Chapter 480 Target Demon Clan

"Six star officials have died so far, and there are still eleven left."

Qin Jun nodded and smiled at Yang Jian, whose killing intent had not completely dissipated in front of him. Looking at Yang Jian, who stood tall like a iron tower, he became more and more satisfied.

Yang Jian was not like Li Yuanba or the Red Boy, who were just brute force warriors, but he had both courage and strategy. Of course, compared to Li Jing, his strategy might be a bit lacking, but not by much.

"Eleven more?" Yang Jian looked at Qin Jun in surprise.

He couldn't even sense how many people were watching from the Celestial Realm, how did Qin Jun know?

The others were immediately filled with fear. Did this mean that there were eleven more enemies at the Taiyi Immortal Realm waiting for them? What terrified them the most was the identity of these people. Could it be that they were related to the forces behind the Celestial Observation Conference?

Qin Jun smiled slightly, not offering an explanation. Instead, he looked up at the sky full of stars, his hands behind his back, his eyes becoming deep and profound as he softly said, "I do not kill, yet people want to kill me. The heavens have their own way of turning, and who can escape the fate determined by the heavens."

Impressive!

The geniuses from the Southern Region looked at Qin Jun with admiration. To show off, one needs such an audience, and Qin Jun was very pleased.

Yang Jian's mouth twitched, and he shook his head with a wry smile. "Truly worthy of our king, able to turn black into white."

In their view, the reason the star officials targeted Qin Jun was because he had violated the rules of the Celestial Observation Conference. So when they heard Qin Jun's words, they thought he was trying to shift the blame.

Qin Jun shrugged and said with a smile, "There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, only disputes of interest. No matter who wants to obstruct or kill me, I will not let them off!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the geniuses from the Southern Region, frightening them into averting their eyes.

Hmm, not bad.

My authority is growing day by day.

Qin Jun thought to himself with satisfaction, then smiled and said, "Let's continue forward!"

He had originally wanted to ask about the storage rings of the five star officials, but he stopped himself when he realized that they were Yang Jian's spoils of war. Besides, he had a feeling that Yang Jian had probably destroyed the storage rings of the star officials.

Yang Jian didn't lack anything, and his fighting style was so ferocious.

Of course, Qin Jun was just thinking casually.

From the recent battle, it could be seen that the five star officials did not have very powerful treasures. They probably either didn't bring their treasures with them, or they were simply not very wealthy.

At the same time, there was still discord within the Celestial Observation Palace. The Nine Star Officials, Seven Star Officials, and Six Star Officials were unwilling to confront Yang Jian, and the Great Star Official couldn't take action against them either.

This matter concerned the wheel of fate, and the Great Star Official dared not report it, causing the Celestial Observation Palace to remain in a state of discord.

Time passed quickly.

Qin Jun resumed challenging the participants, causing his reputation to rapidly increase, as did his fame value. More and more people in the Southern Region were developing emotions towards him, and he was about to break through the 15 million mark, showing that Qin Jun's reputation was extremely high even within the kingdom.

The reason for this sudden surge was because Qin Jun's subordinate, the Nine Spirit Saint, had defeated the Demon Lord Pingtian, who had once been a nightmare for the human race in the Southern Region. This caused a great sensation and rapidly elevated Qin Jun's reputation.

At the same time, the Great Qin Heavenly Court began to formulate a plan to attack the demon race in the Southern Region.

The territory occupied by the demon race was no weaker than that of the human race. Now that the threat of the Demon Lord Pingtian had been eliminated, the Great Qin Heavenly Court naturally coveted the resources of the demon race's territory.

Of course, all of this was a plan that Qin Jun had formulated in advance. He had anticipated that the Demon Lord Pingtian would come to attack before participating in the Celestial Observation Conference. If he could defeat the Demon Lord Pingtian again, he would then launch an all-out attack on the demon race's territory.

As the Great Qin Heavenly Court's plan to go to war unfolded, discussions in the mortal realm were in full swing.

"Qin Saint Emperor is truly an unparalleled emperor!"

"He is not just an unparalleled emperor. If he conquers the demon race in the Southern Region, he will definitely leave his name in history!"

"Tsk tsk, it is said that the Qin Saint Emperor is the number one on the Righteous Path Ranking. I don't know if it's true. Since the emergence of the Qin Saint Emperor, the Qin Emperor has been removed from the ranking."

"It's possible. The Qin Emperor relied on his subordinates, and so does the Qin Saint Emperor. At least there have been no reports of the Qin Saint Emperor's achievements."

More and more people were starting to support the idea that the Qin Emperor was the same as the Qin Saint Emperor. Most people were not fools, and it was clear that the people under the Qin Emperor were now appearing under the Qin Saint Emperor, which was an obvious fact.

But some people were still hesitant to believe it, which was understandable. Qin Jun's rise in status was just too fast!

Whether he was the Qin Emperor or the Qin Saint Emperor, he was still Qin Jun, and it didn't affect the growth of his fame value.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

At the peak of the Sacred Emperor Peak, in front of the Celestial Observation Platform, Qin Jun's aura column had already broken through 400 meters, towering over the other aura columns. Today's No Regrets was still in second place at 90 meters.

At the same time, there had been no deaths among the Southern Region geniuses for two days, and the number remained stable at forty-seven.

This sign was puzzling, but it delighted the gamblers who had been betting on these geniuses in the gambling dens.

"When will the Celestial Observation Conference end..."

Daji looked at Qin Jun's aura column with worry, muttering to herself. Although Qin Jun was in the limelight, she was afraid that one day she would suddenly see his aura column dissipate.

Chang'e said softly, "Worrying is useless. Don't worry, he definitely has a trump card."

Those familiar with Qin Jun knew his temperament. He never did anything without confidence, and he always managed to produce a trump card at critical moments, shocking those around him and leaving his enemies in despair.

Daji nodded. She understood the reasoning, but when you love someone, your rationality decreases, and it's inevitable to have some worries.

...

On the mountaintop, Qin Jun and the others were sitting in meditation, not because they were physically exhausted, but because their mana needed to recover after frequent battles.

Yang Jian and Golden Cicada stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance. Yang Jian muttered, "Why haven't those star officials arrived yet?"

Golden Cicada was speechless, thinking to himself, "Big brother, you're so powerful, who would dare to come?"

He couldn't wait for the Heavenly Observation Conference to end so that Yang Jian could leave quickly.

Just then, a group of monks flew in from the distance, led by Xuan Qing, who was Qin Jun's opponent in the first battle of the Heavenly Observation Conference. His move, the Tathagata Palm, had left a deep impression on Qin Jun.

"Senior brother, there are people over there!"

A monk exclaimed in excitement, as if he had spotted prey. Xuan Qing nodded and led the team towards Qin Jun and the others with an imposing momentum.

Soon, he caught sight of Qin Jun's figure.

"It's you!"

Xuan Qing shouted in a deep voice, like thunder, startling Qin Jun and the others.

Qin Jun, upon seeing him, couldn't help but smile mockingly and said, "Oh, isn't this the first genius of the Western Buddhist sect?"

His sarcastic tone instantly darkened Xuan Qing's expression.

He swiftly flew towards Qin Jun with a murderous aura, devoid of the compassion expected of a monk.

"Let me handle this!"

Qin Jun stood up and smiled, stopping Yang Jian, who was about to intervene.

Joking aside, Qin Jun could handle someone like Xuan Qing on his own.

Today, he was going to teach Xuan Qing a lesson.

What if he was the first genius of the Buddhist sect? Even the second disciple of the Tathagata was under Qin Jun's command! [End of this chapter]
