation, the old man just chuckled and did not respond.

His calm and composed demeanor made Qin Jun even more furious. He scolded, "If you have nothing important to say, then get lost. I don't welcome you here!"

Does he think this place is a free inn, where he can come and go as he pleases?

The old man, upon hearing this, slammed the table, startling Qin Jun. Damn, is he going to attack?

The old man spoke with a righteous tone, "We have a deep bond, and I still owe you a favor. How can you drive me away?"

"Damn it! I don't want your favor. Get out of here, the farther the better!" Qin Jun cursed. He had wanted to win over the old man as an ace in the hole, but he always disappeared at critical moments. He was dispensable, so why should Qin Jun keep him?

The old man's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Qin Jun to reject his offer.

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Actually, this time I came back to bring you good news."

"Get lost, I don't want to hear it!"

The old man was infuriated. Dealing with someone like Qin Jun was really difficult.

He had no choice but to restrain his impulse and continue speaking, "I encountered an ancient being, only its soul remains. Guess what I did to it?"

An ancient soul...

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Qin Jun's heart. Could it be...

Seeing Qin Jun's grim expression, the old man thought he was impatient and hurriedly continued, "I wanted to capture it and give it to you. So I battled with it, and it was quite powerful. It took me a lot of effort, but I still let it escape."

Qin Jun remained silent, his face dark as if it could drip water.

This was definitely a trouble he had brought upon himself...

"After it escaped, it returned in less than three days, even stronger. Fortunately, I managed to defeat it, but it escaped again. It came back again, and its strength increased. This cycle repeated, and I thought it must be extraordinary, so I wanted to lure it to you!"

The old man chuckled. This made Qin Jun stand up and overturn the table. His angry face was covered in bulging veins and bloodshot eyes, looking extremely frightening.

This was not a favor, but clearly bringing trouble!

"Old man, you've gone too far!"

Qin Jun pointed at the old man's nose, speaking each word slowly. Nezha and King Huangfeng quickly arrived, as the commotion caused by Qin Jun overturning the table was quite loud.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Nezha asked, looking at the old man with a hostile gaze. He was shocked that he hadn't noticed the old man's arrival.

King Huangfeng didn't recognize the old man, so he immediately released his killing intent, ready to strike at any moment.

"Oh, another expert at the level of the Golden Immortal of the Taiyi realm. Qin kid, do you have a powerful backer?" The old man marveled, and then, thinking of the Wheel of Fate hidden in Qin Jun's body, he understood.

Anyone who possessed the Wheel of Fate was definitely not simple!

"Did you come here on your own, or should I have them escort you out?" Qin Jun asked with narrowed eyes. If Nezha and King Huangfeng couldn't defeat the old man, he would give up resisting.

Even the old man was afraid of the ancient soul, so he definitely couldn't resist it.

But was this ancient soul the same one he had encountered in the Canglan Kingdom?

Qin Jun thought it was highly likely, as there were not many powerful beings from ancient times who had survived, especially in the form of a soul.

The old man chuckled, "Don't be like this..."

"Count to three!"

Qin Jun impatiently said, about to start counting.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a chilling roar came from outside the city, startling Qin Jun, who then glared at the old man.

The familiar roar had once made Qin Jun shudder. It was the ancient soul that had been released in the Canglan Kingdom, but now its voice was even more menacing and terrifying.

"Let's go! You come with me!" Qin Jun said in a deep voice. At this point, he could only settle the score later.

The old man chuckled and walked ahead, with Nezha and King Huangfeng following closely behind.

As they walked out of the room, they looked up and saw a dark figure hovering in the sky. It seemed to be made of swirling black mist, with only its outline and a pair of eerie bloodshot eyes visible.

"Stealing from our sacred court, the crime is unforgivable!"

The ancient soul stared at the old man with a menacing tone, causing Qin Jun to glare at the old man. This old man had clearly concealed the truth.

"Do you remember me?" Qin Jun quickly asked.

The ancient soul turned to look at Qin Jun. At the same time, many cultivators in various parts of the city took to the air, and when they saw the ancient soul, they all gasped in shock.

"My goodness! What is this?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Is that black smoke?"

"Is it a monster or a demon?"

"What is that thing? It looks off..."

The sound of gasps echoed from all directions, and the city guards quickly rushed over.

Facing Qin Jun's question, the ancient soul's eyes showed a look of confusion, muttering to himself, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Qin Jun was delighted, it seemed like there was a chance to negotiate!

"For some reason, when I see you, I want to kill you," the ancient soul muttered, leaving Qin Jun almost speechless.

Old Master Yi burst into laughter, holding his stomach.

Nezha and King Huangfeng each took out their weapons, feeling the immense power of the ancient soul, not daring to take it lightly.

Qin Jun frowned, suddenly recalling that the prince of the Canglan Kingdom, Zhu Yishi, had been absorbed by the ancient soul. Could it be that the hatred had also subtly changed the ancient soul?

No wonder when he ascended the throne, he completed the task of becoming emperor before Zhu Yishi. It turns out that Zhu Yishi didn't actually die, but is living in another way, or perhaps he is now a part of the ancient soul.

"Attack!"

Qin Jun's voice was stern, since negotiation was not possible, there was no need for further discussion!

As the words fell, Nezha rode his wind and fire wheels, while King Huangfeng summoned the winds under his feet, both wielding their divine weapons as they charged towards the ancient soul. [End of this chapter]
