Chapter 416: The Wrath of the Demon Emperor

The acupoint technique used by Qin Jun is not the common technique in the martial arts world, but an upgraded spell. As long as the opponent's cultivation level does not exceed his by a major realm, he can immobilize the opponent.

Of course, for cultivators, hitting the fatal acupoints is not effective because the primordial spirit exists, and temporary death of the physical body is of no use.

Facing Qin Jun's request, Chang'e showed a smile that seemed both mocking and playful, making him feel uneasy.

The disparity in their realms made it difficult for him to figure out Chang'e, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of their mental connection.

"Come, Your Majesty!" Chang'e smiled.

Qin Jun immediately became excited, finally finding a legitimate reason to take advantage of the situation!

Then he began to act, but he didn't notice that Chang'e's smile became more mischievous.

"Ah—"

Qin Jun was just about to make a move when Chang'e twisted his arm and pressed him against the table, looking down at him and saying in a calm voice, "Your Majesty's spell belongs to the lowest of the low. It's best to give it up as soon as possible."

Critical hit!

A double blow to the mind and body!

Tears streamed down Qin Jun's face, realizing that he shouldn't act recklessly next time. It was too embarrassing, but fortunately, there was no one else in the room.

...

The news of Prince Qin's severed arm did not spread, and the matter of King Xiangguang's murder was quickly suppressed, undoubtedly by the Emperor's hand.

The topics within the Holy City changed rapidly, and soon most people began to discuss another matter.

That was the upcoming talent banquet tomorrow night. With the Grand Observation Conference about to begin, the vast majority of the geniuses of the Holy Dynasty had already gathered in the Holy City. Therefore, this banquet was like a prelude to the conference, and renowned talents would attend.

As night fell, the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint and Old Master Yi also returned. Old Master Yi, who was somewhat drunk, cursed as he entered the room, and Qin Jun and Chang'e followed him into his room.

With Old Master Yi's cultivation, how could he possibly be drunk? But it was difficult to wake up someone pretending to be asleep.

"Old Master Yi, it's really laughable and pitiful that you, as the Demon Emperor, are in such a sorry state," Qin Jun said with a smirk, not feeling any sympathy for Old Master Yi. If there were no one stronger than Old Master Yi among his subordinates, he would have killed him long ago.

But after so many days, the initial killing intent had diminished.

Compared to making Old Master Yi turn against the Emperor, he would rather have Old Master Yi under his command.

"The name of the Demon Emperor... is ridiculous... and pathetic," Old Master Yi rolled on the bed, groaning in agony, his tone filled with helplessness and confusion.

Thousands of years had passed, dynasties had changed, and the once beautiful woman had become the lofty Empress. How could ordinary people understand his feelings?

Qin Jun couldn't understand either, but he had also experienced the despairing pain. After all, he had to stand up obediently afterwards and submit to the damn fate. Life had to go on.

No one is indispensable to anyone.

People are affectionate, but also the most ruthless.

"Follow me well, and you will meet better people in the future," Qin Jun said with a smile, though it was meant to be comforting, he still wanted to laugh.

Haha!

You have today too!

Thinking of Old Master Yi's usual carefree and provocative attitude, and the despicable things he had done, Qin Jun couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Of course, after the relief, there was still a need for reassurance.

He remembered when he first met Old Master Yi, who seemed confused and on the verge of madness. If the Demon Emperor went mad, it would be a disaster for the entire Southern Domain.

Old Master Yi suddenly sat up, his dry hair floating like withered grass. His eyes were sharp, and his expression serious, completely different from his usual self.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, looking at Old Master Yi without fear.

Old Master Yi's eyes were piercing, with a hint of killing intent, causing the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint to step forward and stand in front of Qin Jun. Although the two had been drinking and chatting earlier, the loyalty of the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint to Qin Jun had not diminished.

"I need you to help me resist the Temple!" Old Master Yi said in a deep voice.

"Ding! Triggering a side quest—The Wrath of the Demon Emperor! Quest details: The Demon Emperor was once suppressed by the Temple, and his anger has not subsided. If the host joins him in resisting the Temple, he will gain the unwavering loyalty of the Demon Emperor!"

The system prompt suddenly sounded, causing Qin Jun to raise an eyebrow.

The unwavering loyalty of Old Master Yi was no less than summoning another Nine Spirit Yuan Saint.

The Nine Spirit Yuan Saint had reached the Ninth Layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, and Old Master Yi was likely to have surpassed the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. If he recruited Old Master Yi as a loyal follower, it would be equivalent to refreshing the highest value of battle power under Qin Jun's command.

"You don't need to say it. I also want to confront the Temple. Anyone who dares to obstruct my path will be defeated. I hope you will also become a sharp blade in my hands!" Qin Jun said in a deep voice. This was not the time to be joking around.

As their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly between the two men.

Looking at the spirited Qin Jun in front of him, Old Master Yi felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen his young self, fearless and confident!

"Good!" Old Master Yi shouted, his whole being like a drawn sword, exuding an aura that even the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint found impressive.

Qin Jun was puzzled. Was that all he had to say?

You should at least show some appreciation!

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the room, startling everyone. It was none other than Sun Wukong.

"It's one of us!" Qin Jun quickly said, fearing that Old Master Yi and the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint would unleash their full power and kill Sun Wukong.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, here are the sacred pears you wanted!" Sun Wukong came to Qin Jun with a smile, and as he spoke, he lifted the bundle in his hand. Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and saw that the bundle was bulging, containing at least twenty sacred pears.

"Well done!" Qin Jun took the bundle and praised Sun Wukong, then went to the table and spread out the bundle, revealing dozens of red pears to everyone in the room.

The spiritual energy wafted into their noses, invigorating their spirits.

Qin Jun picked up a holy pear and started eating it directly. As the flesh entered his throat, he felt a rush of heat quickly surging into his body.

Old Master Yi also came over and unceremoniously picked up a holy pear to eat. While eating, he clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't this a holy pear? Tsk tsk, it's not as delicious as the one I planted back in the day."

"Oh? You planted the holy pear?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"That's right, the holy pear is a miraculous tree. When I planted it, one fruit could increase one's cultivation for fifty years. But each person can only benefit from one fruit in their lifetime. Eating more than one won't have any effect," Old Master Yi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun instantly felt disheartened.

Only one fruit is effective?

But then he cast aside these thoughts. He was not alone and could bring these holy pears back to the Great Qin Kingdom's Immortal cultivation academy as a reward.

For a young person, a ten-year increase in cultivation was quite rare.

"Did you encounter any mishaps?" Qin Jun asked Earth Traveling Monkey, and Nine Spirit Yuan Sheng and Old Master Yi also began to size up Earth Traveling Monkey.

Although he was short and had a sordid appearance, he had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, indicating an extraordinary background.

"I was discovered by the Holy Emperor, so it took me half a day to escape," Earth Traveling Monkey smirked, looking somewhat pleased. It was obvious that he had caused quite a stir on the Holy Emperor Peak. [End of this chapter]
