Chapter 36: Guan Shengdi

"Ding! Randomly summoning a deity or demon!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning General Guan, one of the Four Great Marshals!"

"Guan Yu (Emperor Guan), from Taoist legends."

"Race: Human race!"

"Cultivation: Ninth level of the Void Transformation Realm!"

"Techniques: Martial Qi, Blue Dragon Slashing Divine Blade, Horse Beheading Blade!"

"Divine Ability: Evil-Breaking Phoenix Eye!"

"Mount: Red Hare Divine Horse!"

"Loyalty: 85 (full value 100)!"

What?

Guan Yu?

The Guan Yu who defeated Hua Xiong after drinking wine and passed through the Five Passes to slay the Six Generals?

Qin Jun was dumbfounded, his mind struggling to comprehend. He hurriedly asked, "Guan Yu is also a deity?"

"That's right. After various adaptations and legends such as 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', Guan Yu has been continuously deified in the folk, even being referred to as the God of War and Emperor Guan. The system has summoned the Guan Yu from the Four Great Marshals of Ma, Zhao, Wen, and Guan."

"This Guan Yu is the General Guan who guards one of the Four Great Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Court. In order to guard the South Gate well, the Jade Emperor strictly selects the gate-guarding marshals, who must have considerable strength and a deterrent appearance. Guan Yu fits the bill, and there are various versions of folk legends, but the Ma, Zhao, Wen, and Guan version is the most common. The system has also set it as the Four Great Marshals of Ma, Zhao, Wen, and Guan!"

Qin Jun was astonished. Guan Yu had truly become a deity, and he was the marshal guarding the South Gate of Heaven. He couldn't help but think of the scenes in 'Journey to the West', but unfortunately, the general guarding the South Gate in the story was quite insignificant.

However, seeing that Guan Yu only had the cultivation of the ninth level of the Void Transformation Realm, he suddenly felt relieved. Such strength was indeed a supporting role in front of Sun Wukong.

In any case, the memories of the summoned deities and demons would be reset by the system, and he couldn't be bothered to continue arguing.

"Brother Guan, I hope you don't disappoint me," Qin Jun sighed as he sat on the bed. In the Three Kingdoms period, there were so many heroes, and Guan Yu's achievements after his death were definitely top-notch. There were countless temples dedicated to the God of War in the folk, and figures like Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu were not deified to the same extent as Guan Yu.

Thinking of Guan Yu's deeds in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', Qin Jun's eyes lit up. Guan Yu was definitely the best candidate for a showdown between experts!

The mythical version of Guan Yu would surely have extraordinary combat power!

Moreover, Guan Yu was the first human race he had summoned.

Furthermore, Guan Yu was a general himself, and perhaps he could be noticed by the emperor during the confrontation between the two countries and enter the military camp.

The more Qin Jun thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to see Guan Yu, but the deities and demons summoned by the mythical system would appear within a day, and he couldn't be impatient.

...

Early the next morning, a young woman in a green dress with a veil covering her face walked down from the second floor of the Luoyan Inn. She had a delicate figure and held her hands lightly at her waist. Her skin was as white as jade, and a cute maid of about fourteen or fifteen years old followed her.

As soon as the two women appeared, they attracted the attention and discussions of all the guests in the hall on the first floor.

"It's this woman again. She only comes downstairs every three days. She's so mysterious!"

"She's been here for half a month already. Some people even tried to strike up a conversation with her, but she sent them flying with a single palm."

"Wow, she's that powerful?"

"Most importantly, the innkeeper seems to turn a blind eye to it, as if he didn't see anything."

"It seems that this woman is not from the Kingdom of Qianyue."

The young woman remained indifferent to the discussions of the guests. Her bright eyes were as calm as water, and there was a hint of vermilion between her eyebrows, which was hard to notice if one didn't look carefully.

The maid did not sit down but stood by her side and asked with a lively voice, "Miss, do you need anything? I'll go buy it for you."

"No need, sit down. The capital has been restless recently," the young woman shook her head and said. She glanced at all the guests on the first floor, and finally, with disappointment, withdrew her gaze.

The waiter quickly came over, and the maid ordered for the young woman. Meanwhile, the young woman casually sipped her tea, lost in thought.

Everything returned to calm. Although the other cultivators were curious about the young woman, they didn't dare to stare at her for too long because of her profound cultivation and mysterious background.

When the waiter brought the food, a new guest arrived at the Luoyan Inn, and it was none other than Qin Yu.

At this moment, Qin Yu was dressed in a blue shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, and had the demeanor of a dashing young man. Behind him was the Blood Blade King, who was also dressed in black. The two of them were clearly in disguise and had some ulterior motive for coming here.

As they entered, the guests turned their heads to look, and their gazes were mainly focused on the Blood Blade King.

This person exuded a strong killing intent, making everyone shiver as soon as he entered.

Even the young woman couldn't help but turn her head to look. Her gaze lingered on the Blood Blade King for a moment before moving away, finally settling on Qin Yu. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, "To reach the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm at such a young age, he can be considered a genius."

"Innkeeper, do you have a guest named Yan Mobei?" Qin Yu came to the counter and asked with a smile.

The innkeeper first gave a deep glance at the Blood Blade King, then shook his head and said, "The Luoyan Inn has its own rules and cannot disclose any information about any guest, so I don't know if there is such a person."

"Hmph!"

The Blood Blade King snorted coldly, and the aura of the Foundation Building Realm burst out, causing the atmosphere in the hall to freeze instantly.

Many guests' expressions changed, but some of them also showed a mocking expression.

The miscellaneous servants in the corner flashed a cold light in their eyes, and then they all walked towards the Blood Blade King. However, the innkeeper promptly signaled with his eyes, and the servants stopped in their tracks.

"Prince Wu, do you think you can act recklessly at the Luoyi Inn just because you have a Foundation Establishment cultivator by your side?" The innkeeper's voice was cold. Although there had been conflicts at the inn before, he had always pretended not to notice, as long as there were no fights inside the inn. Both Qin Yu and the woman in green had easily defeated their opponents, and he was too lazy to intervene.

But Bloodthirsty King's actions were undoubtedly a challenge to the authority of the Luoyi Inn.

Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, then he waved his hand and smiled, "Please, be respectful!"

Bloodthirsty King nodded, then withdrew his momentum, while his gaze quietly swept across the various corners. In that instant just now, he had felt several strands of killing intent, making him feel as if he were in an icy cave.

"What is the origin of this Luoyi Inn..." Bloodthirsty King thought to himself, feeling secretly shocked.

The guests looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected this young man to be the fifth prince of the current dynasty.

In the capital, who didn't know that Qin Yu was the prince most likely to become the crown prince?

Only the woman in green shook her head, sighing softly, "I thought he was a genius, but I didn't expect him to be a prince."

This sentence was highly ambiguous, and the surrounding guests understood her meaning. As a prince, he must have many resources, so the title of genius did not match the reality.

Qin Yu's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously turned to look at the woman in green, only to see her back.

"Innkeeper, can you please arrange for my beloved steed to be taken care of?"

A powerful voice suddenly came from the entrance, like a thunderclap. Those with weaker cultivation even felt a painful sensation in their eardrums.

Everyone turned to look and saw a burly man in green walking in. He was nine feet tall, with a two-foot-long beard, phoenix eyes, curved eyebrows, a face like a red date, and lips as if painted with rouge. He seemed like a towering iron tower, exuding a domineering aura that looked down upon the world.

The newcomer was none other than Guan Yu, summoned by Qin Yu—the Emperor Guan.
