After the Nine-headed Bug joined, Qin Jun began to introduce them to each other. Zhu Bajie was the joker, and the atmosphere was so awkward that it was hard to bear. Jin Chanzi was carefree and not the silent type. Yang Jian also acknowledged the Nine-headed Bug's strength, and everything was harmonious.
"Your Majesty, are we going to kill the Night Emperor next?" the Nine-headed Bug asked in surprise.
On the way here, he had heard of the existence of the Night Emperor in the demon clan, the overlord of the endless territory and the king of the demon clan.
The strength of the demon clan in the endless territory was quite good. Along the way, he encountered several demon kings who were not much weaker than him, indicating how strong the Night Emperor was.
"Why, are you afraid?" Qin Jun asked with a smirk.
"Afraid? I, the Nine-headed Bug, have never been afraid of anyone! I'll be the first to go when the time comes!" the Nine-headed Bug snorted. He seemed impulsive, but he had confidence in himself and also wanted to redeem himself.
Previously, being completely powerless against Yang Jian, even though no one made fun of him, it still became a thorn in his heart.
Qin Jun burst into laughter, and Zhu Bajie followed, saying, "The Night Emperor is very strong. Do you want to be cannon fodder? Earlier, we encountered a demon who was likely a subordinate of the Night Emperor, and he was likely at the late stage of the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm."
Slap in the face!
Qin Jun noticed the Nine-headed Bug's face instantly turning ugly.
Indeed, it was embarrassing. Such speculation about the Night Emperor's strength likely surpassed the late stage of the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm, and the Nine-headed Bug was not someone who could confront such a being.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. We should continue our journey soon!" Qin Jun waved his hand and said with a smile. He wanted to eliminate the Night Emperor as soon as possible so that he could rush to the Southern End Sea with Xiao Li and live a happy and peaceful life.
No one objected.
After a stick of incense's time had passed, the group flew away on clouds and mist.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, the Night Emperor was flying rapidly on his throne.
His face was pale, and there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.
"I didn't expect this old monster to have made progress in his strength again," the Night Emperor muttered through gritted teeth, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
At least he didn't lose, but instead repelled the Eastern Domain Lord.
The Eastern Domain Lord's arrival in the endless territory, regardless of his purpose, was definitely not favorable to him, so he was very glad to have discovered the Eastern Domain Lord's whereabouts in time.
However, he was unaware that a catastrophe was waiting for him next.
He also didn't know the news of the death of the Bull Demon King.
Although in that battle, the Bull Demon King was at a disadvantage, he didn't believe that the other party could kill the Bull Demon King.
Whoosh— The Night Emperor's figure quickly disappeared into the sky.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed quickly.
On this day, the monthly opportunity to summon gods and demons arrived as scheduled.
"Let's start summoning!" Qin Jun decided directly. Even in a foreign land, his power was still growing.
"Ding! Randomly summoning gods and demons has begun..."
The system prompt sounded, and Qin Jun was in a very relaxed mood. With Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Bug, even if they summoned a weakling, they could handle it.
Jin Chanzi turned to Qin Jun and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, we should be able to reach the Night Emperor's palace in a few days."
The endless territory was vast, spanning the Eastern Flame Domain. Even with Zhu Bajie's cloud-traveling ability, it would take a long time to fly. Fortunately, the Night Emperor's palace was located in the center of the endless territory, not at the other end.
Qin Jun nodded. In his eyes, the Night Emperor was already a dead man. As long as he didn't seek outside help, he was definitely doomed!
When he mentioned the Night Emperor, he suddenly became curious about the current situation of the Bull Demon King.
He could only wait until the day he summoned the Bull Demon King to be able to subdue him.
"Nine-headed Bug, you know the Bull Demon King, right?" Qin Jun asked the Nine-headed Bug coldly.
In Journey to the West, the Nine-headed Bug and the Bull Demon King were good friends, and their strengths were definitely on par.
"I know him. What's the matter?" the Nine-headed Bug asked in surprise, not expecting Qin Jun to know about the Bull Demon King.
"How strong is he?" Qin Jun asked casually.
Zhu Bajie widened his eyes, also surprised that Qin Jun knew about the Bull Demon King's existence. Erlang Shen also raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing that it seemed like they all knew each other from a previous life...
Just then, the system prompt suddenly sounded in Qin Jun's mind:
"Congratulations, host, for summoning the Divine Beast, Diteng!"
Diteng?
Qin Jun was delighted. Diteng, the Divine Beast, was the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and had appeared in the plot of the True and False Monkey King. Unfortunately, he had not been able to distinguish the true and false Monkey King. Perhaps it had deliberately let him down, but it would definitely be a good mount.
"Quickly bring up Diteng's attribute list!" Qin Jun urged in his mind.
The Nine-headed Bug answered, "The Bull Demon King is very strong. In a one-on-one fight, I might not even be able to defeat him."
So, does this mean that the early arrival of the Bull Demon King has not yet reached its peak level?
Qin Jun secretly thought to himself, his gaze falling on the attribute list of the Di Ting:
"Di Ting, from myth and legend."
"Identity: Divine Beast!"
"Cultivation: First level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"
"Divine Ability: True Spirit Eye! Penetrating the soul!"
"Loyalty: 97 (full value 100)!"
The attributes were very simple, but he didn't expect it to have reached the first level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, which was incredible.
Such a mount was in line with his identity.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Ruo's voice brought Qin Jun's thoughts back from the mythological system.
Qin Jun rolled his eyes and said, "None of your business, I'm thinking about how to sleep with you!"
With that, Liu Ruo blushed, then playfully scratched him, and as they looked at the two of them playing around, Jin Chan and the others burst into laughter.
Since being reminded by Ji Yongsheng, Qin Jun had been secretly observing Liu Ruo.
Every time Liu Ruo noticed his gaze, she would feel shy, thinking that Qin Jun was starting to like her.
Because of Ji Yongsheng's reminder and the incompetence of the system, Qin Jun decided not to drive away Liu Ruo for the time being. He wanted to see what was extraordinary about this woman.
At worst, he could take her as his holy concubine, hehe!
Does this count as a girl's development?
Qin Jun blinked and thought that Liu Ruo's childishness made her look like she was only fourteen or fifteen, but in fact, she was already seventeen. In this world, a seventeen-year-old girl was already considered a leftover woman unless she had outstanding abilities. Otherwise, people would gossip about her if she didn't get married.
That's why Liu Ruo's father was anxious to marry her off.
As the two of them played around, the team had already flown dozens of miles.
...
Time passed quickly.
Dusk arrived, the sun set and the moon rose, and after the night passed, it was already the next day.
As Qin Jun and the others continued on their way, a monstrous beast suddenly flew towards them from the front, with a tiger's head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and the feet of a qilin, not only not strange, but also mighty and extraordinary, standing at a shoulder height of ten feet, rushing through the void.
It was none other than the divine beast Di Ting.
"Di Ting?" Yang Jian frowned and murmured, Zhu Bajie also recognized Di Ting, and the two of them looked extremely strange, subconsciously looking at Qin Jun.
Qin Jun cleared his throat and then said firmly, "That's right, it's my mount!"
Jin Chan widened his eyes. He knew that Di Ting was the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's status in the Buddhist world was not low. Could it be that Qin Jun had brought it from another time and space using boundless divine power?
