Chapter 396 Demon Emperor

"Is it really you... How is it possible... Aren't you already..."

Tian Jue looked up and saw the face of Old Yi, and was so frightened that he quickly backed away, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

The Nine Spirit Saint looked at Old Yi with a scrutinizing gaze. Within the Great Qin, the person he feared the most was Old Yi, this old guy was unfathomable.

Old Yi looked down at him and slowly spoke, "I haven't died, I've just been trapped for tens of thousands of years."

Tens of thousands of years, such a long time, but when he said it, it seemed like just a simple number.

Tian Jue shuddered, and then suddenly screamed in agony, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

Qin Jun watched in bewilderment. Could this guy be faking it? Is his memory really failing?

At this moment, Old Yi suddenly reached out his right hand and, with a grab in the air, actually lifted Tian Jue, a sixth-level Taiyi Golden Immortal, into the air. This scene made Qin Jun and the others frown.

"Hmph! You really are confused!"

Old Yi snorted coldly, and an unparalleled domineering aura erupted from him, causing Qin Jun to take several steps back, Nezha to take a step back, and the Nine Spirit Saint to tremble.

So powerful!

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, realizing that Old Yi was completely different from what he had thought. From the expression of the Nine Spirit Saint, he could see how strong Old Yi was.

Old Yi then pointed at Tian Jue's forehead, and in an instant, Tian Jue's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and an invisible storm swept out in all directions, causing Qin Jun's black hair to flutter in the wind.

"Ahhhh!"

Tian Jue let out a horrifying scream, making people's scalps tingle.

Old Yi then suddenly swung his right hand, and poor Tian Jue smashed into the mountain wall, blood spraying from his mouth, in extreme pain.

"Do you remember now?"

Old Yi asked in a stern tone. He was even more ruthless than the Nine Spirit Saint, and it seemed that they were not on good terms.

Qin Jun, lost in thought, couldn't help but be suspicious. Was Old Yi genuinely helping Tian Jue regain his memory, or was he setting a trap to manipulate Tian Jue into rebelling against the Great Qin in the future?

As an emperor, Qin Jun had to be cautious.

"Qin kid, this person was once my subordinate. Feel free to ask him anything," Old Yi turned to Qin Jun and said with a smile, once again reverting to his casual demeanor.

Nezha and the Nine Spirit Saint looked at him with completely different eyes.

This old guy is really strong!

Qin Jun nodded and began to question Tian Jue.

Upon careful consideration, Old Yi might not have had any intention of meddling in the affairs of the Great Qin Kingdom. Otherwise, he could have easily killed Qin Jun and his subordinates when he first appeared, even before summoning the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Old Yi had also helped to pressure the Abyss Gate, but unfortunately, Xiao Zhulong had already been taken out of the Southern Domain by a mysterious force, leaving Qin Jun helpless.

After regaining his memory, Tian Jue honestly answered all of Qin Jun's questions.

It turned out that the Qin Emperor's Realm used to be a well-known forbidden place called the Earth Ruins, often ventured into by cultivators seeking adventure. Tian Jue was one of them. However, one day, the small world suddenly became restless, and the entrance and exit were sealed. Unable to escape, Tian Jue could only live and cultivate in the Earth Ruins, hoping to leave one day.

By chance, he discovered a formation secret, and in his excitement to comprehend it, his soul was injured by the formation secret, causing his memories to dissipate. He even triggered the prohibition in the cave, leading to his imprisonment.

"So, you don't have a deep understanding of the Earth Ruins either?" Qin Jun asked with a furrowed brow.

Tian Jue smiled bitterly and nodded. His greed had led to his imprisonment for nearly ten thousand years, truly unfortunate.

"I've heard of the Earth Ruins before, but I didn't pay much attention to it," Old Yi scratched his head and said.

This statement undoubtedly indicated that the Earth Ruins had existed for a longer time than he had. Could it really be related to the ancient Holy Court?

The ancient era was tens of thousands of years ago, and no one knew the exact number. When Old Yi was at the height of his glory, the Holy Court was already a legend. As for how he knew about Ji Yongsheng and the Wheel of Fate, that was unknown, as he never revealed the truth in that regard.

"Enough!"

Qin Jun left in a huff, feeling very frustrated that he hadn't learned anything.

Of course, if Tian Jue were to follow Old Yi's advice and join him, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

A sixth-level Taiyi Golden Immortal would be a rare addition.

If he joined, Qin Jun would have five Taiyi Golden Immortal realm powerhouses under his command: Nezha, King Huangfeng, Chang'e, and the Nine Spirit Saint.

As for Old Yi, Qin Jun still couldn't subdue him. This old guy seems to want to curry favor with Qin Jun, but Qin Jun is also not confident in letting him handle things. Who knows if he will mess things up again.

Jiuling Yuansheng and Nezha exchanged a glance, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect the situation to evolve into what it is now.

"I hope you won't play both sides," Jiuling Yuansheng glanced at Tian Jue and said, then caught up with Qin Jun's footsteps along with Nezha.

Tian Jue shivered under his gaze.

"Look at you, so scared?" Old Yi kicked Tian Jue's butt and scolded, feeling embarrassed for him.

But he was still quite happy in his heart. Perhaps in this world, there was only Tian Jue left as an old acquaintance.

"He's too terrifying..." Tian Jue said with a sense of grievance.

Just thinking about the terrifying experience of being swallowed by Jiuling Yuansheng made him shudder and feel a chill in his heart.

Old Yi smiled meaningfully, "Indeed, he's very powerful. Even in our era, there was no such earth-shattering demon."

Jiuling, the supreme number.

The Nine-Headed Lion obviously had an extraordinary origin. At least Old Yi believed that Jiuling Yuansheng was related to the Holy Court.

It is said that the Holy Court War God had many vassal races. [End of this chapter]
