Chapter 584: The Divine Generals of the Town Court

In the face of the Buddha's attempts to sow discord, Kuafu remained cold and indifferent, his eyes filled with even deeper killing intent. He coldly said, "It seems you have no intention of backing down!"

As he spoke, Kuafu took a step towards the Buddha, towering over a thousand zhang in the night, he was no less imposing than the Buddha. His presence compelled everyone to look at him.

With each step, the surrounding space trembled, revealing the terror of his aura.

"So this is the power of a great witch..."

Yang Jian murmured in shock, and the other deities and demons felt the same. Although Kuafu had not yet made a move, the aura he exuded sent chills down their spines.

Yang Jian and the Nine-Headed Bug could contend with a great Luo, but Kuafu was no ordinary early-stage great Luo Golden Immortal. Perhaps the two of them together could confront Kuafu.

"Wow, Kuafu is so cool!"

Qin Jun watched with excitement, never expecting Kuafu to be so imposing, pressuring the Buddha like this!

Facing the formidable Kuafu, the Buddha's narrowed eyes revealed a hint of killing intent, which was extremely terrifying in the night.

"This person has reached the realm of a great Luo Golden Immortal. Although my avatar is not afraid of him, if he were to go all out and make a desperate move, it might cause some damage to my true form," the Buddha hesitated. Although the Western Regions had developed rapidly under his leadership, there were too few top-tier experts. He had painstakingly condensed an avatar at the great Luo realm, and if it were to be destroyed here, it would not be worth the loss.

With this in mind, the Buddha began to consider retreating.

Opening his eyes, he smiled and said, "There are indeed many strong individuals under the rule of the Holy Emperor. It seems that tonight, I won't be able to invite the Holy Emperor to the Western Regions. I'll extend the invitation another time!"

With that, he disappeared into thin air, as if he had never appeared at all.

Kuafu remained in place, not giving chase, because he understood that even if he did, the outcome would not be favorable.

Hundreds of generals breathed a sigh of relief; the pressure from the Buddha had been too great.

Most crucially, they realized that the opponent was only an avatar, which was even more disheartening.

Especially for Yang Jian and the Nine-Headed Bug, who had thought they could help the Great Qin Heavenly Court reach unprecedented heights, only to be deeply disappointed shortly after their return, leaving them feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Jun also felt extremely frustrated. Although he had forced the Buddha to retreat, he felt no sense of accomplishment.

Damn it!

So the Buddha was so good at showing off.

Qin Jun took a deep breath and looked at the hundreds of silent generals in the air. He shouted, "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid? I have encountered countless enemies on my journey, and there will definitely be stronger enemies in the future. Are you all afraid now?"

This statement was not only directed at the generals but also to all the people in the Holy City.

"Let him be strong! What are you afraid of? Can't you become stronger too?"

"Tonight, the Great Qin Heavenly Court was able to repel him, and tomorrow, we can do it again!"

"From nothing to establishing the Great Qin Heavenly Court, I have faced all kinds of hardships, but I am not afraid. I hope you won't be either, because you are all the warriors of the Great Qin!"

Qin Jun's impassioned voice stirred everyone's blood, even the common people and cultivators.

They all wished to follow Qin Jun in battling the heavens and the earth, and the eight directions!

"We pledge our lives to the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

Suddenly, Yuan Hong shouted, his voice penetrating, reaching thousands of miles around.

The other deities and demons followed suit, rallying the rest of the generals to shout along.

"We pledge our lives to the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

The simultaneous shouts of hundreds of strong individuals were truly spectacular, including some at the Taiyi realm. Even Yang Jian and the Nine-Headed Bug joined in.

This battle had completely integrated them into the Great Qin Heavenly Court. Perhaps it was their resentment and unwillingness towards the Buddha that made them want to stand with the Great Qin Heavenly Court against the Buddha.

The entire Holy City's people and cultivators felt the same way, fear dissipating and being replaced by excitement.

So what if there's a strong enemy?

Of course, there were still many people who remained fearful, even feeling the urge to flee the Holy City. However, the Holy City was already the most prosperous place in the Southern Regions. Where else could they escape to?

Fortunately, this battle did not affect the Holy City, and the generals returned to the Holy Emperor Peak, where Qin Jun did not end things there. Instead, he called for a court meeting to discuss how to face the Buddha.

After a stick of incense's time, the soldiers began to enter the city, calming the people's hearts.

In the main hall, Qin Jun, no longer lazy, sat upright, scanning the entire room. The generals and civil officials all kept their heads down, feeling ashamed and indignant, not daring to speak. Although the civil and military officials often clashed, at this moment, no one would be so foolish as to jump out and criticize.

"From today on, Kuafu will serve as the guardian god and enjoy the treatment of a first-class official!" Qin Jun announced, and everyone's gaze turned to Kuafu, whose towering figure stood out in the crowd in the grand hall.

The official positions in the Great Qin Heavenly Court have always been changing, and the current first-class position does not represent permanence. However, despite the changes in official positions, the salary of each general has not decreased.

Granting Kuafu a first-class official position met with no objections, and no one dared to object.

Kuafu also gave face to Qin Jun, kneeling down and expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Thanks to Qin Jun's flattery and interaction with him, Kuafu's loyalty had now reached a staggering ninety-five percent, inching closer and closer to unwavering loyalty.

Qin Jun found that the people of the witch clan seemed to be straightforward. Praise the witch clan, and Kuafu would be happy; belittle the witch clan, and Kuafu might even confront you on the spot.

"The one just now is the overlord of the Western Regions, Tathagata, revered as the Buddha by the Western Buddhist sect!" Qin Jun changed the topic.

Tathagata Buddha!

What a domineering name! The civil and military officials in the court all looked at each other. No wonder he was so formidable; he turned out to be the ruler of the Western Regions.

With this realization, their resentment diminished somewhat.

Being suppressed by an unknown person and being beaten by the ruler of the Western Regions were definitely two different feelings.

At least they could console themselves.

"In the future, we will be in a hostile relationship with the Western Regions, cease all trade and communication with the Western Regions, and block the borders!" Qin Jun said in a stern tone. He was not like other monarchs who were always hesitant.

When it was time to break ties, he would do so without hesitation. He was not afraid of further offending Tathagata.

"If the people of the Western Regions dare to enter the Southern Regions, they will be directly expelled. If they dare to cause trouble again, they will be executed on the spot!" Qin Jun declared coldly, causing the civil officials to frown and the military officials to become excited.

If it weren't for Qin Jun having his own bottom line, he would have directly ordered the execution of the Western intruders.

"You don't need to worry too much. Yuan Ba and the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint will return tomorrow. I will use supreme divine power to make their cultivation soar. When facing Tathagata, the Great Qin Heavenly Court will not be as embarrassed as tonight!" Qin Jun's words were shocking, leaving the civil and military officials wide-eyed.

They looked around and indeed did not see the figures of Li Yuanba and the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint. It turned out that Qin Jun had made them stronger.

For a moment, the military officials became excited, their breathing becoming rapid. If even a powerhouse like the Ninth Spirit Yuan Saint could become stronger, they were sure they could too!

However, they understood that such supreme divine power would surely come with great consumption, something that ordinary people could not endure.

To be continued!
