Chapter 10: The Heavenly Mechanism Cannot be Leaked

"Huh? Qianqian junior sister, what are you doing here?"

A female cultivator suddenly stopped and asked. Although she had an ordinary appearance, she was wearing the iconic yellow robe of the Xuanling Sect, and her cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, one level higher than Qianqian.

Qianqian's eyes lit up when she saw her. "Senior Sister Li, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"There's a beast tide ahead!"

"My goodness! We're surrounded!"

The cultivators had just run past Qin Jun and stopped. The silhouette of the beast tide appeared on the horizon. Now, the only direction without the beast tide was facing the woods. If they turned and ran towards the woods, they would probably be trampled to death by the beast tide before reaching the woods.

At that moment, the cultivators felt despair. The female cultivator known as Senior Sister Li came to Qianqian and sighed, "Junior Sister, we can't escape. Why did you come out? Why didn't you stay in the sect?"

Qin Jun was annoyed by their bickering, so he impatiently shouted, "Shut up, you're not dead yet!"

The Xiong Tian Dog raised its head, showing a disdainful look in its eyes.

The cultivators all looked at Qin Jun, dressed in the attire of the Forbidden Guard. His talent was evident, especially after breaking through to the Foundation Building Realm, which made the Qi Refining Realm cultivators secretly shocked.

Which sect does this young man belong to?

But now, in the face of great danger, no one cared about his identity.

"Darn it, we're surrounded by the beast tide. Can we survive?"

"Damn the Demon King for attracting so many monsters."

"Where's the Demon King? You speculate it's the Demon King's doing, but I haven't seen the presence of the Demon King."

"I never thought that after roaming the kingdom for so many years, I would die in the wilderness! I refuse to accept it!"

Qin Jun looked at the group of desperate cultivators speechlessly. "Damn, do you have to be so embarrassing?"

The ground tremors became stronger and the beast tide approached them. Even a large number of monsters ran out of the woods. Now, except for the sky, they had no direction to escape.

Despair began to spread among the crowd, and even Qianqian was trembling, holding onto Senior Sister Li's arm tightly.

At that moment, Qin Jun suddenly felt himself straighten up and stand tall.

It seemed that he had to save this group of people!

"Xiong Tian Dog!"

Seeing the beast tide getting closer, Qin Jun directly shouted. The Xiong Tian Dog, with its head held high, walked forward with pride. It had clearly heard the insults from the cultivators earlier.

It disdainfully glanced at the group of eighteen cultivators, and with their dumbfounded expressions, it raised its head and let out a long howl.

"Roar—"

The Xiong Tian Dog's howl was different from that of a dog, more like that of a tiger or lion, full of dominance, deafening, and overwhelming. It scared the cultivators, who covered their ears.

The beast tide approaching from all directions towards Qin Jun and the others all stopped and prostrated on the ground. Every monster lowered its head, as if paying homage to a king.

"Damn! This..."

"This black dog... is the Demon King?"

"Damn, no wonder it runs so fast!"

"I don't believe it! How could it be the Demon King..."

The cultivators, after a brief astonishment, began to excitedly discuss. Even Qianqian and Daji were shocked, looking at the Xiong Tian Dog.

At that moment, the Xiong Tian Dog seemed to become majestic, and its messy black fur even reflected a metallic luster under the sunlight, which was awe-inspiring.

Ignoring the shock of the cultivators, Qin Jun asked the Xiong Tian Dog, "Why did you attract so many monsters?"

Looking around at the many monster auras that made him shudder, indicating a large number of second-tier monsters, the Xiong Tian Dog spoke in human language, unable to conceal a hint of arrogance in its tone.

"I am the Demon King of this area. Today, I came to pay my respects to the lord. These monsters didn't want to part with me, so they came in groups to send me off." The Xiong Tian Dog spoke, its tone full of pride.

Qin Jun suddenly realized that the system had arranged an identity for every summoned deity and demon, erasing their memories of the original work. Perhaps all the deities and demons had already appeared, waiting for his summons.

He really couldn't believe that the Mythical System could constantly manipulate the entire world.

It really is the Demon King!

The cultivators looked at each other. The black dog they had mocked earlier turned out to be a Demon King. They felt a chill down their spines, but also felt fortunate that at least they wouldn't be trampled to death by the beast tide.

"What is the origin of this guy?"

Qianqian widened her eyes. Qin Jun always had a way to surprise her, with Daji alone being formidable, and now there was a Demon King paying his respects. In the entire Qianyue Kingdom, he could already walk with his head held high!

Constantly sweating, Chang Hao couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Just thinking about how he had offended the Xiong Tian Dog earlier made his body shiver.

"Alright, Xiong Tian Dog, disperse them, we need to move on."

Qin Jun suppressed the urge to attack the monsters and said. If he were to attack these monsters, the loyalty of the Xiong Tian Dog would probably plummet.

The Xiong Tian Dog nodded, then let out a long howl, and the surrounding monsters made way for Qin Jun and the others. Thus, Qin Jun, with Daji and the Xiong Tian Dog, walked forward, and Qianqian and Chang Hao quickly followed his footsteps. The other cultivators dared not linger and also followed behind Qin Jun and the others.

Looking at the various terrifying monsters on both sides, the cultivators were filled with fear, and at the same time, Qin Jun's status in their hearts skyrocketed.

In the Qianyue Kingdom, they had never heard of anyone who could subdue a Demon King.

Even the strongest in the kingdom, the Sect Master of the Purple Light Sect, Ao Tianlai, couldn't do it!

The Demon King is an invincible symbol in the Kingdom of Qianyue, but fortunately, there are only a few Demon Kings in the kingdom, and they generally do not interfere with the human race.

These cultivators come from the three major sects and some smaller sects. By chance, they formed a group to venture into the wilderness in search of treasures.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a beast tide this morning, which has left them all in a state of high tension.

"Master, how did you come to know it?" Daji asked curiously. She had thought she would be the strongest under Qin Jun's command, but now a Xiong Tian dog suddenly appeared, which made her feel a little frustrated.

"Haha! Some things are better left unsaid!" Qin Jun boasted. When life is going well, one should enjoy it to the fullest and boast when the time is right!

"Master is the heaven-sent divine child, destined to unify the myriad realms. It is my honor to serve under Master," the Xiong Tian dog suddenly flattered, which made Qin Jun feel quite pleased.

Currently, the Xiong Tian dog's loyalty has reached its maximum value, which is why it is flattering him like this. If its loyalty were not high, its attitude would be completely different.

"Alright, from now on, don't call me master, call me young master!" Qin Jun waved his hand and said with a smile.

In the future, he would definitely have to bring Daji and the Xiong Tian dog into the royal palace. The title of "master" is likely to provoke criticism from other courtiers. Although he can now act with impunity, he still wants to ascend the throne in a legitimate manner. If there were a rebellion, it would definitely lead to war. Even if he won, the national strength of the Kingdom of Qianyue would greatly decline.

According to the memories of this body, his adoptive father's health is deteriorating day by day, and he probably won't last more than a few years.

He doesn't want to clean up the mess!

What he wants is a strong Kingdom of Qianyue!
